Three small helpers under window.zddc.cap, wired into every tool's
build:
cap.at(path) — Promise<AccessView|null>. Fetches
/.profile/access?path=<urlpath> and
memoises per-path for the session.
Used by tools to gate top-of-page
affordances on path_verbs / path_is_admin
/ path_can_elevate_grant.
cap.has(node, verb) — boolean. Reads the listing entry's
verbs string for the named verb.
Falls back to node.writable for 'w'
when verbs is absent (offline FS-API
listings or pre-promotion clients).
cap.handleForbidden(resp, — parses a 403 response's JSON body for
opts) missing_verb and renders an error
toast. When opts.path is supplied AND
the path-scoped access view reports
path_can_elevate_grant covering the
missing verb, the toast appends an
"Elevate" button that flips the
elevation cookie and reloads.
Browse loader.js + tree.js carry the new verbs field through to the
node objects so context-menu gating can call cap.has(node, 'w'|'d')
without changing the legacy node.writable contract. New CSS rule
.zddc-toast__action styles the inline Elevate button.
Concatenation order: cap.js comes after toast.js + elevation.js so
the dependencies (window.zddc.toast, window.zddc.elevation) are
present at module-load time.

Root cause of "I'm root admin but the editor says read-only."
loader.js parses the listing JSON and stamps `writable` onto the raw
entry. tree.js:newNode() then copies every other field (name, url,
isDir, size, modTime, ext, handle, virtual …) into the tree node —
but dropped `writable`. So `node.writable` was always undefined and
`canSave(node)` short-circuited to false, mounting the YAML and
markdown editors read-only even for an elevated admin where the
server had correctly stamped writable=true.
Symptom: red banner / read-only mode regardless of admin status.
Server-side log line was correct (elevated=true active_admin=true
chain_admin_level=0); the bit just never reached the editor.
One-line fix: include `writable: !!raw.writable` alongside `virtual`
in the tree-node initialiser. Verified end-to-end against the live
bitnest fixture — every entry now carries the bit through.

Document-level keydown handler covers the W3C tree-view pattern so
users can drive the browse pane without the mouse:
↓ / ↑ — move selection (auto-previews files as the cursor
lands so the right pane keeps up)
→ — expand collapsed folder; jump to first child if
already expanded; no-op on leaves
← — collapse expanded folder; otherwise jump to parent
Enter / Space — preview file / toggle folder
Home / End — first / last visible row
Bails out cleanly when focus is in an input/textarea/contenteditable
or when a modal / context menu is open, so it doesn't fight existing
filter typing, YAML editor, or the right-click menu's own keys. Any
modifier (Ctrl/Cmd/Alt) lets the browser shortcut through unchanged.
Selection updates scroll the now-current row into view via
scrollIntoView({block:'nearest'}). Tree module gains a visibleIds
export so events.js can walk the same filtered+expanded order the
renderer uses.

Two small surface upgrades on file rows:
- Tree icon column now stacks the Lucide glyph on top of a small
uppercase extension chip (PDF, DOCX, YAML, etc.). File type reads
at a glance without expanding the row. Folders and zips skip the
chip — their glyph already carries enough.
- Hovercard on a ZDDC-parseable file gains two clickable references
in the .archive section:
Latest → /<project>/.archive/<tracking>.html
This revision → /<project>/.archive/<tracking>_<rev>.html
Both forms are dispatcher-canonicalised to project-root, so the
link works from any depth. Folders that parse (transmittal folders)
get just the Latest link.

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).

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).

When browse runs against zddc-server, expanding a top-level .zip now
fetches "<…>.zip/" as a normal directory listing (the server extracts
members on demand) instead of downloading the entire archive and
parsing it with JSZip in the browser. Members open/preview via their
real server URLs like any file. Nested zips (a .zip inside a .zip) and
FS-API (offline) mode keep the existing JSZip path; offline gets
migrated to a shared adapter in the next change.

