Export/Import:
- `pad export -o file.json` exports workspace (collections, items,
comments, links, versions) to portable JSON
- `pad import file.json --name X` creates new workspace with
regenerated UUIDs and remapped relations
- GET /workspaces/{slug}/export and POST /workspaces/import endpoints
- "Download JSON" button in workspace settings
- Import tab with drag-and-drop in the create workspace modal
- Full transaction wrapping for atomic imports
Create Workspace Modal:
- Extracted from sidebar dropdown into a proper centered modal
(sidebar's CSS transform was trapping fixed-position elements)
- Rendered at root layout level via uiStore flag
- Create and Import tabs with template picker and file drop zone
Spreadsheet-style third view option alongside list and board. Sortable
columns for all schema fields, clickable status cycling, inline progress
bars, resolved relation labels, sticky header, and horizontal scroll.
Persisted per-collection in localStorage, configurable as default view.
Quick wins:
- IDEA-31: URL autolink + link popover in editor (SafeLink with data-href
prevents mobile navigation, popover shows open/edit/remove actions)
- IDEA-36: Focus title on new item creation, Enter moves to editor
- IDEA-38: Add `pad link` CLI command to link directory to existing workspace
- IDEA-34: Show checklist progress bar on item cards (parses markdown checkboxes)
- IDEA-28: Workspace rename (already existed in settings)
Medium effort:
- IDEA-33: Drag-and-drop task reordering in Phase documents via svelte-dnd-action
- IDEA-26: Archive collections (frontend wiring — backend already supported soft delete)
- IDEA-29: Archive workspaces with danger zone confirmation in settings
- IDEA-37: Raw markdown editor toggle + inline Mermaid diagram rendering
(NodeView with ignoreMutation to prevent ProseMirror re-parse loops)
- Print suggested /pad prompts after `pad init` creates a new workspace
- Add `pad onboard` command that detects project tooling (language, build system,
test runner, CI, linter) and suggests matching conventions from the library
- Replace empty workspace welcome box with OnboardingChecklist component showing
a 4-step guided setup with progress bar and /pad prompt hints
- Add contextual tips with /pad prompts to empty collection states
- Add onboarding workflow to /pad skill for agent-driven codebase analysis
- Fix relation fields storing slugs instead of UUIDs: server now resolves
slugs/refs to UUIDs for relation-type fields on both create and update
The go:embed directive requires web/build/* to exist. Go test and vet jobs
run without building the web UI, so create a minimal placeholder directory
to satisfy the embed pattern.
Status change and sort order updates were firing concurrently, causing
SQLITE_BUSY errors. Now handleFinalize awaits the status change before
sending reorder updates. Switched all frontend API calls from item.slug
to item.id (UUID). Added UUID support to ResolveItem in the store layer.
New QuickAction type in collection settings lets users define prompt templates
with variables ({ref}, {title}, {status}, etc.) that resolve at click time.
Lightning bolt menu appears on item detail and collection pages. Includes
default actions for Tasks, Ideas, Phases, and Docs collections. Fully
customizable via new Quick Actions tab in EditCollectionModal.
Replace nested svelte-dnd-action zones (which treated the whole board as one
drop target) with native HTML5 drag events on column headers. Source column
fades during drag, blue left-border indicates drop position. Card drag-and-drop
within/between columns still uses svelte-dnd-action.
Show field summary after create/update CLI commands. Make svelte-check
blocking in CI. Improve editor block handling, field editor layout,
conventions page, and minor UI consistency fixes across pages.
Board columns and list groups can now be reordered by dragging their headers.
New order persists by updating the collection schema's field options array.
Column names remain left-aligned with drag handle on hover.
Select text in the editor to see a floating "Extract" button. Clicking it
opens an inline form to pick a collection and edit the title, then creates
the item and replaces the selection with a [[wiki-link]]. Full selected text
is included as item content when the title is edited shorter.
Added title attributes with localized timestamps to every relativeTime()
display: item detail meta, item cards, dashboard activity, activity feed,
comments, and version history.
Sidebar now has "Collections" and "Agent" section headers with visual
distinction. Drag handles appear on hover for reorderable collections.
Also fixed uniqueSlug to check all rows including soft-deleted when
generating slugs, preventing UNIQUE constraint violations when creating
items with names matching archived items.
Board columns and list groups now show an archive icon on hover with inline
confirmation to bulk-archive all items in a group. Collection page has a
"Show archived" checkbox that loads archived items via include_archived param.
Restore handler wired up for restoring individual archived items.
Reorganized the modal into three tabs (General, Fields, Display) at 680px
width. General tab has name/icon/description/prefix. Fields tab has improved
field cards with key identifiers and a cleaner add-field section. Display tab
uses a two-column grid for settings. Fixed scroll containment so footer stays
pinned while tab content scrolls.
EditCollectionModal now includes a Display section with controls for: default
view (list/board), item layout (balanced/fields-primary/content-primary), board
and list group-by fields (populated from select fields), and list sort-by field.
Settings are saved alongside schema changes in the same PATCH request.
URLs now use collection prefix + item number (e.g. /ideas/IDEA-15) instead of
long slugs. Backend ResolveItem() accepts either format for backwards compat —
old slug-based URLs and bookmarks still work. Updated all frontend link
generation (item cards, sidebar, search, wiki-links) to use refs.
CreateCollectionModal now shows a template picker as the first step with 8
templates: Bug Tracker, Feature Requests, Meeting Notes, Decisions, Tech Debt,
OKRs, Sprint Backlog, and Knowledge Base. Selecting a template pre-fills name,
icon, description, fields, and settings. A "Blank" option starts from scratch.
Redesigned the EditCollectionModal to support full schema evolution: editable
field labels, delete fields, reorder with up/down buttons, and per-option
chip editing for select/multi_select fields. When select options are renamed,
a bulk migration updates all existing items via SQLite json_set/json_extract.
Library link was accessible from Conventions/Playbooks pages already. Board
columns now stretch to match the tallest column so items can be dragged to
any column when scrolled down.
Generate favicon sizes (16, 32, ico), Apple touch icon (180),
PWA icons (192, 512), and web manifest from padicon.png. Add
Open Graph meta tags for social sharing previews.
ListView: items with empty group field values now appear in an
"Uncategorized" group at the bottom instead of being silently dropped.
Detail page: field and title updates now show the subtle "Saving..."
→ "✓ Saved" status indicator instead of firing toast notifications
on every change. Toasts are reserved for errors only.
Clicking "+ New Item" now immediately creates a blank item with
default fields and navigates to its detail page with the title
input focused and selected, ready to type. No more separate
creation form — creating and editing an item are the same
experience. Both the collection page button and sidebar button
use this flow.
The infinite loop was caused by bind:value on a dynamic key of a
$state proxy Record (existingOptionsText[field.key]). Replaced with
_optionsText stored directly on each field object, avoiding the
proxy key-access reactivity cycle.
Fix infinite loop when changing a field's type in Edit Collection
modal — existingOptionsText now initializes entries for all fields.
New item creation page now shows all editable schema fields (priority,
category, assignee, phase, etc.) using FieldEditor components, not
just status. Fields reset when switching collections.

Single Go binary with embedded SvelteKit web UI, SQLite storage,
CLI, and Claude Code /pad skill integration.
