convertigo-project-editor

name: convertigo-project-editor description: Edit and maintain Convertigo projects (C8Oforms) via YAML in _c8oProject (sequences, connectors, mobile pages/components, shared actions/components, and project metadata). Use when asked to change Convertigo YAML descriptors, sequence steps or SmartTypes, mobile UI definitions, or to validate/reload/build a project after YAML edits.

Convertigo Project Editor

Overview

Enable safe edits of Convertigo YAML in this repo and validate them with the required reload/compile workflow.

Quick start

1. Identify the target area (sequence, connector, mobile page/component, shared action/component, project root).
2. Locate the YAML under _c8oProject/ or in c8oProject.yaml with 🗏 references, then edit the referenced file.
3. Apply YAML/JS rules (indentation, symbols, FormatedContent quoting, Rhino-safe JS).
4. Validate with the C8OForms local workflow: reload the project, wait 10 seconds, then open Mobile Builder. Do not use yaml-delta apply unless explicitly requested.

Project docs (open only when needed)

• codex/docs/codex-guidelines.md: project conventions, guardrails, reload/compile workflow.
• codex/docs/convertigo-yaml-guide.md: YamlConverter rules, symbols, indentation, subfiles.
• codex/docs/sequence-steps-reference.md: step list and YAML keys.
• codex/docs/sequence-step-details.md: step parameters and behavior.
• codex/docs/sequence-step-properties.md: palette names and short descriptions.
• codex/docs/convertigo-gradle-guide.md: Gradle load/build/deploy commands.
• codex/docs/front-bug-findings.md: known front issues (reference only; do not edit _private/ionic).

Editing rules (must follow)

• Only modify files under _c8oProject/ unless explicitly requested.
• Never edit _private/ionic/; update the YAML descriptors instead. Treat _private/ionic, DisplayObjects/mobile, generated i18n copies, and ngsw-config* files as generated artifacts unless the user explicitly asks to edit generated output.
• Keep YAML indentation at 2 spaces; never add tabs.
• Use Convertigo symbols ↓, ↑, →, 🗏 exactly as exported.
• For FormatedContent blocks, keep the opening/closing single-quote lines and use tabs inside the JS body (no extra blank lines).
• Keep JS Rhino-compatible (var, classic functions; avoid modern syntax).
• Prefer ASCII; use non-ASCII only when already present in the file (e.g., translations).

Sequence edits

• Choose the proper step type from sequence-steps-reference.md; confirm parameters in sequence-step-details.md.
• Preserve SmartType structure and existing step ordering.
• Add variables with safe defaults and short comments when needed.

Mobile pages/actions/components

• Edit YAML under _c8oProject/mobilePages, _c8oProject/mobileSharedActions, _c8oProject/mobileComponents, _c8oProject/mobileSharedComponents.
• Keep scriptContent JS Rhino-compatible.
• Update Monaco/IntelliSense types in shared components when needed (see codex/docs/codex-guidelines.md).
• For shared behavior reused by several editors, search all relevant variants before finalizing (for example editorPage, itemCondsNavigation, conditionVisibleIf, conditionVisibleIfPrev, FilterBR, and matching viewer/editor shared components).

Validation workflow (required after YAML edits)

• Run YAML lint first (c8o_yaml_lint.py or the MCP yaml-lint tool when available), then git diff --check.
• Reload the project, wait 10 seconds, then open Mobile Builder. A run is valid only when reload reports no project import error, Mobile Builder is ready, and compileErrors is empty.
• If generated TypeScript looks correct but the browser/runtime still shows old behavior, suspect a stale served bundle before making more code changes; reload/open Mobile Builder again and retest.
• Fallback: JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 17) ./gradlew load --info --no-build-cache --no-daemon if CLI is unavailable.
• A run is valid only when no Exception occurs for project: C8Oforms appears.

Playwright and runtime validation

• If a test uses Convertigo sequences through /convertigo/projects/C8Oforms/.json, run it with C8OFORMS_BASE_URL=http://localhost:18080, not only C8OFORMS_APP_URL=http://localhost:41378/.
• Use C8OFORMS_APP_URL=http://localhost:41378/ only for flows that do not need backend sequence calls from the browser origin.
• When a Playwright failure conflicts with manual inspection, inspect the trace/snapshot DOM to identify the exact component and loaded bundle before changing code again.
• For existing regression specs, treat the spec as the behavioral contract and update tests/e2e/regression-manifest.json only after the fix is actually validated.

Deliverables

• Provide a short summary of files edited and why.
• Mention how validation was performed, or state explicitly if validation was skipped.
