Significant UX iteration: Visual palette - Debug text-layer overlay flips from yellow to light grey so it no longer collides with the evidence highlight colour. - New highlight-styles.css matches the sidebar's #fff8d6/#e0c050 palette so a passage marked in the document and its sidebar card speak the same visual language. - Active (focused) evidence: same fill, thick #b78b1c outline on both the highlight and the sidebar card. Library's red --scrolledTo box-shadow is suppressed. Activation model - Click an evidence card in the sidebar → activates that item + scrolls the viewer to the passage + thickens the borders (existing behaviour, now visually clearer). - Click a highlight in the document → activates the evidence that owns that annotation. New `findByAnnotationId()` on EvidenceService is the reverse lookup. Wired through a new `onHighlightClicked` prop on PdfSpikeViewer + `activeAnnotationId` prop that drives the data-ce-active attribute on the highlight wrapper. Inline edit - Each evidence card has a ✎ button that flips the card into an inline form with the citation (quote) and commentary fields. - Saving calls a new `AnnotationService.updateQuote()` + existing `EvidenceService.updateCommentary()`. The selectors are untouched, so the marked passage in the document stays put — the inline hint says so explicitly. - New `AnnotationUpdated` event added to the engine event vocabulary (SharedContracts.md §4 updated). Capture form placement - The yellow "New annotation" toolbar that lived above the viewer is gone. A new InlineCaptureForm component is now slotted into the sidebar between the cards that bracket the new selection in document flow (sorted by page + y of the first PdfRectSelector). If the new selection is before all existing evidence it appears at the top; if after all of them, at the bottom. - The legacy AnnotationToolbar.tsx is removed; the public surface re-exports `InlineCaptureForm` instead. Test updates - tests/integration/citation-card-export-e2e.dom.test.tsx: switched to the seed-session helper (matches the other E2Es) since the fixture-button click path is gone.

citation-evidence
A document-centered evidence workspace for capturing, managing, presenting,
and re-opening citations. The umbrella over the six-package design described
in INTENT.md and wiki/ArchitectureOverview.md.
During the MVP all code lives here under src/ (see "Repository layout"
below). Sister repos hold INTENT only — code migrates outward when each
subsystem stabilises.

The canonical contracts are in wiki/SharedContracts.md;
the partition boundaries are in wiki/DependencyMap.md.
Both are referenced from every workplan and from each sister repo's INTENT.md.
Repository layout
src/
shared/ # vocabulary, types, pure helpers → becomes part of citation-engine
engine/ # services, repositories, event bus → becomes part of citation-engine
anchor/ # selector creation/resolution, viewer adapter contract → becomes evidence-anchor
source/ # ingest, fingerprint, extraction, recovery → becomes evidence-source
binder/ # evidence-to-target binding, visual guide → becomes evidence-binder
work/ # review UI (sidebar, viewer shell) → becomes citation-work
app/ # the reference workspace shell → stays in citation-evidence
The dependency-edge rules between partitions are enforced by ESLint via
eslint-plugin-boundaries (see eslint.config.js). Extraction to a sister
repo is intended to be a git mv plus a package.json cut — nothing more.
Sister repos
Peers under ~/; each holds INTENT.md only during MVP:
~/citation-engine— shared model + engine services~/evidence-anchor— selectors + adapter contract~/evidence-source— ingest, representation, recovery~/evidence-binder— binding, visual guide, rect registry~/citation-work— review UI surfaces
Dev workflow
Requirements: Node 20 LTS (see .nvmrc) and pnpm 9.
pnpm install
pnpm dev # vite dev server (once src/app/ has a real entry)
pnpm test # vitest one-shot
pnpm test:watch
pnpm lint # eslint with boundary rules
pnpm typecheck # tsc --noEmit
pnpm build # production bundle
Workplans (Ralph)
Workplans drive incremental implementation through the ralph loop. The harness
lives in ~/ralph-workplan/; see workplans/README.md for the active list
and ordering.
/ralph-workplan workplans/CE-WP-0001-foundations.md
The loop self-retires when every task in the file has status: done and the
workplan's frontmatter status: done.
