Summary

Release tarballs drop from ~16 MB to under 1 MB by shipping a bundled server (no node_modules) instead of archiving the whole checkout.

Changes

Same packing approach as bespoke/prompteval: npm run pack runs scripts/pack-dist.mjs, which esbuild-bundles server.js (with marked and ws inlined), copies public/ and data/, smoke-checks /api/activity, then writes dist.tar.gz.

The release workflow now runs tests and npm run pack before attaching the artifact. Worth a close look at what the pack script includes/excludes (design-system tests and local answer/report leftovers are left out on purpose).

Test plan

  • npm test
  • npm run pack — confirm it finishes and prints a sub-1 MB dist.tar.gz
  • Extract dist.tar.gz somewhere clean, run node server.js, open / and confirm the activity loads from data/question.md
  • On merge, cut a test release tag and confirm the workflow attaches the slim asset

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a package script that bundles the server, copies selected runtime assets, checks the generated files, and tests the bundled server. It creates dist.tar.gz from the resulting distribution. The release workflow runs tests and packaging, then uploads the archive. The README adds extraction and startup instructions, and .gitignore excludes the generated distribution and archive.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to daea2

The release packaging check can exceed its intended timeout if the local server delays responding. Adding request cancellation bounds that delay; otherwise the change is mergeable with awareness of this narrow packaging risk.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Apply the smoke-check deadline to fetch.

If the endpoint accepts the request but delays response headers, this await can exceed the ten-second deadline. The loop cannot check the deadline or stop the child process while the request remains pending.

Pass an abort signal with the remaining deadline. Node.js 20 supports AbortSignal.timeout. (nodejs.org)

Proposed fix
-      const res = await fetch(`http://127.0.0.1:${smokePort}/api/activity`);
+      const res = await fetch(`http://127.0.0.1:${smokePort}/api/activity`, {
+        signal: AbortSignal.timeout(Math.max(1, deadline - Date.now())),
+      });
