fix(editor): make undo/redo actually apply

[EtienneLescot]

Ctrl+Z did nothing in the v4 editor. On macOS it did nothing for a second, independent reason.

Rebased onto main @ 1cc63df4, so this now sits on top of the merged #437.

Root cause

The write path that users actually hit never recorded anything.

undo.ts walked a snapshot stack that only projectStore.setDocument ever pushed to. But setDocument is the optimistic, in-memory writer, reserved for a handful of live paths — caption edits mid-typing, editor settings, the two useTimeline drag paths, the agent apply. Every ordinary edit goes through saveDocument, which round-trips to disk, and saveDocument never recorded at all. So past was empty for the edits users make, and Ctrl+Z had nothing to pop.

Where the stack was non-empty, redo was broken too. setDocument pushed via void import("./undo").then(({ pushHistory }) => …), which lands in a later microtask. undo() restored its snapshot inside a synchronous enabled = false / enabled = true bracket, so by the time the deferred push ran the guard was armed again: the undo's own write was recorded as a fresh edit, that push cleared future, and redo was gone before the user could reach for it. Ctrl+Z degraded into an A/B toggle.

On macOS the key never reached the renderer.

Edit ▸ Undo was a bare { role: "undo" } (electron/main.ts:278 on main; there is no registerAccelerator field anywhere in the tree). An Electron role registers its standard accelerator, so the item owned Cmd+Z / Ctrl+Z. On darwin, AppKit matches a menu item's key equivalent inside -[NSApplication sendEvent:] before the key event is delivered to the web contents, so the renderer's keydown handler never ran. What the role ran instead — webContents.undo() — is the web-editing undo, which does nothing outside a focused text field. So Cmd+Z was swallowed by a menu item that could not have serviced it anyway.

(A smaller one, found on the way: the plain-undo branch tested e.key === "z". With Caps Lock on, the browser reports "Z", and the branch fell through to nothing. The redo branches already lowercased.)

What changed

Recording moved to the writers, and every call site has to say why.

• pushHistory moved out of undo.ts into a new leaf module undoStack.ts that imports nothing from the store, so projectStore → undoStack is a static edge with no cycle and no deferred import. The microtask race is gone by construction.
• Both writers now record through one module-private recordHistory in projectStore.ts.
• saveDocument records after the write lands, not before — a failed save now records nothing, so a rollback has nothing to pop.
• DocumentWriteOptions.history is required and deliberately not defaulted. Omitting it is a compile error. A default is a decision nobody makes: defaulting to true is how a background duration probe pushed itself onto the stack, and defaulting to false would recreate [Bug]: Undo/Redo are advertised in the Keyboard Shortcuts modal but do nothing #433 the next time somebody added an edit.
• historyBase handles live drags: a drag writes every pointermove with history: false, so at pointerup the store's "previous" document is the dragged one. The commit passes the pre-drag document instead.
• A write epoch (currentWriteEpoch / supersedeInFlightWrites) closes a race the fix itself opened: a save already in flight when Ctrl+Z was pressed used to install its document over the restored one and push a forward state onto past, wiping the redo the undo had just created.
• undo()/redo() restore by writing useProjectStore.setState directly rather than routing back through a recording writer.

Structural closure — this is the part that matters more than the fix.

#433 produced the same defect three times: a write the user never made recording itself as the thing their next Ctrl+Z reverses. Each round the fix was aimed at the instance. The third round is instructive: replaceTimeline(intervals, reason) hardcoded { history: true } inside itself, so the option never appeared in the signature its callers see and no compile error could reach them. Its one caller is the unattended recording import that runs on editor mount — so a user landed in a brand-new project with past.length === 1 and their first Ctrl+Z emptied their timeline.

