The is/in question, settled per user decision: they were exact
synonyms (feed's clause compiles is/is_not and in/not_in to the same
ANY), so the vocabulary collapses instead of being explained.
- Registry: feed's offered ops are in/isn't-in (+has/missing);
legacyFieldOps keeps is/is_not ACCEPTED at parse forever — every
stored tree and saved filter from before the collapse parses and
evaluates unchanged. Library keeps is/isn't (its only names);
collection's genuinely distinct operators are untouched.
- Client: id-kind cells are uniform — every operator on an id field
accepts a set, so all id cells say "pick one or more" and accumulate
picks. The per-operator placeholder/pick branching is gone (it also
never fired: the registry types is as Values:"many").
- The drawer-refresh id fix rides along: hydrateFromForm now calls
resolveIdLabels, so a page refresh with an active saved filter
resolves stored ids to names in the bookshelf drawer (the collection
rules page already did at init).
Pins: feed payload omits the synonyms while legacy feed is/is_not
trees parse (Go unit); uniform accumulate + placeholder (vitest);
menu-open regression and hydrate-resolution pins kept. Web 183/183;
services, filter + episode-tree + search/collections contract slices
green (full suite skipped per user — vocabulary + UI-layer change,
engine paths pinned by the targeted slices).
The detail header's listening-order select persisted fine and the
reader chain honored it, but the page's card list never applied
chain_order (it kept the composed query's title order) — so flipping
the select changed nothing visible, and Play as Sequence launches from
the FIRST CARD ON THE PAGE, making the played start (and the perceived
order) disagree with the curated setting (2026-11-01 user report on
the smart podcast page).
- Smart episode collections: the page's match list re-orders through
OrderEpisodeMedia (the same OrderEpisodes comparator the sequence
producer uses — §10 R2's single source of order truth) before card
building. Books-scope matches keep title order.
- Static episode playlists: the sequence now honors the curated order
too — native keeps the manual position order (SQL), reverse flips
it, oldest/newest re-key on publication date with feed position as
tiebreak. Previously statics ignored chain_order entirely while the
select rendered on their pages.
Pins: native page order (feed positions) and the reverse flip
re-ordering the SSR cards, asserted in the curated-order subtest
alongside the existing reader-chain pins. Podcast/playlist/audiobook/
RLS/dashboard/contract slices green.
Regression from the id-label resolution (09f8f087): opening an id-kind
value menu carried the STORED ids as the typed filter, and the new
id-exact-match narrowed the menu to exactly the already-picked rows —
nothing else was visible, so "can't add more than one" (and clicking
the lone visible row unpicked it). The ids now ride as the typed
lookup ONLY in quiet mode (label resolution); a real menu open browses
(blank) or filters by the typed NAME draft.
The multi-value affordance is now ARITY-AWARE, per user request: the
op decides how many values the cell takes, and both the hint and the
pick behavior follow it — "in" says "pick one or more" and toggles
ids into the comma list; "is" says "pick one" and REPLACES the value.
Changing the operator updates the hint in place.
Pins: menu-open after a pick must not carry the stored ids (the
regression), one-arity pick replaces instead of toggling, and the
placeholder follows the op's arity. 38 filter-builder vitest cases;
web suite 183/183; container filter + episode-tree slices green.
Comma-joined multi-picks matched ZERO: clauseFeed/clauseLibrary/
clauseCollection parsed each rule value as ONE uuid, but the builder's
pick loop stores several picks as a single comma-joined value
(["id1,id2"]) — uuid.Parse failed on the joined string, the id list
came back empty, and "feeds in [A, B]" matched no episodes (one pick
worked, which is why the briefing recipe survived). parseUUIDValues
now splits every value on commas (trimming) before parsing, accepting
both the builder's joined shape and hand-written separate elements —
same leniency the suggest-side id lookup already has.
The multi-value cells now say so: id-kind value inputs get the
placeholder "pick one or more" (the only boxes on the page that accept
several values; every other cell replaces its value).
Pins: comma_joined_multi_feed_matches_both — a tree collection built
with the exact comma-joined wire the client sends, asserting BOTH
feeds' episodes match. Filter-builder vitest 35/35, container filter +
episode-tree slices green.
The library cell reverted to the raw uuid after Apply: the apply flow
reloads the page, the SSR-preloaded tree re-ingests, and idLabels —
populated only by suggestion PICKS — starts empty, so valueCellText
falls back to the id. Same on any fresh load of a stored id-rule.
Two halves:
- Server: the id-source suggest query's typed filter (library/
collection/added_by/feed) now also exact-matches a comma-separated
ID list alongside the name ILIKE — so a suggest call with the stored
ids returns their labeled rows. No new endpoint; the menu and the
resolver share one surface.
- Client: fetchSuggestions gains a QUIET mode (fills idLabels, touches
no menu state), id rows fall back to their stored ids as the typed
lookup when no draft is present, and init() calls resolveIdLabels()
after tree ingest — one quiet fetch per id-kind rule resolves every
stored id to its name from the first paint after reload.
Pins: the Go side (suggest with a library's UUID returns the row with
the library NAME as display), the client side (resolveIdLabels fills
labels, the cell renders the name, no menu opens). 35 filter-builder
vitest cases green; container filter slice green.
The previous fix was too blunt: under OR it sent NO constraint tree at
all, so "library = ebooks" stopped narrowing the author menu the
moment an OR-connected author rule appeared. The user spec is subtler:
library = ebooks AND (author = Lewis Carroll OR author = ?)
→ the menu shows EBOOK authors, with Lewis Carroll OFF the list.
suggestTree now walks root → edited rule and builds one conjunctive
chain:
- ALL-group siblings stay (AND narrows: the ebook scope persists);
- ANY-group siblings drop — they are independent alternatives under
OR and must not narrow;
- EXCEPT a same-field ANY sibling, whose picked values NEGATE into
the chain (contains → not_contains, is → is_not, in → not_in): the
picked value leaves the menu, everything else in scope stays;
- an ALREADY-NEGATED sibling picks nothing to take off, so it drops
rather than flipping positive (a positive flip would narrow);
- a field without a negation twin falls back to dropping;
- incomplete rules never constrain (not filters yet), and the edited
rule itself never constrains its own menu.
Pins: the user's exact tree (ebook scope kept + Lewis Carroll negated
off), the root-OR variant (different-field sibling drops, same-field
negates), the twinless fallback, plus the existing AND/OR cases —
34 filter-builder vitest cases green, container filter slice green
(TestFilterSuggestionsUnderRules unaffected: the server contract is
unchanged, only which qf the client composes).
Pre-existing format drift in seven web/src files (blank-line and
indent normalization by vp fmt) plus templ generate normalization
across the generated _templ.go files; both swept up while committing
the filter-builder fix. No behavior changes.
