Use the ADR-0047 Ctrl+]-delimited demo caption to narrate the payoff
moment of three casts with a neutral one-liner (no key names): the join
result, the relationship diagram, and the m:n junction expansion. Add a
`caption` step kind to the cast generator. Captions show at the climax
during playback and clear as the cast quits.
Split the short pivotal commands from their submit so they read before
the screen changes (`mode advanced` in modes/joins; `undo`/`redo` before
their confirm modals), and surface the source tables in joins with
`show data` before the join, since the schema sidebar is hidden at 90 cols.
Tighten line-height (1.75 -> 1.2) on plaintext code blocks only, so the
box-drawing in rendered output (tables, query results, plan trees)
connects vertically as it does in the app. Command blocks keep the
looser spacing.
Rewrite "Seeing the SQL behind a command" with the learning framing,
a grounded ALTER TABLE example, and the sql-echo cast. Drop the
"multiple result tabs" promise (won't-do on main) and the planned
`hint`-command note (superseded by the hint panel).
Advanced-mode cast running simple commands (create table, add column),
culminating in `create m:n relationship` expanding to a full junction
table, each tagged `Executing SQL:`. Recorded at height 34 so the long
m:n echo + junction structure stay fully on screen. Verified against
real app output.
Document the features the main merge shipped: `create m:n relationship`
(relationships ref + build-the-library note), the `--demo` teaching
flag (command-line-options), the Ctrl-O schema sidebar (output-pane,
now .mdx to embed the new cast), and horizontal/two-row input
(assistive-editor).
Add a `schema-sidebar` cast that reveals the ADR-0046 sidebar with
Ctrl-O (the only way to show it at 90 cols) and steps through the
Tables and Relationships panels. Teach the generator the CtrlO/Esc
control codes; quote control codes so `^[`/`^]` stay valid YAML.
Projects cast review fixes:
- Pace the confirms: `save as` name and `new` now type, pause, then Enter as
separate steps, so the viewer can read them before they execute.
- Insert `show tables` at each phase (before save / after `new` / after load),
since the schema sidebar is hidden at 90 cols (ADR-0046) — the sequence now
reads "books -> no tables -> books" so the round-trip is followable.
STYLE.md: new "Cast pacing & clarity" guidelines (beat-before-submit; surface
state where the sidebar would). Handoff item 2: chase these up across the
existing casts.
- New projects cast: create → save as library → new (fresh) → load → navigate
the picker to the saved project (j, now possible via #24 vi-nav) → Enter
loads it, the table is restored. Runs under an isolated --data-dir so the
picker lists only this cast's projects.
- Turn on the demonstration overlay (--demo, #22 / ADR-0047) for ALL casts,
for a consistent viewer experience: special keys show a badge — e.g.
[ENTER], and [TAB] at the assistive-editor's completion moment, finally
making that keystroke visible. Plain j/k navigation stays unbadged, so the
picker navigation is not surfaced.
- Generator: per-cast `dataDir` (isolated data root) + default-on `--demo`
(opt out with demo:false). All 7 casts regenerated.
Convert projects.md → .mdx and embed. Build clean (26 pages). Visual playback
of all casts pending a tunnel check.
Three more casts on "doing" pages:
- first-project reuses the quickstart cast (the create→insert→show tour)
- modes (new): a simple command, then `mode advanced` where the same command
also prints "Executing SQL: …" (the teaching echo — "learn the SQL underneath")
- undo-redo (new): insert two rows, `undo` (Y-confirm modal) backs one out,
`redo` restores it
Also fix the cast endings (review feedback): scripts ended by typing a `quit`
command, which — once the trim drops the shell exit — left a dangling "quit" in
frame with no payoff. End every cast with Ctrl-C instead (the app's quit key,
KeyCode::Char('c')+CTRL): it types nothing, so the cast ends cleanly on the
last content frame. Generator gains a `CtrlC` key; all six casts regenerated.
Convert the three pages to .mdx and embed. Build clean (26 pages); 6 casts.
