Defect: both search surfaces carried an identical `highlight()` that
took `idx` from `text.toLowerCase()` and then sliced `text` with it:
const lower = text.toLowerCase();
const idx = lower.indexOf(q);
text.slice(idx, idx + q.length)
That assumes lowercasing preserves length. It does not — `"İ"` (U+0130,
Turkish dotted capital I) lowercases to two code units, so every index
after one is off by one. Searching "stanbul" in "İstanbul kurulumu"
marks "tanbul " instead of "stanbul": the highlight starts and ends one
character late. Turkish is a routed locale (`tr`), and the search
haystack is where localized copy is headed.
Fix: `highlightSpan()` in lib/search-utils.ts — the module that exists
so the search components' pure logic can be unit-tested — folds case
one character at a time and keeps a position map, so the three returned
pieces are cut at real character boundaries and always reassemble the
input exactly. Both components now call it instead of repeating the
arithmetic.
Scope, honestly: no string in the current haystack contains a
length-changing character, so this is a latent bug rather than an
observed one. It is still wrong output for valid input, and it was
wrong in two places.
Evidence: lib/search-utils.test.ts. Restoring the lowercased-index
implementation fails "keeps indices in the source string when
lowercasing changes length" with `expected 'tanbul ' to be 'stanbul'`.
The last case pins both components onto the shared rule.
npm test 327 passed, npm run lint clean, npx tsc --noEmit clean.

codewhale-web
Documentation and community site for Codewhale — lives at codewhale.net.
Next.js 15 (App Router) + Tailwind, deployed to Cloudflare Workers via @opennextjs/cloudflare. Curated "Today's Dispatch" content is regenerated every 6 hours by a Cloudflare Cron Trigger that calls deepseek-v4-flash to summarise recent repo activity, and stored in Workers KV.
Local dev
cd web
npm install
cp .env.example .env.local # fill in the keys you have
npm run dev # http://localhost:3000
Env (mirrors .env.example):
| Variable | What | Required? |
|---|---|---|
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY |
DeepSeek platform key (sk-...) |
only for the /api/cron tasks (summarization + community agent) |
GITHUB_TOKEN |
Fine-grained PAT, public-repo read scope | optional (raises rate limit 60 → 5000 req/h) |
GITHUB_REPO |
Defaults to Hmbown/CodeWhale |
optional |
CRON_SECRET |
Shared secret for manual /api/cron invocation |
optional (Cloudflare cron triggers don't need it) |
DEEPSEEK_MODEL |
Defaults to deepseek-v4-flash |
optional |
DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL |
Defaults to https://api.deepseek.com |
optional |
MAINTAINER_TOKEN |
Admin panel auth; access /admin?token=<value> |
only for /admin |
MAINTAINER_GITHUB_PAT |
PAT with issues:write, for posting comments via /admin |
only for /admin posting |
NEXT_PUBLIC_GITEE_ENABLED |
Set to 1 once the Gitee mirror exists; blank hides Gitee links |
optional |
The site renders fine without any of them — Today's Dispatch falls back to a static editorial; the GitHub feed shows "feed not yet loaded".
Deploy to Cloudflare
Ordinary pushes and pull requests run the web checks and production build, but
they do not deploy. The deploy job in .github/workflows/web.yml runs
only for a maintainer-triggered workflow_dispatch on main. Before approval,
record the exact 40-character origin/main SHA and trigger that ref:
git fetch origin main
git rev-parse origin/main
gh workflow run web.yml --repo Hmbown/CodeWhale --ref main
Every green push to main also emits a Deployment approval needed workflow
notice with that command. The reminder does not receive Cloudflare credentials
and cannot deploy; it keeps the manual production approval boundary visible.
