xarmian 761e6e2453 fix(web): a failed cold search is not evidence that nothing matched (TASK-2877)
Codex review round 3 P2. `coldSearch`'s catch leaves exactly the state a
successful empty answer leaves — no rows, not loading — and the result
list is right to render both as "No results". The create row is not: an
empty answer is evidence that no such item exists; a failed one is no
evidence at all, and offering to create on no evidence is how a duplicate
gets minted while the index is cold and the network is unhappy. Same rule
the permission gate already follows — no answer must not read as
permission.

A `coldFailed` flag now separates the two, and where it is CLEARED was
settled by the matrix rather than by symmetry. Three reset sites looked
obviously needed and three mutants removing them survived:

  * the cold branch of `runQuery` — `loading` is true for that entire
    window and already suppresses the row, and both `coldSearch` branches
    assign the flag outright when the request settles;
  * the empty-query branch — covered twice over, since an empty query
    offers no create row at all;
  * the workspace-reset effect — same as the first.

All three are gone rather than carrying a comment claiming a protection
they do not provide, which is the disposition this plan's own U3 note
records for an unkillable guard. The ONE reachable reset is the warm
branch: it is the only path that produces a fresh verdict without going
through `coldSearch`, so without it a single network blip suppresses the
affordance for the rest of the session even once the authoritative in-RAM
answer is available. That one has a test, and its mutant dies.

Round 3 also raised a P1 I am NOT taking: typing a new query while a
create is in flight does not cancel it. The three fences that exist —
escape, picking another row, retargeting — each stand for an act that
means "not this one". Typing is not such an act; it is mid-thought, and
the user did explicitly ask for the item that is being created. Treating
it as a cancel would leave the created row orphaned and the field unset,
which is a worse outcome than a field that ends up holding exactly what
was asked for. Told to Codex in the next round rather than left to be
re-flagged.

Matrix: 20 mutants, all killed; baseline and restore both 80/80.

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
