Republish the board when the board's own code changes - #263
Merged
Conversation
#262 changed the hero and merged green, and the published page kept showing the old emoji for hours: `brain_board.yml` republishes on the 05:30 cron, a manual dispatch, or a `state/devbox_board.json` push — and a renderer change is none of those. The repo said one thing and the live page showed another, which is the one thing a morning surface must never do. `board/**` and `config/policy.yaml` join the push paths: the two inputs that decide what the page looks like and what vocabulary it speaks. The board is cheap to rebuild, so rebuild it when it changes rather than waiting a day. The daily cron stays — the board's content is time-varying, so most refreshes still have nothing to do with a commit.

#262 changed the hero and merged green, and the published board kept showing the old emoji for hours afterwards — long enough for a human to report it as a bug twice.
The cause isn't the renderer.
brain_board.ymlrepublishes on three things: the 05:30 cron, a manual dispatch, and astate/devbox_board.jsonpush. A change to the board's own code is none of them. So the repo said one thing and the live page showed another, which is the one failure mode a morning surface cannot have.board/**andconfig/policy.yamljoin the push paths — the two inputs that decide what the page looks like and what vocabulary it speaks. The board is cheap to rebuild, so rebuild it when it changes rather than waiting for tomorrow. The daily cron stays: the board's content is time-varying, so most refreshes still have nothing to do with a commit.The live page is already current — I dispatched the workflow by hand (run #10) when the gap was reported. This is so the next renderer change doesn't need someone to notice.
