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.)

FabledCurator Firefox Extension
Self-hosted Firefox extension that pushes session cookies from supported platforms (Patreon, SubscribeStar, Hentai-Foundry, Discord, Pixiv, DeviantArt) into FabledCurator, and lets you add a creator as a Source from their page in one click.
Install (operator)
The signed XPI is bundled into the FC Docker image. Open FC → Settings → Maintenance → Browser extension → click "Install Firefox extension". Firefox shows its native install prompt. After installing, open the extension's options page (about:addons → FabledCurator → Preferences) and paste in the FC URL + extension API key shown on the same card.
Develop
cd extension/
npm install --no-save # web-ext only
npm run lint # web-ext lint
npm run start # launches Firefox with extension loaded
npm run build # unsigned XPI in web-ext-artifacts/
Smoke checklist (after every release that touches extension/**)

- Cookie export: log into patreon.com, click Patreon card → "X cookies exported"
- Discord token: open discord.com, click Discord card → "Token captured"
- Pixiv OAuth: click Pixiv card → login redirects, token stored
- Add as source: visit patreon.com/, click floating button → toast
- Subscriptions list: popup → "Sources" tab → list renders
- Check now: click play icon on source row → no error toast
Release
Bump manifest.json + package.json SemVer (both files) and commit
under extension/**. The .forgejo/workflows/extension.yml workflow
runs web-ext sign on main, commits the signed XPI to
frontend/public/extension/, and the next FC server build bundles it
into the Docker image.
