No lint, typecheck, or format commands exist — the project is plain sh + vanilla JS.

## Architecture

Five independent single-file HTML tools (`archive`, `transmittal`, `classifier`, `mdedit`, `landing`). Each compiles to one self-contained `.html` in `dist/` with all CSS and JS inlined — the first four name their output `dist/tool.html`; `landing` writes `dist/index.html` (it's served at `/` by `zddc-server`). Tools share a small set of canonical helpers in `shared/` (filename parsing, ZDDC filter UI, theme, help) — see "Shared modules" below.

```
tool/
  css/           source stylesheets (concatenated in order)
  js/            vanilla JS IIFEs (concatenated in order)
  template.html  placeholder markers: {{CSS_PLACEHOLDER}}, {{JS_PLACEHOLDER}}, {{BUILD_LABEL}}
  build.sh       assembles dist/tool.html
  dist/tool.html generated output — committed with `git add -f`

shared/
  base.css        CSS tokens and primitives included first by every tool's CSS build
  zddc.js         canonical filename/folder/revision parsers, formatters, status validation
  zddc-filter.js  shared ZDDC project/status filter UI module
  theme.js        light/dark theme switcher
  help.js         shared help dialog module
  build-lib.sh    POSIX sh helpers (ensure_exists, concat_files, build_timestamp)
                  sourced by every tool's build.sh via: . "$root_dir/../shared/build-lib.sh"

website/
  index.html                       hand-edited intro page (root URL)
  releases/
    index.html                     versions index, regenerated by build.sh from the Codeberg release list
    manifest.json                  <tool>-<channel> → tag map (regenerated by build.sh; consumed by the level-2 stub at runtime)
  bootstrap/
    level1/<tool>.html             same-origin level-1 stubs (4 tools, no landing)
    track-stable/<tool>.html       level-2 stubs that track the current-stable channel
    track-alpha/<tool>.html        level-2 stubs that track the alpha channel
    track-beta/<tool>.html         level-2 stubs that track the beta channel

bootstrap/
  level1.html.tmpl   per-project bootstrap template (relative ../<tool>.html)
  level2.html.tmpl   level-2 channel-tracking bootstrap template
  README.md          install / channel / pin docs
```

**Critical:** `dist/` files are gitignored. They're the canonical built artifact for testing and the source for `--release` uploads to Codeberg, but they aren't checked in. Never edit them directly.

The per-version `<tool>_v<X.Y.Z>.html` artifacts and zddc-server binaries also aren't checked in — they live on Codeberg as release assets attached to git tags. `website/releases/` only contains `index.html` (versions index) and `manifest.json` (channel → tag map), both regenerated by `build.sh` from a Codeberg API call.

## Shared CSS (`shared/base.css`)

Included as the **first** positional arg to every tool's `concat_files` CSS call. Provides:
- `:root` CSS custom properties — `--primary`, `--bg`, `--text`, `--border`, `--font`, etc.
- Brand color: `--primary: #2a5a8a` (matches zddc.varasys.io)
- Button primitive: `.btn`, `.btn-primary`, `.btn-secondary`, `.btn-sm`, `.btn-lg`, `.btn-link`
- `.app-header` + `.app-header__title` chrome rules
- `.build-timestamp`, `.hidden`, `.truncate`, webkit scrollbars

**Do not** define these in any tool's own CSS — they come from shared.

**Toast CSS** lives in `classifier/css/base.css` only (classifier is the only tool that uses toasts).

## Transmittal CSS quirks

- `transmittal/css/base.css` overrides `html { font-size: 16px }` inside `@media screen` — this must stay. `shared/base.css` sets `14px`; transmittal's floating labels are rem-based and were designed for 16px.
- The floating label position is defined in `transmittal/css/forms.css`, not Tailwind classes. If adding new Tailwind classes to `template.html`, add them to `transmittal/css/utilities.css` too — there is no Tailwind build step.

