- Remove complex style preservation system from editor
- Simplify markdown conversion back to straightforward approach
- Remove StyleContext class and style-aware conversion methods
- Switch content type from 'html' back to 'markdown' for consistency
- Clean up editor workflow to focus on core markdown editing
- Remove ~500 lines of unnecessary style complexity
This completes the UI unification cleanup by removing the overly complex
style preservation system that was making the editor harder to maintain.
- Add StyleContext class for extracting and applying HTML attributes/styles
- Enhance MarkdownConverter with style-aware conversion methods
- Switch backend storage from markdown to HTML with 'html' content type
- Update editor workflow to preserve CSS classes, IDs, and attributes
- Maintain markdown editing UX while storing HTML for style preservation

This enables editing styled content like <a class="fancy" rel="me">text</a>
while preserving all styling attributes through the markdown editing process.
- Migrate from inline CSS to external insertr.css with cascade layer architecture
- Add CSS CDN serving capability (ServeInsertrCSS handler and /insertr.css route)
- Implement hybrid approach: @layer insertr for modern browsers + html body selectors for legacy browsers
- Remove scattered inline CSS from JavaScript modules for better maintainability
- Solve form element spacing conflicts with aggressive site CSS resets like '* {margin:0; padding:0}'
- Enable proper CSS caching and separation of concerns
Major improvements:

- Fixed asset paths for localhost serving compatibility
Technical benefits:
- Automatic MIME type detection for static files
- Reduced code complexity with built-in middleware
- Better performance with lighter dependency stack
- Production-ready CORS handling
- Remove obsolete cmd/auto_enhance.go command (replaced by unified enhance)
- Implement EnhanceInPlace method using unified pipeline
- Remove generated demo files from git tracking
- Verify all functionality works after cleanup:
* go build successful
* enhance command working correctly
* unified pipeline (discovery → ID generation → content injection) verified
* clean command structure (only enhance, serve, restore commands)
The codebase is now clean with no legacy auto-enhance references or stub implementations. All functionality consolidated into the unified Discoverer + Enhancer architecture.
- 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
• Add /insertr.js endpoint to serve JavaScript library from API server
• Implement demo gate auto-injection for sites without existing gates
• Add dynamic site ID injection using per-demo configuration files
• Fix CORS middleware to support localhost origins on any port
• Update demo commands to use individual insertr.yaml configs
• Resolve content persistence issues by matching site IDs between injection and enhancement
• Enable complete edit/save workflow for demo sites with proper namespace isolation
- Replace content-hash based ID generation with position-based algorithm
- Use file + element identity + position index + hash for unique IDs
- Generate human-readable prefixes (e.g. index-lead-, index-p-2-)
- Add collision-resistant hash suffixes for guaranteed uniqueness
- Update Generate() to accept filePath parameter for context
- Fix ID collisions where hero and footer elements shared same ID
- Clean demo site files removing all data-content-id attributes
- Preserve insertr-gate elements for authentication functionality
Results: Hero gets 'index-lead-2-fc31f2', footer gets 'index-p-13-99fd13'
No more content cross-contamination between different elements.
- 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
- Add manual enhance API endpoint (POST /api/enhance?site_id={site}) for triggering file enhancement
- Implement enhance button in JavaScript library status indicator (🔄 Enhance)
- Disable auto-enhancement in development mode to prevent live-reload conflicts
- Add dev mode parameter to SiteManager to control enhancement behavior
- Update API routing structure to support /api/enhance endpoint
- Include enhance button styling and user feedback (loading, success, error states)
- Button triggers file enhancement and page reload to show updated static files
Development workflow improvements:
- Content edits → Immediate editor preview (no unwanted page reloads)
- Manual enhance button → Intentional file updates + reload for testing
- Production mode maintains automatic enhancement on content changes
This resolves the live-reload conflict where automatic file enhancement
was causing unwanted page reloads during content editing in development.
- Add SiteManager for registering and managing static sites with file-based enhancement
- Implement EnhanceInPlace method for in-place file modification using database content
- Integrate automatic file enhancement triggers in UpdateContent API handler
- Add comprehensive site configuration support in insertr.yaml with auto-enhancement
- Extend serve command to automatically register and manage configured sites
- Add backup system for original files before enhancement
- Support multi-site hosting with individual auto-enhancement settings
- Update documentation for server-hosted enhancement workflow
This enables real-time content deployment where database content changes
immediately update static files without requiring rebuilds or redeployment.
The database remains the single source of truth while maintaining static
file performance benefits.
- 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)

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
