ZDDC 1bd73b1512 feat(browse): CodeMirror for all editable text files; drop the .zddc form; tidy access dialog 
- Editor routing: the CodeMirror editor is now the general editor for editable
  text files that aren't markdown — yaml/.zddc keep schema lint + completion +
  hover; txt/csv/tsv/json/xml/html/css/js/log/ini/conf/… open as a plaintext
  code editor (line numbers, find, save) instead of a read-only <pre>. HTML now
  edits its source (was an iframe render); PDF stays an iframe. Mode is yaml-only
  (the vendored CM mode); others plaintext, lint gutter suppressed.
- Abandon the .zddc schema FORM (preview-zddc-form.js deleted): .zddc opens in
  CodeMirror. Guided dialogs (Manage access, …) are the front door for common
  tasks; CodeMirror is the full/raw surface. One fewer half-baked middle layer.
- Manage Access dialog laid out cleanly: grid rows (who fills + shrinks, level
  sizes to content) so long emails/levels never overflow; short level labels
  with tooltips + a one-line legend; box-sizing fixed.

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.
