Closes the half of the ask the signing work didn't: a way to tell a dev
build from a main one. FC_CHANNEL is baked into the web image at build
time and /api/extension/manifest reports it as its own key, next to
version — the popup banner, the toolbar tooltip and the Settings card all
name it.

Beside the version, never inside it. A `1.0.3499884-dev` suffix is the
obvious shortcut and it is the exact failure this design comes from:
versionIsNewer parses each dotted segment with parseInt, so a suffixed
segment reads as 0, every dev build compares equal to every other, and
"no update available" stops being distinguishable from "I cannot read this
version". The comparator already degrades rather than discarding (rule
150), which is a reason not to NEED the suffix, not a licence to add one.
Two tests hold the line — one backend, asserting version and channel are
separate keys; one frontend, asserting the rendered version text stays the
bare derived number.

Optional on the read side, and absent rather than defaulted. An image
built before this field says nothing by not having the key; an image built
without a channel now says nothing the same way, so there is one absence
to handle instead of a second spelling of "unknown". Every reader drops
the label entirely when it is missing and reads exactly as it did before.
Reported verbatim rather than validated against {dev, main}: if an image
declares something else, showing what it claims helps whoever is debugging
more than dropping it would.

FC_CHANNEL is declared LAST in the Dockerfile. An ARG invalidates every
layer below it, and this is the one value that differs between the dev and
main builds of identical source — earlier, and the two channels could
never share a cached pip install. A tag push counts as main: a vYY.MM.DD
tag is cut from main, so that image is a main-channel artifact wearing an
immutable name.

No channel switcher, deliberately. background.js:34 already records that
Firefox's static update_url cannot apply, because every FC instance is a
different host — so the extension asks its configured backend, and the
channel IS the instance it points at. Switching is repointing apiUrl and
reinstalling from that host. A separate setting would contradict each
server build shipping its own extension.

This commit touches packaged extension files, so it moves the derived
version and will sign a new one via AMO — the first push to exercise the
extension-changed path from dev end to end.

The guard asked whether a packaged extension file changed without the
version moving. Since step 4 nobody moves the version by hand, so it was
checking a fact that had stopped existing — and it was not merely dead
weight: it would have failed the lane on every real extension change,
demanding a bump that decides nothing. Removed rather than left running
beside the new mechanism (rule 22).

What replaces it is thinner and true. The extension-version lane now
asserts the derivation resolves on this commit, that the derived value is
the plain dotted-numeric shape AMO accepts, and that MAJOR.MINOR agrees
between manifest.json and package.json. MAJOR.MINOR is the one part still
hand-set, and packaging.sh reads it from manifest.json ALONE, so a
divergence ships a version package.json disagrees with. The lane keeps
fetch-depth: 0 — checking that the derivation survives a real checkout is
half its remaining value.

Deliberately not checked there: that the derived value beats what is
already signed. That guard belongs in build.yml, where it compares against
the real ext-* releases. Comparing against origin/main in a lane would be
wrong, because dev legitimately derives a LOWER value whenever main is
ahead on the extension, and a lane that fails for being behind is a lane
people learn to ignore.

packaging.sh is down to two consumers from three. version.spec.js's
"ci.yml derives its pathspec" test would have gone red on that, so it is
rewritten to assert the property rather than the consumer: no workflow
inlines an :(exclude)extension/ literal, across all three. That keeps the
#2397 anti-regression value while surviving consumers coming and going.
A second test pins build.yml to packaging.sh version and fails if it goes
back to grepping the committed value — which is not a style regression but
the #3092 bug itself. build.yml joins extension.yml's trigger paths, since
the suite now asserts against it.

The lockstep test narrows from the whole version string to MAJOR.MINOR.
The committed patch numbers are inert now; asserting on them would fail
for a difference that changes nothing.

