+# Feature / Branch Walkthrough
+
+Turn the current branch into a walkthrough a newcomer can follow. Audience:
+**someone who has never seen this task**. Explain the *why*, the *flow*, and *how to
+try it* - not just a diff summary.
+
+`$ARGUMENTS` may name a branch or area to focus on; default is the current branch
+vs `main`. Flags: `--html` (also emit a rendered HTML twin), `--no-screens`.
+
+## Process
+
+### 1. Scope the change
+- `git log --oneline main..HEAD` and `git diff --stat main...HEAD` for the shape.
+- Read the PR description / commit messages for stated intent. Do **not** invent
+  history or motivation that isn't evidenced (state current behavior in present tense).
+- Classify touched files by layer:
+  - **Frontend**: tools (`frontend/editor/src/core/components/tools/*` or `.../core/tools/*`),
+    hooks (`core/hooks/tools/*`, `useToolOperation`), contexts, routes, i18n
+    (`public/locales/en-US`).
+  - **Java backend**: controllers (`.../controller/api/...`), services, models, config.
+  - **Engine**: `engine/src/stirling/{agents,contracts,api,services}`.
+  - **Config / build / docker / tests.**
+
+### 2. Trace the flow end-to-end
+Follow one real path from user action to result. For a typical PDF tool that's:
+UI control → `useToolOperation` hook → `POST /api/v1/...` → Spring controller →
+service (PDFBox / LibreOffice / engine call) → response → review panel → download.
+Read the actual files so the narrative is true to the code, and collect the exact
+file:line anchors you'll cite.
+
+### 3. Draw the diagrams (Mermaid)
+Pick what fits; usually 2-3 of:
+- **Sequence diagram** - request/response across frontend → backend → engine.
+- **Flowchart** - the core decision/branching logic of the feature.
+- **Architecture/component** - new pieces and how they wire to existing ones.
+- **State** - if the feature has modes/steps.
+Keep nodes labeled in plain language. Validate the Mermaid parses before shipping.
+
+### 4. Screenshots (unless --no-screens)
+If a UI is involved, capture key states with the stubbed Playwright harness
+(see the **ui-walkthrough** skill and `files-page-screenshots.spec.ts` for the
+pattern) or, for before/after, capture `main` then the branch. Drop PNGs in
+`walkthrough/<feature>/` and reference them from the doc. For backend-only
+changes, show request/response examples (curl + JSON) instead.
+
+### 5. Write the walkthrough
+Create `walkthrough/<feature>/FEATURE-WALKTHROUGH.md` with:
+1. **TL;DR** - what the branch does and who it's for, in 3-4 sentences.
+2. **Problem & approach** - what wasn't possible before; the chosen solution.
+3. **Architecture diagram** + 1-paragraph orientation.
+4. **End-to-end flow** - the sequence diagram + a numbered walk of each step,
+   each citing the real file (clickable `path:line`).
+5. **Key files** - annotated map (path → one line on its role).
+6. **Logic deep-dive** - the flowchart + prose for the non-obvious decisions.
+7. **Behavior** - before vs after; screenshots or request/response examples.
+8. **Try it locally** - exact steps (`task dev` / `task dev:all`, the route to
+   open or the curl to run, any env like `DOCKER_ENABLE_SECURITY` or a test
+   license key). Make it copy-pasteable.
+9. **Edge cases, risks, follow-ups** - what's untested, known limits, gotchas.
+
+Markdown is the primary deliverable - it renders with diagrams in GitHub PRs and
+IDEs, no build step, ideal for review.
+
+### 6. If `--html`
+Also emit `walkthrough/<feature>/walkthrough.html`: the same content with Mermaid
+rendered via `mermaid.initialize({startOnLoad:true})` (script from CDN; note in
+the file that rendering diagrams needs network, the `.md` is the offline copy) and
+screenshots inline. Keep it self-contained otherwise.
+
+### 7. Deliver
+Give the doc path and a short chat summary. Offer to `SendUserFile` it.
+
+## Principles
+- **True to the code.** Every claim traces to a file you read; cite `path:line`.
+  No fabricated migration/version history.
