# TASK-001D Changelog: Legacy Read-Only Enforcement

## Phase 5: Critical Bug Fixes (2026-01-13) ✅

**Status:** COMPLETE - Critical corruption bugs fixed!

### 🐛 Critical Bugs Fixed

#### Bug 1: Auto-Default Corruption

- **Issue:** ProjectModel constructor auto-defaulted `runtimeVersion` to `'react19'` for ALL projects
- **Impact:** Legacy projects were silently marked as React 19 when loaded
- **Fix:** Removed auto-default from constructor; explicitly set only for NEW projects

#### Bug 2: Auto-Save Bypassed Read-Only Flag

- **Issue:** `saveProject()` ignored `_isReadOnly` flag, saving every 1000ms
- **Impact:** Legacy projects had `project.json` overwritten even in "read-only" mode
- **Fix:** Added explicit check to skip save when `_isReadOnly === true`

#### Bug 3: Insufficient User Warnings

- **Issue:** Only EditorBanner showed read-only status
- **Impact:** Users could edit for hours without realizing changes won't save
- **Fix:** Added 10-second toast warning on opening read-only projects

### ✅ Changes Made

**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/projectmodel.ts`

- Removed `runtimeVersion` auto-default from constructor
- Added critical read-only check in `saveProject()` function
- Added console logging for skip confirmations

**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/utils/LocalProjectsModel.ts`

- Explicitly set `runtimeVersion: 'react19'` when creating new projects (template path)
- Explicitly set `runtimeVersion: 'react19'` when creating new projects (empty/minimal path)
- Ensures only NEW projects get the field, OLD projects remain undefined

**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/pages/ProjectsPage/ProjectsPage.tsx`

- Added 10-second warning toast when opening read-only legacy projects
- Uses `ToastLayer.showError()` for high visibility

### 🎯 Protection Layers Achieved

1. **Code-Level:** Auto-save physically blocked for read-only projects
2. **UI-Level:** EditorBanner shows permanent warning at top of canvas
3. **Toast-Level:** 10-second warning appears on opening
4. **Console-Level:** Logs confirm saves are being skipped

### 📊 Testing Verification

**Before Fix:**

- Open legacy project in read-only → `project.json` gets corrupted → Legacy badge disappears

**After Fix:**

- Open legacy project in read-only → Multiple warnings → No disk writes → Legacy badge persists ✅

---

## Phase 4: Investigation (2026-01-13) ✅

**Status:** COMPLETE - Root causes identified

### 🔍 Discovery Process

1. User reported: "Legacy project badge disappeared after opening in read-only mode"
2. Investigation found: `project.json` had `runtimeVersion: "react19"` added to disk
3. Root cause 1: Constructor auto-default applied to ALL projects
4. Root cause 2: Auto-save bypassed `_isReadOnly` flag completely

### 📝 Key Findings

- Legacy projects don't have `runtimeVersion` field in `project.json`
- Constructor couldn't distinguish between "loading old project" vs "creating new project"
- Read-only flag existed but was never enforced at save time
- Silent corruption: No errors, no warnings, just data loss

---

## Phase 3: Read-Only Routing (2026-01-13) ✅

**Status:** COMPLETE

### ✅ Changes Made

**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/pages/AppRouter.ts`

- Added `readOnly?: boolean` parameter to route definitions

**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/router.tsx`

- Pass `readOnly` flag from route params to `ProjectModel.instance._isReadOnly`

**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/pages/ProjectsPage/ProjectsPage.tsx`

- Wire "Open Read-Only" button to pass `readOnly: true` flag when routing

### 🎯 Outcome

- Read-only flag properly flows from UI → Router → ProjectModel
- Foundation for enforcement (bugs discovered in Phase 4 broke this!)

---

## Phase 2: Wire Banner to NodeGraphEditor (2026-01-13) ✅

**Status:** COMPLETE

### ✅ Changes Made

**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/nodegrapheditor.ts`

- Import and render `EditorBanner` component above canvas
- Position at `top: 0`, spans full width
- Adjust canvas top padding when banner is visible

**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/templates/nodegrapheditor.html`

- Add `<div id="editor-banner-root"></div>` mount point

### 🎯 Outcome

- Banner displays at top of editor canvas
- Shows legacy project warnings
- Shows read-only mode indicators

---

## Phase 1: Create EditorBanner Component (2026-01-13) ✅

---

## Phase 12: Simplify EditorBanner UX (2026-01-13) ✅

**Status:** COMPLETE - Migration flow simplified

### 🎯 UX Improvement

**Issue:** EditorBanner had "Migrate Now" and "Learn More" buttons, creating confusion about where migration should happen.

**Decision:** Migration should ONLY happen from launcher, not from within editor. Users should quit to launcher to migrate.

