Chapter 13: tools, the helpers backstage

Nothing in this folder is part of the site. These are the things that help build it, run it on a laptop, and decide how it should behave. Two of them are small shell scripts with one job each; the third, eval/, is a whole program and gets the next chapter.

Aside. Why does a dev server need a script to report its own exits? Because wrangler's wrapper exits with status 0 when the runtime under it is killed (measured 2026-10-02), and pitchfork, which supervises it, only restarts something that failed. So wrangler-dev treats any exit nobody asked for as a failure, and pitchfork brings it back.

For the people who maintain it

Path	What
eval/	Picks the LLM, and checks the eight questions Jev is asked first. Chapter 14.
wrangler-dev	The Worker under `wrangler dev`, for pitchfork: it reports an exit nobody asked for as a failure, so pitchfork restarts it.
devshell-root	Registers the owner's devshell as a nix garbage-collection root, so a collection does not make the next `nix develop` rebuild pitchfork. From `~/aifleet`.
