Builds sow-tools#53. Format spec followed is the resolution comment of sow-platform#94, checked line by line against niv/neverwinter.nim at HEAD (`nwsync.nim`, `compressedbuf.nim`, `nwsync/private/libupdate.nim`). ## What lands `crucible nwsync emit <artifact> --out DIR` — explodes one `.hak`/`.erf`, or one loose file such as the TLK, into NWSync blobs plus a NSYM v3 manifest covering only that artifact, with the same `.json` sidecar upstream writes. Blob path `data/sha1/<h0h1>/<h2h3>/<sha1>`, body in NWCompressedBuffer framing (magic `NSYC`, version 3, algorithm 2, uncompressed size, zstd header version 1, dictionary 0, raw zstd frame). The sha1 that names a blob is over the uncompressed bytes. `crucible nwsync assemble --order NAMES --entries DIR --out DIR [--group-id N]` — merges the per-artifact manifests into one, reading no bulk data at all. Merge rule is resref shadowing, not concatenation: a resref in more than one artifact resolves to the earliest artifact in `--order`, which is how the game resolves it. `--group-id` stays caller-supplied (1 current, 2 testing; 0 is absent, matching upstream omitting a zero integer meta field). Rules taken from upstream and not re-invented: `nss`/`ndb`/`gic` always skipped; an unresolvable restype is a hard error, not a skip; a resource over 15 MB fails closed; no `latest` file and no `.origin` file, ever. A `.mod` is refused outright — a persistent world publishes no module contents, so the module contributes no bytes. ## Two deliberate departures - **Emitter version is its own field, not the build revision.** `emitter_version` is a constant bumped only when emitted bytes change. Keying the refuse-to-merge check on `created_with` would invalidate every published index on every unrelated crucible commit and force a re-emit of the whole 15 GB corpus — the opposite of "nothing downstream ever needs the hak again". - **`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` pins the sidecar timestamp.** The manifest itself was already deterministic; the sidecar's `created` was not, against the determinism rule in `docs/consumer-contract.md`. ## Not in this PR, and why - **Direct upload.** Only the local `--out` sink exists, which is the conformance path. The upload sink and the mid-hak-failure question are sow-tools#60, and the consumer wiring is #65. - **The conformance run against upstream.** sow-tools#59 owns getting `nwn_nwsync_write` running and capturing reference output. The format here was read from upstream source rather than from its output, so the byte-for-byte manifest comparison and the after-decompression blob comparison still have to happen — that is what #59 is for. The tests in this PR check the layout against the spec, so a shared misreading would pass them. - **The `artifacts/haks/sha256/<a>/<b>/<sha256>.nsym` location.** emit writes `<out>/<name>.nsym`; where a publisher puts it is the publisher's business (#65). - **The acceptance gate** — a real client syncing from an assembled manifest — is unchanged and still open. ## Checks `make check` green (vet, unit tests, shellcheck, yamllint, workflow contract), `make smoke` green with the new builder, `nix build .#crucible` produces `crucible-nwsync`. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)Reviewed-on: #71 Co-authored-by: vickydotbat <vickydotbat@tutamail.com>

# sow-tools — Crucible
|
|
|
|
Crucible is the Shadows Over Westgate build/conversion/sync toolchain: one Go
|
|
module producing several small binaries plus a `crucible` dispatcher (D11). It is
|
|
the **only** repo that owns builder logic; the artifact repos (`sow-module`,
|
|
`sow-topdata`, `sow-assets-manifest`) invoke Crucible through wrapper scripts and
|
|
never embed a toolkit.
