Orbit is a bespoke IRCv3 web client built from scratch — no wrappers, no bridge. It
speaks modern IRCv3 directly over a WebSocket and presents it as a polished,
app-like chat experience: rich messages, reactions, replies, history, web push,
themes and full internationalization. It powers [tchatou.fr](https://tchatou.fr)
in production and can be re-pointed at **any** IRCv3 network and fully re-branded
by editing a single runtime `config.json` — no rebuild required.

## 🧪 Development & CI
A [Woodpecker CI](https://ci.codeberg.org) pipeline ([`.woodpecker.yml`](./.woodpecker.yml))
runs **lint + test + build** on every push and pull request once the repository
is enabled at [ci.codeberg.org](https://ci.codeberg.org).
Every push runs the full gate before anything ships: **lint** (ESLint), **unit
tests** (Vitest), **end-to-end tests** (Playwright driving the app against a real
[Ergo](https://ergo.chat) IRC server), then a production **build**. Nothing is
deployed unless all of it passes. A [Forgejo Actions](https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/user/actions/)
workflow example lives in [`.forgejo/`](./.forgejo).
