Transparent Vite + pnpm orchestration for Sphinx theme asset pipelines

gp-sphinx-vite

Transparent Vite + pnpm orchestration for Sphinx theme asset pipelines.

A Sphinx extension that spawns pnpm exec vite build --watch from builder-inited so theme authors iterating templates and SCSS get fresh furo.css / furo.js on disk without remembering a separate vite build command. The extension is a no-op in production (when sphinx-build runs without the autobuild driver), so wheels published to PyPI never carry a Node runtime requirement.

Status

Skeleton — only setup() and config-value registration are wired up. Subprocess management (ViteProcess), the asyncio↔threading bridge, and the actual spawn/teardown lifecycle (with signal handling and idempotent re-spawn for sphinx-autobuild) land in subsequent commits.

Usage (eventual)

# conf.py
extensions = ["gp_sphinx_vite"]

# Optional. Defaults to "auto": dev iff SPHINX_AUTOBUILD env var is set
# or sys.argv[0] ends with "sphinx-autobuild"; prod (no-op) otherwise.
gp_sphinx_vite_mode = "auto"

# Optional. Path to the directory containing package.json + vite.config.ts.
# Defaults to <theme directory>/web (resolved relative to the active theme).
gp_sphinx_vite_root = None
