The repository now reads as the pipeline it is: crawler fetches, parser
converts, assembler verifies and publishes, with data/ and web/ as the stores
they hand work through. go-parser is renamed parser now that there is no other.
The assembler replaces build-db.js and assemble-site.js. It compiles the
parser, builds and verifies each database, compresses it, runs the Vite build
and assembles _site — one command, and the only place that knows the order.
It also closes a real hole: nothing previously asserted that a database reached
the site. An empty staging directory assembled happily, so every page rendered,
every query 404d and CI stayed green. The row-count and size guards could not
catch that, since they only run when a database was built at all.
Removing Node from the root forced the dataset list out of web/src/datasets.js,
which the assembler cannot import. datasets.json is now the registry both sides
read — JSON because Go and the browser both parse it without a dependency —
while presentation stays in the web app, keyed by id and cross-checked against
the registry so a half-added dataset fails instead of half-working.
Guards verified by making each one fail: a missing database, and an expected
row count one higher than the truth.
The Go parser has matched the Rust one field-by-field across all four datasets,
so the Rust crate is retired and CI builds the Go binary instead.
crawl-baotintuc.js moves to go-parser/scripts/ — it is the only mechanism for
refreshing data/2017 and has a documented runbook. check-duplicates.js and
diff-datasets.js are dropped: both had been broken since before the repo was
unified, and neither had a caller. db-stats.js and verify-parity.js are dropped
as superseded by differential-parity.mjs, which compares more and cannot
silently skip a dataset.
The reader-fidelity oracle is kept and marked frozen. It was produced by the
Rust reader so it can no longer be regenerated, but it still fails if any single
cell of any of the 299 input files reads differently.
Source comments cite the original Rust by file and line; those paths resolve at
tag pre-go-parser-removal, recorded in go-parser/README.md.
Adds go-parser/, a Go reimplementation of the xlsxread parser, verified
byte-for-byte against the Rust original before any cutover.
Reader fidelity is exact across all 299 input files: the canonical cell dump
of every sheet matches calamine's, locked in as a test against a committed
hash oracle. Reaching that required replacing extrame/xls, which corrupted
69% of cells and dropped a further 28% on the BIFF corpus, with pbnjay/grate;
correcting excelize's number-format application and trailing-cell trimming;
restoring carriage returns that XML line-ending normalisation strips from
2,233 ten_cum_thi values; and gating numeric re-rendering on cell type so
shared strings that merely look numeric keep their leading zeros.
The differential gate compares both parsers over all four datasets:
3,265,641 rows with identical full-table SHA-256, identical per-column
non-NULL counts, identical schema metadata and identical stdout.
Config moves from TOML to YAML for both parsers, so they keep reading the
same files and the gate stays meaningful. Verified by rebuilding 2016 and
2017-old2 with Rust under the new configs and matching the recorded counts.
build-db.js now refuses to publish a database whose row count does not match
the known figure, closing a path where an under-producing parser could ship a
truncated public dataset with green CI. The deploy workflow gains a
pull_request trigger and guards deploy to main, so branch verification can no
longer publish to production.
