Compile the API instead of running its TypeScript in production.

The unit's ExecStart named src/index.ts, so every start depended on the host
having Node 22.18 or newer for native type stripping. A deploy onto a host with
Node 20 met ERR_UNKNOWN_FILE_EXTENSION, exited in under a second, and was
restarted 464 times over fifteen hours with nothing anywhere going red.

api/tsconfig.json now emits to api/dist. The source keeps its explicit .ts import
specifiers, which is what makes `node --watch src/index.ts` work in development;
rewriteRelativeImportExtensions turns them into .js on the way out, so what runs
in production is ordinary ESM that any Node from 20.18 up will start.

`pnpm build` builds shared, then api, then web. `pnpm dev` is unchanged.

deploy/ is tracked rather than ignored: the unit files are the thing an operator
copies to /etc/systemd/system, and the alert unit added next has to live
somewhere a deploy can find it.

# /etc/systemd/system/cashumints-web.service
#
# The frontend is static: `output: 'static'` in astro.config.mjs, and the whole site is
# produced ahead of time. There is no frontend build to keep alive, so this unit is a
# build rather than a daemon — one shot of `pnpm build`, which compiles shared/, renders
# a social card per mint and prerenders every page from the live API. The daemon that
# hands the result out is cashumints-site.service.
#
# Run it after a deploy:
# sudo systemctl start cashumints-web
#
# Mint pages are prerendered, so new mints and new review counts only appear at the
# next build; pair this with a .timer for the nightly rebuild. There is deliberately no
# [Install] section — a rebuild should be scheduled, not fired on every boot.

Description=Rebuild the cashumints.space static site
# Every page's data comes from the API over loopback, so the API has to be up.
# Requires= rather than Wants=: a dead API should abort the build, not replace a good
# site with an empty one.

# Browser-facing origin. Empty means same origin: islands fetch /api/... and nginx

# After= orders the start; it does not wait for the port to accept connections. At boot
# the API is still opening its database and probing, so block until it reports healthy
# rather than letting the first fetch die on ECONNREFUSED. /api/health answers 503 until
# it is genuinely ready, and curl -f treats that as a failure, so the loop keeps waiting.

# `astro build` empties dist before it writes, so the site server cannot read dist
# directly — a nightly rebuild would be a nightly minute of 404s. It serves this copy
# instead, and the copy is only touched once a build has succeeded: a failed build
# leaves the previous site up rather than replacing it with a half-written one, which is
# the same reason Requires=cashumints.service is above.
#
# --delay-updates stages the changed files and renames them in at the end, so the window
# where the tree is a mix of two builds is a rename rather than a whole transfer, and
# --delete-after keeps removals from landing before their replacements. Unchanged files
# — every hashed asset and card, which is nearly all of it — are not touched at all.
