## Problem The custom palette taxonomy (#46) pins display strings to fixed TLK ids in `tlk/custom.tlk.yml`, and `registerInlineAtID` demanded each pinned id be free. But `.tlk_state.json` is **gitignored and per-machine** — each dev grows their own copy, and before #46 every ref got its id dynamically (first-come-first-served). On any machine whose state predates #46, a ref could have already parked on a now-pinned id. That fails the build: ``` topdata validation failed with 1 error(s): error: native topdata buildability check failed: TLK id 2689 is already reserved by "feat:yuanti/alternate_form.feat" ``` It only passes on machines whose state was regenerated after #46 (pinned window already clean). The `allocateID` reserved-skip that #46 added protects a *fresh* build, but does nothing about a *stale cache*. ## Fix Make the pin authoritative over the per-machine cache. A stale cached owner sitting on a pinned id is evicted and reallocated a fresh id when next made active; only two pins fighting over the same id in `custom.tlk.yml` is now an error. This self-heals on the next build — no manual `.tlk_state.json` deletion needed. Caveat: the evicted ref's strref shifts on affected machines. That's unavoidable (something must move off the pinned id), and dynamic strrefs were never stable across machines anyway. ## Tests Added `TestBuildStandaloneTLKPinEvictsStaleStateOwner` (seeds a pre-#46 state with a feat parked on the pinned id, asserts the build succeeds, the pin owns it, and the feat is reallocated). Full `internal/topdata` suite + `go vet` pass. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)Reviewed-on: #48 Reviewed-by: xtul <mpiasecki720@protonmail.com> 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.
Repos produce artifacts. sow-platform deploys artifacts.
Crucible is how the artifact repos turn source into artifacts.

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.
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). 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 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:
./crucible # interactive menu (pick a command)
./crucible module build
./crucible topdata validate
Windows (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:
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 av*tag, cross-build and upload the binaries,SHA256SUMS, and the wrappers to the Gitea release.sync-wrappers.yml— on amainpush that toucheswrappers/, auto-PR the canonical wrappers to the consumer repos inwrappers/consumers.txt. Consumer drift checks run after those PRs merge tomain, 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.
