docs: README and server placeholder

README covers how the pieces fit: the storage interface, the inverted
frequency join, the gate's three refinements, and the checks that guard
each one.

server/ holds a README only. Steps 1-3 give a fully working offline app with
no server at all, and that is the version that gets used first.

# Hankan · 한칸
A Korean reading tutor for manhwa. One codebase, two shells: a web app and an
Android app. **Works entirely offline — there is no server.**
Ported from a single-file Claude artifact. The curriculum, the tutor prompt and
the five logic modules came finished and tested; this repo is the application
built around them.
---
## What is here
```
data/ lib/ prompt/ validate.mjs verbatim from the export bundle — do not edit
shared/ band table + phonological ladder, shared by app and build
types/ TypeScript declarations for lib/ and shared/
tools/dict/ the dictionary build pipeline
app/ Vite + React + TypeScript, and the Capacitor shell
src/db/ one storage interface, two SQLite drivers
src/domain/ the gate, the lexicon, SRS, the stub tutor
src/ui/ six tabs, the review overlay, the 한글 keyboard
public/dict/ generated dictionary — committed, shipped
test/ golden tests for lib/, driver conformance, domain logic
server/ placeholder; PORT.md steps 4-6
```
`data/`, `lib/`, `prompt/` and `validate.mjs` are byte-identical to the export
and are excluded from lint and formatting. `lib/conjugation.js` encodes the seven
Korean irregular classes and is the reason no runtime morphological analyser is
needed; `lib/hangul.js` implements 두벌식 composition. Types are supplied
alongside in `types/`, so neither file had to be touched.
## Running it
```bash
npm install
npm run dict:build # only needed if app/public/dict/ is missing or stale
npm run dev # http://localhost:5173
```
```bash
npm run check # validate.mjs, typecheck, tests, roadmap assertion
npm run build # production build + service worker
```
### Android
The Capacitor project lives at `app/android/` and is committed. It needs the
Android SDK, which this repo does not install:
```bash
export ANDROID_HOME=/path/to/Android/Sdk
npm run build
npm run cap:sync
cd app/android && ./gradlew assembleDebug
```
`npx cap sync` copies `app/dist/` — including the dictionary — into the APK's
assets, so the phone build is as offline as the web one.
## How it works
### Storage — one interface, two drivers
`app/src/db/` exposes a single `Db` interface. `sqlite.web.ts` runs
`@sqlite.org/sqlite-wasm` in a dedicated Worker over the **OPFS SAHPool VFS**
(the plain OPFS VFS needs COOP/COEP headers, which neither a static host nor the
Capacitor webview reliably provides). `sqlite.native.ts` uses the Capacitor
SQLite plugin. Both apply the same migration array from `migrations.ts`.
**Seeded state never carries a write timestamp.** The artifact had a sync bug
where a fresh device stamped its own empty defaults as newer than the server's
real history and clobbered it. Three layers stop that from being expressible:
every syncable table declares `updated_at INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0`, so
forgetting the column is the safe failure; `db/writes.ts` splits every mutation
into `seedX()` (never stamps) and `editX()` (always stamps) and is the only file
allowed to read the clock; an ESLint rule enforces that, and the conformance
suite asserts a freshly seeded database has no non-zero `updated_at` anywhere.
### The dictionary
`npm run dict:build` merges a dictionary source, a frequency list, the curated
data in `data/`, and a hand-written grammar lexicon, then runs
`lib/conjugation.js → surfaceForms()` over every verb and adjective to fill the
`surface` table. Lookup of a conjugated form is therefore an index hit, not an
analysis — **no runtime morphological analyser ships**.
Sources are chosen automatically: KRDICT if a download has been vendored (it
has curated learner glosses and a graded 초급/중급/고급 level), otherwise the
kaikki.org Korean extract. KRDICT's download page is a JavaScript form behind
anti-bot protection, so it cannot be fetched by a script — see the comment at
the top of `tools/dict/fetch.mjs`.
Frequency needs care: a subtitle frequency list holds *surface* forms while a
