m038andClaude Opus 5 839a4d0e69 docs: cut CLAUDE.md to rules-only (179 → 74 lines)
CLAUDE.md now carries only what must be known *before* opening a file:
hard rules, gotchas, and an entry-point table. Everything descriptive
moved to the doc that lives next to the code.

Moved out:
- stack versions, plugin roles, asset pipeline, nav shape, user/ repo
  tracking rules → docs/reference/architecture.md
- Playwright layout, config facts, auth-setup project, test account
  → docs/reference/testing.md (new)
- folder map, full make command list (build/test/demo/worktree targets
  that only existed in CLAUDE.md) → README.md
- dev/prod Twig settings table → already in docs/guides/deploy-cycle.md

Fixed while verifying, all of them descriptions that had drifted:
- demo fixtures were listed as italy-2026-demo + no-photos-demo; the
  actual folders are italy-2025 + italy-2026-demo
- the map engine was cited at js/src/maplibre-utils.js; it is
  js/maplibre-utils.js, a hand-authored file beside the bundles
- the build-output list omitted fonts/ and the generated
  templates/partials/weather-icons.html.twig, and did not flag that
  js/maplibre-utils.js and js/nav.js are sources living in js/
- README called user/ a "standalone git repo" (it is a submodule)
- docs/README.md linked to a non-existent working/production-todo.md
- git-sync-notes.md pointed at "CLAUDE.md §1", a section number that
  no longer exists

Net: ~17.1k → ~8.5k chars of always-loaded context.

# Git Sync Plugin — Setup Notes
## ⚠️ Config lives in the ENVIRONMENT tree, not `user/config/` (IMPORTANT)
Prod has a per-environment override directory `user/env/<hostname>/config/`
(created for Twig prod-mode — see [`../guides/deploy-cycle.md`](../guides/deploy-cycle.md) →
"The env override tree"). **A crucial Grav side effect:
once that env dir exists, the Admin panel saves ALL config changes — system and
plugin — into the active environment's config tree**, not `user/config/`.
So on prod, `git-sync.yaml` (configured via Admin) lives at:
```
user/env/intotheeast.com/config/plugins/git-sync.yaml ← here (env tree)
user/config/plugins/git-sync.yaml ← NOT here
```
Why this matters:
- **⚠️ `user/env/` is NOT safe unless gitignored — it is NOT scoped out by the
`folders` setting.** An earlier version of this note claimed `user/env/`
"never reaches Gitea" because it is outside git-sync's synced folders. **That
is wrong and caused a live secret leak (2026-07-05).** git-sync's auto-commit
stages files *outside* the configured `folders`; on prod it pushed the whole
`user/env/intotheeast.com/config/` tree — JWT secret, CSRF salt, **and the
git-sync token + webhook secret** — to Gitea. The fix was to **gitignore
`/env/`** (commit `6e8eadb`). So: prod Admin config edits stay server-only
*only because `/env/` is now gitignored*, not because of folder scope. Author
durable config in the repo, not prod Admin. Full analysis:
`docs/solutions/architecture-patterns/git-sync-secret-exposure-and-tracked-file-boomerang.md`.
- **Look in both places.** When inspecting/toggling server config, check
`user/config/plugins/<name>.yaml` **and**
`user/env/<host>/config/plugins/<name>.yaml` (env wins).
- **Tooling is env-path-aware.** `scripts/git-sync-toggle.sh` takes a `WEBROOT`
and searches `user/env/*/config/plugins/git-sync.yaml` first, then
`user/config/plugins/git-sync.yaml`. `make remote-git-sync-disable/enable-<env>`
and `make remote-diag-<env>` use it.
## Folders format
Older plugin versions' UI saved the `folders` field as a single comma-string
(`- 'pages,config,themes'`), which the plugin iterated as one path, so sync
silently did nothing. **git-sync v3.4.4 (installed on prod 2026-07-04) saves it
correctly** as separate list items:
```yaml
folders:
- pages
- config
- themes
```
If you see the comma-string form on an older version, fix it by editing
`git-sync.yaml` directly (at whichever path it lives — see above); do not
re-save folders via the Admin UI on the buggy version.
## Per-install / secret files — must be gitignored (gitignore is the boundary)
git-sync's auto-commit stages **everything under `user/` that is not
gitignored** — the `folders` setting does *not* scope the commit add-set (a
2026-07-05 leak proved this by pushing `user/env/**`, outside the configured
folders). So `.gitignore` — not folder scope — is the only thing keeping a
per-install or secret file off Gitea. Keep all of these gitignored in
`user/.gitignore`:
| Path | Why |
|---|---|
| `env/` | **whole per-host env tree** — holds the live git-sync token, JWT secret, CSRF salt + all server-side Admin config. Gitignored + untracked 2026-07-05 (commit `6e8eadb`) after it leaked to Gitea. NOT safe on folder scope alone. |
| `config/plugins/git-sync.yaml` | encrypted token; server-specific (also lives at env path on prod) |
| `config/plugins/api-private.php` | API JWT secret |
| `config/security.yaml` | Grav nonces/salts (legacy location) |
| `config/versions.yaml` | per-install Grav schema-migration state — differs per env (dev 2.0.4, prod 2.0.7); Grav regenerates it. Untracked 2026-07-04. |
| `config/security-private.php` | CSRF/nonce + admin rate-limit signing salt; gitignored + untracked 2026-07-05 (commit 2840018). Each env keeps its own; untracking regenerates prod's salt (one-time admin re-login). |
> **Why a key inside a *tracked* config file (e.g. `popularity.salt` in `api.yaml`) can't just be stripped** — it regenerates at runtime and boomerangs back via git-sync's `git add -A`. See `docs/solutions/architecture-patterns/git-sync-secret-exposure-and-tracked-file-boomerang.md` for the full round-trippable-set model.
## git-sync config summary (prod, 2026-07-04)
- `repository: https://git.gorinskat.nl/m038/intotheeast-com-content.git`,
`branch: main`, HTTPS + token auth (SSH is Tailscale-only).
- `sync.direction: both`, `on_save/on_delete/on_media: true` → prod Admin edits
and `/post` push to Gitea; content-repo pushes pull to prod **via webhook**
(`/_git-sync`). The webhook is configured in Gitea repo settings (same secret
as the test instance).
- **Before enabling on a fresh server**, reset the synced folders clean
(`make remote-fetch-content-<env>`) so no install-time drift (e.g. a stale
`versions.yaml`) gets pushed on the first sync. Toggle with
`make remote-git-sync-disable/enable-<env>`.
