Summary

The distroless container image copies templates and static files to /templates/ and /static/ in the Dockerfile, but the application currently reads them from the filesystem at runtime. This breaks when readOnlyRootFilesystem: true is set or when file paths differ between build and runtime. Both issues #220 (templates) and #221 (static) track this independently — this is the consolidated implementation issue.

What to do

  1. Add //go:embed templates/* in a suitable package (e.g. internal/templates/embed.go) and expose an fs.FS
  2. Add //go:embed static/* in a suitable package (e.g. internal/static/embed.go) and expose an fs.FS
  3. Update internal/handlers/handlers.go to use http.FileServerFS for /static/ serving from the embedded FS
  4. Update template parsing to use template.ParseFS instead of template.ParseGlob
  5. Remove the COPY steps in the Dockerfile that copy templates/static at runtime (they will be embedded)
  6. Update integration tests that reference file paths

Acceptance Criteria

  • go build succeeds with embedded assets
  • Templates load correctly from the embedded FS at runtime
  • Static assets are served correctly from the embedded FS
  • The binary works inside a distroless container without external file mounts
  • go test ./... passes

Roadmap Reference

Phase 3.1 Dockerfile. Supersedes #220 and #221.

## Summary The distroless container image copies templates and static files to `/templates/` and `/static/` in the Dockerfile, but the application currently reads them from the filesystem at runtime. This breaks when `readOnlyRootFilesystem: true` is set or when file paths differ between build and runtime. Both issues #220 (templates) and #221 (static) track this independently — this is the consolidated implementation issue. ## What to do 1. Add `//go:embed templates/*` in a suitable package (e.g. `internal/templates/embed.go`) and expose an `fs.FS` 2. Add `//go:embed static/*` in a suitable package (e.g. `internal/static/embed.go`) and expose an `fs.FS` 3. Update `internal/handlers/handlers.go` to use `http.FileServerFS` for `/static/` serving from the embedded FS 4. Update template parsing to use `template.ParseFS` instead of `template.ParseGlob` 5. Remove the `COPY` steps in the Dockerfile that copy templates/static at runtime (they will be embedded) 6. Update integration tests that reference file paths ## Acceptance Criteria - [ ] `go build` succeeds with embedded assets - [ ] Templates load correctly from the embedded FS at runtime - [ ] Static assets are served correctly from the embedded FS - [ ] The binary works inside a distroless container without external file mounts - [ ] `go test ./...` passes ## Roadmap Reference Phase 3.1 Dockerfile. Supersedes #220 and #221.

Triage: Assigned to @AI-Engineer. This is the consolidated go:embed implementation (supersedes #220 and #221). Delegating to @senior-developer agent for implementation. This is the highest priority P1 item -- it fixes the distroless container path mismatch and readOnlyRootFilesystem issues.

Once this is merged, #222 (update integration tests) can proceed.
