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.

The button was renamed from 'Select Directory' to 'Add Local Directory'
in 22c142e (chore(headers): standardize across all 7 tools). The
template, in-tool welcome hint, and in-tool help text all updated;
mdedit/README.md was missed.
Investigated the underlying bug report ('Select Directory button isn't
showing'): the button itself is fine — present in template.html with
btn-primary class, never hidden, only visually demoted to btn--subtle
once a directory is loaded. The user's report was new-label confusion
from the rename. Fixing the README to match the rendered label closes
the discrepancy.

mdedit was the only tool whose dist/<tool>.html was force-tracked
(via `git add -f` in the build's stable-cut path). Inconsistent with
every other tool in the repo, where dist/ is fully gitignored. The
build regenerates mdedit/dist/mdedit.html the same way it regenerates
the others, so there's no reason to track it.
Drop the `git add -f` line in build:735 and `git rm --cached` the
file. The on-disk artifact stays put for the dev iteration loop;
only the index entry goes away.
Bake into the dev binary:
- ETag + max-age=0 on embedded HTML (304s on repeat loads)
- gzip compression middleware (~75% wire-size reduction)
- vendored jszip + docx-preview in archive/transmittal/classifier
- tee'd file-based access log via --access-log
Bake the standardized headers + archive bugfix + browse refactor
into the dev binary. Triggers notify-chart-dev → bumps tnd-zddc-chart
develop with appVersion=0.0.16-beta-<sha>.
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.
Bake the latest dev cut of all six tools into zddc/internal/apps/embedded/
so the dev image (built from main) ships the new browse filter UI +
vendored JSZip. Triggers notify-chart-dev which bumps the chart's
develop branch with appVersion=v0.0.16-beta-<sha>.
The zddc-server-v0.0.9 (and sibling) tags previously pointed at a
commit whose embedded versions.txt + tool HTMLs still carried
alpha-dirty labels — the cut process regenerated these in the
working tree but never folded them into the tagged commit. The
binary built from that tag (used by tnd-zddc-chart's prod
Dockerfile) embedded the alpha labels.
This commit folds the stable-labeled artifacts in. The seven
v0.0.9 tags are force-moved to point here so future binary builds
from `ZDDC_REF=stable` get clean stable bytes baked in. The
old commit (a02a26d) remains in history; just no tag references
it anymore.
Sustainable fix to ./build's release flow (commit before tag,
skip embedded mutation on plain dev/alpha cuts) is a separate
follow-up — this commit only fixes the in-flight state.
Schema-driven form renderer plus zddc-server endpoints that turn any
<name>.form.yaml into a working data-collection form at <path>/<name>.form.html.
Submissions land in <path>/<name>/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<email-sanitized>.yaml,
ACL-gated by the existing .zddc cascade. The form posts back to its own URL;
the server strips ".html" and routes by what's underneath, so create and
update use the same client-side code path.
Form spec dialect: JSON Schema 2020-12 + RJSF-style ui:* hints, written in
YAML. Chosen for LLM authorability — it's the canonical structured-output
target for OpenAI/Anthropic, and the ui:* convention is the most-trained UI
hint vocabulary. Supported subset for v0: type (string/number/integer/boolean/
array/object), enum, min/max, minLength/maxLength, required, additionalProperties:
false, properties, items, format (date, email). Round-trip mode is form-as-truth:
submission YAML is regenerated each save, comments are not preserved (the v1
file-as-truth mode for hand-edited files like .zddc itself is deferred).
New components:
* form/ — sixth single-file HTML tool, vanilla JS renderer (~760 LoC)
* zddc/internal/jsonschema/ — focused JSON Schema validator covering only
the v0 keyword subset. Match-implementation-cost-to-surface-used: a full
library brings 70%+ surface we don't use; revisit when v1 adds $ref +
oneOf + if/then/else.
* zddc/internal/handler/formhandler.go — RecognizeFormRequest / ServeForm,
capability-URL re-edit, atomic submission writes via the new
zddc.WriteAtomic helper extracted from writer.go.
* dispatch() in zddc-server/main.go now intercepts *.form.html and
*.yaml.html before the static-file path; spec existence is the trigger.
Build pipeline: form joins ZDDC_RELEASE_TOOLS in lockstep, gets its own
embedded copy in handler/form.html (separate from the apps cascade —
the form renderer is fixed, not subject to per-folder version overrides).
Tests: 5 new Playwright specs (form-safety) + 14 new Go tests across the
validator and handler. All 172 Playwright tests + 10 Go packages green.
End-to-end manual verification: GET empty → POST 201 + capability URL →
GET re-edit (pre-filled) → POST update → 200, raw YAML browsable, ACL
deny → 403.
Docs: form/ section added to AGENTS.md and ARCHITECTURE.md. AGENTS.md
also documents the implementation-vs-dependency policy. CLAUDE.md repo-shape
list extended.
Deferred (v1+): .zddc editor migration onto this system, file-as-truth
lossless YAML round-trip, ui:show-when conditional visibility, oneOf/anyOf,
apps-cascade preview hook, cascade-fetched form definitions.

