## Summary
- allow dragging a single image asset from the Assets panel onto the
canvas
- insert an Image component with its source bound to the dragged asset
in one undoable mutation
- preserve asset-folder drops and canceled drags
- build the Builder once in CI and reuse the compact build artifact
across all E2E shards
## E2E timing
Recent CI showed shard test runtimes of roughly 101–145 seconds, while
every shard also repeated a roughly two-minute Builder build. The four
shards are already reasonably balanced, so a fifth shard would not
address the primary bottleneck.
The shared artifact is about 30 MB uncompressed and roughly 5 MB
compressed because checked-out public assets are excluded. This should
return individual shard jobs to the 2–3 minute range.
## Validation
- 45 focused unit tests
- image asset to canvas E2E using the prebuilt-artifact path
- image asset to folder regression E2E
- Builder typecheck
- lint
- package-boundary validation
- workflow YAML validation
- shell syntax validation

- Organize assets into nested folders.
- Navigate folders with breadcrumbs and Back controls.
- Select and manage multiple assets and folders at once.
- Drag, copy, cut, paste, duplicate, move, and delete items.
- Use context menus and familiar keyboard shortcuts for common actions.
- Search and sort assets and folders, with folders grouped first.
- Upload files directly into the active folder.
- Manage folder placement from asset and folder settings.
- Automate asset and folder management through MCP.
- **Restore points for agent work**: Create named restore points before
major edits, review changes with a dry run, and safely revert project
content if needed.
- **Shared Slot authoring**: Agents can turn existing sections into
shared Slots and insert linked copies across pages, including valid
nested Slots.
- **DTCG and Figma token imports**: Import design tokens and CSS
variables through CLI, MCP, or direct paste, with aliases, modes,
composite values, and mappings supported.
- **Consistent token conflict handling**: Every paste workflow now
offers the same preserve, rename, or merge choices instead of silently
overwriting existing design tokens.
- **Draft-page previews**: Agents can generate and inspect previews of
draft pages without publishing them or exposing drafts in production
builds.
- **Safer MCP mutations**: Destructive operations require explicit
confirmation, invalid raw patches and invented record IDs are rejected,
and restore operations commit atomically.
- **More dependable agent contracts**: New tools have complete runtime
schemas, clearer validation errors, and consistent behavior across CLI,
MCP, Builder, and server APIs.
## Summary
- remove the misleading **Connect your agent** section from Builder
Project Settings
- make the CLI the sole owner of MCP client configuration
- verify the linked project endpoint and credential before changing
client configuration
- safely merge Webstudio into existing Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code
MCP files
- print the explicit global registration command for Codex instead of
editing its global configuration silently
- document the agent-led setup flow and safe handling of editable share
links
## Why
Builder runs in the browser and cannot configure files or global
settings on a user's local machine. The previous Project Settings UI
duplicated client definitions in the protocol package, exposed a setup
command containing the project credential, and could appear successful
without proving that the local agent was connected.
This moves local-client concerns into the CLI, removes the browser-only
setup surface, and makes configuration success depend on a valid,
reachable project link.
## User impact
A user can ask their agent to connect the current folder to Webstudio.
The agent links and synchronizes the project, runs `webstudio connect
<client>`, reloads the client, and verifies the connection by listing
project pages.
Invalid or stale links fail before any client file is changed, with a
credential-safe recovery message.
## Validation
- full CLI suite: 50 files, 786 tests
- full Builder suite: 163 files, 2,148 tests
- protocol suite: 73 tests
- CLI, Builder, and protocol typechecks
- root lint and package-boundary checks
- generated API and documentation checks
- real VS Code MCP handshake against a saved project: 156 tools
discovered
- fresh weak-model subagent test: repeated connection remained
idempotent and `meta.index` returned `ok: true`
## What changed
- Remap pasted breakpoint IDs when the same ID already belongs to a
different breakpoint in the destination project.
- Carry the remapped ID into pasted style declarations.
- Add a regression test for inserting a fragment whose breakpoint ID
conflicts with an existing project breakpoint.
