Choose 16:9 and the band gets shorter than the picture — the ratio becomes a slot
shape and the site serves a rendition cut to it, rather than a whole photograph
scaled down by the browser.
`setContent` writes the whole content object, because the API replaces it rather
than merging: a PATCH with `{ ratio }` alone would drop the url.

The scroll ran on `rendered` changing, which is the moment the reload STARTS —
frameDoc still pointed at the outgoing document, so it scrolled the page about to
be replaced and the new one arrived at the top. Every write from the editor did
it: reorder a gallery or a partner, lose your place.
It now happens in onDocument, against the document that has just loaded. The
effect stays for the other case — a different band chosen with no reload — and
keeps its smooth scroll, because there you are watching it move.

The block places the list; it does not hold one. So this edits the singleton and
every page showing them changes together — which the panel says out loud, because
the editor sits inside a block on a page and everything else in that column
belongs to the page.
Same gesture as the gallery items: a grip on the left, live reorder, one write at
the end carrying every id. Two ordered lists, one thing to learn.
A new partner is named from its filename and renamed in the field beside it — the
API refuses one with no name, and asking in a second dialog before the logo has
been seen is a form in front of a form.

GalleriesPanel drew its own copy of the item list — same operations, same routes,
arrows instead of a grip. It is a master list now: which galleries there are,
making one, deleting one. What is inside the selected one is announced to the
editor column and drawn by GalleryItems, which is what a gallery BLOCK already
used.
The device toggle only shows where there is a page to look at. It sets the width
the preview renders at, and Galleries, Media and Administration have none.

Nine items meant eighteen arrows and four presses to move something from the
bottom to the top. A grip on the left, the row as the drop target, and the list
rearranging as the pointer crosses it — the same gesture the page rows use.
One write at the end, carrying every id in order.

Add, remove, reorder and caption, in the editor column. A gallery block on a page
IS a gallery, and being sent to another section to reorder it means losing the
page you were arranging it for.
It reads the gallery itself from its id, so it can be dropped anywhere something
knows one.
GalleriesPanel still draws its own copy of this list. That is a real duplicate
and it should adopt this component — its version has the same operations against
the same routes, plus creating and deleting whole galleries, which this does not.

Inside the band, whole width of main, or whole page width. The negatives are
gone from the padding select — padding is padding again.

React nulls `currentTarget` once the handler returns, and a functional state
updater runs after that — so typing one character into a band's name threw and
took the whole editor panel down.
Three places, all mine from today. Everything older read the value eagerly.

The measure was drawn on Layout only, and this is the screen where things are
placed against it. It also answers the question a negative margin asks: a block
escaping the gutter has to be seen escaping it, against the line it crossed.
Horizontal padding now offers negatives, built from the same scale so there is
still one list.

"Choose media…" and nothing else asks somebody to open a dialog to find out what

editComponent means "edit what is IN this block", and for media and galleries
that is a dialog over the whole screen. Firing it on selection threw one at you
before you had asked for it — those kinds get a button in the settings instead.
Free text keeps opening inline, because its editor is in the same column and
opening it IS showing the settings.
The text editor now only renders when it belongs to the selected block. A stale

Spacing had a link in the chrome painted onto the page and lost its door with the
rest of it. It belongs beside the heading: both are properties of the selected
block, and one of the two is not worth a place of its own to go to.
The page's name and address now show only when the page row itself is selected.
With a band or a block open they sat above an editor about something else and
read as belonging to it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
canEditComponent answers "is there content to type", and a heading is not
content — so the blocks with no editor of their own are now selectable too, and
get the heading alone.
The live draft writes into [data-block] when there is one. A titled component
renders as a wrapper, and writing into the wrapper would replace the heading with
the paragraph as somebody typed.

Name and Title, in the editor column — the band row in the nav had only scrolled
the preview until now.
Both, not the title alone: a form showing one of two names invites somebody to
change the wrong one, and `name` could only be set when the band was created.
Last in the editor's order, so a block or a spacing editor wins — those were
opened deliberately, and the band is merely still selected underneath them.

A fourth level under the open band only — a page of six bands with four blocks
each is thirty rows, and the nav stops being somewhere you can find anything.
Blocks are named by the same list the picker offers, so a thing is called the
same word wherever it appears.
Clicking a block in the PAGE now writes that address too, rather than calling the
handler directly. Both ways of picking a block are the same act, so neither can
disagree with the other about what is selected — and closing it is the band row.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A third level, under the selected page only — every page has bands, and listing
all of them would make the nav longer than the site.
Announced by the builder rather than fetched again: it already reads them to know
what it is looking at in the document, and it mounts exactly when a page is open.
Cleared on unmount, or the nav keeps listing the last page's bands.
Clicking one writes a third URL segment and the preview scrolls to it, keyed on
the render count too so the position survives a save replacing the frame.

