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 backend container transformation in engine.go following syntactic sugar specification
- Containers with .insertr get class removed and viable children get .insertr added
- Remove incorrect frontend container expansion - frontend only finds enhanced elements
- Fix StyleAwareEditor hasMultiPropertyElements runtime error
- Add addClass/removeClass methods to ContentEngine for class manipulation
- Update frontend to match HTML-first approach with no runtime container logic
- Test verified: container <section class='insertr'> transforms to individual h1.insertr, p.insertr, button.insertr
This completes the container expansion functionality per CLASSES.md:
Developer convenience (one .insertr enables section editing) + granular control (individual element editing)
- Add sibling context detection to identify unique heading content
- Include parent container context with enhanced class filtering
- Look for heading siblings (h1-h6) that provide unique container context
- Extract up to 12 chars of sibling heading text for differentiation
Results:
✅ Collision Elimination: From 8 collisions to 0 collisions
✅ Unique Base IDs: Each element gets distinct ID (no -1, -2, -3 suffixes)
✅ Better Context: 'Example 1', 'Example 2' headings provide unique signatures
✅ Maintained Stability: Same elements still get same IDs across runs
Before: index-p-cad2a8, index-p-cad2a8-1, index-p-cad2a8-2... (8 collisions)
After: index-p-1198e8, index-p-215de9, index-p-604e11... (0 collisions)
- Remove content preview from ID generation for stable structural IDs
- Implement database-first approach to check content existence before creation
- Add enhanced DOM path, semantic context, and precise sibling indexing
- Replace HTML attribute checking with reliable database lookups
- Add collision handling with increment counters for similar elements
Fixes:
✅ UNIQUE constraint errors eliminated (multiple enhancement runs work)
✅ Structural stability (same element keeps same ID regardless of content changes)
✅ Database-driven workflow (single source of truth for content existence)
✅ Enhanced collision resistance with detailed structural differentiation
Results: No more 'Failed to store content' errors, stable enhance workflow.
- Remove --clean-db flag references from all documentation

- Use filePath|domPath|tag|classes|contentPreview|siblingIndex for uniqueness
- Enhance sibling positioning with insertr-aware index calculation
- Improve DOM path generation with meaningful class inclusion
- Restore ID consistency across enhancement runs for reliable content injection
Results:
✅ ID Consistency: Same elements always get same IDs (index-p-639460)
✅ Collision Resistance: Different elements get different IDs (4c7206, 23df20, 5a975d)
✅ File Scoping: Same structure in different files gets different IDs
✅ Enhanced Workflow: API edit → enhance button → content injected successfully
Fixes enhance button by ensuring API content IDs match enhancement-generated IDs.
- Replace random UUID suffix with deterministic hash-based signature
- Use element DOM path, sibling position, and content preview for uniqueness
- Ensure same elements always get the same content ID across enhancements

- Add logic to call updateContent() for existing content vs createContent() for new
- Fix 400 Invalid JSON error caused by sending object instead of string
- Handle different formData formats: string, {content: string}, {text: string}

but server expected a plain string. Now properly extracts the content value.
- 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)
