Confession: my Chapter By Chapter build pipeline is a messy hodgepodge of Make, Python, Pillow, webkit2png, pandoc, Image Magick, and probably other stuff I don’t want to think about any more.
Typing make works. Usually. Well, actually, I have to type gmake because some part of my Makefile uses new GNU commands that make can’t handle.
Extra confession: it’s all stored in iCloud, not version control of any kind.
Solution: tonight I let Codex loose on it, and an hour later, the directory is organized, everything is pushed to GitLab (including source art in LFS), and that outdated webkit2png script is updated to use Playwright, and make works properly.
Oh, and everything is way more reproducible and less brittle.
Tech debt: eliminated.
