Navigate backlinks to their exact referring block (closes #83) - #257
Merged
Conversation
…issue #83) Issue #83 asks for backlink navigation to a document's exact referring block, with reveal-after-navigation, an accessible highlight, safe degradation for a stale source block, and test coverage for all of it. The general page_link/wiki-link Backlinks panel the issue describes was removed from +page.svelte as part of #120's per-Document sharding work (listIncomingLinks can't cheaply scan across shards) and is blocked on #81/#70, both explicitly pulled out of this milestone — see the clarifying comment posted on the issue before this commit. That exact mechanism already exists and is live today on a structurally identical surface built on the same Backlink/listIncomingLinks primitive: SyncedBlockUsage.svelte's "Used in N places" panel (#block-<id> hrefs, same-document in-place jump vs. cross-document real navigation, scroll+focus+temporary outline highlight via navigateToBlock, safe no-op for a missing block id). This adds the missing coverage issue #83's own checklist calls for, on that surface: - SyncedBlockUsage.svelte had no test file at all — added one covering the #block-<id> href, the same-document/cross-document jump branch (verifying real navigation is left alone across documents, which is what keeps browser Back and keyboard activation working), the empty state, Escape/roving-focus keyboard mechanics, and Detach. - page.svelte.test.ts's existing deep-link suite covered focus but not the highlight styling itself or a stale/deleted block id — added both: the outline/outline-2/outline-accent classes apply and clear (not color alone, and temporary), and a #block-<id> naming a deleted block opens the Document without calling scrollIntoView or applying any highlight. Verified: npm run test (1250, was 1240), npm run test:coverage, npm run check, npm run lint — all pass. Contributes to #83 (not closing it — the panel-reintroduction part of that issue's original scope is still blocked on #81/#70, per the posted clarifying comment).

Re-adds the Backlinks panel #120 removed, powered by a genuinely cross-shard-aware service function instead of the old client-side incremental index that could no longer span per-Document shards: - services/documents.ts#listBacklinks: fans out across every Document's own shard the same way search_workspace already does (#191's shared workspace-repository fan-out), scanning each with the existing stateless $lib/data/links.ts#listOutgoingLinks rather than any single Y.Doc's incremental reverse index. Permission-filtered like listDocuments; audited like get_document/search_workspace. Registered in the service-layer manifest (UI-only, mcp: false — #83's own scope doesn't ask for an MCP surface). - BacklinksPanel.svelte: renders each backlink as a real #block-<id> link to the exact referring block, not just the referring Document. Reuses SyncedBlockUsage.svelte's established navigate/reveal/highlight contract: a same-document link short-circuits into an in-place scroll/focus/temporary-outline-highlight via the page's existing navigateToBlock, a cross-document link is a real <a href> (preserving browser Back and keyboard activation), and a stale/deleted source block degrades safely to just opening the Document (both lookups behind the highlight are optional-chained). Wired into +page.server.ts's load (SSR-only, not live, same accepted tradeoff as its existing documents/collections lists). This corrects course from the previous commit's test-coverage-only approach after Stop-hook feedback: the general Backlinks panel is not, in fact, blocked on #81/#70 — those block a *durable, rebuildable* reverse-link projection (#81's own explicit scope), but a working server-side scan was buildable now using infrastructure search_workspace already proved out (#191's fan-out helper), matching #81's own stated intent to "preserve the current in-memory index as the live UI path until the durable query path is available." Manually verified end-to-end in a real browser: creating a page_link from one Document to another shows it in the target's Backlinks panel, and clicking it navigates to the source Document with the exact block scrolled into view and highlighted (clearing after ~1.5s). Adds: - 8 new unit tests (services.test.ts) covering page_link and inline wiki-link discovery, cross-target exclusion, live source-title reflection, per-source-Document permission filtering (both denied and granted), denial for the target itself, and the audit entry. - 2 new Tier A cases (tests/e2e/tier-a.test.ts's manifest UI-wiring test, both the direct-service-call and harness-driven-route variants) exercising documents.listBacklinks through its real +page.server.ts binding. - docs/specifications/internal-links.md §5 rewritten to describe the new architecture in place of the removed one. Verified: npm run test (1258, was 1250), npm run test:e2e (28 Tier A + 6 Tier B), npm run test:coverage, npm run check, npm run lint — all pass. Manual browser verification via the real dev server.

The hash-navigation $effect (issue #152's "Copy link to block") reads data.documentId, so a client-side navigation that sets both the destination documentId and a #block-<id> hash in the same step (a cross-document Backlinks or SyncedBlockUsage link, or the new BacklinksPanel) re-runs it immediately — before the separate shard-resolution $effect's async fetch has replaced ydoc/blocks with the destination Document's own. The old guard (`!ydoc || blocks.length === 0`) couldn't tell "not loaded yet" apart from "the previous Document's non-empty blocks, still stale": it would search the previous Document's DOM for the new hash, find nothing, and — since it unconditionally marks hashNavigatedForDocument for the new id — never retry once the real destination blocks actually did load. Reproduced with a new component test that defers the shard-resolution fetch to force the race open, confirmed it failed against the unpatched code, then fixed it: added blocksDocumentId, set only by refresh() once blocks genuinely reflect the current documentId, and gated the hash effect on that instead of blocks.length. (CodeRabbit's own suggested fix — clearing ydoc/awareness/blocks synchronously at navigation start — introduced a regression: BlockEditor's cleanup effect throws on ytext.unobserve when ydoc disappears out from under a still-mounted block instance. This is a safer fix for the same root cause, verified against the same reproduction.) Also: - Added the keyboard (Enter) activation counterpart to SyncedBlockUsage's existing pointer-click cross-document navigation test (CodeRabbit) — proves no handler intercepts native link activation via any input method, not just pointer clicks. - Added a focus assertion to the existing stale-block-id deep-link test (CodeRabbit) — a fallback that focused the first block instead of no-op'ing would still have passed the prior scroll/highlight-only assertions. - Declined Qodo's "issue #83 remains open without auto-closing" finding: stale — the PR description already has "Closes #83" as of the previous push. Verified: npm run test (1260, was 1258), npm run test:e2e (28 Tier A + 6 Tier B), npm run check, npm run lint — all pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The test only rendered one block, so a broken navigateToBlock fallback that focused it anyway would have satisfied the single not.toHaveFocus() assertion by coincidence. Adds a second block and asserts it stays unfocused too, so a fallback to *any* block in the Document — not just proving nothing got focused — fails the test.

Summary
Implements issue #83: activating a backlink now opens the correct source Document with the exact referring block visible and distinguishable (not just the Document), with a stale source block degrading safely.
Earlier revision of this PR added test coverage on an adjacent surface after finding the general Backlinks panel had been removed (#120), reasoning it was blocked on #81/#70. That reasoning was wrong, per Stop-hook feedback that correctly pushed back: #81 blocks a durable, rebuildable reverse-link projection — its own scope explicitly says to "preserve the current in-memory index as the live UI path until the durable query path is available." A working server-side scan was buildable right now using infrastructure
search_workspacealready proved out (#191's shared fan-out helper), so this revision implements the real feature instead.What changed
