nwsync: upload sink, key-addressed CLI, fail-closed publication marker (#73)

Builds the code half of #60, and closes the CLI gap the #53 sweep found: PR #71 shipped #53's original surface rather than the one #56, #62 and #65 settled.

## What lands

**`depot.KeyStore`** — `ProbeKey` / `PutReader` / `GetKey`, addressing the zone by object key rather than by depot sha. NWSync cannot use the sha-addressed path: a blob is named after the sha1 of its *uncompressed* bytes while the body uploaded is the compressed form, and Bunny's `Checksum` header is sha256 of the body. Per #55 this reuses `internal/depot`'s `httpBackend` — same IPv4-pinned transport, same retry, same tri-state probe — and the sha-addressed `Backend` is now rewritten on top of it. No second HTTP client, no per-instance hash-function fields: the caller passes the key and the checksum, which turned out simpler than #55 expected.

**A sink in `internal/nwsync`** — the zone by default, a local tree under `--out DIR` as the conformance path. Blobs upload as they are produced and the index lands last, so the presence of an index is the publication marker. A blob already in the zone is skipped via #55's probe *without* paying for compression (the body is a thunk) — which matters for the backfill, where compression is the expensive part.

**The settled CLI**

```
nwsync emit     [--as NAME] [--out DIR] <artifact-key> <file>
nwsync assemble --group-id N [--tlk-key KEY] [--out DIR] <artifact-key>...
```

Artifact keys are depot keys; an index lives beside its artifact with the extension replaced (#62), derived in exactly one place so `emit` and `assemble` cannot disagree. Flags may now follow positionals — Go's `flag` stops at the first non-flag argument, which cost a run during #59.

**Fail-closed in two places** — an artifact key whose embedded digest does not match the file is refused (publishing an index under the wrong key silently pairs a manifest with the wrong artifact), and `assemble` refuses an artifact with no index rather than publishing a manifest missing a hak.

## Checks

`make check` green. Six new tests run against a Bunny-shaped `httptest` zone that verifies the `Checksum` header the way Bunny does: blobs-then-index ordering, skip-if-present, no index after a failed upload, key/file mismatch, and assemble reading indexes back out of the zone.

Conformance re-run through the new CLI against upstream `nwn_nwsync_write` 2.1.2 over `sow_vfxs_01.hak` (#59's oracle): the manifest is still **byte-identical**.

## Not in this PR

- **Live upload against the real zone.** The nwsync zone and its credential are #61, still open. Everything here is proven against a fake zone only.
- **Consumer wiring** — #65, in the three producer repos.
- **The mid-hak failure *policy*.** The mechanism is here (fail closed, orphan blobs left, re-run resumes); whether a module release may proceed when an emit failed is a human call, still open on #60.

