## What you need

Node.js 22 or later, pnpm 10.15.1, and write access to the private [documentation repository](https://gitea.lego-cloud.eu/eldorado-v1/documentation).

## Preview locally

```sh
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm start
```

Open the development server address printed in the terminal. The site uses the `/eldorado-v1/documentation/` base path.

## Add or change a page

Edit Markdown in `docs/`. Include `title` and `description` frontmatter and add the page ID to `sidebars.ts`. Keep the documentation’s future scope open until it is agreed.

## Validate the change

```sh
pnpm verify
pnpm typecheck
pnpm build
pnpm verify:build
```

The build fails on broken internal links. The built-output checks verify routes, locally bundled fonts, search content, and the expected site base path.

## Publish

Open a pull request for subsequent changes. Gitea Actions validates pull requests without publishing. Once a change is merged to `main`, the workflow builds and copies the site to the persistent Pages mount at `/gondor-v1-gitea-pages/eldorado-v1/documentation/`.

Check the Actions result for that exact commit, then open [the published site](https://pages.apps.lego-cloud.eu/eldorado-v1/documentation/). Pages access follows the platform’s existing authentication policy; a sign-in redirect is not a failed build.
