The site separates bands with an edge-to-edge line, and it was `index < sections.length - 1` — not a
decision anybody could make. Two bands that belong together, a heading beside its picture and the
carousel that continues it, read as two pages with a rule between them.
Putting both in ONE band does not solve it: a band is one row, so a full-width strip inside a
two-column band overlaps the other column. What was wanted was never one section; it was no line.
A checkbox rather than a field in the draft, because it is a switch — there is nothing to debounce, and
waiting 600ms to watch a line disappear reads as the control not working. Labelled by what it does
rather than as `divider`, which is the column name and says nothing about what you will see.
Still never on the last band: a line above the footer is the footer's own border, twice.

Removing `chooseCover` cut the wrong span and left an orphan `});` behind. Bun's parser refused the
file, `rebuildFrontend()` failed at every boot, and the server went on serving the last bundle that
built — 14:23. Every plugin change after that reached the disk, was merged, was restarted, and never
reached a browser.
Which is why the template preview looked unfixed twice: the fix was live on the server and absent from
the page. The symptom of a failed frontend build is not an error anywhere a person looks — it is the
previous build, working perfectly, being wrong.
Also fixes a choice with `kind: null` — one that is not built yet — being filtered out by a list that
only knows about the kinds that are.

The builder loaded the template's own slug — `/collection` — which is not an address, so the frame
showed a 404 while the same arrangement rendered perfectly at /collections/70s in a tab. The page was
fine; the preview was asking for the wrong URL.
It previews an instance now: whichever the server names in `preview_slug`, the first of whatever the
template draws. Which row it is does not matter and deliberately is not a choice — a template IS the
arrangement, and the point of the preview is to see the arrangement with something real in it.
Null when there is nothing to draw yet, which shows as an empty preview rather than a broken one.

`collection-cover` draws the FIRST photograph in the gallery, large, beside the words — the shape the
client's sitemap draws. Not a second way to choose one: a gallery is ordered and reordering it is how
the lead changes, which is the rule everywhere else here.
The five subject blocks are places-only, like the contact form and the partner row. They hold nothing
at all — what they draw is the collection the URL names.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
`/collections/amadoras-mythology` and `/collections/70s` are the same page with a different subject.
Building each would be absurd; hard-coding the arrangement would put it out of reach of the admin. So
the arrangement is built once — a template page, composed exactly like any other — and every
collection is drawn through it.
Four blocks read the subject: its name, its description, its specs, its photographs. They hold nothing
at all, not even a reference. `collections` holds no content because the list is a query; these hold
none because the subject is the URL, and the same block draws a different collection on the next
request.
Offered only on a template, and HIDDEN rather than disabled elsewhere. A greyed-out row invites "why
not here", and the answer — this page has no subject — is not something a tooltip fixes. Available and
silently drawing nothing is the worse failure.

