zk e363bd2532 docs: migrate from mkdocs to mdbook (#1558)
* docs: migrate from mkdocs to mdbook

- Rename old mkdocs docs/ to old-docs/ for reference
- Set up new docs/ with mdbook (book.toml + src/ tree)
- Mirror full nav structure from mkdocs.yml into SUMMARY.md
- Add Justfile-docs with docs-serve, docs-build, docs-check, docs-install recipes
- Import Justfile-docs from root Justfile
- Rewrite .github/workflows/docs.yml: build step uses taiki-e/install-action
  to install mdbook, split into separate build + deploy jobs, PR builds
  run the check step too

* ci(docs): pin actions to SHAs, install mdbook via release binary

* ci(docs): install mdbook from apt instead of curling a release binary

* dev: replace mkdocs python stack with mdbook in dev image

* ci(docs): apt only works on Debian; restore release binary install for Ubuntu CI

* docs: fix duplicate file entries in SUMMARY.md

* docs: remove docs-install recipe

* docs: remove site-url from book.toml to fix asset loading

* dev: install mdbook from upstream release binary, not Debian apt

The Debian package (0.4.x+ds) strips bundled font assets, leaving the
built site without fonts/fonts.css. Use the upstream tarball (same as CI)
so the theme is complete. Handles x86_64 and aarch64.

* docs: vendor mdbook tarballs in dev/mdbook/, install from there

Dockerfile.dev uses COPY + tar to install the right arch at build time.
CI extracts the x86_64 tarball directly from the checkout.
No network access required for either — and no stripped-fonts Debian package.

* fix: unwritten

Score ID implementation

Score IDs exist to dedupe scores when a user re-submits the same scores. This happens frequently with file/ and api/ Import Types, as they typically resubmit the same scores.

If a user only got a score once, we don't want to store it twice.

Sadly, we can't depend on things like timestamps to assert whether or whether not we've saw a score before. Many services alter/tamper their timestamps such that they're unreliable.

!!! example E-Amusement IIDX CSVs will change the timestamp of every single score when a new version comes out to the second the user created their new account.


Hashing

The score ID is created by joining the following properties:

  • The userID that got this score
  • The chartID that this score was on
  • All Provided Metrics for this GPT
  • Any Optional Metrics that have been marked as partOfScoreID

and then hashing them with SHA256.

This is then prefixed with T, and returned.

Clobbering

Since a scoreID isn't necessarily all of the possible statistics for a score, it's possible for users to "clobber" their scores, by importing a score without as many pieces of info (i.e. no judgements), then trying to import that same score with judgements later will not work, as the scoreID sees it as a duplicate.

See Clobbering.
