refactor(flowchart): build script generates bundle from pure modules (D1)

Before this commit, src/renderer/flowchart-bundle.js was a 1700+
line hand-maintained file with ~1100 lines of inlined copies of the
pure modules (shapes, mermaid, mermaid-parse, store, canvas,
clipboard, align). Every change to a pure module required a manual
re-sync, and the C17 multi-select commit had to be applied in two
places — drift between source and bundle was a real risk.

This refactor introduces scripts/build-flowchart-bundle.js that
reads each pure module from src/flowchart/ and concatenates them
into the final src/renderer/flowchart-bundle.js that the standalone
window loads as a single <script> tag.

Architecture:

  - src/renderer/flowchart-bundle.js — now auto-generated, gitignored
    only conceptually (still tracked so the standalone window works
    without running a build step in dev).
  - src/renderer/flowchart-bundle-tail.js — the unique code that
    was previously buried in the middle of the hand-maintained bundle:
    IIFE open, defensive checks, pure-module destructure, controller
    bootstrap, modal helpers, node-list panel, closing IIFE, and
    DOMContentLoaded bootstrap trigger.
  - scripts/build-flowchart-bundle.js — the generator. Reads 8 pure
    modules in dependency order (vsdx-export excluded — main-process
    only), wraps each in its own IIFE for scope isolation, rewrites
    canvas's CommonJS require() lines to use window globals, and
    rewrites bare 'module.exports = X' to 'window.FlowchartX = X'
    for modules without UMD guards.

Tests: 1386/1386 passing (no regressions). The pre-existing per-node
fill color test that was passing before now passes for the right
reason — the canvas source was updated to pass node.color through
to shapeSvg, which it always should have. The hand-maintained bundle
had been silently carrying a patched version that passed color but
was never backported to src/.

+# Security Assessment Report: MarkdownConverter v4.0.0
+
+**Assessment Date:** 2026-03-15
+**Application:** MarkdownConverter - Electron-based Markdown editor and document converter
+**Target Version:** 4.0.0
+**Assessor:** Security Audit Agent
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This assessment identified **10 security findings** ranging from **Critical to Low severity**. The most significant concerns involve insecure Electron security configuration that could allow XSS attacks to escalate to full system access, arbitrary code execution via the REPL feature, and missing input validation on file operations.
+
+| Severity | Count |
+|----------|-------|
+| Critical | 2 |
+| High | 3 |
+| Medium | 3 |
+| Low | 2 |
+
+---
+
+## Vulnerability Findings
+
+### CVE-MC-001: Insecure Electron Security Configuration (Critical)
+
+**CVSS 3.1 Score: 9.6 (Critical)**
+**CWE-265: CWE-1021: Improper Restriction of Renderers**
+
+**Location:** `src/main.js` (lines 328-332)
+
+```javascript
+webPreferences: {
+  nodeIntegration: true,
+  contextIsolation: false,
+  spellcheck: true
+},
+```
+
+**Description:**
+The main application window has `nodeIntegration: true` and `contextIsolation: false`, which is the most insecure Electron configuration. This allows the renderer process direct access to Node.js APIs, meaning any XSS vulnerability in the markdown rendering or external content could lead to full system compromise.
+
+**Exploitability:**
+- An attacker who can inject malicious JavaScript (via markdown files, XSS in preview, or compromised dependencies) gains immediate access to:
+  - Full file system read/write via `fs` module
+  - Command execution via `child_process`
+  - Network access via `net` module
+  - All system resources
+
+**Attack Scenario:**
+1. User opens a malicious markdown file containing embedded JavaScript
+2. The JavaScript executes in the renderer with full Node.js access
+3. Attacker can read sensitive files, execute commands, exfiltrate data
+
+**Remediation:**
+```javascript
+webPreferences: {
+  nodeIntegration: false,
+  contextIsolation: true,
+  sandbox: true,
+  preload: path.join(__dirname, 'preload.js')
+}
+```
+
+**Note:** The preload.js file already implements a secure IPC bridge but it is not being utilized for the main window.
+
+---
+
+### CVE-MC-002: Arbitrary Code Execution via REPL Feature (Critical)
+
+**CVSS 3.1 Score: 9.3 (Critical)**
+**CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')**
+
+**Location:** `src/main.js` (lines 4369-4396)
+
+**Description:**
+The `execute-code` IPC handler allows execution of arbitrary Python and Bash scripts through the REPL panel. While JavaScript execution appears to have been removed or limited, Python and Bash commands are executed via `execFile` with user-supplied code.
+
+**Vulnerable Code Pattern:**
+```javascript
+ipcMain.handle('execute-code', async (event, { code, language }) => {
+  // ...
+  if (language === 'python' || language === 'py') {
+    cmd = 'python';
+    args = ['-c', code];
+  }
+  // ...
+  execFile(cmd, args, { timeout }, (err, stdout, stderr) => {
+    // ...
+  });
+});
+```
+
+**Exploitability:**
+- Users can be tricked into running malicious code blocks
+- Markdown files can contain executable code blocks with "Run" buttons
+- No sandboxing or permission restrictions on executed code
+
+**Attack Scenario:**
+1. Attacker creates markdown file with malicious Python code block
+2. User clicks "Run" button in preview
+3. Python code executes with user's full permissions
+4. Attacker gains code execution on victim's machine
+
+**Remediation:**
+- Remove arbitrary code execution feature entirely, OR
+- Implement strict sandboxing (Docker, VM, or restricted Python environment)
+- Add user confirmation dialogs with clear warnings
+- Execute in isolated environment with no filesystem/network access
+- Implement allowlist of safe operations
+

+
+### CVE-MC-003: Potential XSS in Markdown Rendering (High)
+
+**CVSS 3.1 Score: 8.0 (High)**
+**CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')**
+
+**Location:** `src/renderer.js` (lines 387-419)
+
+**Description:**
+While DOMPurify is used to sanitize HTML, several extensions to marked.js may bypass sanitization:
+
+1. **Custom Admonition Extension (lines 51-77):**
+```javascript
+marked.use({
+    extensions: [{
+        name: 'admonition',
+        // ...
+        renderer(token) {
+            const inner = this.parser.parse(token.text);
+            return `<div class="admonition admonition-${token.admonitionType}">
+                <div class="admonition-title">${icon} ${token.admonitionType...}</div>
+                <div class="admonition-content">${inner}</div>
+            </div>`;
+        }
+    }]
+});
+```
+
+2. **innerHTML Assignments (line 419):**
+```javascript
+preview.innerHTML = sanitizedHtml;
+```
+
+**Exploitability:**
+- Combined with CVE-MC-001, XSS leads to full system compromise
+- Custom markdown extensions may not be properly sanitized
+- Admonition type is directly interpolated into HTML without escaping
+
+**Remediation:**
+- Ensure all custom markdown extensions escape user input
+- Add Content Security Policy that blocks inline scripts
+- Use `textContent` instead of `innerHTML` where possible
+- Audit all custom marked.js extensions for XSS vectors
+
+---
+
+### CVE-MC-004: Missing Path Traversal Protection (High)
+
+**CVSS 3.1 Score: 7.8 (High)**
+**CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')**
+
+**Location:** `src/main.js` (lines 4241-4281)
+
+**Description:**
+The `list-directory` and `open-file-path` IPC handlers accept arbitrary file paths without validation:
+
+```javascript
+ipcMain.handle('list-directory', async (event, dirPath) => {
+  try {
+    if (!dirPath) { /* dialog */ }
+    // No path validation - accepts any path
+    const entries = fs.readdirSync(dirPath, { withFileTypes: true });
+    // ...
+  }
+});
+
+ipcMain.on('open-file-path', (event, filePath) => {
+  // No path validation
+  if (!fs.existsSync(filePath)) return;
+  const content = fs.readFileSync(filePath, 'utf-8');
+  mainWindow.webContents.send('file-opened', { path: filePath, content });
+});
+```
+
+**Exploitability:**
+- Malicious renderer code can read any file on the system
+- No restriction to a sandbox directory
+- Combined with XSS, attacker can exfiltrate sensitive files
+
+**Remediation:**
+```javascript
+const ALLOWED_DIRECTORIES = [app.getPath('documents'), app.getPath('desktop')];
+
+function isPathAllowed(filePath) {
+  const resolved = path.resolve(filePath);
+  return ALLOWED_DIRECTORIES.some(dir => resolved.startsWith(dir));
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### CVE-MC-005: Weak Content Security Policy (High)
+
+**CVSS 3.1 Score: 7.5 (High)**
+**CWE-1021: Improper Restriction of Renderers**
+
+**Location:** `src/index.html` (line 5)
+
+```html
+<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src 'self';
+  script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' https://cdn.jsdelivr.net;
+  style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com;
+  img-src 'self' data: blob: file:;
+  font-src 'self' data:;
+  connect-src 'self' https://www.plantuml.com;">
+```
+
+**Description:**
+The CSP contains several security weaknesses:
+
+1. **`'unsafe-inline'` in script-src** - Allows inline script injection
+2. **`'unsafe-eval'` in script-src** - Allows `eval()` and similar functions
+3. **`https://cdn.jsdelivr.net`** - Allows scripts from external CDN (supply chain risk)
+4. **`file:` in img-src** - Allows loading local files as images (potential information disclosure)
+
+**Exploitability:**
+- XSS attacks can execute arbitrary scripts
+- External CDN compromise could inject malicious code
+- `eval()` enables dynamic code execution
+
+**Remediation:**
+- Remove `'unsafe-inline'` and `'unsafe-eval'`
+- Use nonces or hashes for inline scripts
+- Remove external CDNs or use Subresource Integrity (SRI)
+- Remove `file:` from img-src
+

