Adds go-parser/, a Go reimplementation of the xlsxread parser, verified byte-for-byte against the Rust original before any cutover. Reader fidelity is exact across all 299 input files: the canonical cell dump of every sheet matches calamine's, locked in as a test against a committed hash oracle. Reaching that required replacing extrame/xls, which corrupted 69% of cells and dropped a further 28% on the BIFF corpus, with pbnjay/grate; correcting excelize's number-format application and trailing-cell trimming; restoring carriage returns that XML line-ending normalisation strips from 2,233 ten_cum_thi values; and gating numeric re-rendering on cell type so shared strings that merely look numeric keep their leading zeros. The differential gate compares both parsers over all four datasets: 3,265,641 rows with identical full-table SHA-256, identical per-column non-NULL counts, identical schema metadata and identical stdout. Config moves from TOML to YAML for both parsers, so they keep reading the same files and the gate stays meaningful. Verified by rebuilding 2016 and 2017-old2 with Rust under the new configs and matching the recorded counts. build-db.js now refuses to publish a database whose row count does not match the known figure, closing a path where an under-producing parser could ship a truncated public dataset with green CI. The deploy workflow gains a pull_request trigger and guards deploy to main, so branch verification can no longer publish to production.

Deployment Guide
Deploys to GitHub Pages via .github/workflows/deploy-pages.yml. Every push to
main rebuilds all four datasets and redeploys the whole site.
One-time setup: Settings → Pages → Source: GitHub Actions.
What the workflow does
- Checkout, Go toolchain, Node 24,
npm ci npm run build:go— one parser binarynpm run build:db— builds and gzips all four databases into.build/public/db/npm run build:site— one Vite build, thenscripts/assemble-site.jsactions/upload-pages-artifact+actions/deploy-pages
The database build dominates the runtime: roughly 419 MB of Excel is parsed on every deploy.
Resulting URLs
https://<user>.github.io/thptqg/
https://<user>.github.io/thptqg/2016/
https://<user>.github.io/thptqg/2017/
https://<user>.github.io/thptqg/2017-old/
https://<user>.github.io/thptqg/2017-old2/
/thptqg/2017/old/ and /thptqg/2017/old2/ were the pre-flattening URLs. They
are still served, and the router rewrites them to the flat form with the query
string intact.
Local reproduction
npm ci
npm run build:go
npm run build:db # all four; pass an id to build just one
npm run build:site # vite build + assemble into _site/
npx serve _site
To rebuild a single dataset:
node go-parser/scripts/build-db.js 2017-old
Base path
vite.config.js sets base: "/thptqg/". If you fork under a different repo
name, update it to match — assets are referenced absolutely, so a mismatch shows
up as a blank page with 404s on /assets/....
Adding a dataset
- Put the Excel files in
data/<id>/ - Add
parser/configs/<id>.ymlwith the parse rules — sheet mode, column indices, SBD validation, header tokens, blank-row stripping. No SQL: the schema is canonical and lives ingo-parser/internal/schema/schema.go - Add an entry to
DATASETSinsrc/datasets.js
Nothing else. The build script, the site assembly and the router all read that one list, and the frontend adapts to whichever columns the dataset populates.
Why no uncompressed database can ship
build-db.js runs gzip -9 without -k, so the raw file does not survive
the build. assemble-site.js then fails the job if any .db, .db-journal,
.db-wal or .db-shm reached the output.
Both guards exist because the previous pipeline wrote a 100+ MB uncompressed
database into the source tree and relied on an rm step to keep it out of the
artifact — one missing line away from publishing it.
Notes
- The gzipped database is not cacheable across deploys. Every rebuild
produces a different
.db.gz, because SQLite does not lay pages out deterministically. First-visit users pay the full download; later visits hit browser cache until the next deploy. - GitHub Pages caps individual files at 100 MB. The largest gzipped database
is about 48 MB. Uncompressed they run 135–234 MB and would not fit — which is
why the browser decompresses via
DecompressionStream. - No server-side compression is assumed. The app fetches the
.gzbytes directly rather than relying onContent-Encoding: gzip; Pages does not reliably compress arbitrary paths on the fly. - Total artifact is about 177 MB, well inside the 1 GB site limit.
Rollback
Deploys are stateless snapshots. Revert the commit on main and push; the next
run rebuilds the older state. There is no data to migrate.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Typical cause |
|---|---|
| Blank page, 404 on assets | base in vite.config.js does not match the repo name |
Failed to fetch database: 404 |
Dataset id in src/datasets.js does not match the file in db/ |
| A route 404s | assemble-site.js did not run, or the id is missing from DATASETS |
| WASM fails to load | sql.js.org unreachable — self-host sql-wasm.wasm and update SQL_WASM_URL in use-sqlite.js |
| Deploy fails on assembly | An uncompressed database artefact reached the output; the error names the files |
| Missing rows after a data update | Unknown Excel header — check the per-file row counts the parser prints |
