Petal — Build Plan & Progress

Multi-session build. Source of truth for what's done and what's next. Update the checkboxes as work completes. petal-spec.md is the design spec; this file tracks execution.

Decisions locked in (see also memory: petal-design-north-star)

• Auth deferred — no Authentik yet. Seed a single hardcoded local user (id = "local"); keep the user_id column so auth drops in later without a schema migration.
• Copyleaks deferred — needs a public webhook; skip Tier-2 plagiarism until there's a public endpoint. Tier-1 voice-consistency (local) is in scope.
• Traefik/deploy deferred — local dev first.
• LLM: Qwen 3.5 (256K context) on 64GB dual-GPU. Grammar checkpoint cap ~10K tokens (latency guard); voice pass sends whole document.
• Suggestion anchoring: resolve by original string in ProseMirror coords at render time; stored from_pos/to_pos are plaintext offsets for server-side use only. (Spec Note #6.)
• Aesthetic is an acceptance criterion: pretty, warm, Chinese-woman-friendly; CJK fonts first-class.

Phases

Phase 0 — Foundation / scaffold ✅

• git init, .gitignore, remote → gitea.parodia.dev/drwily/petal
• Go module (go.mod), directory skeleton per spec
• internal/config env loading (local-dev defaults; auth/copyleaks fields kept for later)
• Vite + React 19 + TS + Tailwind v4 scaffold in web/ (design tokens in @theme, Google fonts)
• Frontend embedded via web/embed.go (go:embed all:dist) + SPA handler in cmd/server/main.go
• Dev workflow documented in README; .env.example added
• Verified end-to-end: binary serves /api/health + embedded SPA + SPA fallback

Phase 1 — Data layer ✅

• SQLite (modernc) init + migrations (internal/db/db.go) — versioned schema_migrations runner, WAL + foreign keys, single writer conn
• Models: User, Document, Suggestion (internal/db/models.go) — + type/status constants
• Seed hardcoded local user (idempotent on startup)
• Schema includes voice in suggestions type CHECK (full spec schema incl. plagiarism_reports, to avoid a later migration)
• db.Open wired into cmd/server/main.go; db_test.go covers migrate/seed idempotency, CHECK constraint, FK cascade

Phase 2 — Document CRUD + auto-save ← first "it works" milestone ✅

• Doc handlers: list/create/get/update/delete (internal/docs/handlers.go) — chi sub-router mounted at /api/docs, all scoped to local user, partial-update via COALESCE so rename and full save share one PUT; handlers_test.go covers the lifecycle
• Frontend DocList sidebar (create/rename/delete) — DocList/DocListItem, optimistic title/word-count patching
• Tiptap EditorCore (StarterKit, Underline, TextAlign, Placeholder, CharacterCount) + inline Toolbar (B/I/U, H1/H2, bullets, align)
• useAutoSave (1.5s debounce) → PUT /api/docs/:id, with saveNow() flush before doc switch/create
• StatusBar: word count + save status (Editing→Saving→Saved, fades after 3s)
• Keep content (Tiptap JSON) and content_text (plain) in sync on save — editor emits both + word_count together

Phase 3 — LLM grammar checkpoint

• LLMClient interface + factory (internal/llm/client.go)
• vllm.go (OpenAI-compat), ollama.go (native) — both behind interface
• checkpoint.go (30s/doc rate limit), prompts.go
• POST /api/docs/:id/check
• useCheckpoint (4s debounce) + checkpoint indicator
• SuggestionMark + SuggestionCard (accept/dismiss); string-anchoring, not stored pos
• Suggestion colors: grammar=mint, phrasing=peach, idiom=lavender, clarity=sky

Phase 4 — Ask Petal (conversational follow-up)

• POST /api/suggestions/:id/chat SSE streaming; server-side context injection
• AskPetal component, token-by-token render, no persistence
• CJK font fallbacks on chat bubbles (spec Note #17)

Phase 5 — Voice consistency pass (Tier 1)

• POST /api/docs/:id/voice, whole-document, slow cadence / explicit action
• voice suggestion type, honey decoration (--color-honey)

Phase 6 — Design system & polish

• Full pastel tokens, Nunito + Lora + JetBrains Mono
• Shape language, shadows, transitions
• Signature animations (suggestion fade-float, accept confetti, breathing checkpoint dot)
• Distraction-free mode

Phase 7 — Spell check

• nspell browser-side (en-US), vendor dictionaries

Deferred (post-v1-local)

• Authentik OIDC auth + session middleware
• Copyleaks Tier-2 + webhook HMAC
• Dockerfile, docker-compose, Traefik, deploy to write.parodia.dev

Session log

• 2026-06-25: Spec reviewed & amended (voice/grammar decoupled, ctx cap, routes, voice DB type, honey color, string-anchoring). Build plan created.
• 2026-06-25: Phase 0 complete. Go module + chi server, config loader, React/Vite/Tailwind-v4 scaffold with full design tokens, frontend embedded & served by the binary, verified end-to-end. Toolchain: Go 1.24.4, Node 22, npm 10. Next: Phase 1 (data layer) — SQLite via modernc, models, seed local user.
• 2026-06-25: Phase 1 complete. internal/db package: modernc.org/sqlite (pulled go toolchain → 1.25), Open() does mkdir + WAL/foreign-keys DSN + versioned migration runner + idempotent local-user seed. Models with type/status constants. Wired into main.go; tests pass (migrate/seed idempotency, CHECK reject, FK cascade). Verified server boots and writes petal.db. Next: Phase 2 (document CRUD + auto-save) — first "it works" milestone.
• 2026-06-25: Phase 2 complete. Backend internal/docs: chi sub-router (list/create/get/update/delete) mounted at /api/docs, local-user scoped, RETURNING on create, COALESCE partial-update (one PUT serves rename + full save), 404/400 JSON errors; handlers_test.go walks the full lifecycle. Frontend: api/client.ts, useAutoSave (1.5s debounce + saveNow flush), EditorCore (Tiptap StarterKit/Underline/TextAlign/Placeholder/CharacterCount) + Toolbar, DocList/DocListItem, StatusBar, rewritten App.tsx orchestrating load/select/create/delete with optimistic sidebar patching. .petal-prose styles (Lora body, Nunito headings). tsc clean, vite build OK, go build OK; smoke-tested full CRUD incl. CJK title round-trip + SPA serve. Next: Phase 3 (LLM grammar checkpoint).
