The 'skip if outputs newer than every HTML' check could never fire: stamp-build-time.py rewrites every page's footer AFTER embed.py runs, so the comparison was always false and the full MiniLM paragraph pass (and model load) ran on every build (AUDIT §4.3). Replaced with the same content-hash cache the page pass already had — generalized load/save_vec_cache, keyed by sha256 of the input text, invalidated on model/revision/dim change. A no-change rerun now does no model loads: measured 97s cold -> 4.8s warm. Also strips section.footnotes from extraction: the new no-JS fallback duplicates each sidenote's text at document end, which would double footnotes in search results and skew page similarity.

README.md
levineuwirth.org
Personal site of Levi Neuwirth — essays, blog posts, poetry, fiction, and music.
Built with Hakyll and Pandoc,
with a custom build system in build/ and a Haskell + JS + Python toolchain.
Quickstart
make build # one-shot production build into _site/
make dev # dev build (drafts visible) + local server on :8000
make watch # Hakyll live-reload dev server (drafts visible)
make clean # cabal run site -- clean
make deploy # clean → build → sign → push → rsync to VPS
make build always runs make clean implicitly when invoked from make deploy.
For day-to-day work, prefer make dev (which serves the site on
http://localhost:8000) or make watch (Hakyll's live-reload preview server,
which rebuilds on save and serves the site locally).
Run make build any time you add or replace binary assets (JPEG/PNG
figures, PDFs, music assets). make dev and make watch skip the
convert-images.sh / pdf-thumbs preprocessing steps, so a fresh JPEG
will have no .webp companion and a fresh PDF will have no thumbnail
until a full make build regenerates them. Once the companions exist
they survive subsequent make dev runs.
Optional features
-
Similar-links and embeddings.
tools/embed.pyprecomputes page-level embeddings for the "Related" block. To enable:uv sync # creates .venv with sentence-transformers, faiss-cpuThe build silently skips embedding when
.venvis absent. -
Client-side semantic search. Downloads a quantized ONNX model used by
static/js/semantic-search.js(run once; files are gitignored):make download-model -
Image conversion.
make buildcallstools/convert-images.shto produce.webpcompanions next to every JPEG/PNG. Requirescwebp(libwebpon Arch,webpon Debian/Ubuntu). -
PDF thumbnails.
make pdf-thumbsgenerates first-page thumbnails for PDFs instatic/papers/usingpdftoppm(poppleron Arch,poppler-utilson Debian/Ubuntu). Skipped silently when missing.
Configuration
.env (gitignored, copy from .env.example) holds the GitHub PAT and
the VPS rsync target consumed by make deploy. Never commit it.
Repository layout
build/— Haskell build system (Hakyll rules, Pandoc filters, contexts). Seebuild/Filters/for the Pandoc AST transforms (sidenotes, wikilinks, transclusion, score embedding, viz, …).content/— authored Markdown (essays, blog, poetry, fiction, music).templates/— Hakyll/Pandoc HTML templates.static/— CSS, JS, fonts, images, vendored PDF.js.tools/— Python tooling (embeddings, importers) and shell scripts.data/— generated and source data (commonplace.yaml, annotations.json, bibliographies, similar-links.json).nginx/— vhost snippets shipped to the VPS (security-headers.conf,static-assets.conf,popup-proxy.conf). The live vhost on the VPS is the source of truth; seenginx/vhost.conf.examplefor the canonical structure and the include order these snippets expect.
