Menu refinements per review:
- "Open" now navigates into a folder (rescope); the separate "Navigate into"
item is removed. Zip → expand inline (can't navigate in); file → preview.
Inline expand stays on single-click / chevron / arrow keys.
- "New markdown file" → "New file".
- New folder / New file / Rename / Delete are now HIDDEN when the user lacks
the create/write/delete capability (folded into appliesTo) instead of shown
greyed — a guest gets a lean menu; users who can still see them. New
folder/file also remain on the toolbar.
- "Edit access rules…" is shown only when the user can actually edit them
(admin verb 'a' or subtree/site admin) — hidden otherwise, not greyed.
- Removed "Copy path" / "Copy name" — the info box (hovercard) carries the
name and a clickable URL now.
Info box (hovercard): dropped the on-disk "Path" row; the "URL" is rendered as
a clickable hyperlink (via the existing kvLink helper) — the shareable
reference, openable or right-click-to-copy.
Tests updated: file row omits New folder/file + Copy + Navigate; permission-
gated Rename/Delete are HIDDEN for a read-only server node and PRESENT for a
read/write/delete node (pure menuModel unit). All browse+conflict+diff green.

Reworks the browse menu/tree interaction into a declarative, contextually
honest model and moves view settings onto a toolbar — the menu is the UI to
the system, so it should be familiar, inviting, and only ever offer what
applies.
New declarative menu model (browse/js/menu-model.js):
- Every action is one descriptor with a TYPE predicate (appliesTo) and a
CAPABILITY predicate (enabled)+tooltip. Row/pane menus are projections over
it; separators are derived from group changes. Designed data-shaped so a
future server-sourced manifest (zddc.zip) can supply/extend it.
- Hybrid visibility: type-inapplicable actions are OMITTED (New folder on a
file, Expand on a file); permission/role/tier-gated actions are SHOWN
DISABLED with a reason — so a lower tier sees what a higher role unlocks.
- Roles are NOT hardcoded: ordinary actions gate on the verbs the server
returns (node.verbs / path_verbs), so any operator-defined role works. Only
the two intrinsically-special tiers are recognised by name — site admin
(is_super_admin) and project/subtree admin (path_is_admin), surfaced as the
"Edit access rules…" item; both come from the existing /.profile/access.
- The headline fix: New folder / New markdown file no longer appear on file
rows (they target a folder or the current dir).
events.js: deletes the ~350-line inline buildTreeRowMenu/buildPaneMenu/
SORT_BY_ITEMS; opens menus via menuModel projections through one openRowMenuFor
/openPaneMenu path shared by right-click, the hover kebab, and the keyboard
menu key (ContextMenu / Shift+F10). Injects action impls via menuModel.configure
to avoid a circular dep. Prefetches the scope /.profile/access (memoised) on
load/rescope/refresh/popstate so menus never fetch at open time.
Discoverability + a11y: a per-row ⋯ kebab (tree.js + new icon-ellipsis sprite,
revealed on hover/selection/focus) opens the same menu; keyboard menu key
supported.
Toolbar: Sort + Show-hidden moved OUT of per-row right-click menus into the
tree-pane toolbar, plus New folder / New file buttons (act on the current dir,
greyed with a reason when create access is lacking). Help copy updated.
Icons: dropped the 3 stray emoji from menu items (consistent, VS Code/Finder
style); only new sprite is the kebab's icon-ellipsis.
Tests: +5 browse specs (file row omits New-folder; folder row shows it; a
read-only server node greys Rename with a "write access" tooltip via a pure
menuModel unit; toolbar Sort/Show-hidden drive state + New buttons present;
kebab and Shift+F10 both open the menu). All 23 browse+conflict+diff green.

Two users editing the same file online could silently clobber each other:
the editor's save did a bare PUT with no precondition, even though the master
already enforces optimistic concurrency (fileapi.go checkIfMatch → 412). Now
the editor sends a precondition and surfaces a conflict UI instead of
overwriting.
- util.js: saveFile(node, content, contentType, opts) sends `If-Match: <etag>`
(or `If-Unmodified-Since` fallback) unless opts.force; returns {etag} from
the PUT response (so save→edit→save adopts the new version and doesn't
false-conflict); throws ConflictError (.status===412) on a precondition
failure so callers branch cleanly. New saveCopy() parks a conflicting edit
as `<stem>-conflict-<ts>.<ext>` (collision-probed) without losing either side.
- preview.js: getContentWithVersion(node) → {buf, etag, lastModified} captured
from the content GET (the listing JSON carries no per-file etag); threaded
into the editor ctx and exported. getArrayBuffer left untouched.
- conflict.js (new): shared, callback-driven dialog — mine-vs-theirs diff
(reuses zddc.diff + css/history.css) + Overwrite / Reload-theirs /
Save-a-copy / Cancel. Never calls saveFile/showFilePreview itself, so the
deferred Phase 5 cache-outbox conflict UI can reuse it with its own callbacks.
- preview-markdown.js / preview-yaml.js: capture + forward the version token,
adopt the returned etag on success, and on 412 open the dialog (Overwrite
re-fetches the current etag then re-saves — re-conflicts on a third writer
rather than blind-forcing; Reload clears dirty first so the renderInline
guard skips its confirm). FS-Access mode sends no precondition (no
concurrency) and never conflicts.
- build.sh: concat conflict.js after util.js.
- tests/conflict.spec.js (+ playwright project): If-Match sent, ConflictError
on 412, new-etag returned, force omits the precondition, dialog renders the
diff and each action resolves via its callback. Drives the fresh dist build
over file:// with a stubbed fetch (the test binary embeds the committed
browse.html, not dist, so a server-mode E2E would run stale code).
All browse + diff + conflict specs pass (18).

downloadFsSubtree pre-read every file's arrayBuffer() and handed the raw
ArrayBuffer to JSZip, so the entire subtree's bytes sat in the JS heap at
once before zipping — the likely OOM on a large local folder despite the
size warning. Hand JSZip the File (a Blob backed by disk) instead; it reads
each lazily during generateAsync, dropping peak memory to roughly the zip
output plus JSZip's working set.
Also document, on downloadUrl, why server-side download errors aren't
surfaced as toasts: the <a download> click is fire-and-forget, and the
folder path targets zddc-server's streamed virtual "<dir>.zip" endpoint —
routing it through fetch() to make errors catchable would defeat the
streaming for arbitrarily large archives. Left as a known, documented
limitation rather than a buffering regression.
All 6 browse Playwright specs pass.

Pure cleanup, no behavior change:
- tree.js: drop the unused setSort() method (only setSortExplicit is wired,
via the toolbar dropdown) and its doubly-stale comment (claimed there was
no sort UI — there is).
- app.js: remove the augmentRoot/passThroughEntries identity stub. It was a
leftover from when browse merged virtual canonical folders client-side;
zddc-server emits them now and nothing reads window.app.modules.augmentRoot.
- loader.js: splitExt now delegates to window.zddc.splitExtension (identical
behavior — lowercased, dotfile/trailing-dot → '') per the CLAUDE.md rule
that extension handling goes through window.zddc; drop the unused export.
- upload.js: remove the dead `else if (refreshUrl)` comment-only branch (and
the unused refreshUrl var) — refreshListing is always present since it was
exported.
- init.js: declare scopeCanonicalFolder, scopeOnPlanReview, and showHidden in
the state initializer. They were read/written across modules but never
listed in the canonical state shape (implicit undefined).
All 6 browse Playwright specs pass.

