  • RecordingMiniLcmApi now writes standard descriptions that identify the entity: its id (headwords, glosses and names aren't unique), its parent, and the patch summary. Several records previously identified nothing.
  • Submit* has no interface defaults any more, so every implementer writes them. The defaults cost compile-time checking in the classes that should implement all of them: MiniLcmApiWriteNormalizationWrapper had silently inherited 11, degrading them to returning updates that re-read a possibly-deleted object instead of letting the delete win.
  • RichString.ToString() returns its plain text. Rich values printed as their type name before, which left example sentence and picture records with no content.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The write API now requires explicit Submit* implementations. Normalization and bridge layers provide submit wrappers. Recording APIs capture stable identifiers, parent context, update summaries, and positions. Patch and rich-string formatting support these descriptions.

Changes

Submit write flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Submit contract and delegation
backend/FwLite/MiniLcm/IMiniLcmWriteApi.cs, backend/FwLite/MiniLcm/Normalization/..., backend/FwLite/FwDataMiniLcmBridge/Api/..., backend/FwLite/FwLiteProjectSync/WriteIgnoringMiniLcmApi.cs
Submit* methods are explicit interface members. Bridge and normalization APIs delegate submit operations, with normalization applied to entities and patches. Ignored writes return completed tasks.
Recorded write descriptions
backend/FwLite/FwLiteProjectSync/RecordingMiniLcmApi.cs
Recorded writes now include stable IDs, parent relationships, update summaries, object metadata, and normalized positions. Picture updates and complex-form component moves now have recording methods.
Recording format support
backend/FwLite/MiniLcm/JsonPatchExtensions.cs, backend/FwLite/MiniLcm/Models/RichString.cs
Patch summaries use a single-line format. RichString.ToString() returns plain text.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 90b31

The change improves dry-run record descriptions, but multiline patch values can still split records across physical lines and reduce log searchability. The PR is otherwise mergeable with owner awareness and a small escaping fix plus focused test.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with records, precise as can be,
IDs hop into logs beside every tree.
Submit paths now carry each patch on its way,
Positions and senses stay clear through the day.
Sniff! says the burrow: “The writes are in view!”

A dry run's only output is its records, so a record that can't be traced to an object is
worthless. Many couldn't: creates were labelled by headword, gloss or name (none unique) with
no id; AddSemanticDomainToSense and SetSensePartOfSpeech never recorded the sense at all;
writing system records carried the type but not the WsId. Example sentence and picture records
printed "MiniLcm.Models.RichString" because RichString had no ToString, so their content was
silently empty. Only 5 of 17 update methods included the patch summary.

Every record now carries the object's id, its parent when the method knows it, and the patch
summary when there is one. Complex form component records name both entries and the link id: the
component side alone doesn't identify a link, which made distinct records look like duplicates.

The Submit* interface defaults are gone, which is what stops this recurring. They let a wrapper
that must observe every write silently inherit one and record under the method it forwards to,
naming an API the caller never used. They're now abstract, so each implementer states its own
behaviour: FwData forwards (unchanged, moved out of the interface), and the recorder,
WriteIgnoringMiniLcmApi and MiniLcmApiWriteNormalizationWrapper are compile-forced to be explicit.

That last one is a behaviour fix. The normalization wrapper declared only SubmitUpdatePicture, so
the other 11 fell through to its returning UpdateX and the CRDT re-read the object, throwing on
one the other side had deleted instead of letting the delete win.

The sync-fidelity notes aren't on develop, so the pointer led nowhere. The reason it gave is
short enough to state in place.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
backend/AGENTS.md asks for `return await` unless the method is a hot path; these run once per
synced object, so the exemption doesn't apply. Covers the pre-existing SubmitUpdatePicture in the
normalization wrapper too, so the block reads uniformly.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Dropped the convention essay on the recorder, the rationale duplicated between the interface and
its implementers, and the notes that only described the change. Also drops a WriteIgnoring comment
about inheriting an interface default, which no longer exists.

CodeRabbit caught that a string or RichString value can carry its own line
breaks, so the joined summary wasn't guaranteed to be one physical line.
ReplaceLineEndings handles every separator .NET recognizes, not just \r and \n.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Devin noticed the same append reads two ways in a dry-run record depending on
how the caller spelled it. OrderPicker already treats a null position and a
BetweenPosition with no neighbours as the same case.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Escaping line endings inside Summarize only covered patch summaries; the records
that interpolate headwords, glosses and rich text straight into the description
could still break per-line grep of the dry-run log. RunRecord is the one place
all of them pass through, so the guarantee belongs there.

Also record a null-options create as WithMainPublication, which is what both
implementations actually do with it.

This is really just testing String.ReplaceLineEndings which doesn't seem useful.

Well, it's more testing that String.ReplaceLineEndings is getting called. The numerous theory cases are probably overkill, but I appreciate that the records are limited to a single line. Maybe I'll cut the cases in half.

This looks good. But it does feel like it's all over the place.
It changes what the PR title suggests. But also Json Patch Summarize, Rich string .ToString.
