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.
Flip default_tool from `mdedit` to `browse` (which now ships a Toast UI
markdown editor plugin in its preview pane) at:
• paths."*".paths.working
• paths."*".paths.working.paths."*" (per-user homes)
• paths."*".paths.reviewing
available_tools at those levels drops `mdedit` and adds `browse` next
to `classifier`. Operator overrides per .zddc cascade still work; only
the embedded baseline changes.
Test fixtures updated:
• lookups_test.go — DefaultToolAt assertions for working/+reviewing/
• availability_test.go — AppAvailableAt + DefaultAppAt for working/+
reviewing/+per-user home
• main_test.go — dispatch route asserts "ZDDC Browse" (was "ZDDC
Markdown"); Apps cascade fixture swaps mdedit
for browse so the live route fetches the right
embedded HTML
Final consumer migration. The Go-coded lists that previously encoded
the ZDDC convention all defer to the .zddc cascade now.
Schema added:
available_tools: [tool1, tool2, ...] concat-union across cascade;
tools not in the union are
denied auto-route at that path
auto_own_fenced: true|false generated auto-own .zddc
carries inherit:false (private
to creator)
Lookups added:
AvailableToolsAt(root, dir) union of available_tools across cascade
IsToolAvailableAt(root, dir, tool)
AutoOwnFencedAt(root, dir) leaf-only
Cascade semantics finalised (per field):
default_tool → leaf→root walk (parent applies to descendants)
available_tools → leaf→root union (each level adds; baseline at root)
auto_own → leaf-only (creating THIS dir specifically)
auto_own_fenced → leaf-only (same)
virtual → leaf-only (THIS dir is virtual, not subtree)
Consumers migrated:
apps.DefaultAppAt → zddc.DefaultToolAt
apps.AppAvailableAt → zddc.IsToolAvailableAt (+ landing special)
EnsureCanonicalAncestors → AutoOwnAt + AutoOwnFencedAt
fs.ListDirectory empty-list fallback → zddc.IsDeclaredPath
fs.virtualCanonicalFolders → zddc.ChildrenDeclaredAt
dispatcher canonical-folder branches → unified into one
cascade-declared block
Hardcoded helpers REMOVED (dead code):
apps.inAncestorWithName
zddc.autoOwnDepthMatch / isAutoOwnDepthMatch
Hardcoded lists kept as data sources for the cascade walker but
no longer drive routing logic:
ProjectRootFolders / PartyFolders / AutoOwnCanonicalNames /
VirtualOnlyCanonicalNames / IsProjectRootFolder / IsArchivePartyFolder /
IsArchivePartyMdlDir — all still defined; only `ProjectRootFolders`
is used by special.go's IsProjectRootFolder. The rest are dead.
Dispatcher unified: the previously-two branches (per-party folder vs
project-root folder) collapse into one cascade-declared-path block
that handles the slash/no-slash convention uniformly:
- no-slash, default_tool=tables → ServeTable (default-MDL fallback)
- no-slash, default_tool set → apps.Serve(tool)
- no-slash, no default_tool → 302 to slash form
- slash, any → ServeDirectory empty-list fallback
The IsDir branch's switch also un-hardcoded — any cascade tool is
served (not just the legacy 3 names), so e.g. /Project/archive/<party>
/incoming (no slash) now serves classifier directly rather than 302'ing
to the slash form.
defaults.zddc.yaml populated with the canonical convention as the
recipe. Operators edit it (or override per-directory on disk) to
change any behaviour — no Go code changes required.
Browse drag-drop scope (working/staging/incoming) is the one remaining
client-side hardcoded regex; cascading that requires the cascade JSON
to be served to the client, which is its own Phase 4 piece.
Tests updated for the new no-slash mdl URL convention (landing MDL
card test) and no-slash stage URLs (nav strip test). All 248
Playwright + all Go tests green.

Two pieces:
1. Lookup helpers walk chain.Levels from leaf back to root. The
"parent applies to descendants unless overridden" cascade rule
means a working/ default_tool=mdedit propagates to deep paths
like working/alice@example.com/notes/sub/deep without anyone
declaring it at every level. AutoOwnAt and VirtualAt follow the
same walk; explicit false at a descendant can override an
ancestor's true (*bool semantics).