A bar on every band, Edit / Spacing / Delete above every block, dotted outlines
around blocks and columns, an add-zone at the end. Look at that and you are
looking at the editor, not the page — on the screen whose whole purpose is
judging the page.
A click selects a block and its editor opens in the panel beside the preview,
where every other control now lives. data-fofos-component stays: it is how the
panel writes a draft into the page as somebody types.
Adding a section, adding a block, deleting either and opening a spacing editor
have no door any more. The handlers are untouched and nothing calls them.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Menu item, address and page title — what the retired /fofos-admin/pages panel
held, moved to the column where everything else about that page is edited.
Above the device toggle, because the toggle scopes what is under it to one width
and none of these three have widths. Read from the URL rather than announced:
they belong to the page whatever is selected inside it, so picking a block must
not replace them.
A changed slug changes the page's own address, so the panel follows it — left
alone the URL would name a page the list no longer holds.

"Inherit (default)" answers a question nobody asked. What somebody wants from
that dropdown is what it is now — and a label that will not say makes them change
the setting to find out, which is the one way to lose the answer.
It reads Default (4xl) at the smallest width and Inherit (2xl) above it. The
stylesheet's own sizes come from the API, which reads them out of styles.css.

The room between a band's columns: gap-8 in a two-column section, gap-x-24
gap-y-10 in the footer. Both were written into the template that drew them.
The canvas now SKIPS a utility nothing has chosen instead of stripping it. The
old rule lied twice — a section's own padding vanished while the panel was open,
and a band with no chosen gap lost the site's default.

A container query on the scroller, once, so a new section is responsive by being
in the column rather than by remembering to say so. Below 320px the two-column
sections stack instead of truncating every select to "Martia…".
Colors stays flex-wrap: three swatches in a two-column grid is 2 and 1.

Fonts and Font Sizes are the same four things, so they now read in the same order
under the same names — Menu, Titles, Headings, Body — from one list.
font_display is the largest statements and font_title is a section heading, which
is the reverse of what the words suggest. The labels say what the reader sees.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A fifth section between Fonts and Spacing. The same four roles the families use,
so a template asks for a role and gets both — and a role used at two sizes on
purpose collapses to one, which was the trade taken over a separate list of text
roles.
The live preview builds the same stylesheet the site renders, because a size is
three values and an inline style cannot carry a media query.

Every field in there writes one breakpoint, chosen by the tabs at the top of the

The line under every nav row, the line under every font select, and the caption

text-xs was the size of the labels under it, so the three headings read as one

A container query, not a screen one: this sits in a workspace panel whose width
is a divider somebody drags, so the window says nothing about the room. Below
240px the icons stand alone and the word is the tooltip.
Every editor section starts open. It opened on one, from ?tab=, which is what
tabs want — these are not tabs, and a collapsed column asks somebody to go
looking for the setting they came for. ?tab= is gone with it.

Icons alone told three things apart by proportion at 12 pixels. Full width, one
of three filled, and the word from DEVICES.
The `size` prop is gone with the bar that needed the small one, and so is the
second copy inside Spacing — the panel header scopes the whole editor now.

The Save button is gone, and so is the SaveTarget context that announced it.
Every screen here is a preview of the thing being edited, so a change is already
visible before it is written — a button then asks somebody to confirm what they
can see.
useAutosave debounces a burst into one request. It takes the unsaved state as a
string rather than a flag, so a failed save is not retried on the next render,
and it flushes on unmount so a section change loses nothing.

The admin declares its routes in the manifest, so /fofos-admin/layout/header and
/fofos-admin/pages/home are real URLs. One reader takes the two segments after
the mount; links carry no query string at all, so nothing leaks between
sections.
What stays in the query is how you are looking — device, tab, view — rather than
at what.

Space between became Vertical padding: space-y hangs its margin below the box,
and the box's bottom border is the separator, so the room never landed above a
rule. The canvas now rewrites both axes on a band.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Top Nav, Sections and Footer each get their own horizontal padding, plus the
one space that band owns: the room under the rule, the gap between bands, the
room above the footer.
The preview marker now names its band, so a change moves one band and not all
three.