+- **Newcomer-first.** Define repo-specific terms (FileContext, `useToolOperation`,
+  the `@app/*` layer cascade, stubbed vs live tests) on first use.
+- **Show, don't assert.** Prefer a diagram + a real example over adjectives.
+- Don't commit the `walkthrough/` output unless asked.

+name: ui-before-after
+description: >-
+  Analyse a branch or PR and automatically capture before/after screenshots of
+  every UI surface its changes touch, then pixel-diff the pairs to surface what
+  actually changed and assemble PR-ready before/after montage images. Generic and
+  diff-driven: it derives the capture targets from the diff (changed tools/routes →
+  URLs) instead of hand-listing screens, captures "before" from the base branch and
+  "after" from the head, then keeps only the views that visually differ. Each
+  comparison is auto-cropped to the region that actually changed (the bounding box of
+  differing pixels), falling back to the full page only when the change spans most of
+  it. Use for before/after shots, a visual diff of a branch/PR, "screenshots for the
+  PR description", "show what changed in the UI", or a side-by-side of UI changes.
+  Takes a PR number/URL (resolved via gh) or a branch; defaults to the current branch
+  vs its base. Flags: --scope <selector>, --base <ref|merge-base>, --theme
+  light|dark|both, --all (capture every route, not just changed), --no-autocrop,
+  --pagewide <n>, --threshold <n>.

+
+# UI Before / After (generic visual diff)
+
+Point it at a branch or PR; it figures out which UI changed, screenshots every
+affected surface **before** (base) and **after** (head), pixel-diffs the pairs, and
+montages the ones that actually changed into images for the PR description.
+
+`$ARGUMENTS`: a PR number/URL, a branch, or nothing (current branch vs base).
+By default it captures the full viewport and auto-crops each comparison to the region
+that changed. Flags: `--scope <css>` (narrow the *capture* to a container, e.g.
+`[data-sidebar="tool-panel"]`, when you already know where the change is),
+`--no-autocrop` (keep full frames), `--pagewide <fraction>` (above this share of the
+page, skip cropping; default 0.6), `--base <ref|merge-base>`,
+`--theme light|dark|both`, `--all` (walk every route, not just changed),
+`--threshold <fraction>` (diff sensitivity, default 0.001).
+
+Shares the capture harness with **ui-walkthrough** - read its SKILL.md for the
+stubbed-Playwright setup, worktree node_modules + `generate-icons`, the
+stale-`:5173` gotcha, and the dark-mode init-script. Bundled helpers:
+[capture-spec.template.ts](capture-spec.template.ts), [diff-shots.mjs](diff-shots.mjs),
+[montage-template.html](montage-template.html), [shoot-sections.mjs](shoot-sections.mjs).
+
+## Process
+
+### 1. Resolve target + base
+```
+gh pr view <pr> --json number,title,headRefName,baseRefName,url,files   # PR
+# or branch: base = merge-base(main, HEAD); head = HEAD
+gh pr diff <pr> --name-only        # or: git diff --name-only <base>...HEAD
+```
+
+### 2. Derive capture targets from the diff (the "analyse" step - no hand-listing)
+Map changed frontend files to URLs generically:
+- **Tools**: a changed `components/tools/<toolDir>/…` or `hooks/tools/<tool>/…` →
+  toolId → URL via the repo's own rule `getToolUrlPath` in
+  [toolsTaxonomy.ts:200](frontend/editor/src/core/data/toolsTaxonomy.ts): `/` + the
+  id kebab-cased (`addPageNumbers` → `/add-page-numbers`).
+- **Pages/routes**: changed `filesPage/*` → `/files`, etc.
+- `--all`: enumerate every tool in the registry instead of just changed ones.
+Write `frontend/editor/screenshots/ui-diff/targets.json` =
+`[{ "id":"compress", "url":"/compress", "name":"Compress" }]`. This is what makes
+it generic - the spec never names a tool.
