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).

Visiting `/Project-1/archive/PartyA/mdl` (no trailing slash) errored with
`Unrecognized table URL` because tableNameFromUrl only matched
`…/<rowsdir>/table.html`. The cascade declares `default_tool: tables` at
`archive/<party>/mdl`, so the server serves the tables HTML at the bare
directory URL — a shape the client didn't recognize.
Two coordinated fixes:
- shared/zddc-source.js `pathToDir`: was over-eagerly stripping the last
segment when the URL didn't end in `/`. Now checks whether the last
segment contains a dot — file URLs strip to parent (original behavior
preserved), bare-directory URLs append the missing slash. Only call
site is detectServerRoot, so blast radius is contained.
- tables/js/context.js `tableNameFromUrl` + `rowEditUrl`: accept both
legacy `…/<rowsdir>/table.html` and the new bare-directory shape.

The on-page label for `--release alpha|beta` cuts used to read
`vX.Y.Z-channel · YYYY-MM-DD · word-word-word`. The three-word slug
(derived deterministically from the source SHA via shared/build-words.txt)
was meant to make "is this the same build you emailed about?" a glance
check, but the cute-words layer turned out to be more confusing than
clarifying — testers prefer a real timestamp + short SHA.
New label shape, identical to plain dev builds:
vX.Y.Z-channel · YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS · <short-source-sha>[-dirty]
Helper renamed from _source_commit_slug to _source_commit_short_sha,
returning the short SHA of the source commit (walking past any
`chore(embedded): cut …` commit at HEAD so a re-cut on unchanged
source produces the same SHA). The wordlist file is no longer
referenced and is removed; tests/build-label.spec.js's regex
simplified to require the full timestamp + SHA form.
mdedit/ is gone. Its functionality moved into browse's preview plugin
(browse/js/preview-markdown.js) — YAML front matter editing, outline,
and on-demand DOCX/HTML/PDF download all happen there. Browse is the
default_tool for working/ + reviewing/ as of the previous commit, so
existing URLs of the form /<project>/working land on browse without
operator action.
Removed:
• mdedit/ source tree (Toast UI app, CSS, JS, template, build.sh)
• zddc/internal/apps/embedded/mdedit.html (//go:embed blob)
• tests/mdedit.spec.js + the "mdedit" project in playwright.config.js
• mdedit entries in zddc/internal/apps/embed.go (//go:embed, var,
switch case in EmbeddedBytes)
• "mdedit" in zddc/internal/zddc/validate.go AppNames + the matching
error-message app list
• "mdedit.html" branch in zddc/internal/apps/handler.go MatchAppHTML
• mdedit case in tests (handler_test.go, validate_test.go,
zddchandler_test.go) — test fixtures now use browse/classifier
• mdedit from build (per-tool build.sh loop, tool-list literals,
composer cards) and shared/build-lib.sh ZDDC_RELEASE_TOOLS
• mdedit from freshen-channel's tool list and usage banner
• mdedit-specific paragraphs in AGENTS.md and ARCHITECTURE.md;
Markdown Editor section in ARCHITECTURE.md rewritten to point at
browse/js/preview-markdown.js
• mdedit from CLAUDE.md, README.md, zddc/README.md tool lists
Historical mdedit_v*.html / mdedit_v*.html.sig files in
/srv/zddc/releases/ on the deploy host are immutable history — they
stay where they are. The next ./build release cut will simply not
produce new mdedit_v* artifacts.
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.
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).

The shared/nav.js stage strip previously hardcoded four stages
(archive/working/staging/reviewing) with their labels and target
URLs baked into the file. Operators couldn't add a fifth stage or
rename "Working" to "In-Progress" without forking shared code.
Now cascade-driven end-to-end:
Server-side:
listing.FileInfo gains a Declared bool field. fs.ListDirectory
stamps Declared=true on every entry whose name matches the
cascade's ChildrenDeclaredAt(parent) — both real on-disk dirs
and virtual canonical injections. Bugfix in the same patch:
virtualCanonicalFolders was passing the relative dirPath to
ChildrenDeclaredAt (which expects absolute); now passes absDir.
Client-side:
shared/nav.js fetches the project root's JSON listing on
DOMContentLoaded, filters to declared+is_dir entries, sorts by
canonical workflow order (archive → working → staging →
reviewing, then any extras alphabetically), and renders the
strip. Labels read e.display_name → falls back to titleCase(name).
Hardcoded FALLBACK_STAGES kicks in only on fetch failure
(offline / file:// / non-zddc-server backend). Rendered
immediately so the strip appears without flicker, then the
cascade-fetched list replaces it once available.
Effect:
Project-3 (which has display: { archive: "Records",
working: "In-Progress", ... } in its .zddc) now shows
"Records · In-Progress · Outbox · Pending Responses" in every
tool's strip. Project-1 still shows "Archive · Working ·
Staging · Reviewing". No code change to render either; the
cascade decides.
Tests:
- tests/nav.spec.js relies on the mock server returning HTML at
every URL, so the fetch fails over to fallback stages — the
test renders the same Archive/Working/Staging/Reviewing labels
it always did, with no test changes needed.
- All 248 Playwright + all Go tests green.
Remaining client-side hardcode: archive/js/source.js +
archive/js/app.js's mode detection. Phase 4d.

The shared header strip pointed Working/Staging/Reviewing at the slash
form (working/, etc.), which now serves browse per the slash/no-slash
convention established earlier. The user expected those links to open
the stage's tool (mdedit for working, transmittal for staging, etc.) —
which is what the no-slash form serves.
Also drops the .html suffix from the archive target: <project>/archive
(no slash) → archive tool, same as the other stages. The currentStage
recognizer still accepts /archive.html as a fallback for any direct
URLs that survive in bookmarks.

Only transmittal had any @media (max-width) rules; the other seven
tools silently break below ~900px. Adds a baseline shared rule that
every tool inherits — desktop-first stays the same, but a tablet in
landscape or a window split next to a document remains usable.
@media (max-width: 800px):
- tighter header padding + gaps
- .app-header__title drops 18px → 16px
- .build-timestamp inside .header-title-group hidden (it's
traceability info, not a primary affordance — still reachable
via help panel)
- header text buttons get a smaller padding so they fit
@media (max-width: 480px) phone-width:
- .app-header switches to column layout
- .header-left and .header-right each span full width with
justify-content: space-between
prefers-reduced-motion was already covered for the page-load stagger.
Each tool can still override in its own css/layout.css; this is the
shared floor.

The header is the first thing a user sees. A short staggered fade-in
(logo → title → action button → right-side icons over ~360ms) turns the
instant-pop-in feel into a subtle "the tool is composing itself" beat.
Pure CSS @keyframes (no JS), cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.7, 0.2, 1) for the
"settle in" easing curve. Respects prefers-reduced-motion. Total budget
~260ms before everything is visible — well under the threshold where it
becomes a perceptible delay.

System-default font stack ('-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI,
…') is the textbook generic admin-tool look. The tools have a real point
of view (engineering documents, traceability, immutability); the
typography should reflect that.
Picks:
--font → IBM Plex Sans (400 + 600). UI body text. Distinctive
engineering sans with tabular nums and proper figures.
--font-display → Source Serif 4 (600). Headings, page titles,
.app-header__title. Reads as "document" not "UI label."
--font-mono → unchanged. Platform mono fonts are already excellent
and engineering tools rarely benefit from a custom mono.
Wiring:
- Raw .woff2 files live in shared/fonts/ (~60 KB total, latin subset,
SIL OFL 1.1 — both families)
- shared/fonts.css is base64-inlined data URIs for those three fonts
(~80 KB after b64 overhead). Generated once from the snippet in
shared/fonts/README.md.
- Every tool's build.sh prepends shared/fonts.css before shared/base.css
so @font-face is parsed before any rule references the family names.
- Headings (h1-h6) and .app-header__title now use var(--font-display);
.app-header__title bumped 17→18px and letter-spacing reset since the
serif doesn't need the original sans-text tightening.
- table/code/.tabular-nums get font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums so
tracking-number columns align vertically.
"Ship the record player with the record": zero CDN dependency at render
time. Tools render identically offline and online. Per-tool dist sizes
grew by ~80 KB.

