Five article fixes were five clicks, five confetti bursts and five undo
steps. "Accept all Tidy-up (5)" makes them one of each.
The single undo decided the implementation: every replacement goes into one
Tiptap chain, which applies as one transaction and so undoes as one history
event. That only works if the spans can't move under each other, so the
plan resolves every span against the document as it stands and applies them
last-first.
Three outcomes rather than one, because a batch that quietly dropped a card
would be reporting edits it never made: a span she already fixed herself is
settled without an edit (what a single Accept does too), and a card quoting
the same words as one already taken is left on screen, since findRange
would resolve both to the same place.
The control sits on the first card of its kind — the rail can't carry a
category header, its cards are anchored to their own sentences — and only
when the category has company. It is outlined rather than filled: it acts
on cards she can't see from where she's standing.
The tutor prompt said "never mix languages in a single response" and
mirrored the language of the question, so asking in English — which she
does, because she is practising — returned the one explanation surface
that gives nothing in her own language. It now answers in both, pair
language first, halves separated by a blank line.
Which half is the safety net and which is the lesson depends on who is
writing: the pair is (English + X) and Petal is used from both ends, so
the prompt asks for both and says it doesn't know which way round.
The split is a rendering nicety, never a parse the reply depends on: a
half-streamed reply is all one half, a model that ignores the
instruction renders as one block, and nothing is ever dropped.
For the height, the first attempt clamped the box to the room left below
the anchored card so it could never overhang — measured, that gave 176px
against a 442px answer, worse than the 220px it replaced. The card's own
chrome spends ~290px of an 810px window, so "fits below the word" and
"room to read" are not both available. The ceiling is now a flat 50vh and
the overhang is made navigable instead, per item 4: the card reports its
reach like the rail already does, the column grows, and the page can
scroll to the actions below it.
She reaches for her own language mid-sentence when English won't come, and
Petal already handled it: it found the span and rendered it into English. It
just filed the result as a Clarity fix, so the pair model's flagship moment
read as tidying up her Chinese.
The type is now derived from the span rather than asked of the model. A type is
structural, and a model that re-reasons every pass would drift between labels
for a sentence nobody had touched — the instability the last session spent
itself removing. The label the model volunteers is still ignored.
Only the grammar checkpoint can be promoted. A pass with a forced type owns its
family: voice reads paragraphs for tone and its rows carry no replacement, so a
"translation" there would be a card offering nothing to accept.
zh is a different script and counting Han runes is close to certain. The Latin
pairs share an alphabet with English and get none of that, so they fall back to
function words and need two before Petal claims anything — with every word that
is also English left out, even the common ones. The heuristic is justified by
how cheap being wrong is: it changes a coloured pill, and nothing else.
The pill is the one bilingual type name in the rail. Every other type stays
English because those are the terms she is learning; this card's whole subject
is her own language. And it stops truncating its two lines — elsewhere the diff
is a word and the explanation is what she reads, but here the two sentences are
the card.
Two things only the running page could report. The inline underline was
invisible: the decoration carries a per-type class and the base rule is a
transparent border, so a type with no colour rule gets no mark at all. And at
1517×810 with the document list open there is no rail — the margin is 258 where
railEnabled wants 348 — so what she gets is the inline hover card. Item 7 is
written the other way round.
Migration 0015 rebuilds the suggestions table for the CHECK, which makes it the
first one here that could quietly drop her rows; there is a test that carries
every column, both timestamps and both indexes across it.

Surface every outstanding suggestion as a card in the right-hand
whitespace, vertically aligned to the text it flags — so the writer sees
the whole queue at once instead of hovering each highlight. Cards stack
with collision avoidance, link both ways with their highlight (hover/click
↔ soft text wash, driven through the decoration plugin so it survives
edit repaints), and carry the same Accept / Dismiss / Ask Petal actions.
The rail is a progressive enhancement: it mounts only when there's room
beside the editor, otherwise the existing inline hover card is unchanged.
Stacked cards that reach the bottom-right corner tuck behind the
companion mascot (z-order).
When a card is expanded, the Ask Petal bubble now opens with the
Simplified-Chinese translation of the explanation (the English stays in
the card body) instead of repeating the same text twice — a new
POST /api/suggestions/{id}/translate one-shot LLM endpoint, loaded
lazily on open with an English fallback.
Verified live against the local LLM via the uitest harness: rail
stacking, hover↔text wash, expand/Ask Petal, accept-from-rail, narrow
fallback, and the Mandarin bubble.

Conversational follow-up on a suggestion, streamed token-by-token.
Backend (interface-only; handlers never touch a concrete LLM client):
- internal/llm/chat.go: StreamAskPetal with conversational sampling
(max_tokens 512, temp 0.7, rep 1.15, top_p 0.92, stop "\n\n\n"),
reusing AskPetalSystemPrompt + TrimHistory.
- internal/suggestions/chat.go: POST /api/suggestions/:id/chat. One
user-scoped join loads the suggestion + parent content_text;
surroundingParagraph extracts the \n\n-bounded paragraph at from_pos
(whole-doc fallback when unlocated) and injects it server-side.
Streams event: token / event: done SSE frames with JSON-encoded data
so token newlines can't break framing; real http.Flusher per chunk.
LLM-unreachable -> 502 before SSE headers; unknown suggestion -> 404.
Frontend:
- streamSuggestionChat: fetch + ReadableStream SSE parser (not
EventSource, needs POST), abortable.
- AskPetal.tsx: whole conversation in component state (no persistence,
cleared on close), Petal's first bubble pre-seeded with the
explanation, rose/lavender bubbles, CJK font stack on the bubbles
only (Note #17), streaming caret.
- SuggestionCard "Ask Petal" pill pins the card open while chatting
(hover-close suppressed, click-away closes) and widens it to 340px.
Tests: chat_test.go covers streamed-text concat + done event,
server-side context injection on the system message, sampling params,
404, and surroundingParagraph. go build/vet/test clean, tsc clean,
vite build OK. Live SSE smoke-tested against a fake streaming vLLM:
tokens flushed individually through the chi middleware stack, done
terminator, 502 on LLM-down, 404 on unknown suggestion.

Backend (internal/llm): backend-agnostic LLMClient interface + factory
with vLLM (OpenAI-compat) and Ollama (native) clients, each Complete +
Stream. prompts.go holds the checkpoint and Ask Petal templates;
checkpoint.go salvages JSON from model output (brace-matched), enforces a
per-doc 30s RateLimiter, and truncates the doc to a latency cap.
internal/suggestions: POST /api/docs/:id/check runs a checkpoint and
replaces the doc's pending suggestions in one tx (accepted/rejected kept
as history); GET /api/docs/:id/suggestions lists pending;
POST /api/suggestions/:id/{accept,dismiss} resolves one. Throttled checks
return the current set rather than erroring.
Frontend: useCheckpoint (4s debounce, loads existing on open, stale-guard
tokens); SuggestionHighlight renders ProseMirror decorations re-anchored
by the `original` string on every doc change (not stored marks), with
precise textblock-offset→PM-position mapping; SuggestionCard shows the
type tag + diff + explanation and applies the replacement in-editor on
accept; breathing rose checkpoint dot in the StatusBar; fade-float +
breathe animations.
Tests: llm parse/rate-limit/truncate; suggestions full flow + rate-limit
over httptest with a stub client. Smoke-tested end-to-end against a fake
vLLM endpoint (anchoring verified) and the LLM-unreachable 502 path.
