`PUT /api/nodes/{id}` wrote the whole node, and a field left out was taken as
empty: a rename sent without the body erased the text. The browser always sent
it, which was the other half of the trouble. To rename a document it sent the
body it had — the draft for one open here, a copy fetched a moment earlier for
any other — and without the version it had seen, so a save made in another
tab, on the phone or over the mount in between was written over, kept only as
a revision nobody was told about.
Now `name` and `body`, like the rest, change only when they are sent. A rename
sends the name alone, and for a document open in a tile the `updated_at` that
tile last saw, so a rename of a document saved elsewhere since is refused the
way `:w` is, rather than stamping a new version over it that the next autosave
would then write the draft past. Toggling a space's board sends only that.
The README grew a section per feature and is a good reference, but nothing
said where to begin. docs/wiki now has a getting-started page, a guide that
walks through one day with the workspace and explains each part where it comes
up, and a page per part of the app, each with screenshots of what it
describes.
Three pages are read out of the code rather than written, so they cannot drift
from it: the keys and commands from Help.svelte and commands.ts, the same lists
`:help` draws; the settings from .env.example, which gains a heading for the
vault, trash and history settings so they no longer sit under mail; and the
API from the README's table. `make wiki` writes them, and `--check` fails when
one is stale or a link between pages leads nowhere. `--publish` lays the pages
out for a GitHub wiki: links without `.md`, images beside them, `[[` escaped so
the wiki does not take a command's help text for a link to a page.
The screenshots are taken by `make screenshots`: the debug binary on a
temporary data directory, with a password made up for the run, filled with an
example workspace over the API, and a headless Chromium driven over the
DevTools protocol through the views the docs show. Nothing outside the
temporary directory is touched but docs/images, and the pictures are cut to
256 colours, a third of their size, which a dark UI does not show.
The README opens with the banner, a CI badge, the guide, the features grouped
by what they are for, and six of the screenshots.
