| Static HTML, CSS, and a small JS file — no build step required. To preview | |
| locally, serve this directory with any static file server, for example: | |
| ```bash | |
| python3 -m http.server -d docs 8080 | |
| # then open http://localhost:8080/ | |
| ``` | |
| ## How the version number stays current | |
| The displayed release version is kept fresh by two independent mechanisms: | |
| 1. **Build-time substitution.** The `Deploy GitHub Pages` workflow | |
| (`.github/workflows/pages.yml`) replaces every occurrence of the literal | |
| `{{VERSION}}` in `index.html` with the latest GitHub release tag before | |
| publishing. The workflow runs on every push to `main` that touches | |
| `docs/**`, on every published release, and can be dispatched manually. | |
| 2. **Client-side refresh.** `assets/app.js` queries the GitHub Releases API | |
| on page load and overwrites any element marked with `data-version`. This | |
| means visitors see the very latest tag even between deploys. |
