Web: cut over app-web to Adwaita SPA, drop Jekyll - #167
Merged
Conversation
Phase 6 (final) of the app-web rewrite: remove the classic skilldrick Jekyll
tutorial and its pre-rewrite web app, and deploy the new Adwaita SPA to GitHub
Pages via GitHub Actions instead of the legacy Jekyll build.
Removed the entire classic layer (the new SPA imports none of it, verified):
- Jekyll site: `_config.yml`, `Gemfile`(+lock), `_includes/`, `_layouts/`,
`index.markdown`, `simulator.markdown`, `snake.markdown`, `params.json`.
- Classic web app: `src/{main,game-console,display,debugger,message-console,
ui-state}.ts`, `src/main.css`, `src/style/`, `src/types/state.ts`.
- Classic build: `vite.config.js` (its `build:vite`/`build`/`setup`/`start`
scripts, plus dead `start:app`/`debug:app`).
The tutorial prose is NOT lost — it is canonical in `packages/learn/tutorial.mdx`
and already rendered by the SPA's Learn view.
New GitHub Pages deploy (`.github/workflows/deploy-pages.yml`): mirrors the CI
type-check environment (Fedora 43 + gjs + Node 24 + `gjsify install --immutable`),
builds `core`/`examples`/`learn` then `gjsify build --app browser`, and publishes
`packages/app-web/dist-app` via `actions/deploy-pages`. The built `index.html`
references `./app.js` relatively, so it serves correctly under the `/Learn6502/`
project subpath.
`build` now runs `build:app`; `clear` only removes `dist-app`; tsconfig drops the
deleted classic entry; README + AGENTS.md updated to the SPA.
NOTE: this does not flip the live site yet — Settings → Pages → Source must be
changed from the legacy `gh-pages` branch to "GitHub Actions" to serve the SPA
(done deliberately after this workflow proves green). The `gh-pages` branch is
kept as the historical record of the classic site.