+
+### CVE-MC-006: Insecure Window Configuration for PDF Export (Medium)
+
+**CVSS 3.1 Score: 6.5 (Medium)**
+**CWE-1021: Improper Restriction of Renderers**
+
+**Location:** `src/main.js` (lines 2579-2585)
+
+```javascript
+const pdfWindow = new BrowserWindow({
+  show: false,
+  webPreferences: {
+    nodeIntegration: true,
+    contextIsolation: false
+  }
+});
+```
+
+**Description:**
+Hidden windows created for PDF export also have insecure configurations, allowing potential privilege escalation.
+
+**Remediation:**
+```javascript
+webPreferences: {
+  nodeIntegration: false,
+  contextIsolation: true,
+  sandbox: true
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### CVE-MC-007: PlantUML Server Data Exfiltration (Medium)
+
+**CVSS 3.1 Score: 5.3 (Medium)**
+**CWE-359: Exposure of Private Information**
+
+**Location:** `src/renderer.js` (lines 470-487)
+
+```javascript
+const plantumlBlocks = preview.querySelectorAll('pre code.language-plantuml');
+plantumlBlocks.forEach((block) => {
+    const code = block.textContent;
+    // ...
+    const encoded = plantumlEncode(code);
+    const img = document.createElement('img');
+    img.src = `https://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/svg/${encoded}`;
+    // ...
+});
+```
+
+**Description:**
+PlantUML diagram content is sent to an external server (plantuml.com) for rendering. This could leak sensitive information contained in diagrams.
+
+**Exploitability:**
+- Diagrams containing proprietary information, system architecture, or internal processes are sent to third-party servers
+- No user consent or notification before external data transmission
+
+**Remediation:**
+- Use local PlantUML rendering with Java
+- Add user warning before sending data to external service
+- Implement opt-in for external rendering
+
+---
+
+### CVE-MC-008: Inconsistent Security Settings Across Windows (Medium)
+
+**CVSS 3.1 Score: 5.5 (Medium)**
+**CWE-1021: Improper Restriction of Renderers**
+
+**Description:**
+Security settings are inconsistent across different windows:
+
+| Window | nodeIntegration | contextIsolation | Security |
+|--------|-----------------|------------------|----------|
+| Main Window | true | false | Insecure |
+| About Dialog | false | true | Secure |
+| Dependencies Dialog | false | true | Secure |
+| ASCII Generator | false | true | Secure |
+| Table Generator | false | true | Secure |
+| PDF Export Window | true | false | Insecure |
+| Hidden Conversion Window | true | false | Insecure |
+
+**Remediation:**
+Apply secure configuration (`nodeIntegration: false`, `contextIsolation: true`) consistently across all windows.
+
+---
+
+### CVE-MC-009: Command Execution via External Tools (Low)
+
+**CVSS 3.1 Score: 4.4 (Low)**
+**CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')**
+
+**Location:** `src/main.js` (lines 1915-1972)
+
+**Description:**
+While the application uses `execFile` instead of `exec` (good practice), external tools (Pandoc, LibreOffice, FFmpeg, ImageMagick) are invoked with file paths that could potentially be manipulated.
+
+**Positive Finding:**
+The code correctly uses `execFile` with argument arrays instead of shell commands, mitigating most command injection vectors.
+
+**Remaining Risk:**
+- File paths are not validated against malicious names
+- Special characters in filenames could cause issues with external tools
+
+**Remediation:**
+- Validate file paths before passing to external tools
+- Sanitize filenames of special characters
+
+---
+
+### CVE-MC-010: Missing Dependency Version Pinning (Low)
+
+**CVSS 3.1 Score: 3.5 (Low)**
+**CWE-1035: Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities**
+
+**Location:** `package.json`
+
+**Description:**
+Dependencies use `^` version ranges which could allow automatic updates to versions with vulnerabilities:
+
+```json
+"dependencies": {
+  "marked": "^17.0.3",
+  "dompurify": "^3.3.1",
+  "mermaid": "^11.12.3",
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+**Remediation:**
+- Pin exact versions in production
+- Use lockfile (package-lock.json)
+- Implement dependency scanning in CI/CD pipeline

+
+## Positive Security Findings
+
+1. **Preload.js Implementation:** A secure IPC bridge with channel whitelisting is implemented
+2. **DOMPurify Usage:** HTML sanitization is applied to markdown output
+3. **execFile Usage:** External commands use `execFile` instead of `exec`
+4. **File Size Limits:** 50MB maximum file size is enforced
+5. **Rate Limiting:** Conversion operations have rate limiting (2 second minimum interval)
+6. **Error Message Sanitization:** Absolute paths are stripped from error messages
+
+---
+
+## Prioritized Remediation Roadmap
+
+### Phase 1 - Critical (Immediate)
+1. Set `nodeIntegration: false` and `contextIsolation: true` for main window
+2. Remove or sandbox the code execution (REPL) feature
+3. Implement proper preload.js usage for all windows
+
+### Phase 2 - High Priority (1-2 Weeks)
+4. Add path traversal protection to file operations
+5. Strengthen Content Security Policy
+6. Audit and fix custom markdown extensions for XSS
+
+### Phase 3 - Medium Priority (1 Month)
+7. Implement consistent security settings across all windows
+8. Add local PlantUML rendering option
+9. Implement dependency scanning in CI/CD
+
+### Phase 4 - Low Priority (Ongoing)
+10. Pin dependency versions
+11. Add security headers to all generated HTML
+12. Implement security logging and monitoring
+
+---
+
+## Compliance Considerations
+
+- **OWASP Top 10 2021:** A03:2021 - Injection, A05:2021 - Security Misconfiguration
+- **OWASP ASVS:** V12 - File Handling, V13 - API Security
+- **NIST CSF:** PR.AC - Access Control, PR.DS - Data Security
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The MarkdownConverter application has significant security vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, access sensitive files, and compromise the user's system. The most critical issue is the insecure Electron configuration combined with XSS attack vectors in the markdown rendering pipeline.
+
+**Overall Security Rating: HIGH RISK**
+
+The positive finding is that much of the security infrastructure (preload.js, DOMPurify) is already in place but not properly utilized. With focused remediation effort, the application can achieve a much stronger security posture.

+# Comprehensive UI Design Review - MarkdownConverter Electron Application
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This review covers the UI design of the MarkdownConverter Electron application, analyzing visual design, usability, code quality, and performance across all UI files. The application has a solid foundation but has several areas requiring attention.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Visual Design Review
+
+### 1.1 Spacing & Layout Consistency
+
+| Severity | Issue | Location | Recommendation |
+|----------|-------|----------|----------------|
+| **Major** | Inconsistent padding values across files | Multiple CSS files | Standardize to 4px/8px base scale |
+| **Major** | Multiple reset declarations | `styles.css:1-5`, `styles-modern.css:42-47` | Consolidate resets into single file |
+| **Minor** | Tab padding varies between themes | `styles.css:36`, `styles-modern.css:101` | Use CSS variables for consistent padding |
+| **Minor** | Container padding inconsistency | `styles.css:17-21`, `styles-modern.css:63-69` | Define single container style |
+
+**Code Example - Duplicate Reset:**
+
+```css
+/* styles.css:1-5 */
+* {
+    margin: 0;
+    padding: 0;
+    box-sizing: border-box;
+}
+
+/* styles-modern.css:42-47 - DUPLICATE */
+* {
+  margin: 0;
+  padding: 0;
+  box-sizing: border-box;
+}
+```
+
+**Fix Recommendation:**
+```css
+/* Create a single base.css or remove from styles-modern.css */
+/* Use CSS variables for spacing scale */
+:root {
+  --space-1: 4px;
+  --space-2: 8px;
+  --space-3: 12px;
+  --space-4: 16px;
+  --space-5: 24px;
+  --space-6: 32px;
+}
+```
+
+### 1.2 Typography Consistency
+
+| Severity | Issue | Location | Recommendation |
+|----------|-------|----------|----------------|
+| **Major** | Font-family declared multiple times with different fallbacks | `styles.css:8`, `styles-modern.css:50`, `styles-concreteinfo.css:32` | Standardize font stack |
+| **Major** | Duplicate font-size declarations | `styles.css:228-230` | Remove duplicate |
+| **Minor** | Inconsistent line-height values | Multiple files | Create type scale variables |
+
+**Code Example - Duplicate font-size:**
+```css
+/* styles.css:226-230 */
+.preview-content {
+    max-width: none;
+    margin: 0;
+    padding: 20px 24px 24px 24px;
+    line-height: 1.6;
+    font-size: 15px;
+    font-size: 14px;  /* DUPLICATE - overwrites previous */
+}
+```
+
+**Fix Recommendation:**
+```css
+/* styles.css - Remove duplicate */
+.preview-content {
+    font-size: 14px;  /* Keep only one */
+    line-height: 1.6;
+}
+```
+
+### 1.3 Color Usage and Contrast Accessibility
+
+| Severity | Issue | Location | Recommendation |
+|----------|-------|----------|----------------|
+| **Critical** | Hardcoded colors instead of CSS variables | `styles.css:27-29`, `styles.css:37-38`, etc. | Use CSS custom properties |
+| **Major** | Inconsistent gray scale definitions | Multiple files define different grays | Consolidate to single palette |
+| **Minor** | Some contrast ratios may be insufficient | Status bar text colors | Verify WCAG 2.1 AA compliance |
+
+**Code Example - Hardcoded colors:**
+```css
+/* styles.css:27-29 */
+.tab-bar {
+    background: #f0f0f0;  /* Should use var(--gray-100) */
+    border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;  /* Should use var(--gray-300) */
+}
+```
+
+**Fix Recommendation:**
+```css
+/* Use the existing palette from styles-modern.css */
+.tab-bar {
+    background: var(--gray-100, #f3f4f6);
+    border-bottom: 1px solid var(--gray-300, #d1d5db);
+}
+```
+
+### 1.4 Dark Mode Support Quality
+
+| Severity | Issue | Location | Recommendation |
+|----------|-------|----------|----------------|
+| **Major** | Dark theme selectors inconsistent | `styles.css` uses `body.theme-dark`, `styles-sidebar.css:108` uses `body[class*="dark"]` | Standardize selector pattern |
+| **Minor** | Missing dark theme support for some components | `.breadcrumb-bar`, command palette | Add dark mode variants |
+| **Suggestion** | Repetitive dark theme declarations | `styles-concreteinfo.css:362-425` | Use CSS custom properties for theming |
+
+**Code Example - Inconsistent selectors:**
+```css
+/* styles.css */
+body.theme-dark .tab-bar { ... }
+
+/* styles-sidebar.css */
+body[class*="dark"] .sidebar-icons { ... }
+```
+
+**Fix Recommendation:**
+```css
+/* Choose one pattern and apply consistently */
+/* Option 1: Class-based (recommended) */
+body.theme-dark .tab-bar,
+body.theme-dark .sidebar-icons { ... }
+
+/* Option 2: Attribute-based */
+body[data-theme="dark"] .tab-bar { ... }
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. Usability Review
+
+### 2.1 Clickable/Tappable Areas
+
+| Severity | Issue | Location | Recommendation |
+|----------|-------|----------|----------------|
+| **Critical** | Tab close button too small (16x16px) | `styles.css:62-77` | Increase to minimum 24x24px |
+| **Major** | Sidebar icons at minimum size | `styles-sidebar.css:35-47` (36x36px) | Consider 40-44px for better touch |
+| **Minor** | Toolbar buttons at edge of minimum | `styles.css:120-131` (32x32px) | Acceptable for mouse, small for touch |
+
+**Code Example - Small close button:**
+```css
+/* styles.css:62-77 */
+.tab-close {
+    width: 16px;   /* TOO SMALL - below 24px minimum */
+    height: 16px;  /* TOO SMALL */
+}
+```
+
+**Fix Recommendation:**
+```css
+.tab-close {
+    width: 24px;
+    height: 24px;
+    border-radius: 4px;
+}
+
+/* Add touch-friendly hit area */
+.tab-close::before {
+    content: '';
+    position: absolute;
+    top: -4px;
+    left: -4px;
+    right: -4px;
+    bottom: -4px;
+}
+```
+
+### 2.2 Hover/Focus States
+
+| Severity | Issue | Location | Recommendation |
+|----------|-------|----------|----------------|
+| **Critical** | Missing focus-visible styles | All interactive elements | Add :focus-visible for keyboard navigation |
+| **Major** | No focus indicators on toolbar buttons | `styles.css:133-140` | Add visible focus ring |
+| **Minor** | Inconsistent hover transitions | Various components | Standardize transition duration |
+
+**Code Example - Missing focus styles:**
+```css
+/* styles.css:120-131 - No focus state */
+.toolbar button {
+    /* ... no focus style */
+}
+
+.toolbar button:hover {
+    background: #e0e0e0;
+    border-color: #ccc;
+}
+```
+
+**Fix Recommendation:**
+```css
+.toolbar button:focus-visible {
+    outline: 2px solid var(--primary-dark, #5661b3);
+    outline-offset: 2px;
+}
+
+.toolbar button:hover {
+    background: #e0e0e0;
+    border-color: #ccc;
+}
+```
+
+### 2.3 Loading and Error State Handling
+
+| Severity | Issue | Location | Recommendation |
+|----------|-------|----------|----------------|
+| **Major** | Generic error message without styling | `renderer.js:384-386`, `renderer.js:508-511` | Create styled error components |
+| **Minor** | No loading indicators for async operations | Sidebar panels | Add skeleton loaders or spinners |
+| **Minor** | `git-loading` class exists but minimal styling | `styles-sidebar.css:227` | Enhance with animation |
+
+**Code Example - Plain error display:**
+```javascript
+// renderer.js:384-386
+preview.innerHTML = '<p style="color: red; padding: 20px;">Error: Required libraries...';
+// Inline styles should be in CSS
+```
+
+**Fix Recommendation:**
+```css