## Build system rules

- Every `build.sh` sources `shared/build-lib.sh` first (provides `ensure_exists`, `concat_files`, `build_timestamp`). Set `root_dir` before sourcing.
- Build scripts use **POSIX sh** (`#!/bin/sh` with `set -eu`), not bash.
- `concat_files` accepts **positional args only** (not array names).
- `awk` processes `template.html`, replacing `{{PLACEHOLDER}}` markers and stripping CDN `<script>`/`<link>` tags (pattern: `https?://`)
- `{{BUILD_LABEL}}` is substituted in all five tools via `gsub` in awk (use `gsub`, not `print` — the placeholder is inline in an HTML line). Value is `Built: <timestamp> BETA` for dev builds, `v<version>` for stable releases, and `<channel> · <date> · <sha>` for alpha/beta channel builds; computed before the awk step. The shared `is_red` flag controls whether the label is wrapped in a red+bold `<span>` (true for dev/alpha/beta, false for stable).
- Cleans up temp files via `trap cleanup EXIT`

**`</` escaping is mandatory.** Any JS containing `</tag>` inside string or template literals will break inline `<script>` embedding. Run:
```bash
sed 's#</#<\\/#g' "$input_js" > "$safe_js"
```
Required for any new tool with vendor JS or JS containing HTML template literals.

## JS module pattern

All JS is vanilla, no bundlers. Files are IIFEs, registered on `window.app.modules`. Load order = declaration order in `build.sh`. `window.app` is the only global.

```javascript
(function() {
    window.app.modules.mymodule = { ... };
})();
```

**Exception:** archive uses plain globals (`APP_STATE`, top-level functions) — not the IIFE/modules pattern.

## ZDDC filename parsers

All parsing/formatting goes through `shared/zddc.js`, exposed as `window.zddc`. Tools call it directly — no per-tool wrappers.

`window.zddc` exports:
- `parseFilename(name)` → `{ trackingNumber, revision, status, title, extension, valid } | null` (extension WITHOUT leading dot)
- `parseFolder(name)` → `{ date, trackingNumber, status, title, valid } | null`
- `parseRevision(rev)` → `{ base, modifier, modifierType, modifierNumber, isDraft, modifierIsDraft, full }`
- `compareRevisions(a, b)` → number (canonical sort order)
- `formatFilename(parts)` / `formatFolder(parts)` — round-trips parsed output
- `isValidStatus(code)` — accepts known status codes plus `---`

All file objects across tools use `file.trackingNumber` (string) and `file.extension` (string, **no leading dot**, e.g. `'pdf'` not `'.pdf'`). When concatenating into a filename, write `name + '.' + ext`.

Coverage lives in `tests/zddc.spec.js` (47 cases). Add new edge cases there, not in tool tests.

## Testing quirks

- Playwright + Chromium only (File System Access API requirement)
- Tests open `dist/tool.html` via `file://` protocol — **always build before testing**
- File System Access API is mocked via `page.addInitScript()` using `tests/fixtures/mock-fs-api.js`
- Use `waitUntil: 'load'` or `'domcontentloaded'` not `'networkidle'` — bundled scripts keep the network "active"
- Archive's `#noDirectoryMessage` empty-state overlay is `position: absolute; top: 50px` — it must clear the header or it will block button clicks in tests

## ZDDC filename convention

Format: `trackingNumber_revision (status) - title.extension`

- `trackingNumber`: no spaces or underscores (e.g. `123456-EL-SPC-2623`)
- `revision`: `A`, `B`, `0`; draft prefix `~`; modifiers `+C1`, `+B1`, `+N1`, `+Q1`
- `status`: `IFA IFB IFC IFD IFI IFP IFR IFU REC RSA RSB RSC RSD RSI` or `---`
- Folder names prefix with date: `2025-10-31_trackingNumber (status) - title`

## Git workflow

- Feature-branch workflow; squash-merge feature branches to `main`
- Conventional commits: `feat(archive): ...`, `fix(transmittal): ...`
- Release tags: `archive-v1.0.0` (per-tool semver)
- Commit dist files: `git add -f tool/dist/tool.html`

### Releasing — channels and layout

Three channels. Versioning is **pre-release semver**: stable owns clean `vX.Y.Z`; alpha and beta carry `vX.Y.Z-alpha.N` / `vX.Y.Z-beta.N`. The next-stable target X.Y.Z is patch-bumped from the latest clean `<tool>-vX.Y.Z` tag.

**Storage model.** Built artifacts live on Codeberg as release assets attached to git tags — *not* committed to this repo. The website at zddc.varasys.io serves them by reverse-proxying `/releases/<tag>/<asset>` to the corresponding Codeberg URL, so consumers (operators' bootstrap stubs, `zddc-use`) only ever talk to zddc.varasys.io. Channel resolution is via `website/releases/manifest.json` — a small file `build.sh` regenerates from the Codeberg API and commits.

