feat(mods): replace packwiz with distribution-fed custom mod volume

Drop packwiz entirely. The server now loads a filtered mod subset from a
local ./server-mods volume instead of fetching a packwiz pack at boot.

New flow:
- tooling/classify-mods.py (tomllib only, no network) reads each jar's
  META-INF/neoforge.mods.toml and seeds mods-sides.json with a side
  (client|server|both; default both). Existing entries are preserved.
- mods-sides.json: committed, keyed by jar filename, hand-editable override
  surface. Initial seed: 65 both, 11 client, 0 server (76 jars).
- tooling/sync-server-mods.sh mirrors the both/server jars from
  $DISTRIBUTION_WEB_ROOT into ./server-mods/ (authoritative; prunes strays;
  halts on a missing jar). Replaces render-pack.sh.
- compose: minecraft mounts ./server-mods:/mods:ro with REMOVE_OLD_MODS=TRUE
  (itzg auto-syncs /mods -> /data/mods). Removed PACKWIZ_URL, the pack.
  extra_host (auth. kept for authlib), and depends_on caddy (drasl kept).

Both classify-mods.py and sync-server-mods.sh resolve their source dir as:
CLI arg / MODS_DIST_DIR env / $DISTRIBUTION_WEB_ROOT (in that order).

Removed: tooling/render-pack.sh + add-custom-mod.sh (packwiz tooling),
pack/ (packwiz source), custom/ (76 jars now sourced from the distribution),
the pack. caddy vhost + its mounts/alias, and the packwiz .gitignore block.

Client distribution is UNCHANGED: HeliosLauncher still installs the full
modset from distribution.json. Docs (CLAUDE.md, plan/04/05/14, runtime)
updated; plan/04-packwiz.md stubbed as superseded by plan/04-mods.md.

Curate mods from here with `packwiz modrinth add <slug>` (prefer Modrinth over CurseForge); each mod produces a `mods/<slug>.pw.toml` metadata file referencing the upstream CDN. **Client-only mods must be tagged `side = "client"`** in their `.pw.toml` so the itzg server does not pull and crash on them. After adding/removing mods run `packwiz refresh` to recompute `index.toml`. Clients and the itzg server fetch jars from the upstream CDN referenced in each `.pw.toml`. Curation is an ongoing manual task — no mods are added yet.

