ZDDC c718334d25 fix(browse,classifier): backdrop dismiss no longer fires on a drag out of an input
Selecting text in a dialog input by click-dragging and releasing the mouse
outside the dialog closed it: the browser fires a `click` whose target is the
backdrop (mousedown was inside, mouseup outside), and the dismiss handler keyed
solely on `e.target === backdrop`.

Guard every backdrop click-to-close with a mousedown flag — close only when the
press ALSO started on the backdrop (a genuine backdrop click), not a drag that
began inside the dialog. Applied to the browse New file/folder party picker (the
reported case) and the other browse create dialogs (create/accept-transmittal,
stage), plus the classifier dialogs that share the pattern (copy chooser,
dir-picker, and the paste/match modal — whose textarea is a prime drag target).
The conflict/history dialogs already used mousedown and were unaffected.

Build + browse/classify/classifier suites green (80).

browse — directory listing tool

Generic file browser for any directory. Designed to work with ZDDC archives but useful for any folder. Single-file HTML, no install.

How it's used

Two modes, auto-detected at page load:

  1. Online (zddc-server backed). When this HTML is served by zddc-server at a folder URL — which it is by default for any directory under ZDDC_ROOT that doesn't have an index.html — the JS queries the same URL with Accept: application/json to load the directory's listing and renders it as a sortable, filterable table.

  2. Local (FileSystemAccessAPI). Click "Select Directory" in the header to pick any folder on your computer. Works in Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, etc.). No server required; the directory is read directly from disk.

What it does

  • Lists files and folders with name, size, type (extension), and modified date.
  • Click a folder to expand inline. Children load lazily on first expand.
  • Click a column header to sort by that column. Click again to reverse.
  • Type in the filter to narrow to entries whose name contains the substring.
  • Click any file to open it in a new tab — for server-backed pages, this routes through zddc-server's normal handler (so an .archive redirect, an apps cascade override, etc. all work as expected).

Design notes

  • No ZDDC-specific filtering. This tool is intentionally domain-agnostic. The companion archive tool layers ZDDC parsing (project / status / revision filters, tracking-number resolution) on top of the same listing API. Use archive when you want ZDDC semantics; use browse when you just want to see what's in a folder.
  • Default at directory URLs. zddc-server's directory.go serves the embedded browse.html bytes for any directory request with Accept: text/html and no index.html present. This means a user navigating to any folder under ZDDC_ROOT gets a usable browser without anyone having to drop a file into the archive.
  • Apps cascade override. Like every other ZDDC tool, the served browse.html can be overridden per-folder via a .zddc apps: entry. The default is the embedded copy from the binary; operators can pin a specific version or URL if they want.