+
+### 3. Capture AFTER (head) then BEFORE (base)
+Copy [capture-spec.template.ts](capture-spec.template.ts) →
+`src/core/tests/stubbed/ui-before-after.spec.ts` (it loops `targets.json`, seeds a
+sample PDF so file-dependent panels render, navigates to each URL, and screenshots
+the full viewport - or the `--scope` container if given). Ensure the harness is ready
+(node_modules + icons).
+```
+# after = current head
+cd frontend/editor && PR_SHOT_SIDE=after PR_SHOT_THEME=light \
+  npx playwright test --project=stubbed ui-before-after.spec.ts
+# before = base, in an isolated worktree (copy the spec + targets.json in)
+git worktree add ../ba-base origin/<baseRefName>        # or the merge-base
+#   set up its frontend, copy spec + screenshots/ui-diff/targets.json across, then:
+cd ../ba-base/frontend/editor && PR_SHOT_SIDE=before PR_SHOT_THEME=light \
+  npx playwright test --project=stubbed ui-before-after.spec.ts
+#   copy its screenshots/ui-diff/before/ back next to after/. Repeat with
+#   PR_SHOT_THEME=dark if --theme includes dark. Remove worktree when done.
+```
+
+### 4. Auto-diff (surface what changed)
+```
+cd frontend/editor && node <skill>/diff-shots.mjs \
+  screenshots/ui-diff/before screenshots/ui-diff/after screenshots/ui-diff
+```
+Produces `diff-report.json` classifying each view `unchanged | changed | added |
+removed`. For each changed view it computes the bounding box of differing pixels and
+writes cropped `__before_crop.png` / `__after_crop.png` / `__diff.png` to that region
+(+ padding) - **unless** the change covers more than `--pagewide` of the frame, where
+it keeps the full frame (`pageWide:true`). Drop `unchanged` - that's the noise the
+user doesn't want.
+
+### 5. Montage the changes
+Build the manifest from the non-unchanged entries (group by tab/tool; each becomes a
+state row with before/after). For changed views use the cropped `cropBefore` /
+`cropAfter` from `diff-report.json` (tight on the affected region; full frame when
+`pageWide`); `added`/`removed` render the "not present" placeholder. Fill
+[montage-template.html](montage-template.html) (replace the `window.__BA__` data
+block; base64-inline the PNGs for portability), then render one PNG per section with
+[shoot-sections.mjs](shoot-sections.mjs). Optionally include the `__diff.png` overlay
+as a third column.
+
+### 6. Deliver
+Output the `montage_<tab>.png` files + a short summary (N changed / added / removed,
+M unchanged skipped) and a paste-ready Markdown block. GitHub has no PR-body image
+API, so tell the user to drag the PNGs into the description. Do **not** post to the
+PR.
+
+## Gotchas
+- Two installs (base worktree + head); junction main's node_modules only if its deps
+  match that ref, else `npm ci` (see ui-walkthrough's stale-dep note).
+- A view that errors on one side (refactored/removed) → that side is missing; the
+  diff marks it added/removed rather than failing the run.
+- Pixel diff needs equal dimensions, so capture at a fixed viewport (the template
+  does); a view whose size changed is reported as "changed (dimensions differ)",
+  uncropped.
+- Auto-crop uses a single bounding box, so two far-apart changes give one large crop
+  (or trip `--pagewide`); narrow with `--scope` if that happens.
+- `getToolUrlPath` is the source of truth for tool URLs - use it, don't guess slugs.
+- Don't commit `screenshots/`, the throwaway spec, or the base worktree.

+
+# UI Walkthrough
+
+Produce a reviewable HTML walkthrough of a feature's UI in every state and theme,
+then critique it. Optionally auto-fix and re-capture.
+
+`$ARGUMENTS` may name the feature/area to focus on. If empty, scope from the
+current branch diff. Flags: `--fix`, `--theme light|dark|both` (default both),
+`--no-rtl`, `--breakpoints` (also capture phone/narrow widths).
+
+## What this repo gives you (use it, don't reinvent)
+
+- **Stubbed Playwright project** = backend-free screenshots via `page.route()` mocks.
+  Reference implementation: `frontend/editor/src/core/tests/stubbed/files-page-screenshots.spec.ts`.