+name: data-driven-design
+description: Use when adding a mode, switch case, config entry, special-cased name, or per-column/per-dataset handler to a tool that processes authored data — or when a tool "knows" a project's layout, dataset names, key prefixes, or format quirks and could not be open sourced as-is.
+---
+
+# Data-Driven Design
+
+The tool implements **general mechanisms**; the data declares **all specific knowledge**. Every time code names a thing that lives in data — a dataset, a column, a format quirk — the tool stops being a tool and becomes a private extension of one project's layout.
+
+**The test:** could this repo be open sourced and build a *different* project's data without code changes? Every hardcoded name, mode, and special case is a "no".
+
+## The two smells
+
+**1. The mode zoo.** A new data shape arrives and you add a named mode plus a switch case:
+
+```yaml
+- {column: AvailableHeadsMale, mode: external_hex_list, hex_width: 3}
+- {column: PreferredAlignments, mode: alignment_set_mask, hex_width: 3}
+- {column: ProficiencyFeats,   mode: id_hex_list,        hex_width: 4}
+```
+
+Three "modes" are one concept — *a set of ids with an engine-side encoding* — wearing three names. Each mode is code the data could have been. The fix is a smaller vocabulary of orthogonal primitives declared where the column is defined:
+
+```json
+"EquipSlots": {"shape": "id_set", "encode": "bitmask", "max": 31}
+```
+
+One parser for `id_set`, one encoder per encoding. Adding the next column is a data edit, zero code. The mode zoo *shrinks*: N special cases collapse into shape × encoding.
+
+**2. Names in code.** `datasetRows("skills")`, `case "skills":`, `TrimPrefix(key, "skills:")` — the tool assumes the project's layout. When data moves (`skills` → `skills/core`), the tool breaks even though the data is self-consistent. Names must flow *from* the data: the spec that references a dataset names it; a key's namespace is whatever precedes its own colon. If code needs a name, some piece of data already knows it — read it from there.
+
+## Deciding
+
+Ask of every constant, case, and config knob: **whose knowledge is this?**
+
+- *The mechanism's* (how to parse JSON, allocate rows, write a table) → code.
+- *The data's* (which columns exist, how the engine encodes them, what things are called) → data, even if code is faster to write today.
+
+Generalize only when it deletes: a primitive that replaces N modes is lazy; a framework "for future shapes" is not. One new shape may take its case *if* the case is spelled as a reusable primitive the next shape can declare.
+
+## Rationalizations
+
+| Excuse | Reality |
+|---|---|
+| "Just follow the existing pattern, it's proven" | The pattern *is* the defect. Each repetition raises the cost of the real fix. |
+| "N cases isn't a crisis yet" | The crisis is per-case: every one couples the tool to one project forever. |
+| "Release is tonight, generalize later" | Later never comes; tonight's mode is tomorrow's baseline. Declaring shape in data is usually the *same* hour of work. |
+| "This name never changes" | Today's rename broke exactly such a name. Data moves; mechanisms shouldn't care. |
+
+## Red flags — stop and re-shape
+
+- A config entry that names both a dataset and a column to select behavior
+- A new value in a `mode`/`kind`/`type` string enum with its own switch arm
+- A literal in code that also appears in the data tree (`"skills"`, `"skills:"`)
+- Per-project constants (row ranges, hex widths, id ceilings) living in Go instead of the dataset that owns them

 ## Tests
 
 Tests must survive harmless changes to constants, defaults, wording, ordering, fixture data, and internal implementation details. A test that fails merely because a basic value changed is usually a bad test. Only assert exact values when the value is part of a documented public contract, external protocol, compatibility requirement, security rule, migration, or business rule.

+# ADR-0001: Markdown in this repo is reference, law, or an ADR — nothing else
+
+- **Status:** Accepted
+- **Date:** 2026-07-24
+- **Origin:** Adopted workspace-wide from `sow-codebase` ADR-0001, which records
+  the full context (a `docs/` tree that had grown to 434 files, ~27MB, most of
+  it dead process artifacts). This repo adopts the same law so the rule is
+  local, not a cross-repo reference.
+
+## Context
+
+Markdown that *claims to describe current state or a plan* rots, because
+reality diverges and nobody edits the file. Markdown that claims neither — a
+dated, immutable decision record, or a standing rule — does not rot.
+
+Two different things get conflated:
+
+- **Rationale** — why a system is shaped the way it is. Worth keeping.
+- **Process artifacts** — plans, specs, concepts, handoffs, trackers. A record
+  of how work happened, not what is true now.
+
+Left unchecked, every completed effort leaves its planning behind and the repo
+accumulates a "historical" pile that agents and humans must route around to
+find the few live docs.
+
+## Decision
+
+Markdown may exist in this repo only as one of three genres:
+
+1. **Current-state reference** — describes what the code does now, kept honest
+   by code review touching it.
+2. **Standing law** — `DOCTRINE.md`, root and folder-scoped `AGENTS.md`,
+   `CONTEXT.md`. States rules and vocabulary, not plans.
+3. **Immutable decision record** — ADRs under `docs/adr/`. Append-only; never
+   edited, only superseded by a later ADR that points back.
+
+Anything else — implementation plans, design specs, concepts, handoffs,
+progress trackers, scratch — is **process** and does not live in the repo. It
+lives in Gitea issues and wayfinder maps, where it can be assigned, closed, and
+superseded. Small tasks need no written plan at all.
+
+Deleting a process document is not destroying history: `git log -- <path>`
+recovers it. The exception is *unfinished intent* (a design never built, an
+open question still wanted) — that is live, not history, and must be harvested
+to a Gitea ticket before its file is deleted. A citation from a living doc or
+from code must be resolved before the cited file is deleted.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- The documentation map lists only current truth; there is no "historical" pile
+  to route around.
+- No agent, under any plugin or skill, writes process-markdown into the repo.
+  The rule is plugin-agnostic on purpose — it binds the agent, not a named tool.
+- History of deleted process docs is in git; unfinished intent is in the issue
+  tracker; rationale is in ADRs and law. Each thing has exactly one home.

