+## React Source Writeback
+
+- Use compiler/debug provenance (project-relative file, line, column,
+  component, and runtime multiplicity) to locate React/TSX source. Treat it as
+  evidence, not as permission for a generic AST structural transform.
+- Reparenting, grouping/ungrouping, wrappers, dynamic expressions, repeated
+  `.map()` instances, shared components, and cross-file changes go through the
+  coding agent with exact subject/target anchors and their runtime
+  relationship.
+- Before each write, read the file and pass its exact `versionHash` to
+  `write-local-file` with `requireExpectedVersionHash: true`; on conflict,
+  re-read and re-plan. Keep the optimistic preview until HMR/runtime confirms
+  the result. Human write consent remains mandatory and agents cannot grant it.
+
 ## Verification
 
 - `list-localhost-connections` returns the expected connection and routes.

+Recover background chat turns whose continuation handoff dispatch failed instead of failing them immediately: the pre-inserted successor run is left claimable so the unclaimed-run sweep can redispatch it (and the client poll defers to that sweep within a bound), backed by a backstop that still fails loud if the handoff never lands.
+
+Operational note — terminal-reason change: when a continuation handoff exhausts its dispatch retry budget but the successor row exists, the run's `terminal_reason` is now `background_continuation_dispatch_deferred` (recoverable, awaiting sweep redispatch) instead of `background_continuation_dispatch_failed`. The old `background_continuation_dispatch_failed` reason is still emitted, but now only in the narrower case where the successor row itself could not be pre-inserted. Any dashboards, alerts, or audit queries matching `background_continuation_dispatch_failed` should add `background_continuation_dispatch_deferred` to keep covering this failure class.

+- Before each write, read the file and pass its exact `versionHash` to

+ * to the bridge's `/live-edit` URL (a real cross-origin request), so this
+ * component can't inspect the response body or status code the way a
+ * same-origin `fetch` could. Instead, callers probe `/health` — a route that
+ * never requires the preview token — and pass its `bridgeInstanceId` in as
+ * `responseBridgeInstanceId` alongside the assumed failure `code`.
+ *
+ * - Different id than what we last registered with ⇒ the bridge PROCESS
+ *   restarted (crash, machine sleep/wake, manual restart) since our last
+ *   successful registration. That's not a caller bug: silently re-POST the
+ *   same script/key and reload the frame with no user-facing error
+ *   ("reregister").
+ * - Same id (or no id / non-restart code at all) ⇒ the process that accepted
+ *   our registration is still running, so a genuine unknown-bridge-key 409
+ *   means something else is wrong (stale bridgeKey, real bug). Surface the
+ *   existing error/Retry UI instead of silently looping ("error").
+ *
+ * Deliberately NOT exported: every other pure helper in this file
+ * (getExternalPreviewUrl, snapshotEndpointUrl, buildEditorChromeBridgeScript,
+ * contentHash, isAllowedFusionOrigin, originFromUrl, ...) stays module-private
+ * so DesignCanvas.tsx keeps exporting only the DesignCanvas component itself
+ * — see DesignCanvas.refreshBoundary.test.ts, which guards the Fast Refresh
+ * boundary this file relies on given how often it's edited during live design
+ * sessions. Its decision logic is covered by behavioral tests in
+ * DesignCanvas.bridge-restart.test.tsx instead of a direct unit import.

+ * 2. The hidden-effect stash (used by the eye-toggle on shadows/layer-blur/
+ *    backdrop-blur) was keyed by `elementIdentityKey`, which folds in the
+ *    element's bounding rect and therefore changes on every resize/move.
+ *    Hiding an effect, then resizing/moving the element, then showing it
+ *    again silently lost the stashed original value and fell back to a
+ *    generic default instead. Fixed by keying the stash with
+ *    `elementStableKey` (element-identity.ts) instead — the same helper
+ *    `useAspectRatioLock` uses for the identical reason. This file
+ *    previously carried its own local copy of that helper
+ *    (`stableEffectElementKey`) with a `??`-vs-`||` bug matching the one
+ *    fixed in element-identity.ts (an empty-string `sourceId` — the bridge's
+ *    reported value for non-source-backed elements — short-circuited past
+ *    `id`/`selector` under `??`, collapsing every such element to the same
+ *    key); it now imports the shared, already-fixed helper instead of
+ *    duplicating it.

+ *    caller can commit it as one history step, and tested directly here.
+ * 2. `resolveRestoredStrokeStyle` — the Stroke section's top-level "+" button
+ *    restored a hidden-but-existing border with `borderStyle` hardcoded to
+ *    "solid", silently discarding a dashed/dotted style; the parallel outline
+ *    branch a few lines below it already preserved style correctly. Both

+//
+// Classic bug: converting RGB -> HSL -> RGB (or RGB -> HSV -> RGB) repeatedly,
+// as happens every time a user nudges a value in one mode then switches to
+// another, can "creep" indefinitely if intermediate state is cached instead
+// of always re-derived from a single RGB source of truth. DesignColorPicker
+// always recomputes HSL/HSV fresh from the current RGB `value` on every
+// render (see `hsl`/`hsv` in the component body), so this suite pins that
+// no-cache invariant at the pure-function level.
+//
+// Note: because HSL/HSV store saturation/lightness/value as rounded 0-100
+// integers (matching Figma's own integer HSB/HSL fields), a handful of
+// arbitrary RGB triples are inherently off by ±1 per channel after the very
+// first round trip — that's unavoidable quantization from displaying a
+// continuous color in an integer percent field, not a bug. The bug this
+// suite actually guards against is *unbounded* drift: once an RGB value has
+// gone through one round trip, every further round trip of that same value
+// must reproduce it exactly — a fixed point, not a random walk that keeps
+// creeping every time the user nudges a field or switches modes.

