15 SEO landing pages now use t() for all user-facing copy under
seo.<page>.* keys: CircuitSimulatorPage, SpiceSimulatorPage,
ElectronicsSimulatorPage, CustomChipSimulatorPage, Attiny85SimulatorPage,
ArduinoSimulatorPage, ArduinoEmulatorPage, AtmegaSimulatorPage,
ArduinoMegaSimulatorPage, Esp32SimulatorPage, Esp32S3SimulatorPage,
Esp32C3SimulatorPage, RaspberryPiPicoSimulatorPage,
RaspberryPiSimulatorPage. Code blocks, FQBNs, JSON-LD schema strings
intentionally stay in English.
The seo bundle (67KB English source) is split into 4 balanced files
(seo.json + seo2.json + seo3.json + seo4.json, ~17KB each) so each
DeepSeek translation request stays inside the 8192-token output cap.
i18n bootstrap merges all 4 halves under the seo.* keyspace.
Translations: 8 locales × 4 seo bundles all regenerated via DeepSeek.
common.json (now 30KB after about additions) only has zh-cn refreshed
so far — the remaining 7 locales' common.json need a follow-up pass
(the bundle is at the edge of DeepSeek's output limit).

The marketing copy and docs claimed ESP32-C3 / XIAO-C3 / SuperMini /
CH32V003 ran on a "browser-native RV32IMC core written in TypeScript",
but production runs through QEMU lcgamboa (libqemu-riscv32) with the
esp32c3-picsimlab machine — same backend pattern as Xtensa ESP32, just
a different libqemu binary. The TypeScript ISA layer
(RiscVCore.ts / Esp32C3Simulator.ts / RiscVSimulator.ts) is kept only
as Vitest unit-test infrastructure for RV32IMC instruction decoding;
it cannot handle the 150+ ROM functions ESP-IDF needs at boot and is
not wired into the production emulation path.
Files updated:
Marketing pages
- LandingPage: board-group label, FAQ answer, architecture description
no longer claim "browser-native" or "no backend needed" for RISC-V.
- AboutPage: arch card retitled "RISC-V via QEMU", body explains the
libqemu-riscv32 / lcgamboa backend.
- Velxio2Page: arch group engine label, multi-board feature item,
competitive-comparison card all corrected.
- ArduinoEmulatorPage: two RISC-V cards corrected.
- ESP32SimulatorPage: ESP32-C3 cross-link card corrected.
- ESP32C3SimulatorPage: hero subtitle, trust strip, supported-boards
intro, JSON-LD description corrected.
- ElectronicsSimulatorPage: install-needed FAQ corrected.
- examples.ts: c3-blink description and code-comment corrected.
SEO surfaces
- index.html: JSON-LD SoftwareApplication description, OS-fallback FAQ
body, supported-boards <ul> bullets, feature list bullets corrected.
- seoRoutes.ts: /esp32-c3-simulator title + description corrected;
homepage description corrected.
Docs page
- DocsPage RiscVEmulationSection: intro paragraph rewritten — RISC-V
goes through QEMU lcgamboa with libqemu-riscv32 / esp32c3-picsimlab,
TypeScript layer is Vitest-only.
- DocsPage Esp32EmulationSection callout: section now applies to all
ESP32 family (Xtensa + RISC-V), pointer to RISC-V doc clarified.
README
- "Boards" table: production-engine column for ESP32-C3 family and
CH32V003 changed from "RiscVCore.ts (browser)" to "QEMU lcgamboa
(backend)".
- "ESP32-C3 / XIAO-C3 / SuperMini / CH32V003" subsection retitled
"(RISC-V via QEMU)" — body explains libqemu-riscv32 backend and
flags the TypeScript layer as Vitest-only.
The two remaining "browser-native" hits in the codebase
(Velxio25Page:176, index.html:348) are about ngspice-WASM SPICE
analog simulation, which genuinely is browser-native — left alone.
Build verified: npm run build:docker succeeds, 246 SEO pages prerender.

Resolves several install pain points reported by users (#108, #120) and
removes the obligatory upstream-clone step that confused contributors and
slowed down every Docker build.
Install fixes:
- nginx: server_name → catch-all default_server, drop Debian's stock site
so reverse-proxied users no longer get the "Welcome to nginx" page.
- entrypoint: auto-generate SECRET_KEY at first boot, persisted under
data/.secret_key. backend/.env is now optional in docker-compose.yml.
- backend: add greenlet>=3.0.0 (SQLAlchemy async dep that was missing on
some Python builds — caused uvicorn startup failures on WSL).
Wokwi libs come from npm:
- @wokwi/elements 1.9.2, avr8js 0.21.0, rp2040js 1.3.2 are pinned in
frontend/package.json. Vite aliases removed.
- Dockerfile.standalone no longer clones avr8js / rp2040js / wokwi-elements
/ wokwi-boards. Frontend stage is just COPY + npm install + build:docker.
- Board SVGs vendored under frontend/public/boards/ (10 deduped against
existing files, 2 truly new). third-party/wokwi-* clones become reference-
only credits — generate-component-metadata.ts skips gracefully when absent.
Production config split out:
- docker-compose.prod.yml, deploy/nginx.prod.conf, nginx-host-velxio*.conf,
update-third-party.bat removed. Production deployment lives in its own
repo: https://github.com/velxio/velxio-prod (host nginx + HTTPS + backups
+ pinned upstream commit).
Verified locally: 1161 frontend tests pass, build:docker completes clean.

The directory grew well beyond Wokwi-only contents: it now hosts
lcgamboa's QEMU fork (qemu-lcgamboa), Espressif's esp32-camera, the
ngspice WASM build, fritzing-parts, picowi, an alternative QEMU
(qemu-esp32), the 100_Days_100_IoT_Projects examples repo, and
Wokwi's own avr8js/rp2040js/wokwi-elements/wokwi-features/wokwi-boards.
"wokwi-libs" was misleading — half the contents have nothing to do
with Wokwi. "third-party/" is the standard convention for vendored
external dependencies.
Mechanical changes:
Path rename:
wokwi-libs/ → third-party/
update-wokwi-libs.bat → update-third-party.bat
docs/WOKWI_LIBS.md → docs/THIRD_PARTY.md
Submodule reconfiguration:
.gitmodules — 4 path= and section names updated
.git/modules/wokwi-libs/ → .git/modules/third-party/
each submodule's .git file rewired to ../../.git/modules/third-party/<name>
Reference updates (~80 files): vite.config.ts aliases, Dockerfile
COPY paths, GH Actions workflow steps, build_qemu_*.sh, all
docs/* and test/*/autosearch/* entries that mention the path,
package-lock.json file: dependencies, .gitignore patterns,
sitemap.xml + index.html SEO blurbs, scripts/generate-component-*,
.dockerignore, .idea/vcs.xml. Bulk replaced both `wokwi-libs/`
(path) and bare `wokwi-libs` (textual mentions in docs/comments).
Verified:
- npx tsc -b --noEmit produces no new errors related to these paths
- vite.config.ts aliases now point at ../third-party/avr8js etc.
- All 4 git submodules (avr8js, rp2040js, wokwi-elements,
wokwi-features) are linked under third-party/ with their
worktrees re-populated and config files referencing the new path
- `grep -r wokwi-libs` returns zero hits outside node_modules,
.vite, frontend/dist, third-party/ (upstream submodule contents),
*.pyc caches, and *.dll.pre-camera rollback binaries
