Ryan Malloy c7b47bba5c fix: use Vite virtual module for configuration instead of global state
The initial config-store approach failed because Astro's injected routes
run in isolated contexts during prerendering and don't have access to
global state set during astro:config:setup.

Solution: Created a Vite plugin that provides the configuration through
a virtual module (virtual:@astrojs/discovery/config) which routes can
import at build time.

Changes:
- Added Vite plugin in astro:config:setup hook
- Updated all route handlers to import from virtual module
- Changed version from date-based (2025.11.03) to semantic (1.0.0) per npm requirements
- Added @ts-ignore comments for virtual module imports

Testing: Verified in test project that all configuration now properly
passes through to generated files (robots.txt, llms.txt, humans.txt).

- Custom agent configurations
- Crawl delay settings
- Sitemap reference
2. **llms.txt Generator**
- Site description and key features
- Important pages for AI assistants
- Specific instructions for AI behavior
- API endpoint documentation
- Technology stack information
- Brand voice guidelines
- Custom sections support
3. **humans.txt Generator**
- Team member information
- Thanks/credits section
- Site technical details
- Project story/history
- Fun facts
- Development philosophy
- Custom sections
4. **Sitemap Integration**
- Automatic integration with @astrojs/sitemap
- Pass-through configuration
- Centralized sitemap-index.xml
### Technical Implementation
**File Structure:**
```
src/
├── index.ts # Main integration entry point
├── types.ts # Complete TypeScript definitions
├── config-store.ts # Global configuration management
├── generators/
│ ├── robots.ts # robots.txt generation logic
│ ├── llms.ts # llms.txt generation logic
│ └── humans.ts # humans.txt generation logic
├── routes/
│ ├── robots.ts # /robots.txt API route
│ ├── llms.ts # /llms.txt API route
│ └── humans.ts # /humans.txt API route
└── validators/
└── config.ts # Configuration validation & defaults
```
**Key Features:**
- TypeScript with full type safety
- Date-based versioning (YYYY.MM.DD)
- Sensible defaults with extensive customization
- HTTP cache control headers
- Custom template support
- Dynamic content generation
- Environment-aware configurations
### Testing
**Test Coverage:**
- 34 unit tests across 3 test files
- 100% pass rate
- Tests for all generators (robots, llms, humans)
- Edge cases covered
- Vitest test framework
**Test Files:**
- `tests/robots.test.ts` - 8 tests
- `tests/llms.test.ts` - 13 tests
- `tests/humans.test.ts` - 13 tests
### Documentation
1. **README.md** - Complete user guide (17KB, comprehensive)
2. **QUICKSTART.md** - 2-minute getting started guide
3. **CONTRIBUTING.md** - Developer contribution guide
4. **CHANGELOG.md** - Version history and roadmap
5. **Example Configurations:**
- `example/astro.config.minimal.ts` - Minimal setup
- `example/astro.config.example.ts` - Full configuration showcase
### Build Output
**Package Details:**
- Name: `@astrojs/discovery`
- Version: `2025.11.03`
- License: MIT
- Built with TypeScript
- ES Module format

## Installation & Usage
### Installation
```bash
npm install @astrojs/discovery
```
### Minimal Usage
```typescript
import discovery from '@astrojs/discovery';
export default defineConfig({
site: 'https://example.com',
integrations: [discovery()]
});
```
### Output Files
- `/robots.txt` - Search engine directives
- `/llms.txt` - AI assistant context
- `/humans.txt` - Human-readable credits
