build(deploy)!: the instance's compose file is compose.learn.yaml, beside compose.train.yaml and compose.todo.yaml
No file has Compose's default name any more, so .env's COMPOSE_FILE is always set,
naming compose.learn.yaml first (.env.example sets it). compose.yaml stays as a link to
compose.learn.yaml for the one deploy that switches learn.halkyon.eu's .env over: the
deploy's merge runs with the COMPOSE_FILE from before. A later commit removes it.

BREAKING CHANGE: an instance's deploy/.env must set COMPOSE_FILE, starting with
compose.learn.yaml, before the link goes.

# halkyon_learn_server
This is the starting point for your Serverpod server.
Start your server by running:
cd halkyon_learn
serverpod start
When you are finished, you can shut down the running server with `Q`.
## Dictionaries
The dictionaries people look words up in (JMdict, …) are reference data the
server holds for everyone. They come as dictionary files, which
`halkyon_learn_curator` makes from the sources' downloads (its README says how).
At every start, and every hour at seven past, the server loads the files in
its `dictionaries` folder that changed since they were last loaded (by their
SHA-256): in the background, a source at a time, and all at once, so searches
meanwhile still find the old entries. A file it can't read is logged and left
out. A dictionary whose file is gone is unloaded, once every file in the folder
could be read (the curator removes the files of languages an instance no longer
keeps). `DICTIONARIES_DIR` names another folder.
EDRDG's licence asks a server showing its dictionaries to update them at least
once a month:
- **An instance** keeps them current by itself: the `dictionaries` service in
`deploy/compose.learn.yaml` (the curator, in a container of its own) downloads
EDRDG's files of the day once its files are a week old, converts them, and
replaces them in a volume the server reads (`curate update`, the curator's
README); the server takes them up within the hour. To supply files yourself
instead, remove the service and mount `deploy/dictionaries/` into the server
(`compose.learn.yaml` says how), and update them monthly.
- **Development:** `dart run halkyon_learn_curator:curate update --into
../halkyon_learn_server/dictionaries` in the curator's folder (about a
minute); the server takes them up within the hour.
JMdict in English, with the JLPT levels and Tatoeba's example sentences, is
about 20 MB gzipped and takes the server half a minute to load (219,000
entries). KANJIDIC2 in English, with the JLPT levels of the kanji and the kana,
is a dictionary of characters beside it (`kanjidic-en.jsonl.gz`, 0.7 MB,
12,800 entries): the app's Kanji & kana tab. Their licences (CC BY-SA 4.0;
CC BY 2.0 FR for the sentences; CC BY for the JLPT lists) ask for attribution:
the app lists the credits each file carries.
