The constants of the sites become editable in Site Management >
Settings (admins only in TYPO3 13.4). settings.definitions.yaml of the
set ep/theme defines all 116 constants plus googleTagManagerId, with the
labels and categories of their constant editor annotations and today's
constants.typoscript values as defaults. Every setting is a string,
yes/no ones with a select of exactly '0' and '1': a bool setting would
hand '' instead of '0' to TypoScript.
config/sites/*/settings.yaml become shared files on the server and leave
git, like settings.php: production is leading, so backend edits survive
deploys, and each environment keeps its own values. Nine settings nobody
reads (twitterUrl, vimeoUrl, cookiefirstKey, ...) were dropped locally;
on production they stay in the seeded files until removed there.
deploy:check:site-settings aborts before anything else touches the
server if one of the shared files is missing or empty: deploy:shared
would create it empty, silently resetting that site to the defaults.
Rollout, after the site set is live: seed the shared files from the
live release once, then deploy:
cd <deploy_path> && for f in current/config/sites/*/settings.yaml; do
mkdir -p "shared/${f#current/}" && rmdir "shared/${f#current/}" &&
cp -p "$f" "shared/${f#current/}"; done
Verified locally: the resolved setup of 43 pages is unchanged and only
the nine unused constants are gone (switched state); the root template
state is unchanged; all 1912 frontend URLs are identical.