User report: project root listings showed both "Archive" (PascalCase on
disk) and "archive (empty)" (lowercase virtual) — confusing duplicates.
This sweep:
1. Test fixture migrated to lowercase canonical folder names.
tests/data/test-archive.sh now creates archive/, received/, issued/
on disk. Three projects also get human-friendly .zddc titles
("Wabash Industrial Refit — Phase 1", etc.), and Project-3 carries
a display: override demonstrating the new map. Party names
(PartyA/B/C) stay unchanged — non-canonical.
2. New .zddc display: schema. Maps a child entry's on-disk name to a
human-friendly label. The on-disk name stays canonical (lowercase
for project-root folders); only the rendered label changes. Match
is case-insensitive. Example:
display:
archive: "Records"
working: "In-Progress"
No upward cascade — a parent .zddc doesn't relabel grand-children;
each directory sets display: on its own children.
3. listing.FileInfo gets a DisplayName field. fs.ListDirectory reads
the directory's .zddc display map and stamps DisplayName per entry.
The field is omitempty so listings without overrides stay
byte-identical to before.
4. Virtual canonical project-root folders (archive/working/staging/
reviewing) are now emitted by zddc-server (fs.ListDirectory) at any
project root where the on-disk variant is absent in any case. This
replaces the client-side injection in browse and lets the display:
map apply to virtual entries the same way it applies to real ones.
Browse drops its withVirtualCanonicals helper; the loader carries
display_name through from the server's listing.
5. Archive app project picker dropdown shows the .zddc title of each
project (sourced from ProjectInfo.Title in the server's project
list), falling back to the folder name when no title is set. When
they differ, the folder name is rendered in muted mono after the
title for traceability. data-name still carries the canonical
folder name so URL state stays stable.

#5 — Double-click on a folder no longer toggles collapse.
Root cause: the single-click handler called tree.render() immediately,
which replaced the clicked row element. The browser's double-click
detection requires the second click to land on the SAME target as the
first, so dblclick never fired for folders.
Fix: defer the single-click toggle by 220ms. A pending dblclick within
the window cancels the toggle and runs navigateIntoFolder instead.
Modifier-clicks (shift/alt for recursive) and ZIP expands skip the
deferral — they're never followed by a dblclick navigation.
#3 — Browse at /<project>/ now always shows the four canonical
folders (archive, working, staging, reviewing) even when they don't
yet exist on disk. Each missing folder is synthesized client-side as
a "virtual" row: muted icon + label + "(empty)" hint, double-clickable
to navigate. zddc-server already serves an empty listing for these
paths (commit 3fc3717), so navigation into a virtual folder works
without 404 and the user lands in a sensible empty workspace.

The tree's underlying setSort API was carried forward from the old
table-with-clickable-headers UI but had no widget driving it after
the layout reshape. Adds an explicit dropdown in the toolbar:
Sort: [Name (A→Z) ▾]
[Name (Z→A) ]
[Modified (new→old) ]
[Modified (old→new) ]
[Size (large→small) ]
[Size (small→large) ]
[Type (A→Z) ]
Implementation:
- new tree.setSortExplicit(key, dir) — sets both axes in one call
(the existing tree.setSort toggles direction on repeat-clicks,
which is the right semantics for column-header clicks but wrong
for an explicit dropdown).
- events.js parses the dropdown value as "<key>:<asc|desc>" and
calls setSortExplicit. The dropdown is initialised to reflect
the current sort state on mount.

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).

