prosolis 3cc23b8ea4 The advice arrived in the language she was trying to read her way out of
Reported as "the Portuguese option isn't translating the advice in
English — it's just reprinting Portuguese." Nothing was wrong with
targetFor. It was reading a direction the account could not leave.

learnerPairs held only zh, so SetPair refused learning_pair for pt-PT
and every Portuguese account was learning_en by force. targetFor then
did exactly what it says: explanations follow the half of the pair she
is not learning, which for a forced learning_en account is Portuguese.
A Portuguese document, corrected in Portuguese, explained in
Portuguese, with no way to ask for English — correct behaviour derived
from a fact about the roster that was no longer true.

The note in learnerPairs was written one phase too early to see it. It
said turning a pair around needs a word list and a dictionary reading
into English, and that fr, es and pt-PT had neither. Portuguese has
both. Word boundaries are spaces — the megabyte jieba needs is a
property of a writing system that doesn't use them, not a debt every
pair owes. And the dictionary arrived with dict.db, which reads pt→en
as readily as en→pt; dreamProvider.reverse has been answering that
question since the pair shipped. What was actually blocking the pair a
native English speaker learning Portuguese needs was this list.

So pt-PT joins it, and the pt-PT pack gets the learner copy the control
renders from — each label in the language of whoever would pick it,
since someone on the wrong side of that switch cannot read the side
they are reaching for. fr and es clear the same two bars through the
same dict.db and stay out: their packs carry no learner block yet,
which is a translation question rather than a data one, and the server
should keep saying no until one is written.

Two things that assumed learning_pair meant Chinese, now that it
doesn't. The segmenter gate reads the pair as well as the direction, or
a Portuguese learner would load a megabyte of Chinese word list and
hover Portuguese words at /api/hanzi. And that endpoint's own comment
justified skipping providerFor with a guarantee it no longer has; the
real guarantee was always the caller's — it is only ever asked about
tokens the Chinese segmenter found — and a stray lookup was already
safe, answering a miss with an empty 200.

Tests in both packages. The auth test that pinned pt-PT's refusal now
pins its acceptance, with fr and es still refused; the suggestions test
pins the consequence where it actually lands, which is the language she
reads her advice in.

prosolis 77f284f65c The zh pair's other direction, and a rule pack that mostly says no
`pair_lang` had always been answering a second question nobody asked: it
says which two languages, and every surface built on it assumed English
was the one being learned. That is why hanzi is never tokenized, never
spell-checked, never glossed — correct for a Mandarin native practising
English, backwards for an English native practising Mandarin.
`users.direction` (migration 0016) separates the two questions; a
`zh-learner` pair code would have been cheaper and would have made two
directions of one pair look like two unrelated languages to every query.

Segmentation is what replaces `wordAt` where there are no spaces: a
shortest-path walk over log-probabilities, 232 ms and 14 MB for 188,522
words. The browser gets the word list because segmentation runs on hover;
the server keeps the whole dictionary. Their coverage gates come out
opposite on purpose — the client list is frequency-gated because the
segmentation is measurably identical without the tail, and the dictionary
is gated by nothing, because its only power is to explain and the word a
learner stops on is the rare one.

The 错别字 pack is 24 confusable pairs behind two mechanical gates. One
admits a pair only if the wrong form is not a dictionary word and the
right form is, which is why it refuses 自已 for 自己 — a real error whose
wrong form is a headword. The other asks the segmenter whether the two
characters already belong to two different words, without which 自己经常,
睡觉的时候 and 不知到底 would all be corrupted silently into text still
made of real characters.

Not deployed (this carries a migration), not seen in a browser, and no
account has ever been in the learner direction. The IME composition
guards were in scope and are not done — see BUILD_PLAN Phase 26.

prosolis 69bf3ffde1 Close the door the edge gate used to hold
A security review of the whole repo. The queries were already scoped, the
OIDC flow already did state and nonce and PKCE, the session tokens were
already stored as hashes. What it found was mostly the seam between the
code and the deployment — and one place where the deployment quietly
undid the code.

The one that matters: with any AUTHENTIK_* variable missing, Petal fell
back to resolving every request to the single `local` user. That is right
on a laptop and a catastrophe on a public host, and Phase 16 removed the
Traefik basic-auth gate that used to stand behind the mistake. A typo in
the client secret would have served her journals to the open internet and
said so only in a log line nobody reads. It now refuses to start, guarded
by default for any BASE_URL that isn't loopback.

Then the one that would have been fixed and wasn't: stored images now
serve under `default-src 'none'; sandbox`, so an SVG pasted into a
document can't run as a page on Petal's own origin. Traefik's
customresponseheaders *overwrites*, so the CSP declared in the compose
labels would have silently replaced that per-route policy in production.
The whole header block moved into the binary, where a route can tighten
its own and a test can prove it; only HSTS stays at the edge, where TLS
actually terminates.