Every async flow that ends by replacing the tree root (refreshListing,
rescopeServer, reloadDir, and the app.js back/forward popstate handler) ran
without any concurrency guard. Two overlapping listings — a double-click into
a folder, a refresh fired mid-load, rapid back/forward — could resolve out of
order, so a slow fetch would setRoot/pushState on top of a newer navigation
and leave the tree out of sync with state.currentPath and the URL bar.
Introduce a shared monotonic nav-sequence token in events.js (beginNav /
isCurrentNav, exported so the app.js popstate handler joins the same
sequence). Each flow claims a token before its fetch and bails if a newer
navigation has started by the time it resolves — last navigation wins,
stale ones drop their result before mutating anything. navigateIntoFolder's
FS branch is reordered to mutate scope state only after a successful fetch +
token check, so a bail leaves the previous scope intact instead of
half-swapped.
Duplicate-fetch race fixed at the source: tree.loadChildren took only a
`loaded` check, so rapid Enter/ArrowRight key-repeat or a double-click
landing during a single-click's load fired two concurrent fetches that raced
in setChildren. Added a `loading` in-flight flag that serializes per-node
loads — the second caller is a no-op until the first resolves. This also
removes the need to await the fire-and-forget toggleFolder calls in the
keyboard handler.
Also surfaces reloadDir fetch failures via statusError instead of swallowing
them (the success path's create/rename/delete toast no longer hides a failed
refresh).
All 6 browse Playwright specs pass.

Nine copies of escapeHtml (some escaping single-quotes + handling null,
others not), two byte-identical hashContent hashers, two saveContent
writers, two isZipMemberNode predicates, the ISO-date + YAML-quote helpers
duplicated across the workflow modals, three /.profile/access email
fetchers, and three byte-size formatters had all drifted across the browse
modules. Hoist a single browse-local window.app.modules.util (no new global;
concatenated right after init.js) and alias the call sites to it.
Reliability fix folded in: the YAML editor's saveContent skipped the
upload.ensureWritable() escalation that the markdown editor performs, so
saving a .yaml/.zddc file to a read-only-picked local folder failed where
markdown succeeded. Both now go through util.saveFile, which always
escalates — the shared writer makes the two editors impossible to drift
apart again.
Canonical escapeHtml is the strict superset (escapes & < > " ', null →
"") so it's a safe drop-in for every prior variant. fmtSize gains the GB
tier everywhere (history.js previously capped at MB). Also removes the dead
stage.js fetchSelfEmail (defined, never called).
Net −200 lines across the modules. No behavior change beyond the save fix;
all 6 browse Playwright specs pass.

Workflow data-consistency cleanup across the transmittal modules.
Stale-tree / re-trigger hazard: Stage, Unstage, and Accept reported success
with "reload to see the move" and never refreshed, leaving the moved item at
its old location in the tree — inviting the user to re-fire the action on a
folder the server had already moved. They now refresh the current listing on
success. This also revealed that events.refreshListing was never exported,
so upload.js's comment-upload refresh (which guards on it) was silently a
no-op — exporting it fixes that path too.
Non-atomic stage: "New folder" does mkdir then a separate move; if the move
failed after the mkdir succeeded the user got a generic "move failed" with an
unexplained empty folder left behind. invokeStage now tracks whether it
created the folder and says so, and refreshes so the orphan is visible.
Double-submit: Accept / Plan Review / Stage / Unstage take a module-level
busy guard so a second menu click while a POST is in flight is ignored.
Modal listener leaks (verified): the Escape keydown handler in accept,
plan-review, and create-transmittal was only removed on the Escape path —
cancel / overlay-click / submit all leaked a live document listener bound to
a detached modal. Bound once and removed in close() (matching history.js).
history.js restore: split the PUT from the post-restore refetch so a refetch
error can no longer surface a misleading "Restore failed" after the restore
has already persisted.

The markdown/YAML preview editors were never disposed when switching to a
non-editor file: dispose() was only called from inside the same plugin's
render(), so md→PDF/image/YAML overwrote the pane via innerHTML and leaked
the Toast UI instance, its DOM, and document-level resizer drag listeners.
Unsaved edits were also discarded silently on any file switch (including
arrow-key auto-preview), and debounced change handlers could resolve after
an editor was disposed and write the wrong file's dirty/hash state.
preview.js now owns editor lifecycle centrally in renderInline:
- disposeEditors() up front before replacing the pane (fixes the leak for
every md/yaml → anything switch).
- dirty guard: deliberate switches (click/Enter/menu) confirm before
discarding; auto previews (keyboard cursor walking the tree, opts.auto)
leave the dirty editor in place rather than nagging per keystroke;
re-selecting the file already being edited is a no-op.
- a renderSeq token bails late-arriving loads so a slow file can't paint
stale content into the pane after a newer selection.
- clearPreview() exposed and used by rescope (events.js) and popstate
(app.js) so those resets dispose the editor instead of leaking it.
- beforeunload warns when an editor is dirty at page exit.
preview-markdown.js: per-mount AbortController wired into the resizer
document listeners so dispose() detaches them even mid-drag; debounced
change/save/convert handlers guard `currentInstance !== instance` so a
disposed editor's callbacks can't corrupt the active file; expose
isDirty()/currentNode().
preview-yaml.js: track dirty/node state, guard the change handler the same
way, expose dispose()/isDirty()/currentNode().

browse: the party picker reads the ssr/ registry (the authoritative party
list) and creates at physical peer paths <project>/<peer>/<party>/…;
"register new party" writes ssr/<party>.yaml first (party_source: ssr).
stage.js + accept-transmittal.js repointed to the top-level workspace peers
(working/staging/incoming) — received/issued + plan-review stay under the
WORM archive.
tables: mdl/ and rsk/ render the cross-party aggregate by recursing ONE
level into the party subdirs CLIENT-side (works online AND offline), with
$party from the server-injected row content (or derived from the subdir
offline). Rows carry the <party>/ prefix so reads/edits hit the real
per-party path. The server just lists the peer root normally (party subdirs
+ synthetic table.yaml/form.yaml) — the fs/tree flattening + ListRollupRows
are dropped in favour of this dual-mode client recursion.
Full Go suite + all 256 Playwright tests green.

DOCX/XLSX preview: add renderDocx (docx-preview) and renderXlsx (SheetJS)
to shared/preview-lib.js — the natural home alongside renderTiff/
renderZipListing, reusable by every tool. browse dispatches Office files
to them in both the inline pane and the pop-out window via the existing
preview.isOffice() check, and browse/build.sh now bundles the
docx-preview + xlsx vendors. Renderers degrade to a friendly message if a
tool doesn't bundle the vendor.
Overflow fix: .md-shell used `grid-template-columns: 280px 1fr`. A bare
`1fr` is `minmax(auto, 1fr)`, whose `auto` floor is the editor's
min-content width (Toast UI's toolbar) — so the content track refused to
shrink and the whole shell overflowed #previewBody as the window narrowed
instead of the editor reflowing smaller. Switch both tracks to
minmax(0, …) in the CSS and in the three JS spots that rewrite the
columns on sidebar-drag, and give .md-shell__sidebar min-width: 0.

