prosolis 466055020f The garden learns which language a card is in, and read-aloud stops guessing
Phase 28 (c), the last of the phase. A word met inside a Portuguese
document is a Portuguese card: migration 0018 mirrors documents.doc_lang
onto vocab_words, set server-side from the ownership lookup capture was
already making. Every card still reviews — filtering the queue to the
half she is learning would drop the words she actually met.

Read-aloud was the larger surprise. detectLang routed Han/kana to
Chinese and everything else to en-US, so the zh pair was accidentally
right and every Latin pair wrong. doc_lang now reaches the client
read-only on the document JSON, and docLang(text, verdict) answers for a
passage taken out of it — with the script test still winning, because
quoted Chinese must never be spelled out one "Chinese letter" at a time.

🌸 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.

Deployment

docker compose up -d --build     # petal + the two Piper read-aloud sidecars

Behind Traefik on the parodia.dev VPS; vLLM stays on millenia over headscale. Full runbook — first deploy, the LLM link, backups and restore — in deploy/README.md.

Status

Early build, multi-session. Auth (Authentik OIDC) is next; Copyleaks plagiarism is still parked — see BUILD_PLAN.md.