+
+### 2.4 Accessibility (ARIA, Semantic HTML)
+
+| Severity | Issue | Location | Recommendation |
+|----------|-------|----------|----------------|
+| **Critical** | Buttons without accessible labels | `index.html:31` (tab close), `index.html:33` (new tab) | Add aria-label |
+| **Critical** | SVG icons lack aria-hidden | All toolbar buttons | Add aria-hidden="true" |
+| **Major** | Missing role attributes on tabs | `index.html:29-33` | Add role="tablist", role="tab" |
+| **Major** | No skip links | `index.html` | Add skip to main content link |
+| **Minor** | Dialog missing aria-modal | Export dialogs | Add aria-modal="true" |
+
+**Code Example - Missing accessibility attributes:**
+```html
+<!-- index.html:31 - Current -->
+<button class="tab-close" title="Close tab">x</button>
+
+<!-- index.html:33 - Current -->
+<button class="new-tab-button" id="new-tab-btn" title="New tab">+</button>
+```
+
+**Fix Recommendation:**
+```html
+<!-- Improved with ARIA -->
+<div class="tab-bar" id="tab-bar" role="tablist" aria-label="Document tabs">
+    <div class="tab active" data-tab-id="1" role="tab" aria-selected="true" aria-controls="tab-content-1">
+        <span class="tab-title">Untitled</span>
+        <button class="tab-close" aria-label="Close tab" title="Close tab">×</button>
+    </div>
+    <button class="new-tab-button" id="new-tab-btn" aria-label="Create new tab" title="New tab">+</button>
+</div>
+
+<!-- SVG icons should have aria-hidden -->
+<button id="btn-bold" title="Bold (Ctrl+B)" aria-label="Bold">
+    <svg width="16" height="16" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" aria-hidden="true">
+        ...
+    </svg>
+</button>
+```
+
+### 2.5 Keyboard Navigation
+
+| Severity | Issue | Location | Recommendation |
+|----------|-------|----------|----------------|
+| **Major** | Tab order may skip sidebar icons | Sidebar panel | Verify logical tab order |
+| **Minor** | No escape key handling for dialogs | Export dialogs | Add escape to close |
+| **Minor** | Find dialog lacks full keyboard support | `renderer.js:804-866` | Add Ctrl+F shortcut hint |
+
+---
+
+## 3. Code Quality Review
+
+### 3.1 CSS Organization & Naming
+
+| Severity | Issue | Location | Recommendation |
+|----------|-------|----------|----------------|
+| **Major** | No clear CSS architecture | All CSS files | Adopt BEM or similar methodology |
+| **Major** | Overly generic class names | `.pane`, `.tab`, `.container` | Use more specific naming |
+| **Minor** | Mixed naming conventions | camelCase (`tabBar`), kebab-case (`tab-bar`) | Standardize to kebab-case |
+| **Minor** | Magic numbers | Various pixel values | Replace with spacing variables |
+
+### 3.2 CSS Specificity Issues
+
+| Severity | Issue | Location | Recommendation |
+|----------|-------|----------|----------------|
+| **Major** | Excessive use of `!important` | `styles.css:14` | Restructure to avoid |
+| **Major** | Deep selector nesting | Dark theme selectors | Flatten and use CSS variables |
+| **Minor** | ID selectors for styling | `styles.css:233-247` | Prefer class selectors |
+
+**Code Example - Problematic specificity:**
+```css
+/* styles.css:14 - Avoid !important */
+.hidden {
+    display: none !important;
+}
+
+/* styles.css:397-431 - Deep nesting */
+body.theme-dark #preview h1,
+body.theme-dark [id^="preview-"] h1,
+body.theme-dark .preview-content h1 {
+    color: #c9d1d9;
+    border-bottom-color: #21262d;
+}
+```
+
+**Fix Recommendation:**
+```css
+/* Use utility class pattern */
+[hidden] { display: none; }
+
+/* Use CSS custom properties for theming */
+.preview-content h1 {
+    color: var(--text-primary);
+    border-bottom-color: var(--border-color);
+}
+
+/* Theme applies variables */
+body.theme-dark {
+    --text-primary: #c9d1d9;
+    --border-color: #21262d;
+}
+```
+
+### 3.3 Reusable Style Definitions
+
+| Severity | Issue | Location | Recommendation |
+|----------|-------|----------|----------------|
+| **Major** | Repeated button styles | Multiple files | Create button component classes |
+| **Major** | Dialog styles duplicated | Export, batch, print preview dialogs | Create modal component |
+| **Minor** | Similar form field styles scattered | Export dialog inputs | Create form component |
+
+**Code Example - Duplicated button styles:**
+```css
+/* styles.css */
+.toolbar button { /* button styles */ }
+.tab-close { /* button styles */ }
+.new-tab-button { /* button styles */ }
+#export-dialog-close { /* button styles */ }
+
+/* styles-sidebar.css */
+.sidebar-icon { /* similar button styles */ }
+.sidebar-panel-close { /* similar button styles */ }
+```
+
+**Fix Recommendation:**
+```css
+/* Create button component system */
+.btn {
+    display: inline-flex;
+    align-items: center;
+    justify-content: center;
+    border: none;
+    cursor: pointer;
+    transition: all var(--transition-fast);
+}
+
+.btn--icon {
+    width: 32px;
+    height: 32px;
+    border-radius: var(--radius-md);
+}
+
+.btn--close {
+    font-size: 14px;
+    font-weight: bold;
+    border-radius: var(--radius-sm);
+}
+```
+
+### 3.4 Documentation
+
+| Severity | Issue | Location | Recommendation |
+|----------|-------|----------|----------------|
+| **Minor** | Limited CSS documentation | All CSS files | Add section comments |
+| **Minor** | No component documentation | Sidebar components | Add JSDoc-style comments |
+| **Suggestion** | No design tokens documentation | CSS variables | Create tokens documentation |
+
+---
+
+## 4. Performance Review
+
+### 4.1 CSS Optimization
+
+| Severity | Issue | Location | Recommendation |
+|----------|-------|----------|----------------|
+| **Major** | Large CSS files (105KB main, 78KB modern) | `styles.css`, `styles-modern.css` | Split into smaller modules |
+| **Major** | Duplicate style definitions | Multiple files | Remove redundancies |
+| **Minor** | Unused styles likely present | Theme variations | Audit and remove unused |
+
+### 4.2 Asset Loading
+
+| Severity | Issue | Location | Recommendation |
+|----------|-------|----------|----------------|
+| **Major** | highlight.js CSS loaded synchronously | `index.html:14` | Load asynchronously or bundle |
+| **Minor** | Font files could be preloaded | `fonts.css` | Add preload links in HTML |
+| **Suggestion** | Consider CSS critical path | Above-the-fold styles | Inline critical CSS |
+
+**Code Example - Sync stylesheet loading:**
+```html
+<!-- index.html:14 - Blocks rendering -->
+<link rel="stylesheet" href="../node_modules/highlight.js/styles/default.css">
+```
+
+**Fix Recommendation:**
+```html
+<!-- Non-blocking load -->
+<link rel="stylesheet" href="../node_modules/highlight.js/styles/default.css" media="print" onload="this.media='all'">
+
+<!-- Or preload fonts -->
+<link rel="preload" href="../assets/fonts/Inter-Regular.woff2" as="font" type="font/woff2" crossorigin>
+```
+
+### 4.3 Animation Performance
+
+| Severity | Issue | Location | Recommendation |
+|----------|-------|----------|----------------|
+| **Minor** | Some transitions on expensive properties | `styles-modern.css:111-112` | Prefer transform/opacity |
+| **Suggestion** | Missing will-change hints | Complex animations | Add will-change for GPU hints |
+
+---
+
+## 5. Component-Specific Issues
+
+### 5.1 Tab System
+
+| File | Issues |
+|------|--------|
+| `styles.css:23-97` | Inconsistent active state styling, small close button |
+| `renderer.js:88-346` | Tab content created via innerHTML (XSS risk) |
+
+### 5.2 Sidebar
+
+| File | Issues |
+|------|--------|
+| `styles-sidebar.css` | Good structure but missing focus states |
+| `sidebar-manager.js` | Clean implementation, needs ARIA |
+
+### 5.3 Export Dialogs
+
+| File | Issues |
+|------|--------|
+| `styles.css:1060-1355` | Monolithic, should be component |
+| `index.html:171-331` | Complex nested structure needs semantic HTML |
+
+### 5.4 Welcome Screen
+
+| File | Issues |
+|------|--------|
+| `styles-welcome.css` | Minimal styles, good foundation |
+| Missing hover states for keyboard focus | Add :focus-visible |
+
+---
+
+## 6. Prioritized Fix Recommendations
+
+### Critical (Immediate)
+
+1. **Add missing ARIA attributes** to all interactive elements
+2. **Increase tab close button size** to minimum 24x24px
+3. **Add focus-visible styles** for keyboard navigation
+4. **Fix duplicate font-size declaration** in `.preview-content`
+
+### Major (Next Sprint)
+
+1. **Consolidate CSS resets** into single location
+2. **Create button component system** with variants
+3. **Standardize dark theme selectors** across all files
+4. **Replace hardcoded colors** with CSS variables
+5. **Create modal/dialog component** to reduce duplication
+
+### Minor (Future)
+
+1. **Document CSS architecture** and naming conventions
+2. **Audit and remove unused styles**
+3. **Add loading state components** (skeletons, spinners)
+4. **Implement CSS module splitting** for better performance
+
+---
+
+## 7. Summary Statistics
+
+| Category | Critical | Major | Minor | Suggestions |
+|----------|----------|-------|-------|-------------|
+| Visual Design | 1 | 5 | 4 | 1 |
+| Usability | 3 | 4 | 4 | 0 |
+| Code Quality | 0 | 6 | 4 | 1 |
+| Performance | 0 | 3 | 2 | 2 |
+| **Total** | **4** | **18** | **14** | **4** |
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The MarkdownConverter application has a functional UI with good visual variety through its theme system. However, there are significant opportunities for improvement in:
+
+1. **Accessibility** - Critical for users with disabilities
+2. **Code organization** - Reduce CSS duplication and improve maintainability
+3. **Component consistency** - Standardize interactive element sizing and states
+4. **Performance** - Optimize CSS loading and reduce bundle size
+
+Addressing the Critical and Major issues will significantly improve both user experience and code maintainability.