+- **Status:** Accepted
+- **Date:** 2026-06-11
+- **Migrated from:** `sow-docs` `07-decisions-log.md` entry **D19**, on the
+  retirement of `sow-docs`. Content is the original decision, unchanged.
+
+- **Decision:** Phase 5 builds `migration/sow-tools` (Crucible, D11) as a
+  multi-binary Go scaffold:
+  - One `crucible` dispatcher plus standalone `crucible-{depot,hak,module,topdata,wiki}`
+    binaries sharing one registry (`internal/dispatch`). The dispatcher is for
+    humans/CI; the **standalone shims are canonical for consumers** so wrapper
+    scripts resolve a single-token command and `"$builder" args` quoting stays
+    correct.
+  - Consumer resolution order: explicit env override
+    (`$SOW_MODULE_BUILD`/`$SOW_TOPDATA_BUILD`/`$CRUCIBLE`) → `crucible-<name>` →
+    legacy `sow-<name>-build`. CI runs inside the pinned `crucible:<sha>` image.
+  - Every builder is **unwired** in the scaffold and fails closed (exit 70);
+    it never fakes an artifact. The `internal/` logic is migrated from
+    `gitea/sow-tools` by the operator at cutover (hard rule: no source
+    transplant by tooling).
+  - **Binaries are never committed** — they are CI artifacts / image layers.
+    Retires the committed `nwn-tool` / `tools/sow-toolkit`.
+  - Builders take `NWN_ROOT` only via explicit env/flag; no `$HOME` defaulting.
+- **Rationale:** Locks the command surface, container, and CI shape so migrated
+  logic drops into a stable frame; aligns the three artifact repos onto one
+  Crucible contract while keeping back-compat with the pre-D11 skeletons.
+- **Image name:** `registry.westgate.pw/deployment/crucible:<git-sha>` (the bare
+  `crucible:<sha>` is the local/dev tag).

+- **Migrated from:** `sow-docs` `07-decisions-log.md` entry **D29**, on the

+- **Decision:** Introduce Nix-built OCI images as an artifact-production option,
+  starting with `sow-tools`/Crucible in server-side CI. `sow-tools` will grow a
+  Nix-built `crucible` package plus `crucible-image`; PR CI builds/smokes it and

+  `registry.westgate.pw/deployment/crucible:<sha>`. `docker/Dockerfile` stays during
+  parity and as the client-compatible fallback.
+- **Local rule:** Nix users may get optional wrappers that provide tools and
+  call the existing Dockerfiles for local Anvil/NWServer testing. A true
+  `nix build .#nwserver-test-image` is explicitly deferred until real
+  `sow-codebase/src` exists and the Dockerfile image is proven.
+- **Rationale:** Server-side image build shape is harder to change once deploy
+  promotion and registry gates are active, so prove Nix image builds before
+  cutover. Crucible is the lowest-risk pilot because it is a Go toolchain image;
+  NodeBB and Anvil/NWServer depend more heavily on upstream container filesystem
+  semantics.
+- **Non-goals:** no source builds in `sow-platform`; no `nix-sidecar` or
+  Kubernetes-style runtime cache layer; no removal of client Dockerfiles.

+- **`docs/adr/`** — read ADRs that touch the area you're about to work in. In multi-context repos, also check `src/<context>/docs/adr/` for context-scoped decisions.
+
+If any of these files don't exist, **proceed silently**. Don't flag their absence; don't suggest creating them upfront. The `/domain-modeling` skill (reached via `/grill-with-docs` and `/improve-codebase-architecture`) creates them lazily when terms or decisions actually get resolved.

+## Use the glossary's vocabulary
+
+When your output names a domain concept (in an issue title, a refactor proposal, a hypothesis, a test name), use the term as defined in `CONTEXT.md`. Don't drift to synonyms the glossary explicitly avoids.
+
+If the concept you need isn't in the glossary yet, that's a signal — either you're inventing language the project doesn't use (reconsider) or there's a real gap (note it for `/domain-modeling`).

