The mod is 63 files; the tree it lives in is 1838 files of a commercial game
and 296 MB of history. Publishing therefore means stripping, and stripping by
hand is exactly the sort of thing that quietly leaks a build of the game.
accessibility/publish/publish.sh rebuilds the standalone repository from this
tree with git-filter-repo, then asserts that no path outside accessibility/ and
the docs survived, and aborts rather than pushing if one did.
The publish-only files live in accessibility/publish/ rather than at the root
so that the game-file footprint check stays a clean "main.lua | 1 +", and the
filter renames them to the root where a visitor to the mod repo expects them.
The script then drops the publish machinery itself, which means nothing to
someone installing the mod.
README.md is the install guide: copy accessibility/ into an extracted game
folder and add the one line to main.lua, which install.patch also applies.
CLAUDE.md now states which of the two repos the reader is in, since half of it
(running the game, the footprint check) is meaningless without the game present.

New sessions land in what looks like a game repository and start treating the
task as game development, so the accessibility framing had to be re-explained
every time. CLAUDE.md states it up front: everything outside accessibility/ is
the vanilla game and is read-only reference, and a request phrased as a game
bug ("the journal doesn't work") means a screen reader user cannot use it.
Deliberately a pointer rather than a copy, so it cannot drift out of sync with
accessibility/docs/. It sends readers to docs/scratch.md first and carries only
what a fresh agent would otherwise get wrong: that the user is blind so no
verification may depend on seeing anything, the small-footprint rule, that
speech must never throw, the FoV rule, how to run the testbed, and how to read
the startup self-test when something is silent.
CLAUDE.md sits in the game tree, so it would show up in the footprint check
that must stay "main.lua | 1 +". Excluded there and in the three places the
docs quote that command.