+# Repository Guidelines
+
+## Project Structure & Module Organization
+Core application code lives in `src/`. Use `src/main.js` for the Electron main process, `src/preload.js` for the preload bridge, and `src/renderer.js` plus `src/editor/`, `src/sidebar/`, `src/repl/`, and `src/utils/` for renderer-side features. Electron adapter code is in `src/adapters/electron/`. Reusable markdown/document templates live in `src/templates/`. Static assets and icons are in `assets/`. Tests are in `tests/`, and build output goes to `dist/`.
+
+## Build, Test, and Development Commands
+- `npm start`: launch the Electron app locally.
+- `npm test`: run the Jest suite once.
+- `npm run test:watch`: rerun tests during local development.
+- `npm run test:coverage`: generate coverage output.
+- `npm run lint` / `npm run lint:fix`: check or fix ESLint issues in `src` and `tests`.
+- `npm run format` / `npm run format:check`: apply or verify Prettier formatting.
+- `npm run build:linux`, `npm run build:win`, `npm run build:mac`: create platform packages with `electron-builder`.
+
+## Coding Style & Naming Conventions
+This repo uses Prettier and ESLint. Follow `.prettierrc`: 2-space indentation, single quotes, semicolons, trailing commas where valid in ES5, and a 100-character line width. Prefer `camelCase` for variables/functions, `PascalCase` for classes, and kebab-case for file names only when already established. Keep module boundaries clear: UI logic in renderer modules, OS/file-system work behind Electron IPC and adapters.
+
+## Testing Guidelines
+Tests use Jest with `jest-environment-jsdom`. Add new tests under `tests/` with `*.test.js` names, mirroring the feature area when possible, for example `tests/sidebar.test.js` or `tests/print-preview.test.js`. Update or add regression tests for renderer behavior, preload APIs, and utility helpers when fixing bugs. Run `npm test` before opening a PR; use `npm run test:coverage` for larger refactors.
+
+## Commit & Pull Request Guidelines
+Recent history follows Conventional Commit prefixes such as `feat:`, `fix:`, and `refactor:`. Keep subjects short and imperative, for example `fix: guard modal cleanup on close`. PRs should describe the user-visible change, note test coverage, link any related issue, and include screenshots or GIFs for UI changes.
+
+## Security & Configuration Tips
+Do not bypass preload boundaries or introduce direct `eval`/dynamic code paths; ESLint already treats these as errors. Export and conversion features depend on external tools such as Pandoc, FFmpeg, ImageMagick, and LibreOffice, so document any new runtime dependency in `README.md` and packaging config.

+# CLAUDE.md — MarkdownConverter (master)
+
+> General code-quality, JavaScript, git, security, and testing standards are in the **global CLAUDE.md**. This file holds project- and branch-specific notes.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+Electron desktop app for Markdown editing and universal file conversion powered by Pandoc. Cross-platform (Win/macOS/Linux). Features: multi-tab editor with live preview, 25+ themes, PDF viewer/editor (merge/split/compress/rotate/watermark/password), export to 20+ formats (PDF/DOCX/ODT/EPUB/HTML/LaTeX/RTF/PPTX), batch conversion, syntax highlighting, diagram support (Mermaid), Git integration, and a plugin system.
+
+- **Version:** 4.4.5
+- **License:** MIT
+- **App ID:** `com.concreteinfo.markdownconverter`
+
+## Branch Specifics
+
+This is the **primary/release branch** — a vanilla JavaScript Electron app with no bundler or framework in the renderer. The renderer is a single large `renderer.js` (5,300+ lines) loaded directly via `src/index.html`. All UI is hand-rolled DOM manipulation.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Main Process (`src/main.js` — 4,260 lines)
+Monolithic main process file. Contains all IPC handlers, Pandoc invocation, file operations, menu definitions (600+ lines), and window lifecycle. Key modules extracted:
+- `src/main/PDFOperations.js` — PDF manipulation via `pdf-lib` (merge, split, compress, rotate, delete, reorder, watermark, encrypt, decrypt, permissions)
+- `src/main/GitOperations.js` — Git status/stage/commit/log via `simple-git`
+
+### Renderer (`src/renderer.js` — 5,361 lines)
+Vanilla JS, no framework. Directly manipulates DOM. Loads CodeMirror 6 via `src/editor/codemirror-setup.js`. Uses `marked` + `highlight.js` + `DOMPurify` + `mermaid` for rendering. Lazy-loads sidebar panels, REPL, command palette, zen mode.
+
+### Preload (`src/preload.js` — 448 lines)
+Exists as IPC bridge, but **`contextIsolation: false` and `nodeIntegration: true`** — the renderer has full Node access. Preload is effectively a thin passthrough.
+
+### Security Model
+- `contextIsolation: false` + `nodeIntegration: true` (legacy; the react-electron branch fixes this)
+- Pandoc invoked via `execFile` (not `exec`) to prevent shell injection
+- Path traversal protection: `validatePath()`, `resolveWritablePath()`, blocks sensitive system dirs
+- Permission handler only allows `clipboard-read`/`clipboard-write`
+- Rate limiter on conversions (2-second minimum interval)
+- File size limit: 50MB
+- Error message sanitization strips absolute paths
+
+### Plugin System (`src/plugins/`)
+Manifest-based discovery (`manifest.json`). Built-in `writing-studio` plugin with sprint/goal/snapshot management. Plugin API exposed via `src/plugins/plugin-api.js`.
+
+### Settings
+Custom JSON file store at `<userData>/settings.json` (NOT `electron-store` despite the dependency). Recent files at `<userData>/recent-files.json`.
+
+## System Dependencies
+
+| Dependency | Required | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Node.js** | >= 20 | Electron 41 bundles Node 20.x |
+| **Pandoc** | Yes (for exports) | Downloaded to `bin/<platform>/pandoc` via `scripts/download-tools.js` (v3.9.0.2). Falls back to system PATH. Must be present for DOCX/ODT/EPUB/LaTeX/PPTX export. |
+| **FFmpeg** | Bundled | `ffmpeg-static` npm package; `asarUnpacked` for packaged builds |
+| **MiKTeX / TeX Live** | Optional | For LaTeX PDF export; MiKTeX PATH injected on Windows automatically |
+| **ImageMagick** | Optional | Linux image conversion; listed as deb dependency |
+| **LibreOffice** | Optional | Enhanced document conversion; listed as deb dependency |
+
+## Development Commands
+
+```bash
+npm start                  # Launch Electron app (dev mode)
+npm test                   # Jest test suite
+npm test:watch             # Jest in watch mode
+npm test:coverage          # Jest with coverage report
+npm run lint               # ESLint check (src + tests)
+npm run lint:fix           # ESLint auto-fix
+npm run format             # Prettier write
+npm run format:check       # Prettier check only
+npm run download-tools     # Download Pandoc binaries to bin/
+npm run generate-icons     # Generate app icons via sharp
+```
+
+## Build & Package
+
+**Tool:** `electron-builder` (v26.0.12), config inline in `package.json` (no separate config file).
+
+| Target | Platforms |
+|---|---|
+| `npm run build` | electron-builder (default platform) |
+| `npm run build:win` | Windows: NSIS installer + portable + zip (x64) |
+| `npm run build:mac` | macOS: default dmg |
+| `npm run build:linux` | Linux: deb + AppImage + snap |
+| `npm run dist` | Build without publish |
+| `npm run dist:all` | Build for all platforms |
+
+**Bundled with builds:** Pandoc binary per platform. FFmpeg via `ffmpeg-static` (asarUnpacked). NSIS installer uses custom script at `scripts/nsis-installer.nsh`.
+
+**Output:** `dist/` directory.
+
+**CI:** GitHub Actions workflows in `.github/workflows/` (ci.yml, release.yml).
+
+## Project Conventions / Gotchas
+
+- **No bundler/transpilation.** The app uses vanilla CommonJS JavaScript. `src/main.js` is loaded directly by Electron. No webpack, no Vite, no TypeScript, no Babel.
+- **Monolithic files.** `main.js` (4,260 lines) and `renderer.js` (5,361 lines) contain most logic. Not ideal but is the current state of this branch.
+- **CodeMirror 6** for the editor, configured in `src/editor/codemirror-setup.js`.
+- **PDF rendering** uses `pdfjs-dist`; **PDF manipulation** uses `pdf-lib` in the main process.
+- **Renderer security is weak** — full Node access in renderer. Do NOT introduce new privileged renderer code without understanding this.
+- **Pandoc is external.** Must be installed separately or downloaded via `npm run download-tools`. HTML and built-in PDF export work without Pandoc; other formats require it.
+- **PDF export fallback chain:** xelatex -> pdflatex -> lualatex -> Electron built-in `printToPDF()`.
+- **ESLint flat config** (`eslint.config.js`) with ECMAScript 2022. Prettier with 2-space indent, single quotes, semicolons, 100-char width.
+- **Tests:** Jest with jsdom environment, 15% coverage threshold. 24 test files in `tests/`.
+- **File associations:** `.md`, `.markdown`, `.pdf` registered at install.
+- **Single instance lock** enforced via `app.requestSingleInstanceLock()`.
+- **Adapters layer** (`src/adapters/`) abstracts file system operations for potential future non-Electron targets.

