The mute toggle, the falling-petals toggle and the chosen companion lived in
localStorage, which is a property of the machine. Now that two people can sign
in to one Petal, sharing a laptop would have meant sharing a mascot and one
person's silence muting the other. Each key is namespaced by user id.
The awkward part is timing: sounds.ts and petals.ts read their value the moment
they are imported, long before /api/me can have answered. Rather than block
startup on the network for a mute flag, a read before the answer arrives sees
the old un-namespaced key -- on a single-writer browser, exactly the right
value -- and setPrefsScope then adopts it into that account's namespace and
tells every reader to look again. Adoption moves rather than copies, so the
first account inherits what was set before accounts existed and the second
starts from Petal's defaults.
The personal spelling dictionary moves further than that: onto the server. It
is built from her own writing, so it should not be readable by whoever sits
down at the same browser next -- but merely namespacing it would have split the
list she already has between her laptop and her tablet, which is worse than
where we started. A table keyed (user_id, lang, word) follows her instead. The
lang is the dictionary's, not hers: an English exception must not silence a
pt-PT flag once the second pair ships.
Adding a word takes effect in the editor immediately and persists in the
background, so the underline goes away the instant she asks. A browser still
holding the old list hands it over on first load, and only lets go once the
server has taken it.

Vendored Hunspell en.aff/en.dic into web/public/dictionaries/en/ (served as a
static asset + embedded in the binary, kept out of the JS bundle). dictionary-en
moved to a devDep — only used to source the files.
- useSpellChecker (App-level, loads once/session): fetches the dict, builds an
nspell instance, replays a localStorage personal word list; addWord persists
and bumps a version so consumers re-decorate. Ambient types in
src/types/nspell.d.ts (the package ships none).
- SpellCheck Tiptap extension: misspellings as ProseMirror decorations (no
stored marks), recomputed on edit / caret move / checker swap. Latin-only
tokenizer so CJK is never flagged; skips short tokens + all-caps acronyms;
exempts the caret word to avoid mid-typing jitter. Reuses mapOffset (now
exported from SuggestionHighlight); wordAt resolves the exact span on click.
- MisspellCard: soft rose wavy underline, bilingual popover with up to 5 nspell
corrections (click to replace) + add-to-dictionary. Closes on outside-pointer,
edit, or doc switch.
Chinese spell check intentionally omitted — nspell is dictionary-based and
English-only; Chinese typos (homophone 别字) need an LLM, out of v1 scope.
tsc/vite/go build+vet clean; live server serves both dict files; nspell
behavior smoke-tested.
