-# 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>.
-argument-hint: "[PR# | PR-url | branch] [--scope <sel>] [--base <ref>] [--theme both] [--all] [--no-autocrop]"

-
-# 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.

-  or QA pass, "find anywhere to make it easier/better for users", or before

-  re-capture; --theme to limit themes; --no-rtl to skip RTL.

-# 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.