## Why
HTML and Tailwind conversion uses compact fragment-local breakpoint IDs
such as `"0"` and `"1"`. In non-empty projects, one of those IDs can
already identify a different breakpoint. The fragment copy path
previously retained the incoming ID, causing the runtime to reject the
mutation with `Generated record id "1" already exists`.
## Impact
Pasting HTML with Tailwind classes now works in existing projects even
when generated fragment breakpoint IDs overlap project breakpoint IDs.
Matching breakpoints continue to be reused.
## Validation
- `pnpm --filter @webstudio-is/project-build test --
src/runtime/components.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @webstudio-is/project-build test --
src/runtime/fragment.test.tsx src/runtime/breakpoints.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @webstudio-is/project-build typecheck`
- `pnpm exec oxlint packages/project-build/src/runtime/fragment.ts
packages/project-build/src/runtime/components.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec oxfmt --check
packages/project-build/src/runtime/fragment.ts
packages/project-build/src/runtime/components.test.ts`
- `git diff --check`
## Summary
This improves how coding agents discover, author, verify, and audit
Webstudio projects through the CLI and MCP. The work focuses on making
agents more reliable with less context, while keeping edits semantic and
Builder-editable.
## What changes for users
- Agents can verify dynamic bindings after authoring and receive
actionable diagnostics when expressions, resources, scopes, or component
props do not line up.
- Agents can create complete resource-backed runtime UI through a
semantic operation instead of coordinating fragile low-level edits.
- MCP discovery and command output are compact by default, with
pagination and focused verbose detail when an agent needs more context.
- Asset, style, token, font, page, and component inspection provides
stronger usage context so agents can preserve the existing design
system.
- Rendered audits provide better evidence for responsive behavior,
geometry, contrast, generated-build size, and large-project runs.
- Cross-project MCP workflows can run from a manifest with explicit
mutation approval, isolated failures, resumable progress, and persistent
checkpoints.
- Project-specific agent onboarding is clearer and does not add
telemetry.
- Packaged CLI releases gain stronger smoke verification for install,
MCP startup, authoring, preview, screenshots, and audits.
## Reliability and architecture
- Runtime operation output schemas are generated from the runtime
registry and remain client-compatible.
- Project-build exports are consolidated around architectural boundaries
instead of feature-by-feature convenience entry points.
- HTTP, preview, screenshot, and project-session paths are hardened for
longer autonomous workflows.
- Craft compatibility work is read-only and provenance-aware; it does
not silently opt ordinary projects into Craft behavior.
- A minimal-context evaluation harness exercises key workflows with a
weaker model and stores bounded, privacy-safe evidence.
## Validation
- Rebased on the latest `origin/main`.
- `pnpm lint`
- Repository-wide `oxfmt --check`
- CLI typecheck and full test suite: 773 tests passed.
- Project-build typecheck and full test suite: 1,866 tests passed.
- Protocol typecheck and full test suite: 83 tests passed.
- HTTP client tests: 23 passed.
- CSS data tests: 3,620 passed, 1 skipped.
- Focused Builder tests: 67 passed.
- Package-boundary, generated API, and generated documentation checks
passed.
- Minimal-context agent evaluations passed for authenticated
resource-backed UI and design-system-aware responsive authoring.
## Summary
This improves how agents discover, author, inspect, and verify Webstudio
projects while reducing unnecessary MCP context usage.
## What changed
- Adds an **Agents** section to Project Settings with ready-to-run setup
commands and client configuration for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and VS
Code.
- Makes large list and schema responses compact and paginated by
default, with **verbose** available when complete records or diagnostics
are needed.
- Applies consistent compact output to assets, instances, styles, design
tokens, CLI schemas, and project-session metadata.
- Returns actionable expression warnings for props, resources, and
Collection bindings, including unknown variables and risky render-time
mutation resources.
- Improves Collection expression guidance so agents can bind array items
with the correct scoped variables.
- Reports rendered audit outcomes explicitly as complete, partial,
confirmation-required, or failed.
- Expands runtime output schemas so MCP clients can validate responses
reliably.
- Strengthens the packaged CLI smoke workflow with a realistic
seven-page stdio MCP scenario.
## Architecture
- Consolidates `project-build` from 65 file-oriented entrypoints to 11
architecture-owned surfaces.
