Cutover to new Recent Changes widget

Make the recent-changes page match the widget it links from

2026-07-14T23:10:17Z

nodes/recent rendered the generic node-listing partial (id, actions, current lock owner, revision number) -- nothing resembling what 'See all recent changes' actually promised to show more of. Both surfaces now render the same extracted partial, so they can't tell two different stories again. Also: head.editor correctly identifies who last wrote the content sitting in head, but publish_draft! never touches editor at all -- nobody has ever had the specific act of publishing recorded anywhere. 'Published by X' was a claim the data never supported, only incidentally true when the same person who drafted something also happened to publish it. Relabeled to 'last edited by' -- same data, accurately described. A real publish-actor is separate, future work, once the action log exists. Basic list styling added for the full page, which had never rendered outside the widget's own compact five-line context before.

UI cleanup pass: search overlay position, remaining table forms

2026-07-12T22:41:36Z

The search overlay was positioned against the whole viewport (left: 50%, transform: translateX(-50%)) because it sat outside wider text nav it used to center under. Moved inside #navigation, which already has its own positioning context, so it now anchors to the icon nav itself instead of the page center. admin/search_results.html.erb was a bare, unstyled

concatenating title and unique_name into one string by hand. Restyled to match the byline convention already used everywhere else (title_for_node, a separate link_to_path byline with the trailing arrow), and results now link to the node's admin show page rather than straight to edit, matching every other node list in the app instead of being the one exception. menu_items#new and sessions#new (the login page) were the last two views still using the pre-node_content/node_description table-based label/field layout -- found via a grep for the old td.description marker, not guessed at. Converting menu_items#new surfaced a real, separate gap: its input fields have never had a width rule, since the existing 690px rule only applies to a few specifically-named field IDs or anything inside #page_editor, neither of which applies here. Same likely gap probably exists on other simple CRUD forms (users/events/assets/occurrences/pages) -- not fixed here, flagged for its own pass rather than guessed at blind. nodes#new's Create button was pushed to the far right of the page by one stray class (node_content right) no sibling create form carries -- not a family-wide inconsistency, one extra class in one file.

Rebuild the admin dashboard: icon nav, search, signposts, widgets

2026-07-12T21:42:43Z

Replaces the old admin#index wizard -- accreted over years, never designed as a whole -- with the dashboard settled on this session: a three-icon nav (dashboard/search/log out, no locale selector), a nodes-first search bar, four task signposts, and two symmetric widgets (drafts/autosaves, recent changes) with a quiet housekeeping row beneath them. Node.recently_changed now filters and orders by the head page's own updated_at instead of the node's blanket timestamp, so a lock/unlock cycle with no actual publish no longer surfaces here, and the original publisher is no longer misattributed to someone else's housekeeping action. This also restores the "published" qualifier on each entry, which the query previously couldn't guarantee was true. @mynodes and its dedicated "My Work" table are retired along with the old wizard -- "Continue my work" is a link to the existing, already- correct NodesController#mine instead of a second, duplicate query. Its one dedicated test (dedup across multiple revisions by the same user) is ported to nodes_controller_test.rb, since mine already carries the same .distinct protection the old query did; it just had no test of its own until now.

Add head/draft/autosave layer comparison at three UI entry points

2026-07-10T00:03:19Z

Node#resolve_page_reference and #available_layer_pairs let Page#diff_against compare named layers (head/draft/autosave), not just numbered revisions -- autosave was never part of Node#pages, so this was the missing piece. Wired into nodes#show's Status section, nodes#edit right after an autosave gets resurrected ("What changed?"), and the admin wizard's current-drafts table, which now also lists autosave-only nodes it previously never showed. revisions#diff hides the numbered-revision picker when comparing named layers (it can't represent them), shows a plain label instead, and offers buttons to switch between whichever other pairs make sense for the node's current state. Destroying the topmost layer is available directly from the diff view, reusing the existing revert! path. "Discard changes" is renamed "Discard Autosave" everywhere it appears, to match "Destroy Draft".