Redesign the markdown edit-history store from content-hashed blobs +
log.jsonl to one self-describing file per save:
.history/<stem>/<ts>-<email>.<ext>
The filename IS the audit (colon-free UTC timestamp valid on SMB/Azure
Files + the authoring email); listing the directory is the history. No
sidecar log, no hashing. A byte-identical save is a no-op; a pre-existing
file lazy-seeds its current bytes (author "unknown", stamped at mtime).
Reverting copies an old snapshot back (records as a fresh save). Snapshots
are kept forever.
Fixes the 404 reading history: reads no longer require history to be
*currently* enabled — ServeTextHistory serves whatever .history/<stem>/
exists (empty list when none); the dispatch drops the EffectiveHistory
gate for reads. WRITES stay gated by the history: flag. (The 404 came from
the aggregator refactor turning history off on project-level working/,
which made already-recorded snapshots unreadable.)
Renames: an in-place rename carries .history/<stem>/ to the new name
(serveFileMove); a cross-dir move leaves it behind.
Defaults: history: true now ships on the three live-editing slots —
working, mdl, rsk — at both the project-level nodes and the per-party
folders. It's a .zddc cascade key, so operators override per project.
Records (.yaml in mdl/rsk) keep their separate record-history path.
Browse history viewer updated to the filename-based version id (id ←
sha). Tests rewritten for the per-file scheme + rename behavior + SMB-safe
names; HistoryAt defaults test updated.

The YAML viewer mounted CodeMirror with readOnly:'nocursor', which removes
the textarea from focus and kills click-drag selection — so copying a
read-only .zddc snippet was impossible without flipping on admin mode to
make it writable. Use readOnly:true instead: non-editable but focusable,
so the user can select and copy. autofocus:false still keeps arrow-key
tree navigation intact until they click into the editor.

Hovering a folder/file now shows "Your permissions" (the rwcda verbs you
hold there) and "Your roles" (the cascade roles you're a member of at that
location — e.g. document_controller, project_team). Roles are cascade-
scoped, so they can differ by location; this answers "does the system think
I'm a document_controller here?".
- server: RolesForPrincipalInChain(chain, email) resolves the caller's role
memberships at a path (honouring fences/resets, incl. embedded standard
roles); /.profile/access?path= now returns path_roles alongside path_verbs.
- browse hovercard: "Your permissions" from node.verbs (sync); "Your roles"
async-filled from /.profile/access?path= via zddc.cap.at (memoised).
Offline mode shows "local folder (filesystem)" and no roles row.
Tests: RolesForPrincipalInChain unit tests (member union, wildcard members,
non-member, fence-hides-ancestor-role, empty email).

Local folders are picked read-only, so create/edit/rename/delete were
either disabled or would fail. Now offline mode supports the same CRUD as
server mode, bounded only by what the filesystem grants:
- upload.js: ensureWritable() escalates the picked root to readwrite via
the FS-Access permission prompt on the first mutation (one prompt, then
granted for the session; requires the user gesture every caller has).
makeDir/makeFile gain FS-API branches (getDirectoryHandle/getFileHandle
{create:true} + createWritable) resolved through handleForDir; removeNode
and renameNode (already FS-API) now escalate first.
- preview-markdown.js: the markdown editor's save escalates before
createWritable, so editing a local .md persists.
- events.js: New folder / New markdown file menu items are enabled whenever
there's a writable target (server, or a picked local folder) via
canCreateHere(); rename/delete were already gated by canMutate (FS-API).
The aggregator party-picker stays server-only.

Creating a folder/file at a project-level folder-nav aggregator root
(working/staging/reviewing) used to error or silently shadow — the slots
are virtual and content is party-scoped. Now browse opens a party picker
that targets archive/<party>/<slot>/<name>, with a "+ New party…" option
(server-gated to the document_controller via the existing archive/ ACL).
- events.js: aggregatorRoot detection + openPartyPicker modal (mirrors the
stage.js modal), createInAggregator routes the create to the canonical
archive path; rewriteAggregatorPath handles right-clicking a party row
shown in an aggregator listing so it never re-prompts.
- server: serveFileMkdir now 409s a mkdir inside an aggregator
(rejectProjectAggregatorMkdir) with a pointer at archive/<party>/<slot>/,
instead of letting the write fall through to an unreachable shadow dir.
Reverts the prior session's project-level creator-owned working/ folders
(per the design decision to make all three folder-nav slots uniformly
party-scoped): working/ is a pure virtual aggregator again like
staging/reviewing — drops the working/ history+auto_own+acl defaults, the
EnsureCanonicalAncestors working exception, the working-root document-
controller file gate (serveFilePut/Move) and zddc.IsRoleMemberAt. Per-party
archive/<party>/working/ keeps its own history + auto-own.

Adds a "History…" context-menu item on markdown files in a history:true
subtree (server mode only — the audit is server-stamped). It opens a modal
that lists every saved version newest-first (timestamp + author + size,
current flagged), lets you View any version, Diff any two, and Restore one
(a forward PUT — non-destructive).
- shared/diff.js: dependency-free line/word LCS diff (window.zddc.diff),
prefix/suffix trimming + a cell cap so large files don't stall the UI.
- browse/js/history.js: the modal (list / view / diff / restore), talking to
GET <url>?history=1 and ?history=<sha>.
- loader.js carries the per-file history flag; events.js adds the menu item.
- Wired diff.js + history.js + history.css into browse/build.sh; diff.js into
the zddc-test.html shim. tests/diff.spec.js covers the diff algorithm.

.preview-pane__body was flex: 1 + display: flex; flex-direction:
column but without min-height: 0. The flex item's default
min-height is min-content (its natural content size), so when the
YAML editor's CodeMirror viewport carried many lines, the body
grew to fit the editor instead of letting the editor scroll
internally. The chain ran out of viewport before reaching the
editor's bottom edge; the body's own scroll bottomed out at a
height that still cropped the last few lines.
Adding min-height: 0 lets the body shrink to its flex-allocated
size so CodeMirror's internal scroll takes over correctly. Same
root cause as the standard flex+overflow papercut documented in
half the CSS guides on the internet — fine to add unconditionally,
no other consumers of .preview-pane__body care.

The persistent #statusBar strip held whatever last-action message
was written ("Loaded N items", "Created folder X", error text, …)
and stuck around indefinitely, overlapping content while adding
little value. Deleted the strip; existing statusInfo/statusError
call sites now thunk through window.zddc.toast (the shared toast
helper every tool already bundles).
- Same function signatures: events.statusInfo /
events.statusError keep working without touching the 70+ call
sites across app.js, download.js, events.js, etc.
- plan-review.js had its own private statusInfo/statusError pair
(duplicated the DOM write); updated to route through
zddc.toast as well.
- statusClear becomes a no-op — toasts fade on their own (5s
info, 8s error via cap-toast) and the toast helper's
single-toast policy guarantees only the latest is visible.
Removed: #statusBar div from template.html, .status-bar / .is-error
/ .is-info / --error / --info rules from base.css and tree.css.
Zero remaining `statusBar` or `status-bar` references in the built
browse.html. Full Playwright suite green (243/0/4).

Three modes again behave consistently after Part 3's per-entry
gating:
1. file:// (FS Access API picker) — fromHandle leaves verbs unset
(now undefined, not ""). The events.js Rename/Delete gates
skip the cap.has cascade check when typeof node.verbs is not
'string', so the items stay enabled per the original canMutate
contract.
2. Caddy file-server — fromServerEntry sees no verbs in the
listing and preserves undefined. Same skip applies; Rename /
Delete stay enabled but the underlying server will 405 the
POST/DELETE (same pre-Part-3 behavior). Markdown/yaml editors
still mount read-only via cap.has's writable fallback.
3. zddc-server — verbs is always emitted (possibly as "" for an
explicit zero grant). cap.has interprets the string and the
gates apply.
The previous "verbs ?? ''" normalisation collapsed (1)+(2) into the
explicit-zero case, which incorrectly disabled Rename/Delete in
offline mode. Tri-state verbs (string non-empty / string empty /
undefined) restores the intent.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Browse's row context menu and in-place editors now consult the
server-computed verbs string (via window.zddc.cap.has) before
enabling write/delete affordances:
- Rename… disables when the entry's verbs lacks 'w'.
- Delete… disables when verbs lacks 'd'.
- Markdown editor mounts read-only when verbs lacks 'w'.
- YAML editor mounts read-only when verbs lacks 'w' for regular
files, 'a' for the .zddc placeholder (matches the file API's
ActionAdmin gate at that URL).
Disabled menu items carry a tooltip naming the missing access
("You don't have write access to this item.") so the user discovers
which permission is missing rather than just seeing a greyed row.
shared/context-menu.js gains a `tooltip` field (string or fn(ctx))
that sets the row's title attribute.
canMutate() stays as the source-side gate (server vs FS-API
reachability, zip-member / virtual filtering); verbs gate composes
on top. Server-side ACL still has the final say if a stale client
ever tries the action.
cap.has() falls back to node.writable for 'w' when verbs is absent,
so offline FS-API mode keeps working without a server.