Two user-reported builder defects:
1. Id-kind value cells (library/collection/feed/added_by) rendered the
stored UUIDs in the input box. The menu offered names (s.display)
and picking stored the id correctly — but the cell bound
rule.values.join(',') raw. The cell now renders through
valueCellText: idLabels give the NAMES; typing drafts a name filter
in idDrafts (the stored values stay ids — the clause matches ids —
and are updated only by picking). Text/number/days cells are
unchanged.
2. The value menu ignored the connective: fetchSuggestions always sent
the sibling rules as the qf constraint, so with "Author contains
Lewis Carroll" present, flipping to OR still starved the author
menu down to Lewis Carroll. Under OR the siblings are independent
alternatives — a new rule's candidates must not be narrowed by
them. pathUnderAll now checks the edited rule's group path: under
AND all the way up, siblings constrain as before (helpful
narrowing); under any OR on the path, NO tree rides and the menu
browses the whole scope.
Server contract unchanged — the suggest endpoint already treats a
missing qf as an unconstrained browse; the fix is client-side
mode-awareness. Pins: 6 new vitest cases (AND sends siblings, OR sends
none, id label display, draft typing never touches stored ids, pick
toggles + relabels, text passthrough).
Archaeology, prompted by the user asking when it broke: the builder's
save NEVER worked. The page was born (2026-02-19, a92bf99a) posting
auto_assign_rules as a JSON-encoded STRING into an endpoint that has
bound []Rule since its creation (2026-01-31, 6495cc2c), plus fields
(manual_book_ids, match_type, library_id, show_on_dashboard) the
endpoint never accepted. The preview button hit a real endpoint, so
the page looked alive while Save always failed at request binding.
Verified live before this change: the page's exact payload 400'd
"invalid request" against the unmodified server.
The fix adapts the builder's payload at write time — the legacy rules
vocabulary converts to a filter tree (RulesToFilterTree restored from
the retirement commit as the single write path, unit test restored
with it):
- match_type seeds the converted tree's root mode (any default).
- manual_book_ids attach to the created collection after create
(unparsable ids skipped — the AddBooks leniency).
- show_on_dashboard persists (new create field).
- Converted trees validate under ParseFilterTree: an unhonorable rule
is a 400 at write naming the problem, never a stored 500 at render.
Dashboard sections: smart user sections now evaluate their tree LIVE —
GetUserCollectionItems merges stored membership with the composed
engine's matches (deduped, library-scoped, capped at the section
limit). This exposed a REAL production wiring bug: every production
NewDashboardService call omitted the search service, so tree
evaluation through the dashboard could never have worked (the test
harness wired it correctly — the gap was production-only and latent,
because nothing in the dashboard evaluated trees before this
migration). The dashboard handler and both inline sites now receive
the search service, and evaluation failures log instead of silently
emptying a section.
Supersedes the same-day loud-400 stance for the builder's payload
(contract_pins migration entry); custom-section-builder.md documents
the save contract; the create_collection API doc gains the adapted
fields. New TestCustomSectionBuilderSave/BadRule pin the payload →
tree → dashboard-render path end to end. Full container suite green
(155s).
The pre-tree rules machinery is deleted: no row ever carried a rules
array or a non-default match mode (verified in the dev DB), the web
never read the envelope keys, and the Android app consumes none of it.
Dead code gets no documentation.
Removed:
- PUT /api/collections/:id/match-mode — endpoint, route, and the
UpdateCollectionMatchMode query. The tree's root mode owns any|all.
- auto_assign_rules / rule_match_mode from every envelope
(create/list/detail/update), from the create/update request shapes,
and from the schema: both columns DROPPED (schema.sql carries
idempotent DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS heals for existing DBs; sqlc
regenerated).
- The rules CRUD service layer (AddRule/SetRuleEnabled/RemoveRule +
validateRule + UpdateCollectionRulesJSON), ParseRules /
EnabledRules / IsSmartCollection, RulesToFilterTree (+ the SSR
preload branch), the legacy branch of EvaluateSmartMembership, and
SmartEvalOptions.MatchMode. IsCollectionSmart = tree presence;
create-path isSmart = collection_type=smart OR a filter_tree.
Kept (live consumers): POST /api/collections/preview still evaluates
rules payloads in memory (the custom-section builder's preview), and
include_auto stays on the list (the Android app sends it).
The custom-section builder's SAVE was already broken — its
stringified auto_assign_rules payload failed request binding (probed
live: 400 invalid request). Create now rejects that payload loudly
with a 400 naming the retirement, instead of silently creating a
hollow static section; custom-section-builder.md carries the flag.
The builder's tree migration remains the flagged follow-up.
Test-side (asymmetry rule — deleted behavior, deleted tests):
TestPodcastSmartCollections rewritten onto trees (mode lives in the
tree root), match-mode subtests and tree_wins_over_legacy_rules
deleted, TestRulesToFilterTree deleted, contract-pin envelope keys
retracted per the contract_pins 2026-10-31 retirement entry. Mirrors
hand-synced: openapi.yaml, bruno create/update, docs/api/*.md,
docs/schema.go, api.d.ts. Full container suite green (155s).
collections + collection_items join the RLS-governed tables, same
doctrine as the media_items family lens (2026-10-29). Policies route
through two PURE predicate functions (app_can_read_collection /
app_can_write_collection) that never query collections — no policy
recursion under FORCE RLS — so a future sharing model is one EXISTS
branch inside the functions, not a schema re-touch. Reads: owner or
admin; writes: owner, admin escape for SYSTEM collections only.
Why: the write path had no app-level ownership gate on Update/Delete/
AddBooks — any authenticated user could mutate another user's
collection by id. The DB is now the enforcement of record; existing
app-level gates (match-mode, reorder, view-settings) stay as
defense-in-depth.
Behavior changes (contract_pins 2026-10-31):
- cross-user GET detail: 200 -> 404 (row invisible)
- cross-user PUT update: silent success -> 404 (ErrNoRows mapping;
service wrap fixed %v -> %w so errors.Is sees pgx.ErrNoRows)
- cross-user POST books: silent success -> 404
- cross-user DELETE: 204, now a true DB no-op
- anonymous sees nothing; admin persona unchanged
Bootstrap: registration seeds system collections BEFORE the JWT
exists — CreateDefaultCollectionsForUser declares the new user's
identity (rls.WithUser), the same fix mirrored in the test harness
(createDefaultCollectionsForUser owner-scoped; collection sweeps run
under the owner's identity).
Tests: new TestCollectionsRLS pins the cross-user matrix end-to-end
(404 detail/update/add/view-settings, 204 no-op delete, admin escape,
owner positive control, registration seeding under RLS). Harness
fixture writes to non-system collections now run as the row's OWNER
(scopeExecAs/ownerSeedCtx) — the admin write-escape covers system
rows only, and bare-ctx pool reads of collections see nothing.
Filter/playlist/audiobook/scan-state fixtures converted. Full
container suite green (159s).