So the closure is three-part:

1. pushHistory has exactly one production caller. recordHistory, and nothing else reaches it.
2. Wrappers forward, they do not decide. replaceTimeline and useSequentialTimelineOps.apply take opts and hand it through verbatim. A wrapper that writes has to let its caller decide, or it decides wrong on that caller's behalf.
3. documentWriteAudit.test.ts pins all of it. It parses src/ with the TypeScript AST, finds every saveDocument/setDocument call, classifies each as gesture / automatic / forwarded (the last checked structurally — the identifier passed on must be a parameter of the enclosing function), and diffs the result against a hand-written table of 62 declared write sites (43 gesture, 17 automatic, 2 forwarded). Two further tests pin that recordHistory is called only by saveDocument and setDocument, and that pushHistory is reached only from recordHistory — which is what makes the table the whole surface rather than a sample of it. Add, move or reclassify a write and this fails with a plain diff.

The macOS route.

electron/edit-menu.ts (split out of main.ts so it is testable) gives Undo/Redo explicit CmdOrCtrl+Z / Shift+CmdOrCtrl+Z accelerators instead of roles, on every platform, and forwards clicks to menu-undo / menu-redo. main.ts routes those to the focused window; if that window is not the editor it falls through to webContents.undo(), which is the right answer there, and it never creates an editor window — Cmd+Z is not a request to open the editor. The renderer exposes runUndo / runRedo from useUndoRedoShortcuts, which apply the same rule the keydown path applies: a focused text field gets the browser's own text undo, anything else gets the document undo. The clipboard items keep their roles — they act on the focused selection, which is exactly what the roles do.

It carries the modal guard on that route, which is what makes it safe next to #434.

#437 fixed the keydown hole. This branch adds a second entry point to the same document undo, and that entry point needed the same guard — arguably more urgently. A modal's controls are buttons, so the text-field check waves them straight through; and on macOS the menu is the only path Cmd+Z has, with no keydown handler upstream to stop it. So runUndo/runRedo call isModalOpen() after the text-field check (a rename dialog's input still gets text undo) and before touching the document. Same predicate, same module (lib/ai-edition/modalGuard) — this branch and #437 converged on a byte-identical modalGuard.ts, so the rebase took main's copy unchanged.

Verification

Rebased onto origin/main (1cc63df4) and run there:

npx tsc --noEmit                            exit 0, no output
npx tsc -p tsconfig.test.json --noEmit      exit 0, no output
npm run lint                                exit 0 — Checked 676 files, 13 warnings
npx vitest --run src/lib/ai-edition src/components/ai-edition \
                 src/contexts src/components/ui electron
  Test Files  114 passed (114)
  Tests       1399 passed | 4 skipped (1403)

The 13 lint warnings and the 4 skips are pre-existing on main and live in files this branch does not touch.

New cover, beyond the audit table:

• store/undo.test.ts — undo/redo actually apply and repaint; redo survives an undo; a save in flight across a Ctrl+Z cannot clobber the restore; the menu route's text-field rule; the modal guard (an aria-modal="true" node in the body, runUndo leaves the document untouched, past and future unmoved, no persist — and it comes back when the node is removed).
• electron/edit-menu.test.ts — the items own their accelerators, carry no role and no registerAccelerator, and dispatch menu-undo / menu-redo.
• Regression cover in useTimeline, useSequentialTimelineOps, agentDocumentApply, recordingImport and projectStore tests for the specific writes that used to record and must not.

What this does not prove

The honest limitation, stated plainly. TypeScript cannot express "this code ran because the user did something." history: true on an automatic write is a type-correct lie — it compiles, it type-checks, and it is wrong. The required option forces a direct call site to decide; it cannot see that the function doing the deciding had no business deciding, which is exactly how round 3 above got through. The audit table is a speed bump backed by a hard failure, not a proof: it makes an undeclared or reclassified write fail CI with a diff somebody has to read and resolve by writing down a judgement. It does not make the wrong judgement impossible — someone can still write "gesture" next to a background job and go green.

The version that would be airtight is a UserGesture-token refactor: make the option take a token that can only be minted in an event handler, so "the user did this" becomes something the type system carries rather than something a comment asserts. That is a much larger change across every write site and every wrapper signature, and it was deliberately left out of scope here. This PR buys the structural property that makes it feasible later — one recording chokepoint, wrappers that forward — without attempting it.