Three small helpers under window.zddc.cap, wired into every tool's
build:
cap.at(path) — Promise<AccessView|null>. Fetches
/.profile/access?path=<urlpath> and
memoises per-path for the session.
Used by tools to gate top-of-page
affordances on path_verbs / path_is_admin
/ path_can_elevate_grant.
cap.has(node, verb) — boolean. Reads the listing entry's
verbs string for the named verb.
Falls back to node.writable for 'w'
when verbs is absent (offline FS-API
listings or pre-promotion clients).
cap.handleForbidden(resp, — parses a 403 response's JSON body for
opts) missing_verb and renders an error
toast. When opts.path is supplied AND
the path-scoped access view reports
path_can_elevate_grant covering the
missing verb, the toast appends an
"Elevate" button that flips the
elevation cookie and reloads.
Browse loader.js + tree.js carry the new verbs field through to the
node objects so context-menu gating can call cap.has(node, 'w'|'d')
without changing the legacy node.writable contract. New CSS rule
.zddc-toast__action styles the inline Elevate button.
Concatenation order: cap.js comes after toast.js + elevation.js so
the dependencies (window.zddc.toast, window.zddc.elevation) are
present at module-load time.

May 2026 reshape. archive/ is now the only physical project-root
directory; working/, staging/, reviewing/ move from the project root
into each archive/<party>/ folder. Six top-level URLs become virtual
aggregators served via the cascade rather than disk:
ssr/mdl/rsk tables rollups across parties with a
synthesised $party source-party column
working/staging/ browse folder-nav listings of parties with
reviewing non-empty content in the slot; per-party
URLs 302-redirect to archive/<party>/<slot>/
Mkdir at the project root is restricted to `archive` and `_`/`.`-
prefixed system names — virtual aggregator names and ad-hoc folders
return 409.
Plan Review hardcodes the scaffold convention (archive/<party>/
{reviewing,staging}/<tracking>/); the pre-reshape
on_plan_review.{reviewing_root,staging_root} cascade keys are dropped.
document_controller is now subtree-admin of every archive/<party>/
(not of project-root working/staging/ as before), so per-party
lifecycle slots inherit admin authority through the cascade.

Releases publish only two things per tool now: a current-stable
canonical symlink and an immutable per-version file. No more channel
mirrors (_stable/_beta/_alpha) and no more partial-version pins
(_v<X.Y>, _v<X>) — those were debt from a release model that never
matched the project's actual usage.
The `./build beta` verb stays, but narrowed: it's an internal SHA
snapshot for the BMC dev chart pipeline (chart's appVersion pins to
"<X.Y.Z>-beta-<sha>" and the chart Dockerfile fetches that SHA from
git). No public artifact on /srv/zddc/releases/. The embedded/* +
chore commit produced by `./build beta` is the actual snapshot.
`./build alpha` is removed entirely.
build/build-lib.sh:
- Drop alpha verb; narrow beta verb to embedded regen + chore commit
- promote_release: stable cut writes <tool>_v<X.Y.Z>.html + <tool>.html
symlink + <tool>.html.sig companion symlink; beta is a no-op
- promote_zddc_server: same shape — per-version binary +
per-platform canonical symlink (zddc-server_<plat>) + .sig symlink
- write_zddc_server_stub: singular; emits per-version stubs +
one canonical zddc-server.html for current stable
- Delete _promote_channel, verify_channel_links, _channel_is_active
- Seed-from-live now copies only per-version files + .sig + pubkey.pem
(the canonical symlinks get rewritten by this cut; old layout files
get cleaned by deploy's --delete-after)
- build_releases_index: dropdown simplified to "latest stable +
pinned versions"; channels-explainer section removed; tool cards +
CTA URLs point at canonical <tool>.html / zddc-server_<plat>;
composer emits "stable" sentinel for `apps:` entries
- Fix the acl:{allow:[...]} footgun in the apps_pubkey example
apps.go:
- isValidChannelOrVersion: accept only "stable" + exact X.Y.Z
(drop alpha/beta and partial pins v0.0/v0)
- normalizeChannel: same
- Resolve URL composition: stable → canonical <prefix>/<app>.html
(no _stable_ suffix), exact-version → <prefix>/<app>_v<X.Y.Z>.html
- Tests rewritten to match (beta/alpha replaced with v0.0.4 / stable;
a new TestParseSpec_RejectsLegacyChannelsAndPartialPins locks in
that the removed forms now error)
browse/build.sh: gate promote_release on $is_release like every other
tool's build.sh (longstanding inconsistency that errored under the new
promote_release case-statement).
freshen-channel: deleted (no channels to freshen).
Net: -254 lines, all green on full `go test ./...`. Dev build verified
via `./build` (no-arg) — new label format "v<next>-dev · <ts> · <sha>".

The markdown editor's save handlers (markDirty, save(), convertBtns
intercept) referenced a bare identifier `writable` that never existed
in their scope — the captured variable was named `writableMode`. JS
silently evaluates `!undefined` to true, so saveBtn.disabled stayed
true forever and Ctrl-S was a no-op. The download-as-* intercept
treated every dirty file as read-only and offered the "save a copy
elsewhere" toast.
YAML editor had the matching-name pattern (`writable` defined and
referenced) so the symptom was hidden, but the same stale-closure
shape: capture once at mount, never re-read when the underlying tree
node's writable bit changed.
Fix both: gating logic reads canSave(node) fresh at every click, not
from a closure. Mount-time captures stay for initial UI shape
(read-only banner, CodeMirror readOnly:'nocursor') where the decision
is correct at the moment it's applied.
Codify the pattern in AGENTS.md § "JS module pattern":
no bundler + no reactivity layer ⇒ closures don't refresh ⇒ read
fresh in handlers, never cache.

The browse SPA's URL bar now reflects the currently-selected node and
the show-hidden toggle, so:
- bookmarking / copy-pasting the URL re-opens the same view
- reload (forced by the admin-mode toggle, which has to reload to
pick up the elevation cookie) lands the user back on the same
selection with intermediates expanded
- browser back/forward walks history correctly, re-applying both
the scope AND the file/hidden state at each step
Implementation:
events.js: syncURLToSelection() — builds <scope>/?file=<rel>&hidden=1
via URLSearchParams (with %2F → '/' so the URL bar reads cleanly)
and history.replaceState's it. Called from every selectedId set
site (single-click, arrow-key nav, right-click), from the show-
hidden toggle, and after rescopeServer's scope pushState so the
new scope keeps the hidden flag.
app.js bootstrap: reads ?hidden=1 in addition to the existing
auto-flip-on-dotfile logic, so an explicit hidden toggle survives
reload.
app.js popstate: re-walks ?file= via openDeepLink so back/forward
restore not just the scope but the selection + expansion path.
Also re-applies hidden=1.
Choice: replaceState (not pushState) on selection changes — the only
"intentional" navigation step is the scope rescope (already pushState).
A long click sequence shouldn't pollute history.
What this doesn't cover: sibling folders the user expanded that aren't
on the path-to-selection. Persisting that needs sessionStorage; for
"as much as possible without overcomplicating" the URL-only state
captures scope, selected node, and the path-to-selection (auto-
expanded by the deep-link walker) — the most common case.
FS-API mode (offline / file://) is a no-op — no shareable URL.