+# Issue tracker: Gitea (via tea)
+
+Issues for this repo live in Gitea at `git.westgate.pw`, repo
+`ShadowsOverWestgate/sow-tools`. Use the `tea` CLI for all operations —
+`gh` does not work here. For anything `tea` lacks a subcommand for, use
+`tea api <endpoint>` (Gitea's API mirrors GitHub's closely).
+
+Authenticate with your own `tea` login (`tea login add`); never commit tokens
+or tea config into this repo. Note Gitea blocks self-review, so approving a PR
+needs a different account than the one that opened it.
+
+## Where work lives
+
+Markdown in this repo is **reference, law, or an ADR — nothing else**
+(`sow-codebase` ADR-0001). Four homes, no overlap:
+
+- **Live work** → wayfinder maps + Gitea issues. Closeable, assignable,
+  queryable. Never a markdown file.
+- **Settled decisions** → ADR files in `docs/adr/`. Immutable, findable, never
+  closed, never edited — only superseded by a later ADR pointing back. When an
+  issue ends in a durable decision, write the ADR, then close the issue
+  pointing at it. Decisions spanning repos go to `sow-platform/docs/adr/`.
+- **Standing law** → `DOCTRINE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `CONTEXT.md`. Rules that are
+  always true and vocabulary everyone shares — not the record of one decision.
+- **Current-state reference** → docs describing what the code does now, kept
+  honest by review touching them.
+
+Anything else — implementation plans, design specs, concepts, handoffs,
+progress trackers, scratch — is **process**. It does not live in this repo. It
+lives in a Gitea issue or a wayfinder map, where it can be assigned, closed,
+and superseded. Small tasks need no written plan at all.
+
+Deleting a process doc is not destroying history — `git log -- <path>` recovers
+it. But *unfinished intent* (a design never built, an open question still
+wanted) is live, not history: harvest it to a Gitea issue before deleting.
+
+`sow-docs` is deprecated and read-only. Never add to it, never send work there.
+
+## Which repo gets the issue
+
+Issues follow ownership. File the issue in the repo that **owns the work** —
+see the Repo/Owns/Produces table in the workspace root `AGENTS.md`. Standing
+in one repo is not a reason to file there.
+
+If work spans repos, file it in the repo that owns the *outcome* and reference
+the others from it. A wrong-repo issue is a routing bug, not a filing
+preference — move it.
+
+## Conventions
+
+- **Create an issue**: `tea issues create --title "..." --description "..."`
+- **Read an issue**: `tea issues <number>` and
+  `tea api repos/ShadowsOverWestgate/sow-tools/issues/<number>/comments` for comments.
+- **List issues**: `tea issues list --state open` (add `--labels ...` to filter).
+- **Comment**: `tea comment <number> "..." </dev/null`
+  Always redirect stdin. `tea` reads stdin to EOF and appends it to the body,
+  so any non-interactive shell (every agent) hangs forever without
+  `</dev/null`. Same trap on `tea issues create --description` and
+  `tea pr create`.
+- **Apply / remove labels**: `tea api --method PATCH` on the issue, or
+  `tea api repos/ShadowsOverWestgate/sow-tools/issues/<number>/labels` endpoints.
+- **Close**: `tea issues close <number>`
+
+`tea` infers the repo from the git remote when run inside the clone.
+Gitea shares one number space across issues and PRs.
+
+## Pull requests as a triage surface
+
+**PRs as a request surface: no.**
+
+## When a skill says "publish to the issue tracker"
+
+Create a Gitea issue with `tea issues create`.
+
+## When a skill says "fetch the relevant ticket"
+
+Run `tea issues <number>` plus the comments API call above.
+
+## Wayfinding operations
+
+Used by `/wayfinder`. The **map** is a single issue with **child** issues as tickets.
+
+- **Map**: a single issue labelled `wayfinder:map`, holding the Notes / Decisions-so-far / Fog body. `tea issues create --title "..." --description "..." --labels wayfinder:map`.
+- **Child ticket**: this Gitea instance (v1.27) has no native sub-issue hierarchy, so a child issue carries `Part of #<map>` at the top of its description, and is also added to a task list in the map body. Labels: `wayfinder:<type>` (`research`/`prototype`/`grilling`/`task`). Once claimed, the ticket is assigned to the driving dev.
+- **Blocking**: Gitea's **native dependencies API** — the canonical, UI-visible representation (shows as "Depends on" / "Blocks" on the issue page). Add an edge with `tea api -X POST repos/ShadowsOverWestgate/sow-tools/issues/<child>/dependencies -f owner=ShadowsOverWestgate -f repo=sow-tools -F index=<blocker>`, where `<blocker>` is the blocker's issue **index** (its `#number` — Gitea's dependency API takes the index directly, unlike GitHub's numeric database id). Check status with `tea api repos/ShadowsOverWestgate/sow-tools/issues/<child>/dependencies` (GET) — a ticket is unblocked when every returned issue's `state` is `closed`.
+- **Frontier query**: list the map's open children (`tea issues list --state open`, keep the ones whose description contains `Part of #<map>`), drop any with an open dependency (per the GET above) or an assignee; first in map order wins.
+- **Claim**: `tea issues edit <n> --add-assignees <username>` — the session's first write.
+- **Resolve**: `tea comment <n> "<answer>" </dev/null`, then `tea issues close <n>`, then append a context pointer (gist + link) to the map's Decisions-so-far.

