Get MathJax and jquery directly from the backend instead of copying it with a GitHub workflow
In the pre backend era, Mani built a GH workflow to get jQuery and Mathjax libraries from Anki's repository
Since we now can ship anything from there with the new backend, that seems like an easier approach and more future proof.
It's a very low priority issue since both MathJax and jQuery rarely updates and this is mostly a non functional change

Indeed I'm not sure that workflow will even work anymore and I fear those libs are pretty out of date Script under the workflow is still using the old bazelisk build system from anki https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/blob/main/tools/update-js-libs.sh

@BrayanDSO what's the rough process to "ship" something ("expose", perhaps the correct verb?) from the backend to the front-end ?
Looks like it might be in the anki build web artifacts area, with a copy --> https://github.com/BrayanDSO/Anki-Android-Backend/blob/ea684c64e7e00b271af718376e983ce7d88814f3/build_rust/src/main.rs#L52
...then on the Anki-Android side, reference jquery and mathjax bundles from the copied location?
Then a cleanup here to remove the old workflow and tools script
Yes, basically all of that. Check the directory that Anki stores those files, copy them with main.rs, then reference them in AnkiDroid.
If the file doesn't get embedded in the aar file, check if its name or the name of its parent directory is allowed as an Android asset (e.g. directories starting with _ aren't embedded)
Perfect, thanks. Alright, reasonable path forward here then, doesn't look too bad