Root cause of "I'm root admin but the editor says read-only."
loader.js parses the listing JSON and stamps `writable` onto the raw
entry. tree.js:newNode() then copies every other field (name, url,
isDir, size, modTime, ext, handle, virtual …) into the tree node —
but dropped `writable`. So `node.writable` was always undefined and
`canSave(node)` short-circuited to false, mounting the YAML and
markdown editors read-only even for an elevated admin where the
server had correctly stamped writable=true.
Symptom: red banner / read-only mode regardless of admin status.
Server-side log line was correct (elevated=true active_admin=true
chain_admin_level=0); the bit just never reached the editor.
One-line fix: include `writable: !!raw.writable` alongside `virtual`
in the tree-node initialiser. Verified end-to-end against the live
bitnest fixture — every entry now carries the bit through.

Three UI cleanups against the admin/browse chrome.
Red admin-mode frame (shared/elevation.css)
Was: body { outline: 3px ... ; outline-offset: -3px } — an outline
doesn't reflow content, so in tools that butt their content to the
viewport edge (browse split-pane, archive grid) the frame painted
on top of the first 3px of content.
Now: body.is-elevated::after { position:fixed; inset:0; border:3px;
pointer-events:none; z-index:9200 }. The frame lives in its own
fixed layer above all content, so it never overlaps or steals
clicks; content layout is unchanged.
Project-stage strip (Archive · Working · Staging · Reviewing)
Low-value chrome. Removed entirely:
- delete shared/nav.js + shared/nav.css
- drop the include from every tool's build.sh
(browse, transmittal, form, archive, landing, tables, classifier)
- delete tests/nav.spec.js
- rebuild tables.html (the //go:embed'd baked-in copy)
Project navigation already happens through the directory tree in
browse and the URL bar; the strip duplicated breadcrumb information
without adding capability.

Single audit pass that removes pre-release back-compat, consolidates the
admin-policy decider, and fixes the .zddc write path.
Field removal — acl.allow / acl.deny:
- Drop ACLRules.Allow / Deny struct fields and mergeLegacyACL().
- Remove walker / lookups / validate / decider branches that read them.
- Migrate every test fixture (YAML strings and ACLRules struct literals)
to acl.permissions: { principal → verb-set }.
- Rewrite both bundled Rego policies (access.rego, access_federal.rego)
to traverse level.acl.permissions; rewrite parity-test helpers.
- Update create-project form (profile page) to collect permissions
instead of allow/deny lists.
Admin decider consolidation:
- Delete zddc.CanEditZddc — strict-ancestor rule retired. Subtree admins
own their own .zddc; the policy decider's IsActiveAdmin short-circuit
is the single bypass site.
- Migrate tablehandler.ServeTable to AllowActionFromChainP — closes the
same Forbidden bug already fixed for /browse.html.
- Drop AccessView.EditableParentChoices and treeEntry.CanEdit (always
true after the retirement). Profile page renders AdminSubtrees
directly for both lists.
- Drop the excludeLeaf parameter from AdminLevelInChain /
IsAdminForChain — no production caller passed true.
Dead code removed:
- policy.AllowWriteFromChain (zero production callers, zero tests).
- zddc.AllowedWithChain (zero production callers; tests deleted).
ModeStrict retirement — federal posture is OPA-only:
- Delete cascade_mode.go / cascade_mode_test.go and the ModeStrict
branches in cascade.go and acl.go.
- Drop --cascade-mode flag, CascadeMode config field, and the
InternalDecider.Mode field.
- Drop the mode parameter from every cascade helper:
GrantedVerbsAtLevel, AllowedAction, EffectiveVerbs,
EffectiveVerbsRange, RoleMembers, MatchesPrincipal,
MatchingPrincipals, WormZoneGrant, PolicyChain.VisibleStart.
- Strip cascade_mode from /.profile/config and
/.profile/effective-policy responses.
- Refresh README / ARCHITECTURE.md to describe federal posture as
"deploy OPA with access_federal.rego" (NIST AC-6); the bundled Rego
is the parent-deny-is-absolute variant. The in-process Go evaluator
implements only the commercial cascade.
Legacy redirects + .admin.css fallback:
- Drop /<dir>/.zddc.html → ?file=.zddc redirect and its test.
- Drop ?zip=1 retired comment + legacy test (handled by the
.zip virtual-URL path; covered by TestServeSubtreeZip).
- Drop .admin.css fallback in profile_assets.go — only .profile.css now.
- Refresh stale "retired" / "back-compat" / "legacy" comment markers.
.zddc write path fix:
- Dispatcher: route only GET/HEAD on .zddc URLs to ServeZddcFile; carve
.zddc out of the dot-prefix guard so PUT/DELETE/POST reach
ServeFileAPI. Before this, .zddc writes 405'd at ServeZddcFile and
the YAML editor's save flow had no live path.
- ServeFileAPI.resolveTargetPath: same .zddc-leaf carve-out so the file
API accepts the path; intermediate dot dirs (.zddc.d/) stay reserved.
- Listing: compute Writable per-file with ActionAdmin for .zddc
(matches the file API's gate) instead of ActionWrite for everything.
- Virtual .zddc placeholder: compute Writable via the same
parentActiveAdmin || ActionAdmin path. Was always false before.
- browse YAML editor canSave: exempt virtual .zddc — the synthetic
body is designed to materialize on PUT.

- Read-only markdown files mount as Toast UI Viewer, which already
has no edit toolbar / no caret — the absence is itself the cue.
Drop the explicit red banner; keep the disabled-Save tooltip.
- YAML front-matter textarea no longer shows a placeholder example
(title/date/tags). A file without front matter renders as a
genuinely empty pane instead of looking like it has content.
- YAML editor's banner stays — CodeMirror readOnly has no
built-in visual signal beyond the disabled caret.

Listing JSON gains a writable bool per file row, computed by running
the policy decider with ActionWrite against the parent-dir chain
(with the same admin-bypass branch the file API uses). Cost: one
extra decider call per file in the listing, sharing the parent
chain so the cascade walk is amortized.
Browse loader stores writable on every tree node. The markdown and
YAML editors read it and gate their canSave + initial mount:
- !writable markdown → Toast UI Viewer (rendered, no edit toolbar,
no caret). Banner above explains why save is disabled.
- !writable YAML → CodeMirror readOnly:'nocursor' (selection for
copy, no caret). Banner above explains why save is disabled.
Both editors gain autofocus:false so keyboard nav in the browse
tree doesn't divert into the editor — arrow keys keep moving through
files and folders without the caret jumping. User clicks (or tabs)
into the editor when they actually want to type.
.zddc files already route through preview-yaml's isZddcFile path;
bare .zddc (no ext) matches because that function checks the
literal name.