A collection named its own main picture. A gallery is already ORDERED — somebody drags it into the
sequence they want — so "which one leads" was being answered twice, in two screens, by two mechanisms
that could disagree. Reordering a gallery and then wondering why the card had not changed was a bug
waiting to be filed.
So the grid here decides nothing at all. It is what the collection SHOWS, in the gallery's order, and
the pictures are no longer buttons: making them look pressable would promise a control that lives in
another screen. Adding, reordering and framing all belong to Galleries, and now so does this.
The `cover` column is gone from both databases.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A gallery could be created and deleted and not renamed, so fixing "Collections - 70´S" meant deleting
it and choosing its photographs again — which would also have detached the collection pointing at it.
Renaming writes the NAME and nothing else. Everything that references a gallery references its id —
`collections.gallery_id`, and a gallery block's `content.galleryId` — and nothing renders through the
slug, so a rename cannot break a reference today. The slug is left alone anyway, because it is an
ADDRESS: it can end up in a link somebody sent, and on the day something does resolve by it, a label
having quietly moved it would be a very hard bug to find.
The row says so while you are typing rather than afterwards, because somebody about to change a name
is exactly who wonders whether the address moves with it.
A gallery whose slug is genuinely wrong is a different act with different consequences, and it should
look like one. The API already takes them separately.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The collection id lives in the URL, so it outlives the row. Delete one with it open — or have somebody
else delete it — and the address still asks for it, which made the media fetch 404 and put "Not found"
across a panel that was otherwise working perfectly. An error about the URL, phrased as an error about
the server.
Now a selection naming nothing is quietly removed from the URL. There is nothing anybody could do
about it and the correct state is simply "nothing selected".
The error is also cleared when the selection moves. It was only cleared on the next failure, so a
message from the last collection stayed up over the new one and read as this one having failed too.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The version before this made a collection out of every folder under originals/COLLECTIONS/. It kept
the disk and the database in step for free, and it also let whoever last tidied a directory decide the
website's structure. A collection is editorial: it exists because somebody made it, named it and put
photographs in it.
Its photographs are a GALLERY — the feature that already means "a named, ordered set of media", with a
picker and an order somebody dragged into place. A collection points at one rather than growing a
private copy, so ordering stays maintained in the one screen that owns ordering, and the same set can
appear in a collection and on a page without being chosen twice.
That is why the grid here is not draggable and has no Add: both belong to Galleries. What is decided
HERE is which photograph leads, because that is a fact about the collection rather than about the set.
Creating is a name and a button under the list it adds to, and it selects what it made — a dialog for
one field is a dialog nobody thanks you for. Deleting removes the collection and never the
photographs, which the button says out loud rather than leaving somebody to find out.
Changing the gallery clears the cover. The new set is different photographs, so a cover chosen from
the old one is a path that may not be there, and falling back silently would be a choice quietly
reverting itself.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Collections, above Galleries and Media, where the other things made of media already are.
There is no Create button and no Delete, and that is the design rather than an omission. Which
collections exist is a question about `originals/COLLECTIONS/`, so making one means making a folder —
in Media or in Finder, and both work. A Delete here would either drop the row and leave the
photographs, so the collection reappears on the next read, or delete somebody's pictures. Neither is
what Delete should mean in an admin.
The grid is for choosing the MAIN photo and nothing else. The photographs are already in filename
order and the gallery is the folder, so there is nothing to reorder and nothing to add — the one
decision is which picture leads. Pressing the chosen one again clears it, which is how "no choice, use
the first" stays reachable without a second control that only does that.
The badge says Main rather than Cover because it has to be true of the first photograph, which leads
by default, as well as of one somebody picked.
The fields are the other half — everything a directory cannot tell you: the name it goes by, the
address, and the specs from the client's sitemap. `folder` is shown and not editable, and the API
refuses to write it: it is an address, and renaming one moves files. Shown anyway, because it is the
only thing that says WHICH folder a collection is.
One draft, one save. Per-field writes would be eight requests for somebody filling in a form, and the
last to land would win in an order nobody controls.

The first block whose content is a QUERY rather than something somebody typed. It stores nothing at
all: a page holding "the collections" must not also hold a copy of which collections there were, or
adding one tomorrow would mean remembering to edit every page that lists them.
That makes it a places-only kind alongside the contact form and the partner row — one click to add, no
editor behind it. The hint says "every collection" rather than naming a picker, because there is
nothing to pick.
Gallery, Drops and Collabs all want the same shape. This is the one that decides it.

It moved out to the panel's bar beside Build and Publish, and then the bar was removed — so for the
last few days there was no way to start a media sync from anywhere in this admin. The API route was
fine the whole time; nothing pressed it.
Quieter and worse: `SyncButton` is the only caller of `useMediaSyncFeed`, so with it unmounted the
progress card in Administration was not being polled either. It would have sat there through a running
sync showing nothing.
Back beside the two folders it operates on, which is where it was before and where somebody looking
after the media already is. Under the status line rather than beside it — that line runs to two clauses
and a button sharing the row would move as the counts changed.
Sync, Build and Publish still want a home of their own where all three are to hand without opening
Administration. This is the one that could not wait for it.

