al_folio_core delegates Distill rendering to this plugin.

This gem ships prebuilt Distill runtime assets for end users (no npm at gem-install time).

• Source of truth: al-org-dev/distill-template (al-folio branch)
• Sync script: scripts/distill/sync_distill.sh
• Provenance metadata: assets/js/distillpub/provenance.json

Refresh assets:

./scripts/distill/sync_distill.sh
# or pin a specific ref
./scripts/distill/sync_distill.sh <commit-sha>

The sync script records the real digests in provenance.json and fails if the synced ref reintroduces the hard-coded remote Distill loader (see below).

Distill pages load the runtime from the vendored copy under /assets/js/distillpub/, with integrity pinned to the SHA-256 digests committed in provenance.json. Upstream's Polyfills transform removes the page's template tag and re-adds it; the vendored copy is patched so it re-adds the vendored URL rather than a hard-coded distill.pub one.

Loading the runtime from a third-party origin is opt-in:

al_folio:
  distill:
    engine: distillpub-template
    source: al-org-dev/distill-template#al-folio
    # Default false. When false, the runtime is only ever loaded from the
    # vendored, integrity-pinned copy.
    allow_remote_loader: false
    # Only used when allow_remote_loader is true.
    remote_loader_url: https://distill.pub/template.v2.js
    # Optional SRI for remote_loader_url. When set, the injected tag carries
    # integrity + crossorigin="anonymous". The build warns when it is missing.
    remote_loader_integrity: sha256-...

Keep allow_remote_loader: false unless you control the remote origin: whoever serves remote_loader_url executes arbitrary JavaScript on every Distill page.

Distill runtime/template behavior belongs here. Starter-only docs/demo changes belong in al-folio.