New dedicated Reference page for the advanced-mode SQL query features
under-covered by "Querying & inspecting": DISTINCT, GROUP BY/HAVING, set
operations (UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT), subqueries (IN + correlated NOT EXISTS),
CTEs (WITH), and expressions (CASE/CAST/functions) — each with a worked example
on the library schema and real captured output. Adds an explicit "supported
subset" boundary note (views, triggers, transactions, window functions,
multi-statement batches are not available) rather than linking to general SQL,
which would advertise unsupported features. Grounded in ADR-0030 §3/§13 and the
SQL grammar tests.
Cross-link added from Querying & inspecting. Build clean (26 pages);
box-drawing output verified; forbidden terms clean.
"A cast wherever the app does something": broad on Getting-started /
Using-the-playground / Guides + the landing; selective on Reference (motion
beats the still, static output kept regardless); skip pure-lookup/conceptual.
Casts are selective (a representative slice, not every command); autoplay only
the landing; all re-record via `pnpm casts`.
Fourth cast: build a minimal two-table schema with rows, switch to advanced
mode (`mode advanced`), and run a join pairing each book with its author —
shows the mode switch + SQL + multi-table result, motion that complements the
guide's static examples. Convert the guide to .mdx and embed above the intro.
Recorded via `pnpm casts`; build clean (25 pages).
Third earmarked cast: declare a 1:n relationship, then `show relationship`
draws the two-table connector diagram — showcases the V1 relationship
visualization with motion a still block can't. Convert the relationships
reference page to .mdx and embed it above the syntax (the static diagrams
below remain the exact reference).
Recorded via `pnpm casts`; build clean (25 pages).
Address cast review feedback:
- Trim every cast to the in-app region (generate.mjs): the recording now
starts with the app already running and ends on the last in-app frame —
drops the `$ rdbms-playground` launch and the return-to-shell frame (the
latter was the stray cursor-under-$ artifact). Opt out per cast with
`keepShell: true` for demos that document the CLI launch.
- Landing quickstart cast: autoPlay + loop, with a 2.5s hold on the final
frame so it pauses before restarting.
- Cap the demo at max-width 46rem and centre it, so the player (fit:'width')
no longer scales its font up to the full splash column.
Casts re-recorded via `pnpm casts`. Build clean (25 pages).
Tab-keypress visibility deferred to an in-app overlay primitive (filed as
issue #22 — also serves the planned guided-lesson system); the cast notes
Tab in its caption for now.
Astro 6.4.5 deprecated markdown.remarkPlugins/rehypePlugins/remarkRehype in
favour of the new unified() API. The warning came from @astrojs/starlight
0.39.3's own integration code, not our config; Starlight 0.40.0 adopts the new
API, so it's gone.
- astro 6.4.4 -> 6.4.5; @astrojs/starlight 0.39.3 -> 0.40.0
(brings astro-expressive-code 0.43.1, @astrojs/markdown-remark 7.2.0)
- Starlight 0.40.0 adds an optional @astrojs/markdown-satteri peer (an opt-in
high-performance markdown engine); it's an optional peer so pnpm doesn't
install it, and we have no need for it — we stay on the default
markdown-remark/unified pipeline
Verified: deprecation gone; pnpm build clean (25 pages); rendering signals
unchanged vs baseline (highlighting, > prompt + copy-button :has() CSS, asides,
embedded casts); pnpm audit clean.
The previous commit captured only the .md→.mdx rename — a botched `git add`
(a stale .md pathspec aborted the whole add) dropped the actual content. This
adds it:
- casts.mjs: the assistive-editor cast definition (Tab completion → the [ERR]
validity indicator catching a misspelled table → friendly error → corrected
command). Behavior verified by a throwaway spike before scripting.
- public/casts/assistive-editor.cast (generated via `pnpm casts`)
- embed the cast under the intro on the assistive-editor page
Verified: pnpm build clean (25 pages); cast bundled, served, and referenced.
Visual playback check pending (verify via dev server/tunnel).
Add a second demo, earmarked as prime cast material: Tab completes a table
name, then the [ERR] validity indicator catches a misspelled table before
submit, the friendly error confirms it, and the corrected command runs.
Behavior verified by a throwaway spike before scripting.