The rest, smaller:

  - PETAL_ALLOWED_SUBS empty means everyone authentik authenticates, and
    authentik here fronts half a dozen applications. Still legal, now
    said out loud every boot, and set in both env examples.
  - LLM failures relayed err.Error() to the browser, which carries the
    address of the inference box on the far side of the VPN. Logged
    instead; the client only ever rendered "the helper is resting".
  - Exports scheme-check their links. Escaping makes a URL safe to sit
    in an attribute and says nothing about following it, and an export
    is the one artifact here meant to leave. Writing the test found the
    markdown image src, which I'd missed reading it.
  - The draft rescue is namespaced per account and cleared on sign-out.
    Everything else in localStorage is a preference; this is her unsaved
    writing, sitting in a profile two people share.
  - /auth/logout is POST-only. With SameSite=Lax a GET route lets any
    page on the internet sign her out mid-draft.
  - Image uploads get a per-account allowance and the TTS cache a size
    cap. Both share the encrypted volume the database is on, and a full
    disk is SQLite failing to write, not a feature degrading.
  - The session cookie takes the __Host- prefix over https, so nothing
    else under parodia.dev can plant one. Old cookies still resolve;
    nobody is signed out to get there.
  - npm audit: linkify-it and postcss.

Verified: go build, go vet, the full Go suite, tsc, 195 frontend tests,
npm audit clean. The startup guard and both CSPs checked against a
running server rather than only asserted.

prosolis ccb43e5a4d Phase 21: Petal learns to be an English+Portuguese pair
The plan said "Hunspell pt-PT vendored like en-US". Measuring that first is
what saved it: nspell expands affixes eagerly on construction, and European
Portuguese's 1,340 rules over 44,257 stems want over a gigabyte of browser
heap — ~340 MB for the first 12,000 entries, and no return at all after three
minutes on the whole file. So the expansion runs once at build time instead:
1,039,058 forms, 2.66 MB gzipped, read by the same nspell in 842 ms.

The obvious npm package would also have shipped the wrong language. Both
dictionary-pt and dictionary-pt-br carry VERO, the Brazilian word list, so
vendoring by name puts pt-BR spellings behind a pt-PT label — the drift
SUGGESTIONS §3 warns about, arriving through the packaging where no reviewer
can see it. The source is Projecto Natura's, and the build script now asserts
the fault lines (receção in, recepção out) before writing anything.

Spellcheck consults both dictionaries and flags only what both reject, which
is the no-detector answer to a pair with no script boundary. The word card
does the same in the other direction: "data" is a word in both languages, so
Petal shows both readings rather than guessing which she meant.

Writing the tests caught the one real bug — extendedAlphabet was a snapshot
while correct/suggest read live, and her dictionary arrives after English, so
every lookup would have resolved "cora" while the underlines were already
right.

Not done, and not claimed: the pack has not been read by a pt-PT speaker, and
the Piper voice is deferred with the deploy.

prosolis 74bf600593 Make the dictionary startup line report rows, not capabilities
It logged dictionary.Langs(), which is a compile-time constant of the languages
DreamDict *supports*. The database deployed until today supported Spanish and
contained none of it, so the line printed a confident "[en fr pt-PT es zh]"
over a file where every Spanish lookup came back empty — the exact failure the
line exists to catch, reported as success.

Contents() counts rows per language instead. For a file somebody has to copy
onto the box by hand, "what is in it" is the only question worth asking, and
the answer is now en=136615 es=102971 fr=56096 pt-PT=136300 zh=120883.

prosolis 97e9c269ec Phase 20: the dictionary stops being English and Chinese only
Word lookups now come from DreamDict's dict.db for every pair but Chinese —
opened read-only beside petal.db, no service, nothing over the VPN, because a
hover gloss has to answer in milliseconds.

`Provider` is the two questions the popover and the tooltip already asked, so
the embedded *Lexicon satisfies it with no changes at all; Set.For(lang) is the
single place the choice between them is made. The prerequisite in the dreamdict
repo turned out to be two things, not one: the module path was unfetchable
*and* the query layer sat in internal/, which no other module may import
whatever the module is called. Both fixed upstream.

The plan's central assumption did not survive the data. It mapped
Gloss ← Translate(word, "en", L1) one-to-one; against the real 452 MB database
that table answers for 17% of the 2,000 commonest English words into pt-PT.
Wiktionary's translation sections are thin in that direction — "ephemeral",
"think" and "quickly" have no en→pt-PT row at all. Shared WordNet synsets
answer for 61%, so DreamDict gained Equivalents() and Petal glosses through it.
Ordering those was wrong in an instructive way too: sorting by frequency
glosses "think" as lembrar, "remember", because lembrar is the commoner
Portuguese word even though pensar shares six of think's synsets to lembrar's
one. Counting sense agreement first asks the right question.

