Hard-replaces the 5i projax.views table per m's Q10 pick (2026-05-29):
no real data to preserve after a few hours, and the shape changes are
big enough that a clean recreate beats a 6-step ALTER.
Schema (migration 0017_views_redesign.sql):
- id (uuid), slug (text, format-CHECK'd, UNIQUE), name, icon,
filter_json (jsonb — INCLUDES view_type per m's Q2), sort_field,
sort_dir, group_by, sort_order, show_count, last_used_at,
created_at, updated_at.
- DROPPED: pinned, is_default_for, view_type column. m's Q9 picked
MRU (last_used_at) over per-page-default; Q2 placed view_type
inside filter_json so the JSON owns the canonical render spec.
- Constraints: slug regex, sort_dir enum. NO view_type CHECK — the
JSON-shape validator owns it now.
- Indexes: slug UNIQUE, (sort_order, name), (last_used_at DESC).
- updated_at trigger reused; projax_admin ownership preserved.
Store (store/views.go rewrite):
- View struct: Slug as the user-facing key; uuid kept on ID for the
legacy `?view=<uuid>` 302-redirect path that lands in slice C.
- ListViews ordered by sort_order, name (matches sidebar).
- GetView(slug) + GetViewByID(uuid). MostRecentView() drives the
/views landing redirect (slice B).
- TouchView(slug) bumps last_used_at fire-and-forget.
- ReorderViews([]slugs) wires the column for slice G's drag UI.
- CreateView server-assigns sort_order = MAX+1 inside the tx.
- UpdateView replaces every writeable field; renames are supported.
- Validation: slug format regex + reserved-list rejection +
filter_json JSON well-formed check before round-trip.
- ErrViewNotFound / ErrViewSlugTaken / ErrViewSlugReserved /
ErrViewSlugFormat surface to handlers as the typed error set.
Cleanup of the 5i overlay (drops what the new shape obsoletes):
- web/views.go: gutted to a stub. applySavedView, applyDefaultView,
overlayURLFields, filterQueryToJSON, filterJSONToQuery,
filterFromJSONPayload, anySliceToStrings + every old handler
(handleViewsIndex, handleViewCreate, handleViewWrite, handleViewEdit,
handleViewRedirect, handleViewDelete) deleted.
- web/server.go: dropped the /views route registrations and the
applySavedView + applyDefaultView calls in handleTree.
DefaultBanner data-map field removed.
- web/tree_filter.go: TreeFilter.ViewID field removed; ParseTreeFilter
and QueryString stop reading/emitting ?view=.
- web/templates/views.tmpl and view_edit.tmpl deleted.
- web/templates/tree_section.tmpl: default-banner block deleted.
- web/views_test.go: deleted (every test was against the 5i shape).
Between slice A and slice B, /views/* URLs return 404 by design.
Slice B reintroduces the route family in paliad-shape:
GET /views → MRU landing
GET /views/{slug} → render
GET /views/new → editor
GET /views/{slug}/edit → editor
POST /views, /views/{slug}, /views/{slug}/delete → CRUD
Tests (store/views_test.go, new):
- TestViewSlugCRUD — create / get-by-slug / get-by-id / rename /
delete round-trip, including rename-leaves-old-slug-gone.
- TestViewSlugFormatRejected — uppercase, underscore, leading dash,
length-cap, empty all surface ErrViewSlugFormat.
- TestViewReservedSlugRejected — tree/dashboard/calendar/timeline/graph
and friends all reject with ErrViewSlugReserved.
- TestViewSlugCollision — duplicate slug surfaces ErrViewSlugTaken.
- TestViewMRU — TouchView + MostRecentView ordering against a
controlled pair of slugs (resilient to other suites' touched views).
- TestViewReorder — ReorderViews rewrites sort_order ascending.
Web tests stay green (the 5i overlay tests are gone, the rest don't
touch the views shape).
Closes the Phase 5i implementation chain. When `views.is_default_for=<page>`
is set, opening that page with a "clean" URL (no chip params, no
?view=) auto-applies the saved filter + view_type. A "Showing default
view: <name> · clear" banner makes the swap visible and gives the user
a one-click out. Adding any chip param to the URL bypasses the default;
?nodefault=1 is the explicit opt-out for "I want the bare default tree".
New web/views.go: applyDefaultView gates on the param-cleanness check
+ Store.DefaultViewFor lookup. Resolution + view_type revalidation
mirror the slice D ?view=<uuid> path so a kanban-default opened on a
route that doesn't allow kanban falls back cleanly.
handleTree wires it into the existing slice D else-branch (no default
when ?view= is set). DefaultBanner field passes the applied view to
the template for the banner.
Test:
- TestDefaultViewAppliedOnCleanURL — seeds a tree default with
filter_json={tags:[work]} + view_type=card, then asserts: clean GET /
applies (card grid + banner with the view's name); ?tag=dev bypasses
(forest, no banner); ?nodefault=1 opt-out (forest, no banner).
m's Q6 pick (2026-05-26): kanban groups the filtered set by `status`
(default) / `area` / `tag` / `management`. Read-only — drag-to-change
is parked. Adds the third view_type render on /tree (alongside list and
card from earlier slices); kanban is now unlocked in PageViewTypes("/").
New web/kanban.go owns BuildKanbanBoard + the per-dimension keyer +
column ordering (status: active/done/archived; management: mai/self/
external/unmanaged; area + tag: alphabetical). Within-column order:
pinned-first → updated_at desc → title.
ParseGroupBy + GroupByChips provide the URL-param hookup and the chip
strip rendered above the board. Multi-tag items appear in every tag
column they belong to (deliberate — the kanban surfaces overlap).
