The QEMU libraries left the public `qemu-prebuilt` release: they are
GPL-2.0 derivatives of QEMU, and distributing one obliges us to hand the
recipient the corresponding source, so binary and source now live in one
place -- velxio.dev's gated endpoint, where the qemu-source-<commit>
archive sits beside them.
Six documents still pointed at the release. Two of them shipped runnable
commands that now 404: the deploy-to-container curl pair in the WiFi
notes, and the e2e README's claim about where CI gets its libraries
(that workflow had in fact moved to the gated endpoint some time ago --
only the README was stale).
Also corrects two things that were already wrong before today:
QEMU_RELEASE_URL is documented with the release as its default, but
Dockerfile.standalone defaults it to empty and reaches the binaries via
VELXIO_LICENSE_KEY; and the asset inventory omitted the macOS, Windows
and esp32s3_rev0_rom entries.
The folder only holds the in-container nginx + entrypoint that the
standalone Dockerfile copies. Calling it "deploy" implied host-level
production glue, which now lives in github.com/velxio/velxio-prod.
"docker/" makes the build-time vs deploy-time split obvious.

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