- **Stable**: `sh tool/build.sh --release [version]` (or just `--release` to auto-bump patch from the latest stable tag). Tags `<tool>-v<version>`, uploads `<tool>_v<version>.html` as a release asset on Codeberg. Label: `vX.Y.Z` (black). Skips silently if source has not changed since the latest stable tag (HEAD-vs-tag diff).
- **Beta**: `sh tool/build.sh --release beta`. Tags `<tool>-v<next-patch>-beta.N`, uploads `<tool>_v<next-patch>-beta.N.html`. Label: `vX.Y.Z-beta · <date> · <sha>` (red).
- **Alpha**: `sh tool/build.sh --release alpha`. Tags `<tool>-v<next-patch>-alpha.N`, uploads. Label: `vX.Y.Z-alpha · <date> · <sha>` (red).
- **Plain dev builds** (no `--release`): produce `tool/dist/<tool>.html` only. No website/releases side-effect, no Codeberg upload. To publish, re-run with `--release alpha`.

After any release run, `sh build.sh` queries the Codeberg API once and rewrites `website/releases/index.html` and `manifest.json`. Commit those alongside the release.

After cutting a release, run `git push --tags` to publish the tag.

`$CODEBERG_TOKEN` must be exported before any `--release` invocation. The `promote_release` helper calls `publish_codeberg_release` which uses the token to create the release and upload the asset.

`website/index.html` (the root URL of zddc.varasys.io) is **hand-edited static content**, not built by `landing/build.sh`. The landing tool ships only as a Codeberg release asset; the self-contained install snippet curls `landing_v<ver>.html` to `<deployment-root>/index.html` at customer-deployment time.

### Channel discipline (MUST rules)

The build system does not enforce these. Treating channels carelessly defeats the point of having three. Be disciplined.

1. **Stable doesn't regress.** No known-broken features that worked in the previous stable. If you ship `v0.0.5` with a bug, the path forward is `v0.0.6` with a fix — never edit `v0.0.5` in place. Stable files are immutable.
2. **No backports.** Don't try to patch an older stable version. Always cut a new stable at a higher version. Users pinned to the old version stay pinned by their own choice; they can move forward when they want.
3. **Alpha and beta are mutable.** Document this anywhere you invite users to test them. Pinning `?v=alpha` (or `_alpha.html`) in a production deployment is a mistake; it gets rebuilt without notice.
4. **Stale-channel rule.** Users tracking alpha (or beta) MUST never see a build older than current stable. After every stable release, run `./freshen-channel <tool> alpha` and `./freshen-channel <tool> beta` so each channel is at-least-current. This is not optional.
5. **Hotfix path.** For critical bugs: fix on `main`, cut a new stable (no beta soak required), then freshen alpha + beta. Tag the commit message `fix:` or include "hotfix" so the intent is visible in `git log`.
6. **Beta soak before promoting (recommended).** Give a beta a few days of exposure before cutting the same code as stable. Not enforced; use judgment for trivial changes.

### Freshen helper

`./freshen-channel <tool> <channel>` rebuilds the alpha or beta channel of a tool from its current stable tag, cutting a new pre-release tag (e.g., `<tool>-v<next-patch>-alpha.N`) and uploading the asset to Codeberg. Use it after every stable release (rule 4 above) and any other time alpha/beta has fallen behind stable.

```sh
./freshen-channel archive alpha
./freshen-channel transmittal beta
```

What it does:

1. Finds the latest `<tool>-v*` clean stable tag.
2. Creates a temporary git worktree at that tag — does **not** touch the main worktree's HEAD or working tree.
3. Runs `<tool>/build.sh --release <channel>` inside the worktree, which tags `<tool>-v<next-patch>-<channel>.N` and uploads to Codeberg.
4. Removes the worktree.

The on-page label of the freshened build is `v<next-stable>-<channel> · <today> · <stable-tag-sha>` — the SHA pins which stable was used as the source, recoverable via `git checkout`.

Note: the build pipeline used is the one **at the tag**, not on `main`. That is intentional (pure reproducibility). If you have made build-system improvements since stable was cut and want the freshen to use them, cut a new stable first.

### Bootstrap stubs

`build.sh` regenerates `website/bootstrap/` on every invocation:

- `bootstrap/level1/<tool>.html` — 4 same-origin level-1 stubs (archive, transmittal, classifier, mdedit; landing has no level-1 stub since it only lives at deployment root).
- `bootstrap/track-{alpha,beta,stable}/<tool>.html` — 5 level-2 stubs per channel that resolve the channel via `zddc.varasys.io/releases/manifest.json` and fetch the asset via `zddc.varasys.io/releases/<tag>/<tool>_v<version>.html` (Caddy proxies to Codeberg).

