301 Moved Permanently is cached by browsers effectively forever — when
we changed /<project> no-slash from "redirect to slash form" to
"serve project landing" earlier today, anyone who had visited the URL
under the prior behavior got stuck on the cached 301 indefinitely. No
server-side fix is possible after the fact; only a manual cache clear
in each user's browser releases the binding.
Demote every routing-shape redirect to 302 Found, which browsers do
not cache by default. Five sites:
- handler/directory.go: no-trailing-slash → slash on directory URLs
- main.go (4 sites):
.archive/ canonicalization (deep /<project>/<sub>/.../.archive/
path collapses to /<project>/.archive/)
reviewing/<tracking> no-slash → slash
reviewing/ default-app fallback to slash form
generic IsDir + no-slash + no-default-tool fallback
301 → 302 trades "permanent semantics in the protocol" for "we can
change our mind later without trapping users on old behavior." For
these routes — all of which are convention-driven shapes the server
owns — the latter is what we want.
Test updates: five httptest assertions switch from
http.StatusMovedPermanently → http.StatusFound, plus five comment
strings ("301" → "302").

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.

The project landing page at /<project> had its own hand-rolled
header with <svg class="logo"> — not the canonical app-header__logo
class, and not loading shared/logo.js. So the logo on that page was
purely decorative while every other tool's logo (in the same beta
build) was wrapped by shared/logo.js into a clickable link to
/<project>. Inconsistent and surprising — clicking the logo from
mdedit/archive/etc. takes you to project landing, but clicking the
logo on project landing did nothing.
Inline the wrap directly in the template (the page is server-
rendered, so it can't lean on shared/logo.js the way bundled tools
do):
<a class="app-header__logo-link" href="/" title="ZDDC home">
<svg class="app-header__logo" ...>...</svg>
</a>
href="/" because "next up" from the project landing is the
deployment root (the project picker / landing tool).
Also rename .logo → .app-header__logo for visual consistency, and
add the matching hover/focus styles inline. The test asserts both
the wrapping anchor and the canonical class name.

GET /<project> (no trailing slash) used to 301 to /<project>/ which
served the browse listing. Now it serves a small server-rendered
landing page with:
- Four lifecycle-stage cards (archive/working/staging/reviewing)
linking to the no-slash form of each canonical folder, so each
card opens its default tool (archive view, mdedit sandboxed to
working/, transmittal at staging/, mdedit at reviewing/).
- A "Browse all files" link to the slash form for the generic
file tree.
- A "Master Deliverables List" section with step-by-step
instructions for editing any party's MDL plus direct links to
the MDL of each party already present under archive/ (sorted,
case-preserved). Falls back to a friendly "no parties yet"
message when the archive is fresh.
Trailing-slash form (/<project>/) is unchanged — still 200 +
embedded browse.html. The slash-vs-no-slash convention now extends
all the way up the URL tree:
/ → landing tool (project picker)
/<project> → project landing (this commit)
/<project>/ → browse
/<project>/working → mdedit
/<project>/working/ → browse
... etc.
Implementation:
- new internal/handler/projecthandler.go — IsProjectRootURL
predicate + ServeProjectLanding rendering an inlined html/template.
Page styles are inline; tokens mirror shared/base.css and
auto-flip on prefers-color-scheme: dark.
- dispatcher in cmd/zddc-server/main.go: at the IsDir branch's
no-slash fork, intercept depth-1 single-segment URLs before
the historical 301. Other depths still 301 unchanged.
Tests:
- internal/handler/projecthandler_test.go (4 cases): predicate
coverage; landing page renders project name + four stage cards;
on-disk parties surface as MDL links with case preserved; fresh
project falls back to the no-parties-yet copy.
- cmd/zddc-server/main_test.go TestDispatchSlashRouting: the
"project root no-slash → 301" case becomes "→ landing (200)".
