mr.zeroandClaude Fable 5 3d30d4ff2f Add CI builder image and use it in the pipeline
builder.Dockerfile bakes the build step's dependencies into
git.teletype.hu/internal/* so the pipeline no longer installs
packages on every run.

# tic80-tools
CI/CD templates for [TIC-80](https://tic80.com) (Lua) game projects.
- `example-makefile.make` — project Makefile: local dev targets
(`build`, `minify`, `watch`, `lint`, `docs`, `import_assets`,
`export_assets`, `clean`, `install_precommit_hook`) plus the
Woodpecker pipeline targets (`ci-version`, `ci-lint`, `ci-minify`,
`ci-docs`, `ci-export`, `ci-artifact`, `ci-update`).
- `example-woodpecker.yaml` — Woodpecker pipeline: version → lint →
minify → docs → export (TIC-80 Pro image) → artifact (scp to the
droparea) → update (calls the teletypegames `/update` endpoint with
`platform=tic80`).
- `example-tasks.json` — VS Code `.vscode/tasks.json` with the common
dev tasks: **Run TIC80** (default build task, `Cmd+Shift+B`),
**Build & Run TIC80**, **Export assets** and **Make build**.
## Usage in a game repo
1. Copy `example-makefile.make` to `Makefile` and set `PROJECT`
(the cartridge is built as `$(PROJECT).lua` from the file list in
`$(PROJECT).inc`).
2. Copy `example-woodpecker.yaml` to `.woodpecker.yaml` and add the
`droparea_ssh_password` / `update_secret_key` secrets in Woodpecker.
3. Copy `example-tasks.json` to `.vscode/tasks.json` and replace the
cart name (`impostor.lua`) with `$(PROJECT).lua`.
The pipeline uploads `$(PROJECT)-$(VERSION).lua`, `.tic`, `.html.zip`
and `-docs.zip` to the droparea, then triggers
`/update?platform=tic80&name=$(PROJECT)&version=$(VERSION)`.
## Builder image
The export step uses the TIC-80 Pro image
(`git.teletype.hu/internal/tic80pro`, built from the
`tic80pro-dockerfile` repo). For the lint / minify / docs steps,
`builder.Dockerfile` bakes Lua 5.4 + luacheck + ldoc + zip into
`git.teletype.hu/internal/tic80-luatools`, so the pipeline no longer
runs luarocks (and a C compiler install) on every run:
```sh
docker build --platform linux/amd64 -f builder.Dockerfile \
-t git.teletype.hu/internal/tic80-luatools:latest .
docker push git.teletype.hu/internal/tic80-luatools:latest
```
Detailed documentation lives on the wiki: `/development/tic80`.
