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.

🌸 Petal
A self-hosted, privacy-first writing editor with warm bubbly design, auto-save, and
local-LLM grammar/ESL suggestions. See petal-spec.md for the full
design spec and BUILD_PLAN.md for build progress.
Stack
Go + chi backend · SQLite (modernc, pure Go) · React + Vite + Tiptap + Tailwind v4 frontend ·
local vLLM/Ollama for AI suggestions. Single-binary deployment (frontend embedded via go:embed).
Local development
Two processes during development:
# 1. Backend (serves /api on :8080)
go run ./cmd/server
# 2. Frontend dev server (HMR on :5173, proxies /api → :8080)
cd web && npm install && npm run dev
Open http://localhost:5173 while developing.
Production build (single binary)
cd web && npm run build # emits web/dist (embedded by the Go binary)
cd .. && go build -o petal ./cmd/server
./petal # serves UI + API on :8080
Configuration is via environment variables — copy .env.example to .env.
Status
Early build, multi-session. Auth (Authentik), Copyleaks plagiarism, and Docker/Traefik
deployment are deferred — see BUILD_PLAN.md.