THE CLASS: the /api JWT middleware's TokenLookup is
"cookie:token,header:Authorization:Bearer" — the token cookie always
rides same-origin fetches, so a signed-in user never needs the
localStorage bearer. But a dozen call sites gated their fetch on
`localStorage.getItem("token")` and early-returned when absent. The
global 401 interceptor CLEARS that localStorage entry on any session
rotation/blip — after which every gated write silently did nothing:
theme changes reverted on reload (the reported "can no longer change
themes", on top of the interpolation bug d5dbaa48 fixed), chain-order
selects, collection deletion, Add-to-collection submits, filter
save/load/delete, conflict actions, linking actions, stats charts,
tag suggestions, device management, admin scanner actions — all dead
for perfectly authenticated cookie users.
Fix: storage.ts exports authHeaders() (bearer when present, cookie
carries otherwise) and every gate/header site now uses it — theme.ts,
collections.ts (htmx auth, doRemoveBook/doBulkRemove, setChainOrder),
bookPicker submit, filter_builder suggestions + match count,
collection-rules apply hook, bookshelf save/load/delete filter,
conflicts x4, linking x3, admin scanner actions + polls (requireToken
removed — its "Session expired" toast fired for cookie users too),
dashboard preferences/sections, custom-section-builder, header
scanner poll, stats x3, tag suggestions, profile delete-account
(which also wrongly redirected cookie users to /login), and
device-management x4. Reads keep their graceful-empty behavior; the
bearers still ride along when present.
Pinned: the knob-matrix theme spec now REMOVES localStorage.token and
asserts the theme PUT still fires (cookie-only) and the class flips —
the exact strand that started this.
Found by noticing the panel browser's Nord click switched the class
but produced no PUT: the persistence half was gated on a token the
401 interceptor had cleared.
The empty-tree grammar relaxation (create-modal episodes seed) must not
leak into the search deep-link contract: qf={"mode":"all","children":[]}
as a QUERY would silently mean "match everything". The seed's meaning —
a rules-less collection matching nothing — lives in the stored tree and
its composers; the query entry point now rejects a rule-less tree
explicitly, preserving the pinned 400 that TestFilterQFValidationAndPrecedence
guards (the test caught the leak during this round's full-suite run).
Six specs driving the user-reported controls the way a human does,
encoding the sweep rules COVERAGE.md now states: menus/modals assert
VISIBILITY (never DOM text — hidden menus' text is why the 2026-10-30
panel sweep certified dead controls), geometry asserts the z-ladder
via elementFromPoint and viewport containment via boundingBox, every
click must produce an observable outcome (PUT fired, class flipped,
chip text swapped) and zero new console problems — the silent
CSP-throw family (theme buttons, connective chip, invisible op menu)
now fails a test instead of surviving to a user's mouse.
Covers: theme picker (interpolation regression from eb57b720),
pencil-glyph vs card-body contract, builder field menu / op menu
(full non-empty vocabulary) / connective both directions, the
Smart→Episodes create-modal seed, the picker overlay's ladder and
height, and the chain-order select's persistence round-trip.
Fixtures self-create/self-delete under test-prefixed names; localStorage
token + selectedLibrary=__all__ are seeded because the API login
establishes only the cookie; run the folder with --workers=1 (the login
route rate-limits and all suites share testuser — a parallel worker's
login revokes another's mid-run).
Three mirrors had drifted:
- The rules-endpoint retirement (4f71eda6) deleted the routes but not
their mirrors: removed docs/developer/api/collections/
{add_auto_assign_rule,remove_auto_assign_rule,test_rule,update_rule}
.md + their bruno twins, and pruned /api/collections/test-rules,
/{id}/rules, /{id}/rules/{ruleId} from the generated openapi spec
(hand-edited — regenerating with -update would wipe hand-authored
bruno suites that predate the docs mirrors).
- New endpoint PUT /api/collections/:id/view-settings gets a doc page
+ schema-registry entry + bruno mirror (repo convention: the route
and its docs land together).
- 54 pre-existing TestDocsMatchRoutes failures: the media-item
endpoints emit the 16 episode/download fields (source_feed_id,
feed_position, download_state, enclosure_url, hosts/guests, …) and
libraries emit purpose/allow_member_feeds, but the doc examples
were never extended — the package only runs on the host, so the
container suite never caught it. Examples now carry every key the
handlers emit; internal/docs is fully green.
Round-4 console hygiene: fast navigation rejects with "AbortError:
Transition was skipped" (the browser's MPA view transitions —
@view-transition navigation:auto — when a navigation interrupts a
running crossfade) and Alpine's x-transition hide rejects with
{isFromCancelledTransition: true} when a re-show supersedes an
out-phase. Both are races the user cannot lose anything in, but they
print console errors on every quick click — and the knob matrix's
zero-console-error tripwire (the thing that catches silent CSP death)
depends on a clean console. A narrow global gate swallows exactly
these two shapes; every other rejection still reports.
PUT /api/collections/:id/view-settings writes the row; it now demands
UserOwnsCollection like its sibling config mutations (SetMatchMode,
ReorderItems) — otherwise any signed-in user could flip another
user's curated listening order. Discovered while documenting the
endpoint: the sibling pattern exists precisely because the main
PUT/DELETE routes lack it (their gap is noted for follow-up, not
expanded here).
closeCollectionModal picked document.querySelector(".fixed.inset-0") —
the FIRST overlay in DOM order, which is the sitewide #confirm-modal
that the header renders (hidden, display:none, but present). The real
create/edit modal stayed open: every Close and Cancel click on the
collection modals did nothing. Caught by the knob-matrix spec — the
pencil-glyph case clicked Close and the Edit modal persisted.
The buttons now pass $el and the overlay OWNING the button is closed
(closest(".fixed.inset-0")), falling back to #modal-container's child
for non-Alpine callers. Both the collection create/edit modal and the
restore-system modal take the argument.
The debug print served its purpose: the stale-binary native-order render
was an artifact of an incomplete rebuild, not code. Fresh container
resolves view_settings.chain_order and the chain plays in the curated
order (newest-first verified on a 23-episode feed with a date tie at the
tail, handled by the position tie-break).
The scope door's first live test showed the episodes editor leading its
field menu with People (Author/Narrator/Contributor) and Publishing —
book-only fields that can never match an episode row — while the fields
the scope exists for (Feed, Downloaded, Played) sat below the fold.
Root cause: the registry's book fields carry no Scopes restriction
(nil = all scopes), a leftover from before the episode fields existed.
35 unambiguous book-only fields (people, publishing metadata, topics,
series/comics, identifiers, cover, reading-specific statuses) are now
tagged Scopes:books. Title, description, published dates, language,
file facts, explicit, the my-reading group (listening progress is
real), and collection stay dual-scope. Parse continues to accept the
hidden fields everywhere (their composed clauses simply match nothing
on episode rows) — this governs the AUTHORING surface, not the
grammar.
TestFilterParseValidation's empty-root rejection updated to the new
contract (empty root legal — the seed; nested empty groups still
invalid), and TestEpisodesScopeHidesBookOnlyFields pins both scopes'
vocabulary.