+  It already shows the light / **dark** / **RTL** passes, JWT seeding, IndexedDB
+  seeding, and dumping PNGs to a `screenshots/<area>/` folder. Copy its shape.
+- Helpers: `frontend/editor/src/core/tests/helpers/ui-helpers.ts`
+  (`uploadFiles`, `openSettings`, `waitForModalOpen`, `dismissTourTooltip`, …)
+  and the `stub-test-base` fixtures (`autoGoto`, `seedJwt`, `viewport`).
+- Config: `frontend/editor/playwright.config.ts` (run from `frontend/editor/`).
+- Report template: [report-template.html](report-template.html) - self-contained,
+  one big image at a time, a global light/dark slider that flips every shot,
+  thumbnail rail, prev/next + arrow keys, and a Findings tab.
+
+## Process
+
+### 1. Scope the feature
+- If `$ARGUMENTS` is empty: `git diff --name-only main...HEAD` and read the PR/commits.
+  Identify changed pages, tools (`core/components/tools/<tool>` or `core/tools/<tool>`),
+  dialogs, panels, and routes.
+- Enumerate **every view and state** to capture, e.g.:
+  empty / populated / loading / error / disabled; each dialog, menu, popover, tooltip;
+  each tab or step; selection + multi-select; success/result panel; and (if relevant)
+  permission/role variants. Write the list down before capturing - it's the report's spine.
+
+### 2. Prepare the harness (worktree-safe)
+Worktrees have no `node_modules` and no generated icons. From repo root:
+```
+cd frontend && npm ci                       # or junction main's node_modules (see memory)
+cd frontend/editor && node scripts/generate-icons.js
+```
+Kill any stale dev server first (it serves old modules):
+`Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 5173 -State Listen | %{ Stop-Process -Id $_.OwningProcess -Force }`
+
+### 3. Write the capture spec
+Create `frontend/editor/src/core/tests/stubbed/<feature>-walkthrough.spec.ts`,
+modeled on `files-page-screenshots.spec.ts`. For each enumerated view:
+- stub the APIs it needs, drive the UI to that state, wait on a real locator
+  (not a fixed sleep), `await settle(page)` for Mantine portals, then
+  `page.screenshot({ path: shotPath("NN_name_<theme>") })`.
+- Capture each view in **light and dark** (and RTL unless `--no-rtl`). Reuse the
+  `enableDarkMode` / `enableRtl` init-script pattern from the reference spec
+  (`localStorage["mantine-color-scheme"]="dark"` + `emulateMedia({colorScheme:"dark"})`).
+- Name shots `NN_<view>_<theme>.png` so light/dark pair up by suffix.
+- Prefer **stable test-ids** over translated accessible names (RTL/i18n breaks text locators).
+
+Run it: `cd frontend/editor && npx playwright test --project=stubbed <feature>-walkthrough.spec.ts`.
+Add `--project=stubbed-firefox`/`-webkit` only if cross-browser layout matters.
+
+### 4. Build the report
+- Copy `report-template.html` to `screenshots/<feature>/walkthrough.html` (so the
+  relative `screenshots/...` image paths resolve, or rewrite paths to sit beside it).
+- Build the manifest and inject it: replace the JSON between the
+  `/*__DATA__*/` … `/*__END__*/` markers with one `views[]` entry per view
+  (`{id,title,light,dark,viewport,notes}`) and an empty `findings` object you'll
+  fill in step 5. Keep `light`/`dark` as relative paths.
+- The toggle slider answers the "one big image + flip light/dark for all" request:
+  it shows a single large screenshot, and switching the slider re-themes every view.
+
+### 5. Review pass 1 - visual & consistency
+Open each screenshot (Read the PNG) and judge against the others:
+alignment & spacing rhythm, control placement, button hierarchy, typography,
+**light/dark parity** (contrast, invisible borders, washed-out text, wrong tokens),
+truncation/overflow, RTL mirroring, focus states, icon consistency, professional polish.
+Record each issue as a finding `{severity:high|med|low, view, title, detail, fix}`.