Document-level keydown handler covers the W3C tree-view pattern so
users can drive the browse pane without the mouse:
↓ / ↑ — move selection (auto-previews files as the cursor
lands so the right pane keeps up)
→ — expand collapsed folder; jump to first child if
already expanded; no-op on leaves
← — collapse expanded folder; otherwise jump to parent
Enter / Space — preview file / toggle folder
Home / End — first / last visible row
Bails out cleanly when focus is in an input/textarea/contenteditable
or when a modal / context menu is open, so it doesn't fight existing
filter typing, YAML editor, or the right-click menu's own keys. Any
modifier (Ctrl/Cmd/Alt) lets the browser shortcut through unchanged.
Selection updates scroll the now-current row into view via
scrollIntoView({block:'nearest'}). Tree module gains a visibleIds
export so events.js can walk the same filtered+expanded order the
renderer uses.

Two small surface upgrades on file rows:
- Tree icon column now stacks the Lucide glyph on top of a small
uppercase extension chip (PDF, DOCX, YAML, etc.). File type reads
at a glance without expanding the row. Folders and zips skip the
chip — their glyph already carries enough.
- Hovercard on a ZDDC-parseable file gains two clickable references
in the .archive section:
Latest → /<project>/.archive/<tracking>.html
This revision → /<project>/.archive/<tracking>_<rev>.html
Both forms are dispatcher-canonicalised to project-root, so the
link works from any depth. Folders that parse (transmittal folders)
get just the Latest link.

Folders the cascade declares but disk doesn't carry (working/,
staging/, reviewing/, mdl/, the canonical folders before they're
materialised) previously got just opacity:0.65 + an "(empty)" hint —
easy to miss, especially next to dimmed-but-real items.
Now they read as placeholders at a glance:
- Dashed left rail (2px, accent-muted) inside the row gutter.
- Italic label in muted text color.
- Lucide icon switches to outline-only (fill:none + stroke:currentColor)
so virtual folders look sketched, not filled.
- "(empty)" hint italic + accent-muted to match the rail.
- Selected virtual row keeps the rail but switches it to the
selection accent so "selected + placeholder" reads as both.

Two layers shipped together since the second builds on the first.
LAYER 1 — reviewing/ + Plan Review scaffolding
- reviewing/ is now a real folder under each project, populated by the
Plan Review composite endpoint. The old reviewing/ virtual aggregator
handler is retired.
- POST /<project>/archive/<party>/received/<tracking>/ with X-ZDDC-Op:
plan-review scaffolds physical workflow folders under reviewing_root
and staging_root, each carrying .zddc.received_path pointing back at
the canonical submittal. Idempotent re-runs match by received_path
and re-converge the ACL.
- Virtual received window: when listing or writing under
<workflow>/received/, the server resolves through the canonical
archive/<party>/received/<tracking>/ via the workflow's
.zddc.received_path. Writes get rewritten to
<workflow>/<base>+C<n><suffix> so review comments land in the
workflow folder and never touch the WORM archive.
- Cascade defaults declare on_plan_review per project so the
reviewing_root and staging_root are configurable.
LAYER 2 — browse context-menu workflows
- Accept Transmittal: right-click a transmittal folder in
archive/<party>/incoming/ → validates ZDDC folder + filename
conformance, atomic-renames the folder to
archive/<party>/received/<tracking>/ (WORM zone), and optionally
chains into Plan Review in the same composite request. Re-acceptance
with a different revision merges file-by-file; WORM forbids
overwrite of an existing filename.
- Stage / Unstage: right-click files in working/<…>/ → "Stage to…"
with picker of existing staging transmittal folders + inline
"New transmittal folder…" create; right-click files in
staging/<…>/ → "Unstage to working/" defaulting to the user's
working/<email>/ home. Reuses the file-API move primitive.
- Create Transmittal folder: right-click the staging/ pane → prompts
for a ZDDC-conforming folder name with live validation; mkdir,
then navigate to the new folder URL where the transmittal tool
serves the editor.
- Supporting infrastructure: new CanonicalFolderAt cascade lookup +
X-ZDDC-Canonical-Folder response header so the browse SPA can
scope-gate menu items without re-implementing the cascade
client-side.

Replace `?zip=1` / `?convert=docx|html|pdf` query forms with path-suffix
URLs that look like ordinary files. `<dir>.zip` and `<file>.docx` /
`.html` / `.pdf` are virtual files served by the dispatcher when stat
fails at the requested path AND the corresponding base resource exists:
GET /Project-1/archive.zip ← if archive/ is a real directory
GET /Project-1/notes.docx ← if notes.md exists
Real on-disk files always win — a genuine archive.zip in the tree
serves its bytes normally. The virtual forms only fire when nothing
real is there.
Why: the URL form lets clients emit plain <a href> without query-
string handling; `curl -O` writes a sensible filename; mirror tools
pick up the path through normal recursion; the protocol surface
becomes "every URL is a file". Bash + filesystem mental model.
Server:
- New helpers handler.RecognizeVirtualSubtreeZip /
RecognizeVirtualConvert (in subtreezip.go and converthandler.go).
- Dispatcher's stat-fails branch checks them between IsDefaultMdlSpec
and MatchAppHTML. ACL is enforced on the base resource (the source
directory for zip, the .md source for convert).
- Three legacy query-form branches removed from main.go.
Client:
- browse/js/download.js: `dir + '.zip'` instead of `dir + '/?zip=1'`.
- browse/js/preview-markdown.js: convert anchor hrefs become
`<mdUrl-minus-.md>.<fmt>` instead of `<mdUrl>?convert=<fmt>`.
- shared/zddc-source.js downloadConverted: same transform.
Tests: subtreezip_test.go test URLs cosmetically updated to the new
shape (the handler is exercised directly, so the URL is metadata only,
but the test reads better).

