SUGGESTIONS.md (new): the product rationale. Every user gets one
(English + X) pair, X in {zh, pt-PT, fr, maybe es} - bilingual UI in the
pair, type in either language, direction inferred without a detector
(both-dictionaries spellcheck, show-both gloss on collision). Langpacks
keyed by X. LLM-minimalism as a standing principle: the LLM never gates
essential functionality; grammar-lite rules and an embedded
miscollocation list are planned as code-first layers beneath the LLM
families.
MULTIUSER_PLAN.md: all OPEN decisions settled - in-app OIDC (the
parodia.dev VPS hosting plan decides it), 30-day sliding sessions,
allowlist, migration-by-script, image-store ownership fixed alongside
auth, DreamDict imported as a package reading dict.db (module rename
prereq lives in the dreamdict repo), zh stays on ECDICT until compared.
BUILD_PLAN.md: the deferred bucket becomes checkboxed Phases 15-22
(deploy plumbing / OIDC / local-user migration / client-state
namespacing / langpack extraction / DreamDict provider / pt-PT pair /
learning loop + code-first layers) with standing rules: isolation tests
in the same commit as any user-scoped endpoint, LLM-minimalism, and
bilingual aesthetic as acceptance criteria.
OPEN #6 assumed the pt-PT gloss was gated on finding a dataset of
ECDICT's quality. It isn't — dreamdict already covers en, fr, pt-PT and
zh, and its API maps almost 1:1 onto lexicon.Result.
Replaces the data question with an integration one (OPEN #6a): HTTP
service, build-time extraction into Petal's embedded gz format, or
importing the dictionary package and opening dict.db read-only. Argues
for the third — same CGO-free sqlite driver Petal already depends on, no
runtime service, and it deletes ~11.6 MB of embedded data plus the
ECDICT build scripts.
Adds the migration caution that matters most: the zh path is in daily
use, so wire pt-PT/fr first (nothing to regress) and leave zh on ECDICT
until CC-CEDICT gloss quality has been compared on her real lookups.
Phase 0 (identity plumbing) is done; this writes down what real
multi-user still needs and, more importantly, which decisions are
genuinely open. Six OPEN items are flagged for a reviewer to push back
on — chief among them whether Petal authenticates via Traefik
forward-auth or becomes an OIDC client itself, which everything else
depends on.
