landings: the record shows its whole message, and the heading shows no markup

Two faults from one cause. A message written with no blank line has no prose under the header at all — zit put the whole thing in the title card. So clipping the heading dropped 290 of 362 characters with nowhere left to read them, and the record rendered no description. The opener now falls back to the title, rendered like any other body, which is also the only way its Markdown ever reaches a reader.

The heading drops the marks instead: an h1 is plain text, so *emphasis* arrived as literal asterisks and read as a rendering bug. Asterisks and backticks only — _x_ in prose and my_file_name in a path are the same three characters, and mangling every identifier to italicise a rare one is the worse trade. check-in: db743a90a0 user: dmestas tags: trunk

13:07
landings: the heading is a headline, not the whole message

zit puts the entire -m message in the record's title card, so a message written without a subject line arrives as one 400-character 'line' that firstLine returns whole — an h1 that fills a phone screen before the record says anything about itself.

Clipped at the same 72 the timeline already uses for this exact string, so the two agree on what a landing is called. Nothing is lost: the opener's full text renders immediately below as the description. check-in: ff1cfd1aa9 user: dmestas tags: trunk

web: the repository tabs read as labels, not as route names

Files, Timeline, Tickets, Docs, Landings, Forum, CI, Chat — and Repositories/People on the home tabs. CI is spelled, not capitalised: a text-transform would have rendered it Ci.

navlink matches the active tab on its section argument, so the label was only ever display text. check-in: 5a07f20dd6 user: dmestas tags: trunk

10:54
Doc tabs: keep the URL on the tab you are reading

Switching README to LICENSE swapped the panel and left the address bar behind, so the tab on screen was unlinkable and a reload dropped you back on README — even though /r/REPO?doc=LICENSE has always been a real route, and the anchor was already carrying it as its href.

Moves the tabs onto syncurl, which corrects the address bar to that same href before fetching the fragment. check-in: c2775268a4 user: dmestas tags: url-sync-doctabs

One definition of swap-the-body-and-fix-the-URL

The diff toggle carried the replaceState handler as literal text in two attributes, with the reasoning in a comment above them. Both move onto a syncurl helper, so the next surface that needs it gets the try/catch and the replaceState-not-pushState choice for free instead of by copy-paste. Emitted markup is unchanged.

The helper neutralizes quotes in the fragment URL: it lands inside a JS string inside an attribute built as HTMLAttr, where escaping is off. check-in: 058a2216c9 user: dmestas tags: url-sync-helper

Landings: a strata is one row, and a map on the record

The open queue folds a stack under its base: a strata mark, the segment count, the landable end named, and the rungs in a details element with 1/N badges — no script. Settled views stay flat; a settled segment has left its chain.

The record page draws the map: every rung bottom-up, this one marked, the landable one named, a rejected base as a broken rung. Above the bottom the accept control is disabled and says the segment below lands first.

Proved with a real zit: two stacked landings count one decision; the top rung's accept is refused; accepting the base retargets the next onto trunk and it becomes the landable end, still one decision. closed check-in: 02f6aadcad user: dmestas tags: strata-ui

00:03
RFC 0006: the strata is derived, and the queue counts decisions

AttachStrata reads the chain from target -> branch across landings: base, position, depth, and why a chain cannot be walked — a cycle, or a rejected base. Derived at read time, never stored, so a segment retargeted by zit#144 after its base lands simply stops being one.

landing.list carries the reading and counts DECISIONS: a stack of five is one, the base's, because nothing above it can be acted on. landing.get carries the chain for the record's map and reports a rung above the bottom as stacked, which the merge probe must not overwrite: its answer is true and useless there. check-in: 3e3ad17751 user: dmestas tags: strata-ui

markup: fossil wiki resolves mentions and refs, like markdown does

An artifact with no N card IS fossil wiki — fossil's default, and what anything writing through the zit CLI produces. fossilInline resolved this dialect's own [target] links, but @mentions, [[wiki]] refs and bare hash refs are dialect-independent and were reaching only markdown bodies, so 62 of quarry's own 90 forum posts lost every mention in them.

The two passes run after sanitizing, as they do in Render: resolveRefs mints the identity mark and the policy would strip it. It parses HTML and skips a/code/pre, so the anchors fossilInline just built and every

 block are left alone — both asserted.

Landings list: drop the h1; RFC 0006: how a strata is shown

The tab already says landings and the page's first line is the state chips; the heading said the same word a third time.

