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 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.

A machine-only HTTP endpoint that returns 200 if the request's
X-Auth-Request-Email is in the root .zddc admins: list, 403 otherwise.
No body, no redirect — pure authorization decision intended to be
polled by an upstream proxy's forward_auth directive.
The motivating use case is gating /devshell/* (code-server) in the
dev-shell pod on root-admin status before the request ever reaches
code-server, which has no built-in ACL of its own. zddc-server's
own routes keep the existing .zddc cascade ACL and don't go through
this endpoint.
Reuses zddc.IsAdmin (one cached map lookup) so the check is cheap
enough to call on every request. Edits to /srv/.zddc propagate via
the existing fsnotify watcher's policy-cache invalidation.
Tests cover empty email, non-admin, admin, and the bootstrap state
where no root .zddc exists (deny everyone — the safe default).
Docs: zddc/README.md "Forward-auth target for upstream proxies"
section + AGENTS.md notes bullet.

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.

Extends the form-based .zddc editor at /.profile/zddc/edit?path=<dir>
with an Apps section between Admins and the Effective chain.
The section is a six-row table — default plus the five canonical apps —
with one text input per row. Each row's right column shows a server-
rendered "Resolves to" preview computed by walking the cascade through
this directory and applying default + per-app composition. The preview
displays the final URL, "embedded (build-time default)", or "local file:
<path>" so operators see exactly what will be served.
Help text covers the full spec syntax (channel/version/URL/path forms,
:channel shorthand, default key) plus the ?v= per-request override and
its cache-only security constraint.
Permission gating is unchanged: existing CanEditZddc() strict-ancestor
rule applies — subtree admins cannot edit the file that grants their
own authority. Field-level errors land inline next to the input, just
like the existing ACL/admins fields.
POST handler (internal/handler/zddchandler.go) accepts a new Apps map
in the JSON write request, validates via the existing zddc.ValidateFile
flow (which now enforces apps.<name> spec syntax), and writes
atomically through the unchanged zddc.WriteFile path.
Three new tests: round-trip apps including the default key, per-field
validation error returns, and editor renders the apps section with
existing .zddc values pre-filled.

The middleware chain in main.go was:
AccessLogMiddleware ( CORSMiddleware ( ACLMiddleware ( dispatch ) ) )
ACLMiddleware extracts the user email from the configured header and
stores it in the request context via r.WithContext. But Go's context
propagates DOWN the chain (to handlers further in) — not back UP. The
new context-bearing request only exists inside the call to
next.ServeHTTP; once that returns, the outer middleware still has the
ORIGINAL request without the email. So AccessLogMiddleware's
EmailFromContext(r) call (which runs after next.ServeHTTP returns to
log the request) read from the original context and got an empty
string, falling through to "anonymous".
The /.profile/ page worked correctly because it reads the email
directly inside the handler — at that depth the context-bearing
request is the one in scope.
Fix: invert the chain so ACL is OUTERMOST.
ACLMiddleware ( AccessLogMiddleware ( CORSMiddleware ( dispatch ) ) )
Now ACL extracts the email and the new request flows down through
AccessLog (which sees the email-bearing context), CORS, and dispatch.
Add three regression tests in middleware_test.go:
TestAccessLogReadsEmailFromACLContext
The fix: with ACL outer, AccessLog logs email=alice@example.com
when X-Auth-Request-Email is set.
TestAccessLogAnonymousWhenNoEmail
The unchanged path: no header → email=anonymous (correct fallback).
TestAccessLogOuterDoesNotSeeInnerContext
Locks down Go's actual context-propagation behavior. Builds the
INVERTED (buggy) chain and asserts that AccessLog (outer) does NOT
see the email ACL (inner) set. If this ever fails, Go's context
propagation has changed in a way that lets inner-set context flow
upward — which would mean the reordering fix could be reverted.
All zddc-server tests pass via `go test ./...` (run in podman against
golang:1.24-alpine since this dev host doesn't have Go installed).

Replaces the super-admin-only /.admin/ surface with a public-by-default
/.profile/ page that layers admin tools server-side based on the
caller's effective access:
- Universal (everyone, anonymous included): identity card, effective
access summary, theme picker, localStorage utilities (export / import
/ clear, landing-presets viewer).
- Subtree admins additionally see: editable .zddc files list (linking
to the existing form-based editor) and a "Create new project folder"
form.
- Super-admins additionally see: server config, log viewer, whoami
headers (the old /.admin/ JSON endpoints, repointed under /.profile/).
Project creation is gated on CanEditZddc(newDir) — the same strict-
ancestor rule that already governs .zddc writes — so no new authority
concept is introduced. ValidateProjectName mirrors the existing
reserved-prefix policy (no leading '.' or '_', no path separators).
/.admin/* is hard-cut: no redirect shim. Old URLs fall through to the
existing dot-prefix guard and 404. Custom CSS file rename: prefer
<root>/.profile.css, fall back to legacy <root>/.admin.css.
Per-resource 404 leakage gates preserved on whoami / config / logs /
zddc / projects so non-admin callers cannot detect the existence of
admin-only sub-resources.
Tree-wide gofmt -w applied as a side-effect.

