You’re right — we already did this properly. 😊
Let me line it up clearly so we don’t confuse build-meta vs build-info.

==== You already have the correct footer in: ====

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">~/projects/wsi-website/src/index.html

</syntaxhighlight>

Content (what you pasted) is perfect:

<syntaxhighlight lang="html"><!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>WhiteStone Intelligence (WSI)</title>

    <!-- Basic styling (remove if Tailwind is injected globally) -->
    <style>
        body {
            font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
            margin: 40px;
            line-height: 1.6;
        }
        footer {
            margin-top: 40px;
            font-size: 0.75rem;
            color: #666;
            text-align: center;
        }
    </style>
</head>

<body>
    <h1>WhiteStone Intelligence (WSI)</h1>
    <p>WSI Community Cloud website is running successfully.</p>

    <!-- Build Metadata Footer -->
    <footer id="build-meta">
        Loading build metadata...
    </footer>

    <script>
        fetch('/build-meta.json')
            .then(res => res.json())
            .then(meta => {
                document.getElementById('build-meta').textContent =
                    <code>Build: ${meta.build_time} • Commit: ${meta.commit} • Source: ${meta.source}</code>;
            })
            .catch(() => {
                document.getElementById('build-meta').textContent =
                    "Build metadata unavailable.";
            });
    </script>
</body>
</html>

</syntaxhighlight>

✅ Footer is in the right place.
✅ It’s calling /build-meta.json (not /build-info.json) – that’s fine.

My earlier message that used /build-info.json was inconsistent with what you already implemented. Your current version with /build-meta.json is perfectly OK — let’s lock in on that.

==== For the footer to actually show data (instead of “Loading…”), two things must be true in the final deployed site root (both Local site/ and VPS /usr/share/caddy): ====
# index.html (with that <footer id="build-meta">)
# build-meta.json in the same directory as index.html

So on Local, after build + copy, you want:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">ls ~/projects/wsi-website/site
=== should show: ===
=== assets/  en/  zh/  index.html  build-meta.json ===

</syntaxhighlight>

On VPS, inside the running container:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">docker exec -it wsi-caddy sh -c "ls -l /usr/share/caddy"
=== should show: ===
=== assets/  en/  zh/  index.html  build-meta.json ===

</syntaxhighlight>

==== On Local (you already basically did this, but here is the “canonical” sequence using build-meta.json): ====

1️⃣ Build Tailwind + metadata:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">cd ~/projects/wsi-website
npm run build

</syntaxhighlight>

Your build-meta.sh should be something like this (just to align with /build-meta.json):

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -e

BUILD_TIME=$(date -u +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S UTC")
COMMIT=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD || echo "N/A")
SOURCE="LOCAL"

cat > build-meta.json <<EOF
{
  "build_time": "$BUILD_TIME",
  "commit": "$COMMIT",
  "source": "$SOURCE"
}
EOF

echo "Build metadata generated:"
cat build-meta.json

</syntaxhighlight>

2️⃣ Copy built files into site/ including build-meta.json:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">rm -rf site/*
cp -r src/* site/
cp build-meta.json site/

</syntaxhighlight>

3️⃣ Commit and push:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">git add -A
git commit -m "Update build + metadata footer"
git push

</syntaxhighlight>

==== Your deployment is now: ====
* LOCAL: ~/projects/wsi-website → npm run build → site/ + build-meta.json → git push
* GitHub Actions: (if/when we update it for this project) → checkout repo → either use site/ directly or rebuild → scp to VPS /home/cesadmin/projects/wsi-website-prod/site/
* VPS (wsi-website-prod project): - Caddy volume points /usr/share/caddy → /home/cesadmin/projects/wsi-website-prod/site - Browser requests https://whitestoneintel.com/ - index.html loads - JS calls GET /build-meta.json - Footer displays: Build: 2025-12-12 00:47:41 UTC • Commit: e2d3d98 • Source: LOCAL

===== On VPS (host): =====

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">cd ~/projects/wsi-website-prod
ls site
=== expect: assets/ en/ zh/ index.html build-meta.json ===

</syntaxhighlight>

Then inside container:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">docker exec -it wsi-caddy sh -c "ls -l /usr/share/caddy && cat /usr/share/caddy/build-meta.json"

</syntaxhighlight>

If both files are there, your footer is wired correctly end-to-end.

If you’d like, next step I can:
* extend the same footer to /src/en/about.html, /src/en/community-passport/index.html, /src/zh/...
* or add a tiny “environment label” (e.g. ENV: PROD vs ENV: STAGE) based on SOURCE.
