#!/usr/bin/env node
// Regenerate the lightweight WebP card thumbnails served by the GitHub Pages
// landing page. The committed full-size PNGs in screenshots/ are the ground
// truth; each active simulation's screenshot is downscaled to docs/assets/<sim>.webp.
//
// Uses sharp (a declared dev dependency) so resizing is deterministic and needs
// no system binary — unlike the previous ImageMagick dependency. When run from a
// full workspace checkout, originals are first refreshed from the sibling sim repos.
//
// Usage: node scripts/make-thumbnails.mjs [--width N] [sim ...]
