Add a virtual-URL alias so the existing form-based .zddc editor is reachable at the natural directory location (<dir>/.zddc.html) in addition to the legacy /.profile/zddc/edit?path=<dir> entry. Both flow through the same renderZddcEditor body — same template, same gate, same form-posts-to-/.profile/zddc semantics. Wiring: - IsZddcEditorRequest(urlPath) reports whether the URL ends with the .zddc.html leaf (case-fold not needed; .zddc is itself case- sensitive on disk). - ServeZddcEditorAtPath strips the leaf, resolves the parent dir, asserts the dir exists, gates on hasAnyAdminScope, calls the shared renderer. - The dispatcher routes IsZddcEditorRequest URLs BEFORE the dot- prefix segment guard (which would otherwise 404 the .zddc.html leaf). The route is method-gated GET-only; mutations still go through PUT/POST/DELETE on <dir>/.zddc via the file API. Permission model unchanged from the /.profile entry: hasAnyAdminScope gates visibility of the editor itself; CanEditZddc decides whether the form is interactive or read-only at the requested directory. Subtree admins can still inspect ancestor cascade ACLs (intended since the cascade is what determines their authority). Test (TestDispatchZddcEditorAtPath): root admin opens project / working/ / deployment-root editors; non-admin and anonymous both 404; missing directory 404; trailing-segment-after-leaf 404.

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 | Read-only grid view of a directory of YAML files with sort + filter; click row → edit in the form renderer. Declared per-directory in .zddc. |
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
sh build.sh # build all tools (writes to dist/ only)
sh archive/build.sh # build one tool
sh archive/build.sh --release # cut stable; auto-bumps patch from last tag
sh archive/build.sh --release 0.1.0 # explicit version
sh archive/build.sh --release alpha # cut alpha (mutable channel, no tag)
sh archive/build.sh --release beta # cut beta
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/.