+/**
+ * Preview/commit gesture-lifecycle tests for ShaderFillsPanel (added
+ * alongside this fix): before this change, `ShaderControls`' `onChange`
+ * (fired on every continuous uniform-tuning tick — typing or dragging a
+ * slider) and a discrete preset/create-new pick both funneled through the
+ * same `commit()` path, which fired the expensive `apply-shader` codegen
+ * mutation on *every single tick* of a drag — a "commit storm" identical in
+ * spirit to the one GradientEditor's `onCommit` was added to fix (see
+ * GradientEditor.interaction.test.tsx).
+ *
+ * The fix splits `commit()` into `preview()` (cheap: local state + the
+ * caller's `onApply`, called on every tick) and `commitNow()` (expensive:
+ * the caller's `onCommit` + the `apply-shader` mutation, called exactly once
+ * per gesture/discrete pick). Gesture-end for a continuous ShaderControls
+ * drag is detected via pointerup/blur bubbling out of the tuning container,
+ * since ShaderControls doesn't surface its own ScrubInput gesture phase.

+/**
+ * DesignEditor.reparentPosition.test.ts
+ *
+ * Regression coverage for the nested-container reparent bug: DesignEditor's
+ * (private, unexported) `getAbsolutePositioningForNodeInHtml` used to read
+ * only a node's own inline `style.left`/`style.top` — correct for a direct
+ * child of the screen root, but wrong for anything nested inside another
+ * positioned/flow container, since that value is relative to the node's OWN
+ * immediate parent rather than the screen root. `computeReparentedChildPosition`
+ * (shared/board-file.ts) then did a flat `source - target` subtraction,
+ * which is only valid when both inputs share the same coordinate space.
+ * Combining a parent-relative read with that flat subtraction produced a
+ * garbage delta whenever the source or target container was nested two or
+ * more levels deep — the dropped element visibly jumped away from the
+ * cursor.
+ *
+ * The fix reuses `authoredElementPosition` (MultiScreenCanvas's
+ * primitive-drop-target.ts — now exported for exactly this reuse) inside
+ * `getAbsolutePositioningForNodeInHtml`, which walks every ancestor up to
+ * `<body>` accumulating positioned-ancestor offsets and static-flow
+ * padding/sibling contributions. That produces a true screen-root-relative
+ * position for both source and target regardless of nesting depth, so
+ * `computeReparentedChildPosition`'s flat subtraction becomes valid again.
+ *
+ * `getAbsolutePositioningForNodeInHtml` itself stays private to
+ * DesignEditor.tsx (matching every other module-level helper in that file),
+ * so this spec exercises the exact same public seam DesignEditor.tsx now
+ * calls through: `authoredElementPosition` feeding
+ * `computeReparentedChildPosition`, using jsdom-style parsed documents built
+ * the same way `getAbsolutePositioningForNodeInHtml` builds them (DOMParser
+ * + a `data-agent-native-node-id` lookup).

+Fix `.fig` and other binary files silently corrupting when uploaded through `index-design-system-with-builder`: `buildBuilderDesignSystemIndexFiles` always UTF-8-encoded file content even though `mimeTypeForBuilderDesignSystemFilename` already recognized `.fig` as binary (`application/octet-stream`). Add an optional per-file `encoding: "utf8" | "base64"` (defaults to `utf8`, unchanged for existing text-file callers) so binary files can be base64-encoded by the caller and decoded byte-exact here.

+Fix long agent-chat turns dying with a Netlify "508 Loop Detected" error after several server-driven continuation chunks: nested self-dispatch chains now break proactively before the platform's undocumented loop-protection limit, and a 508 that does occur is classified distinctly and deferred to the existing unclaimed-run sweep for recovery instead of failing the turn outright.

+
+Fix an awareness "storm" in `useCollaborativeDoc`: the shared collab connection's fast awareness-push path re-broadcast a client's own (unchanged) presence state whenever ANY remote participant's awareness changed, not just when the local user actually moved their cursor or updated their presence. With several people collaborating on the same document, every peer's cursor move caused every other connected client to also re-POST its own state, multiplying awareness traffic roughly quadratically with participant count. The fast-push listener now only fires on locally-originated awareness changes (`origin === "local"`), matching the equivalent guard already present in `usePresence`.
+
+Also add a defensive size cap to the collab `recentEdits` ring (`appendRecentEdit`): descriptor strings (`quote`, `selector`, path entries) and the edit `label` are now truncated to 500 characters. The ring was already bounded in length, but an app forgetting to trim its own excerpt before publishing (e.g. passing a whole paragraph or document as `quote`) could otherwise push an oversized payload through the awareness fast-path broadcast and into the `_collab_awareness` SQL mirror.

