fix: rebuild the docs mirror when its release data has moved on - #49

Conversation
A channel is decided from release data, so a mirror built from an older snapshot documents a release line that has since moved on. Reusing it publishes a channel decision nobody made, and check:projects then reports the missing channel as drift: zodsharp's prerelease channel was withheld on a 2.1.0 / 2.0.0-prerelease.28 vintage while the cache in hand carried 2.4.2 stable with 3.0.0-prerelease.2 in flight. The manifest now records the release data it was aggregated from (schema 3), and hasCurrentDocsMirror refuses a mirror whose vintage differs from the cache. A missing release dataset is also an observation rather than a blocker, so an absent cache stops masquerading as a docs defect.
The page switcher rendered the channels as pill links and labelled a branch-pinned channel with its branch name, so ZodSharp read `Live 2.4.2` and `Prerelease main`: a reader could not tell which version the prerelease pages actually described. - the resolved channel now carries the version its line ships: a `prerelease` channel that follows a branch is labelled with the newest published prerelease (`Prerelease 3.0.0-prerelease.2`), while a live channel that fell back to a branch and a commit SHA keep their ref, because neither names a version - the switcher is a native <details> drop-down instead of pills: the summary names the channel being read, the menu lists every version, the current one carries aria-current, and the ref is each option tooltip. No JavaScript, and every option stays a real link - the sidebar groups and the prerelease notice pick the same labels up, and ADR 0009 records the rule - unit tests pin the label rule (including the SHA case); a dist test asserts the drop-down, the version label and the branch tooltip
ZodSharp's prerelease channel is withheld the moment a stable release catches up with that line, and that is a real scenario: when 3.0.0 ships, the switcher has to disappear rather than advertise a version that is no longer published. The dist suite assumed two channels everywhere, so the promoted world would have failed CI on a release. The channel block now derives its expectations from the docs cache. While the line is in flight it asserts both trees, the drop-down and its version labels; once the channel is withheld it asserts the promoted shape instead — no switcher or prerelease link anywhere in the UI, no versions counter on /docs/, and every retired URL served as a noindex meta-refresh redirect that keeps the page slug. Verified in both worlds against a real build: in flight (35 pass, 2 skipped) and promoted (34 pass, 3 skipped; simulated by retiring the 3.0.0-prerelease.2 line in a copy of the release cache).

Why
The PR #48 run that failed reported:
The mirror's own warning explained it —
stable 2.1.0 has caught up with 2.0.0-prerelease.28— whilethe live releases were
v3.0.0-prerelease.2(prerelease) andv2.4.2(latest stable). A prereleasewas in flight, so the channel had to exist; the mirror had been aggregated from an older snapshot of
release data. One process, two vintages:
aggregateDocsread the memoised index (the committedfixture) before
syncReleasesfetched live data.That specific mechanism is already fixed on
mainbypublishReleaseData(thed35156acommit foldedinto #48), and
mainis green — I re-ran the whole chain to confirm. This PR closes the two holes thefailure exposed.
What changed
A mirror now records the release data it was built from.
DocsManifestgainsreleaseRetrievedAt, andDOCS_MANIFEST_SCHEMAgoes to 3. The manifest already carriessyncedAt,which only says when the mirror was written; the vintage says what it was written from, and only
the second is what a channel decision depends on.
hasCurrentDocsMirrorrefuses a mirror from a different vintage. Previously "current" meant "themanifest parses with the current schema", so a mirror from any age counted as current. That is how a
stale channel decision gets published and then reported as drift by
check:projects.A missing release dataset is an observation, not a blocker. When
data === null,check-projectsused to fall through to
fail, reporting a release-data problem againstdocs.channels— pointingthe reviewer at the manifest and the project's docs, the two things that were fine.
