Point PR-preview GitHub links at the PR (closes #136)#137
Conversation
On PR-preview builds, the navbar GitHub icon now opens the PR conversation page and quarto's "Edit this page" / "View source" actions land on the PR head branch instead of UCD-SERG/rpt main. Non-PR builds are untouched. docs.yaml gains a `yq` step before `altdoc::render_docs()` that rewrites three keys in altdoc/quarto_website.yml: `website.repo-url`, `website.repo-branch`, and the `website.navbar.right[icon == github].href`. Sourced from `github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name`, `head.ref`, and `html_url`. yq is preinstalled on ubuntu-latest. A comment in altdoc/quarto_website.yml flags that those three keys are mutated in PR builds, so the in-place rewrite isn't a surprise to anyone reading the YAML cold.

Pull request overview
This PR updates the documentation workflow so PR preview builds point Quarto repository links at the pull request’s head repository/branch and the navbar GitHub icon at the PR conversation.
Changes:
- Adds a PR-only workflow step that rewrites Quarto repo link settings before rendering docs.
- Documents the CI mutation behavior in
altdoc/quarto_website.yml.

The previous comment said all three keys are "rewritten in-place", but `repo-branch` does not exist in this file — the workflow inserts it dynamically on PR-preview builds. Co-authored-by: Douglas Ezra Morrison <d-morrison@users.noreply.github.com>
If the navbar selector (`.website.navbar.right[] | select(.icon == "github")`) ever fails to match — e.g. because someone renames the entry or the version dropdown script later widens its scope — the yq edit silently no-ops and the preview site keeps pointing at main. Read the three values back after the rewrites and fail the workflow if any of them isn't what we expected, so the regression surfaces immediately in CI rather than as a confusing user experience on the preview. Also added a comment pinning the step ordering (must run after the version dropdown generator) to head off subtle future breakage. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two issues from round 2: - `yq -i '.website.X = ...'` will *create* X if .website itself has been renamed or restructured, so the postcondition check would happily read back the value we just wrote into a key quarto ignores. Add a precondition pass with `yq -e` that fails the workflow if either `.website.repo-url` or the navbar `icon: github` entry is missing before we attempt to rewrite anything. - Replaced the `[ A ] || [ B ] || [ C ]` line-continuation chain with a single `[[ A || B || C ]]` to remove the trailing-whitespace footgun.

@claude the "View source" link on https://d-morrison.github.io/rpt/pr-preview/pr-137/man/calculate_summary.html points to https://github.com/d-morrison/rpt/blob/claude/issue-136-pr-preview-links/man/calculate_summary.qmd, which isn't correct; fix? |

Man-page .qmd files are generated by altdoc from .Rd sources and are never committed to git. The "View source" link therefore 404s on every build (PR preview or otherwise). Quarto's per-directory _metadata.yml disables only the "source" action for the man/ subtree; vignette pages keep all three actions because their .qmd files are in git.

Instead of disabling "View source" via _metadata.yml (which removed the feature entirely), add a Quarto pre-render script that injects a correct `source-url` into each altdoc-generated man page .qmd before Quarto renders it, redirecting "View source" to the committed .Rd file. - Remove altdoc/man/_metadata.yml (was suppressing the source button) - Add altdoc/scripts/fix-man-source-urls.sh (pre-render: reads repo-url and repo-branch from quarto_website.yml, already mutated for PR builds, and writes source-url: <url>/blob/<branch>/man/<stem>.Rd into each generated altdoc/man/*.qmd front matter) - Register the script under project.pre-render in quarto_website.yml - Add CLAUDE.md with repo guidelines including "don't remove features" Co-authored-by: Douglas Ezra Morrison <d-morrison@users.noreply.github.com>

The previous approach injected `source-url:` into .qmd front matter as a Quarto pre-render step, but `source-url` is not a recognized per-page metadata key in Quarto — it was silently ignored, so "View source" still resolved to the .qmd path (which 404s). Switch to a post-render script that directly rewrites the rendered HTML: for each docs/man/<stem>.html, replace any href ending in `/man/<stem>.qmd` with `/man/<stem>.Rd`. This is independent of Quarto's internal metadata handling and is guaranteed to work. Co-authored-by: Douglas Ezra Morrison <d-morrison@users.noreply.github.com>
Merge the "don't remove features as workarounds" principle and the altdoc documentation-build notes that #137 had independently added in its own CLAUDE.md, so this PR owns the single canonical CLAUDE.md and #137 can drop its stray copy.

This PR-preview-links branch had independently added a CLAUDE.md that both overlapped with the dedicated Claude Code config PR (#141) and described the now-superseded pre-render man-source approach. Its useful repo-specific notes were folded into #141's canonical CLAUDE.md, so remove it here to keep this PR scoped to the PR-preview link work.

Quarto's `issue` repo-action builds its URL from `repo-url`, which the PR-preview step repoints at the PR head repo/branch — so the rendered "Report an issue" link landed on the fork's /issues/new form. Add a post-render step that repoints it at the base repository's main issues page (https://github.com/<repo>/issues) on every build, so it's stable on dev, release, and PR-preview docs.
