Adds a thin nav strip directly under the app-header showing the four
canonical lifecycle stages from the transmittal-workflow spec:
archive · working · staging · reviewing. Each is a link to that
stage's directory under the current project. Current stage is
highlighted (bold + primary color, aria-current="page"). Strip
mounts as a sibling of .app-header on DOMContentLoaded — no
template changes needed in any tool.
Render rules (shared/nav.js shouldRender):
- location.protocol must be http: or https: (file:// has no project
structure to navigate within)
- a project segment must be detectable as the first path segment
(when it isn't a tool HTML file like /index.html or
/archive.html?projects=A,B). Multi-project view at the deployment
root therefore shows no strip.
Stage URL targets:
- Archive → <project>/archive.html (project-root archive view)
- Working → <project>/working/ (directory listing — mdedit auto-served)
- Staging → <project>/staging/ (directory listing — transmittal auto-served)
- Reviewing → <project>/reviewing/ (directory listing)
Convention-driven, not probed: if a deployment doesn't have one of
these folders the link returns 404. Operators on non-standard layouts
can opt out by setting window.zddc.nav.disabled = true before
DOMContentLoaded.
This pairs with the previous landing-tool change (single-project
click → <project>/archive.html). Together they give the user
both URL-bar manipulation AND visible navigation across the four
canonical project stages.
Five Playwright tests in tests/nav.spec.js exercise:
- non-render at deployment root
- render + active stage on <project>/archive.html
- render + active stage deep inside <project>/working/foo/mdedit.html
- canonical link targets
- mount position is sibling of .app-header
