Michael ColeandClaude Opus 4.8 63df38105d Make CLI success output copy-paste-safe; add --serve, docs hub, key hygiene
A successful clone printed a bare, timestamped app path that wrapped mid-word
in the terminal, so users' `cd` failed and `npm install && npm run dev` ran in
the wrong directory — a confusing failure from a successful clone. Plus there
was no first-party "see it locally" path, no central docs page, "clone" was
conflated with `git clone`, and key hygiene wasn't stated.

CLI (compiler):
- Add compiler/src/cliSummary.ts: a copy-paste-safe success block on stderr — a
  single QUOTED `cd "<app>" && npm install && npm run dev` line that survives
  terminal wrapping — plus the AGENTS.md safe-to-edit pointers (content.ts,
  components/). The machine-readable {"event":"done",...} JSON stays on stdout.
- Add --serve (npm install + npm run dev in the generated app) and --open
  (also open the browser at the detected dev URL). Wired into single + multi.
- Add writeLatestPointer(): refresh a runs/<site>/latest symlink to the newest
  run so there's a stable, timestamp-free cd/script target. The reuse/regen
  scanners already filter to digit-prefixed run dirs, so `latest` is ignored.
- Tests: cliSummary (quoting, single-line command, Next/Vite roots, stable-path
  preference, --serve/--open hint) and runsLayout (symlink write + in-place
  refresh, timestamp-free stable path).

Docs:
- Add docs/README.md as a central documentation index.
- State prominently that ditto "cloning" = generating a codebase from a live
  URL, NOT `git clone` (no source repo required), in README + docs hub.
- Add "keys are secrets: use $DITTO_API_KEY, never inline/commit, rotate
  anytime" beside the key/auth examples in README + docs/SERVICE.md.
- Document --serve/--open and the latest symlink in README + compiler/README.

Note: the live ditto.site/docs web route and the dashboard's inline-token
snippet live in the marketing-site repo and still need a change there.

ditto.site Compiler

This workspace contains the deterministic compiler used by ditto.site. It captures a source URL, builds a render IR, infers assets/fonts/tokens/sections/recipes/SEO, generates a Next.js App Router app by default or a Vite React app on request, and validates the result with deterministic gates.

The full architecture overview lives in ../README.md. This file keeps only compiler-local commands and notes.

Commands

cd compiler
npm install
npx playwright install chromium

npm run clone -- https://example.com/
npm run clone -- https://example.com/ --serve   # then npm install + npm run dev
npm run clone -- https://example.com/ --open    # ...and open the browser too
npm run clone -- https://example.com/ --mode=multi --styling=tailwind
npm run clone -- https://example.com/ --mode=single --framework=vite
npm run clone-site -- https://example.com/
npm run validate-site -- ../runs/site-example.com/<timestamp>
npm run clone -- https://example.com/ --mode=multi --concurrency=5
npm run clone -- https://example.com/ --mode=multi --validate --validate-concurrency=3 --viewport-concurrency=2
npm run validate-site -- ../runs/site-example.com/<timestamp> --validate-concurrency=3 --viewport-concurrency=2
npm run bench -- --tier=easy
npm run bench-site
npm run quality -- ../runs/example.com/<timestamp>
npm run audit -- ../runs/example.com/<timestamp>
npm test
npm run typecheck

Root-level scripts forward to these commands, so npm run clone -- <url> works from the repository root too.

("Clone" here = generating a codebase from a live URL, not git clone; no source repo required.) On success the CLI prints a copy-paste-safe summary: a single quoted cd … && npm install && npm run dev line plus safe-to-edit pointers. Pass --serve to run install + dev automatically, or --open to also launch the browser. Without --out, a runs/<site>/latest symlink always points at the newest run so paths aren't timestamp-fragile.

Multi-page generation defaults to the fast no-validation path. Use --validate when the clone command itself should run the full build/render/gates QA pass, or run validate-site separately. --concurrency controls source route capture; --validate-concurrency controls how many routes validation grades at once; and --viewport-concurrency controls how many clone viewports each route renders at once.

Generated App Shape

Default Next generated apps use src/app/ditto.css and optional helpers under src/app/ditto/. Vite generated apps use src/ditto.css and optional helpers under src/ditto/, with multi-route pages under src/routes/. Validation builds keep data-cid attributes for source/clone alignment; delivered apps strip those validation ids and keep only required data-ditto-id anchors.