The panel frames a 21:9 header in a 200-pixel thumbnail while the real one is on screen six inches
away, in the layout it belongs to. Dragging the picture itself is the obvious control, and until now
it was also the expensive one: every new rectangle made the site cut a fresh ladder — nine widths, two
formats, 1.54s measured — with the preview waiting for it.
Both halves are gone. The site draws the rectangle in CSS in development (previous commit, other
repo), so a framing costs nothing to show; the drag here is inline styles on the picture, and the only
write is one PATCH when the hand stops.
Inline styles rather than the site's custom properties, because the site renders a FRAMED picture one
way and an untouched one another — and an untouched photograph is exactly the one somebody is about to
drag. Inline beats both, and beats the object-fit the unframed path leaves behind, which would
otherwise crop the picture a second time inside a box that is already the crop.
Attached to every shaped photograph rather than to the selected one. Selection would put itself in the
paint's dependencies, so choosing a block would repaint the whole page's chrome; this way onDocument
still depends on the sections alone. The cost is that a click could become a nudge, so nothing moves
until the pointer has travelled 3px — below that it is a click, it selects the block, and no crop is
written.
The panel's zoom buttons now reach the real picture too, through `onDraft`. Otherwise the thumbnail
and the page would disagree for the 600ms until the debounce lands, which reads as a broken control
rather than a delayed one.
crop.ts is new and is the reason this is safe: parseCrop had already been copied once, and a crop that
means one thing in the panel and another on the page is a bug you can only feel. MediaField now draws
its own preview through the same `rectToBox`.

The site's shell is min-h-dvh so a short page puts its footer at the bottom of the
window. Measuring it then asks the frame how tall the frame is, and the answer is
whatever it already was.
So the minimum is neutralised by a stylesheet injected into the frame, and what is
left is the height of what is on the page.
The cost, stated: the preview does not show a footer pushed to the bottom of a
window, because it is not a window. It shows the page ending where it ends.

Whichever it is: Administration is the one row a member never sees, so the row
that ends the group depends on who is looking. Naming it would put the line back
for everybody else.

Selecting a band showed its name and title and nothing about what was in it — so
adding a block to the thing you were looking at meant going back out to the page.
BandBlocks is that list, used by the band's editor and nested under every band in
the page's structure. Same list, same actions, one component; the galleries panel
taught that lesson once already.
Blocks reorder within a column now. Across columns is the same call — the write
carries the column — but a list per column has no gesture for crossing between
them, and inventing one here would be guessing.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adding a block means choosing which column it goes in, so a flat list cannot
express it. A one-column band shows one button and a two-column band shows two —
and a band with one column never has to answer a question it has no answer to.
The blocks are links, like everywhere else: pressing one opens its editor.
That is the last of the four actions the painted-on bars used to carry.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add, delete and reorder a band. Those three were reached from a bar painted onto
the page until the overlays went, and have had no door since.
Shown when nothing inside the page is selected — after the band and the block,
because those are things you opened deliberately and this is what is there when
you have not.
The nav lists the same bands and is for GOING somewhere; this is for changing what
the page is made of. Two verbs on the same nouns, and mixing them would mean a nav
row that sometimes navigates and sometimes deletes.
Same reorder gesture as pages, gallery items and partners.

Three versions of this now, and the reasons are worth keeping.
key={reloadToken} replaced the ELEMENT, so the panel went white between
documents. contentWindow.location.reload() kept the element but did not reliably
re-fetch. A changing src does both: the browser navigates the same element — so
it keeps painting the current document until the next commits — and the URL
differs, so nothing is served from cache.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The frame carried key={reloadToken}, so a reload was a NEW element: React
unmounted the old one and the panel went white until the next document arrived.
After a crop change that is not instant — the site is asking av-club for a fresh
ladder — so every framing adjustment flashed an empty panel, which reads as the
preview breaking.
A browser keeps painting the current document while the next is being fetched. So
the element stays and the frame is navigated instead. Same origin through the dev
proxy, which is what makes contentWindow reachable.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
MediaField is controlled: it reports every pointer move and draws what it is
handed back. Wired straight to the block, that was a PATCH and a full reload of
the preview per move, and the page went white while somebody dragged.
The drag runs against local state now — instant — and the write is debounced by
useAutosave, the same hook every other control here uses.
The reset effect keys on the url and the shape, not on the crop. Keyed on the
crop it would fight the drag: the parent's value is the last SAVED one, so every
move would snap back until the save landed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
With a shape set, MediaField replaces the plain thumbnail: it draws the picture
in that shape and lets somebody drag and zoom to say which part shows. It already
did all of that — it needed the block's crop and the aspect.
Without a shape there is nothing to frame into, so the thumbnail stays and there
is no framing control that would do nothing.
Changing the shape clears the crop. A crop is a rectangle OF a shape, and keeping
it would frame the new one by numbers chosen for the old.
One SHAPES table, because three things have to agree: the options, the float
stored as content.ratio, and the Tailwind aspect MediaField frames into.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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

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
one showed the previous block's words under the new block's title.