- Separates the core model, contracts, runtime authoring, transfer,
state, project sessions, MCP, visual tooling, persistence codecs, and
authenticated server services.
- Isolates Node-only JSX evaluation from browser-safe transfer utilities
and authenticated server modules.
- Keeps persistence codecs independent from authenticated database
services, preventing unrelated module initialization.
- Defines shared instance-path types once and reuses them across runtime
modules.
- Preserves Immer initialization through explicit package side-effect
metadata.
- Adds package tests that prevent a return to source-file entrypoints or
generic exposure of Node-only surfaces.
## Validation
- Full repository checks, tests, typechecks, generated-file checks, and
fixtures
- All 163 Builder test files and 2,141 tests
- All 71 project-build test files and 1,794 tests
- Lint and package-boundary validation
- Full packed CLI release smoke test, including install, preview, agent
setup, seven-page stdio MCP workflow, rendered audit, and structured
commands
This update helps AI agents understand, audit, and visually verify
Webstudio projects more reliably. It also adds clearer guidance for
expressions, Collections, screenshots, and responsive rendered audits.
### Audit complete projects
- Run one `audit` command across accessibility, SEO, security, assets,
styles, and performance.
- Audit the whole project or focus on a specific page, scope, or
severity.
- Receive stable findings with locations, explanations, and recommended
fixes.
- Continue large result sets through pagination without repeating
general guidance.
### Audit the rendered website
- Build and inspect the generated website, rather than relying only on
stored project data.
- Check every static page at representative mobile, tablet, and desktop
widths.
- Use one suitable viewport inside each configured breakpoint range.
- Reuse the same browser and resize pages between captures for
substantially faster audits.
- Process multiple pages concurrently while keeping resource use
bounded.
- Supply concrete examples for dynamic routes such as blog posts.
- Review and confirm unusually large screenshot plans before they run.
### Find visual and performance problems
Rendered audits can detect:
- Horizontal page overflow.
- Broken images.
- Images loaded eagerly below the fold.
- Images that are much larger than their rendered size.
- Render-blocking resources.
- Legacy font formats.
- Pages that fail to load or redirect somewhere unexpected.
- Pages captured before their layout becomes stable.
Detailed screenshots, measurements, failures, and timing evidence are
saved locally for further inspection.
### Capture generated pages directly
- Capture a project route with `webstudio screenshot --path /route`.
- Automatically generate and start a temporary production-style preview.
- Stop the temporary preview after the screenshot is captured.
- Return navigation, responsive layout, and page-size evidence with JSON
output.
- Allow external image domains needed by the generated preview.
### Reuse generated previews
- Cache generated preview builds when the project has not changed.
- Reuse preview dependencies across regenerations.
- Keep preview dependencies isolated from the user’s project
dependencies.
- Surface preview build and startup failures with useful diagnostic
output.
- Include local project assets in generated previews.
### Author Collections correctly
- Explain when Collection is required for arrays and objects.
- Guide agents to bind the complete iterable instead of one item or the
response wrapper.
- Explain how Collection repeats its children for every entry.
- Explain current-item and current-key scope.
- Preserve Webstudio’s generated Collection parameters.
- Guide agents to use stable values for repeated interactive components.
### Write expressions with fewer mistakes
- Add a dedicated `webstudio://project/expressions` reference.
- Document expression scope, supported syntax, and supported methods.
- Explain how resources, variables, Collections, actions, and `system`
values are accessed.
- Distinguish fixed values from runtime expressions.
- Provide valid examples for text, props, resource URLs, headers, query
parameters, and bodies.
- Warn agents that valid syntax does not guarantee that runtime data has
the expected shape.
### Improve agent discovery
- Make Collection and expression workflows discoverable through
`meta.guide`.
- Return Collection-specific instructions through `components.get`.
- Point relevant command schemas to the expression reference.
- Keep detailed guidance available without placing it in every tool
response.
### Improve audit reliability
- Report which rendered captures passed, found issues, failed, or were
skipped.
- Distinguish planning, preview, capture, and cleanup failures.
- Include actionable retry instructions with rendered failures.
- Preserve completed evidence when part of an audit fails.
- Detect stale or conflicting preview servers more clearly.
- Support cancellation and bounded capture timeouts.
