Merge branch 'main' into website (Gitea migration + ADR renumber)
Brings website up to date with main (18 commits): H1a parse-error pedagogy, V5/H3/V5a show+help commands, ADR-0043 compound-PK FK, handoffs 58-59, and the GitHub->Gitea doc scrub (Cargo.toml repository, CLAUDE.md, ADR-0001 amendment, requirements). Conflict: docs/adr/README.md. main and website had each created an ADR-0042 (main: H1a parse-error pedagogy; website: public website & docs site). Renumbered the website ADR to 0044 (next free after main's 0042/0043) and updated all references (ADR file, plan file, STYLE.md, astro.config.mjs, README index). Website build verified green.

# ADR-0044: Public website and documentation site
|
||||
|
||||
## Status
|
||||
|
||||
Accepted (2026-06-04). Implementation plan:
|
||||
[`docs/plans/20260604-adr-0044-website.md`](../plans/20260604-adr-0044-website.md).
|
||||
|
||||
> Renumbered from ADR-0042 to ADR-0044 when the `website` branch merged
|
||||
> `main` (2026-06-09): `main` had independently used 0042 for the H1a
|
||||
> parse-error ADR and 0043 for compound-PK FK references. Content is
|
||||
> unchanged from the original draft.
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
RDBMS Playground is nearing its first public release and needs a public
|
||||
website that does two jobs: **attract** — a landing page that shows the
|
||||
playground in action — and **document** — a thorough, canonical reference
|
||||
for everything the playground can do.
|
||||
|
||||
The documentation-heavy surface is already implemented and verified (full
|
||||
simple- and advanced-mode command set, the ten-type vocabulary,
|
||||
relationships, constraints, indexes, EXPLAIN, undo/history/replay, projects,
|
||||
export/import, the teaching echo, clipboard, friendly errors, tab completion
|
||||
and syntax highlighting; 2151 tests passing at the time of writing). The
|
||||
site is therefore largely a presentation-and-writing effort, not a
|
||||
wait-for-features one. A grounded inventory of what is shippable now lives
|
||||
in the implementation plan.
|
||||
|
||||
Several choices here had no canonical default; they were settled during a
|
||||
planning + `/runda` pass with the user and are recorded below.
|
||||
|
||||
## Decision
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Stack — Astro 6 + Starlight + Tailwind v4.** Astro's content-first,
|
||||
zero-JS-by-default model with the Starlight docs theme fits a
|
||||
marketing-landing-plus-heavy-docs site better than the alternative
|
||||
considered, SvelteKit + Tailwind (the usual go-to here). Interactive
|
||||
pieces are added as Astro islands (Svelte or vanilla), so Svelte is still
|
||||
available where it earns its place. Tailwind v4 is wired via the official
|
||||
`@tailwindcss/vite` plugin; the `@astrojs/starlight-tailwind` plugin
|
||||
bridges Tailwind with Starlight's theming.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Demo medium — asciinema.** Showcase sequences are recorded as
|
||||
asciinema `.cast` files (text-based, small, faithful to the full
|
||||
alternate-screen render) and embedded with `asciinema-player`. The same
|
||||
casts are reused inline in the docs — one recording format serves both
|
||||
the landing page and documentation enrichment. Recordings are produced by
|
||||
a **scripted-input driver** that types commands into a real PTY with
|
||||
viewer-friendly pacing; the app's own `history.log` **replay** (ADR-0034)
|
||||
re-executes commands without typing animation or pacing and is therefore
|
||||
suitable only for state-deterministic docs snippets, not the hero demo.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **In-page WASM playground — deferred** (OOS: **deferred**, not rejected).
|
||||
A live, type-it-yourself playground compiled from the Rust app to
|
||||
WebAssembly is desirable but is a multi-week sub-project, so it does not
|
||||
block the site. The demo section is designed with a stable seam (a single
|
||||
`Demo` component contract) so a WASM playground island can replace the
|
||||
asciinema player later with no change to call sites. Recorded boundary
|
||||
for that future work:
|
||||
- **Portable core (runs on `wasm32-unknown-unknown` largely as-is):**
|
||||
`src/dsl/*` (parser, types, grammar, walker), the pure `App::update()`,
|
||||
`ui.rs`, `theme.rs`, `friendly/*`, output rendering; an in-memory DB
|
||||
path already exists (`Connection::open_in_memory()`). `rusqlite`
|
||||
compiles to the browser target via its `ffi-sqlite-wasm-rs` feature.