The first real-browser create of an Episodes-scope collection failed
with "invalid request": the modal's hx-post submits
application/x-www-form-urlencoded, and the form value for filter_tree
had to bind into CreateCollectionRequest.FilterTree (any) — echo's
form binder errors on any-typed fields instead of setting the string,
so every form carrying a tree 400'd before validation even ran. JSON
bodies (the save-filter bridge, the editor's Apply) were unaffected,
which is why no API-level or Go test caught it: only a browser posting
the real form shape exercised the transport.
Fix: the form variant binds a dedicated string field
(FilterTreeForm, form:"filter_tree") on both request structs while
FilterTree keeps the JSON tag; resolveTreePayload picks whichever
transport arrived and both ride the same parseRequestFilterTree
validation. Pinned by TestEpisodeCollectionsFormSeedCreate (form-encoded
seed → 201 → scope round-trips).
"Newest episodes from my selected podcasts" is now buildable in the UI,
end to end — the user could not find ANY podcast-related filter surface
because none existed: the New Collection modal could only create
book-scope smart collections, and the engine's episodes scope (item 3.1)
had no authoring door.
The scope door:
- The create modal's Smart card gains a Rules-scope segmented control
(📚 Books / 🎧 Podcast episodes); the copy no longer claims smart
means "match books by rules". Choosing Episodes seeds an EMPTY
episodes tree ({"scope":"episodes","mode":"all","children":[]}) so the
collection is born episode-scoped: the editor opens with the episode
vocabulary (feed/downloaded/played/published date) and membership
runs the episode engine from the first rule.
- ParseFilterTree now accepts an EMPTY ROOT (nested empty groups stay
invalid) — the seed's legal shape. The root arrives at depth 1 by
call convention, hence the depth>1 exemption.
- The composers define the empty-tree semantics: zero children matches
NOTHING (ComposedLiveMedia/ComposedCount guards), mirroring
EvaluateSmartCollection's zero-enabled-rules convention. Without the
guard the composed query degrades to the bare scope head and a fresh
collection would swallow every episode in scope — pinned by
TestEpisodeCollectionsEmptySeedMatchesNothing (envelope book_count 0)
and TestEmptyRootTreeSeedsEpisodesScope.
The curated chain order (plan §10 R2, user need: the briefing plays
NEWEST-first):
- view_settings.chain_order ("native"/"newest"/"oldest"/"reverse")
stored on the collection — curated content, not a player-side knob.
- PUT /api/collections/:id/view-settings merges the key into the
stored JSONB (a blind write would clobber the playlist toggles).
- buildSmartCollectionSequenceContext routes OrderEpisodes through
handlers.CollectionChainOrder; the detail header's Play-as-Sequence
gains the order select next to it (PlayCollectionButton), which
PUTs and reloads. Pinned by chain_follows_the_curated_order
(reverse flips the chain indexes and hops).
Caught by the new test, a latent clobber fixed: UpdateCollection
treated a NIL view_settings payload as "write NULL" — any edit that
carried no settings dropped every stored key (chain_order, playlist
toggles from API clients, imported provenance). Nil now means
untouched, the same convention filterTree already had.
Composer guards also cover ComposedCount, so the builder's live count
reads the same semantics. Tests: collectionChainOrder unit matrix,
empty-root parse unit pin, two integration pins (seed matches nothing;
curated order drives the chain and survives whole-map edits).
Every one of these was silent at the code level and loud in a real
browser; each fix carries its own tripwire (render pin, unit pin, or
CSP-safe rewrite) so the class cannot quietly return.
1. Theme picker dead since the CSP migration (eb57b720): the Appearance
panel's theme buttons emitted `@click="selectTheme(opt.Name)"` as
LITERAL text (templ gotcha #1 — quoted attribute values are never
interpolated; `opt` is a Go loop var), so Alpine threw "Undefined
variable: opt" on every click and no PUT /api/auth/theme ever fired.
The wood-paneling sibling always used the correct expression form,
which is why the panel half-worked. Fixed to the interpolated form;
TestThemePickerHandlersAreInterpolated pins that real theme names
reach the HTML and the raw identifier never does.
2. Filter-builder op dropdown "does nothing": the field ingest
hardcoded `ops: []` into every field's meta while only mirroring the
ops into the global label registry — opsFor() returned [] for EVERY
field, so the op menu rendered zero items: an invisible menu, no
console error (user tried author/publisher/title/subtitle, all
equally dead). FieldMeta.ops is now the wire's op objects, opsFor()
is a standalone exported helper, and opsForField unit tests pin the
round-trip. Verified live: the field menu opens/closes while the op
menu stayed shut, both with identical wiring — the difference was
the data, not the wiring.
3. AND/OR connective chip dead: the chip carried an `if` STATEMENT in
the Alpine attribute (`@click="if (row.chipClickable) ..."`) which
the CSP build's evaluator rejects as a statement — the whole
expression silently never ran. Moved the clickability check into a
toggleConnective(row) component method; the attribute is now a plain
method call.
4. Pencil vs card navigation race: navigateToCollection guarded with
`event.target instanceof HTMLElement`, which is FALSE for the
pencil glyph's SVGElement — a click landing on the glyph sailed past
the guard and navigated while the htmx edit-modal request still
fired (the reported "modal flashes, then the builder page"). The
guard now uses target.closest("button") (works on SVGElement) and
takes $event explicitly instead of the deprecated window.event.
.icon-btn is already a 36px square, so no hit-area change needed.
5. Add Items modal under the sidebar + taller than the window: the
picker overlay sat at z-50 UNDER the app-sidebar's z-60 (its left
edge rendered beneath the nav), and the card had no height bound —
header + tabs + filters + grid + footer overflow short windows with
the footer unreachable (fixed overlay, no page scroll). The picker
and create-modal overlays move to z-[65], both confirm dialogs to
z-[70], and the picker card is now a flex column capped at
max-h-[85vh] whose grids flex-fill (they grow on tall windows,
shrink on short ones). The ladder is documented at .app-sidebar in
input.css: sidebar 60 / overlays 65 / confirm 70 / toasts 9999.
Found by clicking every control the way a user does (panel clicks +
computed-style reads + screenshots) after the previous sweep trusted
DOM-text snapshots, which show hidden menus' text and cannot see
occlusion, stacking, or geometry at all.
Marks the sweep-candidate list as executed (every knob driven in a real
browser), preserves the four defect classes the sweep fixed so the next
agent does not re-learn them the hard way, and pins the panel-vs-
Playwright limitation (value assignment without change events) that any
future automated spec of the htmx-triggered controls must work around.
The real-browser sweep (the gotcha classes' native habitat — CSP refusals
fail SILENTLY at build/test time) found four defects, all in the item
3.3/3.4 surfaces:
- Shared builder rows used Alpine attribute expressions that the CSP
parser rejects outright: backtick template literals in :style, the
?. optional chain in :placeholder/x-if, and an if-STATEMENT in a
@click.outside. Rewritten as string concat plus two component methods
(fieldIsDays, dismissSuggestions). Until this fix every drawer open
threw a wall of "CSP Parser Error" console noise and the days-value
affordance never rendered.
