Session handover — Playwright coverage for the edit-mode photo editor

✅ COMPLETE (2026-07-07) — SUPERSEDED by 2026-07-05 → 2026-07-07-journal-post-form-review-handover-and-qa.md. The requested coverage landed: tests/ui/post/photo-editor.spec.js + edit-mode.spec.js now cover the add/delete/reorder happy and failure paths (auth-expiry "sign in again" E5/E7, retry-able delete failure E4/DEL3, prefill-failure ES2/ES3). Verified green: 39 passed on :8091 (2026-07-07). All remaining work (owner UI QA + landing) is tracked in the 2026-07-07 handover. This file is retained for history only — no further action.

Date: 2026-07-05 Branch: feat/journal-post-form (worktree: .worktrees/journal-post-form) Next session goal: Add Playwright coverage for the edit-mode photo editor add / delete / reorder paths — especially the failure paths just implemented, which currently have zero automated coverage.

---

TL;DR — where things stand

The photo-editor media-API feature is code-complete and committed but not smoke-tested. Three review follow-ups landed this session (commit 7ffd75e) on the edit-mode add/delete/reorder failure paths. Those paths are exercised by no existing test, so nothing proves the behavioral changes work end-to-end. That's the whole reason for the next session.

Do not push, do not bump the submodule pin, and do not touch the other-session WIP (see Constraints) until the new tests pass and Mischa says go.

Git state at handover

Outer repo (.worktrees/journal-post-form):

• HEAD = 7534d7d test(post-form): expect zero-padded photo-01..NN filenames
• Status: only M user — the submodule pin is intentionally stale (not bumped mid-feature; per project convention bump once at feature end). Leave it.

user/ submodule (branch feat/journal-post-form):

• HEAD = 7ffd75e fix(review): surface auth-expiry, harden add-batch rollback, add audit log
  • 361a6b4 fix(review): harden photo reorder against data loss + failure-path drift
  • a4432d8 feat(post-form): live photo editor on entry edit (media API + SortableJS)
• Dirty (DO NOT COMMIT — belongs to a different session):
  • config/plugins/api.yaml
  • config/site.yaml
  • themes/intotheeast/js/src/post-form.css (a trailing FilePond CSS block)
• Nothing pushed on either repo.

What commit 7ffd75e changed (the code under test)

All in the edit-mode photo editor (the initPhotoEditor IIFE in user/themes/intotheeast/js/src/post-form.js, bundled to user/themes/intotheeast/js/post/post-form.js):

1. Surfaced auth-expiry. Replaced the boolean apiOk with apiSend(url, opts, okStatuses), which rejects with an Error carrying .status. A lapsed owner login mid-edit (401/403) now shows "Your login session expired — sign in again, then retry." instead of a generic "try again". Applies to reorder, delete, and add paths (editErrorMsg(err, fallback) picks the copy).
2. Hardened the add-batch rollback (review item #6). When a post-upload reorder fails, the cleanup DELETEs no longer swallow individual failures. Each rollback DELETE resolves true/false (204/404 = truly gone); any false sets rollbackIncomplete, producing "Couldn't finish adding photos and cleanup was incomplete — reload the page and check your photos." instead of a false "rolled back cleanly". This closes the window where a surviving stock-named file steals the lexicographic cover slot (media.images|first).
3. Audit log on the two owner-only destructive routes in user/plugins/entry-actions/classes/EntryActionsApiController.php (deleteEntry, reorderPhotos) — behaviorally inert, logs owner + slug. Not worth a Playwright test.

User-facing strings to assert against (stable; survive minification):

• login session expired / sign in again
• cleanup was incomplete
• The N-photos-couldn't-be-added count message

---

The API surface the editor talks to

• Add photo: POST /api/v1/pages{route}/media (stock media API, multipart)
• Delete photo: DELETE /api/v1/pages{route}/media/{filename} — editor treats 204 and 404 as success
• Reorder: POST /api/v1/entry/{slug}/photos/order, body { "order": ["photo-01.jpg", …] } — custom scope-guarded route in the entry-actions plugin; returns 204
• All requests use credentials: 'include' (session-cookie auth).