End users install via copy-paste shell snippets on the home page's "Install on your server" section — each snippet `curl`s the relevant stubs (or a one-shot version-pinned HTML, for the self-contained option) into the operator's deployment directory.

See `bootstrap/README.md` for the install / pin / audit story.

### Worktrees

Use `git worktree` to run multiple agents on separate branches simultaneously without filesystem collisions.

- Worktrees live at `~/src/zddc-<branch-name>` (sibling of the main clone)
- Before starting work on a feature branch, check `git worktree list`; if no worktree exists, create one: `git worktree add ~/src/zddc-<branch-name> -b <branch-name>`
- All edits, builds (`sh build.sh`), and tests (`npm test`) run from within the worktree directory — build scripts use relative paths so this works correctly
- The `dist/` force-commit rule (`git add -f`) applies per-worktree
- After the branch is merged, clean up: `git worktree remove ~/src/zddc-<branch-name>` then delete the branch
- Never run `git checkout` or `git switch` inside a worktree that another agent may be using

## Transmittal-specific

- Two-phase hydration: `populateStatic()` before publish, `hydrate()` on load of published file
- Reactive state via Proxy — `app.state.mode = 'view'` auto-notifies subscribers
- Runtime CDN loads (jszip, docx-preview, xlsx) are allowed only for the optional DOCX/XLSX preview; core features work offline
- Published payload stored in `<script id="transmittal-data" type="application/json">`

## mdedit-specific

- `css/tailwind-utils.css` is a pre-generated static subset (~80 classes). Add new Tailwind classes here; do not re-run Tailwind.
- Toast UI Editor v3.2.2 is bundled in `vendor/`; `template.html` loads it from CDN for dev convenience
- `</` escaping is essential: `sed 's#</#<\\/#g'` runs on both app JS and vendor JS at build time

## zddc-server

Go HTTP server sub-project living at `zddc/`. Replaces `caddy file-server --browse` for ZDDC archives.

### Build

zddc-server ships as a cross-compiled binary, not a container image. There's no Containerfile or compose file in this repo (the chart Dockerfiles in `tnd-zddc-chart` compile from source at deploy time, fetching the right tag from Codeberg).

```sh
# Compile a local binary for the host platform (requires Go 1.24+)
(cd zddc && go build -o zddc-server ./cmd/zddc-server)

# Or run directly without producing a binary
(cd zddc && go run ./cmd/zddc-server)
```

The repo's top-level `sh build.sh` cross-compiles the four release binaries (linux/amd64, darwin/amd64, darwin/arm64, windows/amd64) into `zddc/dist/` when Go is on PATH. It's silently skipped otherwise — the HTML tools build regardless.

### Run (development)

```sh
ZDDC_ROOT=/path/to/your/archive ZDDC_TLS_CERT=none ZDDC_ADDR=:8080 \
  go run ./cmd/zddc-server
```

For a release binary (downloaded from Codeberg or built via `sh build.sh`):

```sh
ZDDC_ROOT=/path/to/your/archive ZDDC_TLS_CERT=none ZDDC_ADDR=:8080 \
  ./zddc/dist/zddc-server-linux-amd64
```

### Key environment variables

| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| `ZDDC_ROOT` | *(required)* | Path to served file tree |
| `ZDDC_ADDR` | `:8443` | Bind address |
| `ZDDC_EMAIL_HEADER` | `X-Auth-Request-Email` | Header set by upstream proxy with user email (oauth2-proxy / nginx auth-request convention) |
| `ZDDC_INDEX_PATH` | `.archive` | Virtual archive index URL segment |
| `ZDDC_LOG_LEVEL` | `info` | Logging verbosity |
| `ZDDC_CORS_ORIGIN` | `https://zddc.varasys.io` | Comma-separated CORS allowlist; empty value disables CORS. Default lets tools served from zddc.varasys.io call back into a customer-deployed server. |

### Release tagging

`zddc/release.sh` is the canonical path. It tags the commit, compiles
the binaries (native Go), and uploads them as Codeberg release assets.
There's no container image build / push anymore — the chart's
`Dockerfile.prod` and `Dockerfile` (dev) compile zddc-server from
source at build time, fetching the right tag from Codeberg directly.
The upstream `codeberg.org/varasys/zddc-server` registry is frozen
(historical tags only).

```sh
sh zddc/release.sh                       # alpha cut, version auto-derived
sh zddc/release.sh alpha                 # same
sh zddc/release.sh beta                  # beta cut
sh zddc/release.sh stable                # stable cut, patch++ from latest stable
sh zddc/release.sh stable 0.1.0          # stable cut, explicit version
```

**Default channel is `alpha`** so a stable-equivalent tag never
appears by accident during active development. Pass `beta` to soak;
pass `stable` only when deliberately promoting. The script tags the
commit but does NOT push — finish with `git push origin <branch>` and
`git push origin <tag>`.

