xarmian faf9b3734a feat(web): default new collections to Board — schema-aware (IDEA-2274, IDEA-2287) (#1015)
* feat(web): default new collections to Board view (IDEA-2274)

Board becomes the baseline default view for new collections; existing
collections keep their stored default_view (no migration).

- Frontend fallback (settingsDefaults, collection-page defaultMode,
  shareView coerce, initial viewMode) -> board
- Create/Edit collection modals default -> board
- Backend template seeds (defaults.go, templates*.go) list -> board for
  ideas/plans/docs/hiring/interviewing collections (tasks was already board)
- CLI `pad collection create` and MCP mapCollectionCreate defaults -> board
- Curated create-modal presets with deliberate list curation (Meeting
  Notes, Decisions, OKRs) intentionally left as list
- Pin the three list-keyboard-nav pane E2E tests to ?view=list

* fix(web): board default reaches public share page + ItemDetail fallback (Codex round 1)

Codex review found the public share route (s/[token]) derives its owner
default view via a separate `?? 'list'` fallback that bypassed the
coerceSettings change, so settings-less/legacy collections rendered List
on public share pages. Align it (and the pre-init selectedBase) to board.
Also align ItemDetail's inline CollectionSettings fallback (default_view
is unused there, but keep it consistent with settingsDefaults).

* fix(collections): group Contacts board by relationship, not status (Codex round 2)

Contacts has no `status` field, so defaulting it to Board grouped by the
default `status` rendered every card in a single Uncategorized lane. Set
BoardGroupBy=relationship so the board shows real lanes. All other
board-defaulted seed collections have a status field or an explicit
board_group_by (verified: Companies/Conventions/Playbooks/Docs have status).

* fix(web): always serialize ?view= so a List URL survives a board default (Codex round 3)

buildCollectionUrlParams treated List as the implicit URL view and omitted
it. With Board now a possible collection default (IDEA-2274), a List
selection on a board-default collection produced a URL that, when copied or
opened without the sender's localStorage, resolved back to Board. Always
serialize the view mode; add a covering unit test. Verified the pane E2E
suite (URL-equality assertions) stays green.

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