- casts.mjs: assistive-editor cast definition
- public/casts/assistive-editor.cast (generated)
- convert the-assistive-editor.md -> .mdx and embed the cast under the intro
Verified: pnpm build clean (25 pages); cast bundled, served, and referenced
on the page. Visual playback check pending (verify via dev server/tunnel).
Settle the cast toolchain (STYLE.md #9) and build the demo pipeline end to
end. Driver: autocast, chosen by spike — its !Interactive feeds keys to the
running TUI and captures the redraw, the right model for a full-screen
crossterm app. asciinema-automation was rejected (assumes shell echo/\n Enter;
produced a garbled cast against the TUI).
- add asciinema-player; Cast.astro (player island) + Demo.astro (the WASM-swap
seam, ADR-website-001 §3)
- casts-src/: human-readable command-lists (casts.mjs) + generate.mjs, exposed
as `pnpm casts`; expands steps to autocast YAML and records to public/casts/.
Command-lists are the durable source; .cast files are regenerable (final
re-record sweep due once the app is locked).
- quickstart.cast (create -> add columns -> insert -> show data) embedded on
the landing page above the feature cards.
Verified: pnpm build clean (25 pages); player + cast bundled and served;
landing HTML references the cast. Visual playback check pending (no headless
browser here — verify via dev server over the tunnel).
Build the library: polish and extend from a 2-table draft into the full
guided build — all four tables, the authors→books 1:n and the books↔members
m:n through the loans bridge (bridge-table concept taught in context), the
isbn unique constraint, and captured show-relationships / show-data output.
Remove the draft marker; it is now publication-quality. Uses the same sample
rows as the Reference pages so output matches across the site.
Querying with joins (new): joins built up from two tables → the three-table
bridge join → a filtered join → a group-by aggregate, all in advanced mode
with real captured output.
Verified: pnpm build clean (25 pages); no forbidden terms; internal links
resolve. Advanced-mode `mode advanced`/`mode simple` and the unique
constraint checked against source.
Expand columns, relationships, indexes, constraints, inserting-and-editing-
data, and querying-and-inspecting from syntax-only stubs into full pages,
each with worked examples on the library schema and real captured app output
(structure boxes, relationship diagrams, data tables, show-lists, query
plans, cascade summaries). All output captured verbatim from the app — never
hand-drawn. Both simple- and advanced-mode forms shown where both apply;
advanced syntax verified against tests/source.
STYLE.md: record the output-block convention (plain unlabelled fence,
captured from a throwaway harness, not hand-drawn).
Verified: pnpm build clean (24 pages); no forbidden terms; internal links
and heading anchors resolve.
The website subproject drew ADR numbers from the same global integer pool
as main, so every merge risked a collision — this already happened twice
(drafted 0042, bumped to 0044, both landing on numbers main had taken; main
has now used 0044 for relationship visualization). Give the website its own
ADR namespace so the two never compete again.
- docs/adr/0044-public-website-...md
-> docs/website/adr/20260604-adr-website-001.md (id: ADR-website-001)
- docs/plans/20260604-adr-0044-website.md
-> docs/website/plans/20260604-website-implementation-plan.md
- new docs/website/adr/README.md index (dated <date>-adr-website-<NNN> seq)
- docs/adr/README.md: drop the 0044 entry, add a namespace pointer in the
intro (keeps the list tail == merge-base, so main's 0044 merges cleanly)
- ADR-0000: record the subproject-ADR-namespace convention
- update references in STYLE.md, astro.config.mjs, the plan body
Handoff files left untouched as point-in-time history.
Restructure the docs into five top-level sections, splitting the
application you drive from the database language you build with.
- New "Using the playground" section: command-line options; the assistive
editor (completion, highlighting, [ERR]/[WRN] indicator, hints, in-line
editing); the output pane (scrolling); projects (save/load/new/rebuild);
undo/redo & history; export & import; clipboard; getting help. Grounded in
the in-app help/usage and ADR-0003/0022/0027.
- Reference: seed the remaining topic pages (Columns, Relationships,
Indexes, Constraints, Inserting & editing data, Querying & inspecting)
with real syntax synopses; worked examples to follow.
