* feat(editor): slash menu, toolbar, markdown shortcut to insert htmlBlock (TASK-1326)

Three insertion paths for the htmlBlock node, all landing the user in
source mode so they can immediately type HTML:

1. **Slash menu** — block-types.ts gets a new SLASH_ITEMS entry
   (id=htmlBlock, icon='HTML', label='HTML Block', insertOnly=true).
   execSlash dispatches setHtmlBlock + a requestAnimationFrame click on
   the empty-state placeholder to enter source mode.

2. **Toolbar** — EditorToolbar.svelte gets an 'HTML' button in the
   'blocks' group, after the table button. Same setHtmlBlock + auto-flip
   pattern.

3. **Markdown shortcut** — htmlBlock.ts adds a new ProseMirror InputRule
   matching `^```html[\s\n]$`. Replaces the typed text with an empty
   htmlBlock node. The extension's priority is bumped to 1000 (default
   100) so this rule wins against CodeBlock's broader
   `^```([a-z]+)?[\s\n]$` rule — without this, typing ``` ```html ``` +
   Enter would create a code block with language=html, not an htmlBlock.

The auto-flip-to-source heuristic queries
`.html-block:not(.html-block--editing) .html-block-empty` and clicks
the preview pane on the next frame after insertion. This works because
a freshly inserted block is always empty (empty placeholder visible)
and never in --editing mode (--editing is only set when the user
explicitly clicks). Multiple new empty blocks would in principle
race-flip, but realistically only one is inserted at a time.

Out of scope (TASK-1327, TASK-1328 follow):
- Hidden-content authoring warning
- Diff view collapse

Parent: PLAN-1322.

* fix(editor): target just-inserted htmlBlock by position + flip from input rule (Codex round 1)

* fix(editor): scan for just-inserted htmlBlock + capture editor in input rule (Codex round 2)

* fix(editor): capture insertion point before insert + walk forward to find new htmlBlock (Codex round 3)

* fix(editor): disambiguate new htmlBlock via before-position snapshot (Codex round 4)

* fix(editor): attrs-aware htmlBlock snapshot — handle replace + adjacent cases (Codex round 5)

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
