    class ErrorBoundary {
        getDerivedStateFromError
        renders a page with a way back
    }
    note for ErrorBoundary "ErrorBoundary.tsx — the app's floor, mounted in main.tsx ABOVE QueryClientProvider so it covers every route. React unmounts the whole tree when a render throws and nothing catches it, and the address bar keeps the URL, so a reload reproduces the blank page: a permanent client-side DoS that another member's CONTENT can reach (a link in a teammate's markdown reaching decodePath, a folder named `constructor` reaching ProjectIcon). Deliberately the smallest thing that works — no reporting, no retry machine, no per-route boundaries"

    class shareMermaid {
        <<second Vite entry>>
        src/share-mermaid.ts → static/share-mermaid.js
        picks DARK/LIGHT from prefers-color-scheme
    }
    note for shareMermaid "The only script the server-rendered /s/ share page ever loads, and only when shares.go finds a mermaid fence in the document. Built as a SECOND rollup input with a fixed, unhashed name at the static root — sharedMarkdownShell is a Go const and cannot know a content hash, and server.go marks assets/ immutable for a year, so an unhashed file there would pin a stale bundle in shared caches. Mermaid's own chunks keep their hashed assets/ names, which is why the share page needs the ACAO header: its sandbox origin is opaque"

    class App {
        mode from /api/config
    }
    note for App "App.tsx — picks HubApp (multi-project) or VolumeApp (single volume) from server config; frontend learns everything from the API, never sees storage or credentials"

    class HubApp {
        project list, org walls
        admin panels, invites
        remembers last opened project (localStorage)
    }
    class VolumeApp {
        thin wrapper: one volume
    }
    class Browser {
        folder listing, file view
        per-view routes
        +moved: /resolve?path= on a tree miss only
    }
    note for Browser "A missing path is decided from /tree alone — the file is never fetched — so the X-Bdrive-Canonical-Path header /file answers with would never reach the browser, and a moved FOLDER has no content fetch to hang a header on. The not-found branch asks GET /resolve?path= instead, then replaceState-navigates to the destination and prints one Moved from … line above it (BEA-81)"

    class router {
        +VIEW_ROUTES dashboard history install settings
        +LEGACY_VIEWS insights to dashboard
        +top-level routes orgs billing
        +parseRoute(url, mode) Route
        +Route.version ?v= sha, one past version
        +Route.trailingSlash notes/ resolves, then replaces to notes
        +Route.queryTarget history ?path= / ?prefix= resolves, then replaces to /history/target
        +Route.filters q user since until, history feed
        +historyFilterQuery(filters) / hasHistoryFilters
        +urlForPath(path, projectId, version)
        +urlForView(view, projectId, target, filters) / encodePath / decodePath
    }
    class nav {
        +navigate(url)
        +useLocationPath() pathname + search
        +linkProps(href)
        +Redirect
    }
    note for router "Two lookups on peer-authored path segments are now prototype-safe and one is throw-safe: legacyView() goes through Object.hasOwn, because LEGACY_VIEWS['constructor'] is truthy and turned a folder of that name into a view whose name was a FUNCTION; decodePath falls back to the raw segment instead of letting decodeURIComponent throw URIError out of a useMemo during render. Same shape as ProjectIcon's PROJECT_ICONS lookup in shell.tsx"
    note for nav "nav.ts + router.ts — deliberately NOT a router library (react-router v7 startTransition left stale views); History-API path routing, slashes literal, every user-facing page owns a URL path. A version is not a view route (the first segment after the project id is reserved for view names) — it rides as ?v=, so useLocationPath must snapshot the search too or the URL changes and nothing re-renders"

    class api {
        +getJSON / postJSON / api
        +getResponse (raw bytes)
        +PRODUCT_EVENTS method+path → event
        types.ts server contracts
    }
    note for api "api/http.ts — all URLs root-absolute so deep paths never break relative resolution. Every mutating call goes through api()/postJSON(), so one table there is the whole product-event surface: a new write is measured or it isn't, instead of depending on someone remembering a capture() call"

