-[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0SMMwDsl5o  The detour and investigation were a success, with caveats. The prognosis is terminal (sad) and the prospects for revision are untenable. Such as it is, the theoretical needle is going to require SigScanning - RVA matching is too brittle and caused the precise problems seen in attempted modernization. A  salute to good work and a noble attempt. Moving along.]

-Placing the final touches on manifest management... Laying the groundwork for the overhaul of the wiki's UI-API relationship to the map, content management for ''KenshiDB'' (remember?) and "upgraded" job runner dashboard (this combined with refining the runner itself). The converging pipelines, dashboards & monitors invariably lead to returning to the map in earnest. Toying around in Ghidra, btw.

-Quick on this one because there's a lot of good going on.
+[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxjrcTXri1c Merry Christmas]
-# The (direct) manifest pipeline - local extraction & bundling, upload, unpacking & serving to the map is complete.
-# Establishing a thin proxy to serve the v1 (existing), v2 (in progress) and v3 (optimized) versions of the map's data underway.
+{{Center|'''SVGs reign supreme!'''}}
-# Map orchestration is, aside from Caravan's role, largely to be managed through the observation point & smart switch on the backend for delivering the respective versions, if available (v1 always is).
-# The Job Runner & KenshiDB reworks (one more elaborate than the other) are in the outlining phase.
+[[File:ColorfulMapLayers.png|frame|center|Colorful roads, borders, resources & weather layers.]]
-# With the so-called direct access manifest pipeline up and running the map's feature development is back in fashion. The set is known - taking time to align them with the emerging new options setting & confirmation process. Caravan retains controls of configuration routines... easier to decouple that way.

-=Kenshi Wiki's full tech stack=
-A brief overview of the languages and approaches to the site's composition, subject to some change...
-:Hosted on '''Ubuntu 24.04''' (this may change!)
-;Web server...
-::'''Nginx''', '''Varnish''' & '''Cloudflare''' for DNS
-::'''MariaDB''' for MySQL
-::Most logging (and the Job Runner) are managed through '''Cron jobs (Bash)'''.
-;Sites...
-::'''HTML''', '''CSS''' & '''Javascript''' - standard, friendly, used everywhere, unavoidable.
-::The wikisite is primarily focused on '''PHP''' on the backend, mostly '''Javascript''' and '''Lua''' focused on the frontend
-::The interactive map uses a basic setup of '''HTML, CSS & Javacript''', for now.
-:::This is subject to change, '''Typescript''' integration is underway - DB migration thereafter.
-::The other sites, Manifestor, File Storage (KenshiDB) & Wiki Job Runner are managed through '''Blazor'''.
-:::'''C#, Razor, Entity Framework, ASPNET, OAuth...systemd'''.
-::::Experimenting with '''Go, F# (Bolero)''' and '''Cloudflare Workers'''.
-::::Note on this - no integration intentions as of yet, simply experimenting. Except CFWs - those are desirable later optimizations.
-;External tools
-:Both the KenshiDataTools (Extraction + Manifestation) & the Kenshi SDK (KenshiConnector and its growing list of submodules) are written in C#.
-:I tend to do most development in Visual Studio / + (Code) nowadays. VSC is especially nice with its SSH add-on - reason enough to acquiesce to the .NET ecosystem.
-;Where's the repos, Prd?
-:I host all my repos locally via SSH. Thankfully, git =/= github. If you are interested in any specific pull, please send an e-mail to...
-:KenshiDBdotWiki@gmail.com
-:I can be contacted here and will get back to you within a day - I keep tabs on all my e-mails thanks to work habits.
-:''Is the wiki's autmoated mail server active?''
-:Not yet - some remaining questions on Auth. It'll probably stay as Gmail for convenience.