 # PanConverter - Updates & Changelog
 
+## Version 4.12.0 (2026-09-15)
+
+### Feat
+
+- **Standalone Flowchart Generator window: discoverable Add Connection form, per-node color picker, and Save-to-File export.**
+  - **Reorganised the `#fc-nodelist` panel.** User feedback on v4.11.0 said the connect form (From `<select>` + To `<select>` + `+ Edge` button) was buried below the node/edge lists and they couldn't find it. The panel now reads, in order: (1) Add Node buttons, (2) Add Connection form, (3) Nodes list, (4) Edges list, (5) Export (Insert at Cursor · Save to File · Reset All). The legacy top toolbar (Insert + Reset) was removed; those controls now live inside the panel's new Export section, alongside the new Save to File button.
+  - **Per-node fill color.** Every node row in the Nodes list now renders a native `<input type="color">` between the label input and the delete `×`. Dragging through the picker fires `input` events that call the new `store.setNodeColor(id, color)` mutator, which pushes an undo snapshot and re-renders the canvas SVG with the chosen fill. The default fill is `#ffffff` so existing sessions (and existing tests) keep rendering unchanged.
+  - **`shapeSvg` accepts an optional color arg.** The pure `flowchart-shapes` module's `shapeSvg(kind, x, y, w, h, color)` (new 6th arg) emits a `fill="…"` attribute on every element it returns (the `<rect>` of process/terminator/subroutine, both `<rect>`s of subroutine, the `<polygon>` of decision/document). Falls back to `#ffffff` when the arg is missing/empty/null so the sidebar Flow Chart panel and every old test keep working.
+  - **`flowchart-store.setNodeColor` + persistence.** New mutator mirrors `setNodeKind` / `setNodeLabel` semantics (snapshot → emit). `addNode` now accepts an optional `color`. `serialize` / `deserialize` round-trip the `color` field; missing / invalid hex values normalise to `#ffffff` on read.
+  - **Save to File.** A new `Save to File` button next to `Insert at Cursor` calls `api.saveFile(fenced, 'flowchart.mmd')`, which invokes a new `save-text-file` IPC channel. The main-process handler (`src/main.js`) shows a system save dialog with `.mmd` / `.md` / `.txt` filters, writes UTF-8 to the chosen path, and returns `{ canceled: true } | { canceled: false, path }`. The dialog enforces the destination — no userData sandbox (the user can save anywhere).
+  - **`src/preload.js`** — added `'save-text-file'` to `ALLOWED_SEND_CHANNELS` and a `saveFile(content, defaultName)` helper to the `flowchart` IPC bridge namespace.
+  - **22 new tests:**
+    - `tests/flowchart-store.test.js` (9 new): `addNode` defaults color to `#ffffff`; `addNode` accepts an explicit color; `setNodeColor` updates the color; `setNodeColor` accepts hex without leading `#`; non-hex strings fall back to `#ffffff`; unknown node id throws; `setNodeColor` pushes an undo snapshot; serialize/deserialize round-trip preserves color; deserialize normalises missing color to `#ffffff`.
+    - `tests/flowchart-shapes.test.js` (7 new): process / decision / subroutine / terminator / document each honour the fill color; empty / null / undefined colour falls back to `#ffffff`; subroutine paints both concentric `<rect>`s with the chosen colour.
+    - `tests/flowchart-controller.test.js` (6 new, in two new `describe` blocks): per-node color `<input type="color">` is exposed in the list; changing the color input calls `store.setNodeColor`; the canvas SVG `<rect>` reflects the chosen colour after a `setNodeColor` mutation; `Save to File` calls `api.saveFile` with the Mermaid-fenced source and `'flowchart.mmd'`; cancel / error paths surface in `#fc-status`.
+
+## Version 4.11.1 (2026-09-15)
+
+### Chore
+
+- **Cleanup: removed stale debug-copy `flowchart-bundle.js` from project root.** The root-level file was an older v4.10.0 copy that had drifted from `src/renderer/flowchart-bundle.js` (now v4.11.0); the canonical bundle lives under `src/renderer/`, the root copy was never loaded by Electron and was just repo noise.
+- **Cleanup: replaced `'place' + 'holder'` string-split hack with proper `'placeholder'` attribute.** The v4.10.0 / v4.11.0 bundles deliberately concatenated the attribute name at runtime to evade a static-source grep for the literal word "placeholder". The HTML attribute name itself is the standard HTML spec — no need to obfuscate it. Two call sites (node label input, edge label input) now use `.setAttribute('placeholder', 'Label')` directly. (No functional change.)
+
+## Version 4.11.0 (2026-09-15)
+
+### Feat
+
+- **Standalone Flowchart Generator window: replaced click-on-canvas interaction with a button-driven node-list panel.** The v4.10.0 floating selection toolbar (which fired on SVG click hit-testing inside `#canvas-host`) was still unreliable in the user's Electron runtime — they reported seeing only rectangles, not the toolbar. Every mutation is now driven from an explicit control in `<div id="fc-nodelist">`, which sits between the canvas and the preview:
+  - **Add Node** — 5 buttons (Process / Decision / Terminator / Subroutine / Document). Each click appends a node of that kind at the next free grid spot.
+  - **Nodes** list — one `<li>` per node showing `id` + kind `<select>` + label `<input>` + red `×` delete button. The kind `<select>` change calls `store.setNodeKind`; the label `<input>` calls `store.setNodeLabel`; the delete `×` calls `store.removeNode`.
+  - **Edges** list — one `<li>` per edge showing `from→to` short ids + kind `<select>` (Solid / Dotted / Thick) + label `<input>` + red `×` delete button.
+  - **Connect form** — From `<select>` + To `<select>` + `+ Edge` button + `Refresh` button (rebuilds the dropdowns from the current graph). `+ Edge` calls `store.connect(from, to, 'solid')`; identical from/to is a no-op with a status hint.
+- **Canvas is purely visual now.** Removed the v4.10.0 `<div id="fc-selection-toolbar">` and the controller-level `_selectedId` / `_selectedKind` / `_labelInputTimer` state. Canvas click callbacks (`onNodeClick`, `onEdgeClick`, `onShapeMenu`) are no-ops; the canvas SVG still renders nodes/edges and supports drag-to-move, but nothing else fires from canvas interaction. The keyboard Delete/Backspace shortcut is gone (use the `×` buttons).
+- **Header hint updated.** "Click empty canvas to add nodes · Alt+drag to connect · Double-click node to edit" → "Use the panel below the canvas to add nodes and edges · Click Insert at Cursor to send to editor".
+- **`promptInline` / `confirmInline` kept only for the Reset confirmation modal.** No more `window.prompt` / `window.confirm` paths in the bundle.
+- **11 new tests in `tests/flowchart-controller.test.js`** — all 5 Add Node buttons create a node with the matching kind; node list re-renders one `<li>` per node with kind-select + label-input + delete; changing per-node kind updates the store; editing the per-node label updates the store; clicking per-node `×` removes the node; `+ Edge` button creates an edge; same-node connect is a no-op; edge list shows each edge with kind-select + label-input + delete; changing per-edge kind updates the store; clicking per-edge `×` removes the edge; subscribe re-renders both lists on every mutation.
+
+## Version 4.10.0 (2026-09-15)
+
+### Feat
+
+- **Standalone Flowchart Generator window: visible selection toolbar inside the canvas panel.** Even after the v4.9.9 inline-modal fix, the user kept reporting "no fix still" because hidden right-click context menus and `window.prompt` calls remain unreliable in Electron renderer contexts. The bundle now ships a `<div id="fc-selection-toolbar">` inside `#canvas-host` that _appears_ whenever a node or edge is selected and exposes the primary actions in plain view:
+  - For a selected node: 5 shape buttons (Process / Decision / Terminator / Subroutine / Document) — clicking one calls `store.setNodeKind(id, kind)` and re-renders. The active shape is highlighted.
+  - For a selected edge: 3 edge-kind buttons (Solid / Dotted / Thick) — clicking calls `store.setEdgeKind(id, kind)`.
+  - Always visible label input that mirrors the selected node/edge label and writes back via `store.setNodeLabel` / `store.setEdgeLabel` with a 100ms debounce.
+  - Red Delete button that calls `store.removeNode` / `store.disconnect` and collapses the toolbar.
+- **Console-log diagnostics on every canvas event.** Press Ctrl+Shift+I in the standalone window to open DevTools and you'll see structured `[flowchart]` logs for: pointerdown (with `altKey` and the chosen mode), pointerup (with the drag result), dblclick (with the node id), contextmenu (with the picked shape), selection changes (id + kind), and every bootstrap phase (`DOM loaded` → `resolving userData path` → `store created` → `canvas rendered` → `persistence hydrated` → `toolbar wired` → `ready`). Useful for the user to verify Alt+drag and double-click are actually firing.
+- **Preview-render pane shows an info card explaining the layout.** Previously the right pane was blank after every render (the canvas on the left is the rendered chart). Now it shows: "Visual chart is rendered on the left canvas panel. Right side shows the Mermaid source for inspection only — Insert at Cursor sends it to the editor."
+- **`promptInline` / `confirmInline` kept as advanced fallback.** The right-click "change shape" path still opens a `promptInline` modal (for users who prefer the keyboard), but the toolbar is the primary interaction surface. Right-click on a node also auto-selects it first, so the toolbar appears immediately.
+- **Selection state tracked at the controller level** (`_selectedId` + `_selectedKind`), not read from the DOM. The Delete / Backspace keyboard shortcut now reads from this shared state instead of querying `.flowchart-node.selected`, so the keyboard path and the toolbar Delete button always agree.
+- **6 new tests in `tests/flowchart-controller.test.js`** — toolbar hidden by default; selecting a node populates the 5 shape buttons + label input + Delete button (asserts the active shape highlight); clicking a shape button calls `store.setNodeKind` and updates the highlight; typing into the label input updates the label after the 100ms debounce; selecting an edge populates the 3 edge-kind buttons; the Delete button removes the selected node and collapses the toolbar.
+
+## Version 4.9.9 (2026-09-15)
+
+### Fix
+
+- **Standalone Flowchart Generator window: replaced broken `window.prompt` / `window.confirm` with an inline DOM-modal dialog.** Electron renderer contexts (the BrowserWindow hosting the standalone window) return `undefined` when `window.prompt(...)` or `window.confirm(...)` is called — meaning every shape menu, edge-kind change, edge-label edit, and reset confirmation silently did nothing. The bundle now ships two helpers (`promptInline`, `confirmInline`) that build a small overlay with a styled title, message, OK / Cancel buttons, and Enter / Escape / backdrop-click handling. The four call sites (`onEdgeClick` for kind + label, `onShapeMenu`, and the Reset click handler) are now `async` and await the helpers.
+- New `window.FlowchartModals = { promptInline, confirmInline }` export on the bundle so jsdom tests can drive the modals directly without rebuilding the IIFE.
+- 6 new tests in `tests/flowchart-controller.test.js` — OK / Cancel / Escape resolution paths for `promptInline`, OK / Cancel for `confirmInline`, and the `danger` flag renders a red "Delete" primary button.
+
+## Version 4.9.8 (2026-09-15)
+
+### Fix
+
+- **Standalone Flowchart Generator window: bundled pure modules into a single script.** Even after the v4.9.7 `window.FlowchartXxx = exported` guard inside each module's UMD wrapper, the user kept reporting `'Flowchart pure modules not loaded — verify script tags in src/flowchart-generator.html'` in the standalone window's status bar. Rather than chase the remaining environmental quirk (script-tag ordering, UMD `module` truthiness, or eval context differences between renderer processes), this release brute-forces the issue by inlining all four pure modules (shapes / mermaid / store / canvas) plus the controller bootstrap into a single file: `src/renderer/flowchart-bundle.js`.
+  - New `src/renderer/flowchart-bundle.js` — one IIFE, ~720 lines. Sets `window.FlowchartShapes`, `window.FlowchartMermaid`, `window.FlowchartStore`, `window.FlowchartCanvas` immediately, then runs the same controller bootstrap logic that `src/renderer/flowchart-controller.js` exposes.
+  - `src/flowchart-generator.html` now loads exactly one script tag (`<script src="renderer/flowchart-bundle.js"></script>`) instead of five. There is no cross-file ordering to get wrong and no UMD wrapper in the bundle path.
+  - The original individual files are kept untouched (`src/flowchart/flowchart-{shapes,mermaid,store,canvas}.js` and `src/renderer/flowchart-controller.js`). The legacy sidebar panel in `src/renderer.js` still loads them via CommonJS `require()` — fully orthogonal to the new bundle path.
+  - Internal name changes inside the bundle (e.g. `MERMAID_SHAPE_SYNTAX`, `STORE_NODE_KINDS`, `canvasSvgEl`) preserve public surface — the four `window.FlowchartXxx` exports match the v4.9.6 / v4.9.7 public shape exactly, so the existing 97 pure-module tests remain valid without changes.
+
+## Version 4.9.7 (2026-09-14)
+
+### Fix
+
+- **Standalone Flowchart Generator window now loads (was: 'modules not loaded' fatal error).** Each of the four pure modules (`flowchart-shapes.js`, `flowchart-mermaid.js`, `flowchart-store.js`, `flowchart-canvas.js`) ships with a UMD wrapper. The original wrapper assigned `window.FlowchartXxx` only in the `else` branch — i.e. when `module` was undefined. But the renderer runs with `nodeIntegration: true`, so `module` is always truthy in that environment and the `else` branch never ran, leaving `window.FlowchartShapes` / `window.FlowchartMermaid` / `window.FlowchartStore` / `window.FlowchartCanvas` undefined. The standalone window's controller (`src/renderer/flowchart-controller.js`) then aborted with `fatal('Flowchart pure modules not loaded — verify script tags in src/flowchart-generator.html')`.
+  - Fix: every pure module's UMD wrapper now has a second `if (typeof window !== 'undefined') { window.FlowchartXxx = exported; }` block appended AFTER the CommonJS branch. Both branches can run (the CommonJS branch keeps the legacy sidebar panel working under `require()`; the new branch unconditionally exposes the global in the renderer). The factory IIFE is unchanged, so the public surface of every module is identical to v4.9.6 — no behavioural change.
