documentation/how-to-build-mobile-apps-from-plugins/README.md explains why Deep Research
(doxa-maps-spa, its app preset) is the plugin to wrap first: the seven production maps in one
phone-ready shell, token-free on MapLibre. It then walks the whole path: tools, the wiring check,
one command, what each step does, another plugin as the app, making it your own, and fixes.
The one command needed two small changes; the default app is unchanged:
- internal/set-app-start-page.mjs takes APP_START=<plugin>/<screen>[/<preset>] and opens that page
instead of the UPG-100 list. Unset, it behaves and marks the page exactly as before. A malformed
value, a page missing from the build, or links that would not resolve are refused, as before.
- package.json: phone:from-tree is sync, start page, verify, assemble, install from the committed
tree, with no full rebuild (bun run build refuses without BUILD_ALLOW=1).
phone:deep-research is phone:from-tree with Deep Research as the start page.
how-to.md links the guide, and two of its lines are corrected: webDir is public/dx-maps/, and
apk:debug's first step is the full build, which asks for BUILD_ALLOW=1.
Checked, with no Android tools: the start page written for doxa-maps-spa/doxa-maps-spa/app, then
the app root served and loaded in the shared browser at 390 and 1280. It showed the gallery
element, 15 tabs (the seven maps and the experimental ones) and a drawn map, with 0 console errors
and 0 failed requests. --check passed for APP_START and failed for the default until it was
restored; the default run still writes the UPG-100 page with its original marker. The Gradle and
adb steps are those bun run phone already uses; they were not run here.
A fresh reader given only the README and HOWTO-join-the-table got through install, bun run dev and
the Studio. One gap: no address for a single plugin's page. The Capability 1 fold says each plugin's
folder holds "an index.html for previewing it", which reads as /plugin-designs/<plugin>/index.html,
and that 404s under bun run dev. The page is /__leaf/<plugin>/<profile>, and the Studio's list is
/__plugin-gallery/manifest.json. Both are now named.
Three smaller notes from the same reader:
- the README copied .env.example to .env while the HOWTO uses .env.local. Both work and .env.local
wins; the README now uses .env.local too, which also keeps .env free for compose.yaml;
- the Mapbox token read as required; it is one of two ways to get a background;
- the 8090 port hint (DX_PB_PORT) was only in the HOWTO; it is now named where the README first
mentions PocketBase.
Also, the engine rule (was a follow-up commit, f0e965e4d):
Since 2026-09-28 useMapProvider.js resolves `auto` to MapLibre, and Mapbox is an explicit choice:
"provider": "mapbox" plus a token. The docs still said "Mapbox when a token is available":
- README's map-engines row;
- how-to.md's provider section;
- the plugin-designer skill's props table, which even says to confirm in useMapProvider.js.
All three now state the current rule. So do four lines that told readers to set provider maplibre to
avoid needing a key: README's Get it running and its "No token" fold, .env.example's token comment,
and reference.md's no-key row.
Case-insensitive git grep "Mapbox when a token" over README.md, documentation/ and skills/: 3 before, 0 after.
Comments and prose only, no code change (DECOUPLE-go-base-mentions.md sections B and C, outside
library/ and README.md): stack-demo's page-flow note becomes 'a normal host page', the share-link
and CORS comments say 'the live test host', embeddability.md's Traefik note says 'a self-hosted
reverse proxy' and drops the internal proxy file path, and how-to's hosting option becomes 'a Git
host you run (for example Forgejo)'. stack-demo.vue's @description feeds the generated tree, so the
landing regenerates the tree. Section A (QA widget), library/ and package.json are left to studio.
From exp-shepherd's web-boundaries report, checked against main (afb34488): no file in dx-maps/ is
content-hashed today, so everything takes public, max-age=86400, stale-while-revalidate=604800
with an ETag, and immutable only once names are hashed. The boundary file is 1,866 KB raw / 597 KB
gzipped (measured); the smaller -web copies are not on main yet, so not cited. Script embeds need
ACAO * because every embed.script carries integrity + crossorigin=anonymous. The first-paint
figures are rega's cold loads of the UPG-100 list (9.5-16.5 s) and studio's bundle/engine split.
The list table is generated from library/lists/lists.json on main (ids, aliases, labels, default
doxa), and the behaviour from peopleGroupList.js: Tier A shows the DOXA groups in the list, an
unknown list falls back with a warning, a membership file that cannot load shows no groups. The
header toggle is from plugin-studio.vue (setHeaderHidden, remembered in localStorage). The CSP
section was already accurate: check:no-eval and check:cdn-pins exist, and cdn.js pins exactly
cdn.jsdelivr.net and api.mapbox.com.
vue-i18n's default message compiler builds every message with `new Function`, so 20 of 25 bundles needed
'unsafe-eval' and a partner with a strict Content-Security-Policy got no translated text (CRITIC-4).
vite.config.js defines __INTLIFY_JIT_COMPILATION__ (vue-i18n 9.14: messages compile to an AST, no eval),
and the bundler drops the eval path: rebuilt doxa-simple-map carries 0 `new Function` (1 before).
check:no-eval (gates:post): no built bundle contains new Function / eval, and vue-i18n in JIT mode renders
real en/ar catalogue messages with Function and eval blocked. documentation/how-to.md lists the CSP an
embedding page needs (style-src 'unsafe-inline' for the shadow <style>, worker-src blob:, tile hosts).