+ * Netlify's loop-protection ceiling is undocumented and platform-reported
+ * only approximately ("I believe... 9 or 10" — see
+ * `isLoopProtectionDispatchError`), so hard-coding that exact number here
+ * would be pinning behavior to a number Netlify itself won't commit to, and
+ * production evidence shows it can trigger by the 9th self-dispatch. Rather
+ * than only reacting after triggering that undocumented limit,
+ * `chainServerDrivenContinuation` proactively hands a chunk to the sweep once
+ * `backgroundContinuationCount` (nested hops since the last chain break)
+ * reaches this value — comfortably below the observed ~9-10 failure point —
+ * instead of attempting another nested dispatch. This is the SAME deferred-
+ * recovery path already used when a dispatch fails outright: the row is left
+ * `status='running', dispatch_mode='background'` for the sweep to redispatch,
+ * never silently dropped.
+ *
+ * The sweep's redispatch marker intentionally omits `continuationCount` (see
+ * the "Unclaimed background-run sweep" in `agent-chat-plugin.ts`), so a
+ * sweep-recovered chunk's own `backgroundContinuationCount` resets to 0 —
+ * this constant therefore bounds each NESTED segment between chain breaks,
+ * not the whole turn. The TRUE ceiling on total turn length is unaffected by
+ * that reset: it is the durable per-turn SQL ledger (`countRunsForTurn`,
+ * checked above in this function) plus `MAX_BACKGROUND_RUN_CONTINUATIONS` —
+ * both counted independently of this in-marker value — so a legitimately
+ * long turn keeps making progress in bounded nested segments, each recovered
+ * by the sweep, until it genuinely exhausts the intentional overall budget
+ * and fails loud with `turn_continuation_budget_exhausted`.

 Recording sharing uses the framework `sharing` system — not a custom share table. Recordings are registered via `registerShareableResource({ type: "recording", ... })` in `server/db/index.ts`. The `share-resource`, `unshare-resource`, `list-resource-shares`, and `set-resource-visibility` actions are auto-mounted and handle per-user grants, per-org grants, and the three visibility levels (`private` / `org` / `public`).
 
+Unlike the framework-wide private default, normal Clips recordings and uploaded
+videos default to **public** so their copied share links work immediately.
+Embedded bug-report recordings are the exception and default to organization
+visibility. Callers can still explicitly create a private or organization-only
+recording, and owners/admins can change visibility from the Share dialog.

+
+**When the user pastes a Figma frame/screen link and wants a real, editable
+Design screen** (not a rendered image, not a component insert), use

+
+```bash
+pnpm action import-figma-frame --figmaUrl "https://www.figma.com/design/<fileKey>/<name>?node-id=<id>"
+# or
+pnpm action import-figma-frame --fileKey "<fileKey>" --nodeId "12:34" --designId "<designId>"
+```
+
+- Accepts a full Figma URL (design/file/proto share links, including
+  `/branch/<key>/` branch URLs — the branch's own key is used automatically) or
+  an explicit `fileKey` + `nodeId`. If `nodeId` is omitted, the file's first
+  top-level frame is imported.
+- Maps the node tree to real HTML/CSS: exact position/size, auto-layout as
+  flexbox, text (font, line-height, letter-spacing, case, decoration, align),
+  fills (solid/gradient/image, correctly layered and gradient-angle-derived,
+  not a default angle), strokes (including the CENTER/INSIDE/OUTSIDE
+  distinction), per-corner radii, shadows/blur, opacity, and blend modes.
+  Vector networks, boolean operations, and other structurally unsupported node
+  types are rendered as an exact PNG at 2x scale instead of an approximated
+  shape guess.
+- Saves the result as a new screen via the same import path as other Design
+  imports (`saveImportedDesignFiles`), placed on the overview canvas.
+- Returns a `fidelityReport` — `exactCount`, `approximated` (properties CSS
+  can only approximate: rotation, per-side stroke weights, radial/angular/
+  diamond gradients, blur radius scale), and `imageFallbacks` (subtrees
+  rendered as PNG instead of structural HTML). Read this back to the user when
+  a design has non-trivial fallbacks so they know what to expect if they later
+  edit that subtree.
+- After import, treat the screen like any other: `view-screen`,
+  `get-design-snapshot`, `apply-visual-edit` / `edit-design` all work normally
+  on it.
+- For a file's published FILL/TEXT/EFFECT/GRID styles (name, description, node
+  id — not full token values), use `get-figma-styles` with `fileUrl`/`fileKey`.
+  This is the file's Styles panel, not the Enterprise Variables API; full
+  design-token extraction still routes through the Builder-backed
+  `index-design-system-with-builder` path above.
+
+#### Paste from Figma (Cmd+C/Cmd+V) vs. a copied frame link
+
+A plain clipboard paste (Cmd+C in Figma, Cmd+V on the Design canvas) is
+handled separately from `import-figma-frame`, because a clipboard paste and a
+copied frame **link** carry fundamentally different information:
+
+- **A copied frame link** (`?node-id=...`) names an exact node. Always exact —
+  use `import-figma-frame`.
+- **A plain clipboard paste** only carries Figma's `figmeta` marker, which is
+  `{fileKey, pasteID, dataType}` — **no node id at all**, and `pasteID` is an
+  ephemeral, server-side identifier that the public REST API can't resolve
+  back to a node. So a clipboard paste can only ever get an exact node import
+  on a **best-effort match**, never a guarantee.
+
+The canvas paste listener (`app/lib/figma-clipboard.ts` +
+`import-figma-clipboard`) handles this automatically:
+
+1. Decodes `figmeta` from the pasted HTML client-side
+   (`extractFigmeta`/`resolveFigmaPasteImportCall`) to decide whether to call
+   `import-figma-clipboard` (figmeta present) or the legacy
+   `import-design-source` HTML path (no figmeta — not a Figma paste, or an
+   older Figma client that doesn't emit the marker).
+2. `import-figma-clipboard` fetches the file's shallow structure (top-level
+   frames + their direct children, `server/lib/figma-node-import.ts`'s
+   `fetchFileStructure(fileKey, 3)`) and heuristically matches it against the
+   pasted content's visible text (`server/lib/figma-clipboard-match.ts`):
+   a frame is only imported when its **name** or at least **two distinct
+   text-layer contents** appear verbatim in the paste. Anything ambiguous or
+   unmatched imports **nothing structural** — it never guesses and never
+   imports the whole file uninvited.
+3. On a confident match, the matched node(s) are fetched and mapped through
+   the same `buildScreenFilesFromFigmaNodes` core `import-figma-frame` uses
+   (`strategy: "restNodes"` in the result, with a `fidelityReport`).
+4. Otherwise it falls back to the legacy visible-HTML paste
+   (`strategy: "htmlFallback"`), and reports why via `matchStatus`
+   (`"ambiguous"`, `"none"`, or `"error"`) and `figmaApiKeyMissing` (no
+   `FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN` configured). The canvas paste toast surfaces a hint in
+   both cases: connect the Figma access token, or paste a frame **link**
+   instead for a guaranteed-exact import.
+
+Tell users who want guaranteed pixel-exact imports to copy a frame **link**
+("Copy link to selection" in Figma), not just Cmd+C — a plain paste is
+convenient but only best-effort.