There are 76 alert() call sites across the eight tools — three different
ad-hoc error-surfacing patterns (alert, console.error, classifier's own
showToast). Touching every site is a sweep with no judgment payoff:
every alert is "something went wrong, the user should know," which is
exactly what toast at level='error' is for.
Shim is one if-block at the bottom of shared/toast.js. It saves the
native window.alert as window.alertNative (so any truly modal-blocking
call site can opt back in by name), then replaces window.alert with a
function that forwards through window.zddc.toast(msg, 'error'). Effect
is global — every existing alert in every tool becomes a non-blocking,
ARIA-announced (aria-live=assertive) toast that the user can click to
dismiss.
handler/tables.html refreshed by ./build as a side effect (it bakes the
current tables/dist/ into the binary every build).

The previous dark-mode --primary (#4a90c4) had ~3.3:1 contrast against
the white button text we pair it with — below WCAG AA 4.5:1 for
normal text. The brand-blue darken/lighten pair is unchanged in light
mode (#2a5a8a, where contrast vs white is comfortable); only the
dark-mode token moves.
--primary: #4a90c4 → #5fa8e0 (≈4.6:1 vs #fff)
--primary-hover: #5ba3d9 → #74b6e6
--primary-active: #6ab5e8 → #88c4ec
Same change applied to both the `@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)`
block (auto) and the `[data-theme="dark"]` block (manual override).

Reshape browse from "tree-as-table with popup preview" into a unified
file-experience tool with three layered behaviors:
Phase A — Two-pane shell
Phase B — Markdown plugin (Toast UI inline)
Phase C — Grid mode (classifier workflow)
Phase D — Deprecation banners on standalone classifier + mdedit
= Phase A: two-pane shell + lightweight preview plugins =
Browse's table view becomes a tree-pane on the left + preview-pane on
the right with a draggable resizer. Click a folder → expand inline.
Click a file → render in the right pane. The previous popup window
becomes an explicit "⤴ Pop out" button in the right-pane header for
users with a second monitor.
Preview rendering reuses shared/preview-lib.js (PDF iframe, image
<img>, TIFF, ZIP listing, text <pre>). Unknown types show a download
link. browse/js/preview.js refactored into renderInline (default) +
renderInPopup (Pop out button); both share the same plugin
dispatch logic.
Filter rows were already removed earlier this session. Sort columns
likewise — the tree is alphabetical by default; the underlying
setSort API still exists for future re-introduction.
= Phase B: markdown plugin =
New browse/js/preview-markdown.js: when a .md or .markdown file is
clicked, the right pane mounts a Toast UI editor (initial-value =
file contents) with a small toolbar containing Save + dirty indicator
+ status text. Save sends PUT through the file API for server-mode
files; non-server sources are read-only for now (deferred to a
follow-up that wires zddc-source.js writes too). Ctrl+S / Cmd+S
inside the editor saves.
Toast UI Editor (~700 KB JS + ~160 KB CSS) was previously bundled
only in mdedit/vendor/. Moved to shared/vendor/ so browse and mdedit
both pull from one location.
= Phase C: grid mode =
View-mode toggle [Browse | Grid] in the toolbar. Grid mode loads the
classifier tool as an iframe scoped to the current directory (server
mode at working/staging/incoming locations) — classifier's full
bulk-rename workflow without leaving browse. v1 implementation; a
future iteration could bundle classifier's modules directly into
browse for tighter integration. Hostile cases (file:// origin, paths
outside working/staging/incoming) show a friendly explanation
instead of a blank iframe.
new browse/js/grid.js handles the activation logic.
= Phase D: deprecation banners =
mdedit and classifier standalones gain a "this tool is being absorbed
into Browse" advisory banner. Both standalones remain fully
functional and continue to ship — they're useful for offline single-
file editing and air-gapped environments. The banner just points
users toward the unified browse experience.
= Files =
+ browse/js/preview-markdown.js (markdown plugin)
+ browse/js/grid.js (grid-mode plugin)
M browse/template.html (two-pane layout, view toggle, banners)
M browse/css/tree.css (two-pane CSS, replaces table styles)
M browse/js/init.js (state additions: selectedId, viewMode)
M browse/js/tree.js (rowHtml: <tr>+<td> → <div>)
M browse/js/preview.js (renderInline / renderInPopup split)
M browse/js/events.js (toggle wiring, resizer, click handlers
adapted from <table> to <div>)
M browse/build.sh (Toast UI vendor + new modules)
R mdedit/vendor/toastui-* → shared/vendor/ (one bundle, two tools)
M mdedit/build.sh (paths)
M mdedit/template.html (deprecation banner)
M classifier/template.html (deprecation banner)
M tests/browse.spec.js (selectors updated for new layout +
new "click file → preview" test)
Bundle sizes after this commit:
browse: ~1020 KB (was ~290 KB; added Toast UI ~700 KB)
classifier: ~1470 KB (unchanged from prior baseline)
mdedit: ~2140 KB (unchanged; vendor location moved but not added)
What's deferred:
- TOC + front-matter pane in browse's markdown plugin (mdedit has
these; browse v1 uses just the editor).
- FS-API writes from browse's markdown plugin (server PUT works).
- Classifier modules bundled directly into browse (v1 uses iframe).
- Sort UI in the new tree (model still supports it; no widget yet).

Removes every runtime CDN load. The "ship the record player with the
record" philosophy: a downloaded .html file works offline against any
file the user can open, with no network dependency at runtime.
Newly vendored under shared/vendor/:
- xlsx.full.min.js (SheetJS, 928 KB) — XLSX/XLS preview
- utif.min.js (UTIF, 57 KB) — TIFF preview
Already there but now used by mdedit too:
- jszip.min.js, docx-preview.min.js
Call sites updated to drop the `await loadLibrary(URL)` pattern —
since the vendor JS is concatenated into the inline <script> at build
time, window.XLSX / window.JSZip / window.UTIF / window.docx are
available synchronously from page load.
Per-tool changes:
- archive/build.sh: +xlsx, +utif
- classifier/build.sh: +xlsx, +utif
- transmittal/build.sh: +xlsx, +utif
- mdedit/build.sh: +jszip, +docx-preview, +xlsx, +utif
(mdedit was the only tool not yet
bundling any of the preview deps)
- browse/build.sh: +utif
- archive/js/table.js, classifier/js/preview.js,
transmittal/js/files-preview.js, mdedit/js/file-tree.js (×2):
drop the `await loadLibrary('…cdn…')` lines.
- shared/preview-lib.js:
drop the loadLibrary(UTIF) / loadLibrary(JSZip) wrappers; assume
window.UTIF and window.JSZip are present.
Net bundle-size delta after baking:
archive: +990 KB → ~1.47 MB
browse: +57 KB → ~292 KB
classifier: +990 KB → ~1.43 MB
mdedit: +1100 KB → ~2.09 MB
transmittal: +990 KB → ~1.63 MB
Docs (AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md) updated: removed the "runtime CDN
loading exception" paragraph and the table row that flagged xlsx as
CDN-loaded.