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Repos produce artifacts. sow-platform deploys artifacts.
|
|
Crucible is how the artifact repos turn source into artifacts.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Binaries
|
|
|
|
| Binary | Dispatcher form | Owns |
|
|
| ------------------ | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `crucible` | — | dispatcher: `crucible <builder> [args]` |
|
|
| `crucible-depot` | `crucible depot` | content-addressed depot blob verify/move |
|
|
| `crucible-hak` | `crucible hak` | ERF/HAK pack/unpack + hak manifests |
|
|
| `crucible-module` | `crucible module` | build/extract/validate/compare the `.mod` |
|
|
| `crucible-nwsync` | `crucible nwsync` | NWSync blob emit + manifest assemble |
|
|
| `crucible-topdata` | `crucible topdata` | compile 2da/tlk topdata + packages |
|
|
| `crucible-wiki` | `crucible wiki` | render + deploy mechanical wiki pages |
|
|
|
|
The dispatcher and the standalone shims share one registry
|
|
(`internal/dispatch`); the shims exist so consumer wrapper scripts can resolve a
|
|
single-token command. The full legacy `nwn-tool` command surface and where each
|
|
command lands is mapped in [`docs/command-surface.md`](docs/command-surface.md).
|
|
|
|
## Status (cutover performed)
|
|
|
|
The internal `app`/`pipeline`/`project`/`erf`/`gff`/`topdata`/`changelog`/
|
|
`validator` packages from `gitea/sow-tools` have been migrated into this tree, and
|
|
the `module`, `topdata`, `hak`, and `wiki` builders now **delegate to the migrated
|
|
`nwn-tool` command surface** (mapped in
|
|
[`docs/command-surface.md`](docs/command-surface.md)). `config` and `changelog`
|
|
are global commands on the dispatcher. `depot` has no migrated logic yet, so it
|
|
keeps the fail-closed path: exit `70`, never a faked artifact.
|
|
|
|
See [`docs/migration-from-nwn-tool.md`](docs/migration-from-nwn-tool.md) for what
|
|
was done and what remains (the consumer `--manifest/--source/--out` flag contract
|
|
is the open Phase-6 item).
|
|
|
|
## Quick start (no Nix)
|
|
|
|
Teammates without Nix don't build anything — they run the bootstrap wrapper,
|
|
which downloads the latest released `crucible` for your OS and runs it:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./crucible # interactive menu (pick a command)
|
|
./crucible module build
|
|
./crucible topdata validate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Windows (PowerShell):
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
.\crucible.ps1 module build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The binary is cached under `~/.cache/crucible/<version>/` (`%LOCALAPPDATA%\crucible`
|
|
on Windows); `--repo-local` caches inside the repo instead. Private releases:
|
|
set `CRUCIBLE_TOKEN` or write the token to `~/.config/crucible/token`.
|
|
|
|
## Develop
|
|
|
|
Self-contained (D8) — a host with only Nix can run everything:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nix develop # Go + shellcheck + yamllint + make
|
|
make check # go vet + go test + shellcheck + yamllint
|
|
make build # build every cmd/* into ./bin (gitignored)
|
|
make smoke # build + assert the fail-closed contract
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Binaries are **never committed** — they are CI artifacts (D19).
|
|
This retires the old habit of checking in `nwn-tool` / `sow-toolkit`.
|
|
|
|
## CI
|
|
|
|
PR-first (D7): checks run once on pull requests; the only publish event is a
|
|
`v*` tag (see `runbooks/ci-trigger-standard.md` in sow-docs,
|
|
https://git.westgate.pw/ShadowsOverWestgate/sow-docs).
|
|
|
|
- `ci.yml` — vet, test, shellcheck, yamllint, binary smoke, and cross-build all
|
|
targets once per pull request.
|
|
- `build-binaries.yml` — on a `v*` tag, cross-build and upload the binaries,
|
|
`SHA256SUMS`, and the wrappers to the Gitea release, then delete the assets
|
|
of every release except the newest two — Gitea keeps them forever otherwise,
|
|
and every binary is reproducible from its tag.
|
|
- `sync-wrappers.yml` — on a `main` push that touches `wrappers/`, auto-PR the
|
|
canonical wrappers to the consumer repos in `wrappers/consumers.txt`.
|
|
Consumer drift checks run after those PRs merge to `main`, not on the PRs
|
|
themselves, to avoid recursive cross-repo checks.
|
|
|
|
## Consumers
|
|
|
|
How the artifact repos resolve a Crucible binary is
|
|
documented in [`docs/consumer-contract.md`](docs/consumer-contract.md).