The same measurement is why zh stays on ECDICT: DreamDict reaches a Chinese
gloss for 53% of those words, ECDICT for nearly all of them. The plan said
converge only if quality holds. It didn't, so nothing converged.

Two decisions about failure worth keeping. A missing dict.db is not an error —
a laptop checkout has never had one — but a present-and-never-imported one is,
because that is a half-finished deploy. And a pt-PT writer with no dictionary
falls back to the embedded datasets with the gloss suppressed, keeping
definitions, synonyms and phonetics rather than blanking the popover: an empty
field reads as "not found", the wrong language reads as broken.

The new fields surface as an etymology line and a three-band chip. Three, not
five: the difficulty score separates "everyday" from "you'll have to explain
this" but cannot rank obfuscate against serendipity, and a finer scale would be
a confident-looking lie. An unscored word gets no chip.

Writing the tests found two bugs first — trimEtymology sliced by byte, which
would have emitted invalid UTF-8 for exactly the Greek and Latin etymologies
the feature exists for, and its ellipsis path overran its own cap.

go build/vet/test, tsc, vite, vitest 96/96 clean; live smoke against the real
dict.db with one instance flipped from zh to pt-PT mid-run.

Not deployed: go.mod still replaces github.com/prosolis/dreamdict with
../dreamdict, so the Docker build needs the two upstream commits pushed and the
replace dropped. The deployed dict.db also predates DreamDict's Spanish data.

prosolis db737fa612 Editor: Find & Replace, read-aloud, backup, typography, phonetic, org niceties
Writer power-ups (Phase 11), plus the selection-bubble vs copy/paste fix.

- Find & Replace (Ctrl/Cmd+F): SearchHighlight decoration extension +
  FindReplace bar (match-case, replace-all back-to-front, scroll without
  popping the selection bubble).
- Read-aloud (Web Speech, offline) on the word card and selection bubble.
- Keyboard/touch access to the ESL helpers: Ctrl/Cmd+D look up word at caret,
  Ctrl/Cmd+J rewrite selection, touch long-press lookup. Refactored the
  right-click handler into a shared openWordLookup(pos).
- Whole-corpus backup: GET /api/docs/export-all zips every doc (md/docx),
  de-dupes filenames, dated name; sidebar download links. TestExportAll.
- Smart typography input rules (curly quotes/em-dash/ellipsis), ASCII-only so
  CJK is untouched.
- Duplicate doc, sidebar sort (Recent/Title/Longest), toolbar outline popover.
- English phonetic (chosen over pinyin for an English learner): ECDICT-built
  phonetic.json.gz (46,579 words) + Result.Phonetic + WordCard IPA line;
  scripts/build_phonetic.py (full build + --seed fallback).
- Selection bubble no longer blocks copy/paste: deferred to pointer-up and made
  click-through except on its buttons.

prosolis 60eba25fee Phase 9: ESL superpowers — Chinese gloss + tone-rewrite
Inline Chinese gloss (offline) and a "say it more naturally" / tone-rewrite,
the two ESL features for the Mandarin-speaking writer.

Gloss: embedded English→Chinese dictionary (gloss.json.gz, 57k common words
built from ECDICT via scripts/build_gloss.py). lexicon gains Gloss()/Result.Gloss
and a lightweight GET /api/gloss/{word}; the right-click WordCard leads with the
中文; GlossTip shows it on a 350ms hover (reuses wordAt, so CJK is never glossed).
Offline + instant, works with the LLM down.

Rewrite: selecting text pops a SelectionBubble (更自然 + the tone vocabulary);
picking a style calls POST /api/docs/:id/rewrite (llm.RunRewrite, stateless,
owner-scoped) and shows a RewritePreview (original→rewrite, accept/cancel/retry).
Accept applies it in-editor.

Tests added in lexicon and suggestions. go build/vet/test, tsc, vite all clean;
live smoke vs a fake vLLM verified gloss + rewrite + 400/404/502 paths.

prosolis 4c288834c0 Editor: document tone, right-click word lookup, expanded stats
Four enhancements to make the editor fit real school usage:

- Per-document tone (academic/professional/casual/humorous/creative/
  persuasive/general): new documents.tone column (migration 0002), threaded
  through the docs API, a bilingual ToneSelect dropdown on the title row, and
  injected into the grammar-checkpoint LLM prompt so advice fits the register.
  The voice pass stays tone-agnostic.

- Right-click word lookup: a new offline `lexicon` package serves definitions
  (Wordset, modern ESL-friendly glosses) and synonyms (WordNet synsets first,
  then frequency+stopword-ranked Moby for breadth) from gzipped embedded data,
  behind /api/word/{word} with light morphology. The WordCard popover shows the
  definition and tappable synonym pills that swap the word in place.

- Expanded writing stats: clicking the word count opens a StatsPanel with page
  count, sentences, paragraphs, reading time, average word length, word variety,
  and Flesch-Kincaid reading level — all computed client-side.
