It logged dictionary.Langs(), which is a compile-time constant of the languages DreamDict *supports*. The database deployed until today supported Spanish and contained none of it, so the line printed a confident "[en fr pt-PT es zh]" over a file where every Spanish lookup came back empty — the exact failure the line exists to catch, reported as success. Contents() counts rows per language instead. For a file somebody has to copy onto the box by hand, "what is in it" is the only question worth asking, and the answer is now en=136615 es=102971 fr=56096 pt-PT=136300 zh=120883.

🌸 Petal
A self-hosted, privacy-first writing editor with warm bubbly design, auto-save, and
local-LLM grammar/ESL suggestions. See petal-spec.md for the full
design spec and BUILD_PLAN.md for build progress.
Stack
Go + chi backend · SQLite (modernc, pure Go) · React + Vite + Tiptap + Tailwind v4 frontend ·
local vLLM/Ollama for AI suggestions. Single-binary deployment (frontend embedded via go:embed).
Local development
Two processes during development:
# 1. Backend (serves /api on :8080)
go run ./cmd/server
# 2. Frontend dev server (HMR on :5173, proxies /api → :8080)
cd web && npm install && npm run dev
Open http://localhost:5173 while developing.
Production build (single binary)
cd web && npm run build # emits web/dist (embedded by the Go binary)
cd .. && go build -o petal ./cmd/server
./petal # serves UI + API on :8080
Configuration is via environment variables — copy .env.example to .env.
Deployment
docker compose up -d --build # petal + the two Piper read-aloud sidecars
Behind Traefik on the parodia.dev VPS; vLLM stays on millenia over headscale.
Full runbook — first deploy, the LLM link, backups and restore — in
deploy/README.md.
Status
Early build, multi-session. Auth (Authentik OIDC) is next; Copyleaks plagiarism is
still parked — see BUILD_PLAN.md.