Server-side numbering invariant lives in PhotoRenumberer (shared by cache-on-save + entry-actions): every on-disk image is renamed photo-01..NN zero-padded; the manifest only supplies order, and any unlisted image is appended (never lost).

Test harness facts (read before writing specs)

• Runner: Playwright, config at playwright.config.js. testDir: ./tests/ui. Specs are *.spec.js.
• Auth is already solved. The setup project (tests/ui/auth/auth.setup.js) logs in with GRAV_TEST_USER / GRAV_TEST_PASS (from .env) and saves storageState to tests/.auth/user.json; the chromium project loads it. So every test already runs as the authenticated owner — edit mode is reachable without extra login steps.
• ⚠️ Port: baseURL defaults to http://localhost:8081, but this worktree's dev container serves on :8091 (itte_journal_grav, mapped 8091->80). Run with GRAV_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8091 or the specs will hit the wrong container.
• Helpers (tests/ui/helpers.js, exported): fillEditor, waitForPhotoUpload, postEntry, cleanupEntry, findEntry, readEntryMd, TRACKER_DIR, ACTIVE_TRIP_URL. findEntry(tag)/cleanupEntry(tag) locate/remove an entry folder on disk — use them to build a fixture entry and to clean up.
• Existing post specs live in tests/ui/post/ (post-form-ux.spec.js, post.spec.js, validation.spec.js). They cover the create form only — none open /post?edit=… or the photo editor. Mirror their style (fixtures at tests/fixtures/test-photo*.jpg).
• Global setup/teardown: tests/global-setup.js / tests/global-teardown.js.

---

Suggested test plan for the next session

Edit mode is GET /post?edit=<slug> (verify the exact param against the template). Failure paths need page.route() interception to force API errors — that's the core technique here.

1. Fixture: post one entry via the create form (or drop a folder), capture its slug, open it in edit mode. Clean up with cleanupEntry in afterAll.
2. Happy paths (no interception): add a photo → persists (appears on disk / in grid); delete a photo → gone; drag-reorder → files renamed photo-01..NN in new order.
3. Auth-expiry (item #1): page.route('**/api/v1/**', r => r.fulfill({ status: 401 })) on a reorder/delete/add → assert the "login session expired … sign in again" copy appears.
4. Incomplete rollback (#6): let the uploads succeed but force the reorder to fail and at least one cleanup DELETE to fail (route-match DELETE **/media/** → 500). Assert the "cleanup was incomplete — reload" message. This is the highest-value, never-before-tested branch.
5. Delete failure: force a DELETE to 500 → assert "Couldn't delete that photo. Try again." and the photo stays in the grid.

Keep assertions on the user-facing strings above, not on minified identifiers.

Also pending: manual smoke test

Independent of automation, the behavioral changes still want one manual owner-session pass on :8091: log in, open an entry in edit mode, add/delete/reorder and confirm each persists; then simulate a lapsed session and confirm the "sign in again" copy. If Playwright covers 2–5 above, this becomes a quick confidence check rather than the only verification.

Constraints (carried from this session — still in force)

• Other-session WIP is off-limits. Do not stage/commit config/plugins/api.yaml, config/site.yaml, or the FilePond block in themes/intotheeast/js/src/post-form.css. If make build-assets recompiles css-compiled/post-form.css from that dirty source, revert it: git checkout -- themes/intotheeast/css-compiled/post-form.css.
• Never read .env, .env.prod, .env.test (pass them to make/compose only). GRAV_TEST_USER/PASS live there.
• Only write inside travel-blog-intotheeast/ or subfolders.
• Do not bump the submodule pin or push until the feature is done and Mischa approves.
• Do not hand-edit the bundle (js/post/post-form.js) or css-compiled/* — edit js/src/* and rebuild with make build-assets.
• No dev/prod mode switching; fix issues at the app level.
• New test files go in the outer repo (tests/ is outer-repo, not the user/ submodule).
