xarmian 95b6e1b3e8 fix(attachments): a deleted inline image is inert, like the chip beside it
Final review round 5, asked as "what would you most regret merging".

Making the file chip inert on deletion left its sibling behind: the
inline image's placeholder kept role=button and tabindex=0 after a
CONFIRMED deletion, while `retryLoad` refuses from that point on. A
keyboard or screen-reader user got a focus stop that announces itself as
a button and does nothing — the exact dead stop DR-12 names, and the one
I had just closed on the surface next to it. Two surfaces, one object,
and they disagreed.

The semantics now follow the cause rather than being set once at
construction: a transient failure IS retryable and keeps the button, a
confirmed deletion drops role and tabindex and blurs the element first,
so focus is not stranded somewhere no further keystroke can reach.

Adds the image NodeView's first test file — through a real Tiptap editor,
like the chip's, since these are properties of imperative NodeView DOM.
All three cases fail without the fix.

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)

  • 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