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

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.

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.

Home has no grip, and dropping onto it is refused — hiding the handle alone
would still let something be dragged above the site's front door.
Every preview now reloads on the change channel, not just the page builder's own
writes. The Layout preview draws the top menu and had no reload token at all, so

The grip drags and the row is the drop target — a Link is draggable by default
and drags its URL, so making the row itself draggable fights the browser for what
the gesture means.
The list rearranges as the pointer crosses a row rather than on drop, and the
write happens once at the end: PUT /pages/order takes the whole set, because an
order is a property of the set.
/fofos-admin/pages was a list of cards beside a nav that already lists the pages.
Two lists of the same thing, and the one you were looking at was never the one

Top Menu, Content and Footer were a hierarchy the screen does not have — all
three are edited by the same controls at the same time, so clicking one changed
the URL and nothing else.
The pages were announced by PagesPanel and only by PagesPanel, which mounts when
Pages is open. So they were invisible in the nav until you had already been to
the page that lists them. The nav fetches them itself when nobody has said yet;
the channel stays, and is still why a rename shows here the moment it is typed.

"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

It reads Default (4xl) at the smallest width and Inherit (2xl) above it. The

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.

Fonts and Font Sizes are the same four things, so they now read in the same order

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

three values and an inline style cannot carry a media query.

it, and the caption was wrong as well — there is no Save to press.
The nav rows are one line now, so they centre.

text-xs was the size of the labels under it, so the three headings read as one
more row of form furniture. Bigger and heavier — weight is the signal that
survives at this density without adding a second thing to look at.

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.

It sat across the top of the detail panel with Sync, Build and Publish — three
things that act on the site, beside one that decides how you are looking at it.
The toggle belongs with the settings it scopes: a spacing is chosen per width,
so the control saying which width is the first thing in that column.
Sync, Build and Publish are unmounted until they have a place of their own.
ViewModeProvider stays; it was never the bar's.

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 frame took all the room the panel had, so a short page left a band of white
under the footer with the measure guides running down through it. An iframe has
no height: fit-content, so the page is measured inside it and the frame follows.
The wrapper, not the body — body is min-h-screen, so measuring it would ask the
frame how tall the frame is.

The platform hands over the whole subtree under the mount. Which paths exist and
what they mean is web/routes.ts.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
Pressing Layout while a band was open gave `?section=layout&band=footer`, so the row for the whole
section led to one part of it. Pressing a section carried whatever the last one had left behind.
Every link built a copy of the current query string and deleted the parameters known to be scoped —
`media`, then `page`, and `band` would have been the third. That is a list of exceptions that has to
grow every time a section gains a parameter, and it fails silently when somebody forgets: the link
still works, it just goes somewhere more specific than it says.
Starting from an empty query string inverts the default. A parameter survives a navigation only if the
link says so, which is one decision at each link rather than a list of everything that must not leak.
So a section row is `?section=x`, and a sub-item is that plus its own `band` or `page`. Nothing else
rides along, including the device and the open tab — both are restored to their defaults by the panel
that owns them, which is where a default belongs.

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.

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.

It sat just inside the left guide, which is on top of the page — over the logo, on this site — and it
is not part of the page. The margin is the one strip on screen belonging to the editor rather than to
the site, so the number describing the measure lives there.
Right rather than left: the eye reads the guide and then the width, so the label is the answer to the
line beside it, and the right margin is the one a wide frame has room in.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two things, both asked for after looking at it.
The tint came out. Shading the margins was meant to say "the page does not use this", and against a
white page it read as a blue background — a colour the site does not have, on the screen that exists to
show the site's colours. The two hairlines say the same thing without claiming anything.
And Desktop is fluid. `width: null` means the frame takes whatever the panel gives it, which is the
honest answer for a device that has no width: a desktop is whatever window somebody opened. 1440 was a
guess that then had to be centred and scrolled inside the panel — a page rendered at one width and
looked at inside another, with dark room either side of it.
Tablet and mobile stay pinned, because 834 and 390 are claims about real devices and pinning them is
the only way the preview can answer "what does this look like on a phone".
Fluid, the frame IS a desktop window: the site's media queries answer the panel's real width, and the
measure guides mark where the content stops in the pixels you are actually looking at.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two hairlines said where the measure ends and left the reader to notice that everything outside them
was empty. The margins are tinted now, faintly, so the unused width reads as what it is — room the page
does not occupy, which is the question somebody widening a gutter or judging a desktop layout is
actually asking.
Faint on purpose: it is absence, and anything stronger competes with the content for the eye. Nothing
is drawn at all when the frame is no wider than the measure, which is the existing early return.

