The rail used to write releases/open-brainy.json (and, before that,
also carried the product engine's releases/brainy.json) in this repo.
It now clones (or refreshes a cached clone of) soulcraftlabs/releases on
The Source, prepends the derived entry to open-brainy.json there
(replacing any entry for the same version so a re-run is idempotent),
and pushes main directly. Any failure — clone, shape validation, commit,
or a rejected push — exits non-zero naming the cure; nothing is ever
skipped.

Both wall files are gone from this repo — the shared repo is the one
home HQ reads. --dry-run derives and prints the entry without touching
any clone or remote. Tests point --remote/--cache-dir at a throwaway
local bare repo and cache dir, never the real ones.

/**
* @module scripts/wall-entry
* @description The releases-wall entry, made mechanical. The fleet's HQ page
* reads one public JSON per product (releases/<product>.json shape
* {product, entries:[{version, date, headline, items, url, thumb}], history}).
* Those entries were hand-written after every release; this script is the
* one door that composes one, so it never has to be typed by hand again.
* reads one public JSON per product from the ONE releases repo on The Source
* (soulcraftlabs/releases, files <product>.json at its root shape
* {product, entries:[{version, date, headline, items, url, thumb?}]}), at
* https://source.soulcraft.com/soulcraftlabs/releases/raw/branch/main/<product>.json.
* Those entries were hand-written after every release, then briefly written
* into this repo's own releases/<product>.json; this script is the one door
* that composes an entry and lands it in the shared repo, so it is never
* hand-written and never forked across repos again.
*
* Two modes:
*
* 1. Generate + write in place (default):
* 1. Generate + publish (default):
* node wall-entry.mjs --product <p> --version <v> --date <YYYY-MM-DD> \
* --from-changelog <CHANGELOG.md> [--file releases/<p>.json]
* --from-changelog <CHANGELOG.md>
* Derives an entry from the CHANGELOG.md entry for <v> (headline = the
* entry's first bullet, items = every bullet, trimmed of its trailing
* commit hash), prepends it to --file (default releases/<product>.json,
* newest first), refusing by name if <v> is already present, and
* validates the whole file's shape + ordering before and after writing.
* Both engines run this identically, each against its own repo's
* releases/<product>.json the wall file always lives beside the
* CHANGELOG it is derived from, never in another repo.
* commit hash), then:
* - clones (or, if a cached clone already exists, fetches and resets)
* the releases repo into a local cache directory,
* - prepends the entry to <cache>/<p>.json, newest first replacing
* any existing entry for the same version so a re-run is idempotent,
* - validates the file's shape before and after,
* - commits the change as "chore(wall): <p> <v>" and pushes main.
* A failure at any step (clone, validation, commit, push, a
* non-fast-forward remote) exits non-zero naming the cure. Nothing is
* ever skipped the wall either lands correctly or the release fails.
*
* 2. Validate only (--check):
* node wall-entry.mjs --check --file <releases/p.json>
* Validates the file's exact key set (top-level and per-entry), field
* types, and strict-descending semver ordering with no duplicates.
* Read-only; never writes. Exit 0 = clean, exit 1 = named violations
* printed to stderr.
* 2. Dry run:
* node wall-entry.mjs --dry-run --product <p> --version <v> \
* --date <YYYY-MM-DD> --from-changelog <CHANGELOG.md>
* Derives the entry exactly as above and prints it, along with the file
* it would be written to, but touches no clone and no remote usable
* from a fresh checkout with no cache and no network.
*
* No dependencies CHANGELOG parsing, semver comparison, and JSON shape
* checking are all hand-rolled below.
* 3. Validate only (--check):
* node wall-entry.mjs --check --file <path/to/product.json>
* Validates an arbitrary wall file's exact key set (top-level and
* per-entry), field types, and strict-descending semver ordering with
* no duplicates. Read-only; never writes. Exit 0 = clean, exit 1 =
* named violations printed to stderr.
*
* The remote and the local cache directory are each overridable
* (--remote / --cache-dir, or WALL_ENTRY_RELEASES_REMOTE /
* WALL_ENTRY_RELEASES_CACHE_DIR) so tests can point at a throwaway local
* bare repo and a throwaway cache directory never the real remote or the
* real developer cache.
*
* No dependencies beyond the system `git` binary CHANGELOG parsing,
* semver comparison, and JSON shape checking are all hand-rolled below.
