Three things that needed a rebuild and a redeploy, or had no way in at all, now have a Site identity panel in the admin: the restaurant's name and tagline, an SVG icon upload, and a switch for whether a menu says when it was published. They live in data/site.json and data/brand/icon.svg, extending ADR 0007: what the owner changes is content, and the config is the seed plus the theme, which still needs a rebuild. An uploaded SVG is a document that would run with this origin's authority, so it is reduced to shapes on the way in and served with default-src 'none'. The archive list keeps its dates even when the switch is off, because those dates are how one old menu is told from another. Also fixes the live check's own trap: the app caches identity in memory, so the tests drive it through the app rather than a second store instance, which would be a second writer.
menu-admin
Uploads, orders and publishes the customer-facing menus of a restaurant Site as
photographed Pages, replacing the scp-a-JPG workflow. One instance per Site;
docs/plan.md is the agreed design and CONTEXT.md is the glossary.
Status
Built: Site config, the Menu Set store, the image pipeline, the customer-facing
renderer (landing page, Section pages, archived sets, media route) with the
approved design, the admin (sign in, create a set, upload and reorder Pages,
preview, publish, restore, delete), the verify/repair CLI, the container and
the Ansible playbook. Not yet done: the parallel-run deployment on monoco,
which needs a human present.
Deploying
./deploy.sh 2026-09-22 # tests, build, push to registry.tanshu.com
then the playbook in ansible-playbooks/menu-admin/ — its readme covers the
parallel run, the site.env step that gives the admin a password, and cutover.
After deploying, check the running site from the outside (read-only, exits non-zero on failure, so it can gate a cutover):
npm run check-site -- https://menu-new.hopsngrains.com

The Ansible playbook lives in ansible-playbooks/menu-admin/, beside the other
playbooks, because that is where it is run from.
Running it locally
Node 24 or newer runs the TypeScript sources directly; there is no build step.
npm install
npm run seed # placeholder Pages in .dev (wipes .dev/data; for looking at the design)
npm run dev # http://localhost:3000 against .dev
npm run dev first runs scripts/dev-env.ts, which creates .dev/site.env on
first use with the password menu-dev-password (override with
DEV_ADMIN_PASSWORD=...) and a random session secret, then starts the server
with --watch. Sign in at http://localhost:3000/admin.
The file is gitignored and development only: the dev server runs with
SECURE_COOKIES=false over http, and that password is a known constant. On the
server the same file is written by scripts/provision-site-env.sh with a hash of
the real password and mode 600.
Tests and checks:
npm test # node:test
npm run typecheck # tsc --noEmit, scripts/ included
npm run verify # integrity of .dev/data
npm run check-site -- http://127.0.0.1:3000 # checks a running site from outside
Dragging Pages is the one interaction that only a browser can check, so there is
a harness for it. It needs geckodriver on PATH and a running dev server:
geckodriver --port 4444 &
npm run check-dnd -- <set-id> native # drags and asserts it persisted
npm run check-dnd -- <set-id> none # just reports affordances
In VS Code
.vscode/ holds launch configurations and tasks.
| Configuration | What it does |
|---|---|
| Dev server (debug) | runs src/server.ts with the dev environment, breakpoints live |
| Dev server (watch, no debugger) | npm run dev in a terminal |
| Debug the open test file | runs the file you have open under node --test, with child processes attached so breakpoints inside a test bind |
| Check the running site | prompts for a URL and runs scripts/check-site.ts |
Breakpoints land in the .ts files themselves: Node strips types in place, so
line numbers are the ones you see. The debug configuration creates .dev/site.env
first (preLaunchTask), so a fresh clone serves a working admin immediately.
Tasks (Command Palette → Run Task) cover the same ground: seed, the dev server,
tests, typecheck, verify and repair. .dev, .tmp and .npm-cache are hidden
from the explorer, search and the file watcher, so a watched server does not
restart on its own data writes.
Who can do what
/ and /<section>/ are public. /admin needs the password; a Draft's Pages
are served only to a signed-in session, and Originals have no route at all.
Storage model
data/
├── originals/<section>/<set-id>/<page-id>.<hash>.<ext> # kept, never served
├── drafts/<section>/<set-id>/ # manifest.json + variants
└── published/<section>/<slug>/ # manifest.json + variants
The directory decides a Menu Set's state; the manifest carries metadata only.
<slug> is the valid-until date, else the publication date. The Current Menu
Set for a Section is the published one with the newest publishedAt. Published
sets are immutable: changing a menu means publishing a new set.
