- 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.
- Rename AutoEnhancer to Discoverer with clear element discovery focus

Backend changes:
- Updated parser to treat <span> elements as markdown by default
- Changed span content type detection from ContentText to ContentMarkdown
- Spans now support **bold**, *italic*, and [links](url) formatting
Frontend changes:
- Updated content type detection to match backend behavior
- Frontend now treats spans as markdown elements for consistent processing
- Editor preview behavior now matches server-side enhancement
Benefits:
- <span class='highlight'>**bold** text</span> now processes markdown correctly
- Inline elements maintain all styling while supporting rich formatting
- Complete frontend/backend consistency for span element handling
- Expands markdown support to common inline wrapper elements
Tested and verified:
- Span elements preserve all classes, IDs, and styles
- Bold, italic, and link formatting works in span elements
- Content type properly detected as 'markdown' in both systems
Critical fixes:
- Fixed HTML injection to preserve original element attributes, classes, and styling
- Updated markdown processor to generate inline content instead of wrapped paragraphs
- Enhanced content type handling: database type now takes precedence over parser detection
- Eliminated nested <p> tags issue that was causing invalid HTML
Key improvements:
- Elements like <p class='lead insertr' style='color: blue;'> now maintain all attributes
- Markdown **bold**, *italic*, [links](url) inject as inline formatted content
- Database content type (markdown/text/link) overrides parser auto-detection
- Clean HTML output without structural corruption
Before: <p class='lead'><p>**bold**</p></p> (broken)
After: <p class='lead'>**bold text**</p> (clean)
Server remains source of truth for markdown processing with zero runtime overhead.
Backend implementation:
- Add goldmark dependency for markdown processing
- Create MarkdownProcessor with minimal config (bold, italic, links only)
- Update content injector with HTML injection capabilities
- Add injectHTMLContent() for safe DOM manipulation
- Server now converts **bold**, *italic*, [links](url) to HTML during enhancement
Frontend alignment:
- Restrict marked.js to match server capabilities
- Disable unsupported features (headings, lists, code blocks, tables)
- Update turndown rules to prevent unsupported markdown generation
- Frontend editor preview now matches server output exactly
Server as source of truth:
- Build-time markdown→HTML conversion during enhancement
- Zero runtime overhead for end users
- Consistent formatting between editor preview and final output
- Raw markdown stored in database, HTML served to visitors
Tested features:
- **bold** → <strong>bold</strong> ✅
- *italic* → <em>italic</em> ✅
- [text](url) → <a href="url">text</a> ✅
- 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 dev_mode parameter to SiteManager constructor
- Modify IsAutoEnhanceEnabled() to return false when dev_mode is true
- Update serve.go to pass dev_mode flag to SiteManager
- Add ForceEnhanceEnabled() method for testing production behavior in development
- Update documentation to explain development vs production mode behavior
This fixes the development workflow where content updates would trigger
file modifications that caused unwanted page reloads in live-server.
Development mode: Content saved to database only, editor loads dynamically
Production mode: Content saved + files enhanced for immediate static deployment
- 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.