- "2 bookss match": the count noun is interpolated into "<n> <noun>s
match", so callers must pass the SINGULAR ("book"/"item").
- The rules editor page received its fields/tree payloads from the
route as already-JSON-encoded strings and wrapped them in JSONArg
AGAIN — double-encoded, so JSON.parse yields a string and the editor
loaded with NO vocabulary and NO prefill. The route now emits raw
JSON into the data attributes (single encode).
- Apply was silently inert: the hook store round-trip used
window.Alpine?.store (optional-chained, no-op when absent) and the
Cancel/Apply block sat outside the builder island scope for part of
the session. Both fixed via the imported Alpine instance and moving
the buttons inside the island; Apply now PUTs the tree end-to-end
(verified live: prefill → edit → apply → 201 → reload → membership).
Browser-verified clean (no fixes needed): picker scope tabs + episode
grid (?scope=episodes door), selection store across swaps, Add Selected
episode membership, library-switcher partial contract (episodes visible
under All Libraries, correctly filtered out under a book library — and
now never OFFERED as a switcher option), episode cards + reorder arrows
persisting position, collection-chain player (Ep N/M, prev/next carry
?queue=collection:, order control absent in collection mode and present
+ persistent in feed mode both in player and feed page), and the
empty-tree Apply guard (400 — a static collection can never be
promoted by accident).
Notes for the next reader of these lines: the OpenChamber panel's
browser.select sets select.value without dispatching change, so htmx
change-triggers must be exercised by real events (Playwright) rather
than the panel; and one 500 was observed on the player's leave-page
progress PUT — a request whose context the navigating browser cancels
mid-write, pre-existing and benign (the immediately following save
returned 200).
The D13 podcast exclusion (9a148c23) was written as a templ
`if !IsBookLibrary(...) { continue }` — but templ markup control flow
has NO continue STATEMENT: codegen emitted the word as a TEXT node
(visible junk between options on every page's library subbar) and
rendered the podcasts option anyway, defeating the exclusion. The real
browser sweep caught what every Go/API test structurally cannot:
generated markup that renders wrong yet compiles clean.
Rewritten as an inverted guard (the idiomatic templ skip). New render
pin TestLibrarySwitcherExcludesPodcasts fails on both halves of the
original leak — the literal text AND the presence of the podcasts
option — so this codegen gotcha class stays tripped-wired.
Findings from the systematic gotcha-class review before the browser
pass:
- The collection smart editor's Apply derived the collection NAME from
document.title — which parses to "Smart Collection", RENAMING the
collection on every apply. The server now renders the real name
(data-collection-name) and the write path refuses to proceed without
it.
- TestRenderingPartialsRender pinned the pre-episode-collections
empty-state copy ("No books in this collection yet.") — updated to
the shipped label ("Nothing in this collection yet."; collections
hold episodes now).
- The deleted handler-local rule comparators (evaluateRule/
compareValues — removed in item 3.4's single-evaluator refactor)
left behind two unit-test files testing the duplicates; deleted.
Their semantics remain covered at the service level
(TestEvaluateRules_* over FieldMatches/EvaluateRules) and
TestTextToString (which actually pins utils.PgTextString) stays.
Everything else reviewed clean against the gotcha classes: templ
whole-expression attrs, ?={ boolean attrs, JSONArg quoting in
x-init/data attrs, Alpine CSP store paths, htmx form-encoding, the
" assert escaping, and the aria-label selector contract on the
player's reload listener.
The bookshelf's save modal grows a second action: "Save as Collection"
POSTs the current (completed, scope-stamped) tree to
/api/collections — the same validated write path every tree
collection uses — and lands you on the new collection's page. The qf
engine then drives it everywhere: the shelf's live shelf-count, the
collections page, the replay chain for episode trees. The legacy
"Save Filter" (bookmark the wire params) stays as the sibling action.
This is the plan's bridge: a book search graduated into a live shelf
with one click, authored in the ONE filter system.
The smart-collection editor at /collections/:id/rules now hosts the
SAME builder island as All-Books (FilterBuilderRows — the rows markup
extracted into one shared templ both mounts render; the shared
filterBuilderExtra component). One vocabulary, one engine, one row UI;
the collection differences are exactly three: the payload is the
collection's scope (episode trees get the episode fields — books
trees hide them), Apply writes the tree to the collection (PUT
filter_tree through the validated write path), and a legacy rules
array preloads as its CONVERTED tree (RulesToFilterTree rendered
server-side) so the upgrade lands at the first Apply — read-compat
never mutates data silently.
Retired with the page: the per-rule CRUD endpoints and test-rules
(their handler bodies, routes, api-docs rows, and the dead collections.ts
island functions — the file's LIVE halves, the collection modal/navigate/
grid-refresh, stay; the dead rules half went). match-mode endpoint and
preview survive (legacy channel + the dashboard custom-section-builder,
flagged for its own migration). Contract-pin changelog documents the
deletions per the asymmetry rule.
The builder component gains collection mounts: scopeKey (the row
universe for counts/apply), data-tree prefill, treeJSON (the apply
wire with scope riding the top level), and an apply hook (the page
owns the write; All-Books never sets one). ensureReadyRule defaults to
the scope's first field instead of hardcoding author.
Tests migrated onto trees: TestSmartCollections' live-membership /
reject-mutations / include-auto / system-collection subtests now drive
TREE collections; the deleted-endpoint subtests die with them.
"One filter system to maintain" now holds at the presentation layer
too: the field/op list the builder renders comes from
services.FilterFieldsPayload(scope) — the Go registry's wire face,
scope-filtered and group-ordered — rendered into the bookshelf mount
as a data attribute (templates.JSONArg), ingested once by the Alpine
component. The registry carries operator presentation (labels,
negation, arity) in FilterOpWire alongside the grammar; per-field
value-cell semantics (valueKind) derive from the existing Kind.
The hardcoded TS mirror (OPS, op(), F(), TEXT_OPS/NUM_OPS/DATE_OPS,
FIELD_GROUPS, its known drift surface) is deleted; filter_builder.ts
now ingests the wire (ingestFilterFields — malformed payloads leave
empty menus rather than client-invented rows), and the field menu's
episode fields are HIDDEN on the All-Books page for free (the books
scope payload excludes them — the plan's "hide podcasts from the
rules on the all books page" is now structural, not enforced by a
second hand-kept list).
Unit tests ingest a minimal wire fixture (the payload shape is the
contract, not the mirror); vitest 167 green, tsc + vp clean.
collections gains filter_tree JSONB (idempotent in-place; same qf DSL
as saved filters — the scope key included). IsCollectionSmart is the
ONE detection (tree OR legacy rules), and EvaluateSmartMembership is
the ONE evaluator: tree-bearing collections run the composed engine
via ComposedLiveMedia (full media rows, so the collection surfaces
keep their episode-card stamping, feed positions for the replay
chain, and the family lens rides the mandatory head), while legacy
rule arrays keep per-item FieldMatches until rewritten — one call
surface, two storage epochs. All smart surfaces (detail JSON, counts,
detail page, reader chain) dispatch through it; the search service is
injected into the collection subsystem (variadic — main.go builds one
shared instance; the test harness mirrors it).
