(Migrated from github.com)

Candidate

Project: WebBrogue
Candidate upstream/homepage: https://github.com/tmewett/web-brogue
Discovery evidence: Variant catalogs
Reported license: AGPL-3.0
License status: reported free license; verify exact terms and asset coverage against the pinned upstream source

Scope

Package the independently playable roguelike variant from source. The canonical repository, latest stable release, source hash, complete dependency closure, and relationship to parent games or sibling forks must be established before implementation. Do not substitute an opaque prebuilt binary.

Research checklist

Identify the canonical maintained source repository and immutable release/commit.
Verify the exact FOSS license for code and every installed font, tile, sound, map, documentation, and bundled dependency.
Check GNU Guix and the channel audit set for an equivalent same-upstream package.
Determine the offline build system and source closure, including submodules or language registries.
Identify updater, telemetry, runtime download, mutable-state, and network behavior that needs Guix integration.

Acceptance checks

guix lint -L . <package> has no package-specific findings.
guix build -L . --no-grafts <package> succeeds without network access or opaque binaries.
Upstream tests run where available, and guix build -L . --no-grafts --check <package> verifies reproducibility.
A fresh HOME/XDG smoke test starts a real local game, exercises meaningful gameplay or save/load behavior, and proves no store writes.
Installed license and third-party notices cover the shipped closure and assets.

Goocastle recorded disposition: blocked.

WebBrogue cannot be safely packaged from the supplied candidate because its canonical origin is unavailable. On 2026-09-20, https://github.com/tmewett/web-brogue returned repository-wide HTTP 404; https://api.github.com/repos/tmewett/web-brogue and its codeload archive endpoint also returned 404, while the bare clone attempt failed with 'could not read Username'. The tmewett GitHub repository list contains BrogueBot and BrogueCE but no web-brogue rename target. GitHub repository search returned only unrelated or stale candidates; the closest exact-name match is kipraske/web-brogue, last pushed 2018-10-04, which is not established as canonical or maintained. Consequently there is no authoritative canonical repository, immutable release/commit, source hash, exact code license, asset-license coverage, dependency closure, or build metadata. This is an unavailable provenance prerequisite, not an upstream build failure. The local channel has brogue, brogue-lite, and rapidbrogue but no equivalent web-brogue declaration or prior issue-584 runtime proof. The phase also had no Guix daemon, so no daemon-backed build was attempted. The request is blocked until the issue supplies a live canonical upstream repository and fixed tag/commit (or independently establishes that an existing repository is canonical and maintained); implementation research can then verify exact licenses for every fetched origin and asset, source closure, build behavior, offline smoke contract, and fixed-source hash.