The two filter rows (📄 file/ext + 📁 folder) didn't really earn their
header real estate. Browse is for navigating directory structure;
ad-hoc filters across a tree of mixed file types and depths weren't
the right affordance, and the visual weight competed with the column
headers and the breadcrumb. Removed entirely:
- template.html: dropped both <tr class="filter-row"> rows in <thead>,
the related "Filter rows" help section, and the empty-state copy
that mentioned the 📄/📁 rows.
- init.js: dropped state.filters (file/folder/ext slots).
- events.js: dropped the .column-filter[data-filter] input wiring.
- tree.js: dropped recomputeVisibility() and the n.visible plumbing
in visibleIds() and updateCount(). Render is now a straight depth-
first walk over expanded subtrees; the count is just total rows.
setFilter is removed from the public API.
- css/tree.css: dropped .filter-row*, .filter-row__icon, and the
browse-local .column-filter rules (.column-filter is also defined
in shared/base.css for tools that still use it; that stays).
No test changes — tests/browse.spec.js never exercised filters.

- 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.
Bundles Phase 2 polish + the user-requested header/breadcrumb work:
- Breadcrumbs replacing the plain currentPath span. Server mode
renders linkified ancestor segments (each <a> navigates to that
directory; the browser fetches browse.html, the new instance
auto-loads the listing). FS-API mode renders the rootHandle name
as a non-link (no ancestor handles to navigate). Both prefix the
path with a 🏠 root icon. Trailing slash + bold-current segment
match common file-explorer conventions.
- Subdued 'Select Directory' button in server mode. Once browse is
serving a real directory listing, the local-folder switcher is
available but visually quiet (btn--subtle: transparent, muted
color). FS-API mode keeps the primary styling (it's how the user
got there). New btn--subtle CSS class added to browse's tree.css.
A refresh button (⟳) appears next to it in both modes; clicking
it re-fetches the current root listing.
- Header consistency: browse now matches archive's header layout
(refresh + help buttons in addition to theme on the right). Help
is a placeholder for future help dialog wiring.
- File preview popup. Click a file row → opens a popup window with
the file rendered. Plain types (PDF, HTML, image) load in
iframes; TIFF + ZIP listings via shared/preview-lib.js's
renderTiff / renderZipListing helpers; text via <pre>; unknown
types → 'click Download' placeholder. Modifier-click (ctrl/cmd/
shift) and middle-click still open the file in a new tab via the
underlying <a target=_blank>. Single popup window is reused
across multiple file clicks (matches archive's UX).
- ZIP inline expansion. .zip files have a chevron and act like
folders in the tree. First expand fetches the zip bytes
(server URL or FS handle or parent-zip read), parses with JSZip
(auto-loaded from CDN), and synthesizes the entry tree. Nested
directories within the zip lazy-expand on demand by re-walking
the cached entry list at the right path prefix. Click on a
zip-entry file opens the preview popup with bytes read from
JSZip. Recursive expand-all skips zip archives by design — they
can be very large, and explicit click-to-expand is safer.
- Extension multi-select filter. Toolbar now has a <select
multiple> populated with extensions present in the current
view. Filter is OR-of-selected; combined with the name filter
it's AND-of-both. Folders pass through (so expanding a folder
whose name doesn't match the ext filter still shows its file
children that do match).
Three issues from initial v0.0.12 dev/prod testing:
1. Online listings empty.
directory.go was missing Vary: Accept on its responses, so
browser/CDN cached the HTML response (the embedded browse.html)
and served it again when browse's JS later fetched the same URL
with Accept: application/json. JSON parse failed, autoDetect
returned null, empty state showed. Adds Vary: Accept on both
branches and changes browse.html cache-control to no-cache so
deployed updates land immediately.
2. Top-level folder rows tall, shrink as subtree expands.
The .browse-table had flex:1 in a flex column. <table> in flex
doesn't reliably distribute height across rows — with few rows,
each row stretched. Wrap the table in a div with overflow:auto
and drop flex:1 from the table itself.
3. Recursive expand/collapse.
Shift-click (or alt-click) on a folder now expand-all or
collapse-all its subtree. Plain click still toggles just that
folder. Implementation: tree.expandSubtree() walks BFS, loading
each level's children in parallel, re-rendering between levels
so the user sees progress. tree.collapseSubtree() recursively
marks the subtree collapsed (children stay loaded for instant
re-expand).
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).