+## Export to Figma (SVG)
+
+`export-design-as-figma-svg` exports a design screen (or a selected
+element's subtree) as a genuinely VECTOR SVG document — real
+`<rect>`/`<path>`/`<text>`/`<image>` markup with
+`<linearGradient>`/`<radialGradient>`/`<filter>` defs. Figma's SVG importer
+parses this into normal, editable layers (rect/path/gradients/filters stay
+editable). This is a different artifact from `export-svg` above, whose
+`foreignObject` wrapper Figma cannot import as vectors at all.
+
+```bash
+pnpm action export-design-as-figma-svg --designId <designId>
+```
+
+Optional args:
+
+- `fileId` / `filename` — pick a specific screen (defaults to `index.html`).
+- `nodeId` — scope the export to one selected element's subtree via its
+  `data-agent-native-node-id`, instead of the whole screen.
+- `embedImages` (default `true`) — fetch and inline `http(s)` image sources
+  and background-images as `data:` URIs, so the SVG is self-contained for
+  clipboard paste. Set `false` to keep absolute URLs instead.
+
+Returns `{ svg, filename, report, filePath? }`. `report` classifies every
+element as `vectorized`, `approximated` (mapped with a documented caveat —
+e.g. a non-square gradient angle, a non-uniform border, a radial gradient's
+shape/position), `rasterized` (video/canvas/iframe content, and any element
+with `backdrop-filter`, which SVG cannot express — embedded as a cropped
+screenshot instead), or `omitted`. If no headless Chromium binary is
+available in the current environment (expected in hosted/serverless
+deploys), the action returns `{ ok: false, reason }` instead of throwing —
+fall back to `export-svg` or `export-html`.
+
+**Vectorized-text caveat**: Figma converts every imported SVG `<text>`
+element to outlined vector paths on paste/drag-import. The exported
+geometry is pixel-exact, but text pasted from this export is no longer
+live, editable type in Figma — it's outlines, the same way any other
+SVG-authoring tool's text becomes outlines on import. This is a Figma
+import limitation, not a defect in the export; the report's
+`vectorizedTextCaveat` field carries this note for the agent/user.
+
+**Getting it into Figma**: two supported paths —
+
+1. **Copy, then paste into Figma.** In the editor, right-click a selected
+   element or the canvas and choose **Copy as SVG** (Copy/Paste as ▸ Copy as
+   SVG). This writes the SVG markup to the system clipboard as `text/plain`
+   (the MIME Figma's own paste handler reads for "paste as vector shapes")
+   plus `image/svg+xml` as a secondary representation. Paste directly into a
+   Figma canvas.
+2. **Download, then drag-import.** Figma's file browser also accepts a
+   plain `.svg` file dropped/imported directly — save the `svg` string
+   returned by the action to a `.svg` file and drag it into a Figma page the
+   same way you'd import any other SVG asset.

+ * detach-component-instance — Figma's "Detach instance" (⌥⌘B).
+ *
+ * There is no separate component "definition"/template markup anywhere in
+ * this codebase (see `shared/component-model.ts`): a component instance is
+ * just an ordinary element carrying a `data-agent-native-component="Name"`
+ * annotation (plus optional `data-agent-native-prop-*` overrides), and every
+ * instance of the same name is an independently-duplicated copy of HTML —
+ * `component_index` only stores metadata (props/variants/runtime selectors),
+ * never markup. Detaching an instance therefore doesn't need to "inline a
+ * template" the way a real component-instantiation system would: the node's
+ * current rendered markup already IS the fully expanded content. Detach
+ * severs the *component-instance linkage* by stripping the annotation
+ * attributes, so `is-component-instance` checks (`isComponentInstance`,
+ * `index-components`, `get-component-details`) stop recognizing this node —
+ * exactly Figma's "instance becomes a plain layer" semantics — while leaving
+ * position, size, layout, classes, text, and Alpine (`x-data`) behavior
+ * completely untouched.
+ *
+ * Persists through the same deterministic HTML-patch + collab seam as
+ * `apply-component-prop-edit` / `apply-visual-edit` (`writeInlineSourceFile`
+ * with an `expectedVersionHash` CAS guard), so it participates in the
+ * editor's undo/collab machinery exactly like every other HTML-mutating
+ * action — there is no separate undo/history log in this codebase to hook
+ * into (see those actions' docs).
+ *
+ * Inline/Alpine designs only; real-app sources fail closed (same posture as

