nvrl b1107013ee store: one workspace, made of parts
The Workspace class held every piece of client state in one 2500-line
file. It is now a root that composes nine parts, each in web/src/lib/state/:

- tree: spaces, folders, the list, search, marks, and what is done to nodes
- tiles: the tiles on screen, the focus trail, and the views among them
- drafts: document drafts and autosave, and text written in place
- cards: the board, the agenda, the card back, and the card verbs
- diary: today's entry, the calendar, stepping between days
- scratch: the scratchpad drawer and its ways out
- sheets: what floats over the tiles, and what each sheet lists
- vault: the vault status and unlocking
- prompts: the [y/N] question, the password box, Proton's check

The root keeps what belongs to no one part: the session, the status
line, guard, what has the focus, and the focused tile's open/draft/
editing. The keyboard layer still sees one `workspace`; call sites read
`workspace.cards.card`, `workspace.tree.nodes` and so on. Behaviour is
unchanged.

# Development
## Running it from source
```sh
make dev-api # cargo run, serving the API on :4242
make dev-web # vite on :4243, proxying /api to :4242
```
Open <http://127.0.0.1:4243>. The release binary embeds `web/dist`, and a
debug build reads it from disk, so build the frontend once
(`cd web && bun install && bun run build`) for `cargo run` alone to serve the
app. Without it the Rust side still compiles and tests, and the pages answer
"frontend not built".
Point `WORKSPACE_DATA_DIR` at a throwaway directory while trying things, so the
real data stays out of it.
## The code
| where | what |
| --- | --- |
| `src/main.rs` | start-up, the router, security headers, background loops |
| `src/routes/` | one module per area of the API: `nodes`, `boards`, `trash`, `revisions`, `links`, `capture`, `diary`, `media`, `file_text`, `seal`, `share`, `import`, `export` … |
| `src/sftp/` | the SFTP mount |
| `src/backup/` | the Proton Drive mirror |
| `src/mail/`, `src/notify/` | the outbox, and what is worth a mail |
| `src/vault.rs` | the vault's keys and file format |
| `src/sweep.rs` | the daily clean-up: trash, old versions, unreferenced uploads |
| `migrations/` | the SQLite schema, one numbered file per change |
| `web/src/lib/keymap.ts` | every key: where it is heard, what it is called, its help line |
| `web/src/lib/actions.ts`, `modes.ts` | what each key does, and which contexts hear it first |
| `web/src/lib/store.svelte.ts`, `state/` | the client's state: the one `workspace` the keys see, made of parts that each keep one thing — `tree`, `tiles`, `drafts`, `cards`, `diary`, `scratch`, `sheets`, `vault`, `prompts` |
| `web/src/lib/commands.ts` | the `:` commands |
| `web/src/lib/Help.svelte` | the `?` screen |
The database is one SQLite file with FTS5 for search. Every migration is
applied at start, after a copy of the database is kept as
`diary.db.pre-<version>`. Many rules are enforced by triggers as well as in the
code, so no path can break them: a sealed file has no indexed text, a file in a
sealed folder is sealed, the diary cannot be deleted.
## Checks
```sh
make check
```
runs what CI runs:
- `cargo fmt --check`
- `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings`
- `cargo test`
- `bun run check` in `web/` (svelte-check)
The Rust tests run against an in-memory database; most modules have a test
block at the bottom.
## CI
`.github/workflows/ci.yml` runs on every push and pull request:
- **rust**: builds the frontend, so the tests see the app the binary ships,
then format, clippy and the tests;
- **web**: svelte-check;
- **docs**: checks that the generated wiki pages are up to date and that every
link between the pages resolves.
`.github/workflows/wiki.yml` publishes `docs/wiki` to the GitHub wiki on every
push to `main` that changes it, or changes a file the generated pages are read
from.
## The wiki
The pages live in `docs/wiki` and the pictures in `docs/images`. Edit them
there; an edit on GitHub's wiki page is overwritten by the next publish.
Three pages are generated by `scripts/wiki.ts`:
| page | read from |
| --- | --- |
| [Keys and commands](Commands.md) | `web/src/lib/keymap.ts` and `web/src/lib/commands.ts` |
| [Configuration](Configuration.md) | `.env.example` |
| [API](API.md) | the API section of `README.md` |
After changing one of those, run `make wiki` and commit the result. CI fails
when they are stale.
Links between pages are written as `Page-Name.md` so that they work when the
files are read in the repository; the publish step drops the `.md` for the
wiki.
## Screenshots
```sh
make screenshots
```
builds the app, starts it on a temporary data directory with a password made
up for the run, fills it with an example workspace, and drives a headless
Chromium through the views the docs show. The pictures are written to
`docs/images`. It needs `chromium` on the path (or `CHROMIUM=/path/to/chrome`),
and shrinks the pictures with ImageMagick when it is installed.
## Conventions
- One finished feature per commit, with the README, `:help` and the tests in
the same commit.
- Commit messages are `area: a sentence`, followed by prose about why.
- Comments explain why, not what.
