# bDS2 Plan

This document tracks the current implementation state of bDS2 against the Allium specs and the old bDS application, with the remaining work now focused on batch 3 and batch 4 parity auditing.

## Current State

The rewrite already implements most of the backend and compatibility-critical surface described by the specs.

### Implemented Now

- Foundation and persistence: OTP app startup, Ecto repo, migrations, and persisted tables for projects, posts, translations, media, tags, templates, scripts, settings, chat, AI catalog data, embeddings, imports, publishing jobs, MCP proposals, and CLI notifications.
- Compatibility-critical file contracts: post frontmatter, media sidecars, thumbnail layout, template and script frontmatter, menu OPML, metadata diff, and rebuild-from-filesystem flows.
- Compatibility parity locks: executable parity coverage now pins the old-bDS behavior for serializer/file contracts, metadata-diff ordering, canonical generation routes, feed output, localized archive rendering, preview draft language selection, taxonomy archive links, and media URL rewriting.
- Core editorial domains: projects, posts, post translations, media, media translations, tags, templates, scripts, menu data, and project metadata.
- Output and infrastructure: search, Liquid rendering, site generation, preview server, publishing, background tasks, i18n, git support, MCP server, AI operations, embeddings, and CLI sync.
- Desktop shell foundation: native menu definitions, LiveView shell endpoint, activity bar, sidebar views, tab/workbench state, task panel, assistant sidebar, status bar, project switcher, shell command routing, template-backed shell rendering, sidebar search/filter/load-more controls, dashboard recent-post opening, UI language switching, project dropdown actions, output/post-link/git lower-panel content, browser-native menu bridging, and the shared modal/overlay layer for AI suggestions, picker flows, confirmations, and gallery/lightbox interactions.
- Dedicated editor surfaces now exist for posts, media, settings, style, tags, scripts, templates, chat, and the misc maintenance views, with focused shell-live tests covering real rendering and core save/preview/publish flows.

### Implemented But Not Yet At Parity

- The main shell chrome and the existing dedicated editors are implemented, but they still need side-by-side parity checks against the old React/Electron UI for workflow details, edge-case state transitions, and styling fidelity.
- AI gating, translation, image analysis, tag suggestions, and side-effect chains exist in backend services, but the exact old-app UI triggers, sequencing, and result presentation are not all proven yet.
- Shared workbench/session state exists, but the richer cross-surface behaviors described in the UI data-flow specs still need explicit parity scoring route by route.
- The lower-risk service engines are broadly implemented and tested, but they still need a focused audit that ties each service contract back to the old engine behavior and the current editor/shell entry points.

### Missing Or Materially Incomplete

- Import remains definition-only: stored import definitions exist, but the old WXR analysis/execution pipeline and its dedicated editor surface are not present.
- Menu data exists, but the `menu_editor` route still lacks a dedicated editor surface comparable to the old app.
- CLI sync notification persistence exists, but old-app parity for desktop-side watching/broadcasting of external DB mutations is not yet proven.
- Full parity validation still needs to be written down per slice, with explicit green/yellow/red scoring and a concrete change backlog for any drift that is found.

## Spec Coverage Snapshot

Ordered from base contracts upward:

| Area | Specs | Status | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Persistence and file contracts | `schema`, `frontmatter`, `project`, `post`, `translation`, `media`, `tag`, `template`, `script`, `menu`, `metadata` | Implemented | Core schemas, file formats, publish flows, sidecars, rebuild, and metadata diff are present and tested. |
| Rendering and output pipelines | `template_context`, `search`, `generation`, `preview`, `publishing`, `task`, `i18n` | Implemented | Rendering, generation, preview, publishing, task tracking, and localization are in place. |
| Integrations | `git`, `mcp`, `ai`, `embedding`, `cli_sync`, `metadata_diff` | Implemented | Service layer and test coverage exist for these domains. |
| Desktop shell primitives | `layout`, `tabs`, `sidebar_views` | Implemented | Route state, registry-backed sidebar/editor coverage, panel fallback rules, menu/native-command wiring, and a LiveView-owned shell frame are in place. |
| Cross-cutting flows | `ui_data_flow`, `engine_side_effects`, `action_patterns`, `media_processing` | Partial | Most backend behavior exists, but UI coordination, explicit engine event modeling, and some parity details are still incomplete. |
| Editor UX layer | `editor_post`, `editor_media`, `editor_settings`, `editor_tags`, `editor_chat`, `editor_script`, `editor_template`, `editor_misc`, `modals` | Partial | The existing editor routes now render dedicated surfaces and have focused tests; import/menu parity and full old-app behavior scoring are still outstanding. |

## Batch 3 And 4 Focus

Only these two audit tracks matter for the current pass. Import and menu stay out of scope unless they block an audited flow.

1. Lock compatibility contracts. Completed 2026-04-25.
   Schema, frontmatter, sidecars, template context, generation output, preview behavior, metadata diff, and rebuild behavior are now pinned against the Allium specs and the old bDS application with executable parity tests.