Docs. extension/README.md's Release section described extension.yml
signing on main and committing the XPI into frontend/public/ — untrue
since 2026-05-25, and it told the reader to hand-bump both files, which is
now exactly the wrong instruction. Rewritten, with a Versioning section
that says plainly that editing the patch number does nothing and why the
key is commit time rather than a count. ci-requirements.md drops the third
packaging.sh consumer and names every job that needs full history. Root
README no longer claims the extension is signed on main only.

bvandeusen cd5444e3ae ci(extension): derive the version from commit TIME, not commit count (#3092)
Rule 149: an artifact's ordering key must be time-derived, never a commit
count. packaging.sh's cmd_patch was a count.

Why that matters here rather than in the abstract. A count is per-branch:
dev and main count different histories of the SAME code. Today only main
signs, so nothing has ordered the two against each other and the fault is
invisible. The moment dev also publishes an extension, the two versions
order by which branch accumulated more commits rather than by which is
newer — and a squash-merge makes it permanent, because main gains one
commit where dev gained five. dev then climbs away from main and a dev
install can never cross back.

That is Roundtable's 2026-08-24 incident (Scribe #2993) in a different
repo: their versionCode was the branch's commit count, and it produced a
channel you could enter and not leave. Measured on this repo today the
old formula gives main=23, dev=24 — one apart, which is exactly how the
inversion stays invisible until it strands somebody.

New formula: minutes since 2020-01-01 of the LATEST commit touching a
packaged extension file. Same anchor and unit Roundtable settled on.

Commit time, not build time, and the difference is load-bearing:

  - stable while the extension is unchanged, so the ext-<version>
    signature cache still hits and AMO is called once per extension
    CHANGE rather than once per push. Build-time minutes would re-sign
    on every push and never let two channels share a signature.
  - after a merge, main sees the same commit and derives the same
    number, so :latest reuses the signature :dev already produced for
    byte-identical code. Same code, same version, one signing.
  - monotonic: max() over a set that only gains members. Verified
    across all 24 extension-touching commits, zero non-monotonic steps.
  - reproducible from any checkout.

Derives 1.0.3499884 on dev, 1.0.3465860 on main — both far above the
last hand-set 1.0.11, so milestone 271's backfill guard is satisfied by
construction rather than by an offset.

Still shadow-only: nothing reads the derived value yet. Both shadow
steps log it, and ci.yml's runs on dev too, so both channels' numbers
are visible — that is the pair that has to stay ordered. Prior shadow
observations describe the OLD formula and prove nothing about this one,
so the window restarts; ci.yml says so at the step.

New requirement recorded in ci-requirements.md: a depth-1 clone derives
a wrong, too-low value rather than failing, so fetch-depth: 0 is
load-bearing wherever packaging.sh version is called.

Claude 1c6452e10e ci(extension): shadow the derived version + verify real XPI contents
CI / lint (push) Successful in 3s
CI / extension-version (push) Successful in 3s
CI / frontend-build (push) Successful in 21s
extension / lint (push) Failing after 28s
CI / backend-lint-and-test (push) Successful in 47s
CI / integration (push) Successful in 4m1s
Milestone #271 steps 2 and 3. Neither changes what gets published.

STEP 2 -- shadow mode.

build.yml's sign-extension and ci.yml's extension-version guard now log the
version that WOULD be derived from git history alongside the hand-maintained
one. Nothing reads the derived value, and neither site can fail because of it.

This exists because `web-ext sign` is one-shot per version: AMO 409s on a
repeat, so a wrong formula burns a real version number that cannot be
reclaimed. Comparing the two across real builds is the only way to validate it
at zero cost. sign-extension runs on main only, so main pushes are the sole
source of truth for whether the derived number moves exactly when the shipped
extension changes -- the dev-side log is a convenience, not the evidence.

sign-extension now checks out with fetch-depth: 0. The derived version is a
commit count and a depth-1 clone cannot produce one.

STEP 3 -- XPI content verification.

Every other packaging assertion checks our declaration against itself. This is
the first that asks web-ext what it ACTUALLY wrote into the archive.