From the critic's SRI check. how-to's embed section had no word on it; the CLI section said the
hash changes on every build, which is only true when the bundle's bytes change.
- Deployment is now organised around what the build makes: (1) one web
folder (536 files, 76 MiB), embedded by iframe and JavaScript (proven) and
WordPress (just for fun); (2) the mobile app (Capacitor, built); (3) the
desktop app (Tauri, proof of concept). A hosting table says where the folder
can go: dx-life's public/, Cloudflare Pages drag-and-drop (fits its 1,000-file
/ 25 MiB limits), GitHub + jsDelivr (JS embeds only: measured, jsDelivr serves
HTML as text/plain), or any web server, with the one _headers line JS embeds
need. No Docker. The diagram and the map-cruncher picture say three outputs.
- Languages: 11 locales via ?lang=, Arabic right to left, with an Arabic shot of
UPG-100 (Big Picture still leaks English in Arabic; reported). The partner
profile-config locale is deliberately not documented until it is fixed.
- check-shot-freshness and check-shot-distinctness parsed only '...' paths, so
after 44ef31b2 turned them into `/${TREE_NAME}/...` templates they saw 2 of 26
shots: distinctness failed, freshness passed vacuously and hid 22 stale shots.
Both now accept either form and resolve TREE_NAME, and exit 75 (NOT MEASURED)
unless every `await shot(` call is parsed (the one dynamic dx-life call is
marked). Negative-tested. The 22 shots are retaken and checked by eye.
- how-to: the shell no longer overwrites the Studio (it now lives in the output
folder); README serve line points at doxa-maps/index.html.
- Docs follow the rename to dx-maps (09014f8a): every output-folder path and URL in
README, how-to, reference, CONTRIBUTING, the CLI section and the develop guide now says
public/dx-maps/. The repo name, the config file name, the WordPress plugin folder and
the doxa-* tag names are unchanged (tags are a separate landing).
- Hosting: a live example, the dx-life branch research-gallery, which drops the folder
into dx-life public/ and fills /research with the Research Gallery.
Checkpointing thirteen files of agent work that were sitting uncommitted while three
agents wrote to a live tree the Driver was watching through hot reload. Uncommitted work
is work at risk, and a tree being edited under an observer oscillates between states that
look like regressions and are really just partial saves.
The second capability-5 shell now mounts its tabs as real elements too, so no iframe
remains in either shell. It was the last holdout: eight tabs, all iframe mode, each
pointing at a hardcoded built-tree leaf that does not exist under the dev server.
The facet rail keeps its shape when a filter narrows it. Selecting one place took the
rail from sixty-six rows to twenty-one — forty-six rows deleted, none dimmed — so the row
a user was about to click vanished under the cursor, which is what "the buttons went
dead" actually was. Rows whose count falls to zero are now re-admitted at their original
slot and depth, dimmed and inert, which also restores the component's own promise to lose
nothing against the tree it replaced.
Expanding a branch and filtering by it are now separate, visible affordances: the whole
row filters, and expand is a real button with its own hit area and label. Rows that were
never clickable are unmistakably inert rather than silently ignored.
Three more facet axes reach the grid — affinity bloc, engagement status and primary
language — each verified to share a field with an existing prop rather than being mapped
on name resemblance. Two derived facets remain unmapped on purpose: they have no matching
row field, and mapping them would filter confidently to the wrong rows.
Driver 2026-09-21: 'a folder called deployment which will store the capacitor
folder, wordpress folder and tauri folder', and 'a folder called documentation
to store the contributing folder so docs are in one place'.
docs/ + contributing/ + CONTRIBUTING.md -> documentation/ (three doc homes into
one). capacitor/ + wordpress/ + src-tauri/ -> deployment/.
The public/ -> dist/ rename the Driver asked about is NOT here: after seeing the
measured blast radius (855 tracked files, 54 source refs, and public/ is the
served web-root four consumers point at) the Driver withdrew it - 'keep the
public folder the same'.
Path references were rewritten mechanically (258 across 87 files), but three
classes needed hand fixes because a prefix regex cannot see them:
- join(ROOT,'docs',...) in 10 internal scripts - a quoted SEGMENT, not a prefix
- tauri frontendDist '../public' -> '../../public', since src-tauri is now one
level deeper; check:tauri caught this exactly as the card predicted
- the WordPress contract test's dirname(__DIR__,2) -> 3, same reason
Also reverted one over-reach: the rewrite renamed a FINDING-CATEGORY label
'docs' in public-hygiene-check.mjs, which is a rule name in its own header, not
a path.
Verified: full build ALL GUARDS PASS, SRI consistent; check:tauri, check:mobile
(cap sync + webDir OK), check:wp-embed, quoted-scripts, capability-citations,
capability-exemplars, library-index, public-hygiene, parse and drop all pass.