2. Close engine-level behavior gaps. Completed 2026-04-25.
   Save/publish/delete side-effects, published-post `templateSlug` frontmatter rewrites, manual-translation source-post reopening, post-to-media sidecar cleanup, auto-translation task cascades, linked-media translation cascades, link graph maintenance, thumbnail regeneration rules, and rebuild notifications are now implemented and covered at the backend layer independent of UI.

3. Finish the desktop shell primitives. Completed 2026-04-26.
   Route state, registry-backed shell command coverage, panel fallback integration, menu/native-command wiring, template-backed LiveView rendering, sidebar search/filter/load-more controls, dashboard recent-post opening, project dropdown actions, UI language switching, real output/post-link/git lower-panel content, and native-menu event bridging now cover the old shell frame behavior while preserving the legacy layout and styling.

4. Implement the shared modal and confirmation layer. Completed 2026-04-26.
   The LiveView shell now owns the shared modal/overlay system required by the specs: AI suggestions, delete confirmations, merge confirmation, picker overlays, and gallery/lightbox flows, with overlay state isolated in a pure module and covered by focused tests.

5. Audit batch 3: shell UI plus all dedicated editors already present. Completed 2026-04-28.
   Compared the old Electron/React shell and each dedicated editor route against the current LiveView shell, scored parity green/yellow/red, and reduced the proven batch-3 drift list to the remaining chat-surface gaps only.

6. Audit batch 4: lower-risk backend and integration services behind those surfaces.
   Tie each old engine contract to its bDS2 replacement, verify the executable proof set, probe the service through the owning UI/editor entry points where applicable, and emit only the behavior drifts that remain.

7. Restore chat editor parity on the implemented route.
   Bring the current chat tab up to old bDS for the implemented conversation UI: add model selection, streaming turn state, tool-call/result presentation, and A2UI surface rendering to the existing persisted-transcript editor without widening into unrelated AI features.

8. Restore misc maintenance editor parity on the implemented routes. Completed 2026-04-28.
   Translation validation now uses the old dedicated validate-and-fix card surface again, and git diff now renders through the structured Monaco diff viewer while keeping the current metadata-diff, site-validation, and duplicate flows intact.

9. Fix any remaining batch 3 and batch 4 parity gaps that the audit proves.
   Do not widen into import/menu/release-packaging work unless one of those blocks a batch 3 or batch 4 parity scenario.

| Style editor | `src/renderer/components/StyleView/StyleView.tsx` | `lib/bds/desktop/shell_live/settings_editor.ex`, `lib/bds/desktop/shell_live/settings_editor_html/style_editor.html.heex` | Same theme list, same preview URL behavior, same apply flow, same selected/applied theme semantics. |

## Batch 3 Procedure

1. Freeze a parity row per slice: old file, new file, proof tests, manual scenario, current score, gap notes.
2. Run shell-level proof first: `mix test test/bds/desktop/shell_live_test.exs test/bds/ui/sidebar_test.exs`.
3. Audit shell chrome before individual editors, so layout/tabs/sidebar drift does not get misattributed to an editor.
4. Audit editors in this order: post, media, settings, style, tags, scripts, templates, chat, misc.
5. For each editor, capture only behavior deltas: missing flow, different state transition, styling drift, localization drift, or command wiring drift.
6. Mark each slice `green`, `yellow`, or `red`; do not down-score a row for a separate feature that is not implemented yet.

## Batch 3 Audit Snapshot

Current batch 3 parity scores for existing implemented UI/editor code only. Missing or not-yet-implemented surfaces are not counted as parity failures in this table.

| Slice | Score | Old bDS anchor | bDS2 anchor | Proof used | Existing-code parity result |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

| Style editor | green | `src/renderer/components/StyleView/StyleView.tsx` | `lib/bds/desktop/shell_live/settings_editor.ex`, `lib/bds/desktop/shell_live/settings_editor_html/style_editor.html.heex` | `mix test test/bds/desktop/shell_live_test.exs`; style editor implementation compared | No material implemented-code parity drift found in the current theme picker, preview mode, preview URL, and apply flow. |
| Tags editor | green | `src/renderer/components/TagsView/TagsView.tsx` | `lib/bds/desktop/shell_live/tags_editor.ex`, `lib/bds/desktop/shell_live/tags_editor_html/*` | `mix test test/bds/desktop/shell_live_test.exs`; tags editor implementation compared | No material implemented-code parity drift found in the current create/edit/delete/merge flows, color handling, or post-template selection behavior. |

| Misc maintenance editors | green | `src/renderer/components/SiteValidationView`, `TranslationValidationView`, `MetadataDiffPanel`, `DuplicatesView`, `GitDiffView` | `lib/bds/desktop/shell_live/misc_editor.ex`, `lib/bds/desktop/shell_live/misc_editor_html/misc_editor.html.heex` | `mix test test/bds/desktop/shell_live_test.exs`; misc editor implementation compared | No material implemented-code parity drift found in the current metadata diff, site validation, duplicate dismissal, translation validation, or working-tree git diff flows. Translation validation again uses dedicated issue cards with revalidate/fix actions, and git diff now uses the structured Monaco diff surface. |

| CLI sync notification persistence | `src/main/engine/NotificationWatcher.ts` | `lib/bds/cli_sync.ex` | For the implemented notification store/drain/prune logic, do the `db_notifications` semantics match the old app. |