+
+### 6. Review pass 2 - UX & ease of use
+Walk the flow as a first-time user: discoverability, number of steps, affordance
+clarity, empty-state guidance, error recovery, destructive-action confirmation,
+defaults, loading feedback, mobile reachability, accessible names, and whether the
+UI matches user expectations for this kind of tool. Record findings the same way.
+
+Write both finding lists into the report's `findings.visual` / `findings.ux`,
+and add short per-view `notes`. Re-inject the manifest.
+
+### 7. If `--fix`
+Only safe, self-contained frontend fixes (spacing, alignment, tokens, missing
+dark-mode colors, labels, aria, obvious copy). For each: edit the component/CSS,
+mark the finding `fixed:true` with what changed, then **re-run the spec** to
+re-capture the affected shots and regenerate the report. Run `task frontend:check`.
+Leave anything risky or ambiguous as a finding, not a change.
+
+### 8. Deliver
+Tell the user the report path and give a tight chat summary: N views ×
+themes captured, top findings by severity, and (if `--fix`) what changed.
+Optionally `SendUserFile` the `walkthrough.html`.
+
+## Gotchas
+- Stale `:5173` server serves old bundles - kill it before capturing (see step 2).
+- Missing `material-symbols-icons.json` → blank app → every shot times out. Run
+  `generate-icons.js` first.
+- `await settle(page)` before shots or portals/transitions tear mid-capture.
+- Don't commit the generated `screenshots/` or the throwaway spec unless asked.

+The `@app/*` alias automatically resolves to the correct layer based on build target (core/proprietary/saas/desktop/cloud) and handles the fallback cascade — see "Frontend `cloud/` Layer" below for the full per-flavor order.
+
+#### Frontend `cloud/` Layer
+
+`@app/*` resolves through a per-flavor cascade — first existing file wins (shadow/override):
+
+- **core** → core
+- **proprietary** → proprietary → core
+- **saas** → saas → cloud → proprietary → core
+- **desktop** → desktop → cloud → proprietary → core
+- **cloud** → cloud → proprietary → core
+
+What goes where:
+
+- **core** — OSS base.
+- **proprietary** — licensed / offline features.
+- **cloud** — the SHARED hosted/SaaS experience used by BOTH saas + desktop: PAYG, wallet, plan, billing, usage meters, cloud config/team/onboarding.
+- **saas** — web-only: Supabase web auth, AuthCallback, avatar canvas, `window.location`.
+- **desktop** — Tauri-only: keyring authService, tauriHttpClient, native files/windows, backend routing.
+
+`cloud/` MUST NOT import `@supabase/*`, `@tauri-apps/*`, raw `fetch`, `window.location`, `localStorage`, `sessionStorage`, or `import.meta.env.VITE_*` (enforced by ESLint). It reaches platform-specific things only via `@app/*` seams: `services/apiClient`, `auth/session.getAccessToken`, `auth/supabase`, `platform/openExternal`, `services/billing`, `hooks/useSaaSMode` — each provided per-platform in `saas/` and `desktop/`.
+
+Rule of thumb — **move, don't copy**: share via `cloud/`, override by shadowing the same `@app/*` path in a leaf (`saas/` or `desktop/`).
+
+**Cloud feature flags on desktop.** The local `AppConfigContext` reads `/api/v1/config/app-config` from the LOCAL bundled backend, so cloud-only flags (`aiEngineEnabled`, `premiumEnabled`, …) are never seen on desktop. To read the cloud's view, use `useSaasAppConfig()` (`desktop/hooks/useSaasAppConfig.ts`, backed by the general `saasAppConfigService` — SaaS-mode-only, public endpoint, native HTTP, 5-min cache). It returns `null` outside SaaS mode, so cloud features stay off in local/self-hosted and the server keeps the on/off switch (no desktop release needed to flip a flag). Gate a feature behind a per-platform seam — e.g. `useAiEngineEnabled()` (core reads `useAppConfig()`, desktop reads `useSaasAppConfig()`) — rather than hardcoding the flag on.

 #### Component Override Pattern (Stub/Shadow)
 Use this pattern for desktop-specific or proprietary-specific features WITHOUT runtime checks or conditionals.
