v0.6.0

v0.6.0 - July 5, 2026

The editor release. Everything here is aimed at one goal: writing in Minn beats writing in the block editor — see the new editor roadmap.

Added

• Markdown typing conventions: the full set — `code`, **bold**, *italic*, __bold__/_italic_ (word-boundary, so snake_case survives), ~~strike~~, [text](url); block prefixes on space — #–######, -/*/+, 1., > — plus ``` → code block and --- → divider. Wraps go through the undo stack so ⌘Z restores the literal text, with guards so spaced math stars and `array0` prose never convert.
• Inline code: a </> toolbar toggle and the backtick markdown rule, plus a boundary escape — typing at a code chip's edge lands outside the chip (contenteditable offers no such caret position; Chrome would extend the code forever).
• Link popover + ⌘K: click any link to edit its URL, open it, or unlink. The toolbar button and ⌘K-with-a-selection create links; ⌘K still opens the command palette everywhere else.
• Table controls: every editable table carries a persistent ⚙ chip opening a popover — add row above/below, add column left/right, delete either (all relative to the caret cell), make the first row a header (content-preserving both directions), delete table. Tables wear the same dashed cutout as block islands, with editor-side gridlines and a shaded header row.
• Image controls: images get the island-style cutout and their own persistent ⚙ chip into the existing alt/caption/replace popover. Removing an image is dialog-free and ⌘Z restores it.
• Status-aware autosave: 15s-idle / 60s-max instead of every keystroke. Drafts save in place; published, scheduled and private posts are never written by autosave — edits back up to a WordPress autosave revision (like Gutenberg) and apply only on Update. Save draft button, ⌘S, an unsaved-changes indicator, flush-on-navigate and a browser unload warning.
• Backup restore: opening a post with a newer autosave revision (a crash, an abandoned session) shows a banner offering Restore / Dismiss. REST saves now refresh the post's oEmbed caches — core only does that from the classic editor, so stale embed failures used to stick forever.
• Text alignment: center/right toolbar toggles, and aligned paragraphs/headings now round-trip as editable content instead of becoming read-only islands. Ordered-list start/reversed/type round-trip too, and core/spacer height edits regenerate the block properly.
• Front-end styles in previews: island previews load the site's real block and theme CSS — collected server-side, scoped client-side so the admin chrome and the typing surface keep Minn's own look. An anchor/stats-dashboard island now looks like the published page.
• In-place embed & gallery editing: the inspector offers Change URL… / Replace images…, rebuilding the block through the same templates that create them. The misleading generic attribute fields are gone (editing url in the comment never touched the URL living in the saved HTML). Embed islands now render the real embed in the editor.
• Word count · reading time: a fixed bottom-right pill, always visible while scrolling, recounted live (including when island previews finish rendering).
• SEO editor panel: Yoast SEO or Rank Math — SEO title, meta description and focus keyword in the editor sidebar, via a dedicated minn_seo REST field (edit-context only, per-post capability checks). Completes the extension-api plan.
• Gravity Forms, readable: the entry detail is now a document — answers under the form's real field labels in form order (choice labels resolved, composite names assembled, multiline preserved), then a Submission section (formatted date, clickable source, IP, user), and an open-in-GF link. A new Forms view lists forms with entry counts and status, offers activate/deactivate and edit-in-GF. Deliberately not a form builder.
• x.com embeds: WordPress 7.0's trusted oEmbed providers cover twitter.com but not x.com, so tweets were stripped as untrusted — Minn registers the x.com provider until core catches up.
• Browser test harness: self-contained Playwright suites in tests/ (markdown rules, autosave semantics) plus a CLAUDE.md agent guide. Suites create and delete their own fixtures over REST and gate on zero console errors.

Improved

• SVG icons across the editor toolbar and slash menu (the app's lucide-style set), plus new strikethrough, bulleted/numbered list and clear-formatting buttons.
• The editor toolbar is sticky, and block-type buttons toggle — pressing Quote or H2 again returns to a paragraph. (Repeat presses used to be silent no-ops that still pushed junk undo entries, which made ⌘Z look broken.)
• The slash menu filters as you type — /co narrows to Code; a second / (a literal path) dismisses it.
• Table and image chips highlight together with their cutouts on hover, track scrolling, and are always visible — no hover hunting.
• Surface framework: collections can declare a second manage view, sectioned detail routes, conditional (when) and link (href) actions — all generic, first used by Gravity Forms.

Fixed

• Backspace in the paragraph after an embed no longer destroys the embed (Chrome treats an adjacent island as one deletable atom — and merged the neighbors too). Empty blocks delete alone; deleting into an island arms it red and a deliberate second press removes it.
• Images insert at the caret instead of the top of the document — clicking in the media picker destroyed the editor selection.
• Alignment now previews inside the editor; the word count is no longer stale until the first keystroke.
• Serialized content stays clean: no nbsp litter around inline elements, <strike> stored as <s>, lists never nest inside paragraphs, hover styles and image-delete husks never reach the database.
• Gravity Forms surface now appears for administrators whose role has gform_full_access but not the granular caps (gated through GF's own capability resolver).
