## Problem and outcome Website visitors can download the usual Windows x64, macOS Apple silicon and Linux x64 App packages directly from clearly labeled platform cards. Each card includes a verified Gitee alternative, with shared setup guidance and a More downloads link for the full release list. The homepage reuses the application's 20 bilingual greetings, and the sample game no longer displays an invented title. Website builds resolve links from the latest published GitHub release and validate matching mirror assets. Website deployment follows main CI so newly published packages reach the next site build. Version selection and release notes now share a product-change filter: standalone website, documentation and maintenance changes do not create App/Server releases or affect the next product version. ## Verification - `npm run check`: 57 test files / 759 tests, TypeScript and product production build passed. - Website build passed with real GitHub/Gitee v1.0.0 metadata and with the explicit local fallback. - English and Chinese browser checks at 390px and 1440px passed: platform links, More downloads, greeting selection and language switching. - All 23 website film check groups passed; the final shared artwork change rebuilt successfully. - Documentation, repository hygiene and diff checks passed. Real Git-history tests cover product/website mixtures and moves across the release boundary; the accepted phase plans `publish: false`. ## Impact GitHub remains the version authority; Gitee is a download mirror. Unavailable mirror metadata falls back to its release page. Product runtime behavior and package compatibility are unchanged. Physical macOS/Linux capture and broader device/network limits remain documented.

GitHub Repository And Releases
Versioning owns release meaning and compatibility; CONTRIBUTING owns review and local validation. This file owns the one-time GitHub settings. The source repository is public; automatic package publication has its own activation gate below.
Main And Pull Requests
Use squash merging only, with the PR title and body as the squash commit. These repository settings are applied. Keep automatic branch deletion off: the normal cleanup step checks local worktrees and remaining references first.
Protect main with PRs required, zero mandatory peer approvals for the solo
maintainer, administrator enforcement, linear history, and no force pushes or
deletions. Do not require cloud PR checks while branch/PR CI is intentionally
quiet; local validation and acceptance precede the squash merge. PR/issue
templates live in .github/; naming
is shared with automatic version selection.
These protections are active, including conversation resolution. GitHub Pages
uses the GitHub Actions publishing source and the piik.tv custom domain;
the repository homepage points to https://piik.tv. The dedicated Website
workflow publishes the static site under website operations.
Enable Automatic Publication Once
Before enabling, accept the release packages, compatibility baseline, public
copy and repository visibility; finish main protection. Then set repository
Actions variable PIIK_RELEASES_ENABLED to true. This is a repository setting,
not an environment variable for Piik App or Server.
Subsequent accepted PRs merged to main use the existing CI workflow. Product
changes calculate one version, validate, package Server and all App targets,
and publish the same artifacts. Standalone website/docs changes validate without
packaging or releasing; versioning
owns that boundary. Runs queue rather than overlap or cancel one another. Branches/PRs
stay quiet; manual client_checks dispatch remains available for candidates.
Writing a new version back to main is unnecessary and prohibited.
For a complete publisher rehearsal, dispatch with client_checks: true and an
explicit candidate_version such as v1.0.0. This builds genuine Server and
native App artifacts under one revision and version without tagging or
publishing. Prepare its release-note section
and inspect the generated preview in the run summary. For a local preview, run
node scripts/release-notes.mjs v1.0.0 FULL_SOURCE_SHA from the checkout with
full history and tags. Download that run's artifacts and pass their directory, version and
full revision to scripts/publish-release.mjs --dry-run (put the flag after
the three positional arguments). An omitted candidate version keeps the usual
development/exact-tag identity.
Enable GitHub's built-in release immutability for formal publication where
available. Upload all assets to the draft before publishing. A failed upload can
resume its same-source draft; a published version is never clobbered. If its
files are wrong or incomplete, publish a corrected new version. An older retry
must not replace a newer release's latest designation.
To stop future automatic publication, remove/set false the activation variable; this does not alter existing releases or a currently running workflow. Inspect the active run separately. No pipeline step changes visibility or installs an update into a running Piik deployment.
Gitee Download Mirror
TNTcraftHIM/Piik is a public README/Release
mirror. Source, documentation and issues stay on GitHub. The publishing job uses
the repository Actions secret GITEE_TOKEN, which is configured; rotate it there
when needed. Never put it in source, a remote URL or a distributed package.
GitHub publication continues to use the workflow's scoped token.
After GitHub publication, the same job runs scripts/mirror-release.mjs on the
original artifacts. Upload failure leaves the Gitee release marked as a preview.
Rerun the failed publishing job to verify existing files and upload only missing
ones. GitHub's published release remains unchanged. Both publishers reject
changing a published package; use a corrected new version if its bytes are wrong.
If the original Actions artifacts have expired, download that release's files from GitHub into an external working directory, then run:
gh release download v1.0.0 --repo TNTcraftHIM/Piik --dir /tmp/piik-mirror
node scripts/mirror-release.mjs /tmp/piik-mirror v1.0.0 FULL_SOURCE_SHA
Use the release's actual version and full target_commitish SHA, with
GITEE_TOKEN supplied through the publisher environment. --dry-run after the
three arguments checks local identity, checksums and attachment sizes without
publishing. The release-source policy
owns provenance, selection and quota limits. The first public release passed
complete matching Server and three-platform App mirror download acceptance.