`1 | [1 | 1]`, and the brackets are a real container this time.
Nesting them as a GROUP was the first attempt and looked identical — a horizontal group inside a
horizontal group renders three columns, because that is what it is. All it bought was which divider
moved what, which is invisible until you drag one.
So the pair is a panel whose component hosts its own WorkspaceView, the way DashboardPreview does. It
has its own chrome, its own divider and its own persisted sizes, and the root layout has two children
rather than three: the shape on screen is now the shape in the file.
`useAuthoredLayout` rather than `useDashboardState`, and its own key beside the root's. The structure is
the author's and comes from source every render; only sizes are the user's. Sharing one key would have
the inner and outer trees persisting over each other's sizes.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
`1 | 1 | 1` became `1 | [1 | 1]`, and the nesting is the whole difference.
Three siblings means every divider sits between two of them: widening the editor took from the preview,
and dragging the nav re-proportioned all three. Three panels that could only be sized against each
other.
Nested, the outer divider moves the nav against THE WORK and the inner one splits the work between
looking and changing. Those are the two questions somebody actually has — "give me more room" and "I
need more of the controls right now" — and each is one drag that leaves the other answer alone.

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.

`element.style.margin = '2.5rem 0'` on every section — 40 pixels above and below every band that the
real page does not have. It was there to make room for the band's label, which sat above it.
So the preview overstated the spacing of every page in the site, on the screen whose entire purpose is
to show what a page looks like. It was reported as "there is a lot more space between the logo and the
text in the admin", and that is exactly what it was. I had looked at the component tools, found them
absolutely positioned, and said nothing the editor draws takes layout space. The section margin was two
lines above the thing I read.
The label moved inside the band it names. It is hover-only, so overlaying the first line for as long as
the pointer is there costs nothing — and lying about the layout costs the preview its whole point.
What remains is absolutely positioned or an outline, neither of which takes space. The add-section
zone keeps its margin: it is the editor's own element at the end of the page, spacing only itself.

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.

Top Menu, Content, Footer — the layout IS a page, and those are the only three things on it. They were
reachable by scrolling and by knowing which tab held what; as rows they take the shape the nav already
teaches with the pages under Pages, and the open one is `band` in the query string.
Fixed rather than fetched, unlike pages. A band cannot be added or removed from the admin — only the
code that draws it can — so reading them from the database would be a query that can only ever return
the same three rows in the same order.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

The config is a JavaScript template literal, and the comment added with the /crops/ rename quoted the
paths in backticks. They closed the string, `crops` became a bare identifier, and the plugin failed to
build: "crops is not defined".
What that looked like from the outside is the part worth recording. The plugin did not mount, so every
/fofos-admin call 404'd, so useReady's catch — which deliberately reports "cannot tell" as not-ready —
locked all nine sections behind "Set a root location below to begin." A build error wearing the
costume of a setup problem, and the honest suspicion was that the gate had gone wrong rather than the
thing behind it.
The gate is right. It is one line of a log away from being diagnosable, and the log said so.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The site's crop store was renamed — see its own commit for why the name was wrong. This is the fourth
place that had to move with it: the constant, the development route, the build's copy target, and this
cache rule.
The rule itself is unchanged. A year and immutable is still EARNED here rather than assumed: the
filename is a hash of the original, its stamp, the framing, the slot and the width, so the bytes at a
given URL can never legitimately change.
A site published before the rename carries /images/ in its HTML and no longer has the files behind it.
The fix is a publish, which rewrites every one of those URLs anyway.