dictionary holds lemmas, and a naive join on the headword gives every verb a
frequency of roughly zero. `tools/dict/freq-forms.mjs` inverts the join —
expanding each lemma into the forms it plausibly takes and summing — which
recovers 하다 from 118 to 89,041.
Output is one gzipped row dump per band, committed under `app/public/dict/`.
They are static assets in the bundle and in the APK's assets, so no server is
involved. Attribution is in [NOTICE.md](NOTICE.md); share-alike attaches to the
dictionary data, not to this code.
### The gate
`lib/gate.js` computes what the tutor may teach from the curriculum plus
progress, and `renderGate()` renders it into `{{GATE}}` in
`prompt/tutor-system.md`, which ships unchanged. `buildGate()` takes a
`vocabQuery` hook; `app/src/domain/gate.ts` fills it with a frequency-band query
so vocabulary grows as units are finished. Three refinements sit inside that
hook, all of them narrowing:
1. words a not-yet-finished unit is the first to introduce are excluded, so a
band ceiling cannot smuggle 3.4's material into 2.1;
2. during Phase 1 the results are filtered by the same phonological ladder
`validate.mjs` checks, so a band cannot hand the learner a 겹받침 at 1.4;
3. the list is capped at 800 by frequency, because `renderGate()` inlines it
into the prompt. The cap is strictly more restrictive than the band.
Confidence is clamped to `MAX_DELTA_PER_TURN` per turn. The artifact wrote the
model's number straight into the advancement gate, so one hallucinated
`::progress 95` could skip a unit.
### The tutor
`app/src/domain/stub-tutor.ts` stands in for the model and implements the exact
contract the real endpoint will (`onText` receives cumulative text; an aborted
turn keeps what it streamed). It rotates all four exercise types, builds its
`::words` from the current unit's real vocabulary, and climbs `::progress`
gradually, so every render path — including the 85% advancement banner — is
reachable with no server. Swapping in the Pi's SSE endpoint later touches only
that file.
## Checks
| Command | What it guards |
|---|---|
| `node validate.mjs` | the curriculum. **PASS — 0 blocking, 0 advisory** |
| `npm test` | lib golden tests, driver conformance, the seeded-timestamp rule, the gate |
| `npm run dict:assert` | **371/371 roadmap words resolve** (was 167 unglossable) |
| `npm run typecheck` · `npm run lint` | types, and the clock guard on `src/db/` |
CI runs them in that order, `validate.mjs` first.
## Not in this pass
No sync layer, no tutor server endpoint, no Play Store packaging — PORT.md steps
46. The schema carries `updated_at` on every syncable row and the dictionary is
fetched by URL, so both land without rework.
## Known limitation
`lib/blocks.js` `parse()` does not close a `::gloss` block on its `=` line, so a
multi-sentence gloss collapses into one run-on line. Since `lib/` ships
unchanged, `app/src/domain/gloss.ts` splits the block and parses each sentence
separately. The behaviour is pinned in `test/lib/blocks.test.ts`; if the library
is ever revised, the one-line fix is `cur = null` and both workarounds go.

# server/ — not in this pass
PORT.md steps 46 land here: the sync API, the tutor SSE endpoint, and the
Docker Compose deployment beside the Pi's existing Postgres and Caddy.
Nothing here yet, on purpose. Steps 13 give a fully working offline app with
no server at all, and that is the version that gets used first.
What is already shaped for it:
- every syncable table carries `updated_at`, and seeded rows are pinned to 0
(see `app/src/db/writes.ts`) — the artifact's clobbering bug cannot be
expressed;
- `change_seq` is deliberately absent: it is server-assigned and arrives with
the sync layer;
- the dictionary is fetched by URL from `app/src/domain/dictionary.ts`, so
per-band deltas can come from the Pi instead of the bundle by changing a base
URL;
- the tutor goes through one `Sample` function
(`app/src/domain/stub-tutor.ts`). The real endpoint implements the same
contract — `onText` receives cumulative text, and an aborted turn stops
billing — so only that file changes.
When the SSE endpoint lands, Caddy needs `flush_interval -1` on the proxy or
the stream buffers and the tutor appears to hang.