- Surface the assistive editor on the landing page and in Getting started;
restore cross-links now that targets exist.
Plan + STYLE updated to the five-section structure. 24 pages, build green,
links resolve, content clean; planned features carry "planned" callouts.
Add a custom Shiki grammar for the simple-mode command language
(src/grammars/rdbms.mjs), registered with Expressive Code. Two language ids
share it: rdbms (real commands) and rdbms-syntax (abstract templates).
Simple-mode blocks now highlight; advanced examples keep sql.
Separation + copy ergonomics via CSS (global.css): a decorative, copy-safe
"> " prompt on rdbms command lines (not in the copy buffer), and the copy
button hidden on multi-command rdbms blocks and on rdbms-syntax templates
(the app input is single-line, so a multi-command paste is not runnable);
single-command, sql, and sh blocks keep copy.
Content: convert 22 simple-mode fences to rdbms; lead the simplest examples
(first project, Tables reference) with bare "with pk" (the beginner default
that creates a ready-made id key), pointing to the named form. Record the
fence + prompt conventions in STYLE.md.
Astro/Vite's default localhost bind resolves to IPv6 ::1 on this host,
which silently breaks `ssh -L 4321:127.0.0.1:4321` tunnels (they target
IPv4). Pin server.host to 127.0.0.1 so dev/preview is reachable over an
IPv4 loopback forward. Loopback-only — no network exposure.
Brings website up to date with main (18 commits): H1a parse-error
pedagogy, V5/H3/V5a show+help commands, ADR-0043 compound-PK FK,
handoffs 58-59, and the GitHub->Gitea doc scrub (Cargo.toml repository,
CLAUDE.md, ADR-0001 amendment, requirements).
Conflict: docs/adr/README.md. main and website had each created an
ADR-0042 (main: H1a parse-error pedagogy; website: public website &
docs site). Renumbered the website ADR to 0044 (next free after main's
0042/0043) and updated all references (ADR file, plan file, STYLE.md,
astro.config.mjs, README index). Website build verified green.
Phase D foundation. Configures the pragmatic four-section sidebar
(Getting started / Guides / Reference / Concepts) and replaces the
template example pages with grounded content built on the shared
"library" example database (authors/books/members/loans):
- Getting started: installation, first project, simple vs advanced,
the example library.
- Reference: Types (all ten + serial/shortid + advanced aliases),
Tables (create/drop, compound PK, advanced CREATE TABLE).
- Concepts: projects & storage (readable files, derived database,
autosave, temp projects).
- Guides: Build the library (draft, to be refined for teaching).
Command syntax grounded in en-US.yaml usage/help, command.rs, and
types.rs (verified against tests). Records the settled doc decisions
in STYLE.md. Build green (10 pages, Pagefind); content clean of
"DSL"/engine-name.
Phase A of docs/plans/20260604-adr-0042-website.md. Scaffolds the site
under website/ from the Starlight template; adds Tailwind v4 (via
@tailwindcss/vite) bridged to Starlight with @astrojs/starlight-tailwind
(src/styles/global.css + customCss). Production build is green: static
output, Pagefind search index, sharp image optimization.
Template placeholders (title, example pages, sidebar) are left for
Phase B/D. Reconciles the ADR/plan/index wording from "Astro 5" to
"Astro 6" to match the scaffolded toolchain.
Planning artifacts for the first public website, recorded before any
code is written.
- ADR-0042: the decisions — Astro 5 + Starlight + Tailwind v4 (over
SvelteKit); asciinema .cast demos reusable in docs (scripted-input
driver, not history.log replay); in-page WASM playground deferred
behind a stable demo seam, with the portable-core vs native-edge
boundary recorded for a future ADR; portable static hosting (Vercel
target); monorepo (website/); website is the canonical docs home;
full-feature-set docs with "planned" callouts; user-facing copy uses
no engine name and no "DSL"; install via prebuilt binaries + package
managers.
- docs/plans/20260604-adr-0042-website.md: implementation plan with the
grounded documentation inventory and phases A–E.
- website/STYLE.md: living documentation style guide + open-decisions log.
- docs/adr/README.md: index updated for ADR-0042 (numerical order).
