Replace isolated template previews with live collection reconstruction:
- Frontend now reconstructs collection container with all template variants
- Users click directly on rendered templates in proper CSS context
- Perfect preservation of grid/flex layouts and responsive behavior
- Simplified API: preview endpoint returns container_html + templates for frontend reconstruction
- Enhanced UX: WYSIWYG template selection shows exactly what will be added
- Removed redundant templates endpoint in favor of unified preview approach
Backend changes:
- Add GET /api/collections/{id}/preview endpoint
- Remove GET /api/collections/{id}/templates endpoint
- Return container HTML + templates for frontend reconstruction
Frontend changes:
- Replace isolated template modal with live collection preview
- Add generateLivePreview() method for container reconstruction
- Update CollectionManager to use preview API
- Add interactive CSS styling for template selection
This provides true contextual template selection where CSS inheritance,
grid layouts, and responsive design work perfectly in preview mode.
- Add comprehensive nested route structure with proper authentication layers
- Implement UpdateContent and ReorderCollectionItems handlers with repository pattern
- Add automatic mock JWT token fetching for seamless development workflow
- Restore content editing and collection reordering functionality broken after database refactoring
- Provide production-ready authentication architecture with development convenience
- Enable full CMS operations in browser with proper CRUD and bulk transaction support
- Add bulk reorder API endpoint (PUT /api/collections/{id}/reorder) with atomic transactions
- Replace individual position updates with efficient bulk operations in frontend
- Implement unified ID generation and proper data-item-id injection during enhancement
- Fix collection item position persistence through content edit cycles
- Add optimistic UI with rollback capability for better user experience
- Update sqlc queries to include last_edited_by fields in position updates
- Remove obsolete data-content-type attributes and unify naming conventions
Consolidates duplicate code and removes technical debt accumulated during rapid development. This cleanup improves maintainability while preserving all functionality.
Backend cleanup:
- Remove unused legacy function findViableChildrenLegacy()
- Consolidate duplicate SQL null string helper functions into shared utils
- Unify text extraction functions across utils, engine, and id_generator
- Consolidate duplicate attribute getter functions into single implementation
Frontend cleanup:
- Remove duplicate authentication methods (authenticateWithOAuth vs performOAuthFlow)
- Remove unused hasPermission() method from auth.js
- Centralize repetitive API endpoint construction in api-client.js
- Reduce excessive console logging while preserving important error logs
Impact: -144 lines of code, improved maintainability, no functionality changes
All tests pass and builds succeed

- Replace value field with html_content for direct HTML storage
- Add original_template field for style detection preservation
- Remove all markdown processing from injector (delete markdown.go)
- Fix critical content extraction/injection bugs in engine
- Add missing UpdateContent PUT handler for content persistence
- Fix API client field names and add updateContent() method
- Resolve content type validation (only allow text/link types)
- Add UUID-based ID generation to prevent collisions
- Complete first-pass processing workflow for unprocessed elements
- Verify end-to-end: Enhancement → Database → API → Editor → Persistence
All 37 files updated for HTML-first content management system.
Phase 3a implementation complete and production ready.
- Move all ContentItem, ContentClient, ContentResponse types to engine/types.go as single source of truth
- Remove duplicate type definitions from content/types.go
- Update all imports across codebase to use engine types
- Enhance engine to extract existing data-content-id from HTML markup
- Simplify frontend to always send html_markup, let server handle ID extraction/generation
- Fix contentId reference errors in frontend error handling
- Add getAttribute helper method to engine for ID extraction
- Add GetAllContent method to engine.DatabaseClient
- Update enhancer to use engine.ContentClient interface
- All builds and API endpoints verified working
This resolves the 400 Bad Request errors and creates a unified architecture where the server is the single source of truth for all ID generation and content type management.
- Create internal/engine module as single source of truth for content processing
- Consolidate 4 separate ID generation systems into one unified engine
- Update API handlers to use engine for consistent server-side ID generation
- Remove frontend client-side ID generation, delegate to server engine
- Ensure identical HTML markup + file path produces identical content IDs
- Resolve content persistence failures caused by ID fragmentation between manual editing and enhancement processes
- Replace separate POST/PUT endpoints with unified POST upsert
- Add automatic content ID generation from element context when no ID provided
- Implement version history preservation before content updates
- Add element context support for backend ID generation
- Update frontend to use single endpoint for all content operations
- Enhanced demo site with latest database content including proper content IDs
- Problem: Element ID collisions between similar elements (logo h1 vs hero h1)
causing content to be injected into wrong elements
- Root cause: Enhancer used naive tag+class matching instead of parser's
sophisticated semantic analysis for element identification
Systematic solution:
- Enhanced parser architecture with exported utilities (GetClasses, ContainsClass)
- Added FindElementInDocument() with content-based semantic matching
- Replaced naive findAndInjectNodes() with parser-based element matching
- Removed code duplication between parser and enhancer packages
Backend improvements:
- Moved ID generation to backend for single source of truth
- Added ElementContext struct for frontend-backend communication
- Updated API handlers to support context-based content ID generation
Frontend improvements:
- Enhanced getElementMetadata() to extract semantic context
- Updated save flow to handle both enhanced and non-enhanced elements
- Improved API client to use backend-generated content IDs
Result:
- Unique content IDs: navbar-logo-200530 vs hero-title-a1de7b
- Precise element matching using content validation
- Single source of truth for DOM utilities in parser package
- Eliminated 40+ lines of duplicate code while fixing core bug
- Replace dual update systems with single markdown-first editor architecture
- Add server-side upsert to eliminate 404 errors on PUT operations
- Fix content persistence race condition between preview and save operations
- Remove legacy updateElementContent system entirely
- Add comprehensive authentication with JWT scaffolding and dev mode
- Implement EditContext.updateOriginalContent() for proper baseline management
- Enable markdown formatting in all text elements (h1-h6, p, div, etc)
- Clean terminology: remove 'unified' references from codebase
Technical changes:
* core/editor.js: Remove legacy update system, unify content types as markdown
* ui/Editor.js: Add updateOriginalContent() method to fix save persistence
* ui/Previewer.js: Clean live preview system for all content types
* api/handlers.go: Implement UpsertContent for idempotent PUT operations
* auth/*: Complete authentication service with OAuth scaffolding
* db/queries/content.sql: Add upsert query with ON CONFLICT handling
* Schema: Remove type constraints, rely on server-side validation
Result: Clean content editing with persistent saves, no 404 errors, markdown support in all text elements