Three tools (archive, browse, classifier) independently implemented
an empty-state pattern with three different CSS class naming
conventions and slightly different rules:
archive: .empty-state + .empty-state-content (BEM-less)
browse: .empty-state + .empty-state__inner (BEM)
classifier: .empty-state + .empty-state-content (BEM-less)
Same visual intent ("nothing's loaded yet — here's a welcome card
with instructions"), implemented three times with subtly different
spacing, no shared body styling for h2/p/ul/li, and incompatible
class names that prevented a future tool from copy-pasting the
pattern.
Promote a single consolidated rule set to shared/base.css using
BEM naming throughout:
.empty-state — base (flex centered, padding)
.empty-state--overlay — modifier: position absolute,
top 50px to clear app-header,
z-index 10. Used by archive
and classifier (their empty
states sit OVER the main
layout).
.empty-state__inner — content card (left-aligned,
text-muted, max-width 640)
.empty-state__inner--centered — modifier: tighter max-width
500, centered text, 2rem
padding. Used by tools whose
welcome screen reads as a
centered card.
.empty-state__inner h2/p/ul/ol/li — typography defaults
.empty-state__inner .note — italic small-print
.welcome-list — bullet list with left-aligned
text + auto margins; safe to
nest inside a centered card.
Per-tool changes:
- archive/template.html, archive/js/app.js: rename
.empty-state-content → .empty-state__inner empty-state__inner--centered;
add .empty-state--overlay to the outer .empty-state container.
Also the runtime-injected unsupported-browser markup in
showUnsupportedBrowserMessage() and the showHttpErrorState
selector.
- classifier/template.html: same renames.
- archive/css/layout.css + components.css: delete .empty-state*
and .welcome-list rules (now in shared).
- classifier/css/layout.css: same. Keep .empty-state.drag-over
locally — classifier is the only tool whose empty state acts
as a drop target.
- browse/css/base.css: delete .empty-state* (shared covers it).
browse's template was already using .empty-state__inner so no
template change needed.
LOC: shared/base.css gains ~70 lines; per-tool overrides lose ~85
combined. Net -15. More importantly, future tools can reuse the
pattern by adding two divs and (optionally) the --centered or
--overlay modifiers; no copy-paste required.

Five tools (browse, transmittal, landing, form, tables) were rendering
their headers as vertically-stacked blocks — the .app-header flex
container correctly laid out its left/right groups, but those groups
themselves had no display:flex rule, so their children (logo, title,
build label, action button) defaulted to block-level stacking.
Three tools (archive, mdedit, classifier) hid the bug because they
each carried their own copy of the .header-left/.header-right flex
rule in tool-local CSS. Same intent, slightly different gap values:
archive: left gap 0.75rem, right gap 0.5rem
mdedit: both 0.75rem
classifier: both 0.5rem
Promote the rule to shared/base.css alongside .app-header (where the
class is used in every template anyway): left 0.75rem, right 0.5rem
(matching archive — the layout the user pointed at as the reference).
Delete the three local duplicates.
Now all eight tools use the same header chrome contract: logo + title
group + primary action laid out horizontally with consistent gaps,
icon buttons grouped tighter on the right.

The .app-header__logo SVG was decorative on every tool. Web's
strongest convention is "click logo → go home" — so users tapping
it expecting that fallback got nothing. Now the logo is wrapped in
an anchor whose href reflects the URL the page was loaded from:
file:// → no wrap (no server home to point at)
/ → wrap, href=/ (deployment root)
/index.html / /<tool>.html → wrap, href=/ (root, no project)
/<project>/... → wrap, href=/<project> (project landing)
The wrap happens client-side at DOMContentLoaded via shared/logo.js,
loaded by every tool's build.sh after toast/nav. Idempotent — a
template-supplied anchor or a second mount call is a no-op.
The companion shared/logo.css adds a subtle hover/focus affordance
(opacity 0.82, focus ring) so the logo reads as clickable without
otherwise altering its visual weight. Tools opt out by setting
window.zddc.logo.disabled = true before DOMContentLoaded (e.g. for
deployments that pin the logo to an external destination).
Five Playwright tests (tests/logo.spec.js) lock the contract:
no-wrap on file://, href=/ at root, href=/<project> in project
subtree, aria-label matches target, idempotent re-mount.

Implements the reviewing/ aggregator described in the saved
project memory (~/.claude/projects/-home-user-src-zddc/memory/
project_reviewing_folder_design.md). reviewing/ stays in
VirtualOnlyCanonicalNames — never materialised on disk — and is
served as a join over archive/<party>/received/, archive/<party>/
issued/, and staging/, recomputed on every read.
Two depths, both trailing-slash:
GET <project>/reviewing/?json=1
→ array of virtual <tracking>/ entries, one per submittal in
archive/<party>/received/ that doesn't yet have a matching
archive/<party>/issued/ entry. Sorted by tracking. URLs stay
under reviewing/ so the user can drill into the per-submittal
view. ACL: per-party, filtered like fs.ListDirectory.
GET <project>/reviewing/<tracking>/?json=1
→ array of two virtual entries, received/ + staged/, with
canonical URLs pointing back to archive/<party>/received/...
and staging/... respectively. staged/ is omitted when no
response draft exists yet.
When the response moves staging/ → archive/<party>/issued/, the
entry vanishes from depth-0 on the next listing. No mutation of
the reviewing/ subtree itself; pure join, recomputed on read.
Front-end at <project>/reviewing[/<tracking>/] is mdedit (per
user request). DefaultAppAt + AppAvailableAt extended to recognise
"reviewing" as a canonical mdedit-bearing folder. The polyfill in
shared/zddc-source.js is updated to follow listing entries' explicit
url field when present (absolute or root-relative) — that's how
mdedit's tree follows the depth-1 received/ + staged/ links into
the canonical archive/staging subtrees.
Dispatcher routing in zddc-server/main.go:
- GET <project>/reviewing/[<tracking>/] with Accept: json
→ ServeReviewing
- GET <project>/reviewing/[<tracking>/] with Accept: html
→ mdedit (rooted at the virtual path; polyfill fetches the
JSON listing on its own)
- GET <project>/reviewing (no slash) → mdedit (via DefaultAppAt)
- GET <project>/reviewing/<tracking> (no slash) → 301 to slash form
Tests:
- handler/reviewinghandler_test.go (6 cases): IsReviewingPath
classification + ServeReviewing depth-0/depth-1 with and without
staged drafts + 404 on unknown tracking + empty when archive/ is
absent.
- apps/availability_test.go updated: reviewing/ now expects mdedit
rather than "" (no default).
- cmd/zddc-server/main_test.go: TestDispatchEmptyCanonicalProjectFolders
extended to assert reviewing → mdedit at the no-slash form;
older "no-slash/reviewing → 301" test removed.
Future work (not in this commit): write translation. Editing a file
under reviewing/<tracking>/staged/<f>.md works today because the
polyfill rewrites to /<project>/staging/<response>/<f>.md before
fetching — the user's URL bar moves to the canonical path on click.
A virtual-filesystem mode where the URL bar stays under reviewing/
throughout would require server-side write rewriting (translate
PUT/DELETE on reviewing/.../staged/... into the canonical staging/
path). Not needed for the MVP — links in mdedit's tree work.

