bakery

Bakes one slot's renders into the wall's mip chain, and serves it. A slot is one set of renders over the whole corpus; each item gets a 128px loose tile, and every item's 8px and 32px tiles are composed onto one sheet per level, with a JSON manifest beside each sheet.

It knows nothing about what the items are. brick-icons is the first host.

pip install pezlie
pip install 'pezlie[routes]'  # with the FastAPI routes
pip install 'pezlie[feed]'    # with pezlie.feed, which writes Arrow feeds

It needs resvg on PATH for SVG renders. The wall that draws what it bakes is pezlie on npm.

What a host supplies

• The renders for a slot — Render(id, path, sha) per item that has one. SVG goes through resvg; anything else is opened with Pillow.
• The full order — every item id, drawn or not. A cell's index on a sheet is its position in this list, so the host must send the same order to compose and to the wall's feed, or every sprite lands off by one. compose refuses a list that repeats an id.
• For the routes — a slot-name-to-directory lookup, a lookup naming the render file for an item in a slot, and the root those files must sit under.

What it promises

• Ink, never ground. Tiles and sheets are transparent where there is no ink. The wall paints the ground.
• One writer per slot. bake_item, compose and bake_slot hold a lock on <slot>/.bake.lock and raise BakeInProgress instead of interleaving.
• Freshness by sha. An item whose sha matches baked.json, with tiles in the current format, is not rebaked. The manifest carries the sha map, so the wall can tell a stale cell from a fresh one.

tests/test_parity.py bakes the same inputs through brick-icons' brick_icons/thumbs.py and through this package and compares bytes. It looks for a brick-icons checkout beside pezlie, or at $BRICK_ICONS, and skips without one.
