Ports frontend/ (Jinja2/FastAPI, ~1180 LOC) to Go with html/template. No
climate math, no DB, no auth -- every route fetches from the backend's
/content/* API.
Verified with a golden-HTML diff, not just unit tests: both the Python
original and the Go rewrite were run against the same committed fixtures
and every route compared byte-for-byte, confirmed programmatically. That
process caught defects unit tests alone missed, since map[string]any has
no compile-time field check:
- Render-context keys were snake_case throughout while the templates read
PascalCase fields. A missing map key doesn't error, it silently renders
empty -- title, meta description, canonical URL, OpenGraph tags, and the
homepage's entire ranked list were blank on every page despite every
route returning 200. Fixed by renaming every key to match each
template's own documented field contract, and passing API structs
straight through wherever their fields already matched (removes a whole
layer of future drift risk).
- Three pages 500'd: ToolHref needed a composed href, not a bare
"lat,lon" fragment; the records table needed the raw API struct.
- JSON-LD was double-encoded: <script type="application/ld+json"> is
JAVASCRIPT context to html/template's escaper regardless of the
script's type attribute, so template.HTML gets re-escaped as a quoted
JS string. Needed template.JS. The glossary term page's JSON-LD was
never built at all -- added.
- html/template silently strips literal HTML and JS comments from parsed
output (verified in isolation) -- both need a FuncMap function
returning template.HTML/template.JS to survive.
Packaging: 187MB -> 22.6MB. Two defects caught before reaching a host: the
Swarm stack's entrypoint override with no explicit command drops the
image's CMD entirely (every deploy would have exited 127), and
COPY --chown by name fails under the classic Docker builder on Alpine.
Both fixed.
go build/vet/test -race clean; docker build passes its embedded test step
under both BuildKit and the classic builder; shellcheck 0 findings.
One root workflow set replaces the four repos' copies (deleted -- root-only
is where Forgejo reads them, and dead copies are a trap): per-domain
build-push with explicit image paths (emi/thermograph/backend|frontend; the
old github.repository-derived path collides in a monorepo), path-filtered
per-domain beta/prod/dev deploys, a domain-input reusable build check, a
single always-reporting PR gate (path-filtered required checks deadlock
auto-merge), a new infra-sync pipeline (host checkout + secrets render on
infra/** pushes), and ports of secrets-guard / ops-cron /
observability-validate to monorepo paths.