Adds a thin nav strip directly under the app-header showing the four
canonical lifecycle stages from the transmittal-workflow spec:
archive · working · staging · reviewing. Each is a link to that
stage's directory under the current project. Current stage is
highlighted (bold + primary color, aria-current="page"). Strip
mounts as a sibling of .app-header on DOMContentLoaded — no
template changes needed in any tool.
Render rules (shared/nav.js shouldRender):
- location.protocol must be http: or https: (file:// has no project
structure to navigate within)
- a project segment must be detectable as the first path segment
(when it isn't a tool HTML file like /index.html or
/archive.html?projects=A,B). Multi-project view at the deployment
root therefore shows no strip.
Stage URL targets:
- Archive → <project>/archive.html (project-root archive view)
- Working → <project>/working/ (directory listing — mdedit auto-served)
- Staging → <project>/staging/ (directory listing — transmittal auto-served)
- Reviewing → <project>/reviewing/ (directory listing)
Convention-driven, not probed: if a deployment doesn't have one of
these folders the link returns 404. Operators on non-standard layouts
can opt out by setting window.zddc.nav.disabled = true before
DOMContentLoaded.
This pairs with the previous landing-tool change (single-project
click → <project>/archive.html). Together they give the user
both URL-bar manipulation AND visible navigation across the four
canonical project stages.
Five Playwright tests in tests/nav.spec.js exercise:
- non-render at deployment root
- render + active stage on <project>/archive.html
- render + active stage deep inside <project>/working/foo/mdedit.html
- canonical link targets
- mount position is sibling of .app-header

Promote classifier's local toast (classifier/css/base.css + showToast
in classifier/js/excel.js) into shared/toast.{js,css}. Every tool's
build.sh now concatenates them, so window.zddc.toast(msg, level, opts)
is callable from any tool.
API:
window.zddc.toast('Saved.', 'success');
window.zddc.toast('Could not load: ' + err.message, 'error');
window.zddc.toast('Note', 'info', { durationMs: 3000 });
Levels: info (default) | success | warning | error. Single-toast
policy — a second call replaces the first. Click anywhere on the
toast to dismiss. ARIA: error → role=alert/aria-live=assertive,
others → role=status/aria-live=polite.
Class prefix is .zddc-toast (BEM-ish) to avoid colliding with any
tool-local .toast rules. Classifier's existing showToast now
delegates to window.zddc.toast — call sites in excel.js +
selection.js are unchanged. Classifier's local .toast CSS block
deleted in favor of the shared one.
This commit only EXPOSES the API. Replacing the ~25 alert() call
sites scattered across archive/transmittal/mdedit/classifier with
toast calls is left as follow-up — each alert needs per-call review
to decide if it's truly non-blocking.
Five Playwright tests in tests/toast.spec.js lock the contract:
API exposure, level mapping, ARIA roles, single-toast replace,
click-to-dismiss.

Six inline style="" attributes in archive, browse, mdedit templates
moved into stylesheets:
- The font-size:1.1rem override on #refreshHeaderBtn (three tools) is
now a single rule in shared/base.css — the refresh ⟳ glyph genuinely
reads smaller than ◐ / ?, so the rule lives next to the existing
shared icon-button block.
- The flex-start justify-content + select-all margin on archive's
Revisions column header become a .th-content--start variant +
.select-all-checkbox class in archive/css/table.css.
- The 450px initial width + 200px min-width on mdedit's #file-nav move
into mdedit/css/base.css; the runtime resizer continues to override
via inline style.width when the user drags.
No visual change — the output is exactly equivalent.

shared/build-lib.sh is sourced from each tool's build.sh with
root_dir pointing at the tool directory, so paths to other shared/
artifacts have to be \$root_dir/../shared/<file>. The slug helper
incorrectly used \$root_dir/shared/build-words.txt, which only
resolves correctly when the helper is invoked from the repo root
(e.g. via the smoke test `root_dir=\$PWD sh -c …`). In a real
./build run, the helper found the wordlist missing and silently
fell back to the short-SHA — the previous beta cut shipped
"v0.0.17-beta · 2026-05-07 · 1dafc97" instead of the intended
slug.
Fix: align the path with the existing shared/favicon.svg pattern.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Beta on-page labels now read
"v<X.Y.Z>-beta · <date> · word-word-word" instead of the previous
"… · g<short-sha>" form. Words are easier to recognise at a glance
than a 7-char SHA — testers can confirm "I'm running the
ranch-chamber-cake build" without consulting git log.
The slug is computed deterministically from the source commit's
full SHA (three 4-hex chunks modulo the wordlist length, looking
up shared/build-words.txt). Same source state → same slug, so the
existing chore-commit recursion fix carries over: a re-cut on
unchanged source produces an identical label and no spurious
embedded commit.
Wordlist (shared/build-words.txt): 283 short, neutral, English nouns
— flora, fauna, materials, landscape features. 283 ^ 3 ≈ 22M
combinations, more than enough that two simultaneous beta cuts on
different branches don't collide in practice.
Full provenance is still available — the binary's `--version` output
prints `git describe` (tag-distance-gSHA), and the chart appVersion
carries the full SHA written by notify-chart-bump.sh on push.

Beta cuts now stamp the on-page label as
"v<X.Y.Z>-beta · <date> · g<short-sha>" so a tester can confirm at a
glance which source commit they're running against. Previously the
SHA was deliberately omitted to avoid an embedded-commit recursion:
a build that auto-commits the regenerated embedded artifacts
(build:971-995) advances HEAD by one, and a SHA derived from HEAD
would shift on every cut, causing the next cut to commit again
ad infinitum.
Fix: embed the *source* SHA, not HEAD. The new
_source_commit_short_sha helper walks backwards from HEAD past any
"chore(embedded): cut" or "release: vX.Y.Z lockstep" auto-commits
and returns the short SHA of the underlying source state. That SHA
is invariant across the auto-commit step, so a re-run on the same
source state produces the same label and no spurious commit.
Plain dev builds and stable cuts are unchanged. Plain builds already
included the SHA via _sha + -dirty marker; stable cuts intentionally
carry only the bare semver in the label.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Closes the long-standing chart-bump race that required a manual rebase
on every beta cut. Three coordinated changes:
build (top-level): broaden the existing stable-only "fold embedded
artifacts into a release commit" block to also fire on beta cuts.
Same idempotency check; new commit message ("chore(embedded): cut
v<X.Y.Z>-beta") derived via _coordinated_next_stable. Tagging stays
stable-only (channels are mutable mirrors and never get tags). Beta
cuts now produce exactly one commit on main; HEAD always carries
the bytes the binary will serve.
shared/build-lib.sh: drop the SHA from alpha/beta channel labels.
Embedding HEAD's SHA in the bytes the SHA identifies created a
feedback loop — each auto-commit advanced HEAD, which shifted the
SHA in the next run's versions.txt, which triggered another
embedded commit, ad infinitum. Channel labels now read
"v<X.Y.Z>-<channel> · <date>" — version + date is enough; SHA
traceability lives in the chart's appVersion (full SHA) and the
binary's --version output. Plain dev builds keep the timestamp +
-dirty fingerprint since they don't commit. Stable cuts already
use a clean version-only label.
.forgejo/scripts/notify-chart-bump.sh: pin the chart's appVersion
to `git rev-parse HEAD` instead of the SHA in versions.txt. The
build's auto-commit now ensures HEAD == "the commit containing the
embedded bytes the binary will bake," so HEAD is the substantively
correct anchor. The previous versions.txt read pinned one commit
too early (the source-side commit, before the embed refresh
committed) — every beta cut required a manual chart-rebase to
point at the embed commit. With both halves landed, the cycle is
zero-touch: ./build beta + git push → auto-bump CI fires → chart
appVersion at correct SHA → dev image bakes the right bytes.
Verification: ran ./build beta twice on the same source state. First
run produced one commit; second run printed "no embedded changes to
commit (re-run on same source state)" and made no commit. The label
SHA-loop bug is fixed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Tables is the eighth HTML tool: a read-only tabular view over a
directory of YAML files declared via `tables:` in `.zddc`. Anchor use
case is the Master Deliverables List, where each row is one
`<tracking>.yaml` under `Archive/<Party>/MDL/`. Rows click through to
the existing form renderer for editing.
Schema (zddc/internal/zddc/file.go)
- New `Tables map[string]string` on ZddcFile. Map key becomes the URL
stem (`tables[MDL]` → `<dir>/MDL.table.html`); the value is a path
relative to the .zddc pointing at a `*.table.yaml` spec describing
columns + the rows directory. No upward cascade in v1 — each
directory hosting a table declares it directly.
Server handler (zddc/internal/handler/tablehandler.go)
- `RecognizeTableRequest` matches GET `/<dir>/<name>.table.html`
against the cascade's `tables:` declarations. Dispatch routes
table requests before the form-system intercept.
- `ServeTable` ACL-gates with `policy.ActionRead` and serves the
embedded `tables.html` template; client walks the directory itself
via the listing JSON or FS Access API.
- tables.html embedded via //go:embed — same pattern as form.html.
Frontend (tables/)
- Vanilla JS: app/context/util/filters/sort/render/main modules.
- Reads spec + row YAML files via window.zddc.source (HTTP polyfill
or local FS handle); js-yaml 4.1.0 vendored in shared/vendor for
client-side parsing.
- Sample fixtures under tables/sample/ for local testing.
Build + CI
- Lockstep build registers tables alongside the other 7 tools (HTML
output, embed mirror, versions.txt, release-output, tags).
- Playwright project added; `npx playwright test --project=tables`
is part of `npm test`.
Drive-by: rename mdedit Playwright selectors `#select-directory` →
`#addDirectoryBtn` to fix three pre-existing failing tests.
Drive-by: ignore locally-built `zddc/zddc-server` binary so it doesn't
get accidentally staged.

