Artvee Gallery v0.1.0-alpha
Release Notes · v0.1.0-alpha
The first open-source-facing release. The repository is now
self-describing, has a single canonical ignore file, a privacy
surface that is machine-checked, and a public MIT license.
1. What is in this release
Documentation
README.mdrewritten as a self-contained entry point with a
live demo link, a "what is and is not included" section, an
architecture diagram, a quick-start section, and a docs index.docs/ARCHITECTURE.md— end-to-end data flow, per-script
responsibilities, generated-vs-tracked boundary, nightly
wrapper post-batch flow, public demo flow.docs/OPEN_SOURCE_BOUNDARIES.md— what ships in the repo, what
does not, why the public demo is safe, the risk surface that
is checked at release time, and a migration note for forks.docs/ROADMAP.md— past phases (P1, P2, P3A, P3B, P3C, E2E
cron verification), near-term (P3D, P3E), mid-term, long-term.docs/DEVELOPMENT.md— local dev loop, syntax checks, the
smoke flow, what not to run in dev, the readiness check,
branch model, pre-commit checklist.docs/PROJECT_STATUS.md— current phase markers and the
last-known-good nightly snapshot.docs/RELEASE_NOTES_v0.1.0-alpha.md— this file.- Existing
docs/GALLERY_*.mdfiles retained for deep dives into
data schema, local usage, public demo, and digest builder.
License
LICENSE— MIT, full standard text.
Sample data
examples/artworks.sample.json— 3 synthetic records.examples/gallery_stats.sample.json— minimal stats object.examples/digest.sample.json— minimal digest index entry.
All sample paths are relative (./assets/thumbs/...) and reference
non-existent files; the samples are shape references, not usable
artworks.
Repo hygiene
.gitignoreconsolidated; placeholders (.gitkeep) preserved for
the emptydist/,digests/,thumbs/{256,512}/,web/data/
directories.- The legacy
.gitignore.local(identical content, outdated
comment) was removed.
Wrapper path-agnosticism
scripts/artvee_nightly_wrapper.shnow derivesBASE_DIRfrom
its own location via$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/.." && pwd),
replacing the previous hardcoded$HOME/...paths.PYTHONdefaults topython3fromPATH; can be overridden by
ARTVEE_PYTHONenvironment variable.
Safety check
scripts/check_open_source_ready.py— a pure-stdlib,
read-only, exit-coded check that fails the build on:- tracked files in gitignored directories,
- path leaks (absolute home path, user-home shorthand, workspace-name substring) in non-source text files,
- real-looking secrets (
password = "...",token = "...",
secret = "..."), - tracked files > 1 MB.

The most recent nightly verification report lives at
<workspace>/reports/artvee-nightly-auto-run-verification-2026-06-12.md
in the maintainer's local workspace; it is intentionally not
committed to this repository.
3. Limitations
- The repository does not include a corpus. To exercise the
local UI shell, the user must populateimages/,metadata/,
andindex/locally. This is by design — see
docs/OPEN_SOURCE_BOUNDARIES.md. - The Telegram notifier depends on a local OpenClaw CLI as the
message bridge. Users without that bridge can simply skip the
notify step (the wrapper isolates it with|| true). - Source-code privacy is verified by code review and the readiness
check; it is not enforced by.gitignore(which is correct:
source files are tracked). - The sample data uses fictitious IDs and categories; it is not
a working subset of any real archive.
4. Next steps
See docs/ROADMAP.md § "Near-term":
- P3D — Standalone public GitHub repository: initialise, push
only the open-source surface area, configure branch protection
and a CI job that runscheck_open_source_ready.pyon every PR. - P3E — Public daily-digest page, alongside the existing
public gallery demo.
5. Acknowledgements
- Data source: artvee.com public-domain art
archive. - The local-first / open-source boundary pattern is inspired by
the standard "thin shell, fat scripts" approach for data tooling.