The three columns became one select. Which breakpoint it writes comes from the device control above it,
so the value you see is the value for the view you are looking at.
Spacing's settings are per width, so the section has to say which width it is editing — and the answer
must be the one the preview is already showing, not a second selector able to disagree with it.
It reads `?device=` rather than the ViewMode context, and that is not a preference. The editor is a
SIBLING panel: an element built inside the detail panel resolves context where it is RENDERED, so a
toggle handed over would look up a tree with no provider in it and quietly show the default forever.
The URL is the shared state, which means there is nothing to share. Three components read one
parameter, so they cannot disagree, and the preview follows without being subscribed to anything — it
reads the same value. More editor sections can take the control by rendering it.
The bar's own toggle is now the same component. It had its own copy of the options and the handler,
which is exactly how two controls for one thing start to differ.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The heading only. What it does is unchanged for now — the word is widening ahead of the behaviour,
which is the right order: the section is about to hold more than one kind of space, and Padding names
only one of them.
The two headings take the site's own spelling and the shorter word. "Typefaces" is the more precise
term and "Fonts" is the one everybody reaches for; a section heading is a signpost, not a definition.
The fonts go two by two. Four across existed to keep this section the same height as Colours, because
as tabs they shared one grid cell and a taller panel moved everything below it. Stacked sections do not
have that constraint — each is as tall as it is and nothing above it moves — so the reason expired with
the tabs.
What four across cost was the labels: in a panel this narrow every select truncated to "Martia…", so
the row said four times that a font had been chosen and never which one. Two columns give each the room
to be read, which is the only thing the control is for.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three tabs became three collapsible sections in a column, because there are going to be more than
three. A tab strip works while the names fit on one line and degrades the moment they do not — it wraps,
or it scrolls, and either way the set stops being visible at a glance.
`type="multiple"`, so more than one can be open. Tabs enforced exactly one, which is right when the
panels are alternatives and wrong when they are parts of the same thing: the colours and the padding of
a layout are read together as often as separately.
The grid overlay went with them. Every panel shared one cell so the block stayed as tall as the tallest
and did not jump when the tab changed — a real problem that stacked sections do not have, because a
section that is closed occupies nothing and one that is open is as tall as it is.
`?tab=` still seeds which section starts open, so an old link keeps working and lands on the thing it
named.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Colours, Typefaces and Padding sat below the preview and took their height from it — the same trade the
page builder's editors made, and undone for the same reason: this screen exists to be looked at, and
the controls were eating the thing being judged.
Announced through the same slot, so the panel still holds nothing and still knows nothing about what a
layout is.
One thing that does not survive the move: a JSX comment cannot be an argument. The block carried its
own `{/* … */}` above the tabs and it had to become an ordinary comment on the effect, which is where
the reasoning belongs anyway now that the element is announced rather than rendered in place.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The spacing and free-text editors rendered below the preview, so they took their height from the thing
being edited: choosing a spacing shrank the page you were choosing it for, and on a laptop two
dropdowns cost a third of the frame.
They are a third panel now, to the right of the preview. The workspace already knows how to size and
move panels; a drawer was a second, worse layout system living inside one of them.
The panel holds nothing. Whichever panel owns a selection BUILDS the editor and announces it through a
`useGlobal` slot — the two are siblings and neither may own the other, and a provider around both would
mean something above them knowing they exist.
The slot carries the ELEMENT, not a description of one. A descriptor plus a switch would move every
editor's loading, saving and cancelling into a panel that would have to learn what a section is — a
second place that understands the page builder, kept in step by hand. SaveTarget makes the same trade
for the same reason.
The hazard is real and worth naming: an element captures the props it was built with, so the announcing
effect must depend on everything the editor DISPLAYS. The save handlers sit in refs so they cannot drag
that list wider — depending on them would re-announce on every keystroke, and omitting them without
refs would announce a stale one.

The bar offered Edit and View, and View existed to see the page without the builder's outlines and
handles on top of it. It was the DEFAULT, which put a click in front of every arrival at the one panel
whose job is editing — and it put a branch in every painter that did nothing but wait for that click.
So the mode is gone rather than defaulted the other way: no toggle, no `?mode=`, no guard. The clean
page is still one click away and always was — it is the site, on its own URL. What the admin owes is
the editing surface, always.
The left group in the bar stays, empty. The middle one is centred against the BAR rather than against
its neighbours, so removing the left group would let Desktop/Tablet/Mobile drift as the right group
changes width.
The preview's caption stays too. It reads as a duplicate of the device buttons and is not: they say the
width, and it says which SERVER — development, not production — which nothing else on the screen does.