Replaces the binary acl.allow/deny model with five permission verbs
(r/w/c/d/a) and first-class roles, and adds an authenticated file API
(PUT/DELETE/POST move/mkdir) so the HTML tools can edit-in-place over
HTTP. Closes the AC-3(7) and AC-6 federal-readiness gaps.
File API (zddc/internal/handler/fileapi.go)
- PUT <new> → action c
- PUT <existing> → action w
- PUT <.zddc> → action a (CanEditZddc strict-ancestor rule)
- DELETE → action d
- POST mkdir → action c (auto-writes creator-owned .zddc when the
parent is Incoming/Working/Staging)
- POST move → action w on src + c on dst, atomic via os.Rename
- Optional If-Match for optimistic concurrency, --max-write-bytes cap,
audit log emits a structured file_write event per operation.
Permission model (zddc/internal/zddc/{acl,file,roles,cascade_mode}.go)
- acl.permissions: { principal → verb-set } map; principals are email
patterns or role names. Empty verb set is an explicit deny.
- roles: { name → members } definitions, available at the level they
declare and all descendants. Closer-to-leaf shadows ancestor.
- Legacy acl.allow/deny still work; they fold into permissions at
parse time (allow → "rwcd", deny → "").
- Cascade walks leaf→root; first level with any matching entry wins;
the union of matching verb sets at that level decides.
- --cascade-mode=strict adds a root→leaf ancestor-deny pre-pass so an
ancestor explicit-deny is absolute (NIST AC-6). Default delegated
preserves the existing commercial behavior.
Special folders (zddc/internal/zddc/special.go)
- Incoming / Working / Staging: mkdir auto-writes a .zddc into the new
subdir granting created_by + that email rwcda directly. Same form
operators write by hand; creator can edit it later to add others.
- Issued / Received: server-enforced WORM split. Cascade grants
inherited from above the WORM folder are masked to r only; grants
placed at-or-below the WORM folder retain r,c. Operators grant
write-once (cr) to the doc controller via an explicit .zddc at the
Issued/Received folder. Admins exempt — only escape hatch.
Browser polyfill (shared/zddc-source.js)
- HttpDirectoryHandle + HttpFileHandle implement the FS Access API
surface (values, getFileHandle, createWritable, removeEntry,
queryPermission/requestPermission) over zddc-server's listing JSON
and file API. Existing tools written against showDirectoryPicker
work unchanged.
- detectServerRoot() returns { handle, status }: tools auto-load on
HTTP, surface a clear "no permission to list" message on 403, and
fall back to the welcome screen on 0.
- classifier renames take the atomic POST move path on HTTP-backed
handles; mdedit and transmittal route reads/writes through the
polyfill so prior FS-API code paths cover both modes.
Tests
- zddc/internal/zddc/{cascade_mode,roles,special,acl}_test.go cover
delegated vs strict, role membership / shadowing / legacy fallback,
WORM split semantics, verb-set parser round-trip.
- zddc/internal/handler/fileapi_test.go now also covers role-based
vendor scenarios, WORM blocking vendor & doc controller writes,
explicit Issued .zddc unlocking the cr drop-box, admin bypass,
auto-ownership on mkdir, and strict-mode lockouts.
Docs
- ARCHITECTURE.md + zddc/README.md document the verb model, role
syntax, special-folder behaviors, cascade-mode flag, and full file
API surface. Federal-readiness gap analysis strikes AC-3(7) and
AC-6.

Same pattern as the browse fix. archive, transmittal, classifier
previously CDN-loaded jszip + docx-preview on first preview of a
.zip / .docx file via shared/preview-lib.js's loadLibrary helper.
That meant each first-preview blocked on a CDN round-trip + parse,
and broke entirely under restrictive networks or CSPs.
Vendor both libs under shared/vendor/ and concat them at the top of
each tool's build, ahead of init.js. window.JSZip + window.docx are
now defined immediately on page load. Drop the redundant loadLibrary
calls (and classifier's stray <script src="cdn..."> tag in the
template, plus archive's bespoke loadJSZip helper in export.js).
xlsx (SheetJS) intentionally stays CDN-loaded — at ~900 KB it's too
large to inline, and only fires on .xlsx preview which is a rarer
path.
Bundle size impact (uncompressed):
archive: 304 KB → 476 KB (+172 KB)
transmittal: 449 KB → 621 KB (+172 KB)
classifier: 252 KB → 424 KB (+172 KB)
With the gzip middleware (~75% reduction on HTML) and ETag-cached
revalidation now in place, the wire-size delta is ~40 KB per tool
on the first load and 0 on every subsequent load until redeploy.
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.
- Vendor JSZip locally (shared/vendor/jszip.min.js) and bundle into
the browse build instead of CDN-loading. Eliminates the failure
mode where ZIP rows can't expand because the CDN script doesn't
load (CSP, network, etc.). Tool now works fully offline.
- Replace the toolbar filter input + ext multi-select with two
spreadsheet-style auto-filter rows in <thead>:
- 📄 row: file-name filter + extension filter
- 📁 row: folder-name filter
Each input uses shared/zddc-filter syntax (substring/!negate/
^startsWith/$endsWith/regex/| or/space and).
- New visibility model with ancestor-of-match awareness:
- file matches keep their ancestor folders visible (path-to-hit)
- folder match keeps its descendants visible
- filters compose (file ∧ folder ∧ ext) so combinations narrow
Computed model-side; render walks only visible nodes.
- Replace 🏠 emoji breadcrumb-root with an inline outline-stroke SVG
that tints with currentColor.
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).
The skip-if-no-source-changes-since-latest-tag check in
promote_release was a relic of per-tool independent versioning.
In the lockstep era it actively breaks CI re-cuts at a tag commit:
- HEAD is at the v0.0.10 release commit
- latest archive-v* tag is archive-v0.0.10 (== HEAD)
- git diff archive-v0.0.10 HEAD = empty
- SKIP archive promote → no archive_v0.0.10.html written
- dist/release-output/ stays at whatever was seeded from
/srv/zddc/releases/ (i.e. v0.0.9 from the previous deploy)
- ./deploy --releases rsyncs that → live site STAYS at v0.0.9
Symptom: tag-triggered Forgejo deploy-release.yml workflow runs
(run 16) reports success but /srv/zddc/releases/archive_stable.html
still points at archive_v0.0.9.html.
Fix: always run _promote_stable for every tool on a stable cut.
The bytes written are deterministic at the same source, so
overwriting an existing per-version file is a no-op on disk —
the actual work the cut performs is advancing the symlink chain
(_v<X.Y>, _v<X>, _stable, _beta, _alpha) to the new version.
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.