Measured from the RUN, not from the press. `startedAt` is stamped by the server when the pass begins,
so the number is right for somebody who opened the modal halfway through, reloaded the page, or was
not the one who started it — the watcher starts runs too. A timer anchored to the click would read
zero in all three cases and be wrong by however long the run had already been going.
It freezes at `finishedAt` rather than counting up beside a finished run, because the total is the
useful number: it is what tells you the next full sync will also take forty minutes.
`tabular-nums`, so a digit changing every second does not shift the words beside it.
Clock skew is the one thing that can make this wrong, by exactly its error — both times are absolute,
so a timezone cannot. The alternative, anchoring locally the first time a run is seen, is exact for
whoever pressed the button and silently zero for everyone else.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The counters said how MUCH and never which file, so a run that was working normally and one that had
wedged produced the same screen: `done` stops moving either way. A photograph is around thirty encodes
and a video is three plus a poster ladder, and none of that was visible from outside.
So the run keeps a transcript and the button opens it.
Every rung reports itself by CONSTRUCTION. Ten `variants.push` call sites became one `add`, which is
the point — a rung added later is described without anybody remembering to describe it. The slow
stages that produce nothing until they finish say so BEFORE they start instead: the HEIC decode, each
video rung, the poster frame. Those are the pauses that read as a hang.
`?since=<n>` is what keeps it cheap. The transcript is thousands of lines and polls once a second, so
sending all of it every tick would be the same megabyte over and over; the client keeps what it has
and asks for the rest. No `since` means everything, which is what a modal opened mid-run wants.
The transcript lives in the shared slot, not the modal, so closing it does not throw away the run —
somebody who looks, closes, and looks again is watching one run rather than two. `startedAt` is what
identifies a run, because `n` restarts at 1 and appending across a boundary would interleave two.
Polling, not a socket. Each line transfers once and the events are seconds apart, so a second
transport to open, authenticate and reconnect would buy nothing.

It sat under the two folders it acts on, which was right while it was a detail of setting fofos up. It
is not one: a stale `derived/` is why a picture is missing from a page somebody is looking at, and the
fix was three sections away in a card about where the site lives. Beside Build and Publish it reads as
what it is — the third thing you do to a site, and the one that has to happen first.
The card keeps what needs room: the progress bar, the failures, the run history.
Shared through `useGlobal`, keyed `['fofos-admin','media-sync']` — a slot in the app-wide query cache,
so no provider has to wrap the bar and the panel together and a third reader is one line. Not a
context: this codebase has one for Save because a SECTION owns that state and announces it upward.
Nobody owns this one; it is a fact about a folder, which is what a keyed slot is for.
`useGlobal` shares the value and not the work, so the fetching is a separate hook with exactly one
caller — the button. The bar is mounted whenever the plugin is open and the Administration card is
mounted only sometimes, so the thing that is always there is the thing that asks. Two callers would
poll the same endpoint twice a second.
Gated on `rootSet`, not `ready`: sync reads a folder on this machine and never speaks to fofos.

publish-crop has emitted AVIF for cropped placements since it was written, and `render()` has returned
<picture> sources for them. The older derived ladder — which serves every UNCROPPED photograph, every
square thumbnail and every video poster — was WebP only. This closes that, so the site has one answer
about what formats it ships rather than two.
Measured on a 256px gallery thumbnail, from the master, no generation loss: 18,186 bytes as WebP at
quality 74, 14,381 as AVIF at matched quality. Around 20% on every photograph, which is the reason to
build a second file per rung — not the seven kilobytes it happens to save on one page.
The two quality numbers are publish-crop's own, so the site encodes one format pair rather than two
opinions about what AVIF is worth.
Not for a drawing. `lossless` is chosen by prefersLossless for line art, where WebP's lossless mode
beats any lossy encoder — the note there records a logo whose lossy rung came out two and a half times
the size of the original. AVIF is a second lossy answer to a question already settled, so it is not
asked, and those ladders carry no sources and render exactly as they did.

`WEBP_QUALITY` (82) is what a rung is worth when somebody opens it and looks at it. Nobody opens a
poster: it fills the frame for about a second and is then covered by the video it belongs to. Paying
photograph quality for that is paying for a second that ends.
Measured on the same pixels with the same encoder, at 768 wide: 22,906 bytes at 82, 17,738 at 74. That
is 23% off the Largest Contentful Paint for a difference nothing is on screen long enough to show.
Not lower than the small rungs use. It IS the LCP, so its first impression is the page's, and 74 is
what every thumbnail on the site already ships at — measured further down, 68 and 62 buy 1.2 and 2.7
KB more and start costing something a still frame will show.