|
||||
- **Native edge needing `cfg`-gated browser replacements:** the
|
||||
multi-thread Tokio runtime + the dedicated DB **worker thread**
|
||||
(ADR-0010) → current-thread/in-line async; `crossterm` terminal +
|
||||
event-stream → a browser backend (e.g. Ratzilla's DOM/Canvas) + DOM
|
||||
events; `arboard`, `zip`, file persistence (ADR-0015), file logging;
|
||||
and the rusqlite **backup-API** undo (ADR-0006) → a SQL dump/restore.
|
||||
When taken up, this becomes its own ADR + iteration plan.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Hosting — portable static build; Vercel is the likely target.** Astro 6
|
||||
builds to static HTML/CSS with no adapter, so the output deploys equally
|
||||
to Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, or GitHub Pages. We avoid coupling
|
||||
to any one host. **No CI yet** — the site is tested locally (`pnpm dev` /
|
||||
`pnpm build`) until the repo reaches its public home.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Repo topology — monorepo.** The site lives under `website/` in the
|
||||
playground repo; the crate stays at the repo root. The repo as a whole
|
||||
moves to its public home later; site and crate travel together.
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Canonical docs home — the website.** User-facing documentation lives on
|
||||
the site. In-repo `docs/` keeps ADRs, handoffs, and development notes;
|
||||
`docs/simple-mode-limitations.md` (requirement DOC1) was a development aid
|
||||
and now *feeds* the site's content rather than competing with it. The
|
||||
sharing recipes promised by requirement E2 become a docs page.
|
||||
|
||||
7. **Documentation scope and conventions.** Document the **full supported
|
||||
feature set**. Any capability not yet fully implemented (a small minority
|
||||
— e.g. multi-line input, query cancellation, `seed`, `m:n` convenience,
|
||||
ER-diagram export, the `show tables`/`relationships`/`indexes` family) is
|
||||
either omitted or carries a clear **"planned / not yet available"**
|
||||
callout — never presented as shipped. Two wording rules bind all
|
||||
user-facing copy:
|
||||
- **No engine name** (SQLite/STRICT/rusqlite/PRAGMA) — continues the
|
||||
user-facing posture of ADR-0002; copy says "the database"/"the engine".
|
||||
- **No "DSL"** — it is internal jargon. The two input modes are **simple
|
||||
mode** (the playground's keyword command language) and **advanced
|
||||
mode** (SQL).
|
||||
|
||||
8. **Install documentation — two mechanisms.** The install page documents
|
||||
**prebuilt release binaries** (self-hosted download — not GitHub
|
||||
Releases, since the repo will move) and **package managers**. Both can be
|
||||
written now against the planned mechanisms; concrete download URLs slot in
|
||||
at release. (Distribution items D1–D3 in `requirements.md` remain the
|
||||
tracking home for the release tooling itself.)
|
||||
|
||||
## Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
- The site can ship on the strength of already-implemented features; it is
|
||||
gated on writing and recording, not on finishing the app.
|
||||
- One recording format (asciinema `.cast`) serves both marketing and docs,
|
||||
and is reusable as the app evolves (re-run the script, re-record).
|
||||
- The WASM playground is preserved as a real future option without holding
|
||||
up launch; the demo seam keeps the upgrade cheap.
|
||||
- A single canonical docs home removes the divergence risk of maintaining
|
||||
user docs in two places.
|
||||
- Website build choices (Decisions 1, 2, 4, 5) are recorded here for
|
||||
traceability but do not, by themselves, warrant further ADRs; only
|
||||
app-architecture decisions (notably the future WASM port) will.
|
||||
|
||||
## Out of scope
|
||||
|
||||
- **In-page WASM playground** — *deferred* (see Decision 3); revisit as its
|
||||
own ADR + iteration plan.
|
||||
- **Hosted/SaaS playground or a server-backed doc CMS** — *rejected*: a
|
||||
static site fully satisfies the need, consistent with ADR-0007's
|
||||
no-hosted-publishing stance. Revisit only if real demand emerges.
