Deploy plumbing so Petal can run on the public VPS behind the Traefik
already on that box, with vLLM reached over headscale.
- Dockerfile: node build -> go build -> alpine runtime. CGO stays off
(modernc SQLite is pure Go), so the runtime layer exists only for
ffmpeg (read-aloud transcodes Piper's WAV) and tzdata (the companion's
bedtime nag and night mode read the local clock). Runs as uid 10001
with /data as the single writable mount.
- docker-compose.yml: Traefik labels following this host's convention
(external `traefik` network, `web-secure` entrypoint, `default` cert
resolver). Petal publishes no host port. ./data is a bind mount, not a
named volume, so the nightly backup and a restore are reachable from
the host.
- Piper runs as two sibling containers rather than host systemd units.
The plan assumed Piper was already installed on the VPS; it is not,
the host has no lingering user session to keep user units alive, and
containers keep the TTS ports on an internal network unreachable from
anywhere but Petal. One image, voice chosen per service, model cached
in a shared volume -- so the pt-PT voice is a new service, not a new
image.
- db.Backup + a `-backup` flag: VACUUM INTO, not a file copy. Petal runs
in WAL mode, so the newest committed pages may live in petal.db-wal;
copying the three files separately can capture a torn mid-checkpoint
state. VACUUM INTO reads one coherent snapshot without taking a write
lock, and emits a single file with no -wal/-shm companions. Refuses an
existing destination so a failed run can't destroy the last good
backup.
- deploy/backup-petal.sh: nightly snapshot, compress, push to millenia
over headscale with a post-transfer size check, prune both sides.
- deploy/petal.env.example: LLM_TIMEOUT raised 30s -> 90s for the
WAN+VPN round trip, since the voice and collocation passes send a
whole document and the timeout is a hard deadline on Complete.
Petal ran as a single hardcoded user, with db.LocalUserID named directly
at ~35 query sites. That made the caller's identity a compile-time
constant scattered across every package — nothing a real login could
replace without touching all of them.
New internal/auth moves it into the request context:
- Middleware(Resolver) resolves the caller once per API request
- handlers read auth.UserID(r.Context()) instead of naming a user
- Resolver is the seam an Authentik session check drops into
- StaticResolver(db.LocalUserID) keeps Petal single-user today
Behavior is unchanged. UserID returns "" rather than panicking when the
middleware is absent, so a mis-wired route fails closed: every query is
WHERE user_id = ?, which then matches nothing.
main.go splits /api into a public group (/health, /version) and an
authenticated group for everything else — a monitoring probe must not
need a session.
Two pre-existing access-control gaps fixed while threading, both
harmless with one user and not with two:
- setStatus (accept/dismiss) updated a suggestion by bare id with no
ownership check at all
- listForDoc/fetchPending read a document's suggestions by doc_id
alone; a suggestion quotes the sentence it corrects, so that leaked
the source prose
Both now scope through documents.user_id.
Tests: internal/auth covers the context round-trip, the absent-context
case, and both 401 paths. Two-user isolation suites in docs and
suggestions mount the same routers twice behind two resolvers over one
database and assert a stranger gets 404 on every id-taking path, sees
nothing in list/search, and leaves the owner's data untouched.
Those suites earned their keep immediately: docs.fetch gained a userID
parameter but kept binding db.LocalUserID in the query. Unused
parameters are legal Go, so it compiled clean, vet was silent, and every
existing test passed while the lookup stayed unscoped.
Still global, out of scope and flagged in BUILD_PLAN.md: the image store
has no per-user association, and frontend localStorage keys are
per-browser rather than per-account.
Backend:
- Extract shared internal/httputil (WriteJSON/ErrorJSON/BadRequest/
ServerError); drop the triple-duplicated helpers in docs, suggestions,
vocab. ServerError now logs the real error and returns a generic 500 so
raw DB/internal errors never reach the client.
- vocab capture: validate doc_id ownership (blank -> none, unknown -> 400
instead of a leaked FK 500); rune-safe clamp word/gloss/definition/
phonetic/example.
- vocab review(): wrap the read-modify-write in a transaction (TOCTOU).
- /api request-size cap via MaxBytesReader middleware (2 MiB), exempting
/api/images (own 10 MiB limit).
Frontend:
- StatusBar: drive the checking/voicing/collocating indicators from one
array; llmDown uses !anyBusy.
- Slide-overs: new useFocusTrap hook (focus-in, Tab trap, focus-restore)
on GardenPanel + HistoryPanel, both role=dialog/aria-modal/aria-label.
- speech.ts: export stopSpeech(); GardenPanel cancels audio on unmount.
Tests: add doc_id-validation and field-clamp coverage; full suite green.

