- Remove auto-discovery entirely (~450 lines)
* Delete internal/content/discoverer.go
* Simplify enhancer to single-phase processing
* Remove duplicate container expansion logic
- Consolidate repository implementations
* Move internal/content/client.go → internal/db/http_client.go
* Group all repository implementations in db/ package
- Add file utilities to engine following Go stdlib patterns
* Add engine.ProcessFile() and ProcessDirectory() methods
* Engine now handles both content processing AND file operations
- Move site management to dedicated package
* Move internal/content/site_manager.go → internal/sites/manager.go
* Clear separation of site lifecycle from content processing
- Preserve container expansion (syntactic sugar)
* .insertr on containers still auto-applies to viable children
* Container detection logic consolidated in engine/utils.go
Result: Clean architecture with single source of truth for .insertr processing
- Replace type switching with clean repository pattern using sqlc-generated code
- Move ContentRepository interface and domain models to db package
- Create separate SQLiteRepository and PostgreSQLRepository implementations
- Remove unnecessary RepositoryAdapter and ContentClient interface duplication
- Update all clients (HTTP, Mock) to implement db.ContentRepository directly
- Add context.Context parameters to all repository methods (Go best practice)
- Eliminate duplicate domain models and type conversions
- Remove type aliases - use db package types directly throughout codebase
- Update engine, content managers, and API handlers to use repositories directly
Benefits:
- Zero runtime type switching overhead
- Single source of truth for domain models
- Clean package boundaries and separation of concerns
- Standard Go interface patterns with context support
- Easier testing with mockable repository interface
- Maintainable: adding new database types requires no changes to existing code
• Add full multi-table schema for collections with normalized design (collections, collection_templates, collection_items, collection_item_versions)
• Implement collection detection and processing in enhancement pipeline for .insertr-add elements
• Add template extraction and storage from existing HTML children with multi-variant support
• Enable collection reconstruction from database on server restart with proper DOM rebuilding
• Extend ContentClient interface with collection operations and full database integration
• Update enhance command to use engine.DatabaseClient for collection persistence support
Major architectural simplification removing content type complexity:
Database Schema:
- Remove 'type' field from content and content_versions tables
- Simplify to pure HTML storage with html_content + original_template
- Regenerate all sqlc models for SQLite and PostgreSQL
API Simplification:
- Remove content type routing and validation
- Eliminate type-specific handlers (text/markdown/structured)
- Unified HTML-first approach for all content operations
- Simplify CreateContent and UpdateContent to HTML-only
Backend Enhancements:
- Update enhancer to only generate data-content-id (no data-content-type)
- Improve container expansion utilities with comprehensive block/inline rules
- Add Phase 3 preparation with boundary-respecting traversal logic
- Strengthen element classification for viable children detection
Documentation:
- Update TODO.md to reflect Phase 1-3 completion status
- Add WORKING_ON.md documenting the architectural transformation
- Mark container expansion and HTML-first architecture as complete
This completes the transition to a unified HTML-first content management system
with automatic style detection and element-based behavior, eliminating the
complex multi-type system in favor of semantic HTML-driven editing.
- Add syntactic sugar for container transformation: .insertr containers → children get .insertr
- Fix discovery auto-running when disabled with site-specific config loading
- Add comprehensive styling test examples for HTML attribute preservation
- Include test input for syntactic sugar validation
- Update discovery defaults to respect developer intent (disabled by default)
- Restructure demo directory from test-sites/ to demos/ with flattened layout
- Add auto-enhancement on server startup for all sites with auto_enhance: true
- Fix inconsistent content ID generation that prevented dan-eden-portfolio content persistence
- Update server configuration to enhance from source to separate output directories
- Remove manual enhancement from justfile in favor of automatic server enhancement
- Clean up legacy test files and unused restore command
- Update build system to use CDN endpoint instead of file copying
- Rename AutoEnhancer to Discoverer with clear element discovery focus
- Implement unified enhancement pipeline in Enhancer:
* Phase 1: Element Discovery (configurable, respects existing insertr classes)
* Phase 2: ID Generation via engine
* Phase 3: Content Injection via engine
- Add EnhancementConfig and DiscoveryConfig for flexible configuration
- Update all method names and references (discoverNode, DiscoveryResult, etc.)
- Support both manual class insertion and automatic discovery
- Maintain single enhance command interface while providing unified internal pipeline
- Update all constructors to use new configuration-based approach
This establishes the clean Discoverer + Enhancer architecture discussed, with discovery as configurable first phase and enhancement as unified pipeline.
- 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.
- Remove mock_content setting (working database loop makes it unnecessary)
- Change server.dev_mode to global dev_mode setting for consistency
- Update CLI to use cli.site_id and cli.output for scoped configuration
- Implement database client for CLI enhance command (complete static site loop)
- Update justfile to use INSERTR_DATABASE_PATH environment variable
- Enable multi-site architecture: server is site-agnostic, CLI is site-specific
- Unified insertr.yaml now supports both server and CLI with minimal config
🏗️ **Major Architecture Refactoring: Separate CLI + Server → Unified Binary**
**Key Changes:**
✅ **Unified Binary**: Single 'insertr' binary with subcommands (enhance, serve)
✅ **Preserved Database Architecture**: Maintained sophisticated sqlc multi-DB setup
✅ **Smart Configuration**: Viper + YAML config with CLI flag precedence
✅ **Updated Build System**: Unified justfile, Air, and npm scripts
**Command Structure:**
- `insertr enhance [input-dir]` - Build-time content injection
- `insertr serve` - HTTP API server (dev + production modes)
- `insertr --config insertr.yaml` - YAML configuration support
**Architecture Benefits:**
- **Shared Database Layer**: Single source of truth for content models
- **Flexible Workflows**: Local DB for dev, remote API for production
- **Simple Deployment**: One binary for all use cases
- **Better UX**: Consistent configuration across build and runtime
**Preserved Features:**
- Multi-database support (SQLite + PostgreSQL)
- sqlc code generation and type safety
- Version control system with rollback
- Professional API endpoints
- Content enhancement pipeline
**Development Workflow:**
- `just dev` - Full-stack development (API server + demo site)
- `just serve` - API server only
- `just enhance` - Build-time content injection
- `air` - Hot reload unified binary
**Migration:** Consolidated insertr-cli/ and insertr-server/ → unified root structure