### Improve packaged CLI verification
- Add a release-shaped CLI smoke test.
- Install the packed CLI in an isolated temporary project.
- Fail on peer-dependency warning floods.
- Verify preview, screenshots, MCP calls, rendered audits, and generated
assets.
- Confirm that generic React Router previews do not include Docker-only
image dependencies.
- Keep CLI and MCP stdout machine-readable while progress remains on
stderr.
## User Impact
Agents can now audit a real rendered Webstudio site, inspect responsive
behavior, find concrete visual and performance problems, and provide
evidence for their conclusions. They also receive much clearer
instructions when turning API data into repeated content or writing
dynamic expressions.
Improves CLI and MCP reliability across project synchronization, asset
editing, imports, audits, and clipboard workflows.
## Changes
- Keeps asset filename and description updates after session refresh.
- Prevents intermittent Immer patch errors during consecutive MCP
mutations.
- Prevents false edit conflicts caused by stale local session state.
- Preserves asset uploads without treating them as redundant metadata
updates.
- Exposes editable asset filenames consistently through MCP.
- Imports project assets correctly when copying projects between
environments.
- Supports refreshing partially available project snapshots.
- Keeps MCP operations working when optional project data is
unavailable.
- Produces clearer compatibility errors when the API and CLI versions
differ.
- Makes rendered audits more resilient when individual screenshots fail.
- Prevents rendered audits from hanging while starting browser captures.
- Handles denied clipboard permissions without uncaught browser errors.
- Improves copy and paste reliability for pages, components, styles, and
animations.
## Verification
- Asset uploader tests and typechecking pass.
- Focused asset workflow E2E passes.
- Complete E2E shard 1 passes.
- Realistic MCP subagent test confirms:
- Asset filename and description persist after refresh.
- Consecutive mutations work without manual refresh.
- No Immer patch error occurs.
- No false conflict occurs.
- Original asset values can be restored successfully.
## Summary
This update adds new MCP and CLI capabilities for project auditing,
structured data, project-specific agent instructions, focused project
search, safer bulk editing, image descriptions, font discovery, visual
verification, and external registry inspection.
## New Capabilities
### Audit projects
- Run a single `audit` command across accessibility, SEO, security,
assets, styles, and performance.
- Limit an audit to selected scopes, pages, or severity levels.
- Receive stable findings with locations and suggested fixes.
- Run rendered audits across desktop, mobile, and Builder breakpoint
widths.
- Detect horizontal overflow, broken images, oversized images, eager
below-fold images, render-blocking resources, and legacy font formats.
- Identify unused assets, tokens, CSS variables, local styles, and
breakpoints.
- Identify duplicate token declarations.
- Detect accessibility issues involving names, labels, headings,
landmarks, IDs, keyboard focus, ARIA, iframes, and autoplaying media.
- Detect SEO issues involving titles, descriptions, language, social
images, and structured data.
- Detect unsafe new-tab links and write resources exposed during page
rendering.
### Search an entire project
- Search project text, labels, props, resources, assets, and styles
through `search-project`.
- Find relevant records without downloading and reparsing the full
project snapshot.
- Scope searches to the relevant project-data areas.
### Add validated JSON-LD
- Add structured data with a dedicated JSON-LD component.
- Place JSON-LD inside the page Head Slot.
- Edit JSON in a purpose-built code editor.
- Prevent structurally invalid JSON-LD from being saved.
- Validate Schema.org types, properties, and values.
- Find invalid, missing, unknown, deprecated, or incompatible structured
data through the SEO audit.
- Let agents discover the correct JSON-LD workflow without using page
custom metadata or a generic HTML embed.
### Configure project-specific agent instructions
- Add AI-agent instructions from the new **Agents** section in Project
Settings.
- Synchronize those instructions into a managed root `AGENTS.md`.
- Update or remove the managed file automatically during project sync.
- Protect existing user-owned `AGENTS.md` files from being overwritten.
- Share the instructions with authenticated CLI and MCP agents.
- Keep agent instructions out of publicly readable production bundles.
### Generate and manage image descriptions
- Audit image assets for missing descriptions.
- Let a vision-capable agent inspect each image in its rendered context.