- 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.

Moves website source + release artifacts off `main` and into a new
orphan branch named `website` in this same Codeberg repo. A `git worktree`
of that branch — typically at ~/src/zddc-website/ — is what the system
Caddy now bind-mounts and serves at zddc.varasys.io. Decoupling source
from the live site means editing source can no longer accidentally
affect what's published.
Layout going forward:
- ~/src/zddc/ — main worktree (this branch, source only).
- ~/src/zddc-website/ — git worktree of the `website` branch:
hand-edited content + LFS-tracked release
artifacts (server binaries) + regular-git
HTML tool releases + symlinks.
- Caddy bind-mount swapped: ~/src/zddc/website → ~/src/zddc-website
(quadlet at /etc/containers/systemd/caddy.container, restarted).
Build pipeline now writes releases to
${ZDDC_DEPLOY_RELEASES_DIR:-$HOME/src/zddc-website/releases}.
- build.sh: RELEASES_DIR points at the env var
- shared/build-lib.sh: promote_release honors the env var, falls
back to the legacy in-repo path so any
standalone single-tool release on a checkout
that still has website/ keeps working
- freshen-channel: passes ZDDC_DEPLOY_RELEASES_DIR through to
the worktree-based build
Docs (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, .gitignore) updated for
the new layout. The 51 MB of website/ blobs stays in main's history
(no force-push); over time Codeberg's GC will pack them down.

Four entangled change-sets from one session, committed together because
their file-level overlap (build.sh, docs, embedded/, watcher.go, …) makes
post-hoc separation noisy:
* fix(archive): nested-party + folder-type cascade
transmittalIsUnderVisibleParty short-circuited on the first matched
party segment, only checking the immediately-next segment for a
folder-type marker. Paths like BM/sub/Issued/<txn> bypassed the Issued
toggle entirely. Replaced with isUnderHiddenFolderType (full-path) +
any-segment party match. Eight new Playwright cases pin the contract
in tests/archive-cascade.spec.js.
* refactor(zddc-server): scope .archive index by project
archive.Index now buckets by top-level segment
(.ByProject[<project>].ByTracking[<tracking>]). Resolve and AllEntries
take a project parameter; handler extracts it from contextPath's first
segment. /.archive/ at root returns 404 — stable refs must be
project-rooted. Within-project (tracking, rev) collisions emit a WARN
with both paths. Cross-project tracking-number duplicates no longer
collide.
* perf(zddc-server): lazy-load expensive bits of the profile page
serveProfilePage now ships a minimal shell: Email, EmailHeader,
IsSuperAdmin (root .zddc only). Visible projects + admin subtrees +
editable scaffolds populate client-side via /.profile/access. Subtree-
admin scaffolds live in <template id="tmpl-subtree-admin">; pure
non-admins receive no live admin form. ScanZddcFiles now memoized,
invalidated on .zddc events by the watcher and writer helpers.
* feat: lockstep release + redesigned releases page
sh build.sh --release [version|alpha|beta] is the canonical lockstep
cut: every tool (5 HTML + zddc-server) bumps to the same coordinated
version. zddc-server binaries now committed under website/releases/
with the same cascade chain as HTML tools (no more Codeberg release-
asset publication). zddc/release.sh deprecated (kept as a guard);
shared/publish-codeberg-release.sh removed.
Releases page redesigned as an action-first install guide: hero +
version dropdown that rewires every download link, channel chips for
always-visible alpha/beta access (state-aware labels: "tracks stable"
vs "active dev"), Path A (zddc-server with platform auto-detect from
UA), Path B (5 standalone tool HTMLs), version-pinning empowerment
narrative (drop-a-copy vs .zddc apps: cascade), channels explainer.
Channel-link verifier asserts every <tool>_{stable,beta,alpha}.html
resolves at the end of every build. Bootstrap-friendly: zddc-server
artifact checks skip until the first lockstep cut anchors the chain.
Tests: 167 Playwright + all Go packages green.
Docs: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, zddc/README.md updated.

Adds command-line flags to zddc-server alongside the existing env vars.
Each setting can be set via --<flag-name> or ZDDC_<NAME>; the flag wins
on conflict, the env var wins over the hard-coded default.
--root / ZDDC_ROOT (now defaults to CWD if both unset)
--addr / ZDDC_ADDR (:8443)
--tls-cert / ZDDC_TLS_CERT ("none" / empty / path)
--tls-key / ZDDC_TLS_KEY
--log-level / ZDDC_LOG_LEVEL (info)
--index-path / ZDDC_INDEX_PATH (.archive)
--email-header / ZDDC_EMAIL_HEADER (X-Auth-Request-Email)
--cors-origin / ZDDC_CORS_ORIGIN (https://zddc.varasys.io; "" disables)
--insecure-direct / ZDDC_INSECURE_DIRECT (false)
--help (prints flag list to stderr, exits 0)
--version (prints binary + embedded tool versions, exits 0)
So an operator can `cd /srv/zddc && zddc-server` with zero config — the
served root defaults to the current directory, and TLS defaults to a
self-signed cert. config.Load now takes []string (test-friendly: nil
skips flag parsing entirely; tests pass an empty slice for env-only
loads).
Adds a `version` package-level var in main.go injected at link time via
`-ldflags="-X main.version=..."`. The build.sh runs git describe against
zddc-server-v* tags; for in-flight commits between releases it produces
e.g. zddc-server-v0.0.7-19-gadb6904-dirty.
Adds an embedded versions manifest:
- Each tool's compute_build_label (in shared/build-lib.sh) writes a
sidecar <tool>.label to $BUILD_LABELS_DIR if that env var is set.
- Top-level build.sh sets BUILD_LABELS_DIR before running each tool's
build, then assembles zddc/internal/apps/embedded/versions.txt as
one `<app>=<build label>` line per app.
- apps.EmbeddedVersions() loads the manifest at runtime.
- main.go logs a compact summary on every startup; --version dumps
the full per-app label.
Removes the old cfg.BuildVersion field — the X-ZDDC-Source: embedded
header now uses the package-level main.version directly.

Adds shared/preview-lib.js with two cross-tool renderers:
- renderTiff (UTIF.js, lazy-loaded from CDN; PDF-style toolbar with
page nav, zoom, fit-width/fit-page; multi-page TIFFs decode lazily)
- renderZipListing (JSZip; sortable name/size/modified table, sticky
header, host-grouped paths)
Wired into the four tools that have a preview surface (archive, classifier,
mdedit, transmittal). Cross-document compatible so the same renderer works
for popup-window tools (archive/classifier/transmittal) and inline tools
(mdedit). Archive previously had no image branch at all — now previews
JPG/PNG/GIF/WebP/BMP/SVG natively, plus TIFF via UTIF, plus the ZIP listing.
Adds the dark-blue rounded-square favicon to each app's header (left of
the title) and to the website navigation. Single inline SVG, sized via
.app-header__logo (in shared/base.css) for tools and .brand-logo (in
website/css/style.css) for the website. Self-contained — the SVG carries
its own background, no wrapper styling needed.

