Reworks the browse menu/tree interaction into a declarative, contextually
honest model and moves view settings onto a toolbar — the menu is the UI to
the system, so it should be familiar, inviting, and only ever offer what
applies.
New declarative menu model (browse/js/menu-model.js):
- Every action is one descriptor with a TYPE predicate (appliesTo) and a
CAPABILITY predicate (enabled)+tooltip. Row/pane menus are projections over
it; separators are derived from group changes. Designed data-shaped so a
future server-sourced manifest (zddc.zip) can supply/extend it.
- Hybrid visibility: type-inapplicable actions are OMITTED (New folder on a
file, Expand on a file); permission/role/tier-gated actions are SHOWN
DISABLED with a reason — so a lower tier sees what a higher role unlocks.
- Roles are NOT hardcoded: ordinary actions gate on the verbs the server
returns (node.verbs / path_verbs), so any operator-defined role works. Only
the two intrinsically-special tiers are recognised by name — site admin
(is_super_admin) and project/subtree admin (path_is_admin), surfaced as the
"Edit access rules…" item; both come from the existing /.profile/access.
- The headline fix: New folder / New markdown file no longer appear on file
rows (they target a folder or the current dir).
events.js: deletes the ~350-line inline buildTreeRowMenu/buildPaneMenu/
SORT_BY_ITEMS; opens menus via menuModel projections through one openRowMenuFor
/openPaneMenu path shared by right-click, the hover kebab, and the keyboard
menu key (ContextMenu / Shift+F10). Injects action impls via menuModel.configure
to avoid a circular dep. Prefetches the scope /.profile/access (memoised) on
load/rescope/refresh/popstate so menus never fetch at open time.
Discoverability + a11y: a per-row ⋯ kebab (tree.js + new icon-ellipsis sprite,
revealed on hover/selection/focus) opens the same menu; keyboard menu key
supported.
Toolbar: Sort + Show-hidden moved OUT of per-row right-click menus into the
tree-pane toolbar, plus New folder / New file buttons (act on the current dir,
greyed with a reason when create access is lacking). Help copy updated.
Icons: dropped the 3 stray emoji from menu items (consistent, VS Code/Finder
style); only new sprite is the kebab's icon-ellipsis.
Tests: +5 browse specs (file row omits New-folder; folder row shows it; a
read-only server node greys Rename with a "write access" tooltip via a pure
menuModel unit; toolbar Sort/Show-hidden drive state + New buttons present;
kebab and Shift+F10 both open the menu). All 23 browse+conflict+diff green.