- Save generated descriptions to multiple image assets in one operation.
- Mark images as intentionally decorative.
- Reuse the saved asset description wherever the image is used.
- Re-run the audit to verify that missing-description findings are
resolved.
### Perform bounded bulk replacements
- Replace matching literal text across selected pages with
`replace-text`.
- Replace matching fixed prop text with `replace-prop-text`.
- Replace matching resource names or URLs with `replace-resource-text`.
- Restrict replacements by page, instance, prop, resource, field, match
mode, and maximum change count.
- Leave dynamic expressions unchanged.
### Inspect element ancestry
- Return an element’s direct parent in instance listings.
- Request the complete ancestor chain when inspecting an element.
- Understand tree placement without rebuilding the instance hierarchy
from raw project data.
### Discover available fonts
- List uploaded font families through `list-fonts`.
- Discover available system font stacks.
- Inspect font family, style, weight, format, and associated asset
information before applying typography.
### Inspect external component registries
- Inspect a local or remote shadcn-style registry item.
- Read its description, files, dependencies, targets, and documentation.
- Receive an explicit Webstudio compatibility report.
- Inspect registry metadata without installing or executing external
code.
### Capture generated project routes directly
- Run `webstudio screenshot --path /route` against the configured
project.
- Generate a temporary production-style preview automatically.
- Capture the requested route.
- Stop the temporary preview after capture.
- Avoid manually building and starting a preview for a single
screenshot.
### Assert visual changes
- Add expected text to screenshot comparisons.
- Set maximum pixel mismatch limits.
- Set minimum or maximum changed-region counts.
- Assert whether overall brightness or a color channel moved in the
expected direction.
- Use these assertions as pass/fail evidence for visual changes.
### Require compatible CLI versions
- Send the project-bundle contract version with CLI synchronization
requests.
- Stop incompatible CLI versions before they receive incomplete project
data.
- Tell users exactly how to update the CLI or run the latest version
once.
- Prevent older clients from silently dropping project settings.
## Upgrade Note
This branch introduces a new synchronized project-bundle contract. Older
CLI versions must update before synchronizing against the new API.
```sh
npm install -g webstudio@latest
```
Or run the latest version once:
```sh
npx webstudio@latest <command>
```

## prettier -> oxfmt (0.58.0)
- .oxfmtrc.json generated with `oxfmt --migrate=prettier`: trailingComma
es5, printWidth 80 (oxfmt defaults to 100), sortPackageJson disabled,
.prettierignore patterns folded in (file deleted).
- ignorePatterns additionally exclude yml/yaml/toml/jsonc and
packages/cli/templates/** so oxfmt covers exactly the file set prettier
used to format (ts,tsx,js,json,css,md) and never touches user-facing
scaffolding artifacts.
- root `format` script, nano-staged pre-commit hook and the CI check
(`pnpm oxfmt --check`, replacing `prettier --cache --check` and its
actions/cache step — oxfmt checks the whole repo in ~0.7s) now run
oxfmt.
- every generator script that ran `prettier --write` on __generated__
output now runs `oxfmt` (css-data, icons, html-data, postgrest, sdk,
sdk-components-*, apps/builder tailwind preflight).
- the four scripts that used prettier's JS `format()` API write raw
source instead and their package.json scripts pipe the generated file
through the oxfmt CLI: project-build generate-docs +
generate-runtime-operation-contracts, cli generate-docs, apps/builder
generate-server-only-api-metadata. oxfmt rejects paths containing "..",
so cross-package generated files are formatted via a subshell cd into
the owning package.
- one-time reformat: oxfmt's canonical output differs from prettier on 8
repo source files (binary-operator continuation indent, import() call
wrapping, sub-pixel spacing of empty for-clauses); oxfmt honors existing
`// prettier-ignore` comments so intentional layouts are kept.
- prettier remains ONLY as a cli devDependency for the
prettier/standalone HTML normalizer inside html-to-jsx.test.ts, and
inside fixtures/ + packages/cli/templates/ (ships to scaffolded user
projects; out of scope here).
- editor config switched from esbenp.prettier-vscode to oxc.oxc-vscode
(devcontainer extension list, .vscode editor.defaultFormatter).