Rolls back the HTML-tool side of the Codeberg-as-canonical refactor
(commits 2dc9ad2, b28c4ae, bdac8dc) in favor of a simpler model:
per-version HTML files committed under website/releases/ as immutable
real files; partial-version pins (<tool>_v<X.Y>.html, <tool>_v<X>.html)
and channel mirrors (<tool>_<channel>.html) are checked-in symlinks.
Docker-tag pattern: :1.2.3 is pinned, :1.2 floats, :1 floats further,
:stable floats furthest.
URL scheme — every URL resolves to actual HTML via the symlink chain;
no JS indirection, no manifest.json, no Caddy regex-rewrite:
/releases/<tool>_v<X.Y.Z>.html exact version (real file)
/releases/<tool>_v<X.Y>.html latest patch within X.Y.* (symlink)
/releases/<tool>_v<X>.html latest within X.*.* (symlink)
/releases/<tool>_stable.html current stable (symlink)
/releases/<tool>_beta.html current beta (symlink to stable when no
active beta; real file when beta is in flight)
/releases/<tool>_alpha.html current alpha (similar — symlink to beta
or stable when no active alpha)
Cascade rule (in shared/build-lib.sh promote_release):
--release [version] (stable cut) → write per-version file; refresh 5
symlinks (_v<X.Y>, _v<X>, _stable,
_beta, _alpha) → new versioned file;
tag <tool>-v<X.Y.Z>.
--release beta → overwrite <tool>_beta.html with real
bytes; cascade _alpha.html → _beta.html
(symlink). No tag — channel URLs are
stable URLs by design; counters defeat
that.
--release alpha → overwrite <tool>_alpha.html with real
bytes. No tag, no other side-effects.
Plain `sh tool/build.sh` → dist/ only. No website/releases/
side-effect, no commit.
Code changes:
- .gitignore — drop website/releases/*.html and website/releases/zddc-server-*
exclusions; HTML tool files are tracked again. Replace the comment with
the new model description.
- shared/build-lib.sh — drop next_prerelease (no -alpha.N / -beta.N counter
tags). Drop the Codeberg-upload path for HTML tools (no longer sourcing
publish-codeberg-release.sh from build-lib). promote_release rewritten
with two helpers: _promote_stable (per-version file + 5 symlinks + tag)
and _promote_channel (overwrite mirror + cascade alpha→beta on beta cut).
- zddc/release.sh — drop alpha/beta channel path entirely; binaries publish
only on stable cuts. zddc-server's beta/alpha builds-from-source via the
helm charts (next phase) — no binary distribution needed for those channels.
- bootstrap/level2.html.tmpl — drop manifest.json fetch; resolve ?v= to a
static URL via the symlink chain. New suffixFor() handles channel names,
exact versions, and partial-version pins (?v=0.0, ?v=0). Same logic in
level1.html.tmpl already works because the local-staging files (e.g.
../<tool>_v0.0.html) exist via the same symlink scheme.
- build.sh build_releases_index — revert to filesystem scan of
website/releases/ instead of Codeberg API call. Drop manifest.json
generation. Per-tool sections list channel chips + per-version pin links;
zddc-server section links to Codeberg release pages directly.
- tests/build-label.spec.js — fix the channel-label regex to match the
pre-release-semver format introduced in commit 9459139 ("v0.0.3-alpha · ...").
Pre-existing test failure that wasn't caught at the time.
Storage:
- 30 new committed files under website/releases/ — 10 real (per-version) +
20 symlinks (5 tools × 4 partial/channel variants, plus alpha as a real
file by default).
- Initial state: stable v0.0.2 across all 5 tools; alpha/beta/v0.0/v0
symlinks all point at <tool>_v0.0.2.html.
- manifest.json deleted (no longer needed).

The 2dc9ad2 commit ("refactor: distribute via Codeberg release assets,
drop the upstream image") rewrote AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md but left
several pre-existing references to the old write-to-website/releases
flow and the now-removed Containerfile / podman-compose / release-image.sh.
This sweeps the rest:
- CLAUDE.md
- drop "podman/podman-compose" from the zddc/ blurb (no Containerfile)
- drop the broken `podman build -t zddc-server zddc/` command
- rewrite the "Most-used commands" table so --release semantics match
actual behavior (tag + Codeberg upload, not file write)
- rewrite "Things that bite": replace "never write to website/releases/"
and the obsolete "alpha exception" bullet with the new rules
($CODEBERG_TOKEN required, dist files no longer force-tracked, etc.)
- rewrite the website/ description in "Repo shape" to reflect that
only index.html + manifest.json live there now
- ARCHITECTURE.md
- rewrite the website/ directory tree (no more <tool>_v*.html, _stable
symlinks, or _alpha/_beta files)
- rewrite "Channels" section: every cut now tags + uploads to Codeberg,
alpha/beta have .N counters and matching tags, no more in-place
overwrites
- rewrite the build-label table: dev builds carry the next-stable
target as a -alpha pre-release suffix with full timestamp + dirty
marker (was: "Built: <ts> BETA")
- update level-2 bootstrap description: resolves channel via
manifest.json, fetches /releases/<tag>/<asset>, not a flat URL
- update landing-tool description: ships only as Codeberg release
asset, not a committed website/releases/landing_v<X>.html
- AGENTS.md
- update website/ tree to the post-refactor layout
- replace the two-step podman build / podman-compose run blocks under
zddc-server with a Go build + go run quickstart (no container in
this repo)
- drop the "Containerfile uses a multi-stage build" note from the
"Notes" list (Containerfile is gone)
- drop the stale "landing/build.sh writes website/index.html" note —
website/index.html is now hand-edited, not produced by landing's
build
- README.md (top-level)
- tools table no longer links to /releases/<tool>_stable.html
(those URLs return 404 post-refactor); link to the releases page
once instead
- bootstrap/README.md
- update the "permanent pin" URL examples and CORS verification
snippet to use /releases/<tag>/<asset> URLs (Caddy → Codeberg)
instead of the old flat /releases/<tool>_<channel>.html pattern
- explain that channel resolution is via manifest.json now
- zddc/README.md
- rewrite Quick Start: download a release binary or build from source,
no `podman build`
- rewrite TLS examples to invoke ./zddc-server directly instead of
`podman run ... zddc-server` (image name no longer exists)
- mention ZDDC_INSECURE_DIRECT in the env-var table and the plain-HTTP
example — startup is refused without it on non-loopback binds
- replace the "Container image" section with "Distribution" (binaries
on Codeberg, no image) and the "Building" section with go build
instructions
- replace "Release Tagging" with documentation of zddc/release.sh
(the canonical replacement for release-image.sh, which is gone)
- shared/build-lib.sh
- fix the comment claiming "plain builds mirror to website/releases/"
— they don't anymore