RFC 0006 gains the rendering proposal it deferred, written after this forge's first real strata listed as five independent open landings. Grounded in what GitHub (native stacks, July 2026), Gerrit (relation chain, submit whole topic) and Graphite do: a position on every member, a map on the record, one action at the landable end. quarry groups in the list because its list is a queue and a queue that shows five rows for one decision counts wrong. closed check-in: 3693d77992 user: dmestas tags: protect-6

23:24
RFC 0007 phase 5: the matrix, driven through the forge

Every row of the RFC's table, the way a person or a client would do it: the forge's accept through the API as owner and non-owner; a clone's accept pushed through the sync gate, refused whole with the branch named, then admitted for the owner with no reply posted; a stock fossil client's merge refused; branching off trunk and pushing to an unprotected branch admitted; a forged accepted reply recorded as a claim. A branch continued past its merge stays accepted.

Compatibility and disposability as the RFC states them: a clone's artifacts are identical with the row present or absent, and the record renders identically before and after the row, and across the section-11 wipe.

The disabled control with its reason is proved in the web package, where a viewer has an identity — and proving it found the landing page asking MayLand about nobody: the viewer now travels with the read. Three rows are proved elsewhere and named in the file so the matrix reads complete. closed check-in: 2a68c15ebf user: dmestas tags: protect-5

23:16
RFC 0007 phase 4: the settings surface, under a

Protected branches beside capabilities on the repository settings page: a branch or glob per row, owners as logins, every matching rule applies, blank the owners to remove one. The form rebuilds the stored set, so a renamed row is a delete and a write.

The cost is stated where the rule is set, because both things it changes surprise someone who knows fossil: on this forge i means less than it means in fossil, and a stock client can be refused a push its capability string says it may make. Policy of this forge, outside the repository; a clone is byte-identical to an unprotected one.

The section is not drawn on a forge with no policy store. closed check-in: 0d3bcdd784 user: dmestas tags: protect-4

23:13
RFC 0007 phase 3: the merge is the fact; accept asks MayJoin

The fold reads accepted from the DAG, for every landing: the earliest target check-in after opening whose non-primary parent is on the proposed branch. A reply asserting acceptance with nothing merged leaves the record open and is recorded as a claim; the page says so, the timeline files it as conversation. Rejection has no DAG fact and stays the reply's to say. Re-derived after every branch recompute — which now also invalidates the count memo, since it can settle a landing — so a merge pushed from a clone with no reply settles.

landing.accept refuses a non-owner on a protected target before writing, naming the owners. landing.get reports MayLand beside CanAccept so the page shows a disabled control with the reason.

Fourteen existing tests settled records by reply alone, or asserted a by-hand merge does not count; each now carries the merge it announces or asserts the RFC's reading. Giving the web fixture real check-ins exposed checkin.diff dereferencing a nil store; it now refuses, after the lookups so not-found still wins. closed check-in: 4832508615 user: dmestas tags: protect-3

22:59
RFC 0007 phase 2: the gate turns identity into a rule

The verified login — never the U card — becomes the per-request X-Zit-Protect the --fronted child enforces: the globs this pusher does not own, comma-separated as zit's glob lists are.

Sent on EVERY request, empty when nothing is refused. zit#151 reads an absent header as no rule, so absence is exactly what a forgotten code path would produce; here it cannot happen, and a test proves it against a fake child. The proxy builds a fresh request, so a client's header with that name never reaches the child. A rule source that cannot answer fails the push closed.

End to end with a real zit: a non-owner's push to trunk is refused with the branch named; the owner's identical push lands. closed check-in: daa9fc84b5 user: dmestas tags: protect-2

22:55
protect: the purge drops the rules, and the test asks the purge

The first test called DeleteRepo, which drops the repo row and leaves per-repository state to PurgeRepo — the cascade the rule was added to. Committed red because the run gating it used a regex that matched no test; caught by the suite. closed check-in: f30535d269 user: dmestas tags: protect-1

22:54
RFC 0007 phase 1: branch_protection and MayJoin

Forge policy beside repo_caps: a repository names protected branches (name or glob) and their owners. No trace in the repository; edited under 'a'; empty by default so an imported store behaves as it did.

MayJoin answers may-this-account-change-this-branch's-membership. Every matching rule applies, so a glob and a narrower name on one branch can only narrow. Refused lists the globs an account does not own — the per-request rule the sync gate will hand its child. A store that cannot answer says no: silence is not consent. check-in: 70d043b2e7 user: dmestas tags: protect-1
