xarmian f7b2558196 fix(web): ESC closes the pane before its ItemDetail has loaded (BUG-3148) (#2053)
ItemDetail is imported on demand (TASK-2226), so a cold open shows the
PaneHost shell (.item-pane) before ItemDetail exists. The pane-close ESC
layer was registered by ItemDetail, so in that window the escape stack held
only the list-focus layer and ESC did nothing. Measured with
pane-a11y-focus :200's own steps at 4 workers: 14 of 20 runs had the stack
top at the list priority, and each of those failed to close; every passing
run had the pane layer on top and closed via replace-delete. That is the
:200 failure on #2046 (?item= still set at :222).

The shell now registers the pane-close layer for as long as it is mounted;
ItemDetail no longer does (PaneHost is its only embedded mount).

New e2e holds the ItemDetail chunk (found by a string only it contains),
presses ESC on the empty shell, and expects the pane to close: red on main
(?item= stays), green 5/5. Pane + escape e2e specs 71 passed; vitest
5684/5684; check 0 errors.

Pad Web UI

SvelteKit 2 + Svelte 5 frontend for Pad, compiled to static files and embedded into the Go binary.

Development

npm install
npm run dev          # Dev server at localhost:5173 (proxies API to localhost:7777)
npm run build        # Production build to build/
npm run check        # Type checking with svelte-check

When developing, run the Go backend separately with make dev from the project root.

Building for Production

Do not build in isolation. Always use make build from the project root — this builds the web frontend, then compiles the Go binary with the build output embedded via //go:embed.

Stack

  • Svelte 5 with runes ($state, $derived, $effect)
  • SvelteKit 2 with adapter-static (SPA mode)
  • Tiptap block editor with markdown round-trip
  • svelte-dnd-action for drag-and-drop in board/list views
  • SSE for real-time updates
  • TypeScript throughout