Untested paths, named rather than glossed:

• Real macOS AppKit key routing. edit-menu.test.ts asserts the menu descriptor — accelerator string, absence of role, the dispatch on click — in isolation under node. It does not, and cannot here, verify that AppKit delivers the key equivalent to that item on a real Mac, or that the IPC round-trip lands in the editor renderer. The reasoning about -[NSApplication sendEvent:] and the @platform linux,win32 annotation is from Electron's own type declarations and the observed symptom; it wants a manual check on macOS before release.
• The browser text-undo fallback. document.execCommand("undo") is absent under jsdom, hence the optional call. The tests assert the document undo stays out of the way when a text field has focus; they do not assert the browser's text undo then happens.
• No end-to-end run of the Edit menu against a packaged build on any platform.

Undo and redo history

Layer / File(s)	Summary
History core and write epochs src/lib/ai-edition/store/projectStore.ts, src/lib/ai-edition/store/undo.ts, src/lib/ai-edition/store/undoStack.ts, src/lib/ai-edition/store/*test*	The store now requires explicit write options. Undo and redo restore snapshots directly. Write epochs discard stale asynchronous saves.
History-aware editor writes src/components/ai-edition/*, src/lib/ai-edition/store/useCaptions.ts, src/lib/ai-edition/store/useEditorSettings.ts, src/lib/ai-edition/store/useSequentialTimelineOps.ts, src/lib/ai-edition/store/transcriptionStore.ts	Editor writes now opt into or out of history explicitly. Live caption and settings changes commit one history entry per gesture.
Timeline gestures and automatic updates src/lib/ai-edition/store/useTimeline.ts, src/lib/ai-edition/store/useTimeline.test.ts, src/components/ai-edition/recordingImport*	Timeline edits record history. Background probes and recording initialization do not. Drag commits use the pre-drag document as the history base.
Agent save and rollback handling src/lib/ai-edition/store/agentDocumentApply.ts, src/lib/ai-edition/store/agentDocumentApply.test.ts	Agent edits record history only after successful saves. Failure rollback checks that the agent document remains current.
Native Edit menu routing electron/edit-menu.ts, electron/main.ts, electron/preload.ts, electron/electron-env.d.ts, electron/edit-menu.test.ts	Undo and redo use explicit accelerators and editor IPC channels. Non-editor windows retain native undo and redo behavior. Clipboard roles remain native.
Document write-path audit src/lib/ai-edition/store/documentWriteAudit.test.ts	The audit resolves bindings, checks history-stack mutation paths, and covers forwarding, shadowing, destructuring, and missing-options cases.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d6f4f

A failed clip edit can close the modal while losing the user’s entered values and preventing retry. Additional open concerns remain around stale asynchronous imports and gaps in the write-audit coverage, so this PR is not merge-ready until those risks receive owner follow-up or explicit acceptance.

Consider returning the save result from replaceTimeline.

saveDocument now resolves false for a failed write and for a write superseded by undo or a project switch. replaceTimeline discards that boolean and resolves void, so a caller cannot tell whether the timeline reached disk. The recording import is the current caller and could log or retry on false.

♻️ Proposed change

 	replaceTimeline: (
 		intervals: Interval[],
 		reason: string,
 		opts: DocumentWriteOptions,
-	) => Promise<void>;
+	) => Promise<boolean>;

 	async replaceTimeline(intervals, reason, opts) {
 		const doc = get().document;
 		if (!doc) throw new Error("No project loaded");
 		const next = replaceTimelineOp(doc, intervals, reason);
-		await get().saveDocument(next, opts);

Move the onAfterRef assignment out of the render body.

Exported mutable past and future weaken the audit the header describes.

The header explains that pushHistory stays out of undo.ts so documentWriteAudit.test.ts can prove recordHistory is the only production record path. past and future are exported as mutable arrays, so any importer can past.push(...) and bypass that path entirely. The audit does not detect direct array mutation.