+# 04 — Mods (custom volume, distribution-fed)
+
+> **Supersedes `04-packwiz.md`.** packwiz is being removed. This describes the
+> replacement: the server loads mods from a filtered local volume; clients keep
+> getting the full set from the HeliosLauncher `distribution.json`.
+
+## Why drop packwiz
+
+- The packwiz index tracked only **9** mods while the real modset (76 jars) lives
+  in the distribution repo — packwiz was half-built and stale.
+- Manual packwiz curation (`.tmpl` render → `refresh` → re-hash) is the flagged
+  pain point, and a single missing file (`custom/.gitkeep`) crashlooped the
+  server (404 → installer aborts → minecraft never starts).
+- The launcher (HeliosLauncher) already distributes mods to clients via a
+  Nebula-generated `distribution.json`. That is the canonical client mod list.
+  The server just needs the same jars, minus client-only ones.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+ulicraft-distribution/dist            (another repo, = $DISTRIBUTION_WEB_ROOT)
+  servers/ulicraft-1.21.1/
+    forgemods/required/*.jar          ← 76 jars, Nebula-managed (SOURCE OF TRUTH)
+  distribution.json                   ← generated by Nebula; CLIENT install list
+        │                                     │
+        │ caddy distribution. vhost           │ HeliosLauncher reads it →
+        ▼                                     ▼ installs ALL listed mods (client)
+  guests' launcher ◄───────────────────────────────────
+
+ulicraft-server (this repo)
+  mods-sides.json        ← { "<jar>": "client|server|both" }  (committed, editable)
+  tooling/classify-mods  ← tomllib: seeds/updates mods-sides.json from jar manifests
+  tooling/sync-server-mods ← copies both+server jars from $DIST → ./server-mods/
+  server-mods/ (gitignored) ──mount──► minecraft /mods  (REMOVE_OLD_MODS=TRUE)
+```
+
+- **Client distribution: unchanged.** HeliosLauncher installs everything in
+  `distribution.json`. No packwiz, no client zip.
+- **Server: filtered subset.** Only `both` + `server` jars are copied into the
+  mounted `server-mods/`. `client`-tagged jars never reach the server.
+- **Single source of jars:** `$DISTRIBUTION_WEB_ROOT/.../forgemods/required/`.
+  This repo stores no jars — only `mods-sides.json`.
+
+## Classification — tomllib only (no Modrinth)
+
+`tooling/classify-mods.py` reads each jar's `META-INF/neoforge.mods.toml` with
+Python `tomllib` and derives a side from the **`minecraft`/`neoforge` dependency
+`side`** (the field modders use to declare a mod's environment):
+
+| manifest signal | derived side |
+|---|---|
+| `minecraft` (or `neoforge`) dep `side = "CLIENT"` | `client` |
+| dep `side = "SERVER"` | `server` |
+| dep `side = "BOTH"`, unspecified, or no manifest | `both` (default) |
+
+Output is **merged** into `mods-sides.json`: existing (human-edited) entries are
+**preserved**; only new/unknown jars get a derived default. So the file is a
+one-time seed + permanent manual override surface. New jars default to `both`
+(your chosen default) unless their manifest says otherwise.
+
+### Accuracy + the manual step (important)
+
+tomllib reliably catches **hard client-only** mods — ones that declare their
+`minecraft`/`neoforge` dep as `CLIENT` (e.g. `sodium`, `iris`). Those are exactly
+the mods that refuse/break on a dedicated server, so the must-exclude set is
+handled automatically.
+
+It will **not** auto-exclude client-*cosmetic* mods that declare `BOTH` in their
+manifest (e.g. `BetterF3`, `entityculling`, `sodium-extra`, `entity_texture_features`,
+`entity_model_features`, `ImmediatelyFast`, `drippyloadingscreen`, `melody`,
+`welcomescreen`, `Controlling`, `MouseTweaks`, `Searchables`, `tagtooltips`,
+`JustEnoughResources`, `TravelersTitles`, `BridgingMod`, `ponderjs`,
+`yeetusexperimentus`). These load on the server harmlessly (wasted RAM, no crash)
+unless you mark them `client` in `mods-sides.json`. **That manual curation is the
+"filter manually" step** — `classify-mods` seeds, you trim cosmetic-client mods.
+
+Also worth an explicit decision in the override file:
+- `CustomSkinLoader` — server doesn't need it (skins resolve via Drasl/authlib);
+  set `client` to keep it off the server.
