History / Typed Fields Engine Developer Guide

Revisions

  • Custom asset fields and import: user page + three developer guides User page: Recording anything — custom asset fields and import. Three developer guides rather than one, split by LAYER rather than by size: Typed-Fields-Engine-Developer-Guide the shared machinery. Two consumers today; adding a third should be a descriptor and a query, not a new engine Custom-Asset-Fields-Developer-Guide the assets consumer: catalogue, sets, the two ways a set attaches, and every surface the values have to reach Asset-Import-Developer-Guide the feature on top: reconciliation, the preview, the holding area Each carries the traps rather than just the design, because that is what a developer guide is for: the tenancy normalisation that would have duplicated the whole estate on every run, per-row atomicity, row_number being reserved in MySQL 8, mixed local/UTC timestamps, two phantom theme tokens, the guarded script block, t() not being bootstrapped in API endpoints, toast.js using textContent, and modal markup not being portable between two pages of the same module. Sidebar updated under Assets. Every internal link checked against an actual file, and every source file named checked to exist.