Render:
- handleTree builds the kanban board off the same flatMatchedItems the
card view consumes; cost is one extra grouping pass, no new DB hits.
- New templates/tree_kanban.tmpl: header chip strip + responsive
column board (horizontal scroll on overflow). Empty filtered set
surfaces a friendly nudge.
CSS additions cover the column / card layout; existing chip aesthetics
reused for the group-by toggle.
Test updates:
- view_type_test.go: slice B's "kanban locked on /" assertions tightened
to "kanban unlocked; calendar + timeline still locked on /" — slice C
is the unlock event for kanban.
- New kanban_test.go: per-dimension grouping (status, tag, area),
pinned-first ordering, parser fallback.
- server_test.go: end-to-end render — GET /?view_type=kanban produces
kanban-board markup + group-by chip strip; forest absent.
m's Q1+Q3 picks (2026-05-26): five canonical view_types
(card/list/calendar/kanban/timeline). Slice B introduces the parameter and
the first non-default rendering: card view on /tree shows the filtered set
as a flat tile grid alongside the existing tree forest.
New web/view_type.go owns the enum, per-route allowed set, parser, and
the chip-strip builder. Per the design note, view_type is RENDER state,
not filter state — kept off TreeFilter so the same filter can render as
card or list.
PageViewTypes("/") = {default: list, allowed: [list, card]}.
Dashboard / calendar / timeline are LOCKED to their native shape in
slice B; switching templates on /dashboard for card vs list is mostly
already done via fuller's 5h tabbed-tiles surface and stays as-is for
now (the chip strip surfaces card as the only allowed value there).
Kanban + cross-page list/card swaps land in slice C onwards.
Render:
- handleTree parses `?view_type=` with the per-route catalog, builds
flatMatchedItems for the card consumer alongside the existing forest.
- tree_section.tmpl gains a view-type chip strip (locked entries shown
greyed-out with title tooltip) + branches into either `tree-card` or
the forest based on .ViewType.
- New templates/tree_card.tmpl renders a flat grid of tiles for the
matched set; per-item field set mirrors the list rendering.
- Hidden `view_type` input added to the search form so chip clicks
preserve the view choice.
Tests:
- view_type_test.go: parser fallback, per-route catalog, chip strip
active/locked flags, filter preservation in chip URLs.
- server_test.go: end-to-end dispatch — GET /?view_type=card renders
tree-card-grid, GET / renders forest, unknown values fall back to
list. Chip strip present on both views.
m's Q5 pick (2026-05-26): project scope on every Views-supporting page,
with descendants exposed as an explicit on/off chip toggle rather than
always-on. Slice A ships the smallest standalone piece of the Views
system; slices B–E (view_type URL param, kanban, saved-views schema,
defaults) follow on the same branch.
TreeFilter grows two fields:
- ProjectPath: scoped item's primary path; "" = no filter.
- IncludeDescendants: default true; flipped via ?project_descendants=0.
Matching extends to path-prefix across `it.Paths` when ProjectPath is
set; equality-only when IncludeDescendants is off. Multi-parent items
pass when ANY of their paths qualifies.
Picker is a shared partial (templates/project_chip.tmpl) that every
Views-supporting filter strip includes (tree, dashboard, timeline,
calendar). Two states: <select> picker when no project is set; active
chip with × clear + descendants on/off chip when scoped. Hidden
inputs added to each form so non-picker chip clicks preserve the
project state. Graph and admin tools are NOT Views consumers (per
design.md / docs/plans/views-system.md §5) and stay untouched.
Test-source edits (per the 5c sharpened rule):
- dashboard_test.go, public_listing_test.go, timeline_test.go: row
membership assertions tightened from `Contains(body, slug)` to
`Contains(body, href="/i/path")`. The picker now renders every
item's primary path inside a <select>, so coarse slug substring
matches falsely passed across filtered-out picker options. Behaviour
preserved (filtered rows still don't render); the impl-detail
assertion moved to the row link.
New tests: TestProjectFilterIncludesDescendants,
TestProjectFilterDescendantsOff, TestParseTreeFilterProjectFields,
TestTreeFilterProjectRoundTrip, TestSetProjectAndToggleHelpers,
TestProjectFilterScopesTreeToDescendants (end-to-end via /).
Tree page (/) gains every navigation dimension m asked for:
- Debounced search input matching title/slug/aliases/content_md/paths
case-insensitively (?q=…)
- Tag chip row (?tag=a,b — AND within tags, as before)
- Management chip row with ?mgmt=mai,self,external,unmanaged
(OR within management; "unmanaged" is the synthetic empty-array case)
- Status chip row with ?status=active,done,archived (default = active;
archived rows only surface when the separate show-archived toggle is on)
- Has-link chip row ?has=caldav-list,gitea-repo
- Each chip carries the count it would yield if toggled — honest user
cue, computed via per-dimension recomputation in pure Go (cheap at
m's scale)
- URL is the source of truth — every filter goes through the query
string, so any view is bookmarkable; HTMX swaps the tree-section in
place with hx-push-url=true on every chip click and on search keyup
- Empty-state copy with a clear-all link
Implementation:
- web/tree_filter.go new: TreeFilter struct + ParseTreeFilter +
QueryString/URL + Toggle* helpers + Matches + applyTreeFilter
(replacement for buildForest) + computeChipCounts.
- web/tree_filter_test.go: parse defaults + every dimension's match +
URL round-trip + ancestor-keep semantics + chip counting.
- Linkages: linkKindsByItem on Server fans across the two has-link
ref_types in one pass and feeds the filter.
- tree.tmpl reduced to a one-liner that calls tree-section; new
tree_section partial powers both the initial page render and HTMX
fragment swaps (matches the pattern from phases 2.a/b/d).

count semantics, archived ergonomics.