+  - New regression guard: 4 source-grep tests in `tests/flowchart-controller.test.js` assert each module's source file contains the `window.FlowchartXxx = exported` assignment so a future refactor can't silently drop the global again.
+
+## Version 4.9.6 (2026-09-14)
+
+### Refactor
+
+- **Flowchart editor is now a standalone window, not a sidebar panel.** Five fix rounds (v4.9.1 → v4.9.5) couldn't make the sidebar panel feel right — at 280 px sidebar with the canvas + preview split to ~175 px each, plus the editor-container hiding dance the maximize/restore toggle required, the panel kept presenting as cramped and unreliable at runtime. Strategy pivot: the flowchart editor now lives in its own BrowserWindow, matching the ASCII Art Generator pattern (`src/ascii-generator.html` + `src/renderer/ascii-controller.js`).
+  - New `src/flowchart-generator.html` — standalone HTML with its own header, toolbar (Insert at Cursor / Reset), canvas host, and preview host (text-only — the canvas on the left IS the visual preview). All stylesheet `href`s are `src/`-relative — no `../` escape (lesson learned from v4.9.2). Forced light surface (`background: #fafafa !important; color: #1f2328 !important`) on the canvas + preview regardless of the project's body theme, mirroring the v4.9.5 CSS fix that traded theme consistency for guaranteed visibility.
+  - New `src/renderer/flowchart-controller.js` — pure browser IIFE. Wires the canvas + preview, hydrates from `<userData>/flowchart-session.json` once on mount, persists on every store mutation with a 500 ms debounce. Insert at Cursor wraps the generated `flowchart TD` source in a fenced ` ```mermaid ` block and sends it through the existing `insert-content` IPC channel — same one the renderer.js sidebar panel used. Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl/Cmd+Z / Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Z / Delete / Backspace) handled at document level.
+  - New `openFlowchartGenerator()` in `src/main.js` — `BrowserWindow` (1100×720, parent: mainWindow, `contextIsolation: true, nodeIntegration: false`) launched by an `ipcMain.on('open-flowchart-generator')` listener. Tools menu now has a "Flowchart Generator" entry with accelerator `CmdOrCtrl+Alt+F`.
+  - New `window.electronAPI.flowchart.*` namespace in `src/preload.js` — `getUserDataPath` / `readFile` / `writeFile` / `insertAtCursor`. Reuses the existing thin IPC handlers (`get-user-data-path`, `read-text-file`, `write-text-file`) which already sandbox writes to `<userData>`.
+  - The four pure modules (`flowchart-shapes.js`, `flowchart-mermaid.js`, `flowchart-store.js`, `flowchart-canvas.js`) gained a tiny UMD wrapper so they work both as CommonJS (the legacy sidebar panel still loads them via `require()`) and as browser globals (the standalone window loads them via `<script>` tags attached to `window.FlowchartShapes`, etc.). The CommonJS shape is preserved — no behavioural change to the 73 flowchart unit tests in `tests/flowchart-*.test.js`.
+
+### Cleanup
+
+- **Sidebar Flow Chart panel registration disabled** in `src/renderer.js` — the `sidebarManager.registerPanel('flowchart', …)` call and the matching `commandPalette.register('Toggle Sidebar: Flow Chart', …)` entry are now both commented out. The legacy panel implementation (`src/sidebar/flowchart-panel.js`) and its unit tests (`tests/flowchart-panel.test.js`) are kept untouched for rollback — re-enabling is a one-step uncomment in `src/renderer.js`. The unused `flowchartIO` helper that the panel needed was also removed.
+
+### Tests
+
+- New `tests/flowchart-controller.test.js` (10 tests) — verifies the standalone window's HTML doesn't `../`-escape any stylesheet, `bootstrap()` resolves `getUserDataPath` exactly once on mount, reads `<userData>/flowchart-session.json` on mount, hydrates the store from a saved session, wraps Insert-at-Cursor output in a `mermaid` fenced block, Reset clears nodes/edges (with confirm) and persists the empty graph (without confirm). Two regression tests assert that `src/renderer.js` no longer contains a live `sidebarManager.registerPanel('flowchart', …)` call or a live `commandPalette.register('Toggle Sidebar: Flow Chart', …)` entry.
+
+## Version 4.9.5 (2026-09-14)
+
+### Fixes
+
+- **Flowchart Panel — rendered Mermaid SVG invisible at runtime**: v4.9.4 shipped with three interaction bugs that combined to make the Flow Chart panel look broken even though all the wiring was correct:
+  1. **Render target had zero height.** `.flowchart-preview-render` only had `flex: 1; padding: 8px; overflow: auto;` — no `min-height`. When the parent flex column shrank (collapsed sidebar, normal sidebar width before the user clicks Maximize), the target collapsed to 0 height and the Mermaid-rendered SVG, though attached to the DOM, was clipped to nothing.
+  2. **Dark-on-dark surfaces.** The canvas host and preview host inherited the project's `body.theme-concreteinfo` dark theme. Mermaid's `dark` theme was selected automatically in `src/renderer.js` based on the body class, producing near-black SVG fills on a near-black background. Node labels "Node" were barely legible.
+  3. **Selection highlight invisible.** `.flowchart-node.selected` only set `stroke: var(--accent); stroke-width: 2;` against the rect's existing near-black fill — a thin accent stroke on a dark fill is effectively invisible at small sizes.
+
+  Fix in three places:
+  - `src/styles-sidebar.css` — gave `.flowchart-preview-render` a `min-height: 120px` so the Mermaid SVG always has room to lay out. Added a `!important` light background (`#fafafa` / `#1f2328` text) to `.flowchart-canvas-host` and `.flowchart-preview-host` so the flowchart surface is readable regardless of the project's body theme. Forced explicit fills and strokes on `.flowchart-node rect` / `.flowchart-node polygon` / `.flowchart-node text` / `.flowchart-edge` (white fill, dark stroke, dark text). Selection now also changes the fill (`#e3f0ff`) and bumps `stroke-width` to 3 on both nodes and edges — the highlight is unmissable.
+  - `src/renderer.js:2443-2450` — the inline `renderFlowChartMermaid` now always initializes Mermaid with `theme: 'default'` (light) regardless of body class. Keeping this in sync with the CSS rule above is load-bearing: both are needed for the panel to be visible in any theme.
+
+- **Tradeoff accepted**: the flowchart surface is now always light — diverges from the project's body theme. The user has been explicit that visibility and a working editor are the priority; theme consistency within this focused panel is sacrificed to guarantee the panel reads.
+
+### Tests
+
+- `tests/flowchart-panel.test.js` — new `describe('flowchart-panel: render target sizing (v4.9.5 regression)')` block (3 tests) reading the shipped CSS to assert: (a) `.flowchart-preview-render` has a non-zero `min-height`, (b) `.flowchart-canvas-host` / `.flowchart-preview-host` carry a forced background declaration with `!important`, (c) `.flowchart-node.selected rect/polygon` carry an explicit fill and `stroke-width >= 3`. Reading the stylesheet directly mirrors what the runtime loads via `<link rel="stylesheet">` and sidesteps jsdom's incomplete layout engine.
+
+## Version 4.9.4 (2026-09-14)
+
+### Fixes
+
+- **Flowchart Panel — selection was invisible**: clicking a node or edge updated the canvas's internal `selectedNodeId` / `selectedEdgeId` but never repainted, so the `.flowchart-node.selected` / `.flowchart-edge.selected` CSS highlight only appeared when the user actually dragged (which triggers `store.subscribe` → `render()`). A bare click left the canvas looking unchanged, and the panel's own `selectedNodeId` (used by the panel-scoped Delete/Backspace shortcut) stayed `null`, so Delete on a freshly-clicked node silently no-op'd. Wired `opts.onNodeClick(id)` end-to-end:
+  - `src/flowchart/flowchart-canvas.js` — added an `opts.onNodeClick` callback parallel to the existing `opts.onEdgeClick`; on click, both branches now call a new surgical `applySelectionHighlight()` that toggles the `.selected` class on the existing `<g data-node-id>` / `<line data-edge-id>` elements without going through `render()` (which would detach the very element the user's pointer is still on, breaking `pointermove`/`pointerup` bubbling during a drag).
+  - `src/sidebar/flowchart-panel.js` — the panel's `onNodeClick` handler mirrors the id into the panel's `selectedNodeId` (clearing `selectedEdgeId`) so Delete/Backspace routes correctly. Same symmetry was already in place for `onEdgeClick`.
+- **Flowchart Panel — narrow sidebar cramped the canvas + preview**: the panel lives in the 280 px sidebar, which split the canvas vs. preview to ~175 px each — too tight to edit a flowchart. Added a "Maximize / Restore" button to the panel toolbar (between the status text and the right edge). Clicking it toggles a `flowchart-takeover` class on `.main-content`:
+  - `src/styles-sidebar.css` — new `.main-content.flowchart-takeover` rules hide `.editor-container` (`display: none`) and let `.sidebar` / `.sidebar-panel` grow with `flex: 1` so the canvas + preview split the full window width instead of the 280 px sidebar.
+  - The button label flips between "Maximize" and "Restore", `aria-label` and `title` update, and the button gets an `.active` highlight while takeover is on. `destroy()` clears the class so leaving the panel doesn't leave the editor hidden for the rest of the session.
+  - The class lookup walks up from the panel container to the nearest `.main-content` ancestor (with a `document.querySelector('.main-content')` fallback) so the panel doesn't need to know whether the sidebar lives inside `#sidebar` or any future container.
+
+### Tests
+
+- `tests/flowchart-panel.test.js` — added two new `describe` blocks (8 tests total):
+  - "selection wiring (canvas click → panel state + SVG class)": clicking a node applies `.selected` to the matching `<g>`, clicking a second node moves `.selected` from the first to the second, clicking an edge applies `.selected` to the matching `<line>`, and a regression test verifying Delete removes a freshly-clicked node (was broken in v4.9.3 because the panel's `selectedNodeId` was never updated by canvas clicks).
+  - "maximize / takeover": the maximize button is exposed in the toolbar, clicking it toggles `.flowchart-takeover` on `.main-content` and flips the button label/active class, and `destroy()` clears the class so the editor stays usable.
+- New `mountWithMainContent()` helper wraps the panel container in a fake `.main-content` (mirroring the real DOM layout in `src/index.html:2341`) so the takeover's class-toggling is observable from the test.
+
+## Version 4.9.3 (2026-09-14)
+
+### Fixes
+
+- **Flowchart Panel — preview pane accumulated raw Mermaid source**: when the user fired several `addNode` mutations within the 250 ms preview debounce, `mermaid.run({ nodes: [div] })` is async, so the previous render's `<div class="mermaid">` (still carrying the source text) was sitting in `.flowchart-preview-render` when the next render cleared the target. The first render's eventual `element.innerHTML = svg` landed on a detached node, but the visible preview pane had a stack of stale `<div class="mermaid">` elements. Fixed in `src/renderer.js:2423-2449`: switched the inline `renderFlowChartMermaid` to `replaceChildren()` (more idiomatic than `innerHTML = ''`) and added a per-target `WeakSet` in-flight tracker that keeps the previous render's closure from racing the new render — its eventual `element.innerHTML = svg` is harmless on a detached node, and the new render always starts from a clean slate.
+
+### Tests
+
+- `tests/flowchart-panel.test.js` — added a second regression test (`preview-source pre never duplicates across debounced mutations even with in-flight mermaid.render`) that fires 7 mutations at 10 ms intervals (well inside the 250 ms debounce), uses a `renderMermaid` mock that mirrors the real mermaid.run closure (captures the input div, asynchronously sets `innerHTML = svg` on it regardless of DOM connection), and asserts the `<pre>` contains exactly one copy of the latest source and the render target holds exactly one `<div class="mermaid">` child whose first element child is the latest `<svg>`.
+
+## Version 4.9.2 (2026-09-14)
+
+### Fixes
+
+- **Standalone ASCII Art Generator — broken stylesheet path**: `src/ascii-generator.html:7` linked `<link rel="stylesheet" href="../fonts.css" />`. The HTML loads via `BrowserWindow.loadFile(path.join(__dirname, 'ascii-generator.html'))` where `__dirname` is `src/`, so `../fonts.css` escaped the `src/` directory and resolved to a non-existent `<project>/fonts.css`. Changed to `fonts.css` (same file, src/-relative — mirrors `src/index.html:29`). The window rendered without its font rules, leaving the header in the fallback system stack.
+- **Standalone ASCII Art Generator — dead Box/Templates UI**: the controller (`src/renderer/ascii-controller.js`) shipped three mode tabs (`Text Banner` / `Box-Frame` / `Templates`), 18 `.template-btn[data-template]` buttons, and a Box form (`#box-text` / `#box-style` / `#box-padding`) but wired none of them. Clicking any tab or button was a no-op. Wired all of them:
+  - `setMode(mode)` toggles `.active` on the right `.mode-tab` and the matching `.mode-section` (`text-mode` / `box-mode` / `templates-mode`).
+  - Template buttons call `api.generate({ text: '', font: 'template:<id>' })` so the orchestrator owns template content; preview updates and the button gets `.active`.
+  - Box mode renders the user text with a border using the chosen style (`single` / `double` / `rounded` / `bold` / `ascii`) and padding, exposed as a pure `window.ASCIIBoxRenderer.renderBox(text, style, padding)` helper.
+  - All 11 brief-required behaviours (text-input / font-picker / font-search / insert / copy / save / generate, last-font persistence, debounced preview) remain intact.
+
+### Tests
+
+- New `tests/ascii-controller.test.js` — 6 tests covering the stylesheet path (no `..` escape), pure box renderer (single + ascii styles), mode-tab switching (Box and Templates), and template button → preview wiring.
+
+## Version 4.9.1 (2026-09-14)
+
+### Fixes
+
+- **Flowchart Panel save failed**: `getUserDataPath()` IPC was not awaited in `src/renderer.js:2439-2449`, so the persistence path was computed as `"[object Promise]/flowchart-session.json"` and rejected by the `write-text-file` userData sandbox. Pre-resolved the path on panel register and cached it; persistence (read and write) now works correctly.
+
+## Version 4.9.0 (2026-09-14)
+
+### New: Visual Flow Chart Editor (Sidebar panel → "Flow Chart")
+
+- Pure `flowchart-store.js` — graph data store with bounded undo/redo (depth 50)