Generalize the admin model from "single root super-admin" to a
delegated chain: a `<dir>/.zddc/admins` list grants admin authority
for that subtree, with a strict-ancestor rule preventing
self-elevation (you cannot edit the .zddc that grants your own
authority — only files strictly below it).
Add a guided server-rendered editor at /.admin/zddc/edit?path=<dir>
so subtree admins can manage their fiefdoms without filesystem
access. JSON API at /.admin/zddc covers GET (file + effective chain
+ can_edit), POST (atomic write + cache invalidation), DELETE,
plus a /tree endpoint listing every .zddc visible to the caller.
Optional theming via <root>/.admin.css.
Validation: glob syntax check, root-self-demotion rejection,
reserved-prefix path guard, YAML round-trip sanity. Writes are
atomic (temp file + fsync + rename) and invalidate the policy
cache.
Also includes the prior in-flight `Title` field on ProjectInfo
so per-project .zddc titles surface on the landing-page picker.

The .archive virtual directory now emits both <tracking>.html (highest
base rev) and <tracking>_<rev>.html (each specific base rev) so HTML
documents can deep-link to a known revision and have it resolve to the
first chronologically received copy. Modifier files (<rev>+C1 etc.) stay
reachable via the resolver but aren't surfaced in the listing.
.archive at any folder depth serves the same global index — the depth
exists so offline HTML can use ../.archive/<tracking>.html and let the
browser resolve it before the request reaches the server. The earlier
attempt at scoping listings to the contextPath subtree was wrong; gating
is purely by ACL: contextPath gates the listing endpoint, and each
entry's resolved file gets its own per-target ACL check (404 on denial,
not 403, so cross-subtree existence isn't disclosed).
Adds the first tests for the previously untested archive package, plus
end-to-end ACL coverage for the handler (cascade direction, default-deny
once any .zddc exists, anonymous denied under allow:[\"*@…\"], stable
Location across contextPaths).

ACLMiddleware now slog.Debug's the configured email-header name, the
observed value at that name, and the full r.Header map on every request.
Off at the default INFO log level; enable per-pod with ZDDC_LOG_LEVEL=debug.
Motivated by debugging the X-Auth-Request-Email passthrough chain — when
access logs show email=anonymous, /.admin/whoami is unreachable (the
admin gate requires a non-empty email, which is the chicken-and-egg).
The debug log line dumps headers without the gate, so an operator can
identify whichever header name the upstream proxy is actually setting
(X-Forwarded-User, X-Forwarded-Email, Remote-User, X-Authentik-Email,
etc.) and adjust ZDDC_EMAIL_HEADER accordingly.
The debug-level dump captures auth tokens and cookies along with
everything else; safe in dev clusters, not appropriate for production
unless the operator is comfortable with the trade-off. README documents
the trade-off in the Admin Debug Page section.

Listings now filter both '.' and '_' prefixes:
- '.' entries: excluded from listings AND 404 on direct HTTP access
(existing behavior). For invisible side-state like .devshell.
- '_' entries: excluded from listings only — direct URL access still
works. For operator scaffolding like install.zip's _template/
directory of bootstrap stubs that should be reachable but should
not appear in the project picker.
Filter applied at both listing entry points: ServeProjectList (the
project picker JSON at GET / Accept: application/json) and the generic
listing/FromDirEntries (used by ServeDirectory for sub-directory
browse listings).

Three improvements bundled because they all ship as zddc-server v0.0.2:
* /.admin/ debug dashboard with /whoami, /config, /logs sub-routes.
Authorization via a top-level `admins:` glob list in <ZDDC_ROOT>/.zddc
(root-only — subdir entries deliberately ignored to prevent privilege
escalation via subtree write access). Non-admin requests get 404 so the
page is invisible. Recent logs surface via a 500-entry slog ring buffer
teed off the existing TextHandler. Lets operators debug without
kubectl exec.
* Default ZDDC_EMAIL_HEADER changes from `X-Email` to
`X-Auth-Request-Email` — the oauth2-proxy / nginx auth-request
convention that the TND helm chart already sets explicitly.
Operators who set the env var explicitly are unaffected; deployments
relying on the previous default need to set ZDDC_EMAIL_HEADER=X-Email
or update their proxy.
* dispatch() rejects any URL whose segments contain a dot prefix other
than the recognized virtual prefixes (.admin, cfg.IndexPath /
.archive). Matches the existing listing-pipeline filter so hidden
subtrees on the served PVC (e.g. /srv/.devshell — used by the
in-cluster dev-shell for persistent home-dir state) become
unreachable via direct HTTP fetch, not just hidden in listings.
Refreshes the X-Email reference in website/index.html accordingly.
