Update Pipeline

Most content is fetched fresh at tool-call time from public APIs and feeds, so the server does not go stale between commits. Three scheduled workflows keep the rest current without manual upkeep:

• Source Smoke (Tue/Fri) runs live checks against every public source surface.

It commits nothing; it catches dead feeds, API shape changes, and source breakage.

• Refresh skill index (Mondays) re-extracts the bundled skill index from the

Guild Wars Wiki and commits it only when the extracted data actually changed. Because installs resolve github:/guildwars-reforged-mcp to the default branch, a refresh reaches users without needing a release.

• Keepalive (Wednesdays) makes an empty commit if the repository has been

quiet for 45 days, so GitHub's 60-day inactivity rule never disables the schedules above.

Releases are cut only from human pushes to main. A data refresh is typically one or two corrected skill fields out of roughly 3,000 and does not merit a version of its own.

Local Inventory

Local inventory is opt-in. The server never scans default locations, home directories, VMware folders, or game installs by itself.

Use explicit roots:

GW1_LOCAL_ROOTS="/path/to/Guild Wars:/path/to/Some VM.vmwarevm" guildwars-reforged-mcp

Or pass roots to the gw1_local_inventory tool.

The scanner can detect:

• Gw.exe
• Gw.dat metadata only
• Templates folders and plausible template codes in .txt files
• .vmwarevm, .vmx, and .vmdk metadata

It does not mount virtual disks, parse Gw.dat, follow symlink escapes, or write scan output. Paths are redacted by default unless a caller explicitly opts out.

Development
