…<version>/
Readers can browse the website exactly as it shipped for any past release at
varar.dev/v/<version>/ — the whole site, interactive editor included, running
that release's own code, not just frozen prose.
- astro.config.mjs honours VARAR_SITE_BASE so a release can be built under a
path prefix; archived versions are marked noindex and link home via a footer
"Version history" entry to the /v/ hub.
- release/website-*.{sh,mjs} build a version snapshot, rebase hand-written
root-absolute links under the prefix, and generate the /v/ archive hub.
- website.yml owns website deploy: it snapshots each release tag onto an orphan
website-snapshots branch and overlays the archive into the Cloudflare deploy.
Backfill past releases via its workflow_dispatch. Deploy moved out of
typescript.yml (its path filter can't react to tags); the PR build gate stays.
- doc/website-versioning.md documents the mechanism and backfill.

Only the live docs should rank in search, and a reader who lands on an old version should know it. - Archived pages already carry noindex; extend it to the generated /v/ hub, so the live site is the single indexed version (the sitemap lists live pages only). - Add a Banner override that, on a snapshot build, shows an old-version warning linking to the same page on the live site. The link is an absolute URL (via Astro.site) so the link rebaser can't pull it back into the archive. Inert on the live build.
