Executive summary

This week leaned heavily into editor UX polish, draft lifecycle reliability, and frontend infrastructure. Main themes:

  • Hardening the editor: media block selection, code blocks, image widths, heading drag, prose alignment, formatting toolbar.

  • Cleaning up the draft lifecycle: removal of the draft preview route, metadata refresh, placeholder publishes, autosave anchor preservation, stale data.

  • Fixing comment behavior: deleted-comment flash during peer sync, duplicate comment draft editors.

  • Expanding web app capabilities: document creation menu, daemon auth error mapping, private documents.

  • Extending layout/panel behavior: panel actions inside active tab, breadcrumb section navigation, embed card click behavior.

  • Investing in infrastructure: @shm/reactive package WIP, contributor orientation docs, push/workflow error telemetry, lucide-react migration in Explore.

Main-branch commits authored by Horacio in this window

~60 commits across editor, web, desktop, drafts, comments, and infrastructure. Largest pieces by LOC:

  • @shm/reactive WIP (+1260 / -8, 22 files) — unmerged

  • Contributor orientation docs (+853 / -79) — PR #652 open

  • Comment draft dedup (+523 / -71) — PR #648

  • Web document creation menu (+507 / -13)

  • Editor prose + code block alignment (+444 / -185) — PR #661

  • TextSize / TextFamily annotations and color → value rename (+434 / -39)

  • Push / workflow error reporting (+362 / -18) — PR #686

Follow-ups

  • Land or close PR #652 (contributor orientation guides). It is large and easy to bit-rot.

  • Decide whether the @shm/reactive WIP (LIBRARY + DISCOVERY slices) should be split into reviewable PRs or continue as a long-running branch.

  • Watch PR #684 (formatting toolbar / style popover sync) and verify the editor formatting toolbar feature that landed on main does not regress with the new toolbar mark types (text size, family, color, highlight).

  • Keep an eye on draft lifecycle after the cluster of fixes (#663, #672, #679) — placeholder publishes, metadata refresh, removed preview route — and confirm no regressions for local web drafts.

  • Verify the report caught push and workflow errors telemetry from PR #686 is producing useful signals and not spamming the backend.

  • Confirm desktop draft routing unification in 347a4a0d2 did not break any deep-link or inline-draft flows.
