Viktor Vaczi 7edfade53c feat(site): move the marketing site from Vercel to Cloudflare Pages
www.pcbjam.com was the last piece of the stack on Vercel. It is now a
Cloudflare Pages project (pcbjam-site) deployed by deploy-site.yml on
every push to main touching site/** — content must not wait for a
release tag.

The Astro adapter is gone entirely: the build is pure static and the one
dynamic route, /api/waitlist, is a Pages Function. Going adapter-free
(rather than swapping in @astrojs/cloudflare, which has dropped Pages
support and only targets Workers) removes three problems at once — no
Astro/adapter major-version coupling, Footer.astro's build-time execSync
keeps working because prerendering stays in Node, and image optimisation
stays plain build-time sharp with no Cloudflare Images binding.

Verified against a real Pages runtime (wrangler pages dev): 21/21 parity
probes pass, versus 19/21 on live Vercel. The scripted runbook is in
deploy/site/ — every mutating step is dry-run by default.

Four behaviour differences were found by measurement and are handled here:

- The blog post's COOP/COEP was already broken in production. vercel.json
  scoped the headers to the bare URL, but the page's own canonical is the
  trailing-slash form, which served 200 with no isolation headers — so
  search arrivals lost SharedArrayBuffer and the embedded Gerber viewer
  degraded. public/_headers covers both forms.

- Pages answers unknown URLs with the homepage at HTTP 200 when the
  output has no 404.html — a soft-404 that invites indexing junk URLs as
  the homepage. Hence src/pages/404.astro.

- Vercel's edge refused cross-site form POSTs ("Cross-site POST form
  submissions are forbidden"); Pages does not, and a cross-site <form>
  submit needs no CORS permission to be sent, so the allowlist cannot
  stop it. The Function reproduces the guard; JSON posts stay exempt as
  that is demo.pcbjam.com's allowlisted path.

- Cache-Control: immutable on /_astro/* came from the Vercel adapter's
  generated route config, so it is now an explicit _headers rule.

Secrets move to `wrangler pages secret put --project-name pcbjam-site`
(RESEND_API_KEY, RESEND_SEGMENT_ID, WAITLIST_FROM_EMAIL);
WAITLIST_ALLOWED_ORIGINS stays unset so the allowlist stays in code.
Local dev reads .dev.vars, now gitignored — the root repo's **/.dev.vars
does not cover a nested git repo.

privacy.md and cookies.md named Vercel as a GDPR Art. 28 processor; those
mentions are removed and the existing Cloudflare entry widened to cover
website hosting.

Gerber viewer demo

KiCad's gerbview compiled to WebAssembly, embedded (lazily) in the landing page and the blog post. Click → it streams the WASM and renders the bundled tiny_tapeout board in-browser.

The WASM is not kept here — boot.js loads it from the versioned CDN (cdn.pcbjam.com), the same artifacts the demo/app deploy publishes. It resolves gerbview's immutable, content-addressed folder at runtime from the release manifest, so this page always shows the latest deployed gerbview with no manual sync:

manifest-latest.json  ->  { tag }
manifest-<tag>.json   ->  tools.gerbview -> <ver>
base = https://cdn.pcbjam.com/wasm/gerbview/<ver>

See docs/features/demo-deploy/0001-wasm-cdn-versioning.md (in pcbjam-private) for the CDN layout, manifest shapes, and header matrix.

Files here (site/public/gerber-demo/)

Path What it does
index.html The iframe/standalone target — minimal page with the #main-window / #window-container the WASM needs.
boot.js Boot harness: resolves gerbview's CDN folder from the manifest, configures Emscripten Module, seeds KiCad config, preloads the board into MEMFS, auto-opens it via Module.arguments, and injects wx.js → wx-dom.js → gerbview.js from the CDN.
board/ The tiny_tapeout Gerber layers (committed) the demo opens.
poster.png Static fallback shown to browsers that can't run the live viewer.

The folder is cross-origin to this page (which is COEP require-corp); the CDN sends Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy: cross-origin + Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, and the cross-origin pthread worker is loaded via a same-origin blob: importScripts shim (new Worker(<cross-origin URL>) is a SecurityError). This mirrors the standalone editor's web/standalone/src/wasm/boot.ts.

Path What it does
src/sections/GerberDemoSection.astro The landing-page showcase: a poster + launch button that opens /gerber-demo/ in a new tab (the landing itself is not cross-origin isolated).
src/components/GerberDemo.astro The blog embed: lazy click-to-load iframe, cross-origin-isolation reload guard, feature-detect + poster fallback.
astro.config.mjs + src/middleware.ts Dev cross-origin-isolation headers (COOP/COEP require-corp).
public/_headers Prod COOP/COEP on Cloudflare Pages, scoped to the blog post + /gerber-demo/ routes (both URL forms of the post).

Dev overrides

boot.js reads query params so you can point it elsewhere without a rebuild:

Param Effect
?tag=<tag> Pin a specific release instead of following manifest-latest.json.
?cdn=<root> Swap the CDN root (e.g. a local mirror serving manifest-*.json + gerbview/<ver>/).
?base=<folder> Use a tool folder verbatim (e.g. a fresh local build) — skips manifest resolution.

The live viewer needs SharedArrayBuffer + WebGL2 (Chrome/Edge/Firefox, Safari 15.2+); other browsers get poster.png.

Updating KICAD_VERSION_DIR

boot.js seeds KiCad config under a version dir (currently "10.0") to suppress the first-run wizard. It must match the deployed build's GetMajorMinorVersion(). If a future deploy bumps KiCad's major.minor, update the KICAD_VERSION_DIR constant in boot.js (same coupling as web/standalone/src/wasm/constants.ts).