+/**
+ * go-to-main-component — Figma's "Go to main component".
+ *
+ * DESIGN NOTE — mapping onto this codebase's data model: there is no
+ * persisted "main component" concept anywhere here. A component is just a
+ * name (`data-agent-native-component="Name"`) that happens to be stamped on
+ * more than one element; every instance is an independently-duplicated copy
+ * of HTML (see `shared/component-model.ts`, `component_index` schema — it
+ * stores props/variants/runtime-selectors metadata, never a canonical
+ * definition). A true "main component" would require a data-model addition
+ * (e.g. an `isMain`/definition pointer on `component_index`) — out of scope
+ * here; flagged for a follow-up if promoting a specific instance as
+ * authoritative becomes a real need.
+ *
+ * Closest tractable equivalent: treat the EARLIEST instance of the same
+ * component name — scanning every design file in `createdAt` order, document
+ * order within each file — as the "main" analogue, mirroring the common case
+ * where a component's original occurrence predates its copies. If the given
+ * instance already IS that earliest one, this returns `isMain: true` instead
+ * of navigating (nothing to jump to). Otherwise it writes a `navigate`
+ * app-state command (same mechanism as `navigate` / `open-component-source`)
+ * so the editor selects the target instance, including switching design
+ * files when the main instance lives on a different screen.
+ *
+ * Navigation-only + inline/Alpine designs only (real-app sources return a
+ * CTA). Because this writes the transient `navigate` application-state
+ * command, it is exposed as the default POST mutation rather than a GET.

+ * changes afterward (present-design-variants.ts never mutates an existing
+ * set's `screenCount`, and delete-file.ts's `pruneDesignVariantSets` only
+ * ever shortens/removes a set's `screens` array, never touches `screenCount`).
+ * The moment any member is deleted, `screens.length` drops below the
+ * recorded `screenCount` (or the whole entry is removed once <=1 screens
+ * remain) — either way, `screens.length === screenCount` no longer holds. So
+ * this equality proves no delete-file call has EVER resolved against this
+ * set.
+ *
+ * IMPORTANT: this does NOT prove the user never picked a screen from the set.
+ * A pick only exists as a chat instruction (see `VARIANT_PICK_SUBMIT_MESSAGE`)
+ * until the agent's follow-up turn actually calls delete-file for the losers;
+ * there is no synchronous server-side seam that records a pick before that
+ * turn runs (an agent retry after a run cutoff, or a second
+ * present-design-variants call, can both land before the delete-file calls
+ * do). So `isUntouchedVariantSet` is used only to decide whether a set is

+ * files. See `markSupersededVariantSets` / `deleteVariantSetsByIds` below.

+/**
+ * swap-component-instance — Figma's "Swap instance".
+ *
+ * DESIGN NOTE — mapping onto this codebase's data model: there is no
+ * separate component "definition"/template anywhere here (see
+ * `shared/component-model.ts`) — every instance is an independently
+ * duplicated copy of HTML matched purely by its
+ * `data-agent-native-component="Name"` annotation. "Swap to component B"
+ * therefore means: find an existing instance of B somewhere in the design
+ * (any screen), copy ITS current markup in as a replacement for the selected
+ * instance of A, and carry over whichever `data-agent-native-prop-*`
+ * overrides the selected instance had that B's own instances also declare
+ * (Figma's "preserve same-named overrides").
+ *
+ * Scope decisions, deliberately conservative:
+ * - Requires at least one existing instance of the target component
+ *   somewhere in the design (any file) to copy markup from. There is no
+ *   component library/definition to fall back to — this is a hard
+ *   requirement, not a data-model gap to route around.
+ * - Only `data-agent-native-prop-*` attribute overrides are carried over.
+ *   The `x-data` Alpine expression is intentionally NOT merged: Alpine state
+ *   can hold arbitrary JS (methods, nested objects, expressions) and this
+ *   codebase already treats blind x-data rewrites as unsafe (see
+ *   `component-section.tsx`'s `canRebuildAlpineDataLosslessly` bail-out) — the
+ *   swapped-in instance keeps ITS OWN component's default `x-data` as-is.
+ *   Prop names present on the old instance but not declared by the new
+ *   component are dropped (`droppedProps`); prop names the new component
+ *   declares that the old instance didn't override keep the new component's
+ *   default (`defaultedProps`). Both are reported so the caller/UI can tell
+ *   the user what changed.
+ * - The selected instance's own `data-agent-native-node-id` is preserved on
+ *   the swapped-in markup (rather than keeping whatever id the copied
+ *   instance had) so selection, undo, and any other node-id-keyed state keep
+ *   addressing the same slot on the canvas.
+ *
+ * Persists through the same deterministic HTML-patch + collab seam as
+ * `apply-component-prop-edit` (`writeInlineSourceFile` + `expectedVersionHash`
+ * CAS guard) — same undo/collab posture as every other HTML-mutating action.
+ *
+ * Inline/Alpine designs only; real-app sources fail closed.

