A new HTML tool — browse — that lists the contents of any directory.
Designed for ZDDC archives but no ZDDC-specific filtering; just a
straight folder browser with expand/collapse, sort, and name filter.
Modes (auto-detected at page load):
- Online: when served by zddc-server at a folder URL, queries
the same URL with Accept: application/json to load the listing
and renders it. Auto-served as the default at any directory
under ZDDC_ROOT without an index.html (replacing the previous
minimal-HTML stub from directory.go).
- Local: 'Select Directory' button uses FileSystemAccessAPI to
pick any folder on disk; works in Chromium-based browsers.
Features (Phase 1 — what's in this commit):
- Tree view with lazy-loaded folders (children fetched on first
expand).
- Sort by name / size / extension / date (column header click).
- Filter by name substring (toolbar input).
- File click opens in a new tab — for server-backed pages,
routes through zddc-server's normal handler so .archive
redirects + apps cascade overrides + ACL all apply.
Phase 2 deferred:
- ZIP files inline expansion (treat archive entries as virtual
children).
- File preview popup (reuse shared/preview-lib.js).
- Extension multi-select filter.
Wiring:
- browse/ added to top-level ./build's per-tool list, embed
block, versions.txt, and the lockstep release commit + tag set.
All seven tools (archive, transmittal, classifier, mdedit,
landing, form, browse) advance together on stable cuts.
- shared/build-lib.sh: browse added to ZDDC_RELEASE_TOOLS and
verify_channel_links's per-tool loop.
- zddc/internal/apps/embed.go: //go:embed browse.html +
EmbeddedBytes("browse") case.
- zddc/internal/apps/availability.go: browse available at every
directory (same as archive).
- zddc/internal/apps/handler.go: MatchAppHTML routes
/<dir>/browse.html → 'browse'.
- zddc/internal/handler/directory.go: when a directory request
arrives with Accept: text/html and no index.html exists,
serve the embedded browse.html bytes (with a JSON-fallback
if the embedded slot is empty during bootstrap).
Two related fixes to the lockstep release flow + the project invariant
that prod must always run stable bytes (and dev only ever beta-or-stable).
1) tag-after-commit ordering. `./build release X.Y.Z` previously
regenerated zddc/internal/apps/embedded/* with stable labels but
tagged BEFORE folding those changes in. The tag landed on the
source-side commit (alpha-dirty embedded), and the operator was
expected to commit the embedded changes as a follow-up — which got
dropped in practice, leaving prod binaries with alpha-dirty bytes
baked in. (See the v0.0.9 re-anchor in the immediately preceding
commit for the manifestation.)
Refactor:
- _promote_stable / promote_zddc_server in shared/build-lib.sh
no longer call `git tag`. They keep their pre-flight check
(now: tag must be in HEAD's history rather than == HEAD, since
HEAD will advance after the release commit).
- Top-level ./build adds a new "Release commit + tag" block at
the end of stable cuts: stages the regenerated embedded files,
makes a `release: vX.Y.Z lockstep` commit, and tags all seven
artifacts at the new commit. Idempotent — no commit if there
are no changes.
2) bake-in invariant. Plain `./build` and `./build alpha` now
leave zddc/internal/apps/embedded/ untouched — the binary keeps
shipping whatever the last beta or stable cut wrote. `./build
beta` and `./build release` are the only paths that update
embedded bytes. Active dev iteration uses tool/dist/<tool>.html
directly; the binary's embedded copy is the default fallback,
not a workbench.
Verification on this commit:
./build → embedded mtime unchanged, no "M" lines for embedded/
./build alpha → embedded mtime unchanged, no "M" lines for embedded/
Docs updated to match in CLAUDE.md "Things that bite" + AGENTS.md
"Releasing — lockstep" + the leading help text in ./build itself.
Schema-driven form renderer plus zddc-server endpoints that turn any
<name>.form.yaml into a working data-collection form at <path>/<name>.form.html.
Submissions land in <path>/<name>/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<email-sanitized>.yaml,
ACL-gated by the existing .zddc cascade. The form posts back to its own URL;
the server strips ".html" and routes by what's underneath, so create and
update use the same client-side code path.
Form spec dialect: JSON Schema 2020-12 + RJSF-style ui:* hints, written in
YAML. Chosen for LLM authorability — it's the canonical structured-output
target for OpenAI/Anthropic, and the ui:* convention is the most-trained UI
hint vocabulary. Supported subset for v0: type (string/number/integer/boolean/
array/object), enum, min/max, minLength/maxLength, required, additionalProperties:
false, properties, items, format (date, email). Round-trip mode is form-as-truth:
submission YAML is regenerated each save, comments are not preserved (the v1
file-as-truth mode for hand-edited files like .zddc itself is deferred).
New components:
* form/ — sixth single-file HTML tool, vanilla JS renderer (~760 LoC)
* zddc/internal/jsonschema/ — focused JSON Schema validator covering only
the v0 keyword subset. Match-implementation-cost-to-surface-used: a full
library brings 70%+ surface we don't use; revisit when v1 adds $ref +
oneOf + if/then/else.
* zddc/internal/handler/formhandler.go — RecognizeFormRequest / ServeForm,
capability-URL re-edit, atomic submission writes via the new
zddc.WriteAtomic helper extracted from writer.go.
* dispatch() in zddc-server/main.go now intercepts *.form.html and
*.yaml.html before the static-file path; spec existence is the trigger.
Build pipeline: form joins ZDDC_RELEASE_TOOLS in lockstep, gets its own
embedded copy in handler/form.html (separate from the apps cascade —
the form renderer is fixed, not subject to per-folder version overrides).
Tests: 5 new Playwright specs (form-safety) + 14 new Go tests across the
validator and handler. All 172 Playwright tests + 10 Go packages green.
End-to-end manual verification: GET empty → POST 201 + capability URL →
GET re-edit (pre-filled) → POST update → 200, raw YAML browsable, ACL
deny → 403.
Docs: form/ section added to AGENTS.md and ARCHITECTURE.md. AGENTS.md
also documents the implementation-vs-dependency policy. CLAUDE.md repo-shape
list extended.
Deferred (v1+): .zddc editor migration onto this system, file-as-truth
lossless YAML round-trip, ui:show-when conditional visibility, oneOf/anyOf,
apps-cascade preview hook, cascade-fetched form definitions.