+  and injectable persistence IO (testable without touching the filesystem)
+- 5 node shapes (process, decision, terminator, subroutine, document) × 3 edge
+  kinds (solid, dotted, thick) with full keyboard accessibility
+- Hand-rolled SVG canvas: drag nodes, double-click to edit labels, Alt+drag from
+  a node edge to wire connections, in-place label editing, delete + backspace
+  to remove the selection
+- `flowchart-shapes.js` — pure SVG path templates (no DOM, fully unit-tested)
+- `flowchart-mermaid.js` — translates the graph to Mermaid `flowchart TD` source
+  that renders identically in the preview pane
+- Sidebar panel `src/sidebar/flowchart-panel.js` with debounced preview (250 ms),
+  debounced persistence (500 ms), and Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z / Delete / Backspace
+  shortcuts
+- 3 thin IPC channels (`get-user-data-path`, `read-text-file`, `write-text-file`)
+  sandboxed to `app.getPath('userData')` via path validation
+- Auto-save to `<userData>/flowchart-session.json`; restores on reopen
+- Rail button in the sidebar; toggle the panel with `Ctrl+Alt+F`
+- Insert-at-Cursor wraps the generated Mermaid in a fenced ` ```mermaid ` block
+  at the current cursor position in the active editor tab
+- 73 new tests
+
+### New: ASCII Art Generator upgrade
+
+- Pure `AsciiArt` orchestrator (`generate / listFonts / getFontMeta`) unifying
+  hand-coded fonts + figlet + 19 named templates behind one API
+- 17 hand-coded font tables extracted from inline renderer code (5 existing +
+  12 new: Big, Small, Lean, Slant, Isometric1-4, 3-D, 3x5, ANSI Shadow, Calvin S)
+- 19 named ASCII templates (arrows, flowcharts, banners, frames)
+- `figlet@^1.8.0` dep with lazy-load + cache adapter (≥328 bundled fonts; pure
+  JS, no native bindings)
+- 6 IPC handlers: `ascii:generate / list-fonts / get-font-meta / save / copy /
+last-font`
+- Standalone window rewrite: removed the ~385-line inline script; added a
+  searchable font picker, Copy to Clipboard, and Save to File
+- Major cleanup: -1029 net lines of dead code (the in-app modal
+  `#ascii-art-dialog`, the 800-line renderer controller, the
+  `show-ascii-generator*` preload channels, and the obsolete
+  `textToASCII`/`createASCIIBox`/etc. helpers)
+- 97 new tests
+
+### New: Editor Theme Registry (extension)
+
+- 12 new themes added: Catppuccin Latte / Frappé / Macchiato / Mocha, One Light,
+  Tokyo Night Storm, Synthwave '84, Outrun, Winter is Coming (Light + Dark),
+  Solarized Dark High Contrast, Spring Light
+- Total: 37 themes (15 light + 22 dark incl. 1 high-contrast), sorted into
+  Light / Dark / High-Contrast tables in the README
+- Pure `ThemeRegistry` module; the View menu generator now reads
+  `list() + categories()`; new per-theme CSS files live at
+  `src/styles/themes/<id>.css`
+- `<link disabled>` preload + `<link>` toggle pattern (sub-millisecond theme
+  switch — no flash, no re-fetch)
+- Aria-friendly: the high-contrast option is announced to assistive tech
+
+### Bug fixes
+
+- Plan 3: rail button tooltip `Ctrl+Alt+F` now actually wired (the shortcut
+  existed but the panel toggle was missing)
+- Plan 3: `destroy()` cleanup on panel unmount — timers, listeners, and the
+  store subscription are all released (no leaks when toggling repeatedly)
+- Plan 2: standalone window `<script src>` path corrected (was escaping `src/`)
+- Plan 2: font substitutions reverted — `Isometric1-4` and `Calvin S` are
+  actually restored from figlet's bundled fonts
+
+### Housekeeping
+
+- 1093 tests passing across 36 snapshots in 90 suites
+- Lint + Prettier clean across all 3 plans
+- Linux build verified end-to-end (AppImage + deb + snap produced)
+
+---
+
+## Version 4.7.1 (2026-09-05)
+
+### New: Export Themes (Word + PDF)
+
+- Theme picker in the export dialog (basic and advanced mode) for PDF and DOCX:
+  **Default (Pandoc), Modern, Classic, Sepia, Minimal, Elegant**
+- PDF: LaTeX header recolors/reformats headings + links (xcolor/titlesec,
+  core-TeX packages only); DOCX: styles.xml surgery recolors Heading1-6/Title/
+  Subtitle/Hyperlink and swaps heading/body fonts
+- Themes persist in export presets; unknown ids in old presets fall back to
+  Default instead of failing the export
+
+### Branding
+
+- New M↓ brand identity: app icons, favicons, tray icon, welcome mark,
+  README wordmark (vector kit in assets/markdown-converter-assets/)
+
+### Fixes
+
+- **Windows**: pdfjs text/image extraction failed on Windows —
+  standardFontDataUrl is now a proper file:// URL (raw backslash paths
+  failed pdfjs's trailing-slash URL validation)
+- **Windows**: sharp temp-file cleanup (EPERM retry), path-separator test
+  assertions, and pdfjs test timeouts fixed — the Windows CI job is green
+- FiraCode tooling downloads pinned to the immutable 6.2 release;
+  .gitattributes stops CRLF checkout rewriting hash-pinned files
+- macOS pandoc extractor locates the binary in the archive (layout changed)
+- Packaged apps resolve bundled pandoc/markitdown next to the executable
+  (resourcesPath lookup was wrong since 4.5 — packaged builds silently used
+  system pandoc)
+
+---
+
+## Version 4.7.0 (2026-09-05)
+
+### Bundling & Legal Compliance
+
+- **MarkItDown is now bundled**: `npm run bundle:markitdown` freezes Microsoft's
+  markitdown (MIT) + embedded Python runtime into a single ~75MB per-platform
+  binary (`bin/<platform>/markitdown`) via PyInstaller (ML extras excluded);
+  the app prefers the bundled binary and falls back to system installs
+- Packaging copies the bundled markitdown for Windows/macOS/Linux alongside Pandoc
+- **THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md** — full license inventory of everything distributed
+  (bundled binaries, npm runtime deps, fonts, embedded Python packages)
+- **SOURCES.md** — GPL §3(b) written source offer for Pandoc / FFmpeg (GPL build) /
+  PyInstaller bootloader, with pinned versions + SHA-256; LGPL relinking note for libvips
+- **third-party-licenses/** — canonical texts: GPL-2.0, LGPL-2.1, MPL-2.0,
+  Apache-2.0, OFL-1.1, PSF-Python
+- **Help → Third-Party Notices & Licenses** — in-app viewer for both documents
+- **download-tools.js** now SHA-256 pins and verifies every downloaded artifact
+  (post-download and against the cache on every run; hard-fails on mismatch)
+- README gains a "Bundled Dependencies, Legal Notices & Credits" section
+- Large optional tools intentionally NOT bundled (documented): LibreOffice,
+  MiKTeX/TeX Live, ImageMagick, PlantUML+JRE, Calibre
+
+---
+
+## Version 4.6.1 (2026-09-05)
+
+### New Features
+
+- **MarkItDown import** — "File → Import with MarkItDown (Any Format)…" embeds
+  Microsoft's [markitdown](https://github.com/microsoft/markitdown) (MIT) as an
+  any-file → Markdown path: PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, Outlook .msg/.eml, EPUB,
+  images, CSV/JSON/XML, ZIP; audio transcription and OCR with the `[all]` extras
+  - Command auto-resolution: `markitdown` binary, then `python -m markitdown` /
+    `python3 -m markitdown` (probed once, cached)
+  - Same SEC-1 argv discipline as Pandoc (execFile only, paths never through a shell),
+    50MB input cap, 120s timeout, path-sanitized errors that surface markitdown's
+    actionable `pip install 'markitdown[...]'` hints
+  - Output written next to the source as `<name>.md` (numeric suffix instead of
+    overwriting) and opened in a new tab; `markitdown:available` / `markitdown:convert`
+    IPC for future renderer flows
+- **AI Assistant: Anthropic-compatible provider** — any base URL speaking the
+  Anthropic messages schema (LiteLLM proxies, Bedrock gateways, local servers);
+  x-api-key + Bearer auth, keyless proxies supported, tolerates bases with or
+  without a trailing `/v1`
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- File → Open PDF crashed the PDF editor (null operation matched no section; now
+  defaults to Merge)
+- Backlinks panel required the wrong module path (failed at registration)
+- writing-studio engines/panels now await their IPC-backed settings/file backends
+  (eliminates `JSON.parse("[object Promise]")` crashes)
+- Manuscript panel's window.prompt (unsupported in Electron) replaced with an
+  inline dialog; collaboration comment store made async to match its IO
+
+---
+
+## Version 4.6.0 (2026-09-05)
+
+### New Features
+
+#### AI Assistant Plugin (multi-provider)
+
+- Chat sidebar panel with rolling conversation history and insert-reply-into-document
+- Providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, LM Studio, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
+- All provider traffic proxied through the main process — API keys never enter the renderer and the CSP stays closed to AI endpoints
+- Commands: AI Summarize / Improve / Explain / Translate selection
+- Answers the writing-studio `ai:analyze` contract, finally enabling the Proofread panel
+
+#### Collaboration Plugin (inline comments)
+
+- Anchor-based comments stored in `.comments/` sidecar files (never exported, never committed)
+- Comments sidebar panel: add at cursor, list, resolve, delete, jump to anchor
+- Drift detection flags moved/edited anchors; F8 navigates to the next open comment
+
+#### Local Knowledge Base (wiki-links + backlinks)
+
+- `[[Note]]`, `[[Note|alias]]`, `[[Note#section]]` render as links in the preview (code blocks excluded)
+- Clicking a wiki-link opens the note or offers to create it
+- Backlinks sidebar panel scans the folder (bounded BFS) for documents linking to the current one
+
+#### Crash Recovery / Session Restore
+
+- Open tabs (paths + unsaved buffer content) snapshotted to localStorage, debounced on edits, on tab changes, on unload, and once a minute
+- Restore prompt on launch with per-tab restore, clean-fresh option, and 2MB content budget
+
+#### Document Version History
+
+- Every save snapshots the previous on-disk content to `<userData>/versions/`
+- History sidebar panel: list, restore (with safety snapshot), unified diff vs. current, delete, manual "save version now"
+- Per-document pruning (20 versions), path-hash storage, id-validated reads
+
+#### Editor
+
+- Vim keybindings (View → Vim Mode, persisted, live toggle via CodeMirror Compartment)
+- Snippet Tab-expansion: type a snippet name and press Tab to insert it
+- Zen Mode word-goal setter (the HUD progress bar finally has UI)
+
+#### Export / Conversion
+
+- **Real PDF encryption**: pdf-lib swapped for @cantoo/pdf-lib — encrypt/decrypt/permissions now actually work (UI auto-enables via the capability probe)
+- **XLSX export**: markdown tables → native Excel workbook, one sheet per table (no Pandoc needed)
+- **ODT headers/footers + page size**: real ODF styles.xml patching replaces the empty stub
+- **Local PlantUML rendering**: diagrams render on-machine via the `plantuml` CLI when installed; plantuml.com stays as fallback
+- **KaTeX bundled locally** (CSS + fonts): math renders offline, no CDN calls
+- Writing heatmap (GitHub-style 30-day grid) in the writing-studio Goals panel
+
+#### Platform
+
+- Quick Note global scratchpad (Ctrl+Alt+Q, works when unfocused; appends to `notes/quick-notes.md`)
+- Deep link protocol `markdownconverter://open?path=…`
+- REPL confirmation dialog before first code execution per language per session (unsandboxed-execution guard rail)
+- Writing-studio's four sidebar panels (Manuscript/Goals/Snapshots/Proofread) are now actually wired with rail icons
+- Plugin sidebar panels get automatic rail icons via `registerPanel({icon})`
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- `Ctrl+Shift+P` collision: PDF (Enhanced) export now `Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P`; Command Palette keeps `Ctrl+Shift+P`
+- Universal Converter's Pandoc tool no longer always reports "not installed" (`checkConverterAvailable` gained a pandoc case with bundled-binary check)
+- CLI headless export: removed dangling `--css` / `--reference-doc` flags that made pandoc exit with an error; `--self-contained` replaced with `--standalone` (Pandoc 3.x)
+- Removed dead "Open Export Options Dialog…" button from the converter dialog
+- Removed duplicate `styles-zen.css` include
+
+### Security
+
+- AI provider requests carry size caps (200KB prompt), timeouts (120s), and user-safe error surfaces
+- Version-history reads validate ids against traversal; history listing requires a valid document path
+- PlantUML local rendering removes the diagram-text exfiltration path when a local CLI exists (CVE-MC-007 follow-up)
+
+### Tests
+
+- New suites: OdtStyling, AiProviders, ai-assistant prompts, collaboration comment-store, wiki-links/backlinks, session-store, XlsxExporter, VersionHistory
+- PDFOperations encryption tests rewritten for the real-encryption reality
+
+---
+
+## Version 4.0.0 (2026-03-04)
+
+### Major Changes
+
+- **CodeMirror 6 Editor** — Replaced textarea with CodeMirror 6 featuring syntax highlighting, code folding, bracket matching, multiple cursors, and auto-indent
+- **Sidebar Panel System** — Collapsible sidebar with File Explorer, Git, Snippets, and Templates panels
+- **Command Palette** — Ctrl+Shift+P to search and execute all app actions
+- **Code Execution (REPL)** — Run JavaScript, Python, and Bash code blocks directly from the preview
+
+### New Features
+
+- Print Preview dialog with paper size, orientation, margins, scale, and page range controls
+- Image paste from clipboard and drag-drop support with auto-save to assets folder
+- Document templates library (10 templates: blog post, meeting notes, tech spec, changelog, README, project plan, API docs, tutorial, release notes, comparison)
+- Markdown extensions: footnotes, admonitions (note/warning/tip/danger/info), and [[toc]] table of contents
+- PlantUML diagram rendering alongside Mermaid
+- Welcome tab with onboarding and "What's New" feature showcase
+- System spell checking with context menu suggestions and dictionary support
+- Enhanced status bar with word count, character count, line/column, encoding, and language mode
+- Grouped toolbar with visual section separators
+- Breadcrumb bar showing current file path
+
+### New Export/Import Formats
+
+- Reveal.js slides (.html)
+- Beamer slides (.pdf)
+- Confluence/Jira wiki markup (.txt)
+- MOBI e-books (via Calibre)
+- Developer formats: JSON, YAML, XML, TOML
+
+### Security
+
+- Content Security Policy (CSP) meta tag
+- File size validation (50MB limit)
+- Error message sanitization (stripped file paths)
+- Conversion rate limiting (2-second debounce)
+
+### Dependencies Updated
+
+- marked: 16.x to 17.x (with marked-highlight extension)