The manual job records the pre-deploy source drift, builds the OpenNext bundle,
deploys only after the protected Cloudflare inputs pass, and then requires the
public /api/facts receipt to report the exact workflow SHA. A credential-free
local comparison is available without starting a deployment:
npm run compare:deployed-facts -- --expected-revision <exact-40-character-sha>
You already own codewhale.net on Cloudflare and have a Workers Paid plan. The deploy is two steps:
-
Provision KV namespaces once:
npx wrangler kv namespace create CURATED_KV npx wrangler kv namespace create NEXT_INC_CACHE_KVCopy the printed
idvalues into the matchingwrangler.jsoncbindings (replace eachREPLACE_WITH_KV_ID). -
Set secrets and deploy:
npx wrangler secret put DEEPSEEK_API_KEY npx wrangler secret put GITHUB_TOKEN # optional npx wrangler secret put CRON_SECRET # optional, for manual /api/cron?task=curate hits npm run deploy # builds with OpenNext + uploads -
Point the domain: in the Cloudflare dashboard, add a Worker route for
codewhale.net/*→ the deployed Worker, namedcodewhale-web(seewrangler.jsonc).
The first cron run happens within 6 hours; you can also kick it manually:
curl -H "x-cron-secret: $CRON_SECRET" "https://codewhale.net/api/cron?task=curate"
What's where
Pages are bilingual by default: each app/[locale]/ page renders both
English and Chinese from the same file, keyed by the [locale] segment
(see lib/i18n/config.ts). Copy changes must update both locales. The
v0.9.2 wave adds routed partial locales (ja, vi, ko, ru, uk, es, pt-BR):
their shared chrome (nav/footer/switcher) and home-page copy live in
lib/i18n/dictionaries/<code>/ (checked by npm run check:locales), and
everything else falls back to the English copy. Routing, middleware
detection (lib/i18n/detect.ts), sitemap, and hreflang all derive from the
one registry.

Facts pipeline
Mechanical facts (version, provider list, sandbox backends, crate names, default model, Node engines) are never hand-written into pages:
- Build time —
scripts/derive-facts.mjsruns asprebuild(and beforenpm run dev), parses the parent repo (Cargo.toml,crates/tui/src/config.rs,crates/tui/src/sandbox/mod.rs,npm/codewhale/package.json) and writeslib/facts.generated.ts. Never edit that file by hand. - Published release —
data/latest-published-release.jsonrecords the latest GitHub Release separately from the source candidate. Install commands use this published tag; they never turn the workspace version into a release before publication. The credential-free deployed-facts comparison checks the record against the public receipt. - Runtime — the
/api/cron?task=facts-driftcron (lib/facts-drift.ts) resolves an exactmainrevision, derives every source fact from that SHA, and writes changes toCURATED_KVunderfacts:current. Pages accept that snapshot only when its source provenance is the same as or newer than the deployed build. Legacy, malformed, or older KV data cannot replace newer build facts; published-release metadata is resolved independently. Public fact pages revalidate their cached HTML every five minutes.
/api/facts exposes only public provenance and counts: deployed/resolved source
revision, version, provider count, tool count, selection reason, and latest
published release. It contains no environment values, tokens, or KV contents.
When a new ApiProvider variant lands in crates/tui/src/config.rs, it must
be added to the labelMap in both scripts/derive-facts.mjs and
lib/facts-drift.ts (or to the EXCLUDED set if deliberately hidden). Both
fail loudly on unmapped variants, so the build / cron will tell you.
Visual direction
The public site is a documentation portal with a restrained underwater atmosphere. Content and navigation come first; ocean depth, currents, and the whale mark provide identity without turning every section into a themed card.
- Palette: cool paper and mist for reading surfaces, deep navy for terminal and community sections, muted current blue for links, and small gold/coral signals where status needs contrast.
- Type: Space Grotesk for headings, IBM Plex Sans for body copy, and JetBrains Mono for commands and compact interface labels.
- Structure: compact documentation rows, quiet hairline dividers, generous but bounded reading widths, and responsive layouts that remove chrome before content.
If you want to retune the palette, edit :root in app/globals.css and the colors block in tailwind.config.ts.