Major upgrade to the browse tool's UX, plus a few shared modules other
tools can adopt.
User-facing:
- Right-click context menu on tree rows AND empty pane space. Traditional
file-manager grouping (Open / Download / New / Rename-Delete / Copy /
Tree ops / View). Items stay visible but disabled when not applicable
so muscle memory carries. Generic shared/context-menu.js framework
supports normal items, toggles, submenus, separators, danger styling.
- YAML editor for .yaml / .yml / .zddc files (CodeMirror 5 vendored at
shared/vendor/codemirror-yaml.min.*). js-yaml lint on every change
for parse errors. For .zddc cascade files, an additional schema-aware
lint pass flags unknown keys, bad enum values, and wrong types.
- Per-row drag-drop upload using webkitGetAsEntry (folder uploads work
recursively). Per-row drop indicator; doc-level overlay still fires
for blank-space drops at drop_target scopes.
- New folder / New markdown file context-menu items (server mode).
Rename + Delete with native confirm() dialog. File-API helpers
removeNode / renameNode use the existing PUT/POST/DELETE endpoints.
- Hover info card with the row's full metadata (ZDDC fields + filesystem
info + path/URL). Interactive — mouse into it, drag-select text,
Ctrl/Cmd-C or right-click → Copy. 200ms grace before dismiss.
- Autofilter input at the top of the tree pane. Same grammar as
archive's column filters (zddc.filter.parse / matches). Filters
files; folders without matches collapse out. Non-matching folders
force-open visually when descendants match, without mutating the
user's actual expand state.
- Two-line ZDDC label: title-first, tracking/rev/status as monospace
meta below. Icon column anchors to the title line. Chevron is a
Lucide outline `chevron-right` SVG, rotated 90° on `.expanded`.
- File-type Lucide icon sprite (shared/icons.js — 16 outline glyphs,
~5 KB). PDF / Word / Spreadsheet / Slides / Image / Video / Audio /
CAD / Web / Config / Code / Archive get distinct icons; folders
tinted with --primary.
- Header wraps gracefully at narrow viewports (shared/base.css
flex-wrap + title min-width:0 ellipsis). Body becomes flex column
in browse so a wrapping header doesn't break #appMain height.
- Markdown editor opens in WYSIWYG mode by default. YAML front-matter
+ TOC sidebar reworked: flexbox layout (single visible resizer
between FM and TOC), both bodies overflow:auto for X+Y scrollbars.
- `?file=<path>` deep links open browse pre-positioned at a specific
file. Multi-segment paths walk into subdirectories on the way.
Auto-flips Show hidden when a segment is dot/underscore-prefixed.
- Refresh + show-hidden toggle preserve expansion / selection /
preview pinning. Path-keyed snapshot survives a re-fetched listing.
- "Add Local Directory" → "Use Local Directory" across the four tools
that have it (browse, archive, classifier, +transmittal comment).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds a UI checkbox next to the existing Sort dropdown that surfaces
hidden entries when ACL would otherwise allow read. Default off
(matches today's filtered behavior). On toggle, browse re-fetches
the current directory with ?hidden=1 and re-renders.
┌─ browse toolbar ─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Sort: [Name (A→Z) ▾] ☐ Show hidden │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Server-side surface:
- internal/fs/tree.go ListDirectory gains an `includeHidden bool`
parameter. The .-prefix filter (previously hard-coded) now also
drops _-prefix entries (matches dispatch's reserved-prefix guard)
and honors the new flag.
- internal/handler/directory.go reads `?hidden=1` from the request
and threads it through.
- cmd/zddc-server/main.go dispatcher relaxes its dot-prefix and
_-prefix guards for GET/HEAD when `?hidden=1` is set, so clicking
a hidden entry's link works. `_app/` (apps cache) stays
unconditionally reserved — those bytes must go through the apps
resolver. Writes to hidden paths stay blocked (the file API has
its own segment check that the flag does NOT relax).
- internal/listing/listing.go: signature parity (the lower-level
helper that's used by tests + non-cascade listing paths).
Security model unchanged: the ACL chain on the parent dir is the only
real gate. Whoever can read the dir can see its contents — toggling
"Show hidden" just stops the client-side filter from masking
.-prefixed and _-prefixed entries. Hidden paths today:
• <dir>/.zddc ACL YAML — already exposed via /.profile/zddc
• <dir>/.converted/<base> cached MD→DOCX/HTML/PDF, same sensitivity as source
• <root>/.zddc.d/tokens/ per-token metadata; filename = sha256(token)
so not bearer-usable. Default root ACL
restricts to admins; matches /.tokens UI.
• <root>/.zddc.d/logs/ access logs; same admins-only audience
• <root>/_app/ cached upstream tool HTML (public)
• <root>/_template/ install.zip scaffolding (public)
None of these contain bearer credentials or secret material that the
existing ACL doesn't already gate. The walls are still the cascade.
Drops the `download` attribute and adds `target="_blank"`. Click now
opens the conversion URL in a new tab; the server's
Content-Disposition: inline routes each format to a sensible
behavior in that tab:
• HTML → renders as a web page
• PDF → opens in the browser's PDF viewer
• DOCX → auto-downloads (browser can't render Office Open XML),
tab is transient
Right-click → "Save Link As" still works for explicit save-to-disk.
Side benefit for debugging: when the conversion endpoint returns
422 or 503, the response body appears as a plain-text page in the
new tab, which is easier to triage than a transient toast.
Right-click → "Copy Link Address" / "Open in New Tab" / "Save Link
As" now work natively, so users can share the conversion URL or pick
their own download path. The buttons are styled <a href> elements
instead of <button>, with the `download` attribute set to the
expected filename (foo.docx etc.) so a plain click still downloads.
Click handler simplifies a lot: on clean buffer, the handler returns
immediately and the browser handles the navigation. On dirty buffer,
the handler intercepts, auto-saves, then re-fires the click — which
re-enters the handler with dirty=false and falls through to the
native navigation. No more JS fetch + blob + objectURL plumbing for
the common path.
Side effect: if the server returns 422 or 503, the browser shows the
response body in the target tab. That's less polished than the
previous toast, but it's also a more direct view of what the server
actually said. The toast path stays in shared/zddc-source.js's
downloadConverted helper for tools that prefer the JS-driven flow.
The markdown editor's DOCX/HTML/PDF download buttons silently no-op'd
because the gate `typeof window.zddc.source.downloadConverted ===
'function'` always failed: browse rolls its own server-mode detection
(state.source === 'server' + node.url) and never needed the shared/
zddc-source.js polyfill before. The new download helper lives on
window.zddc.source, so browse needs to bundle it.
Adds ../shared/zddc-source.js to browse/build.sh's concat_files list,
right after preview-lib.js. Bundle gains ~12 KB; tools that don't
need the polyfill (browse doesn't use HttpDirectoryHandle directly)
pay a small footprint cost in exchange for getting the helper.
Two improvements to browse's preview-markdown plugin so it can replace
the standalone mdedit tool:
1. **YAML front-matter editing.** The FM pane above the outline used to
render a read-only <dl> of parsed keys — sparse and unusable when
the file had no envelope yet. It's now a dedicated <textarea> that's
always present. On load, parseFrontMatter() splits the `---\n…\n---`
envelope off the body: the body feeds Toast UI Editor, the envelope
feeds the textarea. On save, assembleContent() recombines them.
Dirty tracking covers both halves via a SHA-256 of the assembled
bytes. The shell mirrors mdedit's old layout (FM textarea top,
outline below) but the FM pane is now always functional, eliminating
the "empty pane over the TOC" problem.
2. **Download as DOCX / HTML / PDF.** When the file handle is HTTP-
backed (server mode) and the file is a .md, three buttons appear in
the info header next to Save. Clicking one fetches the server's
?convert=<fmt> endpoint and triggers a browser download with a
clean filename (foo.md → foo.docx). Auto-saves the buffer first if
dirty so the converted bytes reflect what's on screen.
Helper at window.zddc.source.downloadConverted (shared/zddc-source.js)
so other tools — archive, transmittal — can reuse the same flow later.
Friendly error messages map HTTP 503 / 422 / 504 to actionable toasts.
A "⤓ Download (zip)" button in the browse toolbar (shown once a
directory is loaded) downloads the directory you're currently
viewing — and everything under it you're allowed to see — as a single
.zip. Navigate into a subfolder first to grab just that subtree.
- Server mode: an <a download> at "<currentPath>?zip=1" — zddc-server
streams the ACL-filtered zip (see the previous commit), nothing held
in the browser.
- Offline (file://) mode: new browse/js/download.js walks the picked
folder with the FS-Access API in two passes — metadata first (so it
can confirm() before loading >~2000 files / ~500 MB into memory),
then bytes — bundles with the already-vendored JSZip, and triggers a
blob download. Hidden entries (".":/"_"-prefixed) are skipped, the
zip's top level is "<folderName>/…" so it unpacks tidily, and the
status bar shows progress.
Wired in browse/js/events.js (button click + show/hide alongside the
refresh button); concatenated into browse/build.sh; ARCHITECTURE.md +
AGENTS.md note the ?zip=1 endpoint and the button.