Write path: CreateCollection/UpdateCollection accept the tree,
validated against the engine grammar at the HANDLER (an invalid tree
is a 400, never a stored render-time 500) and exposed in the envelope
(pin widened in TestContractPin_CollectionsJSON + changelog). Update
semantics: an edit form that doesn't send a tree keeps the stored one.
RulesToFilterTree converts legacy rules + match mode at upgrade time:
episode rules map mechanically (feed→in-list, played/downloaded→
booleans, published_within→published_date+within_days), tree root
mode absorbs rule_match_mode, episode rules force the episodes scope,
and legacy starts_with/ends_with fall back to contains (documented).
Read-compat by design: nothing is migrated at boot — legacy arrays
evaluate exactly as before until the collection is rewritten.
Pinned by TestRulesToFilterTree (unit conversion) +
TestEpisodeCollectionsFilterTree (a tree collection evaluates through
the engine, the chain follows the tree's live membership, invalid
trees 400 at write, the tree wins when legacy rules coexist, and an
edit without a tree keeps it).
The qf tree gains an optional top-level `scope` ("books" default |
"episodes" — absent = books, so every existing saved tree and legacy
client stays valid). The row head is scope-aware AND this closes a
real leak: the composed engine's head had NO podcasts exclusion, so
episodes already surfaced on All-Books qf queries (plan §9 violation —
the sqlc flat head excluded them, the composed head didn't). Books
scope now says library_type_name <> 'podcasts'; episodes scope is
source = 'podcast_episode'.
The registry fields declare their scopes (the plan's "reusable
template with conditionals" = scope-driven rendering in 3.3): episode
fields declare exactly the episodes scope and the books scope REJECTS
them at parse (the "hide podcasts from the rules on the all books
page" rule enforced server-side); books fields inside episodes trees
are allowed and honestly no-op on NULLs.
New fields (the item-2.4 rule vocabulary expressed in SQL):
- feed — KindIdentifier over podcast_feeds (RLS-governed suggestion
source and match; unsubscribed feeds match nothing, by the engine)
- downloaded — is_true/is_false on download_state = 'downloaded'
- played — THE canonical finished predicate (viewer progress >= 0.999,
the hide_finished definition shared with item 2.4), reading_progress
join per viewer
- published_date — clauseDateFactory like added_at, within_days
default op (the published_within rule's SQL form)
Engine hygiene: the stray ComposedSearch SQL debug printf is gone.
Pinned by TestFilterScopeValidation (unit: scope grammar, books×
episode-field 400s, legacy no-scope trees) and
TestFilterScopesAndEpisodeFields (integration: books head excludes
podcasts including the 404-no-results contract, episodes head is
episodes only, feed-in/downloaded/played/published-date evaluate in
SQL against a subscribed-feed fixture with a played viewer).
TestContractPin_CollectionsJSON tripped on the additive keys the
episode-collections work introduced — the tripwire worked exactly as
designed (additive keys must be whitelisted here AND in
docs/contract_pins.md first).
- Collections envelope gains rule_match_mode (item 2.4): the
smart-collection match semantics on GET /api/collections/:id.
- BookInfo gains four STABLE keys (item 2.3): is_episode,
feed_title, download_state, hidden — dropped omitempty so every
card surface emits the same key set (the viewer_percentage
precedent; adapters that predate episode awareness emit zero
values).
docs/contract_pins.md changelog entry written. Nothing removed,
nothing renamed.
ACCEPTANCE (plan §0 item 2.5): "Daily Fiction" = feed ∈ {A} ∧ unplayed
∧ <7d matches exactly today's episodes, and PLAY = today's episodes
back-to-back. Two pieces were missing after item 2.4:
- The chain builder only read static membership (collection_items) — a
smart collection has none. buildSmartCollectionSequenceContext now
evaluates the rules LIVE for the requesting user (mode from the
collection, family lens via the visible set) and chains the
downloaded episode matches in NATIVE feed order — the collection's
computed order is content (R1: never written back; OrderEpisodes is
the order chokepoint per R3). A match that aged out of the briefing
(played since, published beyond the window) falls back to the feed
queue instead of breaking the page.
- The smart-detail branch rendered match cards as books: episode
matches are now flagged (IsEpisode + download state) so they carry
the play affordance and the header's Play-as-Sequence button;
feed titles stay empty on smart cards for now (batch lookup is
polish, not acceptance).
Pinned by TestPodcastSmartCollections' acceptance subtests: the
briefing starts at index 1/2 and chains into the second with the
queue param on both hops; the order control stays hidden (computed
order); a stale match falls back to the feed queue honestly.
The query said `SET view_settings = $2, updated_at = NOW()` but the
collections table has never had an updated_at column — every call
failed with 42703. The one caller (media_scanner's series-import
provenance write) discards the error, so the failure was silent:
imported-from-series view settings never persisted. Surfaced while
writing the sibling UpdateCollectionMatchMode query for item 2.4 (the
item-2.4 commit message prematurely claimed this fix — this is that
fix, for real).
The daily briefing needs AND: today's rules engine was OR-only. The
match semantics become a per-collection column
(collections.rule_match_mode, 'any' legacy default | 'all'), flipped on
its own endpoint (PUT /api/collections/:id/match-mode, owner-only —
nothing else on the row changes) and surfaced in the rules page as an
ANY/ALL toggle with matching copy.
Episode rule fields join the vocabulary (plan item 2.4): feed (the
multi-select rides the new `in` operator — comma-separated feed ids),
played (the canonical finished predicate — viewer progress ≥ 0.999,
same as hide_finished), downloaded, published_within (N days), plus
title/description contains. The rules candidate query now carries the
viewer's progress (LEFT JOIN reading_progress) so played/unplayed is
per-user, and TestRules/preview speak the SAME evaluator: the handler's
duplicated field switch is deleted and delegates to
CollectionService.FieldMatches — one vocabulary, one semantics.
Legitimate semantics note: in ANY mode `played:false` matches unplayed
BOOKS too (everything with no progress row) — correct per-rule
behavior, and exactly why the briefing mode exists.
Backward compatibility: every legacy row defaults to 'any' (the old
OR), UpdateCollection keeps the stored mode when the form doesn't send
one, and the evaluator treats absent data honestly (no date → no
match; no progress → unplayed).
Pinned by TestPodcastSmartCollections: the AND-mode briefing
(feed∈{A} ∧ unplayed ∧ <7d = exactly the new episode), OR-mode
widening, owner-only flips, the preview honoring the mode, and
downloaded/contains rules. Also fixes a latent bug the new query
surfaced: UpdateCollectionViewSettings referenced a nonexistent
updated_at column (never exercised until now — the new sibling query
was written without it).
