The runtime stylesheet moves to CONFIG_DIR. static/tailwind.min.css is never written again.
━━━ TWO DIFFERENT THINGS WERE SHARING ONE PATH ━━━
static/tailwind.min.css a BUILD ARTEFACT. Committed, image-baked, generated by scanning
the in-tree plugins only. CI's tailwind-fresh check verifies it.
the RUNTIME sheet PER-INSTALL STATE. Additionally scans whatever the user installed
into FEEDBACK_PLUGINS_DIR, so it differs machine to machine.
Writing the second over the first meant that MERELY RUNNING THE DEV SERVER from a git checkout
silently modified a tracked file. `git add -A` then swept a 100KB reshuffle of minified CSS
into the commit and ci/tailwind-fresh went red with a diff that explains nothing — on a PR
whose real change touched no Tailwind classes at all. It also wrote app state into the app
directory, which is read-only in some deploys.
A new route serves the runtime sheet when there is one and falls back to the committed one
otherwise. It is registered BEFORE the /static mount, which would otherwise swallow the path.
━━━ A PERSISTED SHEET MUST NOT OUTLIVE ITS REASON (Codex [P2] x2) ━━━
1. THE USER REMOVES THEIR PLUGINS. Startup only rebuilds when user plugins exist, so nothing
would ever overwrite the stale sheet — and it still carries classes for plugins that are
gone. With no user plugins the COMMITTED sheet is complete by definition. Guarded.
2. THE APP IS UPGRADED, and my first guard for this was WRONG. I compared mtimes. Codex: that
is not a freshness signal across install methods — archives and container images routinely
PRESERVE SOURCE MTIMES, so a just-shipped stylesheet can carry an OLDER timestamp than a
runtime sheet a user built days ago. The mtime check then calls the stale one FRESH and it
masks the new core CSS indefinitely — permanently, if no Tailwind toolchain is present to
trigger a rebuild.
Freshness is decided by CONTENT now. Each runtime build stamps a sidecar with the sha256 of
the committed sheet it was made from. Core ships new CSS -> that file changes -> the hash
changes -> the runtime sheet is correctly judged stale. Timestamps only gesture at the
question that hashing answers.
Falling back to the committed sheet is always safe: at worst it lacks a just-installed plugin's
classes for the seconds until the async rebuild lands.
VERIFIED END TO END. Ran the real dev server with 3 plugins installed: it rebuilt Tailwind over
them (123,291 bytes), wrote the sheet + sidecar to CONFIG_DIR, still served /static/
tailwind.min.css at 200 — and `git diff` on the tracked file came back CLEAN.
8 tests. Bite-tested: reverting to the shared path fails 3, dropping the staleness guards fails
2 more.

* Update GitHub repo references from feedback* to feedBack*
* rename: slopsmith -> feedBack, byron -> got-feedBack
Renames across the entire codebase:
- slopsmith/Slopsmith/SLOPSMITH/SlopSmith -> feedBack/FeedBack/FEEDBACK/FeedBack
- byron/Byron/Byrongamatos -> got-feedBack/got-feedBack/got-feedBack
- /home/byron/ -> /opt/got-feedBack/
- byron@ougsoft.com -> hi@got-feedBack.org
- github.com/byrongamatos/ -> github.com/got-feedback/
- com.byron. -> com.got-feedback.
- SLOPSMITH_ env vars -> FEEDBACK_ with backward-compat fallback
- Protocol/storage strings migrated with read-old/write-new pattern
- window.slopsmith JS API -> window.feedBack (canonical) + backward-compat alias
Refs: #rename-slopsmith
* rename: complete regen against current main + fix backward-compat alias
Regenerated the slopsmith->feedBack / byron->got-feedBack rename on top of
current main (3 commits had landed since the branch: #572/#554/#574),
resolving the four content conflicts in favour of main's newer content
(autoplay/auto-exit, accuracy-badge, Virtuoso re-home, feedpak badge).
Completion fixes on top of the mechanical rename:
- Re-apply rename to post-branch content the original rename never saw:
window.slopsmith(.Tour) consumers in lessons.js / notifications.js /
onboarding-tour.js, and the matching JS + python tests (autoplay_exit,
progression_*, test_feedpak_extension FEEDBACK_* env vars). The test env
vars now match server.py (which reads FEEDBACK_SYNC_STARTUP /
FEEDBACK_SKIP_STARTUP_TASKS), so the sync-startup test exercises the real
path again.
- Restore the window.slopsmith backward-compat alias dropped during conflict
resolution, and move the bus aliases to AFTER the _feedBackExisting merge
block so they reference the fully-assembled object (also fixes the
loop_api.test.js API-surface regex, which the original PR latently broke).
- Drop the stray empty data/web_library.db (runtime DB lives in CONFIG_DIR)
and gitignore it.
- Fix stale tone-source test: feed[dB]ack -> fee[dB]ack to match shipped
source labels.
Verified locally (org CI billing-blocked): JS 819/819 pass; pytest 1669
passed / 1683 collected with 0 import errors; zero residual slopsmith/byron
except the two intentional window.slopsmith aliases.

* rename: implement advertised backward-compat + prune dead community plugins
Address gaps where PR #537's "Backward compatibility" section was advertised
but not implemented, and clean up the community plugin list.
Env vars (FEEDBACK_* canonical, legacy SLOPSMITH_* honoured):
- New lib/env_compat.py (getenv_compat / env_flag_compat) + tests. server.py
(_env_flag + all FEEDBACK_* reads), diagnostics_hardware, gp2midi and
tailwind_rebuild now resolve the legacy alias, so existing SLOPSMITH_UI /
SLOPSMITH_PLUGINS_DIR / etc. deployments keep working.
- Fix the rename collapsing plugins/__init__.py and minigames/routes.py from
`FEEDBACK_PLUGINS_DIR or SLOPSMITH_PLUGINS_DIR` into a redundant
`FEEDBACK_ or FEEDBACK_` (the fallback was silently lost).
Storage (app.js update-channel):
- Read feedBack-update-channel, fall back to legacy slopsmith-update-channel,
and clear the legacy key on write — so a user's update-channel preference
survives the rename instead of resetting to "stable".
Community plugin list (README): the rename rewrote third-party repo URLs we
don't own. Probed every one; their owners never renamed, so:
- Restore the 13 live community plugins to their real slopsmith-* names.
- Prune 6 that are 404 to the public (topkoa splitscreen/stems, OmikronApex
tuner, Jafz2001 nam-rig-builder, DeathlySin song-preview, Erikcb91 shuffle).
- Fix a pre-existing Guitar Theory clone-command typo (nam-tone -> guitar-theory).
Verified: env_compat 7/7, JS 819/819, pytest 1690 collected / 0 import errors,
rename-sensitive + startup suites green.
