Typography.ts rewrites every ' typed in the editor into a curly ’, but both word regexes only counted the straight one. So "aujourd’hui" reached the dictionary as "aujourd" + "hui", neither of them a French word, and one of the commonest words in the language came back wearing two red underlines. Same for quelqu’un, presqu’île, prud’homme. l’arbre only survived by accident, because "l" happens to be a bare entry. withElision, written for exactly this, could only ever fire on pasted text. Both marks are word characters now, and combine() straightens on lookup — the one place every lookup passes through — since the shipped word lists spell theirs straight. Suggestions come back wearing whichever mark she actually used, so accepting a pill never swaps her apostrophe. œ was untokenizable too: U+0152/U+0153 sit outside the Latin-1 ranges, so "cœur" split into "c" + "ur" and the orphan was long enough to underline. 586 œ forms ship in fr.dic.gz and not one of them was reachable. In the dictionary builder, the two cross-product paths added their forms without the NEEDAFFIX check the single-affix paths apply, so a doubly-affixed form that is still "not a word on its own" was accepted anyway — the exact class of error the FLAG-aware rewrite exists to close. PFX and SFX are also separate flag namespaces, and one shared `cross` dict let the second block overwrite the first. Odd-length long-flag strings now stop the build instead of dropping a character and expanding through the wrong paradigm. The pt-PT and Québécois greps were case-sensitive against sentence-cased copy, which let a leading "Actualmente…" through the guard added to catch it. Note: this changes what the expander produces, but fr.dic.gz and pt-PT.dic.gz are vendored and were built with the old behaviour. Both want regenerating on a box that can fetch the upstream .deb, and BUILD_PLAN Phase 24's "pt-PT rebuild is byte-identical" claim re-checked — if those bytes move, the NEEDAFFIX gap was live in the Portuguese list too.

🌸 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.