    class analytics {
        +initAnalytics(config)
        +track(event, props)
    }
    note for analytics "analytics.ts — posthog-js is fetched from the CDN at runtime, never installed: with no `analytics` in /api/config this module makes no request and the OSS bundle carries no tracker. capture_pageview history_change because the router is History-API. Replay masks every text node (maskTextSelector *) — in this product nearly all of it is customer file names and document bodies"

    class hooks {
        +useConfig
        +useHub
        +useBrowse
        +useTextAt (any URL) → useBlobText (sha-keyed, immutable)
    }
    note for hooks "TanStack Query wrappers over the viewer APIs. useTextAt fetches any URL and sniffs it — the Content-Length cheap-out lives here (HTTP), the byte decision in lib/sniff.ts (pure). A live path must not be cached immutable; a sha can be"

    class components {
        FileView FolderListing FileTree
        HistoryView HistoryRow HistoryFilters DiffView VersionBanner
        Insights ShareDialog NewProjectDialog
        ShareBanner SharesTable AdminTable
        OrgAdmin HubSettings ProjectSettings
        Palette shell AccountBar ...
    }
    note for components "NewProjectDialog replaced ProjectNav's name-only modalPrompt: name + starting point, POSTing {name, template}. Its options come from useConfig()'s `templates`, never a hardcoded list, so a hub shipping another template needs no frontend change; the initial selection is options[0].value — the same array element the RECOMMENDED badge indexes, so the badged row and the checked row are one row by construction (on a template-less hub that row is 'I already have a folder', which still creates an empty project). modal.tsx keeps its one-field API — teaching it about choices would tax every other caller"
    note for components "HistoryFilters drives the SERVER (?q=/?user=/?since=/?until= on the history API), never the loaded page — filtering what is on screen would lie about everything below the fold and break next_cursor. Its state is Route.filters, so a narrowed feed is linkable, survives reload, and Back undoes it; the author list accumulates across fetches, because filtering by one author leaves only their rows loaded"
    note for components "FileView's transformHTML now drops `data:image/svg` from any rendered img and any `data:` href from any rendered link — goldmark admits them, and an inline SVG is a document rather than a picture (the same property the server's sandboxInline walls off). Insights builds its per-device folder bag with Object.create(null), since folder names come off a peer's journal and one named __proto__ silently emptied the matrix. style.css sets unicode-bidi isolate-override on the peer-authored strings a reader is expected to CHECK (listing rows, breadcrumb, history path/note/device) — journal.SafeText refuses the bidi CONTROLS, but a single strong-RTL LETTER is legal and still reorders a row"
    note for components "components/ui — shadcn/ui primitives (Radix, copied in), themed from BearDrive tokens in tw.css; rendered markdown is transformed as a string before mounting, link clicks delegated on the container — never patch the dangerouslySetInnerHTML subtree"

    class lib {

        +runs.ts groupRuns runFileCount

        +csv.ts parseDelimited Csv CSV_ROWS
        +mermaid.ts hasMermaid renderMermaid Palette DARK LIGHT
        +utils.ts
    }
    note for lib "mermaid.ts is the one exception to 'pure, no React, unit-tested on node': it needs a DOM and a browser-only library, so its coverage is Playwright. html in → html out, so neither caller can be tempted to patch a live subtree. It imports mermaid only when hasMermaid() says a document has a fence — that gate is what keeps a diagram-free page from downloading any of it — and every failure (unparseable fence, render throw, chunk that never loads) returns the untouched &lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt; instead of throwing"
    note for lib "pure, no React, unit-tested on node (npm test) — the line diff is ~40 lines, cheaper than auditing a diff package. heat.ts is the one read-count arithmetic: every surface (file header, folder listing, Dashboard bar) totals and splits through it, so they cannot disagree; useBrowse re-exports it"
    note for lib "csv.ts parses .csv/.tsv for FileView's table view — ~50 lines against RFC 4180, so no papaparse. It NEVER throws: null means 'not a table' (unterminated quote, no delimiter) and the caller falls back to the plain-text preview, which is why the fallback is a type-level guarantee rather than a try/catch someone can forget"