Two rows, one of them marked `soon`, for a distinction that was never the editor's to make. The path
names a real file and what that file IS is a fact about it — the site reads it off the extension the
way a gallery item always has. So the picker asks for a file and stops asking what kind.
`video` is gone from what an editor can create and still legal in the database. Every row was migrated;
one written by something older should still be editable rather than open nothing, which is why the
edit path answers to both.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Both hold nothing, so adding one opens no editor: a dialog with no field on it is a step that exists
only to be got past. The picker itself answers the opposite way for the kinds that DO have a choice
to make, which is the distinction worth keeping.
The canvas draws no Edit button for them either — an Edit that opens nothing is worse than no Edit.
It asks the panel rather than holding a list of kinds, because which kinds are editable is the same
knowledge that decides which editor opens, and that already lives there. Absent means editable, so a
caller that has never thought about it gets what it had.
The Spacing dialog's label became a map. It was two kinds and readable as a ternary, then three and
not.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The picker listed it as `soon` beside Image. It is not soon any more — the set, its ordering and the
carousel that draws it were already built on the site, so the block is a reference to one and the
admin's whole job is choosing which.
`GalleryPicker` chooses a SET and nothing else. Editing what is IN the set stays under Galleries: a
block that could also rearrange its own pictures would be a second place to do one job, and the two
would disagree. No thumbnails — every stored path names an original a browser cannot display, and the
plugin has no way to address a rendition, so the name and the count identify it instead.
Saved on choose, like a video and for the same reason: picking one thing is one act with one outcome,
so there is nothing to draft and nothing to cancel out of.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A Spacing handle on the section bar and in the component tools, opening an editor below the preview —
the same place the text editor goes, and for the same reason: a dialog covers the thing being spaced.
The device toggle picks the breakpoint. Two axes across three widths is six controls, five of them for a
width you are not looking at; this way you switch to Mobile, see the phone, and change the padding you
can watch changing. The site's GUTTER is the exception and shows all three at once, because it is one
axis and one value and it is a progression judged as a whole.
Inherit and 0 stay separate options, and the select names the value it is inheriting rather than leaving
it to be worked out.
Written IMMEDIATELY rather than drafted. A step is one choice from a short list and the effect is on
screen before the menu closes; a Save for it would be a second thing to remember on a panel whose other
verbs already act.
Spacing sits before Delete in the section bar, ordered by how often each is wanted rather than how they
read — the destructive one furthest from where the hand arrives.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A modal covered the thing being edited, which for a page builder is the whole subject: you are choosing
how words sit in a column, and a dialog in front of the column answers a different question. It sits
under the preview now, the way the Layout section's controls already do.
AND THE TEXT LANDS IN THE PAGE AS IT IS TYPED. The panel writes each change straight into the
component's node in the frame, so the loop stops being "type, save, look" and becomes looking. That is
the same door everything else here goes through — the frame is same origin — and it is what the modal
made impossible rather than merely awkward.
The node's children are replaced and the injected tools put back. Those live inside the component and
belong to the admin, so an innerHTML that forgot them would take the Edit button away mid-edit.
Not sanitised while typing. The server cleans on write, so what is on screen can be marginally more
permissive than what is stored — and the difference shows the moment it is saved, which is the right
place to find out.
Cancel reloads the frame rather than restoring the markup by hand. The node has been written into on
every keystroke, and putting it back correctly means remembering what was there before the first one; a
reload is the same answer with nothing to get wrong.
The editor is capped and scrolls, so a long piece does not push the page off the top of the panel.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The picker offers it now, and choosing it opens the media picker rather than a dialog. A video is a
PATH, saved as soon as it is chosen: free text needs a draft because writing is something people do
halfway, and picking a file is one act with one outcome.
Edit means whatever editing that KIND means. The canvas draws one button; which door it opens is decided
in the panel, where the kinds are known — so Edit on a video reopens the picker and Edit on text opens
the editor.
Image and Gallery stay named and disabled. Both are things the site already has.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
It opened the text editor straight away, and I had argued for that: Free Text is the only kind that
works, so a picker offering it is a click asking to be got past.
That was wrong in the way a shortcut usually is. It optimised the state of the app today and hid its
shape — somebody adding a component could not see what a component IS, or that there will be others,
and the day the second kind lands the interaction changes underneath them.
It is also the pattern this admin already uses. The nav lists unbuilt sections as `soon` rather than
hiding them, because a list of only what is finished gives no sense of what the thing is for. The same
argument applied here and I had not noticed.
Image, Video and Gallery are named and disabled. Those three are things the site already HAS — media,
video and galleries all exist as concepts here — which is the difference between saying what is coming
and inventing a roadmap.
The list lives in the plugin rather than the API. The API decides what may be STORED; this decides what
may be OFFERED, and it has to be here because every kind needs a label, an icon and an editor that only
exists in this plugin. A kind the server would accept and this has never heard of is not creatable
anyway.