New shared/zip-source.js: a ZipDirectoryHandle / ZipFileHandle pair
that exposes a JSZip instance behind the File-System-Access surface
(values/entries/keys, getDirectoryHandle/getFileHandle, getFile) —
read-only, with a zip-slip guard. Mirrors shared/zddc-source.js's
HTTP polyfill. Wired into archive's and browse's build.sh (both
already bundle JSZip).
archive: a .zip whose name minus ".zip" parses as a transmittal-folder
name is now scanned as that transmittal folder. Offline, the zip is
opened in the browser (ZipDirectoryHandle) and its members enumerated
exactly like an uncompressed folder's files — table/export/hash paths
are unchanged (they go through file.handle.getFile()). Online, the
scanner recurses into the server's "<…>.zip/" virtual-directory
listing, so members come back as "<…>.zip/<member>" URLs the server
extracts on demand — no whole-zip download.
browse: the offline (file://) zip path is migrated onto the shared
adapter — expanding a .zip now opens it as a ZipDirectoryHandle and
its members become ordinary dir/file nodes handled by the normal
fetchFsChildren path (nested zips fall out by recursion). The bespoke
flat-entry walker (loadZipChildren / setZipDirChildren / zipEntries /
zipParentId / zipPath / _zipSyntheticDir) is gone — one zip
implementation repo-wide. Markdown members inside a zip are flagged
read-only (the ZipFileHandle refuses createWritable; server "<…>.zip/"
URLs 405 on PUT).

When browse runs against zddc-server, expanding a top-level .zip now
fetches "<…>.zip/" as a normal directory listing (the server extracts
members on demand) instead of downloading the entire archive and
parsing it with JSZip in the browser. Members open/preview via their
real server URLs like any file. Nested zips (a .zip inside a .zip) and
FS-API (offline) mode keep the existing JSZip path; offline gets
migrated to a shared adapter in the next change.

The /incoming/ path regex in browse/js/grid.js was the second-most
visible client-side hardcode of the canonical convention. Migrating
it to the cascade:
Header surface:
X-ZDDC-Default-Tool: <name> The cascade-resolved default tool
for the listing's directory. Empty
header = no default declared.
Client wiring:
loader.fetchServerChildren reads the header into
state.scopeDefaultTool on every listing fetch (initial mount,
rescope on dblclick, popstate). grid.classifierAvailableHere
now returns scopeDefaultTool === 'classifier' instead of
regex-matching the URL.
Effect:
Grid mode auto-activates wherever the cascade picks classifier
as the default — currently archive/<party>/incoming per
defaults.zddc.yaml. An operator who sets default_tool: classifier
on a custom directory gets grid mode there too, no code change.
An operator who removes the default at incoming sees grid mode
stop auto-activating there.
Bootstrap timing fix:
The initial events.init() runs applyResolvedViewMode before the
detection fetch completes, so state.scopeDefaultTool is empty
at that point and grid never auto-activates on first paint.
app.js bootstrap now re-applies the resolved view mode after
autoDetectServerMode returns, so a fresh /incoming URL lands
on grid mode immediately.
The /incoming/ regex is gone. Two client hardcodes remaining
(archive source heuristics, shared/nav stage strip) — Phase 4c/d.

The last hardcoded client-side knowledge of the canonical convention
was the upload-zone regex in browse:
var UPLOAD_SCOPES = /\/(working|staging|incoming)(\/|$)/i;
Now declared in the cascade:
Schema:
drop_target: true|false leaf-only; describes THIS dir
(not propagated to descendants)
Lookup:
zddc.DropTargetAt(root, dir) bool
Surfaced to clients:
Directory listings carry an X-ZDDC-Drop-Target: true response
header when the cascade declares this leaf as an upload zone.
No header = no drop target.
Defaults populated:
working / working/* / staging / archive/<party>/incoming
all carry drop_target: true. Operators can extend (e.g. drop
files on archive/<party>/received via override) or disable
(e.g. drop_target: false at a specific staging subtree) without
touching code.
Browse migration:
loader.fetchServerChildren reads the response header and stamps
state.scopeDropTarget on every listing fetch. upload.js's
currentScopeAllows now reads that flag instead of regex-
matching the URL. Initial value is false in init.js so a
listing failure (offline / server doesn't emit the header)
safely defaults to "no drop zone".
Phase 4a closes the most visible asymmetry between server-side and
client-side cascade knowledge. The remaining client hardcodes
(browse grid-mode regex, archive source heuristics, shared/nav
stage strip) follow the same pattern when needed — Phase 4b/c/d.

Drop files anywhere on a browse page; if the current scope is inside
a working/, staging/, or incoming/ subtree the files are PUT to the
current directory via the existing file API. Per-file ACL is enforced
server-side (authorizeAction); a 403 surfaces as a per-file error
toast and the rest of the batch proceeds.
UX:
- dragenter → semi-transparent overlay with a dashed-border panel
showing the destination path. Hides immediately on dragleave or
drop.
- drop → "Uploading N files…" toast, then per-file failure toasts
inline, then a summary toast (success / partial / all-failed).
- listing auto-refreshes after the batch so new files appear in
the tree without a manual reload.
Scope:
- upload-eligible paths are matched by /\/(working|staging|incoming)
(\/|$)/i — same convention as the new grid-mode URL token.
- 256 MiB per-file cap (UPLOAD_MAX_BYTES) since browse's single-
body PUT loads the file as a Blob in the tab; larger uploads
should use a dedicated client.
- Outside the upload-eligible set the overlay never appears; drops
are silently ignored (drag effect = none).
Sequential uploads keep progress predictable; parallel batching can
land later if needed. The module hooks document-level dragenter/leave
/over/drop so it works regardless of which pane the user drags over.

User feedback: the Grid toggle button was on every page and showed an
explanatory empty state when classifier wasn't available — adding UI
to explain why UI didn't work. Cleaner approach: drop the button,
make the URL the source of truth, and default grid mode automatically
inside the only context where it's meaningful.
Behavior:
- Inside any incoming/ path (case-insensitive segment match):
→ grid mode by default
- Everywhere else:
→ browse mode
- Explicit overrides via query string:
?view=grid forces grid (only honored where classifier is
available; otherwise falls back to browse)
?view=browse forces browse (always)
UI changes:
- The Browse/Grid pill toggle is gone.
- grid.js drops both empty-state messages; outside an incoming/
path it just does nothing.
- events.js owns resolveViewMode() / applyResolvedViewMode(),
called on initial mount and after every client-side rescope
(dblclick + popstate).

User report: project root listings showed both "Archive" (PascalCase on
disk) and "archive (empty)" (lowercase virtual) — confusing duplicates.
This sweep:
1. Test fixture migrated to lowercase canonical folder names.
tests/data/test-archive.sh now creates archive/, received/, issued/
on disk. Three projects also get human-friendly .zddc titles
("Wabash Industrial Refit — Phase 1", etc.), and Project-3 carries
a display: override demonstrating the new map. Party names
(PartyA/B/C) stay unchanged — non-canonical.
2. New .zddc display: schema. Maps a child entry's on-disk name to a
human-friendly label. The on-disk name stays canonical (lowercase
for project-root folders); only the rendered label changes. Match
is case-insensitive. Example:
display:
archive: "Records"
working: "In-Progress"
No upward cascade — a parent .zddc doesn't relabel grand-children;
each directory sets display: on its own children.
3. listing.FileInfo gets a DisplayName field. fs.ListDirectory reads
the directory's .zddc display map and stamps DisplayName per entry.
The field is omitempty so listings without overrides stay
byte-identical to before.
4. Virtual canonical project-root folders (archive/working/staging/
reviewing) are now emitted by zddc-server (fs.ListDirectory) at any
project root where the on-disk variant is absent in any case. This
replaces the client-side injection in browse and lets the display:
map apply to virtual entries the same way it applies to real ones.
Browse drops its withVirtualCanonicals helper; the loader carries
display_name through from the server's listing.
5. Archive app project picker dropdown shows the .zddc title of each
project (sourced from ProjectInfo.Title in the server's project
list), falling back to the folder name when no title is set. When
they differ, the folder name is rendered in muted mono after the
title for traceability. data-name still carries the canonical
folder name so URL state stays stable.