## Batch 4 Procedure

1. Freeze a parity row per service slice: old engine, bDS2 module, proof tests, owning editor/shell entry point, current score, gap notes.
2. Run the current proof set in four groups.
3. Group A: `mix test test/bds/generation_test.exs test/bds/maintenance_test.exs test/bds/rendering_test.exs test/bds/preview_test.exs`.
4. Group B: `mix test test/bds/posts_test.exs test/bds/media_test.exs test/bds/tags_test.exs test/bds/templates_test.exs test/bds/scripts_test.exs test/bds/projects_test.exs`.
5. Group C: `mix test test/bds/publishing_test.exs test/bds/git_test.exs test/bds/search_test.exs test/bds/embeddings_test.exs test/bds/desktop/shell_commands_test.exs`.
6. Group D: `mix test test/bds/ai_test.exs test/bds/mcp_server_test.exs test/bds/mcp_test.exs`.
7. Supplemental direct proofs for slices not fully covered by the grouped runs: `mix test test/bds/metadata_test.exs`, `mix test test/bds/tasks_test.exs`, and `mix test test/bds/cli_sync_test.exs`.
8. After the proof set, probe each service through the matching shell/editor action when that entry point already exists and is part of the implemented surface being scored.
9. Mark each slice `green`, `yellow`, or `red`; do not down-score a row for a separate feature that is not implemented yet.

## Batch 4 Audit Snapshot

Current batch 4 parity scores for implemented backend code only, based on the proof commands already run and the owner-file comparison against old bDS. Missing or not-yet-implemented surfaces are not counted as parity failures in this table.

| Service slice | Score | Old bDS anchor | bDS2 anchor | Owning shell/editor entry | Proof used | Existing-code parity result |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

| Publishing | green | `src/main/engine/PublishEngine.ts`, `src/main/engine/PublishApiAdapter.ts` | `lib/bds/publishing.ex`, `lib/bds/desktop/shell_commands.ex` | Publishing section under `lib/bds/desktop/shell_live/settings_editor.ex` | `mix test test/bds/publishing_test.exs`; shell ownership reviewed | The implemented queued-job, credential, scp/rsync, sidecar-filter, and persistence behavior matches the old engine surface closely enough for green. |
| Tasks | green | `src/main/engine/TaskManager.ts` | `lib/bds/tasks.ex` | `lib/bds/desktop/shell_live.ex`, `lib/bds/ui/workbench.ex` | `mix test test/bds/tasks_test.exs`, `mix test test/bds/desktop/shell_commands_test.exs`; existing shell task-panel/status coverage reviewed | No material backend parity drift found in the current pass. |
| Git | green | `src/main/engine/GitEngine.ts`, `src/main/engine/GitApiAdapter.ts` | `lib/bds/git.ex`, `lib/bds/desktop/shell_live/misc_editor.ex` | Legacy git activity badge plus misc git-diff surface in `lib/bds/desktop/shell_live.ex` | `mix test test/bds/git_test.exs`; existing shell-live remote-badge coverage reviewed | The implemented repository, status, diff, history, remote-state, and fetch/pull/push semantics are close enough to old bDS for green on existing backend code. |
| Search | green | `src/main/engine/SearchIndexEngine.ts` | `lib/bds/search.ex` | `lib/bds/desktop/shell_commands.ex` via `reindex_text` | `mix test test/bds/search_test.exs`, `mix test test/bds/desktop/shell_commands_test.exs` | No material backend parity drift found in the current pass. |

| CLI sync notification persistence | green | `src/main/engine/NotificationWatcher.ts` | `lib/bds/cli_sync.ex` | Notification rows consumed outside the shell; no desktop watcher is scored here | `mix test test/bds/cli_sync_test.exs` | The implemented `db_notifications` insert, drain, seen-marking, and prune semantics match the old row-handling behavior. Desktop watch/invalidation is outside this existing-code score because it is not implemented in bDS2. |

## Audit Outputs Required

1. A single parity matrix covering every batch 3 and batch 4 slice.
2. A green/yellow/red score per slice, never just narrative confidence.
3. The exact old file and exact bDS2 file that own each behavior.
4. The proof command or manual scenario used for the score.
5. A minimal change backlog containing only proven drifts in batch 3 and batch 4.

## Unresolved Questions

None.