+/**
+ * DesignExtensionsPanel bug-hunt regression tests.
+ *
+ * Bug: `installExtension`'s `finally` block cleared `installingId` (which
+ * re-enables the Install button and re-shows the extension in "Available")
+ * immediately after the install POST resolved, without waiting for the
+ * `invalidateQueries` calls that refresh the "installed"/"available" slot
+ * lists to actually settle. That left a window where a fast double-click (or
+ * any click during that gap) fired a second install POST for the same
+ * extension before the UI caught up — a duplicate-install race. The fix
+ * extracts the network + invalidation sequence into `installExtensionRequest`
+ * and awaits both `invalidateQueries` calls before resolving, so callers
+ * can't regain control (and re-enable the button) until the lists are
+ * provably current.
+ *
+ * This file also locks in the postMessage origin/source hygiene requirement
+ * called out for this panel: DesignExtensionsPanel.tsx must not add a raw
+ * `window.addEventListener("message", ...)` listener of its own. All
+ * cross-iframe messaging here goes through the shared `EmbeddedApp` (asset
+ * picker) and `EmbeddedExtension` (installed extensions) components, which
+ * already validate both `event.origin` and `event.source` against the
+ * specific iframe — see packages/core/src/embedding/react.tsx (line ~110,
+ * ~240) and packages/core/src/client/extensions/EmbeddedExtension.tsx (line
+ * ~255), matching the `isMessageFromOwnPreviewIframe` pattern used elsewhere
+ * in this app (e.g. edit-panel/component-section.tsx).

+ * server-side via headless Chromium — see that action's docblock) at the
+ * exact on-screen rect the user drew on, composite the serialized
+ * strokes/text on top client-side, then hand the finished PNG to the shared
+ * `upload-image` core action so only a durable URL — never base64 — reaches
+ * the agent chat message or any persisted state.
+ *

+ * Chromium binary in hosted/serverless deploys, a slow render, a network
+ * blip fetching the screenshot, or an unconfigured upload provider should

+ * Factored out (rather than inlined ternaries in the JSX below) as a

+ * layer as having no size/repeat/position of its own — switching this base
+ * swatch to Image then rebuilt backgroundSize/backgroundRepeat/
+ * backgroundPosition as a single-entry list against the real N+1-layer
+ * backgroundImage stack, corrupting every existing layer's size/repeat/
+ * position via CSS background-layer-list cycling (e.g. an existing "cover"
+ * silently became "auto"). All four must always be sourced together, exactly

+/**
+ * Escape-key ordering regression (adversarial-review item 2): does an
+ * Escape keypress inside DesignColorPicker's open popover (wired at
+ * `onEscapeKeyDown={revertToOpenSnapshot}`, ~DesignColorPicker.tsx:1368)
+ * also reach `useDesignHotkeys`' `onEscape` (handleEscapeHotkey in
+ * DesignEditor.tsx), which pops/clears the canvas selection? If so, one
+ * Escape press would both revert+close the picker AND pop canvas
+ * selection — two distinct effects from a single keypress.
+ *
+ * This does NOT render the full DesignColorPicker/DesignEditor tree (out of
+ * scope and too heavy); instead it wires the two REAL, unmocked mechanisms
+ * that decide the outcome — Radix's `@radix-ui/react-dismissable-layer`
+ * (via the shared `PopoverContent` wrapper, same `onEscapeKeyDown` prop
+ * DesignColorPicker uses) and the real `useDesignHotkeys` hook (same
+ * `onEscape` prop DesignEditor.tsx wires to `handleEscapeHotkey`) — and
+ * dispatches a real, bubbling, cancelable "Escape" keydown at a plain
+ * (non-editable) inner element, matching the SV field / ColorTrack slider /
+ * gradient stop buttons named in the review: none of them are
+ * input/textarea/select/contenteditable/role=textbox, so
+ * `isDesignHotkeyEditableTarget` would NOT skip them on its own.
+ *
+ * Finding: the double-fire cannot happen, and no code change was made here.
+ * Radix's `DismissableLayer` (see
+ * @radix-ui/react-dismissable-layer/dist/index.mjs) adds its Escape listener
+ * on `ownerDocument` with `{ capture: true }`, and always calls
+ * `event.preventDefault()` after `onEscapeKeyDown` fires whenever the layer
+ * has an `onDismiss` (Popover always wires one — `onDismiss: () =>
+ * context.onOpenChange(false)` — regardless of what `onEscapeKeyDown` does).
+ * `useDesignHotkeys` (DesignEditor.tsx's call has no `target`/`capture`
+ * override) listens on `window` with the default bubble phase. Native keydown
+ * dispatch order is: capture phase window -> document -> ... -> target, then
+ * bubble phase target -> ... -> document -> window. Radix's document-capture
+ * listener therefore always runs and calls `preventDefault()` *before* the
+ * event ever reaches the target or bubbles back up to `window`, so by the
+ * time `useDesignHotkeys`' handler runs, `event.defaultPrevented` is already
+ * `true` and its very first guard (`if (event.defaultPrevented ...) return;`)
+ * bails out before `onEscape` is invoked. The ordering is a structural
+ * guarantee of the DOM event model (document is always an ancestor of
+ * window's bubble-phase delivery point in this browser event model — more
+ * precisely: capture always fully completes down to target before any
+ * bubble listener runs), not an accident of registration order, so this test
+ * pins the guarantee rather than proposing a fix.