## oxlint 1.56 -> 1.73
- oxlint 1.73 rules-of-hooks special-cases hooks NAMED useEffectEvent:
their results may only be called from effects. Our
app/shared/hook-utils/effect-event.ts is a stable-callback helper
(useEvent pattern), intentionally called from event handlers and passed
as props. The rule is disabled via .oxlintrc.json overrides for the five
files doing this (product code untouched); note those files lose
hook-order linting entirely until the rule becomes configurable.
## TypeScript 5.8.2 -> 7.0.2 (native compiler)
- `tsc` is now the Go-based native binary; all `tsgo` script usages
(workspace packages and fixtures) renamed back to `tsc` and
@typescript/native-preview removed (the package is being phased out).
- fixes for TS7 changed defaults and stricter checks:
- `types` now defaults to [] -> base tsconfig sets "types": ["node"]
(restores the implicit-@types/node behavior of TS5).
- `rootDir` now defaults to ./ -> every tsconfig.dts.json sets
"rootDir": "./src" (TS5011 otherwise).
- import assertions removed -> cli/src/cli.ts uses `with { type: "json"
}` (TS2880).
- stricter isolatedDeclarations inference -> explicit annotations in
css-data bin/property-filter.ts (TS9010) and image image-dev.stories.tsx
(TS9013).
- declaration serialization limit -> project-build builder-runtime.ts
runtimeOperationContracts gets an explicit type (TS7056); the annotation
preserves the narrow RuntimeOperationId union.
- TS7 ships no stable programmatic API:
- react-sdk (component-generator tests drive the compiler API) aliases
its typescript devDependency to @typescript/typescript6@^6.0.2; its bin
is `tsc6`, so the package's typecheck still runs native TS7 tsc from the
workspace root.
- generate-arg-types keeps typescript 5.8.2 for react-docgen-typescript.
- fixtures/ and packages/cli/templates/ keep typescript 5.8.2
(user-facing); fixture scripts still work because plain `tsc` resolves
to their local dependency.
## vite -> rolldown-vite 7.3.1 (oxc bundler)
- global pnpm override `"vite": "npm:rolldown-vite@^7.3.1"`: the builder
app (remix v2 vite plugin works unmodified), every package vite build
and the storybook build now bundle on rolldown/oxc.
- vitest is scoped BACK to vanilla vite via `vitest>vite`,
`vite-node>vite` and `@vitest/mocker>vite` overrides because vitest
3.1's runner does not understand rolldown's SSR transform
(__vite_ssr_exportName__ ReferenceError in every suite).
- those overrides pin vite EXACTLY to 6.3.4: letting ^6.3.4 float to
6.4.3 breaks cli prebuild tests (dynamic import of a generated
app/routes/$.tsx fails to resolve under 6.4.3's loader).
## unrelated cleanup requested during review
- apps/builder commands.ts imports duplicate-tokens-group statically
instead of via dynamic import. The circular dependency the dynamic
import guarded against only exists through the command-panel barrel
(command-panel.tsx > groups/index.ts > commands-group.tsx >
commands.ts); importing the group module directly is cycle-free
(verified with madge), matching the neighboring wrap-group and
convert-group imports.
## verification
- pnpm lint, oxfmt --check: clean.
- pnpm -r typecheck (TS7 native) and pnpm dts: clean.
- pnpm -r test: all suites pass (builder 2093 tests, cli 630, react-sdk
45, project-build 11, ...).
- builder app build, full workspace build, cli build and storybook build
all succeed on rolldown-vite.

- Fix publish sync for empty JSON data variables
- Retry transient asset downloads once with shared sync-client backoff
- Fix Builder paste handling for Webstudio transfer data
- Add transfer/data-envelope terminology and colocated runtime
data-format modules
- Rename page clipboard runtime operation to page transfer semantics
- Report malformed Webstudio/Webflow paste data through paste results
instead of inserting it as text

## Summary
Fixes shared Slot editing so linked Slot occurrences stay consistent
across structural edits and labels.
## Changes
- Fixed moving a direct Slot child out of a Slot so the child is removed
from all linked Slot occurrences.
- Fixed unwrapping a direct Slot child so the child is removed from all
linked Slot occurrences.