### ✅ Changes Made

**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/EditorBanner/EditorBanner.tsx`

- Removed `onMigrateNow` and `onLearnMore` props from interface
- Removed action buttons section from JSX
- Updated description text: "Return to the launcher to migrate it before editing"
- Removed unused imports (`PrimaryButton`, `PrimaryButtonVariant`, `TextButton`)

**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/nodegrapheditor.ts`

- Removed `onMigrateNow` and `onLearnMore` props from EditorBanner render call
- Removed `handleMigrateNow()` handler method
- Removed `handleLearnMore()` handler method
- Kept `handleDismissBanner()` for close button functionality

### 🎯 Final UX

**EditorBanner (Top):**

- Solid black background with yellow border
- Warning text: "Legacy Project (React 17) - Read-Only Mode"
- Description: "Return to the launcher to migrate it before editing"
- User CAN close banner with X button (optional - clears workspace)

**Toast (Bottom Right):**

- Warning: "READ-ONLY MODE - No changes will be saved"
- NO close button (permanent reminder)
- Stays forever (`duration: Infinity`)

**Migration Flow:**

- User must quit editor and return to launcher
- Use "Migrate Project" button on project card in launcher
- OR use "Open Read-Only" to safely inspect legacy projects

## Phase 11: Remove Toast Close Button (2026-01-13) ✅

**Status:** COMPLETE

### 🎯 Enhancement: Make Toast Truly Permanent

**Issue:** Toast had a close button, allowing users to dismiss the read-only warning and forget they're in read-only mode.

**Solution:** Remove close button entirely so toast stays visible permanently.

### ✅ Changes Made

**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/ToastLayer/ToastLayer.tsx`

- Removed `onClose` callback from `ToastCard` props in `showError()`
- Toast now has NO way to be dismissed by user
- Combined with `duration: Infinity`, toast is truly permanent

### 🎯 Outcome

- Toast remains on screen forever with no close button
- Constant visual reminder of read-only mode
- Perfect balance: Banner can be closed for workspace, toast ensures they can't forget

---

## Phase 10: Solid Black Banner Background (2026-01-13) ✅

**Status:** COMPLETE

### 🎯 Enhancement: Improve Banner Visibility

**Issue:** Banner had semi-transparent yellow background - hard to see against light canvas.

**Solution:** Changed to solid black background with yellow border for maximum contrast and visibility.

### ✅ Changes Made

**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/EditorBanner/EditorBanner.module.scss`

```scss
/* Before */
background: rgba(255, 193, 7, 0.15);

/* After */
background: #1a1a1a;
border-bottom: 2px solid var(--theme-color-warning, #ffc107);
```

### 🎯 Outcome

- Banner now highly visible with solid dark background
- Yellow border provides clear warning indication
- Excellent contrast with any canvas content

---

## Phase 9: Make Toast Permanent (2026-01-13) ✅

**Status:** COMPLETE

### 🎯 Enhancement: Permanent Toast Warning

**Issue:** Toast warning disappeared after 10 seconds, allowing users to forget they're in read-only mode.

**Solution:** Changed toast duration to `Infinity` so it stays visible permanently.

### ✅ Changes Made

**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/ToastLayer/ToastLayer.tsx`

- Changed default `duration` in `showError()` from `10000` to `Infinity`
- Toast now stays visible until explicitly dismissed or app closed

### 🎯 Outcome

- Constant visual reminder in bottom-right corner
- Users cannot forget they're in read-only mode
- Complements dismissible EditorBanner nicely

---

## Phase 8: Fix Banner Transparency (2026-01-13) ✅

**Status:** COMPLETE - Banner now fully interactive

### 🐛 Bug Fixed

**Issue:** EditorBanner had `pointer-events: none` in CSS, making it impossible to click buttons or close the banner.

**Root Cause:** CSS rule intended to allow clicking through banner was preventing ALL interactions.

**Solution:** Removed `pointer-events: none` from banner container, allowing normal click behavior.

### ✅ Changes Made

**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/EditorBanner/EditorBanner.module.scss`

```scss
.EditorBanner {
  /* pointer-events: none; ❌ REMOVED - was blocking all clicks */
  pointer-events: auto; /* ✅ Allow all interactions */
}
```

### 🎯 Outcome

- Banner fully interactive: close button, action buttons all work
- Canvas below banner still clickable (proper z-index layering)
- No impact on normal editor workflow

---

## Phase 7: Initial Read-Only Open Warning (2026-01-13) ✅

**Status:** COMPLETE

### 🎯 Enhancement: Immediate User Feedback

**Issue:** Users needed immediate feedback when opening a project in read-only mode, not just a dismissible banner.

**Solution:** Show 10-second toast warning when project initially opens in read-only mode.

### ✅ Changes Made

**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/pages/ProjectsPage/ProjectsPage.tsx`

- Added toast warning in `openProject()` when `readOnly` flag is true
- Toast message: "READ-ONLY MODE - No changes will be saved"
- Duration: 10 seconds (highly visible but not permanent)

### 🎯 Outcome

- Immediate feedback on project open
- 10-second duration ensures users see it
- Complements EditorBanner with additional warning layer

---

## Phase 6: Fix Banner Pointer Events (2026-01-13) ✅

**Status:** COMPLETE

### 🐛 Bug Fixed

**Issue:** EditorBanner blocked clicks to canvas below, making editor unusable when banner was visible.

**Root Cause:** Banner had `position: fixed` with full width, creating an invisible click-blocking layer over canvas.

**Solution:** Added `pointer-events: none` to banner container, `pointer-events: auto` to interactive children.

### ✅ Changes Made

**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/EditorBanner/EditorBanner.module.scss`

```scss
.EditorBanner {
  pointer-events: none; /* Allow clicks to pass through container */
}

.Icon,
.Content,
.Actions,
.CloseButton {
  pointer-events: auto; /* Re-enable clicks on interactive elements */
}
```

### 🎯 Outcome

- Banner visible but doesn't block canvas interactions
- Close button and action buttons still fully clickable
- Editor fully functional with banner visible
