- 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).
