ZDDC cfb2fab401 fix(browse): editor lifecycle — dispose on switch, guard unsaved edits, kill leaks
The markdown/YAML preview editors were never disposed when switching to a
non-editor file: dispose() was only called from inside the same plugin's
render(), so md→PDF/image/YAML overwrote the pane via innerHTML and leaked
the Toast UI instance, its DOM, and document-level resizer drag listeners.
Unsaved edits were also discarded silently on any file switch (including
arrow-key auto-preview), and debounced change handlers could resolve after
an editor was disposed and write the wrong file's dirty/hash state.

preview.js now owns editor lifecycle centrally in renderInline:
- disposeEditors() up front before replacing the pane (fixes the leak for
  every md/yaml → anything switch).
- dirty guard: deliberate switches (click/Enter/menu) confirm before
  discarding; auto previews (keyboard cursor walking the tree, opts.auto)
  leave the dirty editor in place rather than nagging per keystroke;
  re-selecting the file already being edited is a no-op.
- a renderSeq token bails late-arriving loads so a slow file can't paint
  stale content into the pane after a newer selection.
- clearPreview() exposed and used by rescope (events.js) and popstate
  (app.js) so those resets dispose the editor instead of leaking it.
- beforeunload warns when an editor is dirty at page exit.

preview-markdown.js: per-mount AbortController wired into the resizer
document listeners so dispose() detaches them even mid-drag; debounced
change/save/convert handlers guard `currentInstance !== instance` so a
disposed editor's callbacks can't corrupt the active file; expose
isDirty()/currentNode().

preview-yaml.js: track dirty/node state, guard the change handler the same
way, expose dispose()/isDirty()/currentNode().

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.
