archvillainette 0de1c1e280 feat(nwsync): emit blobs and per-artifact NSYM, assemble merged manifests
Adds `crucible nwsync emit` and `crucible nwsync assemble`, the split
replacement for upstream nwn_nwsync_write, which cannot be used because it
wants every hak, the TLK and the module present in one run on one disk.

emit explodes one artifact — a .hak/.erf or a loose file such as the TLK —
into NWSync blobs (NWCompressedBuffer framing, magic NSYC, zstd) plus a NSYM
v3 manifest describing only that artifact, with the same .json sidecar
upstream writes. Blob names are the sha1 of the uncompressed bytes, restypes
nss/ndb/gic are always skipped, an unresolvable restype is a hard error, a
resource over 15 MB fails closed, and no latest or .origin file is ever
written.

assemble merges the per-artifact manifests into one, reading no bulk data.
The merge rule is resref shadowing, not concatenation: a resref present in
more than one artifact resolves to the earliest artifact in --order, the way
the game resolves it. It refuses to merge across mismatched emitter versions,
and takes --group-id from the caller (1 current, 2 testing; 0 is absent).

Crucible command surface

internal/dispatch.Registry is the single source of truth for Crucible's builders, visible commands, descriptions, help, and hidden compatibility aliases.

Visible commands

Builder Command Purpose
hak build Build configured HAK archives and their manifest.
hak manifest Apply a generated HAK list to module source.
module build Build the module and configured project outputs.
module extract Extract built archives into configured source trees.
module validate Validate project layout, config, and source inventory.
module compare Compare source content with built archives.
module manifest Apply a generated HAK list to module source.
topdata validate Validate topdata source and canonical JSON compatibility.
topdata build Compile topdata and refresh the configured package.
topdata package Package cached outputs into HAK and TLK files.
topdata compare Compare current output with a fresh native build.
topdata convert Convert between 2DA and native JSON/module formats.
wiki build Render wiki page drafts from compiled topdata.
wiki deploy Deploy generated wiki pages to NodeBB.
assets compile Compile ASCII .mdl models to binary in place.
assets convert Convert textures to/from NWN DDS (flips vertically).
assets upscale Upscale textures through an installed backend.
assets check-mdl Report uncompiled ASCII .mdl and model-name mismatches.
assets fix-mdl Lowercase .mdl names and rewrite model identity to match.
assets check-dupes Report runtime-name (basename) collisions across dirs.
assets clean-dupes Delete clean-tree files whose basename collides with primary.
depot status Report referenced-vs-present drift against a backend.
depot push Upload referenced-but-absent blobs from a local depot.
depot verify Existence sweep plus sampled download re-hash.
depot get Fetch one blob with sha re-verify.
depot pull Incremental verified pull of every referenced blob.
nwsync emit Explode one artifact into NWSync blobs plus its own NSYM manifest.
nwsync assemble Merge per-artifact NSYM manifests into one merged manifest.

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 manifests. --order lists artifact names highest priority first: a resref in more than one artifact resolves to the earliest one, the way the game resolves it. --group-id is per channel — 1 is current, 2 is testing, and 0 leaves the field out of the sidecar.

Hidden compatibility aliases

Existing scripts may continue using these names indefinitely. They are accepted but omitted from routine help and the interactive menu:

Builder Hidden alias Implementation
hak build-haks build-haks
hak apply-hak-manifest apply-hak-manifest
module build-module module-only build-module
module apply-hak-manifest apply-hak-manifest
topdata validate-topdata validate-topdata
topdata build-topdata build-topdata
topdata build-top-package build-top-package
topdata compare-topdata compare-topdata
topdata convert-topdata convert-topdata
depot --target local --out $DEPOT_DIR on status/get
wiki build-wiki build-wiki
wiki deploy-wiki deploy-wiki

module build-module deliberately retains its narrower module-only behavior; it is not redirected to the broader module build.

Global commands

crucible help | -h          usage + builder list
crucible version | -V       build version
crucible list               name<TAB>binary<TAB>summary
crucible config [args]      inspect and validate effective configuration
crucible changelog [args]   generate a release changelog

HAK build options

crucible hak build
  [--hak <hak-name> ...]
  [--archive <archive-name> ...]
  [--source-manifest <path>]
  [--content-addressed-root <path>]
  [--plan-only]
  [--quiet|--verbose|--debug]

When a source manifest contains asset_sources, pass --content-addressed-root <directory>. Crucible resolves each declared SHA-256 under sha256/<first-two>/<next-two>/<full-sha256> and verifies streamed bytes while writing selected HAK archives. Authored .bmu files are ordinary assets and require no conversion pipeline.
