Since v13 the package bundles a prebuilt binary for all eight platforms
it supports (~17 MB) on top of the SQLite amalgamation needed to compile
from scratch (~10 MB). A packaged artifact loads exactly one binary and
never compiles, so all of that but ~2 MB was dead weight:
v0.104.1 (v12) 11.93 MB deps/ + a compiled build/Release binary
v13, untrimmed 27.0 MB deps/ + eight prebuilds
server, trimmed 4.5 MB lib/ + linux-x64 + linuxmusl-x64
desktop, trimmed 2.2 MB lib/ + linux-x64
That is ~6 MB off each compressed Linux artifact, and leaves us below
what v0.104.1 shipped rather than 15 MB above it. lib/ plus one prebuild
is the complete runtime set -- verified by loading a copy pruned to just
those files and running a query against it.
Two things the trim has to get right, both covered:
Linux keeps the musl build alongside the glibc one. The server's dist is
produced once on a glibc runner and then consumed by both the Debian and
the Alpine images, and better-sqlite3 resolves linuxmusl-* at runtime on
the latter, so dropping it would break the amd64 image at startup. The
Electron artifacts opt out, since Electron ships no musl builds.
The platform and architecture are the ones being built *for*, not the
host's: the macOS runners are arm64 and also package darwin-x64, so
trimming by host arch would strip the binary that build needs.
TARGET_ARCH / MATRIX_ARCH already carry the target in CI.
An unsupported platform/arch throws rather than silently producing an
artifact with no native addon.
Also drops the better-sqlite3 cleanup from flake.nix's server install
phase: it removed deps/sqlite3 and the build/ scaffolding that held
build-time store paths, all of which the build now trims itself.

v13 moves the addon onto N-API and ships prebuilt binaries for every
supported platform/arch inside the package itself. Three parts of the
build assumed the old prebuild-install/node-gyp layout.
Dropped `bindings` and `file-uri-to-path` from copyNodeModules: v13 no
longer depends on either, so the copy aborted the build outright with
"Unable to find any of the paths: .../node_modules/bindings".
Removed the Electron native rebuild. v13's binding.gyp resolves both of
its targets to `type: none` whenever a prebuild for the host exists, so
electron-rebuild.mts produced a stamp file and no addon on every install,
leaving BETTERSQLITE3_NATIVE_PATH pointing at a build/Release binary that
is never created -- `pnpm desktop:start` died on MODULE_NOT_FOUND. The
prebuilds are ABI-stable and load unchanged under Electron 42 (Node-API
10), so the rebuild step, its @electron/rebuild and prebuild-install
devDependencies, and the ELECTRON_NODEDIR plumbing in flake.nix all go.
Rebuilt the Docker images around the same short-circuit: `pnpm rebuild`
in the builder stages was also a no-op, so the images would have shipped
the upstream prebuild, which needs glibc >= 2.34 (x64) / >= 2.38 (arm64)
against bullseye's 2.31. The glibc images move to trixie and lose their
builder stage; the Alpine pair lose theirs too, since the linuxmusl-*
prebuilds only need libstdc++, which node:*-alpine already provides.
Alpine stays pinned to 3.23 for the musl 1.2.5 reason in #10627.
Dockerfile.legacy must keep compiling from source -- 32-bit ARM has no
prebuild at all, and linux/arm/v8 normalizes to arm64, whose prebuild
outruns that image's bullseye glibc. npm_config_force_build=1 restores
the real compile and link rules.

This enhances the `build-docs` utility to allow running it via pnpm and
packaging it as a Nix application. Changes include:
- Added `build` and `cli` scripts to `apps/build-docs/package.json`.
- Implemented a standalone CLI wrapper for documentation generation.
- Added a `trilium-build-docs` package to the Nix flake for use in other projects.
- Integrated `apps/build-docs` into the Nix workspace and build pipeline.
These changes make the documentation build process more portable and easier
to integrate into CI/CD pipelines outside of the main repository.