2. apps.DefaultAppAt delegates to zddc.DefaultToolAt. The hardcoded
switch on parts[1] (archive→archive, staging→transmittal,
working→mdedit, reviewing→mdedit, mdl→tables) and its case-
sensitivity quirks now live in defaults.zddc.yaml. Operators can
override any of these per-directory with an on-disk .zddc; no
code change required.
Semantic improvement: archive/<party>/incoming previously defaulted
to "archive" (because parts[1]=archive and the switch didn't look
deeper). The new convention routes it to "classifier" — incoming/ is
the bulk-rename surface, not a record browser. Updated
availability_test.go to reflect.
All other DefaultAppAt cases — including case-fold (Archive/MDL),
mdl override, reviewing virtual, project root returning "", random
non-canonical names returning "" — produce bit-identical output.
Two new tests in lookups_test.go cover the propagation:
- TestDefaultToolAt_PropagatesToDescendants
- TestAutoOwnAt_DescendantCanDisable

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.

Beta cut of the eight HTML tools into zddc/internal/apps/embedded/*
and the unified form/tables bundle into zddc/internal/handler/tables.html.
Each tool's on-page label changes from alpha → beta-stamped bytes;
no source changes beyond the build label itself.
The dev image (Dockerfile, devshell, ZDDC_REF=main) and the bitnest
test container both pick this up automatically — bitnest's path-unit
fired on the rebuild of zddc/dist/zddc-server-linux-amd64 and
restarted the container with the new embedded apps:
embedded_apps=archive=v0.0.17-beta browse=v0.0.17-beta
classifier=v0.0.17-beta form=v0.0.17-beta
landing=v0.0.17-beta mdedit=v0.0.17-beta
tables=v0.0.17-beta transmittal=v0.0.17-beta
Source-side commits since the previous beta:
feat(landing): single-project click → <project>/archive.html
feat(shared): non-blocking toast helper
feat(shared): lateral project-stage strip
feat(form): standalone empty-state welcome
fix(tables): keepalive on beforeunload save path
refactor(mdedit): drop window.* TOC globals
refactor(archive): remove dead debounce
style(transmittal): tokenize utility classes, drop !important block
style: replace inline styles with CSS
test(shared): zddc-source.js + toast + nav specs
test(browse): smoke spec
docs: tool counts + state pattern + polyfill gaps

Two intertwined refactors that share too many files to split cleanly.
Both are described separately below.
PART 1 — in-dir convention for table+form spec files
Old layout had the spec at the parent and rows in a child:
archive/<party>/
mdl.table.yaml spec
mdl.form.yaml row-edit form
mdl/ rows-dir
row-001.yaml ...
URLs were /<dir>/mdl.table.html and /<dir>/mdl.form.html. Copying
mdl/ elsewhere lost the spec and form because they lived next door.
New layout collapses everything into the rows-dir:
archive/<party>/mdl/ self-contained
table.yaml spec
form.yaml row-edit form
row-001.yaml ... rows
URLs become /<dir>/mdl/table.html and /<dir>/mdl/form.html. The
"copying-the-folder-takes-everything" property the user asked for
falls out by construction; the row-edit URL /<dir>/<id>.yaml.html
keeps the same shape (spec is now in the same dir, not the
grandparent).
Server changes:
- internal/handler/tablehandler.go RecognizeTableRequest fires on
/<dir>/table.html when <dir>/table.yaml exists. The .zddc.tables
alias map is gone — pure presence-based discovery now matches
the form system's existing convention. Default-MDL fallback at
archive/<party>/mdl/ stays for the virgin-archive case (the
rows-dir need not exist on disk; the URL renders fully virtually).
- internal/handler/formhandler.go RecognizeFormRequest fires on
/<dir>/form.html and /<dir>/<id>.yaml.html with spec at
<dir>/form.yaml. specEligible accepts on-disk files OR the
default-MDL virtual path so an empty mdl/ dir still surfaces the
add-row form.
