-# Sci-Fi Clean — build helpers (.so plugin workflow)
+# scifi-clean — build & publish helpers (wasm .bnp workflow)
 #
-# Local-only targets. `make` produces scifi-clean.so via CGO go build -buildmode=plugin.
-# `make rebuild` deploys to the live CMS container and is intentionally NOT defined here
-# in this implementation pass — see gotham/Makefile if/when you want to add it.
+# The theme compiles to a wasip1 reactor-mode wasm module packed into a .bnp
+# artifact (`ninja plugin build`). The legacy .so path is retired (WO-WZ-015):
+# the CMS is wasm-native and can no longer load .so plugins. Distribution is
+# publish-to-registry -> InstallFromRegistry (hot-load, no restart).
+#
+# Usage:
+#   make build          # compile wasm + pack scifi-clean-<version>.bnp
+#   make verify         # validate the built .bnp (layout/abi/name/size)
+#   make archive-check  # prove a clean `git archive HEAD` compiles to wasm
+#   make publish        # ninja plugin publish --bnp (to the active registry)
+#   make templ          # regenerate templ Go files
+#   make clean          # remove build artefacts
