Overview
Comment:Add CI: private git mirror + GitHub Actions running the release battery

CI is the multiplier for the rest of the 0.1.0 sequence: from here every fix lands with fmt/build/test/e2e/dst/smoke gated automatically, and the smoke conformance claim — zit artifacts and deltas validated against the real fossil binary — becomes continuously enforced instead of milestone-manual.

- .github/workflows/ci.yml: single ubuntu-latest gating job on push and PR. Zig 0.16.0 pinned by version AND sha256 digest, verified with sha256sum --check --strict before use; fossil installed for smoke; the battery runs in order with a 20-minute job ceiling and a 5-minute bound on smoke, which is the one step that can hang without producing output. - src/ci_test.zig: structural pins over the workflow, so the file cannot drift from what it claims. Each pin is anchored to a whole line with its YAML indentation — a loose substring is satisfied by the phrase appearing in a comment while the block that governs the run says something else. The digest pin names ZIG_SHASUM and the tarball together, so the digest this repo pins is provably the digest the workflow checks. - src/packaging_test.zig: a negative-space pin asserting every path build.zig embeds is version-controlled. This diff is why: build.zig came to depend on .github/workflows/ci.yml while that file was untracked, and bare 'fossil extras' does not list dotfiles, so the commit-discipline check reported clean. The pin runs 'fossil ls' and fails on any embed that is not tracked.

The mirror is PRIVATE (github.com/danmestas/zit) and stays private; publishing is a separate decision that is deliberately not part of this release.

Add scripts/mirror-export.sh: the reproducible export to the private mirror

The mirror is a derived view for running CI, never a source of truth — fossil is the repository, and every push is a replay of fossil history, which is why it pushes --mirror and nothing is ever committed git-side.

Why a script when 'fossil git export' already works: its configuration (mirror directory and autopush URL) is per-checkout state, machine-local and invisible to anyone else cloning this repo. The script documents the one supported way to run the export and fails with the exact 'fossil git export ... --autopush ...' fix line when a checkout has never been configured.

It also re-drives the push explicitly rather than relying on autopush. Autopush is best-effort: the first export of the CI commit hit a transient connection refusal to github.com, left the local mirror ahead of the remote, and 'fossil git status' still reported up-to-date — because that status describes the export, not the push. Re-driving makes the push's exit status the script's.

The mirror is PRIVATE and stays private; the script never touches visibility. check-in: ef4efe16b3 user: dmestas tags: trunk

Merge release-0.1: Narrow .paths to docs/rfcs so working docs never ship in a fetched package

Second increment of the 0.1.0 release sequence, landed on trunk as it completes rather than accumulating to a big-bang merge at the end.

The increment: build.zig.zon .paths named the whole docs directory. A Zig package is cut from the working tree, not from what fossil tracks, so the ignore-glob does not govern it -- a bare docs entry ships whatever sits under docs/ at package time, including the ignore-glob'd docs/plans/*.md working documents, which are internal and must never leave the repository. .paths now names docs/rfcs directly, which is also what the repo convention already states (0ad7fa92c6: "docs/ is for the RFCs only"); the manifest encodes that convention instead of relying on docs/ happening to stay clean.

Evidence: a new pin in src/packaging_test.zig asserts both halves -- that .paths contains "docs/rfcs", and, as negative space, that a bare "docs" entry is absent, so the ship-everything form cannot drift back unnoticed.

The merged tree was re-verified before this commit: zig fmt --check, zig build, and zig build test all green on the merge result. Green on the branch does not imply green on the merge, since trunk advances with concurrent work.

No borrowed techniques in this change, so no attribution is owed. check-in: 0c22d3a950 user: dmestas tags: trunk