+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- Editor is now CodeMirror 6 (replaces textarea)

+# Markdown Converter — Brand Assets
+
+Visual identity for [markdown-converter](https://github.com/amitwh/markdown-converter): a cross-platform Markdown editor & document converter powered by Pandoc.
+
+## Concept
+
+The mark is a stylized **M** whose right descender becomes a downward chevron — a literal "**M↓**" for **Markdown**, suggesting the source document flowing downward into rendered output (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, …).
+
+The palette is a vibrant orange-to-deep-orange gradient (`#FB923C → #C2410C`) on a white mark — warm, energetic, distinctive. The mark itself is **white** on light surfaces, and a luminous peach-to-orange gradient (`#FFEDD5 → #FB923C`) on dark surfaces.
+
+## Files
+
+### App icon (vector, primary)
+
+These are **true SVG app icons** — clean vector paths, no rasters. Drop them straight into a macOS/Windows/Linux app bundle, a PWA manifest, an iOS asset catalog, an Electron build, or any HTML page.
+
+| File | Use it for |
+| --- | --- |
+| `app-icon.svg` | **Primary app icon.** Emerald→teal vertical gradient, subtle white highlight upper-left, white M↓ mark. |
+| `app-icon-dark.svg` | **Dark-mode app icon.** Charcoal gradient background, soft teal radial glow upper-left, mint-to-emerald gradient on the M↓ mark. |
+| `app-icon-flat.svg` | **Flat solid variant.** Single emerald background, white M↓ mark. Use when you can't render gradients (print, stickers, single-color contexts). |
+
+### Logo (wordmark)
+
+| File | Use it for |
+| --- | --- |
+| `logo-horizontal.jpg` (2752×1536) | High-res raster master. README hero, press kit. |
+| `logo-horizontal-1600w.jpg` (1600×893) | Web-ready compressed version. |
+| `logo-horizontal.svg` | Vector wordmark. Use in HTML, CSS, anywhere that needs to scale. |
+
+### Vector mark (for code & inline use)
+
+| File | Use it for |
+| --- | --- |
+| `mark.svg` | Gradient SVG mark. Drop into HTML, use as a UI element, or rasterize at any size. |
+| `mark-mono.svg` | Monochrome SVG. Uses `currentColor` — style it from CSS (`color: white;`) for any single-color context. |
+| `mark-standalone.jpg` (2048×2048) | Raster M↓ on white, for places that need a PNG (GitHub avatar, doc thumbnails). |
+
+### Favicons (rasterized from `app-icon.svg`)
+
+In the `favicons/` directory:
+
+| File | Use it for |
+| --- | --- |
+| `favicon.ico` | Legacy `.ico` (16/32/48/64 embedded). Drop at the site root. |
+| `favicon-16x16.png`, `favicon-32x32.png`, `favicon-48x48.png` | Standard browser favicons. |
+| `apple-touch-icon.png` (180×180) | iOS home screen & "Add to Home Screen". |
+| `icon-192.png`, `icon-512.png` | Android home screen, PWA manifest, web app. |
+
+### Social preview
+
+| File | Use it for |
+| --- | --- |
+| `og-social-preview-1200x630.jpg` | **GitHub social preview** — set as the repository's social card image (Settings → Social preview). Also works as Open Graph / Twitter Card. |
+
+## Usage in the repo
+
+Drop the vector icons + favicon set into the repo root or a `/brand` folder, then in `README.md`:
+
+```markdown
+<p align="left">
+  <img src="./brand/app-icon.svg" width="80" alt="Markdown Converter">
+</p>
+```
+
+For the favicon, in `index.html` (or any HTML site):
+
+```html
+<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico">
+<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32x32.png">
+<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">
+```
+
+For an Electron app, point `build.icon` at the SVG (or a 512×512 PNG export):
+
+```json
+{
+  "build": {
+    "icon": "brand/icon-512.png"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Color tokens
+
+```
+--mc-orange-400: #FB923C   /* gradient start (light) */
+--mc-orange-700: #C2410C   /* gradient end   (light) */
+--mc-orange-500: #F97316   /* flat / accent        */
