The ipx Dockerfile built its dependencies in a layer of stub crates,
which any change to Cargo.toml or Cargo.lock invalidated: all of them
compiled again in release, 405 crates, 170 s at the builder's cap. The
directory's had no such layer and compiled everything every time. Both
now build with cargo's registry and target/ as BuildKit cache mounts.
Measured on Tower: a Cargo.toml change rebuilds three crates in 52 s
instead of 405 in 170 s. The peak is about the same, since the ipx
crate itself is most of it; what goes is the minutes at the cap.

The page and the service worker were strict TypeScript; the tests, the
build, the home page's generator, the load tests, boot.js and the
directory's site.js were plain JavaScript that nothing checked. All of
it is TypeScript now, in five programs, each with its own globals, all
checked by npm run typecheck: the page (tsconfig.json, with boot.ts and
the directory's site.ts), the worker, Node's (tsconfig.tools.json: the
Node tests, the browser suite, the build, the site generator, the load
harness), and k6's (tsconfig.k6.json, with @types/k6).
Node 24 runs the .ts files by stripping their types, so they hold only
TypeScript that erases (erasableSyntaxOnly) and import each other by
.ts name; package.json says "type": "module" for it, and Dockerfile.web
moves to Node 24 to run build.mts. k6 2.3 strips its scripts' types
itself.
The browser suite's page.evaluate calls reach the page's globals; the
page's tsc run now also writes its declarations to target/page-types,
which the suite's program includes, so those calls are typed by the
page's own code rather than by hand-written copies.
boot.ts is compiled by build.mts with swc, as the worker is, and named
by the hash of what is served. The directory's build has no Node, so
site.js is compiled from site.ts and committed (node web/build.mts
--directory-script), and tests/directory-script.ts fails if they drift.
Checked: the site generator's 139 pages are byte for byte what the
JavaScript made; the page build's app.js is identical and only boot.js
(now minified) and its hash differ; contrast, page-smoke, page-unit,
native-bridge, the browser suite (96 passed, 2 skipped) and the
directory's and ipx's Rust tests pass; k6 parses each load script. The
load tests themselves did not run: they build a release binary outside
the capped builder. .agents/skills/security-audit is an installed
skill's, not ours, and is left as it is.

The directory renders its own pages from the store: the most subscribed, categories, A to Z,
search, and a page per feed with its address and a Copy button. No token, nothing that writes; /v1
keeps its token check. The publisher's HTML is shown as text, item links only when http(s), with
a strict Content-Security-Policy; covers load from their publishers with no referrer.

A new crate and service, crates/directory, live at ipx-dir.sdf1.net. ipx
servers send the public feeds their people subscribe to (POST /v1/snapshot,
replacing what that token sent before); the directory fetches each feed's
title, artwork, category, description and latest twenty items every six
hours with ipx-feed, and lists them A to Z and by subscribers summed over
every server. It holds metadata only, never a file or a file's address.
Tokens are in its config file as SHA-256 hashes, each ro, rw or rwa, and
the file is read again within a minute of a change, so adding and revoking
one is an edit and nothing else; a revoked token takes its server's counts.
At first they were to come from environment variables, which would have
meant recreating the container to add one. A file that does not load keeps
the tokens as they were.
Every address sent is checked with ipx_feed::url_looks_private, the check
ipx makes before sending, so one server's miss does not publish a paid feed
to every other; an rwa token can remove and block what both miss.
Deployed: ipx-directory in the ipx Arcane project, database ipx_directory
(its own login) on the databases project's Postgres, which db-backup
already covers, and a tunnel route with no Access in front. The store's
tests run on Postgres as well as SQLite when IPX_TEST_DATABASE_URL is set.