- internal/handler/tablehandler.go IsDefaultMdlSpec moves to
serving archive/<party>/mdl/{table,form}.yaml (5 segments after
ZDDC_ROOT). New isAtArchivePartyMdlLevel predicate; new
isAtArchivePartyMdlDir for directory-based recognition. New
IsDefaultMdlSpecAbs accessor for callers that hold an abs path
rather than a URL (formhandler).
- internal/handler/formhandler.go loadFormSpec(fsRoot, path) falls
back to embedded default-MDL bytes when os.ReadFile returns
NotExist AND the path matches the archive-party-mdl shape. Three
call sites updated to pass cfg.Root.
- internal/handler/formhandler.go serveFormCreate writes
submissions to filepath.Dir(req.SpecPath) — the spec, the form,
and rows all live in one directory. The submissionsDir creation
is idempotent (MkdirAll); cascade falls back one level for ACL
evaluation when the dir hasn't been materialized yet.
- internal/handler/tablehandler.go tableRowsRedirect now points at
/<dir>/table.html (was /<dir>.table.html) when the directory
request maps to a recognized table.
- cmd/zddc-server/main.go dispatch synth flips from
urlPath + ".table.html" to urlPath + "/table.html" for the
no-trailing-slash → tables-app routing.
- internal/apps/availability.go DefaultAppAt comment clarified
that the dir at archive/<party>/mdl/ IS the table (not a child).
Client changes:
- tables/js/context.js walkServer fetches <currentdir>/table.yaml
directly — no .zddc walk for table declarations. Rows are every
*.yaml in current dir EXCLUDING table.yaml and form.yaml. The
.zddc fetch-for-aliases is gated on file:// (online mode 404s
on .zddc reads via the dispatcher's reserve guard, so skipping
the request avoids browser console noise).
- tables/js/main.js add-row button links to relative form.html
(same dir).
- tables/js/render.js + filters.js: every column's autofilter is
uniformly a text-contains input, even enum columns — keeps the
filter row visually consistent and doesn't constrain users to
the enum vocabulary.
PART 2 — unified table+form HTML bundle
The form-render and table-render code paths share field schemas,
the cell editor for excel-mode IS a form widget, and the form
system's POST-back / validation already exists. Combining the two
HTMLs eliminates duplicating jsyaml/jsonschema/theme/source-
detection/.zddc-parsing across two single-file tools.
- tables/template.html grows two top-level mode containers:
#table-mode (toolbar + sortable table) and #form-mode (form +
submit button). Both hidden at parse time; the dispatcher
unhides one. The shared #form-context placeholder was added
here so the server's existing injectFormContext target
resolves.
- tables/js/mode.js (new) sets window.zddcMode synchronously
based on URL pattern: /form.html or /<id>.yaml.html → form,
/table.html → table, else inline-context fallback for
file:// (whichever context blob is non-empty wins). Unhides
the matching container at DOMContentLoaded.
- tables/js/main.js init() and form/js/main.js boot() each guard
early when mode isn't theirs. Both apps live on different
globals (window.tablesApp vs window.formApp) so module
registration doesn't collide.
- form/js/main.js title write falls back from #form-title to
#table-title (the unified bundle's shared header element)
when the dedicated id isn't present.
- tables/build.sh concatenates form modules (widgets, render,
object, array, errors, post, serialize, util) and form CSS.
No new external deps. Bundle grows from ~95KB to ~120KB.
- internal/handler/formhandler.go drops the //go:embed form.html
directive; serveFormRender now writes embeddedTablesHTML via
a small formRenderHTML() accessor (var declared in
tablehandler.go, same package). The embedded form.html file
is removed.
- build script: cp form/dist/form.html → internal/handler/form.html
step is gone (file no longer exists in the source tree). cp
tables/dist/tables.html → internal/handler/tables.html now
runs unconditionally rather than only on beta/stable cuts —
the renderer is a fixed binary component and dev iteration
needs the embedded copy refreshed every build. Channel-cascaded
apps (internal/apps/embedded/) stay channel-gated as before.
- form/dist/form.html still builds for standalone offline-only
use (downloadable from /releases/), but no longer goes into
the binary.
