The /<project> landing page was server-rendered via
internal/handler/projecthandler.go's html/template — an inconsistency
against the project's "every tool is a single-file HTML" convention.
Convert it to a mode of the existing landing/ tool: same bundle now
serves both / (project picker) and /<project> (project workspace).
Mechanics:
- landing/template.html: pickerView (existing markup) + projectView
(new: stage cards, browse-all, MDL section, party-list slot).
Mode toggles by adding/removing .hidden on the two containers.
- landing/js/landing.js: detectMode() reads location.pathname;
renderProjectMode() populates stage hrefs from the project segment
and fetches /<project>/archive/?json=1 for the party list. init()
forks based on mode; picker init was extracted to initPicker().
Existing public API + behaviour unchanged for picker mode.
- landing/css/landing.css: appended ~115 lines for the project view
(.stages grid, .stage-card hover, .party-list, MDL formatting).
- cmd/zddc-server/main.go: dispatcher's IsProjectRootURL fork now
calls appsSrv.Serve(w, r, "landing", chain, absPath) rather than
the deleted ServeProjectLanding handler.
- internal/handler/projecthandler.go: trimmed to just the
IsProjectRootURL predicate (the dispatcher still needs it for
routing). Template + render code (~220 lines) deleted.
Net effect: same UI as before — same logo wrapping (now via
shared/logo.js, no longer a hand-rolled inline anchor), same stage
cards, same MDL instructions with party links — but the page is now a
single-file SPA that themes like the rest, follows the same logo and
stage-strip conventions, and could in principle be downloaded and
served standalone.
Tests:
- 3 new tests/landing.spec.js cases: detectMode exposure, project
workspace renders at /<project> with correct stage hrefs + title,
party listing populates from JSON fetch and filters dot-prefixed
entries.
- The dispatcher test for /Project no-slash still asserts 200 +
no-redirect; the served body is now landing.html instead of the
server-rendered template, but both pass the assertion.
LOC: roughly net-neutral. -220 in projecthandler.go, +115 in
landing.css, +130 in landing.js, +60 in template.html.

Zero Day Document Control (ZDDC)
The Universal Distributed Filing Cabinet
ZDDC is an information management convention plus a small set of single-file HTML tools. Every deliverable's filename encodes its tracking number, revision, status, and title; every transmittal folder is date-prefixed and self-describing. A plain shared folder becomes a fully searchable, auditable archive — no server, no database, no software required to read it.
The name "Zero Day Document Control" comes from the convention itself — adopt it on day zero of a project, with no setup time. The tools are optional interfaces around the structure; the structure works without them.
For end users: https://zddc.varasys.io/ introduces the project, links to all tool channels (stable / beta / alpha), and prints copy-paste shell snippets to install on a self-hosted deployment.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| Archive Browser | Browse, search, and filter a project archive folder. Group by transmittal, export selections as ZIP. |
| Transmittal Creator | Self-contained HTML transmittal records with SHA-256 checksums and optional digital signatures. |
| Document Classifier | Spreadsheet-like bulk-renamer that copy/pastes with Excel and writes back to disk. |
| Markdown Editor | Browser-based markdown editor with YAML front matter, TOC, and direct local file access. |
| Form Renderer | Schema-driven *.form.yaml editor — every form spec auto-mounts an editable form at <name>.form.html. |
| Tables | Sortable, filterable, in-place-editable grid view over a directory of YAML rows; click a row → edit in the form renderer. Auto-mounts on any directory containing a table.yaml. |
| Browse | File-tree navigator with previews; the everywhere-available companion to the Archive Browser when you want plain folder navigation rather than tracking-number aggregation. |
| Landing | The project picker served at the deployment root of a zddc-server. |
Each tool is published in three channels (stable, beta, alpha) as static files served from https://zddc.varasys.io/releases/. Local use: download a .html file from releases/ and open it in a browser. Server use: run zddc-server — the current-stable build of every tool is baked into the binary at compile time, so a fresh deployment Just Works with zero config. Tools auto-appear at folder-name-driven paths (archive everywhere; classifier in Incoming/Working/Staging; mdedit in Working; transmittal in Staging). Override per-directory by writing an apps: entry in any .zddc file (channel/version/URL/path). URL overrides are fetched once and cached in <ZDDC_ROOT>/_app/; drop a real .html file at any path to override entirely.
File-naming convention
The full specification — filename format, tracking numbers, revision rules, status codes, folder naming, and the transmittal workflow — lives at https://zddc.varasys.io/reference.html.

Build & develop
git clone https://codeberg.org/VARASYS/ZDDC.git && cd ZDDC
./build # dev build of every tool (writes to dist/ only)
sh archive/build.sh # iterate on one HTML tool
./build alpha # lockstep alpha cut for all nine artifacts
./build beta # lockstep beta cut
./build release # lockstep stable, coordinated next version
./build release 1.2.0 # lockstep stable at explicit version
npm install && npx playwright install chromium && npm test # tests
./dev-server start # cache-busting HTTP on :8000
Authoritative build/release docs are in AGENTS.md. Architecture notes (single-file rationale, JS module pattern, security model) are in ARCHITECTURE.md. zddc-server (optional Go HTTP server with ACL and a virtual archive index) is in zddc/README.md. Example Helm charts for deploying zddc-server (production + dev) are under helm/.