Removes the codeberg.org/varasys/zddc-server registry image, which had
no remaining consumer outside this shop. The two chart Dockerfiles
(tnd-zddc-chart) now compile zddc-server from source at build time,
fetching the right tag from a Codeberg release. release-image.sh,
zddc/Containerfile, and zddc/podman-compose.yaml are gone.
Build artifacts (HTML tools + zddc-server binaries) move from
website/releases/ in this repo to Codeberg release assets attached to
git tags. The website at zddc.varasys.io serves them by reverse-
proxying /releases/<tag>/<asset> to the corresponding Codeberg URL,
so consumers (zddc-use, level-2 bootstrap stubs, the chart
Dockerfiles) only ever talk to zddc.varasys.io.
Releases page becomes server-rendered static HTML regenerated on each
build via a single Codeberg API call. A small website/releases/manifest.json
maps <tool>-<channel> → tag for runtime channel resolution by zddc-use
and the level-2 stubs.
Files added:
- shared/publish-codeberg-release.sh — POSIX-sh helper that creates a
Codeberg release for a tag (sets prerelease flag from tag suffix)
and uploads/replaces release assets idempotently. Sourced by
build-lib.sh and zddc/release.sh.
- zddc/release.sh — replaces release-image.sh. Tags + cross-compiles
binaries via native Go (no podman needed; install Go) + uploads to
Codeberg release assets. No image build, no registry push.
Files modified:
- shared/build-lib.sh — promote_release tags + uploads via the helper
for stable AND alpha/beta now (alpha/beta were untagged before).
update_alpha removed; per-tool build.sh files no longer mirror to
website/releases/<tool>_alpha.html on plain dev builds.
- build.sh — prefers native go build over the old podman-based
cross-compile (which is gone with Containerfile). build_releases_index
queries the Codeberg API once and writes static HTML + manifest.json,
with graceful fallback when the API is unreachable.
- bootstrap/level2.html.tmpl — fetches manifest.json to resolve
channel → tag, then fetches the asset from /releases/<tag>/<asset>
(Caddy proxy). Replaces the old /releases/<tool>_<channel>.html flat
URL pattern. Operators with curl'd level-2 stubs need to re-issue
them — this is a breaking change.
- AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md — rewritten to describe the new flow.
- .gitignore — releases/ artifacts now expected to be on Codeberg, not
committed locally.
NOT in this commit (deferred until $CODEBERG_TOKEN is provisioned):
- Backfilling existing tags as Codeberg releases.
- Cleanup commit: git rm-ing the existing artifacts in website/releases/.
Until backfill happens, those files are how operators with old
bootstrap stubs still get content. Once Codeberg has the assets,
drop them.
- The Caddy reverse-proxy config on zddc.varasys.io.
Operator-side changes (not in this repo):
- tnd-zddc-chart Dockerfile.prod and Dockerfile (dev) need updating
to compile from source rather than `FROM codeberg.org/...:stable`.
Done in a separate commit on that repo.
- Caddyfile rule for the /releases/<tag>/<asset> reverse-proxy.

Replace the build-counter version scheme (every alpha push monotonically
bumps the patch number, producing immutable :0.0.X tags that look
indistinguishable from stable releases) with proper semver pre-release
suffixes. Stable owns clean vX.Y.Z; alpha and beta carry
vX.Y.Z-{alpha,beta}[.N] indicating the next-stable target.
The next-stable target is the patch-bump of the latest clean
<prefix>-vX.Y.Z tag. Counter N is per-channel (alpha and beta count
separately) and resets when a new stable advances next-patch. Used
only for zddc-server image tags, where every release is git-tagged;
HTML tools omit the counter since alpha/beta cuts there don't tag.
release-image.sh:
- New CLI: sh release-image.sh [alpha|beta|stable] [<version>].
- Default channel alpha. Version arg only valid (and only optional)
for stable.
- Auto-derives the version via next_prerelease for alpha/beta, and
patch-bump for unspecified stable.
- Now creates the git tag itself (the auto-derived version is no
longer something the operator can predict in advance), but does
not push — operator finishes with `git push --tags`.
shared/build-lib.sh:
- Add next_prerelease(channel, tag_prefix) helper.
- compute_build_label embeds v<next-stable>-{alpha,beta} in the
on-page label for plain and --release alpha|beta builds.
- Plain builds: v<next-stable>-alpha · <ts> · <sha>[-dirty]
--release alpha: v<next-stable>-alpha · <date> · <sha>
--release beta: v<next-stable>-beta · <date> · <sha>
--release [<version>]: v<X.Y.Z> (clean stable, unchanged shape).
Pre-release semver ordering (vX.Y.Z-alpha.1 < vX.Y.Z-alpha.2 <
vX.Y.Z-beta.1 < vX.Y.Z) is honored by registry tag sorting,
git tag --sort=-v:refname, sort -V, npm, cargo — so consumers can
pin or compare versions without surprises.
Existing zddc-server-v0.0.{3..7} git tags and registry tags are
audit history; not rewritten. Going forward, alpha/beta cuts produce
v0.0.8-{alpha,beta}.N format, and clean v0.0.8 is reserved for a
deliberate stable promotion.
freshen-channel needs no code change. It runs --release <channel>
inside a worktree at the latest stable tag, where the build-lib.sh
at that tag is still the old version producing old-format labels;
the first stable cut after this commit will propagate the new format
to subsequent freshens (per the existing "build pipeline at the tag"
reproducibility policy).
AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md updated.
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

The earlier symlink approach (commit 03f83ad) broke under the canonical
deployment shape. The Caddy systemd unit at
/etc/containers/systemd/caddy.container mounts only
/home/user/src/zddc/website:/usr/share/caddy/zddc:ro
into the Caddy container, so a symlink at
website/releases/landing_alpha.html → ../../landing/dist/index.html
resolves to /usr/share/caddy/landing/dist/index.html inside the
container — a path that simply doesn't exist there. Result:
GET https://zddc.varasys.io/releases/landing_alpha.html → 404, and
the dev cluster's level-2 stub failed to load.
Revert update_alpha() to a plain copy. Trade-off goes back to: every
dev build dirties the corresponding _alpha.html in git. Commit
alongside source changes (alpha is mutable channel anyway) or
git checkout to discard. cp follows symlinks at the destination, so
the helper now `rm -f`s the dest before copying — handles the
symlink-to-file transition cleanly.
Updates AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md to describe the copy semantics and
the volume-mount constraint that motivates them. Five _alpha.html
files convert from symlinks back to regular files (typechange).
End-to-end verified: curl https://zddc.varasys.io/releases/landing_alpha.html
returns 200 (30177 bytes) after the rebuild.

Every plain `sh tool/build.sh` invocation now reasserts a relative symlink
website/releases/<tool>_alpha.html → ../../<tool>/dist/<tool>.html so the
alpha hyperlinks always serve whatever dist currently holds. Idempotent — git
sees no churn on rebuild. `--release alpha` still wins by overwriting the
symlink with a real "alpha · <date> · <sha>" file; the next plain build
re-symlinks it.
Five existing alpha files become typechanges (regular file → symlink) — the
one-time migration cost. The reassertion survives deployment because the
website is served directly from the working tree.

The 'latest' label for the current-stable channel was inconsistent
with the channel set we use elsewhere (alpha / beta / stable). Rename
to 'stable' so URLs, file names, zip names, and image tags all line
up with the channel terminology used in the bootstrap, AGENTS.md
discipline rules, and chart consumers.
File / artifact renames
- website/releases/<tool>_latest.html → <tool>_stable.html (5 files)
- website/track-latest.zip → track-stable.zip
- shared/build-lib.sh: promote_release writes/refreshes _stable.html
- bootstrap/level{1,2}.html.tmpl: channels map drops 'latest', keeps
'stable' as the canonical name. ?v=stable is now the explicit way
to switch to current-stable for one request (alongside ?v=alpha,
?v=beta, and ?v=X.Y.Z).
- build.sh: install.zip sources from <tool>_stable.html; emits
track-stable.zip instead of track-latest.zip.
Container image (.woodpecker.yml rewritten)
- Tag publishing now cascades:
zddc-server-vX.Y.Z → :X.Y.Z, :stable, :beta, :alpha, :latest
zddc-server-vX.Y.Z-beta.N → :X.Y.Z-beta.N, :beta, :alpha
zddc-server-vX.Y.Z-alpha.N → :X.Y.Z-alpha.N, :alpha
- :stable, :beta, :alpha are now first-class channel pointers; chart
consumers (e.g. tnd-zddc-chart) can FROM :beta for dev and FROM
:stable for prod.
- :latest kept as an alias for :stable per Docker convention.
Documentation sweep
- AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, CLAUDE.md, README.md
- bootstrap/README.md, zddc/README.md
- website/index.html, website/zddc-server.html
- transmittal/template.html, transmittal/README.md
all updated to reference _stable.html / track-stable.zip / the
'stable' channel name. ARCHITECTURE.md's manual freshen example
points at ./freshen-channel instead of the old git-checkout snippet.

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
HTTP server.