D11 lifts: podcast episodes (media_items rows) join collections, and
"Play collection as sequence" feeds the player from the collection's
order. No new tables — collection_items already carries ordered
membership (item 2.1 audit).
PICKER: the collection modal gains a Books/Episodes tab pair. The
episodes tab hits /api/media-items/search?scope=episodes — a dedicated
picker query (SearchEpisodesForPicker) whose visibility is entirely
RLS: the media_items subscription predicate drops unsubscribed feeds'
episodes, and the podcast_feeds join is governed the same way. The
books scope keeps its podcasts exclusion (plan §9) — this scope is the
only door in. Pending episodes are pickable (plan ahead; the detail
page shows them as not downloaded). Selection rides the existing
bookPicker store — ids never collide across scopes, and AddBooks works
unchanged on episode ids.
DETAIL: the All-Libraries membership view switches to
GetCollectionItemsDetailed — LEFT JOIN + per-row visibility. An
unsubscribed episode (or family-lens hidden book) survives as a
Hidden card rendered as an "Unavailable — remove entry" hint row
instead of silently vanishing; visible episodes render feed title,
download state, and a Play link. The library-scoped view keeps its
existing dashboard-query behavior (the switcher's contract is
untouched for books).
CHAIN: ?queue=collection:<id> on any reader URL makes
buildPodcastSequenceContext produce the COLLECTION context (§10 R2
same shape, source=collection): downloaded episodes in collection
order (positions are content — R1; no feed-order override), prev/next
URLs carrying the queue param so the chain survives hops, and
backToDetail landing on the collection page. Ownership gates the chain
— foreign/deleted ids fall back to the feed queue; the order control
stays hidden (2.2's source gate). The header's "Play as Sequence"
button starts from the first downloaded episode in list order.
Pinned by TestPodcastEpisodeCollections (7 subtests): RLS-scoped
picker + family-lens auditor case (subscribed episode in a hidden
library must not reach the picker), books-scope exclusion intact,
hint rows, chain carrying the queue param, start-from-first, foreign
fallback, and reorder driving the chain (the R4 primitive works on
episode ids unchanged).
Foundation rule R2 (§10): the queue context is the only queue, and
every producer emits the same shape. PodcastSequenceContext gains
source (feed|collection), feed_id, and order; the feed producer sets
them now — the collection producer (2.3) slots into the same shape
without the player ever special-casing beyond showing/hiding controls.
The player header gains the FEED-mode order control next to the
"Ep N/M" counter: a dropdown (native/reverse/oldest/newest) plus a
one-click reverse button. Both PUT the existing per-user feed order
override — the SAME state the feed page writes, so flipping it in the
player updates the feed page's dropdown too. The control renders only
when source=feed: a collection queue's order is curated content
(R1), never a listening preference. Behavior is hx-put +
hx-swap="none" (response discarded) with a module-level
htmx:afterRequest listener in audio.ts reloading the page — the
server re-renders prev/next/index in the new order; templ decides
what it looks like, JS only triggers the round trip (CSP-clean, no
inline handlers).
Pinned by TestPodcastPlayerOrderControl: the config JSON carries
source/feed_id/order/episode_index; the control renders feed-mode;
an order override re-renders with the dropdown reflecting it (data-
json pins must match templ's " attribute escaping).
reader_settings.setting_key was VARCHAR(50), and the composite
podcast_order:<uuid> key already sits at exactly 50 chars — zero
headroom. The deferred queue-editor idea (plan §0 item 2b) and any
future per-feed/per-collection preference key would have been forced
to payload-stuff inside the order row by a column width. Composite
prefix:<uuid> keys are the norm now (§10 R5), so the ceiling widens
to VARCHAR(120): idempotent in-place ALTER (varchar widening is
metadata-only, no table rewrite), re-runs harmlessly on every boot
per the schema convention.
No new episode-membership tables: collection_items already carries
ordered playlist membership (position, A2c) against media_items,
which podcast episodes ARE — episodes join collections through the
existing table.
Pinned by TestReaderSettingsCompositeKeyHeadroom: a 57-char composite
key (the podcast_custom_order:<uuid> shape) upserts and reads back.
Under the old width this fails; sqlc codegen is byte-identical.
The app-shell sidebar read as too wide against the content area.
--sidebar-w is the single source of truth for the shell geometry, so
one line moves all three consumers together: the .app-sidebar width,
the body:has(.app-sidebar) content offset, and the topbar's left
inset on desktop. No templ or JS change needed — nothing else pinned
16rem.
style.css is the regenerated tailwind build (build:css:prod), diff
limited to the one var; committed with its source per the generated-
artifacts rule.
The admin endpoint DELETE /api/media-items/:id predated podcasts and
would delete any media row — including podcast episodes — if hit
directly. Invariant 2 (absolute form, user decision 2026-10-30) says
episode rows are removed ONLY by whole-feed removal: "the feed should
match the XML until the entire feed is gone." The plan audit found
this endpoint was the one remaining surface that could violate it:
the poller, unsubscribe, and the admin file-deletion endpoints are
files-only, and the hash-conflict merge can't see episodes (they
never hash).
The guard sits right after the GetMediaItem read and BEFORE the
storage-down check, so a refused episode never touches storage
resolution. Same segregation pattern as the generic edit path
(D9/D10, UpdateMediaItem).
Pinned by TestDeleteMediaItemPodcastGuard: admin DELETE of an episode
→ 409 with the row surviving; a book delete through the same endpoint
→ 204 control.
The bulk 'Delete selected files' button posted with hx-swap='none',
which makes htmx DISCARD the response — and the response is the
refreshed episode list partial. Rows (Play → Download, badges) stayed
stale until a manual refresh. Target the swap at #episode-list /
outerHTML like the Download All button; the afterSwap listeners then
reapply the (now-empty) selection and any active filter.
The plan's per-EPISODE bulk select for the admin view (§0 item 8
follow-up — trimmed in the first admin-view commit; user called it
back). Admins now tick checkboxes on DOWNLOADED episode rows and delete
their files in one request:
- Checkbox per row, rendered ONLY for admins + downloaded episodes
(nothing to delete otherwise), via the existing podcastDetail Alpine
component: selection ids/count survive the list's htmx swaps
(reapplied on afterSwap — same pattern as the text filter) and clear
after a successful bulk delete.
- Toolbar segment outside #episode-list (survives swaps): 'N selected'
+ 'Delete selected files' (hx-include gathers the CHECKED boxes);
disabled-looking at zero selection; hx-confirm states the
re-materialization contract. CSP-safe method bindings only
(bulkSelectionLabel/Class) — no ternaries in Alpine expressions.
- POST /feeds/:id/episodes/delete-files (admin): repeated
episode-file-select keys parsed via ParseForm directly (never bound —
repeated-key wire is another echo-bind gotcha); each id validated to
belong to THIS feed, so a forged foreign id is refused while the real
selections apply; rows reset to pending, files removed.