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

Reverts the prior CLI simplification. ./build (no arg) now does source
work only — tool dist/ + cross-compiled zddc-server binaries — and
leaves the website worktree alone. Channel/release cuts are explicit:
./build dev build (source only, no deploy)
./build alpha cut alpha (cascades nothing)
./build beta cut beta (cascades alpha → beta)
./build release [X.Y.Z] cut stable (cascades all)
Rationale: editing source shouldn't have a side-effect on the live
site. The website worktree at ~/src/zddc-website/ is what Caddy serves
in real time, so any write to it is a deploy. Treating dev iteration
as alpha-publish was confusing — the user wanted source builds and
deploys to be distinct verbs.
Mechanically: a `dev` (default) branch is added to the case statement;
the post-build matrix-index regen + channel-link verifier are
conditional on RELEASE_CHANNEL being set; dev builds skip them.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Renames build.sh → build and replaces the --release flag form with
subcommands:
./build cut alpha (default; active dev iteration)
./build beta cut beta (cascades alpha → beta)
./build release cut stable (coordinated next version)
./build release X.Y.Z cut stable at explicit version
./build help
The contract shift: there's no longer a "plain dev build that doesn't
touch channels" at the top level. Every full-stack build is a publish
action — running ./build IS active dev iteration, which is what alpha
already meant. To iterate on one tool without writing to the website
worktree, use the per-tool sh tool/build.sh (unchanged).
Output continues to land in ${ZDDC_DEPLOY_RELEASES_DIR:-$HOME/src/zddc-website/releases}
and nothing is pushed automatically. Commit + push the website branch
yourself when you want to publish. Stable cuts still tag locally on
main; tags push separately too.
Behind the scenes: the export of ZDDC_DEPLOY_RELEASES_DIR is moved
above the per-tool build.sh invocations so children inherit it. The
prior "if RELEASE_CHANNEL else write_zddc_server_stubs_all" branch is
collapsed since RELEASE_CHANNEL is always set under the new CLI.
Docs (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, zddc/README.md) updated
to reference ./build everywhere; the per-tool sh tool/build.sh refs
stay (they're a separate, narrower entry point).

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.

Restructures the version picker on the releases page so channel
mirrors are first-class, selectable options:
Channels (mutable URLs)
stable — currently v0.0.8 ← default selection
beta — tracks stable
alpha — tracks stable
Pinned versions (immutable URLs)
v0.0.8
v0.0.2
v0.0.1
Picking "stable" now rewires every download link on the page to the
*_stable.html (HTML tools) or zddc-server_stable_<plat> (binary)
channel-mirror URL — the kind a user wants to copy + bookmark for a
"latest stable" reference. Same for beta and alpha. Picking a pinned
vX.Y.Z still rewires to immutable per-version URLs.
Removed the separate "Or pick a channel" chip-pill row that previously
sat under the picker. The dropdown is now the single control; chips
duplicated functionality and added visual noise. The .channel-chips
CSS rules in website/css/style.css come out with them.
Static defaults (without JS) now use the stable channel mirror URLs
too, so both copy-from-source and JS-rewire produce the same outcome
for users who want stable. The page works end-to-end with JS off.
Embedded snapshots refreshed.

Two issues from one session:
* File tree: ZDDC-conforming filenames render as a single line
even though the JS already produced two-div markup (filename-main +
filename-secondary). Cause: .tree-row__label was display:flex
(row-direction), so the two divs laid out side-by-side. Fix: wrap
each label's text in a new .tree-row__name span styled
flex-direction:column. Both file and folder code paths use the
same wrapper now; non-ZDDC entries collapse to a single
.filename-main line so typography stays consistent across the tree.
Tested by injecting a ZDDC filename into a mock directory and
asserting filename-secondary's bounding-box top is below
filename-main's bottom.
* Toast UI Editor was unreadable in dark mode. Toast UI ships with
light-only chrome; its .toastui-editor-md-container has color #222
on a transparent bg, so when mdedit's dark theme rendered the
surrounding pane in #1e1e1e the editor text fell on near-black
background → effectively invisible. Fix: add CSS overrides in
mdedit/css/editor.css that target the editor's load-bearing
surfaces (md-container, md-preview, ww-container, ProseMirror,
toolbar, mode-switch tabs, popups) and apply var(--bg) /
var(--text). Toolbar icons get a filter:invert(0.85) hue-rotate
to flip the sprite-baked dark glyphs. Both manual override
(data-theme="dark") and OS-pref auto fallback (prefers-color-scheme)
are covered. Tested by computing contrast ratios on every editor
surface in dark mode — all came in at 10:1+ (well above WCAG AA's
4.5:1).
Embedded snapshots refreshed to current main HEAD's dev build label.

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.

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.

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

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.
