The /<project> landing page was server-rendered via
internal/handler/projecthandler.go's html/template — an inconsistency
against the project's "every tool is a single-file HTML" convention.
Convert it to a mode of the existing landing/ tool: same bundle now
serves both / (project picker) and /<project> (project workspace).
Mechanics:
- landing/template.html: pickerView (existing markup) + projectView
(new: stage cards, browse-all, MDL section, party-list slot).
Mode toggles by adding/removing .hidden on the two containers.
- landing/js/landing.js: detectMode() reads location.pathname;
renderProjectMode() populates stage hrefs from the project segment
and fetches /<project>/archive/?json=1 for the party list. init()
forks based on mode; picker init was extracted to initPicker().
Existing public API + behaviour unchanged for picker mode.
- landing/css/landing.css: appended ~115 lines for the project view
(.stages grid, .stage-card hover, .party-list, MDL formatting).
- cmd/zddc-server/main.go: dispatcher's IsProjectRootURL fork now
calls appsSrv.Serve(w, r, "landing", chain, absPath) rather than
the deleted ServeProjectLanding handler.
- internal/handler/projecthandler.go: trimmed to just the
IsProjectRootURL predicate (the dispatcher still needs it for
routing). Template + render code (~220 lines) deleted.
Net effect: same UI as before — same logo wrapping (now via
shared/logo.js, no longer a hand-rolled inline anchor), same stage
cards, same MDL instructions with party links — but the page is now a
single-file SPA that themes like the rest, follows the same logo and
stage-strip conventions, and could in principle be downloaded and
served standalone.
Tests:
- 3 new tests/landing.spec.js cases: detectMode exposure, project
workspace renders at /<project> with correct stage hrefs + title,
party listing populates from JSON fetch and filters dot-prefixed
entries.
- The dispatcher test for /Project no-slash still asserts 200 +
no-redirect; the served body is now landing.html instead of the
server-rendered template, but both pass the assertion.
LOC: roughly net-neutral. -220 in projecthandler.go, +115 in
landing.css, +130 in landing.js, +60 in template.html.

Bring every tool's header in line with archive's pattern:
[logo] [title] [version] [Add Local Directory] [⟳] ............... [◐] [?]
------------- header-left --------------- ----- header-right -
Changes per tool:
* browse: rename "Select Directory" → "Add Local Directory"; add the
red-non-stable wrap to the build label (was missing); add a help
panel + bundle shared/help.js.
* classifier: rename selectDirectoryBtn → addDirectoryBtn,
refreshBtn → refreshHeaderBtn for consistency. Update all JS
callers and welcome-screen copy to the new label.
* mdedit: same id rename. Move the previously-in-pane refresh
button into the header. Stop renaming the dir button to
"Directory: <name>" once a folder is loaded — instead use the
shared btn--subtle variant to de-emphasize while keeping the
standard label.
* transmittal: convert non-standard <div class="app-header"> with
spacer/icons containers to <header class="app-header"> with the
canonical header-left/header-right pair. Move the publish split-
button into header-left (Transmittal-specific primary action).
Remove dead .app-header__spacer/__icons/header-icon-btn CSS now
that nothing references those classes.
* landing, form: add help-btn + help-panel + bundle shared/help.js.
Each panel is tool-specific (project picker docs for landing,
schema-driven form docs for form).
Cross-cutting:
* shared/base.css: promote .btn--subtle from browse/css/tree.css
so any tool with an online mode can de-emphasize Add Local
Directory consistently.
Verified all 7 tools in headless Chromium: header structure correct,
build label red on non-stable cuts, help panel opens + closes via
button + Esc.
Cross-tool header inconsistencies cleaned up after the audit
prompted by the browse Phase 2 work:
- landing/template.html: title was 'ZDDC Archive' (a holdover from
when landing WAS the archive). The page is now the project
picker — title shortened to plain 'ZDDC'. Browser tab title
follows: 'ZDDC Archive — Projects' → 'ZDDC — Projects'. Title +
build label wrapped in title-group div for layout consistency
with archive/classifier/mdedit/browse.
- form/template.html: title was bare; same title-group wrapping.
The id='form-title' stays — its content is overwritten at
runtime by form.js based on the form schema's name.
- classifier/template.html: refresh button text 'Refresh' →
'⟳' icon to match archive + browse. Same title attribute, just
smaller visual weight.
Untouched (intentionally):
- archive's button stays 'Add Local Directory' + addDirectoryBtn
id — semantically different from the others (archive
accumulates multiple directories; everyone else operates on
one). The naming reflects that.
- transmittal — different layout entirely (page-header with
sender/receiver logo cells); not a candidate for app-header
standardization.
Replaces the caret-dropdown preset menu with two stacked cards:
Groups (top) — saved bundles of projects; click to open the archive
with that group's project set; per-row edit/delete
buttons.
Projects — filterable table; in default mode no checkboxes,
click any row to open just that project.
"+ New group" or a row's edit button enters select-mode: checkboxes
appear on each project row, an action bar shows above the projects card
with Save group / Open visible-checked / Cancel.
"Open visible-checked" intentionally excludes filter-hidden checked
projects so users can scope to a subset they're currently looking at.
Storage migrates from old zddc_landing_presets to zddc_landing_groups
(simpler shape: {name, projects: [...]}). One-shot migration runs on
first load.
Adds the new favicon SVG to the landing header alongside the title.
Drops the ?projects= URL state since selection is no longer the page's
primary state in click-to-open mode.
Updates Playwright suite: 9 new test cases covering click-to-open, group
crud, edit pre-population, "open selected visible" scoping, and legacy
preset migration. Adds a LandingApp._setNavigate test hook since
window.location.href cannot be reliably patched in modern engines.

Bundles a stretch of in-progress work across the SPA tools so the
tree returns to a coherent shippable state ahead of cutting a new
zddc-server stable image:
- landing: substantial rework of the project picker (sortable/filterable
table, presets refactor, ?projects= filter, ?v= channel propagation,
loading/error states)
- archive: presets cleanup, source.js refactor, filtering/url-state
alignment with the landing page
- mdedit: file-system module split, resizer, file-tree improvements,
base/toc styling tweaks
- transmittal/classifier: small template touch-ups for shared chrome
- shared: build-lib.sh helpers, new favicon.svg
- bootstrap, build.sh: pick up the channel-aware install/track zip
generation
- tests: new landing.spec.js, expanded archive/mdedit/build-label specs
- docs: CLAUDE.md picks up the zddc-server section and freshens the
alpha-build exception note
- regenerated artifacts: install.zip, track-{alpha,beta,stable}.zip,
*_alpha.html — these are produced by `sh build.sh` and per project
convention are committed alongside the source changes

ZDDC — Zero Day Document Control. A file-naming convention plus five
single-file HTML tools (archive, transmittal, classifier, mdedit,
landing) and an optional Go HTTP server (zddc-server) with ACL and a
virtual archive index. Self-contained, offline-capable, dependency-free.
See README.md for an overview, AGENTS.md and ARCHITECTURE.md for the
build/release/architecture detail, bootstrap/README.md for the
two-level deployment install pattern, and zddc/README.md for the
