xarmian 29e49e4c63 fix(web): make the master/pane freeze invisible to the user (BUG-2263) (#987)
On the full-page item host, opening a detail pane froze the non-active
side by DEGRADING its DOM — fields became plaintext, buttons vanished,
the title turned read-only. Under the focus-follows-editing model
(PLAN-2179) the freeze is transient and one-click-reversible, so that
degradation was pure user-visible friction: you'd click a plaintext
field, the click would flip activePane, the field would re-render into a
live control, and you'd have to click again.

The freeze exists ONLY to keep exactly one TYPEABLE collab content editor
(single-owner of the editorStore/activeItem/tab-title singletons). It is
NOT a data-collision barrier: master and pane are always DIFFERENT items,
whose collab state is fully itemID-keyed / instance-local, and most REST
surfaces (fields, title, assign/role, tags, move, delete, share,
relationships, children, comments, reactions, archived restore, star) are
single-item, server-gated, side-independent writes.

So drop the `!peeking` term from those REST surfaces — gate them on
`canEdit` alone (their pre-freeze contract) — and keep `peeking` ONLY on
the content editor and its chrome (rich + raw editors, bubble/link
popover, provider-lifecycle mode toggle + retry). The content editor is
already invisible: the host's pointerdown-capture flips activePane before
the click's caret placement (TASK-2180 no-remount reactive editable), so
one gesture activates the side and lands the edit. Now the whole side is:
click anywhere -> edit it, no visible mode.

Two surfaces are NOT side-independent and stay confined to the active side
(the two documented exceptions, found by Codex review):
 - Version restore REST-writes this item's `items.content` directly, which
   collides with the retained Y.Doc on a peeking side. Kept frozen via a
   new ItemTimeline `restoreFrozen={peeking}` prop; comments/reactions
   (separate REST entities) stay live.
 - The quick-actions "Manage/New" controls rewrite the whole collection
   `settings` from a per-item snapshot (last-write-wins across two items in
   one collection), so they gate on `isOwner && !peeking` and recheck
   canEdit at dispatch; the read-only prompt-copy actions stay visible on
   both sides.

Scope: full-page host only. The collection route never passes peeking, so
`mutationsEnabled === canEdit`, `frozen={peeking}` is inert, and
`restoreFrozen` defaults false there — every change is byte-identical on
that route. `mutationsEnabled` survives but now scopes to content-editor
chrome only.

Tests: rewrote the masterFreeze unit probe + both full-page e2e specs
(host + capstone) to assert the new contract — the frozen side keeps its
editable title/fields/buttons; only its content editor flips
contenteditable=false. The freeze signal moved from `h1.title-readonly`
to the ProseMirror `contenteditable` attribute. Added a runtime-mutation
e2e assertion (a field edit on the frozen master PATCHes the correct item),
a real-QuickActionsMenu integration test, and unit coverage for the two
exceptions.

Two PRE-EXISTING concurrency issues were surfaced by the review (version-
restore gating + collection-settings write-exposure are byte-identical to
main, so this PR neither introduces nor worsens them); filed as BUG-2264
(restore <-> Y.Doc reconciliation) and BUG-2265 (collection-settings
optimistic concurrency).

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