Phase 12 — collocation coach: a third suggestion family for gentle
"natives usually say…" hints on non-native word pairings, reusing the
existing runPass/pendingScope/rail machinery.
- llm/collocation.go (RunCollocation, 25s floor, reuses ParseCheckpoint)
+ collocationSystemPrompt/CollocationMessages (warm, Mandarin gloss,
defers grammar/spelling to the grammar family)
- migration 0005 rebuilds the suggestions table to extend the type CHECK
(SQLite can't ALTER a CHECK)
- collocationScope + CollocationLimit + POST /{id}/collocation
- fix: grammarScope was `type != 'voice'` and would wipe the new
collocation flags; now `type NOT IN ('voice','collocation')`
- frontend: --color-blossom, "Make it sound natural 🌸" pill,
collocating/runCollocation in useCheckpoint, StatusBar dot
Phase 13 — vocabulary garden: capture looked-up words and surface them
for gentle spaced repetition.
- new internal/vocab package: migration 0006 (vocab_words, SM-2-lite
columns, doc_id ON DELETE SET NULL, UNIQUE(user_id,word)),
scheduler.go (Leitner ladder 1/3/7/16/35 then geometric; gentle
"again", no streak-shaming), handlers (capture-upsert/list/due/
review/delete, owner-scoped, SQLite-side datetime math)
- auto-capture on word lookup (dictionary-known words only, captures
the surrounding sentence + doc_id) + 🤍/💚 toggle on WordCard
- GardenPanel: blossom grid (bloom by reps), flashcard review (sentence
blanked, flip, again/good/easy, recognition↔production), sleepy-kitten
footer; opened from a global 🌷 header button
Tests: TestCollocationPassCoexists, vocab scheduler + handlers, db CHECK
extended. go build/vet/test + tsc + vite + vitest (51/51) clean;
migration verified against a copy of the live DB; live backend smoke
walked the full vocab lifecycle + the warm-502 collocation path.

Replace the browser's robotic Web Speech API (espeak on Chromium) as the
primary read-aloud path with server-side Piper neural TTS, served by petal
and kept fully offline on millenia next to Ollama.
- internal/tts: proxy short passages to Piper, transcode WAV -> mp3/opus via
ffmpeg, content-addressed disk cache (instant re-taps). Each Piper instance
loads one voice, so language routes to its own endpoint:{voice}. Unknown
language -> 404 so the client falls back to Web Speech. UTF-8-safe truncation
for multibyte (Chinese) text.
- config: TTS_ENDPOINT / TTS_ENDPOINT_ZH / TTS_VOICE_EN / TTS_VOICE_ZH /
TTS_CACHE_DIR / TTS_TIMEOUT / TTS_AUDIO_FORMAT. Route mounts only when
TTS_ENDPOINT is set; otherwise unchanged behavior.
- web/audio/speech.ts: speak() hits /api/tts first, falls back to Web Speech on
any failure; rapid-tap-safe via a request token. Call sites unchanged.
- deploy/: Piper user systemd units (EN :5005, ZH :5006), setup script, README.
English (en_US-amy-medium) and Chinese (zh_CN-huayan-medium) are both live.

Two editor features that were in flight alongside the sound work:
- FontSize TipTap extension (rides on textStyle) with Small/Normal/Large/
Title presets in the toolbar; StatusBar + CSS support
- Image handling: internal/images handler, upload route + config, client
API, EditorCore wiring, and md/html/docx export support for images

Cross-document FTS5 search (trigram tokenizer for EN + space-free CJK, kept in
sync by triggers, back-filled from existing docs). GET /api/search uses the FTS
index for queries >=3 runes and a LIKE fallback for 1-2 (so 2-char Chinese words
resolve); snippets are built in Go with rune-aware boundaries and sentinel
highlights.
Tags: user-scoped tags + document_tags join (both cascade), idempotent
create/assign, per-tag doc counts. Doc list and search carry each doc's tags
(one tagsByDoc query). Frontend: useTags, TagChip/TagPicker/SearchBox, rewritten
DocList with chips + filter bar + search.
Tablet/touch: responsive sidebar drawer (hamburger + scrim <768px), coarse-
pointer tap targets, tap-to-open + outside-pointerdown-close for suggestion
cards.
Warm LLM-down state: useCheckpoint llmDown flag drives a gentle bilingual
StatusBar note (writing still saves locally).
Migration 0004 (tags + FTS). Tests: tags lifecycle, search EN/CJK/LIKE/update-
reindex. go build/vet/test, tsc, vite all clean; verified live on deployment host.

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.

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.

Companion: bump the corner mascot ~12% (128→144) and make animation
resolution robust — fall back to the idle clip when a mood has no clip of
its own, and pin the always-asleep cat to one pose so its Lottie never
reloads. This stops a bare emoji from replacing the cute companion on idle.
Update notifications: serve a build id at /api/version (a hash of the
embedded dist/index.html, which changes on every frontend deploy). The
client records its load-time id, polls every 90s (and on tab focus), and
floats a Mandarin-first "new version available" banner offering a refresh
when the id changes.

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.

Backend internal/docs: chi sub-router (list/create/get/update/delete)
mounted at /api/docs, scoped to the local user. Create uses RETURNING;
update is a COALESCE partial-update so rename and full editor save share
one PUT. JSON 404/400 errors; handlers_test.go walks the lifecycle.
Frontend: api/client.ts, useAutoSave (1.5s debounce + saveNow flush
before doc switch), EditorCore (Tiptap StarterKit/Underline/TextAlign/
Placeholder/CharacterCount) + Toolbar, DocList/DocListItem, StatusBar,
and an App.tsx that orchestrates load/select/create/delete with
optimistic sidebar patching. content + content_text + word_count are
emitted together on every edit. .petal-prose styling (Lora body, Nunito
headings).
Verified: tsc clean, vite build, go build, full CRUD smoke test incl.
CJK title round-trip and SPA serve.