Tests:
- internal/handler/tablehandler_test.go and formhandler_test.go
rewritten for the in-dir layout. New test
TestRecognizeFormRequest_DefaultMdlAtArchiveParty covers
empty-form, create POST, re-edit row, and the negative cases
(Working/, non-mdl name) where the fallback must NOT fire.
- internal/handler/directory_test.go updated for the new
/<dir>/table.html redirect target.
- cmd/zddc-server/main_test.go TestDispatchSlashRouting Location
expectation updated.
- tests/form-safety.spec.js loads tables/dist/tables.html
(named form.html in the temp dir to trigger form-mode in the
dispatcher) so it tests the same bytes the server returns.
Title-element selector switches to #table-title.
- tests/tables.spec.js updates the status-filter test for the
uniform text-input filter.
Docs:
- AGENTS.md form-data system rewrites the URL conventions and
storage layout for in-dir; gains a Tables system section
parallel to forms describing the self-contained-directory
property; subfolder rules ("one table per folder by
construction; subfolders allowed and silently ignored as rows
— legitimate uses: nested sub-tables, per-row attachments,
drafts, future history sidecars") so we don't re-derive this.
Not included (deferred):
- ACL gating on cell-level writes — not relevant until Phase 3.
- Editable cells UI — separate commit (Phase 1).

URL convention for directories under a project:
- <dir>/ (with trailing slash) → browse (the directory view; same
behaviour as today)
- <dir> (without trailing slash) → the canonical default tool for
that directory's context, served
inline (no 301 hop)
Tool mapping via the new apps.DefaultAppAt(root, dir):
- working/... → mdedit
- staging/... → transmittal
- archive/ → archive
- archive/<party>/ → archive
- archive/<party>/incoming|received|issued/... → archive
- archive/<party>/mdl/... → tables (the per-party MDL grid editor)
Directories outside the canonical layout (project root, scratch
folders) keep the legacy 301-to-trailing-slash redirect since no
default tool fits.
This generalises and replaces the bespoke
"GET archive/<party>/mdl/ → 302 mdl.table.html" redirect added in PR4.
The new dispatcher rule serves the table app inline at the bare-mdl
URL by routing through RecognizeTableRequest with the canonical
.table.html suffix appended; relative fetches resolve identically
because both URLs share the same parent directory.
Tests: TestDefaultAppAt covers all canonical positions plus
case-fold and out-of-tree edges. TestDispatchSlashRouting (replacing
the now-obsolete TestDispatchMdlRedirect) verifies the slash-vs-no-
slash distinction at every canonical folder + non-canonical
fallback.

BREAKING CHANGE. Project-level Issued/Received/Incoming folders no
longer carry special semantics. WORM enforcement and auto-ownership
move to the per-party canonical layout:
- WORM mask now triggers on archive/<party>/received/ and
archive/<party>/issued/ (any case, any party)
- Auto-own .zddc writes on first mkdir under working/, staging/,
or archive/<party>/incoming/ (any case)
Predicate API:
- IsAutoOwnPath(parentDir, fsRoot) — replaces IsAutoOwnParent(name)
- IsWormPath(requestPath) — same name, new pattern
- WormFolderLevelIndex unchanged signature, new pattern
Legacy SpecialFolderNames / AutoOwnFolderNames / WormFolderNames /
IsAutoOwnParent are deleted (no Deprecated: stubs — early-development
project, no back-compat to preserve).
Tool availability (apps/availability.go) is case-fold throughout:
- mdedit: descendants of working/
- transmittal: descendants of staging/
- classifier: descendants of working/, staging/, or
archive/<party>/incoming/
Working/, WORKING/, working/ all match identically.
Test fixtures rewritten:
- special_test.go: covers IsAutoOwnPath / IsWormPath /
WormFolderLevelIndex / ResolveCanonical / canonical lists
- availability_test.go: per-party rules, case-fold scenarios
- fileapi_test.go: rolePermissionsTestSetup now seeds
Project-X/archive/Acme/{incoming,issued,received}/ rather than
Vendor/{Incoming,Issued,Received}/ at the project root
