ZDDC b2c16063c4 refactor(browse): remove dead code, document state shape 
Pure cleanup, no behavior change:

- tree.js: drop the unused setSort() method (only setSortExplicit is wired,
  via the toolbar dropdown) and its doubly-stale comment (claimed there was
  no sort UI — there is).
- app.js: remove the augmentRoot/passThroughEntries identity stub. It was a
  leftover from when browse merged virtual canonical folders client-side;
  zddc-server emits them now and nothing reads window.app.modules.augmentRoot.
- loader.js: splitExt now delegates to window.zddc.splitExtension (identical
  behavior — lowercased, dotfile/trailing-dot → '') per the CLAUDE.md rule
  that extension handling goes through window.zddc; drop the unused export.
- upload.js: remove the dead `else if (refreshUrl)` comment-only branch (and
  the unused refreshUrl var) — refreshListing is always present since it was
  exported.
- init.js: declare scopeCanonicalFolder, scopeOnPlanReview, and showHidden in
  the state initializer. They were read/written across modules but never
  listed in the canonical state shape (implicit undefined).

All 6 browse Playwright specs pass.

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.
