feat(nwsync): emit blobs in parallel with a bounded worker pool (#80)
Closes #79.

Emit is latency-bound, not CPU-bound. Every blob costs two serial round-trips to the zone — a `ProbeKey` HEAD, then a `PutReader` PUT — so a hak with a few thousand resources pays a few thousand serialised latencies. Measured on the live sow-assets-manifest backfill: 26 s of CPU across 9.5 minutes of wall clock, on a 4-core host with 5 GB free and peak RSS of 51 MB.

`emit` now hashes, compresses and stores `--jobs N` resources at once, default 16 — matching `DEPOT_JOBS` and the transport's `MaxIdleConnsPerHost`, so a worker per connection needs no fresh TLS handshake. `--jobs 1` is exactly the old behaviour.

### Three properties had to survive

Each has a test in `internal/nwsync/jobs_test.go`:

- **Deterministic manifest bytes.** `emitterVersion` promises a manifest is a function of its artifact, so `entries` is index-addressed rather than appended to — a worker owns `entries[i]` alone and the slice comes back in artifact order whatever order uploads finish in. `TestEmitProducesTheSameIndexAtEveryJobCount` diffs the `.nsym` and its sidecar between `-jobs 1` and `-jobs 16`.
- **Index still lands last.** Any worker's failure aborts before a manifest is written. `TestEmitLeavesNoIndexWhenAParallelUploadFails` fails every blob PUT with 16 workers in flight and asserts no `.nsym` appears. Under `-race` it also covers the shared counters.
- **Identical content still shares one blob.** This one bit during development and is the reason to read the diff carefully: serially, the sink's existence check absorbed two resrefs with identical bytes. In parallel both workers probe, both miss, and both upload — `TestEmitWritesBlobsAndManifest` caught it as "wrote 2 blobs, want 1". Claiming the sha1 in-process restores the dedupe and skips a probe round-trip as well.

### Memory

Peak now tracks the resources in flight rather than one resource. The ceiling is `N` × the 15 MB `fileSizeLimit` plus its compressed copy — bounded by a constant this package enforces itself, and still not tracking the archive. `TestEmitPeakMemoryIsBoundedByJobCount` re-runs the #76 regression check at `-jobs 8`: a hak 8× bigger still costs the same.

This is only cheap because of #78. Before streaming emit, N workers would have meant N whole archives resident.

### Not done

Skipping the `ProbeKey` HEAD on a first-time emit would halve round-trips, but doubles uploaded bytes on a re-run — which is exactly what a backfill is. Noted in #79 so it is not rediscovered; parallelism is the better lever and this PR takes it.

Worker compression still serialises on `blobEncoder`, which is `WithEncoderConcurrency(1)` for the memory reason in `compressedbuf.go`. At 26 s of CPU per hak that is not worth trading memory for, but it is where to look if the numbers ever say otherwise.

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.

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.

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 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.