**Versioning** — pre-release semver. Stable cuts get clean `vX.Y.Z`
tags. Alpha and beta cuts get `vX.Y.Z-alpha.N` / `vX.Y.Z-beta.N`
where `X.Y.Z` is the next patch of the latest clean stable and `N`
is a per-channel counter that resets when stable advances. Example
sequence (current stable v0.0.7):

```
alpha → v0.0.8-alpha.1
alpha → v0.0.8-alpha.2
beta  → v0.0.8-beta.1
alpha → v0.0.8-alpha.3        (alpha and beta count separately)
stable → v0.0.8                (counter resets at next-patch advance)
alpha → v0.0.9-alpha.1
```

Pre-release semver ordering (`0.0.8-alpha.1 < 0.0.8-alpha.2 <
0.0.8-beta.1 < 0.0.8`) is honored by all standard tooling — Codeberg
release sorting, `git tag --sort=-v:refname`, `sort -V`, npm, cargo —
so consumers can pin or compare versions without surprises.

**Binary publishing** — release.sh uploads the four cross-compiled
binaries (`zddc-server-{linux,darwin,windows}-{amd64,arm64}`) as
release assets attached to the new git tag on Codeberg. The website
at zddc.varasys.io reverse-proxies `/releases/<tag>/<asset>` URLs to
the corresponding Codeberg release-asset URL, so consumers
(`zddc-use`, the level-2 bootstrap stubs, the dynamic chart
Dockerfiles) only ever talk to zddc.varasys.io.

After publishing: run `sh build.sh` to refresh
`website/releases/index.html` and `manifest.json` against the new
release list, and commit those.

Prerequisites:
- Go 1.24+ on PATH (or run from a Go container).
- `$CODEBERG_TOKEN` exported, scoped to write the VARASYS/ZDDC repo.

There is no CI for this — solo workflow benefits from one canonical
local path that fails loudly and visibly on the developer's terminal.

### Notes

- No external test framework yet — Go unit tests run with `go test ./...` inside `zddc/` (requires Go 1.24+)
- Portfolio files (`*.portfolio`) in the served tree appear as virtual group directories
- Every folder exposes a `.archive` virtual directory backed by the same global index — the depth in the URL only matters so HTML produced for offline use can reach `.archive/` via `../.archive/` relative links and have the browser resolve them before the request hits the server. The flat listing emits two redirect entries per tracking number: `<tracking>.html` (highest base rev) and `<tracking>_<rev>.html` (each specific base rev). Both redirect to the first chronologically received copy of the named revision. Modifier files (`<tracking>_<rev>+C1.html` etc.) remain reachable via the resolver but are not surfaced in the listing — they're return traffic, not primary documents. ACL is the only filter: the listing endpoint is gated by the contextPath's `.zddc` chain, and each entry is then filtered against the ACL of its resolved file's directory; per-target denials return 404 rather than 403 to avoid leaking that the tracking number exists in another subtree
- ACL is enforced via cascading `.zddc` YAML files; authentication is delegated to the upstream proxy via the `X-Auth-Request-Email` header (configurable with `ZDDC_EMAIL_HEADER`)
- `.zddc` schema also supports a top-level `admins:` glob list, peer to `acl.allow`/`acl.deny`. Honored **only** at the root `.zddc` (subdir `admins` entries are ignored to prevent privilege escalation via subtree write access). Drives the built-in debug dashboard at `/.admin/` (sub-routes: `/whoami`, `/config`, `/logs`); non-admin requests get 404 so the page is invisible. See `zddc/README.md` § "Admin Debug Page".
- **Reserved entry prefixes** under `ZDDC_ROOT`: `.`-prefixed entries are excluded from listings AND 404 on direct fetch (only `.archive` and `.admin` are exempt) — for invisible side-state like dev-shell home dirs. `_`-prefixed entries are excluded from listings only — for operator scaffolding like the `_template/` directory created by the self-contained install snippet, still reachable by direct URL. Drop side-state under `_` if it should be linkable; under `.` if it should be unreachable.
