| +LIVE https://todo-spinel.bfj.oncarlos.com c4b39d6 |
| + |
| +## Where it stands |
| + |
| +- The shared suite passes on the live host: 67 passed, 3 skipped (the two |
| + JS-only edit tests with JS off, and the screenshot test with JS off). |
| + It passes locally too, against the x86-64 build and against the arm64 |
| + binary under qemu, both with `SPINEL_GC_STRESS=1`. |
| +- `make test` (test/run.sh, 72 curl checks of the contract, run plain and |
| + again under GC stress) passes. |
| +- `scripts/boot-check.sh dist/app-linux-arm64` passes. |
| +- `dist/app-linux-arm64` is a static aarch64 ELF, 8.8 MB, no shared |
| + libraries. |
| + |
| +## Worth knowing |
| + |
| +- **Build route.** The host Spinel compiles Ruby to C; only the C compile |
| + and static link run in the emulated arm64 root (`scripts/spinel-cross`, |
| + `scripts/arm64-cc`). Running the arm64 Spinel itself under emulation |
| + also works but took 14 minutes for hello-world, against about 3 to 5 |
| + minutes this way. Both Spinels are the same commit (`abf54280`). |
| +- **A GC bug, fixed in the tep patch.** spinelkit's `Url.parse_query` |
| + holds a decoded key in an unrooted temporary while it decodes the |
| + value. On arm64 a collection in between dropped every todo title longer |
| + than about a thousand characters (the first live deploy, 947e5fe, |
| + failed the long-title test for this reason). On x86-64 it only shows |
| + under `SPINEL_GC_STRESS=1`. `patches/2-tep-bakeoff.patch` decodes forms |
| + in C instead. Worth reporting upstream to spinelkit/tep. |
| +- **tep rewrites words inside string literals.** Its translator turns |
| + `request` into `req` even inside strings, so a 403 message reading |
| + "cross-origin request refused" came out as "cross-origin req refused". |
| + The app's strings avoid those words. |
| +- **The arm64 root** now has `libssl-dev` installed (tep's HTTP layer |
| + links OpenSSL, and the static link needs `libssl.a`; it also pulls in |
| + `-lz -lzstd`). |
| +- **One worker.** tep's server here is a single blocking process that |
| + closes each connection after its response, with a 5-second read |
| + timeout so an idle connection can't hold it. |