They were never in CONTENT_TABLES, so publish copied every table it knew about and none of the page
builder's. The symptom is the exact failure this list's own comment warns about: nothing failed. The
copy succeeded, the build rendered production faithfully, and the home page came out as the
empty-page placeholder — because production held the seeded layout and no content.
Parents before children, and first: a section belongs to a page, a component to a section. `galleries`
stays below them because a gallery block names a set by id carried in JSON rather than as a foreign
key — nothing enforces that order, which is why it is written down.
`site_layout` too. Production had no row at all, which reads as "the defaults" and is
indistinguishable from a setting nobody has changed.

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.

A built page is full-bleed now, so each band can draw a separator the width of the window, and each
holds its own content to the measure. `[data-content-column]` is therefore no longer one element
wrapping every section — it is one per section, and appending the drop zone to the first match put
"add a section" inside section one.
So it goes in `main`, with its width taken from a column rather than from a constant: the measure is
Tailwind's `max-w-7xl` and this file has no business knowing that. No sections, no column to ask, and
full width is right anyway — there is nothing to line up with.

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.

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.

Editing one paragraph silently un-aligned the others. A right-aligned line lost its alignment because
somebody justified something else — which reads as the alignment buttons applying to the whole document
rather than the selection, and is not that at all.
THE ROUND TRIP WAS LOSSY IN ONE DIRECTION. The editor emits `style="text-align: right"`; the site's
sanitiser refuses style attributes — one is a way to position something over the rest of the page — and
converts alignment to `class="rt-right"`. That half always worked.
Coming back out, tiptap parses styles and knows nothing about those classes. So a document loaded from
the database arrived with every alignment already gone, and the next save wrote the loss back. Whatever
you set in the current session survived; everything set before it did not.
Converting classes to styles as the editor is seeded makes the two ends symmetric, and the conversion is
the sanitiser's own table read backwards. The comparison in the re-seed effect had to move into the
editor's dialect too, or every load looks like a change: the stored html and getHTML() never match.
`rt-font-*` is not converted, and that is a known gap rather than an oversight — this editor has no font
control, so a stored font class has nothing to become and would be dropped either way. It wants a font
button before it wants a parser.

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.

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.

All of them: the outline, the name, the shape, Delete, the column outlines and the button that adds to
them. A page with four bands was four labelled boxes at rest, and the page underneath was the one thing
you could not see — which is what an editor is for.
A COMPONENT keeps its own hover rather than inheriting the section's. A band with three paragraphs would
otherwise show three sets of Edit and Delete at once, and none of them would say which one it belonged
to.
Opacity, not display, so nothing moves when it appears. The controls hold their space whether visible or
not, and the page does not reflow under the cursor — which in an editor is worse than the noise it would
be fixing.
The outlines moved from inline styles into the stylesheet, because that is the only place `:hover` can
reach them. The section's MARGIN stays inline: it is layout and has to hold whether or not anything is
hovered.
`:focus-within` on both, so a keyboard reaches everything a cursor does.

`rt-justify` has been in the sanitiser's allowlist all along, and styles.css gives it `text-align:
justify` with `hyphens: auto` — hyphenation being what stops justified text opening rivers of white
space between words. Only the toolbar was missing it.
The four are now a list beside the toolbar rather than a ternary chain, and the comment says what it has
to match: ALIGN_CLASSES in the site's rich-text.ts. A fifth offered here would be stripped on save,
silently, leaving somebody pressing a button that appears to do nothing.

Edit and Delete sat permanently at the top-right of whatever they belonged to, on top of the text — and
on a paragraph that fills its column there is nowhere for them to go that is not on top of something.
So they are hidden until the component is hovered, which is when they are wanted and the only time they
are. The outline goes the same way: an editor should show the PAGE, with the handles arriving under the
cursor. One that outlines everything permanently is showing you the editor.
The tools also moved out of the component's corner into the gap above it, so even while visible they are
beside the content rather than over its first line.
The section's Delete gets the same treatment; its NAME stays, because that is what tells you which band
you are looking at, and it already sits above the section rather than on it. A destructive verb does not
need to be on screen at all times.
Done with one injected stylesheet rather than listeners on every node — `:hover` is the one thing inline
styles cannot express, and it is the only reason this file now has a <style> in it. `:focus-within` and
`:focus` keep both reachable by keyboard.