+# Triage Labels
+
+The skills speak in terms of five canonical triage roles. This file maps those roles to the actual label strings used in this repo's issue tracker (Gitea — see `issue-tracker.md` for how to apply labels with `tea`).
+
+| Label in mattpocock/skills | Label in our tracker | Meaning                                  |
+| -------------------------- | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
+| `needs-triage`             | `needs-triage`       | Maintainer needs to evaluate this issue  |
+| `needs-info`               | `needs-info`         | Waiting on reporter for more information |
+| `ready-for-agent`          | `ready-for-agent`    | Fully specified, ready for an AFK agent  |
+| `ready-for-human`          | `ready-for-human`    | Requires human implementation            |
+| `wontfix`                  | `wontfix`            | Will not be actioned                     |
+
+When a skill mentions a role (e.g. "apply the AFK-ready triage label"), use the corresponding label string from this table.
+
+Edit the right-hand column to match whatever vocabulary you actually use.

-`crucible-depot` remains registered but unwired. It fails closed with exit `70`
-and never emits placeholder artifacts.
+`depot status` and `depot get` pick their backend either with `--out DIR`, a
+depot tree on disk, or with `--target bunny|cdn`, a remote backend. The two
+flags are mutually exclusive.
+
+`nwsync emit` runs where an artifact is born (a `.hak`/`.erf`, or a loose file
+such as the TLK); `nwsync assemble` runs at module release and reads only the
+small per-artifact indexes. Both take **depot keys**: an artifact's index lives
+beside the artifact itself with the extension replaced, so `emit` and
+`assemble` agree on where it is without being told.
+
+```
+nwsync emit     [--as NAME] [--out DIR] <artifact-key> <file>
+nwsync assemble --group-id N [--tlk-key KEY] [--out DIR] <artifact-key>...
+```
+
+Both verbs upload by default; nothing bulky is ever written to the runner's
+disk. `--out DIR` writes a local repository tree instead, which is the
+conformance path against upstream `nwn_nwsync_write`. The zone comes from
+`NWSYNC_STORAGE_ZONE` and `NWSYNC_STORAGE_PASSWORD`, with the host from
+`BUNNY_STORAGE_HOST` — NWSync data is a separate zone from the asset depot.
+
+`assemble`'s artifact keys are in `Mod_HakList` order, highest priority first: a
+resref in more than one artifact resolves to the earliest one, the way the game
+resolves it. `--tlk-key` has its own slot because the TLK shadows nothing.
+`--group-id` is per channel — 1 is current, 2 is testing, and 0 leaves the field
+out of the sidecar.
+
+`emit` uploads blobs first and the index last, so the presence of an index is
+the publication marker: an artifact whose emit died halfway leaves real blobs in
+the zone and no index. Blob names are content hashes, so re-running skips
+whatever already landed, and `assemble` fails closed on an artifact with no
+index rather than publishing a manifest that is missing a hak.
