Major upgrade to the browse tool's UX, plus a few shared modules other tools can adopt. User-facing: - Right-click context menu on tree rows AND empty pane space. Traditional file-manager grouping (Open / Download / New / Rename-Delete / Copy / Tree ops / View). Items stay visible but disabled when not applicable so muscle memory carries. Generic shared/context-menu.js framework supports normal items, toggles, submenus, separators, danger styling. - YAML editor for .yaml / .yml / .zddc files (CodeMirror 5 vendored at shared/vendor/codemirror-yaml.min.*). js-yaml lint on every change for parse errors. For .zddc cascade files, an additional schema-aware lint pass flags unknown keys, bad enum values, and wrong types. - Per-row drag-drop upload using webkitGetAsEntry (folder uploads work recursively). Per-row drop indicator; doc-level overlay still fires for blank-space drops at drop_target scopes. - New folder / New markdown file context-menu items (server mode). Rename + Delete with native confirm() dialog. File-API helpers removeNode / renameNode use the existing PUT/POST/DELETE endpoints. - Hover info card with the row's full metadata (ZDDC fields + filesystem info + path/URL). Interactive — mouse into it, drag-select text, Ctrl/Cmd-C or right-click → Copy. 200ms grace before dismiss. - Autofilter input at the top of the tree pane. Same grammar as archive's column filters (zddc.filter.parse / matches). Filters files; folders without matches collapse out. Non-matching folders force-open visually when descendants match, without mutating the user's actual expand state. - Two-line ZDDC label: title-first, tracking/rev/status as monospace meta below. Icon column anchors to the title line. Chevron is a Lucide outline `chevron-right` SVG, rotated 90° on `.expanded`. - File-type Lucide icon sprite (shared/icons.js — 16 outline glyphs, ~5 KB). PDF / Word / Spreadsheet / Slides / Image / Video / Audio / CAD / Web / Config / Code / Archive get distinct icons; folders tinted with --primary. - Header wraps gracefully at narrow viewports (shared/base.css flex-wrap + title min-width:0 ellipsis). Body becomes flex column in browse so a wrapping header doesn't break #appMain height. - Markdown editor opens in WYSIWYG mode by default. YAML front-matter + TOC sidebar reworked: flexbox layout (single visible resizer between FM and TOC), both bodies overflow:auto for X+Y scrollbars. - `?file=<path>` deep links open browse pre-positioned at a specific file. Multi-segment paths walk into subdirectories on the way. Auto-flips Show hidden when a segment is dot/underscore-prefixed. - Refresh + show-hidden toggle preserve expansion / selection / preview pinning. Path-keyed snapshot survives a re-fetched listing. - "Add Local Directory" → "Use Local Directory" across the four tools that have it (browse, archive, classifier, +transmittal comment).

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. |
| 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 and an in-place markdown editor (YAML front matter, outline, server-side DOCX/HTML/PDF download); 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. Which tool a directory URL serves is driven by the .zddc cascade: a baked-in defaults.zddc.yaml (dump it with zddc-server show-defaults) declares, per folder, default_tool (the no-slash form — archive under archive/, transmittal under staging/, browse under working/+reviewing/ (browse hosts the in-place markdown editor), classifier under incoming/, tables at archive/<party>/mdl, landing at root) and dir_tool (the trailing-slash form; defaults to browse); operators override at any level. A .zip file is also a navigable directory (GET …/Foo.zip/), and GET /dir/?zip=1 streams an ACL-filtered zip of a subtree. Override the tool source per-directory by writing an apps: entry in any .zddc file (channel/version/URL/path) — fetched once and cached in <ZDDC_ROOT>/_app/ — or drop a real .html file at any path.
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/.