Migrates from in-repo orphan `website` branch + LFS to a two-repo +
deploy-host model so source editing is fully decoupled from live state.
- Source code stays here (codeberg.org/VARASYS/ZDDC).
- Hand-edited website content moves to a separate Codeberg repo
(codeberg.org/VARASYS/ZDDC-website, cloned at ~/src/zddc-website/).
- Live site is /srv/zddc/ on the deploy host (Caddy bind-mount),
populated by ./deploy from this repo's dist/release-output/ plus
~/src/zddc-website/.
- Releases are no longer in any git history — reproducible from
<tool>-vX.Y.Z tags via `./build release X.Y.Z`. No LFS, no
Codeberg release assets.
Build/deploy split:
- ./build (no arg) is source-only; nothing in dist/release-output/
or /srv/zddc/ is touched.
- ./build alpha|beta|release seeds dist/release-output/ from
/srv/zddc/releases/ (preserving symlinks), then mutates the
channel(s) being cut on top. The bundle is always a complete
intended-live snapshot, so the verifier sees a complete world
and ./deploy --releases (rsync --delete-after) replaces live
state cleanly.
- New ./deploy wraps the rsync flow with --content / --releases
subcommands.
Docs updated to reflect the new model: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md,
ARCHITECTURE.md, zddc/README.md, README.md, .gitignore, shared/
build-lib.sh comments, deprecated zddc/release.sh message.

Reverts the prior CLI simplification. ./build (no arg) now does source
work only — tool dist/ + cross-compiled zddc-server binaries — and
leaves the website worktree alone. Channel/release cuts are explicit:
./build dev build (source only, no deploy)
./build alpha cut alpha (cascades nothing)
./build beta cut beta (cascades alpha → beta)
./build release [X.Y.Z] cut stable (cascades all)
Rationale: editing source shouldn't have a side-effect on the live
site. The website worktree at ~/src/zddc-website/ is what Caddy serves
in real time, so any write to it is a deploy. Treating dev iteration
as alpha-publish was confusing — the user wanted source builds and
deploys to be distinct verbs.
Mechanically: a `dev` (default) branch is added to the case statement;
the post-build matrix-index regen + channel-link verifier are
conditional on RELEASE_CHANNEL being set; dev builds skip them.

Renames build.sh → build and replaces the --release flag form with
subcommands:
./build cut alpha (default; active dev iteration)
./build beta cut beta (cascades alpha → beta)
./build release cut stable (coordinated next version)
./build release X.Y.Z cut stable at explicit version
./build help
The contract shift: there's no longer a "plain dev build that doesn't
touch channels" at the top level. Every full-stack build is a publish
action — running ./build IS active dev iteration, which is what alpha
already meant. To iterate on one tool without writing to the website
worktree, use the per-tool sh tool/build.sh (unchanged).
Output continues to land in ${ZDDC_DEPLOY_RELEASES_DIR:-$HOME/src/zddc-website/releases}
and nothing is pushed automatically. Commit + push the website branch
yourself when you want to publish. Stable cuts still tag locally on
main; tags push separately too.
Behind the scenes: the export of ZDDC_DEPLOY_RELEASES_DIR is moved
above the per-tool build.sh invocations so children inherit it. The
prior "if RELEASE_CHANNEL else write_zddc_server_stubs_all" branch is
collapsed since RELEASE_CHANNEL is always set under the new CLI.
Docs (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, zddc/README.md) updated
to reference ./build everywhere; the per-tool sh tool/build.sh refs
stay (they're a separate, narrower entry point).