If you want the audit to be complete, export read-only views and keep mutation inside this module.

export function historyDepths(): { past: number; future: number } {
	return { past: past.length, future: future.length };
}
export function popPast(): Snapshot | undefined { ... }

Tests that currently seed past directly would move to a helper such as seedHistory().

Resolve src relative to this file, not to process.cwd().

284-290: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Discard addAsset work after a clear or project switch.

addAsset awaits camera lookup, probing, and saveDocument. If clear() or loadProject() runs during those awaits, this operation still reaches the unconditional store update at Lines 309-314. It can restore the old document after deletion, or install it into the newly selected project.

Capture the project identity and write epoch before the first await. Before each persistence or store update, return when either value no longer matches. Add coverage for clearing and switching projects while camera probing is pending.

Thanks — four of the six landed, two are declined with reasons, and chasing one of them turned up a data-loss path that was not in the review.

Commits b103777b → fa1729a1.

Applied

triggerOf arity + scope walk (documentWriteAudit.test.ts) — fixed, but not as suggested. "Check the innermost function" would have broken a correct row: in useSequentialTimelineOps.apply the call sits in a zero-parameter arrow and opts is declared two scopes out, so the outward walk is load-bearing. Implemented as "stop at the first scope that declares the name", which is the other half of the same comment. Pinned in both directions — over-tightening it reddens the forwarding test and the real table.

Also tightened scopeDeclaresLocal to treat function opts(){} / class opts{} as local bindings; it only looked at ts.isVariableStatement before.

Mutable past / future — the arrays are module-private now, exposed as readonly views plus pushPast / popPast / pushFuture / popFuture. The bypass is a compile error, pinned by a @ts-expect-error trio. Test call sites that seeded via past.push(...) now use pushHistory / clearHistory.

clearHistory() from clear() — real, but the mechanism is not the one described. undo() already compares projectId, so a stale stack cannot restore a foreign document; the first Ctrl+Z pops, wipes and returns false. The load-bearing half is the write-epoch bump. Deleting the currently-open project left an in-flight background save able to resolve and re-install the deleted project's document with projectId: null, marked clean and freshly saved. Two regression tests.

Route-level tests for sendEditorUndoRedo — routing extracted into electron/edit-menu.ts as routeEditorUndoRedo so it is reachable without importing main.ts (which calls app.requestSingleInstanceLock() at import time). Three tests: editor IPC dispatch, non-editor webContents.undo() fallback, destroyed-window no-op.

Declined

onAfterRef.current = onAfter during render — the pattern is real but pre-existing: both lines are unchanged context in this PR's diff, only the signature above them changed. And no-ref-current-in-render does not run here — biome.json's correctness block is an explicit allow-list with recommended: false, and there is no ESLint config in the repo. Worth its own change if wanted, not this one.

replaceTimeline returning the save result — accurate as description, empty as defect. The single production caller cannot act on it: recordingImport.ts calls setCurrentRecordingSession(null) before the seed, deliberately, so that a failure below cannot hand the same recording to the next editor window. Retry is already impossible by design, and failures are logged and toasted in projectStore.

The one about drag snapshots — and what it led to

Fixed in useEditorSettings and useCaptions, with one addition: the projectId effect alone does not close the same-project half, because projectId never changes and the effect never runs. That half is user-visible — abandoned drag, two edits, then a bare commit(), and one Ctrl+Z jumps over both. So the commit also takes an identity test, liveDocRef.current === doc ? liveBaseRef.current : null, which is setLive's own rule read the other way round. The comments say which mechanism does what rather than implying the effect covers it.

Then the same defect turned out to sit in useTimeline — the hook the fix cites as its model — at both of its commits, and worse there: rollback is used as a document, not only as a historyBase. Reachable via FloatingInspector's annotation <textarea> (live on every keystroke, commits onBlur) sharing one useTimeline() instance with a bare SliderCell mouseup. With the commit's save failing, it silently discarded two intervening edits. Fixed the same way, with its own regression test — that variant had no equivalent anywhere.

