m's request: typing "Mallorca 2026" into the new-item Title should
suggest "mallorca-2026" in the Slug field. Surface-only — server still
validates per itemwrite (^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,62}$).
Inline ~25-line vanilla-JS handler on /new:
- normalize('NFD') + strip combining diacritics → ä→a, ñ→n, São→sao
- ß → ss (German sharp-s)
- non-alphanum run → single hyphen
- trim leading/trailing hyphens, collapse runs of hyphens
- slice(0, 63) to match the validator's length cap
Behavioural contract per m's brief:
- Slug syncs from Title on every Title input event UNTIL the user
edits the slug manually. After that the slug field is locked in
(`slug.dataset.userEdited === '1'`).
- A pre-filled slug counts as user-edited too — defensive against any
future flow that lands on /new with a slug already populated.
Scoped to /new only — the detail-page edit form intentionally keeps
manual slug control because auto-sync there would silently rename
existing items.
Template additions:
- Added `id="new-item-form"`, `id="new-title"`, `id="new-slug"` to the
form + inputs so the script can grab them by id rather than name
(name="slug" exists on the detail page too and we don't want to
cross-bind).
Test (web/new_form_test.go):
- TestNewFormHasSlugSuggestScript — asserts the inline script's
signature fragments (`normalize('NFD')`, `replace(/ß/g, 'ss')`,
`slice(0, 63)`, `dataset.userEdited`, the input ids) all render on
/new. Guards against a "harmless cleanup" pass silently stripping
the script.
Manual verification: typing "Mallorca 2026" updates slug to
"mallorca-2026"; typing in the slug field locks further sync.
Full web suite green.
Big task. Five migrations, full store + web rewrite, and a model upgrade
that turns the parent_id tree into a parent_ids[] DAG.
Schema (db/migrations)
- 0006_tags_management_unify: adds tags + management text[] (GIN-indexed),
collapses the area/project distinction (kind keeps the slot but 'area'
is no longer a special value), drops the structural rules from the
path trigger so root projects + non-root projects are both legal.
- 0007_backfill_mai_projects: one-shot, idempotent — for every row in
mai.projects without a 'mai-project' item_link, create a projax.items
row under a heuristic-chosen area (mhealth→health, msports/manjin→
sports, kanzlai/hlckm/work/mworkrepo/paliad or HL/* repo→work,
mhome→home, default→dev), insert the item_link, and tag the row
management=['mai']. Also flips management='mai' on any already-linked
pre-Phase-1.5 promotions.
- 0008_mai_projects_sync: bidirectional triggers. sync_to_mai runs as
projax_admin and writes mai.projects directly (after the operator-run
grant + RLS policy widening — documented in the migration header).
sync_from_mai is SECURITY DEFINER so writes by the mai role fan out
into projax.items. pg_trigger_depth() + projax.in_sync GUC keep the
cycle suppressed. Slug stays the join key for new rows; the
item_link pointer survives renames.
- 0009_items_unified_simplify: view collapses to a thin projection over
projax.items now that mai.projects is a derived projection.
- 0010_multi_parent: parent_id → parent_ids uuid[], path → paths text[].
compute_item_paths walks via parents' precomputed paths (no recursive
CTE in the hot path; cycle detection uses one). New triggers:
items_check_slug_collision (multi-parent uniqueness),
items_after_delete (manual cascade since arrays don't carry FK).
Trigger refresh_item_paths_recursive does parent-first DFS over
descendants, guarded by projax.refreshing_paths GUC.
Go store + handlers
- Item gains ParentIDs []string + Paths []string. PrimaryPath /
OtherPaths helpers feed the detail breadcrumb. Source always
'projax' now; SourceRefDeref still surfaces the mai-id pointer.
- Update / Reparent / Create take ParentIDs []string. AddParent helper
for the multi-parent UI's "also list under" action.
- GetByPath uses '$1 = any(paths)' so /i/work.paliad and /i/dev.paliad
resolve to the same row.
- buildForest renders a multi-parent item under each of its parents
(duplicated nodes in distinct branches). Tag-filter prune is
branch-preserving.
Templates
- detail.tmpl: multi-select parents, tags + management chip inputs,
"Also at: …" breadcrumb for multi-parent items.
- new.tmpl: same multi-select + chip inputs.
- tree.tmpl: tag-filter chip bar, "×N" badge on multi-parent rows,
management chips visible on every row.
- classify.tmpl: re-parent workflow (no more promote-to-projax — the
bidirectional sync removed the dichotomy).
Tests (DB + HTTP, all skip without env)
- TestMultiParentResolvesBothPaths inserts an item with two parents,
asserts both inherited paths.
- TestSlugCollisionUnderCommonParent refuses a sibling clash.
- TestMultiParentBothPathsRouteToSameRow HTTP-level: /i/dev.X and
/i/work.X both 200, same row.
- TestReparentRoundTrip rewritten for parent_ids[] semantics.
- TestPathTriggerNestAndRename / Reparent rewritten to query paths[].
Docs (docs/design.md)
- §2 rewritten: items in a DAG, no area/project distinction.
- §3 schema: parent_ids + paths + tags + management + indices.
- §3.1 path-trigger overhaul incl. cycle detection via recursive CTE
and slug-collision-under-common-parent guard.
- §3.2 view simplified.
- §3.4 NEW: mai.projects bidirectional sync, including the manual
prereq.
- §4.1 + §4.2: classify becomes re-parent, tags+management UI section.
mai head start / mai hire / mai status / mai instruct keep working
because mai.projects retains its FK-target shape; the projax sync just
mirrors the row in lock-step.
cmd/projax/main.go boots a pgxpool against PROJAX_DB_URL (falls back to
SUPABASE_DATABASE_URL), auto-applies embedded migrations on start
(disable with PROJAX_AUTO_MIGRATE=off), and serves on PROJAX_LISTEN_ADDR
(default :8080).
store package wraps the unified view + projax.items writes. Item has
helper methods for templates: IsArea, Editable, SourceRefDeref. The
Promote() flow runs the insert + item_links link inside a single
transaction so the source row drops out of items_unified atomically.
web package: per-page html/template instances parsed against a shared
layout.tmpl, embedded static/style.css, HTMX from CDN. Pages:
GET / tree of items_unified
GET /i/{path} detail (editable for projax, read-only +
promote form for mai.projects)
POST /i/{path} update projax-native item
POST /i/{path}/promote one-page promote (HTMX-aware fragment for
inline classify)
GET /new?parent={path} create form
POST /new create projax-native item
GET /admin/classify orphan list with inline HTMX promote
GET /healthz DB ping
GET /static/* embedded assets
Auth is intentionally out of scope for v1 — service binds to whatever
PROJAX_LISTEN_ADDR points at, deploy guidance pins it to the Tailscale
interface (covered in 1d README).
Tests (skip when DB env is unset):
TestTreeRenders, TestHealthz,
TestDetailProjaxNativeEditable, TestDetailMaiProjectsReadOnly,
TestClassifyListsOrphans, TestPromoteRoundTrip.