That assumption was both unverified and fragile: `test/**` only survives to
web-ext because callers `set -f` before substituting it, so losing that
quoting would silently start shipping dev files with no other signal. The step
builds the XPI and asserts test/, scripts/, vitest.config.js, package.json,
package-lock.json, README.md and node_modules are absent -- and, because an
over-matching exclusion would break the extension at runtime rather than at
build time, that manifest.json, all four lib/*.js and every UI directory are
present.

unzip is installed only when missing; node:24-bookworm-slim may not carry it.

Milestone #271 step 1. Groundwork for deriving the extension version from git;
no behavior change yet -- nothing consumes `version` so far.

"Which files end up in the XPI" was stated in two places and about to become
three. Three hand-kept copies of one fact is what allowed #2397, where the
publish path could republish a stale XPI because its cache key had no link to
the content it stood for.

New extension/scripts/packaging.sh holds the single declaration and exposes:
  ignore       web-ext --ignore-files values
  pathspec     :(exclude)extension/... for git
  version      <MAJOR.MINOR from manifest>.<commit count over packaged files>
  major-minor  /  patch

Consumers now delegate instead of restating it:
- extension/package.json -- all four web-ext scripts
- .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml -- the extension-version guard's exclusions
- (step 4) the rev-list that derives the version

scripts/** joins the non-packaged set; the script must not ship to users.

Two shell hazards, both load-bearing:

The script runs `set -euf`. Its lists are iterated with deliberate word
splitting, and without -f the shell ALSO globs them -- invoking `pathspec`
from a directory where test/ exists (exactly how ci.yml calls it) would expand
`test/**` into the individual spec files and silently stop covering anything
added later. A caller's own `set -f` cannot prevent this: the script is a
separate sh process and does not inherit it.

Callers additionally need their own `set -f` for the substituted RESULT, which
is a different expansion. version.spec.js asserts every --ignore-files caller
sets it, that the pathspec comes through with `test/**` literal and no
.spec.js paths, and that neither consumer has reinstated a hardcoded list --
the easy future regression is "simplifying" by inlining one again.

Verified: all five subcommands plus the usage/exit-2 path. Derived version on
main (8300029) is 1.0.19, matching dev. Last published is 1.0.10, so the
eventual cutover moves strictly upward and needs no offset -- Firefox refuses
downgrades. (An earlier note recorded 18; that was measured against a stale
origin/main from before the PR #234 merge.)

extension/ had no test harness at all -- web-ext lint was the only signal, so
the URL-normalization fix in 8214afe shipped with nothing exercising it.

Adds vitest (mirroring frontend/vitest.config.js) and three specs:

- url.spec.js       normalizeApiUrl / webRootFromApiUrl, including the #2393
                    regression: instance-root input must reach /api/credentials,
                    idempotence, trailing-slash and whitespace handling, and
                    that empty input never yields a bare "/api" (which
                    isConfigured() would read as configured).
- platforms.spec.js getPlatformFromUrl / isArtistPage, pinning the #1485
                    regression -- all three Patreon creator URL shapes
                    (bare, /c/, /cw/) plus inner pages, with nav pages
                    excluded -- and table-integrity checks.
- version.spec.js   manifest.json and package.json versions in lockstep,
                    AMO-safe version format, and url.js ordered before api.js
                    in background.scripts (classic scripts share one scope, so
                    a reorder is a runtime ReferenceError with no build signal).

Specs load lib/*.js by evaluating the real file as a classic script
(test/helpers/loadLib.js) instead of adding module.exports shims to production
code that would never run in the browser. The suite therefore exercises exactly
the bytes packaged into the XPI.

Two packaging consequences, both handled:

- web-ext would otherwise bundle test/ and vitest.config.js INTO the XPI;
  both are now in --ignore-files across all four web-ext scripts.
- ci.yml's extension-version guard must ignore the same paths, or editing a
  spec would demand a pointless version bump. The dangerous drift direction is
  the opposite one -- a guard exclusion for a file that DOES ship would let a
  real change pass unnoticed -- so version.spec.js asserts every :(exclude) in
  ci.yml appears in --ignore-files.

extension.yml also triggers on ci.yml now, since version.spec.js reads it.
