# Launcher — FjordLauncherUnlocked distribution

## Summary

Guests use **FjordLauncherUnlocked** (`hero-persson/FjordLauncherUnlocked`) — a
Prism/PolyMC fork with **authlib-injector support built in**. So guests add their
drasl account directly in the launcher (no manual JVM `-javaagent`), import the
modpack, and play.

We host the launcher installers for **all platforms** on the landing page
(`ulicraft.net`), served by Caddy from `./launcher/` (mounted at `/srv/launcher`,
reachable at `/launcher/`). A script downloads the release assets ahead of time.

## Release assets (latest = 11.0.2.0)

Every platform variant is published as a GitHub release asset:
- **Windows**: MSVC + MinGW, each as `.zip`, `Portable .zip`, `Setup .exe`; x64 + arm64
- **macOS**: `.dmg`, `.zip`
- **Linux**: `.AppImage` (x86_64, aarch64) + `.zsync`, portable `.tar.gz` (Qt6)

The fetch script grabs **all** assets via the GitHub API (loops
`browser_download_url`). The landing page highlights the common three: Windows
Setup `.exe`, macOS `.dmg`, Linux `.AppImage`.

# Halts on any error or ambiguity (no silent partial downloads).

ln -sfn "$tag" "${DEST_ROOT}/latest"
echo "Done. ${#urls[@]} assets in ${dest}"
```

Caddy mount: `./launcher:/srv/launcher:ro` (served at `/launcher/…`).

### Stable symlinks (so landing links survive version bumps)

The landing page (`09-landing.md`) links to **fixed** filenames, not versioned
ones. After downloading, `fetch-launcher.sh` must create these symlinks under
`launcher/latest/` pointing at the real assets:

- `fjord-windows-setup.exe`     → Windows Setup `.exe` (x64)
- `fjord-macos.dmg`             → macOS `.dmg`
- `fjord-linux-x86_64.AppImage` → Linux x86_64 `.AppImage`

Selecting the right asset from the release list needs filename matching (the
upstream names carry MSVC/MinGW/arch/version). Match cautiously; halt if a
category resolves to 0 or >1 candidate rather than guessing. **Names must stay in
sync with `landing/src/data/site.ts`.**

## Per-guest flow

1. Open `https://ulicraft.net`, download launcher for their OS, install.
2. Add account: authlib-injector type, URL
   `https://auth.ulicraft.net/authlib-injector`, drasl username/password.
3. Import the modpack (packwiz URL `https://pack.ulicraft.net/pack.toml`,
   or a shared instance zip).
4. Connect to `mc.ulicraft.net:25565`.

## Tasks

- [ ] Create `tooling/fetch-launcher.sh` (above); `chmod +x`
- [ ] Extend script: create stable symlinks (win/mac/linux) in `launcher/latest/`
- [ ] Run it pre-party; verify all assets land in `./launcher/<tag>/`
- [ ] `.gitignore` `./launcher/` (done)
- [ ] Landing page DONE — `landing/` Astro project, builds to `www/` (see 09-landing.md)
- [ ] Confirm Fjord authlib-injector account flow against drasl
- [ ] Decide whether to ship a pre-built instance zip vs packwiz URL import
- [ ] Pin a launcher version (don't silently follow `latest` on party day)
