RepoDNA 1.3.1

A release about the web version, which now analyzes repositories itself. Choose or drop a
folder or a .zip or .tar.gz archive, and RepoDNA analyzes it right in your browser,
with its analysis built as WebAssembly: nothing to install and nothing uploaded, though
without Git history. The web version also makes reports and Project DNA cards, and keeps
working offline once opened. The same program is on npm as @sanskarin/repodna-wasm,
RepoDNA has an official GitHub Action, the command line and the desktop app run on
Windows on Arm, and the desktop app saves reports and cards better.

Added

• Analysis in the web version: Analyze a repository in this browser on the start page
  takes a folder, or a .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, or .tgz archive, and a profile, and a
  folder or an archive dropped anywhere on the page is analyzed too. The start page shows
  the stages as they run, the files done, and the time taken, with Stop. The analysis
  opens like an analysis file and is kept with the recent analyses. Files are read in the
  page only when the analysis needs them, so files that .gitignore excludes are never
  read; the repository's own repodna.toml applies, and Git history, which browsers
  cannot read, is left out.
• In the web version, Reports & export makes the HTML and Markdown reports of an open
  analysis, with a theme and a privacy preset, and shows its Project DNA card, with
  downloads as SVG and PNG, by the same code as repodna report and repodna card.
• The web version keeps working without a connection once opened: a service worker keeps
  the page, its files, and the demo, and the analysis program once it has been used. It
  keeps no analyses, and repodna serve and the desktop app do not use it.
• @sanskarin/repodna-wasm, on npmjs.com and GitHub Packages: RepoDNA's analysis, reports,
  and cards as WebAssembly, for Node.js and browsers on any system.
  npx @sanskarin/repodna-wasm analyze . analyzes a folder or an archive without a native
  program, and its JavaScript API runs the program on files in a browser.
• repodna-1.3.1-wasm32-wasip1.zip with each release: the same program for WASI
  runtimes such as wasmtime.
• An official GitHub Action: uses: sanskarIN/RepoDNA@v1.3.1
  installs the release on any runner, checked against its checksums, analyzes the
  repository once, adds the summary to the run's page and the findings as annotations,
  keeps the analysis and, when asked, the full report, and fails at the severity you
  choose, against a baseline if you give one.
• Windows on Arm: repodna-1.3.1-aarch64-pc-windows-msvc.zip, the desktop installers
  RepoDNA_1.3.1_arm64_en-US.msi and RepoDNA_1.3.1_arm64-setup.exe, and the npm
  package @sanskarin/repodna-win32-arm64, which @sanskarin/repodna installs there.
• The desktop app saves the Project DNA card from its own panel, as SVG or PNG, light or
  dark as its preview shows it.
• Print this view, or save it as PDF in the command palette (Ctrl/Cmd + K), for the
  desktop app, which has no print menu, and wherever Ctrl+P opens files instead.

Changed

• The desktop app names saved reports after the analysis, such as
  repodna-widget-2026-10-10.html, instead of repodna-report.html, and the report folder
  repodna-widget-2026-10-10-report.
• The menus that choose an analysis profile name the profiles, and the chosen profile's
  description shows under them.
• With one thread, discovery walks the repository without starting a parallel walk.
• Analyses made with WebAssembly record their platform as wasi and wasm.
• The security policy of the web interface, in its page, repodna serve, the web image,
  and @sanskarin/repodna-web, allows compiling WebAssembly ('wasm-unsafe-eval'), and
  the web image and the npm server send .wasm files with their type.

Fixed

• In the desktop app, saving the full report folder replaced the report of another
  repository saved in the same folder before. Each now gets a folder of its own, and a
  second one of the same analysis gets -2.
• In the desktop app, Save the DNA card saved a light card unless the dark report
  theme was chosen, whatever the card's preview showed.
• The desktop app's report buttons read Save markdown report and Save jSON
  artifact.
• The menus that choose an analysis profile were cut off in the desktop app and in narrow
  windows.

Documentation

• The web interface guide describes analyzing in the browser, reports and
  cards there, offline use, printing, and building and serving the web version with its
  analysis; a code block that ran into the next sentence is fixed.
• A guide to the GitHub Action, and the
  installation guide covers Windows on Arm, WebAssembly, and the
  new packages.
• The Privacy Policy and the privacy guide describe the
  web version's analysis and the files it keeps to work offline.
• The screenshots, promo images, and Project DNA cards of every release moved from
  docs/images and docs/media to the images branch, and the
  release pages from docs/releases to the releases-info
  branch, which also keeps each release's notes as published and its pull requests. The
  code is about 42 MB smaller to download and check out. The README, the guides, and the
  release notes show the images from the images branch, and the release steps add each
  version's images and pages to these branches.
• A page for 1.3.0 on the releases-info branch, with its
  downloads.
• The README, the architecture and development guides, and the roadmap describe the
  WebAssembly analysis, the new packages, and the Action.
• Screenshots of 1.3.1 on a desktop, a
  phone, and in the desktop app, now also of the web version analyzing in the browser,
  and the README and the guides show them; the
  media kit has 1.3.1 promo images and Project DNA
  cards.

Screenshots

Every screenshot of this release is in screenshots/v1.3.1, and its promo images and Project DNA cards are in the media kit.

The binaries are not code-signed, so macOS and Windows ask for confirmation the first time they start; see the installation guide.