+ * `hasFigmaClipboardPayload` in `design-import.ts` already scans for to detect

+ * `extractFigmeta` tries both, defensively, and never throws — any malformed
+ * input just means "not a decodable Figma paste".
+ *
+ * Important caveat carried through to the server: `figmeta` has no node ids
+ * (only a `fileKey`), and `pasteID` is an ephemeral, server-side identifier
+ * that isn't resolvable to a node through the public REST API. So a plain
+ * clipboard paste can only ever get an exact node import on a best-effort,
+ * heuristic match (see `server/lib/figma-clipboard-match.ts`) — a copied

+/**
+ * DesignEditor.resizeUndoFallback.spec.ts
+ *
+ * BUG-UNDO-RESIZE-STACK regression — Cmd+Z stopped undoing a canvas
+ * resize-drag at all.
+ *
+ * Every content-mutating commit path in DesignEditor.tsx that goes through
+ * the Yjs UndoManager (`applyLocalContentUpdate`, `applyFileContentUpdate`)
+ * ALSO mirrors its before/after pair into `localContentUndoStackRef` via
+ * `recordLocalContentHistoryChangeFallback` (which wraps
+ * `mergeLocalContentHistoryFallback`). This mirror exists specifically
+ * because the Yjs UndoManager (and its whole undo stack) is destroyed and
+ * recreated whenever `docId` changes — a view-mode switch, a zoom-triggered
+ * re-render, or a breakpoint switch — and handleUndo falls back to this local
+ * stack once `undoManagerRef.current?.canUndo()` is false.
+ *
+ * `commitVisualStyles` — the ONE commit path a gesture-driven resize/style
+ * drag goes through — wrote directly to the Y.Doc but never called this
+ * mirror. So the moment the UndoManager was torn down for any of the above
+ * reasons between the resize-drag and the user's Cmd+Z, there was NOTHING
+ * left to undo: not in Yjs (destroyed), not in the local fallback stack
+ * (never populated for this commit path). Cmd+Z silently did nothing, no
+ * matter how many times it was pressed.
+ *
+ * These tests pin the pure mechanism `commitVisualStyles` now drives the same
+ * way every other commit path already did: "before" (old, buggy) simulates a
+ * resize commit that never mirrors to the local stack; "after" (fixed)
+ * simulates the same commit calling `recordLocalContentHistoryChangeFallback`,
+ * matching the new `else if (yjsHistoryAvailable ...)` branch added to
+ * `commitVisualStyles`.

+/**
+ * design-to-figma-svg.ts — serialize the design element model (absolutely
+ * positioned boxes + flex auto-layout containers, text, images, solid/
+ * gradient/image fills, borders, border-radius, shadows/blurs, opacity,
+ * rotation) into a standalone, GENUINELY VECTOR SVG document that Figma
+ * imports as editable shapes — not the `foreignObject` wrapper produced by
+ * `buildSvgForeignObject` in `design-export.ts` (that one round-trips the
+ * live DOM/CSS for the editor's own "Download SVG" command, but Figma cannot
+ * import `foreignObject` content as vectors — it stays an opaque embedded
+ * HTML blob). This module builds real `<rect>`/`<path>`/`<text>`/`<image>`
+ * markup with `<linearGradient>`/`<radialGradient>`/`<filter>` defs, which
+ * Figma's SVG importer parses into normal editable layers.
+ *
+ * Two layers:
+ *
+ *  1. A pure, browser-free SCENE -> SVG serializer (`buildFigmaSvgDocument`
+ *     and its helpers below). It consumes a `FigmaSvgNode` tree — plain
+ *     data, no DOM — and emits SVG markup plus an export report. This is
+ *     the part covered by `design-to-figma-svg.spec.ts` with hand-built
+ *     fixture nodes (gradient stops, rounded-rect path commands, stroke
+ *     inset geometry, tspan positions).
+ *
+ *  2. A Playwright-based SCENE EXTRACTOR (`renderDesignToFigmaSvg`, backed by
+ *     the in-page `collectRawFigmaSvgScene` walk) that renders the design's
+ *     real stored HTML in headless Chromium (mirrors
+ *     `take-design-screenshot.ts`'s launch/import pattern) and walks the
+ *     live, laid-out DOM to build a `FigmaSvgNode` tree from real
+ *     `getBoundingClientRect()` / `getComputedStyle()` values. Delegating
+ *     geometry to the actual browser layout engine is what makes the boxes
+ *     PIXEL-PERFECT without reimplementing flexbox/auto-layout math by hand
+ *     — the same reason `take-design-screenshot.ts` renders instead of
+ *     statically analyzing HTML. This half is exercised in practice via the
+ *     `export-design-as-figma-svg` action, not vitest (same split as
+ *     `collectPageDiagnostics` in `take-design-screenshot.ts` — see that
+ *     file's spec docblock for the rationale).

+ * an exact node the way a copied frame LINK can (`?node-id=...`). Instead we

+ * and heuristically match it against the *visible* clipboard HTML fallback
+ * (frame/layer names and text layer contents tend to reappear as literal text
+ * in that fallback markup).
+ *
+ * This is deliberately conservative: pure name/text equality only, no fuzzy
+ * matching, and it only ever returns a `matched` result when the evidence is
+ * unambiguous. Anything else — `none` or `ambiguous` — must fall back to the
+ * legacy HTML-paste path (see `import-figma-clipboard.ts`) rather than guess
+ * at a node import, since importing the wrong node is worse than importing a