Sweep afterwards: eight useRef<AxcutDocument> across four hooks, every historyBase: call site, every useProjectStore.setState. Nothing else left unguarded.

Header claims

While in there, documentWriteAudit.test.ts's header was overstating what it proves. Removed "the table is the whole surface, not a sample of it" and "there is no third way that skips a name this file can count". The scan is syntactic: it cannot see indirection, it asks where an identifier was bound rather than what value arrives, and readonly is erased so a cast walks past it. Those non-catches are now pinned by fixtures so the caveat is measured rather than remembered.

And the four shipped useProjectStore.setState({ document }) sites are now counted as a third writer with trigger unrecorded, rather than left outside a guarantee that claimed to cover writes "in plain sight".

Gates on fa1729a1: tsc 0, tsc -p tsconfig.test.json 0, lint 0, and 116 files / 1428 passed | 4 skipped.

943-967: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Propagate failed clip-edit saves to the modal.

saveDocument returns false after a handled persistence failure. Line 965 discards that result. NewEditorShell then closes the Edit Clip modal after queueing this operation, so a failed Apply loses the entered values and prevents a retry.

Return a success result from applyClipEdit. Close the modal only after the queued operation resolves true. Add a failed-save regression test in src/lib/ai-edition/store/useTimeline.test.ts.

As per coding guidelines, add a test for every new behavior in the same package.

All three addressed in 67d191cd. The addAsset one was real and is the important one; both audit findings were real but neither suggested fix was safe to apply as written.

addAsset after a clear or project switch — fixed

Confirmed. It awaits the native add, a camera lookup, a dimension probe and a save, then writes the store unconditionally. Guarded with the same pair saveDocument samples: the project id says which project, the write epoch says whether anything superseded the write in flight. Checked after the native add and again before the store write; returns null, which the declared Promise<AxcutAsset | null> already allowed and no caller reads.

Two tests, and they fail without the guard with exactly the two symptoms:

× does not reinstall a deleted project's document
  AssertionError: expected { schemaVersion: 7, …(8) } to be null
× does not drop one project's asset into the project the user switched to
  AssertionError: expected 'proj_test' to be 'proj_other'

isProjectStoreSetState — fixed, but not as suggested

The concern is right: keyed on receiver and method name alone, setState({ dirty: true }) would become a row the table cannot judge.

The suggested fix — "return true only when the first argument is an object literal containing a document property" — would have removed three of the four real rows. Three of the four production call sites pass an updater, not an object literal:

Call site	Shape
agentDocumentApply.ts	setState({ document, dirty })
undo.ts restore	setState((state) => ({ document, … }))
useTimeline.ts ×2	setState((state) => (state.document === doc ? { document: rollback, … } : {}))

So the predicate now asks what the call actually writes, across the shapes that exist: object literal, updater with an expression body, updater with a block body, and a conditional where only one branch writes the document — the call can write one, which is what the row is about.

Worth noting how that last case was found: my own first attempt accepted only plain object literals and the audit test immediately reported the two useTimeline rows gone. Same mechanism that catches a new undeclared write caught a bad tightening of itself.

Four fixtures added, including setState({ dirty: true }) → not a row.

bindingOf and constructor / setter parameters — fixed

Real. isFunctionLike exists to name a function, and a constructor or a set accessor has no name a reader would use for a write site — so both were excluded, and a parameter of either read as a local. Split out declaresParameter, which is the wider question the walk was actually asking; isFunctionLike keeps its narrower job for naming. Two fixtures.

No such code in the tree today, so this changes no row — it closes the gap rather than a bug.

Verification

Each of the three sets of tests was checked red against its own production change reverted, not just green after. On 67d191cd: tsc 0, tsc -p tsconfig.test.json 0, lint 0 (13 pre-existing warnings, none in the touched files), and 117 files / 1450 passed | 4 skipped.