- Added linked Slot label sync when renaming from Navigator or Settings
panel.
- Added/updated tests for canonical Slots, legacy Slots, nested Slot
children, keyboard moves, unwrap, reparent, and label sync.
- Simplified stale Slot detach logic that was incorrectly cloning only
the selected Slot occurrence.
## Testing
- `pnpm --filter @webstudio-is/builder test --
app/shared/instance-utils/...`
- `pnpm --filter @webstudio-is/builder test --
app/builder/shared/commands.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @webstudio-is/builder typecheck`
- `pnpm lint`
- `git diff --check`
## Summary
Fixes insertion into legacy Slot instances whose children are stored
directly under the Slot instead of under the newer hidden Fragment
wrapper.
Previously, adding an element to an old Slot could insert the new
element into the first existing Slot child. The insertion path assumed
the first Slot child was always a Fragment.
## Changes
- Normalize legacy Slot children during insertion by wrapping direct
Slot children in a Fragment.
- Preserve the existing behavior for valid `Slot -> Fragment ->
children` structures.
- Add regression tests for:
- low-level `insertInstanceChildrenMutable`
- UI-facing `insertWebstudioElementAt`
## Validation
```bash
pnpm --filter @webstudio-is/builder test -- app/shared/instance-utils.test.tsx
pnpm --filter @webstudio-is/builder typecheck
```
**Summary**
Fixes content-mode edit permissions so editor-only users can perform
allowed content workflows without backend “build permission” failures.
**Changes**
- Added shared content-mode permission validation used by backend
authorization.
- Aligned content-mode capabilities around editable props, editable
instances, content roots, pages, assets, and template insertion.
- Allowed content-safe instance/text/page/template/style changes while
keeping design/data/resource changes build-only.
- Updated template insertion to preserve content-safe local styles and
reuse tokens by id.
- Added accessible `SyncStatusDot` for e2e-visible sync state without
replacing the existing sync status UI.
- Added builder e2e setup with Postgres/PostgREST and a first
content-mode browser test:
- edit existing text as an editor-only user
- wait for saved state via the sync status dot
- reload and verify persistence
**Verification**
- `pnpm --filter=@webstudio-is/builder test -- sync-status.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter=@webstudio-is/builder typecheck`
- `git diff --check`
- `pnpm e2e:builder`
Adds permission protection around page templates so content editors can
create pages from templates without being able to open, edit, or patch
template pages directly.
## Description
1. Issue: https://github.com/webstudio-is/webstudio/issues/4931
2. Adds V1 of Page Templates for designers:
- stores project-local page templates separately from published pages
- adds a designer-only Page Templates section in the Pages panel
- supports creating, editing, duplicating, deleting, and reordering
templates
- supports creating a regular page from a template through a prefilled
page settings dialog
- makes canvas/page awareness, asset usage, asset replacement, and
page-copy utilities template-aware while keeping templates out of normal
public page lookup paths
## Steps for reproduction
1. Open the builder in Design mode and open the Pages panel.
2. Click the New Template button in the Page Templates section.
3. Fill in template settings, including name, title, description, search
toggle, social image, and custom metadata.
4. Click Create template and expect the new template to appear under
Page Templates and load on the canvas with an editable blank body.
5. Add content to the template canvas, reopen template settings, change
metadata, close/reopen settings, and expect the changes to persist.
6. Click the `+` action on the template row and expect a Create Page
from Template dialog prefilled from the template with a unique page
path.
7. Change page settings, click Create page, and expect a normal page to
be created in the root folder with copied content and metadata while the
template remains unchanged.
8. Right-click a template row, choose Duplicate, and expect a new
independent template copy with a deduplicated name.
9. Drag templates within the Page Templates section and expect the order
to persist.
10. Right-click a template row, choose Delete, confirm deletion, and
expect the template and its canvas tree to be removed. If the deleted
template was selected, expect the builder to navigate back to the home
page.
11. Switch to Content mode and expect template management UI to be
hidden.
12. Use a template social image from Assets, check asset usages, replace
the asset, and expect the template social image reference to update.

**Summary**
Fixes slot occurrence mutations so operations on one rendered slot
instance do not leak into other slot instances sharing the same slot
content.
