App development by end of the year

[martinfleis]

Making notes of stuff that shall ideally be finished by the end of the year, that involves @yongrenjie

• ensure the files generated by the dockerized pipeline can be used to deploy the app (@martinfleis will provide files)
• document how can that be done (unless it is already documented)
• expand the config to allow specific targets for files and models
• try to ensure we have only one place where the files live (right now we have a duplication in engine and app repos)
• maybe something else needs to be done to allow custom deployment of the app?

Where are we on this?

Apart from

document how can that be done (unless it is already documented)

it is all done afaik.

The files still exist in demoland-web but I'm hesitant to remove them (or change the links to the engine repo) because the old, working Pyodide wheel depends on them. I don't really want to break anything in production right now because I can't guarantee I have time to fix things.

If we can get the current main branch to work via Pyodide then that will automatically fix that issue as the code in the main branch depends on its own files.

Apart from that, I've done it most of the documentation but there's still one bit which is incomplete. It's on my radar so I'll take care of that.