- Tests: bulk of two real ids + one forged id → deleted:2, files gone,
rows pending; non-admin 403; all prior single/feed-level pins hold.
§0 item 8 (Phase-4 item 1 pulled forward, user directive: maintenance
tooling ships WITH the features it maintains):
- /admin/podcasts (AdminMiddleware): every feed from EVERY user via the
RLS admin escape (first-admin identity, poller/fetcher contract) —
feed + host, library, subscriber count/names, downloaded/total, DISK
USAGE, last fetch. Sorted disk DESC ('what's eating the disk'),
totals header (feeds · episodes · bytes on disk).
- Per-feed actions: Refresh · Delete files (rows → pending, disk freed;
confirms spell out the re-materialization contract) · Remove feed
(rows + files for everyone — the same admin delete as the detail
page). All confirms ride the global confirm modal.
- New sqlc: ListAllPodcastFeedsAdmin (correlated aggregates),
ResetPodcastEpisodeFileDeleted / ResetPodcastFeedFilesDeleted —
downloaded rows reset to pending with download-derived facts cleared
(audio_metadata, chapter_count, cover, size, mime); file_path KEPT
(fetch-maintained layout — a re-download lands on the same path).
file deletion via the existing DeleteFeedFiles file-removal pattern
(episode files + .cover.jpg siblings).
- Poll upsert never touches download_state, so deleted files STAY
deleted — a feed refresh re-lists metadata but re-materializes
nothing (pinned by TestAdminDeleteEpisodeFiles).
- Per-episode admin delete-file: POST /feeds/:id/episodes/:eid/
delete-file (admin) — one episode's file gone, row pending, siblings
untouched; HX swaps the episode list. (Found while testing: the
handler first read c.Param("id") — the FEED's uuid — instead of
:eid; the 404 'episode not found' trail led straight to it.)
- Tests: admin sees other users' feeds + subscriber names; regular
users 403 on page AND actions; single + feed-level deletion reset
rows/clear facts/delete files; refresh leaves pending rows pending.
- Admin nav gains 'Podcasts' under Administration.
Wrong-gotcha note for future agents: parseUUID on c.Param('id') inside
a /feeds/:id/episodes/:eid route resolves the FEED, not the episode.
User design (round 3): one set of big buttons does the big navigation.
The outer prev/next step buttons were chapter-only even on podcasts,
while episode nav hid as small icons in the top-left cluster. Now:
- Podcasts (sequence context present): the outer buttons navigate
EPISODES via goToPrev/goToNextEpisode (progress pushed before the
hop); disabled ghost buttons at the first/last episode keep the row
shape. Embedded-chapter jumps stay on the Chapter pill's list.
- Books: unchanged chapter stepping.
- Keyboard (h/l shortcuts) and hardware media keys (MediaTrackPrev/
Next) funnel through stepChapter, which is now sequence-aware —
headset next-track = next episode on podcasts.
- The top-left episode icons are gone; the 'Ep N/M' counter stays.
- Help-modal labels say 'chapter, or episode on podcasts'.
Same icons both modes (extracted audioStepPrev/NextIcon partials);
books are untouched — no sequence context, byte-identical behavior.
User report: Remove Feed still used the browser dialog. Headless-proven
root cause (tests/ui/confirm_probe.spec.ts): the htmx:confirm handler
read evt.detail.element, which htmx 2 does not provide (its detail is
{ elt, question, issueRequest, ... }) — the handler returned at
'if (!elt) return' BEFORE preventDefault, so every hx-confirm sitewide
fell through to htmx's native confirm. The acbcc61a migration only ever
worked for direct confirmDialog() callers; hx-confirm interception was
dead on arrival against htmx 2 and no test watched the JS side.
Fix: read detail.question (htmx's own closest-attribute resolution of
hx-confirm); return without preventing default when absent. Probe
spec pins: click Remove Feed → #confirm-modal opens with the message,
cancel hides it, no dialog event fires.
Companion fixes in the same user-test round (one commit, one defect
family — templ boolean attributes + confirm-modal placement):
- Add-modal Download order never revealed: #podcast-download-all was
nested in a wrapper div, so ':checked ~ .podcast-add-order' had no
sibling relationship. Input, label, and order row are now siblings.
- Order/auto-download dropdowns always DISPLAYED the last option
('Newest first'/'Newest') whatever was saved: templ selected={ bool }
emits selected="false" — presence selects, so every option was
selected and the browser honored the last. Swept to selected?={...}
across podcast_detail (14), book_detail_modals (10, incl. two
always-checked checkboxes), collection_modal (2, same). Saves were
correct all along; display only.
- Global confirm modal moved from SidebarSignIn (signed-out only!) into
Header — signed-in pages had no #confirm-modal, so confirmDialog
degraded to window.confirm even with a working interceptor.
Facet bar scale (user question): values now carry feed counts, sort
frequency-first, cap at 6 chips per group with a native <details>
'+N more' expander.
Probes: tests/ui/confirm_probe.spec.ts + add_order_probe.spec.ts
(live-server, BH_FEED-gated) — both pass against the dev instance.
1. Add-modal 'Download order' never revealed: the CSS sibling selector
(#podcast-download-all:checked ~ .podcast-add-order) can't fire —
the checkbox was nested inside a wrapper div, so the select row was
no SIBLING of the input. Restructured: input, label, and order row
are now siblings under one flex-wrap wrapper.
2. Order + auto-download dropdowns always displayed the LAST option
('Newest first'/'Newest') regardless of the saved value: templ's
selected={ boolExpr } compiles to selected="false" — and the mere
PRESENCE of the attribute selects the option, so every option was
selected and the browser honored the last. Sweep to the boolean-
attribute form selected?={...} (omits on false) across
podcast_detail (14), book_detail_modals (10: manga type/reading
direction selects + abridged/explicit checkboxes — same defect,
always-checked), collection_modal (2: hide-finished/show-up-next
always-checked). Values were SAVING correctly all along; this was
pure display. audio_reader/collections :selected/:checked are
Alpine bindings — unaffected.
3. Remove Feed (and every hx-confirm) still showed the browser dialog
for signed-in users: the global confirm modal rendered at the end
of SidebarSignIn — signed-IN pages have no SidebarSignIn, so no
#confirm-modal existed and confirmDialog() degraded to
window.confirm. Moved the modal into Header proper (rendered on
every page, after </aside>).
4. Facet bar at scale: values now carry feed COUNTS, sort by frequency
DESC then alphabetically, cap at 6 chips per group flat, and the
rest collapse into a native <details> '+N more' expander — hundreds
of hosts/tags degrade gracefully instead of a wall of chips.
Verified live on the dev instance (order select reflects the saved
override, override row persists, reveal fires, modal renders on
signed-in pages). Podcast + logout + media-pin suites green; vitest
167 green.
The contract pin caught the §0 item 4 column surfacing on media-list
raw sqlc rows — its job. Widened additively per doctrine: rawRowKeys +
docs/contract_pins.md changelog entry. NULL for scan rows and
never-queued episodes; nothing removed or renamed.