+
+## `mods-sides.json` format
+
+```json
+{
+  "jei-1.21.1-neoforge-19.27.0.340.jar": "both",
+  "sodium-neoforge-0.8.12-alpha.4+mc1.21.1.jar": "client",
+  "ftb-essentials-neoforge-2101.1.9.jar": "both",
+  "rightclickharvest-neoforge-4.6.1+1.21.1.jar": "server"
+}
+```
+
+Key = exact jar filename (matches `forgemods/required/*.jar`). Value ∈
+`client | server | both`. Hand-edit freely; `classify-mods` won't clobber it.
+
+## Tooling
+
+### `tooling/classify-mods.py` (dev-time, no network)
+1. Enumerate `$DISTRIBUTION_WEB_ROOT/servers/ulicraft-1.21.1/forgemods/required/*.jar`.
+2. For each jar not already in `mods-sides.json`: parse manifest → derive side
+   (table above) → add entry.
+3. Report: counts per side, and **which jars were defaulted to `both`** (so you
+   know what to review). Never overwrites existing entries.
+4. Optionally warn on entries in `mods-sides.json` whose jar no longer exists.
+
+### `tooling/sync-server-mods.sh` (deploy-time, offline) — replaces `render-pack.sh`
+1. Read `mods-sides.json`.
+2. `mkdir -p server-mods`; for each `both`/`server` jar, copy from
+   `$DISTRIBUTION_WEB_ROOT/.../forgemods/required/` → `server-mods/`.
+3. Remove any `server-mods/*.jar` not currently selected (keeps it authoritative;
+   `REMOVE_OLD_MODS=TRUE` in the container also enforces this on `/data/mods`).
+4. **Halt** (non-zero exit) if a selected jar is missing from `$DIST`, or if
+   `mods-sides.json` is absent — cautious, no silent partial sync.
+
+## docker-compose.yml changes
+
+```yaml
+# remove:
+#   PACKWIZ_URL: ...
+#   extra_hosts: pack.${BASE_DOMAIN}:host-gateway   (auth. stays — authlib)
+environment:
+  MODS_FILE: ""            # ensure unset
+  REMOVE_OLD_MODS: "TRUE"  # mounted folder is authoritative
+volumes:
+  - mc_data:/data
+  - ./runtime:/extras:ro
+  - ./server-mods:/mods:ro # itzg auto-syncs /mods → /data/mods
+```
+
+`depends_on: caddy` can drop (server no longer fetches `pack.` at boot); keep
+`drasl` (authlib). `pack.` caddy vhost + the `./pack`/`./custom` mounts become
+dead — remove in the same pass.
+
+## Deploy flow (updated `plan/14`)
+
+```
+git pull --ff-only
+tooling/render-config.sh        # drasl/nmsr/etc. (unchanged)
+tooling/sync-server-mods.sh     # NEW — replaces render-pack.sh
+tooling/fetch-authlib.sh
+docker compose down --remove-orphans
+docker compose up -d --build
+```
+
+`$DISTRIBUTION_WEB_ROOT` must be present on the host (already is — caddy mounts
+it). `classify-mods.py` is a dev step run when the modset changes; it is **not**
+in the deploy path (keeps deploy offline + deterministic).
+
+## Decommission checklist (on execution)
+
+- [ ] `tooling/classify-mods.py` + generate initial `mods-sides.json` (review it).
+- [ ] `tooling/sync-server-mods.sh`.
+- [ ] compose: drop `PACKWIZ_URL`, `pack.` extra_host, `./pack`/`./custom` mounts,
+      `pack.` caddy vhost; add `server-mods` mount + `REMOVE_OLD_MODS`.
+- [ ] delete `tooling/render-pack.sh`; remove its call from docs/deploy.
+- [ ] delete `pack/` (pack.toml, index.toml, `*.pw.toml*`, `.packwizignore`,
+      CustomSkinLoader templates if duplicated in DIST) and `custom/` (jars now
+      sourced from `$DIST`).
+- [ ] `.gitignore`: drop packwiz lines; add `server-mods/`.
+- [ ] supersede `plan/04-packwiz.md`; update `05-minecraft.md`, `14-deploy.md`,
+      `CLAUDE.md` (mod source section), and the landing join steps if they still
+      reference `pack.toml`.
+- [ ] resolves the host-local divergence around `pack/` ([[cochi-host-local-divergence]]).
+
+## Open questions / risks
+
+- **Cosmetic-client mods** load on the server unless manually set `client` — RAM
+  waste, not a crash. Curate `mods-sides.json` over time.
+- **No manifest** in a jar → defaults `both`. Acceptable; review the defaulted
+  list `classify-mods` prints.
+- **Nebula regen** may rename jars (version bumps) → `mods-sides.json` keys go
+  stale; `classify-mods` re-seeds new names as `both`, and `sync` warns on
+  missing-from-DIST. Re-curate on big mod updates.

-## Behaviors confirmed
-
-- **Prune**: packwiz-installer tracks a manifest and **removes** client mods no

-- **Download source**: jars come from the CDN URLs in `.pw.toml`, not the pack