**Changes**
- Unwrap now skips the hidden slot `Fragment` and unwraps the visible
slot occurrence on the first command.
- Added shared slot content detachment before path-sensitive mutations:
- delete
- reparent
- wrap
- duplicate
- convert `Slot` to non-slot component
- Added regression tests for two slot instances sharing `fragment ->
div` content.
**Validation**
```bash
pnpm --filter @webstudio-is/builder test -- app/shared/instance-utils.test.tsx
pnpm --filter @webstudio-is/builder typecheck
```
Closes https://github.com/webstudio-is/webstudio/issues/3991
Adds HTTP Basic Authentication support for published pages and
project-level `.wsauth` rules.
This introduces a new `@webstudio-is/wsauth` package that owns the
generic authentication format logic: parsing, validation, serialization,
route matching, resource generation, and request authentication. The
current supported method is `basic`, with the package structured so
additional auth methods can be added later.
Builder changes include:
- Page Settings now has an `Authentication` section for per-page Basic
Auth credentials.
- Project Settings now has an `Authentication` section for editing
`.wsauth` route rules.
- Page Settings was split into section-specific files with focused
tests.
- Auth UI shows Pro badges/info tooltips but remains editable.
- Publishing to custom domains is blocked on plans without `allowAuth`
when either page auth or project auth is configured.
- ProBadge now renders as a real pricing link and uses improved text
alignment.
Build/publish changes include:
- CLI prebuild generates and merges `.wsauth` entries.
- Published app templates enforce auth for HTML/XML routes.
- Generated auth resources are shared between build output and runtime.
Limits projects to 8 editable breakpoints, with a toast warning when
users try to add more. Pasted/imported styles that exceed the limit are
merged into the closest existing breakpoint instead of creating new
ones.
Also updates the breakpoint editor UI with required names, hover-only
trash actions, scrolling, and tighter layout polish.
Closes https://github.com/webstudio-is/webstudio/issues/4209
**Summary**
Migrates Builder bootstrap data loading from the legacy
`/rest/data/:projectId` endpoint to `build.loadData` tRPC, while keeping
the old REST route as a no-store compatibility shim.
Hardens authenticated Builder/dashboard responses by explicitly sending:
- `Cache-Control: private, no-store, max-age=0`
- `Pragma: no-cache`
- `Expires: 0`
- `Vary: Cookie`
**Details**
- Added `build.loadData` tRPC query for full Builder state.
- Switched Builder client bootstrap loading to tRPC.
- Added shared cache-control helpers for private no-store responses.
- Made tRPC responses private/no-store by default unless anonymous and
explicitly public-cacheable.
- Added no-store headers to
Builder/dashboard/auth/resource/asset-related responses.
- Updated redirect handling to preserve headers while enforcing
no-store.
- Prevented stale dashboard account data from flashing by applying
user-scoped loader data before paint and clearing stores on teardown.
- Added tests for cache headers, tRPC response metadata, and no-store
redirects.
**Validation**
- `pnpm --filter @webstudio-is/builder test --
app/services/cache-control.server.test.ts
app/services/trpc-response-meta.server.test.ts
app/services/no-store-redirect.test.ts app/routes/rest.assets.test.ts
app/shared/sync/project-queue.test.ts app/dashboard/dashboard.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec oxlint ...` on touched files
- `git diff --check`
`pnpm --filter @webstudio-is/builder typecheck` still fails on existing
unrelated Tailwind/css-engine errors.
## Summary
- Preserve browser-valid CSS math values during CSS value parsing when
`css-tree` can parse the value but cannot fully validate the property
syntax.
- Fix pasted HTML/imported inline styles like nested `clamp()` +
`calc()` font sizes being marked invalid.
- Keep malformed math values and numeric functions in non-numeric
properties invalid.
- Add regression coverage for CSS value parsing and HTML paste/import
behavior.
## Testing
- `pnpm --filter @webstudio-is/css-data test
src/parse-css-value.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @webstudio-is/builder test app/shared/html.test.tsx
app/shared/tailwind/tailwind.test.tsx`
## Notes
This prevents valid pasted CSS math expressions from becoming invalid
style values and crashing the builder on import.