+/**
+ * Figma node JSON -> HTML mapper.
+ *
+ * Input is the `document` subtree returned by
+ * `GET /v1/files/:fileKey/nodes?ids=...&geometry=paths` (or the file's root
+ * `document` node). Output is a self-contained HTML fragment using absolute
+ * positioning + inline styles, matching Figma's own canvas model 1:1 rather
+ * than reconstructing a semantic/Tailwind layout — the goal is pixel fidelity
+ * for an imported snapshot, not idiomatic hand-authored markup.
+ *
+ * This module is pure and synchronous: it never calls the network. The
+ * caller (an action) is responsible for:
+ *   1. Fetching the node JSON from the Figma REST API.
+ *   2. Calling `collectFallbackNodeIds` / `collectImageFillRefs` to find out
+ *      which nodes need a rendered PNG fallback and which image fills need
+ *      resolved URLs.
+ *   3. Fetching those via `/v1/images/:fileKey` (fallback renders) and
+ *      `/v1/files/:fileKey/images` (fill ref -> URL map).
+ *   4. Calling `mapFigmaNodeToHtml` with the resulting maps.
+ *
+ * ## Pixel-perfect property coverage

+ * | Gradient fills (angle/position)              | exact (linear)/approximated (radial/angular/diamond) | derived from gradientHandlePositions, not a default angle |
+ * | Multiple fills (layering)                    | exact         | reversed to match CSS background-image stacking |
+ * | Image fills (scale modes)                    | exact (FILL/FIT/TILE/STRETCH-axis-aligned) / approximated (skewed imageTransform) | |
+ * | Strokes (uniform, align)                     | exact         | CENTER via outline+negative offset, INSIDE via inset box-shadow, OUTSIDE via outline |
+ * | Strokes (per-side weights)                   | approximated  | CSS has no per-side outline; falls back to per-side `border` (inside-only) |
+ * | Corner radii (uniform + per-corner)          | exact         | |
+ * | Effects: drop/inner shadow                   | exact         | |
+ * | Effects: layer/background blur               | approximated  | Figma <-> CSS blur radius scale is not publicly specified as 1:1 |
+ * | Opacity                                      | exact         | |
+ * | Blend modes (CSS-supported)                   | exact         | |
+ * | Blend modes (Figma-only: LINEAR_BURN/DODGE/LIGHTER/DARKER) | approximated | mapped to closest CSS equivalent |
+ * | clipsContent                                  | exact        | overflow: hidden |
+ * | Rotation                                      | approximated | pivots about the bounding-box center (see below) |
+ * | Vector networks / boolean ops / unsupported types | image fallback | never approximated structurally |
+ *
+ * ### Rotation caveat
+ * The REST API's `rotation` field is in degrees (-180..180), and
+ * `absoluteBoundingBox` is the *already-rotated* axis-aligned bounding box —
+ * Figma does not expose the pre-rotation box directly. We reconstruct the
+ * unrotated box by treating the AABB's center as invariant under rotation
+ * (true for a shape rotated about its own center) and rotate the CSS element
+ * about `transform-origin: center` by `-rotation` degrees (Figma's rotation
+ * is clockwise-negative relative to CSS's clockwise-positive convention).
+ * This is exact when Figma pivots rotation about the shape's center and only
+ * approximated if Figma's internal pivot differs (rare in practice; visually
+ * indistinguishable in the overwhelming majority of designs). A fully exact
+ * alternative would consume `relativeTransform` as a CSS `matrix()` directly,
+ * which is a documented follow-up if a specific design surfaces a visible
+ * mismatch.

- * rotated world edges. It still snaps to the closest sibling edge/center in

+ * machinery a non-rotated resize uses — with the resize handle mapped into
+ * its world orientation by the frame's nearest 90° quadrant (at ~90° the
+ * local east edge faces due south in world space, so "e" snaps the AABB's
+ * bottom edge; at ~180° it faces west; etc.). Any snap offset is then fed
+ * back into the rotated resize as extra world pointer travel, so anchoring
+ * stays exact. This is edge-exact at 0/90/180/270 (the AABB edges ARE the
+ * frame's edges there) and approximate in between (pointer travel maps to
+ * AABB-edge movement with a cos² factor); once the rotation is more than
+ * ROTATED_RESIZE_SNAP_MAX_OFF_AXIS_DEGREES from every axis-aligned
+ * orientation, snapping is skipped entirely (no guides) rather than snapping

+ * Shared Figma URL / node-id parsing helpers.
+ *
+ * Figma file URLs come in a few shapes:

+ *   https://www.figma.com/file/<fileKey>/<name>            (legacy)

+ *   https://www.figma.com/design/<fileKey>/<name>/branch/<branchKey>/<name>
+ *
+ * The branch shape is the important gotcha: a branch is a *separate* file for
+ * REST API purposes. `/v1/files/:fileKey` etc. must be called with the
+ * **branch key**, not the parent file key that appears earlier in the path —
+ * calling with the parent key silently returns the parent file's content,
+ * not the branch the user is actually looking at. See
+ * https://developers.figma.com/docs/rest-api/ (branches share the same file
+ * shape as regular files once you have the branch's own key).
+ *
+ * `node-id` is carried as a query param and Figma writes it with dashes
+ * (`1-2`) even though the REST API's node ids use colons (`1:2`). Grouped /
+ * instance-swap node ids can look like `1:2;3:4` — only the plain
+ * `<number>-<number>` shape needs dash-to-colon conversion; anything already
+ * containing a colon is passed through untouched.

+Fix a recurring `DataCloneError` console error when any embedded extension (Design's Tools/Extensions panel, or any other app using `EmbeddedExtension`) loads or its slot context updates. Slot contexts commonly carry live callback functions the host uses internally; `postMessage`'s structured clone algorithm throws on function-valued properties, so the context update silently never reached the extension iframe. Sanitize the context through a JSON round-trip (dropping functions) before posting it.
