tiennm99 3fcfe4862d docs: rewrite for the unified repo and record the parity gate
The docs still described two standalone projects with separate frontends,
separate parsers and three Vite variants. Rewritten around what the repo now
is, merging both projects' copies rather than keeping one and discarding the
other — deployment-guide.md and system-architecture.md existed in both and
documented different pipelines.

  project-overview.md    goal, scope, constraints, the four datasets, history
  system-architecture.md data flow, canonical schema, routing, how one
                         frontend serves both exam years without branching
  data-pipeline.md       per-dataset Excel formats, the three 2016 layouts,
                         overflow-sheet gotcha, expected row counts
  deployment-guide.md    the single-build workflow, adding a dataset,
                         why no uncompressed database can ship

Records the release gate in plans/reports/parser-parity-result.md: row counts,
all 18 pre-existing per-column non-NULL counts and the deterministic student
samples are identical across all four datasets, against databases decompressed
from the exact bytes the pipeline publishes. The 1,691 recovered
foreign-language scores are documented with the evidence they are real.

Also drops a machine-specific absolute path from a comment in
format_detect_2016.rs. The build-database.js citations there are kept: that
file no longer exists in this repo, but the references explain why several
parsing rules look arbitrary.

# Deployment Guide
Deploys to GitHub Pages via `.github/workflows/deploy-pages.yml`. Every push to
`main` rebuilds all four datasets and redeploys the whole site.
One-time setup: **Settings → Pages → Source: GitHub Actions**.
## What the workflow does
1. Checkout, Rust toolchain, Node 24, `npm ci`
2. `npm run build:rust` — one parser binary
3. `npm run build:db` — builds and gzips all four databases into
`.build/public/db/`
4. `npm run build:site` — one Vite build, then `scripts/assemble-site.js`
5. `actions/upload-pages-artifact` + `actions/deploy-pages`
The database build dominates the runtime: roughly 419 MB of Excel is parsed on
every deploy.
## Resulting URLs
```
https://<user>.github.io/thptqg/
https://<user>.github.io/thptqg/2016/
https://<user>.github.io/thptqg/2017/
https://<user>.github.io/thptqg/2017-old/
https://<user>.github.io/thptqg/2017-old2/
```
`/thptqg/2017/old/` and `/thptqg/2017/old2/` were the pre-flattening URLs. They
are still served, and the router rewrites them to the flat form with the query
string intact.
## Local reproduction
```bash
npm ci
npm run build:rust
npm run build:db # all four; pass an id to build just one
npm run build:site # vite build + assemble into _site/
npx serve _site
```
To rebuild a single dataset:
```bash
node parser/scripts/build-db.js 2017-old
```
## Base path
`vite.config.js` sets `base: "/thptqg/"`. If you fork under a different repo
name, update it to match — assets are referenced absolutely, so a mismatch shows
up as a blank page with 404s on `/assets/...`.
## Adding a dataset
1. Put the Excel files in `data/<id>/`
2. Add `parser/configs/<id>.toml` with the parse rules — sheet mode, column
indices, SBD validation, header tokens, blank-row stripping. No SQL: the
schema is canonical and lives in `parser/src/schema.rs`
3. Add an entry to `DATASETS` in `src/datasets.js`
Nothing else. The build script, the site assembly and the router all read that
one list, and the frontend adapts to whichever columns the dataset populates.
## Why no uncompressed database can ship
`build-db.js` runs `gzip -9` **without** `-k`, so the raw file does not survive
the build. `assemble-site.js` then fails the job if any `.db`, `.db-journal`,
`.db-wal` or `.db-shm` reached the output.
Both guards exist because the previous pipeline wrote a 100+ MB uncompressed
database into the source tree and relied on an `rm` step to keep it out of the
artifact — one missing line away from publishing it.
## Notes
- **The gzipped database is not cacheable across deploys.** Every rebuild
produces a different `.db.gz`, because SQLite does not lay pages out
deterministically. First-visit users pay the full download; later visits hit
browser cache until the next deploy.
- **GitHub Pages caps individual files at 100 MB.** The largest gzipped database
is about 48 MB. Uncompressed they run 135–234 MB and would not fit — which is
why the browser decompresses via `DecompressionStream`.
- **No server-side compression is assumed.** The app fetches the `.gz` bytes
directly rather than relying on `Content-Encoding: gzip`; Pages does not
reliably compress arbitrary paths on the fly.
- **Total artifact is about 177 MB**, well inside the 1 GB site limit.
## Rollback
Deploys are stateless snapshots. Revert the commit on `main` and push; the next
run rebuilds the older state. There is no data to migrate.
## Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Typical cause |
| --- | --- |
| Blank page, 404 on assets | `base` in `vite.config.js` does not match the repo name |
| `Failed to fetch database: 404` | Dataset id in `src/datasets.js` does not match the file in `db/` |
| A route 404s | `assemble-site.js` did not run, or the id is missing from `DATASETS` |
| WASM fails to load | `sql.js.org` unreachable — self-host `sql-wasm.wasm` and update `SQL_WASM_URL` in `use-sqlite.js` |
| Deploy fails on assembly | An uncompressed database artefact reached the output; the error names the files |
| Missing rows after a data update | Unknown Excel header — check the per-file row counts the parser prints |
