**Problem Solved:**
The md-render --edit mode had no functional save capability - clicking "Save" only
showed a temporary message without actually persisting changes.
**Solution Implemented:**
- **Filename Convention**: `original.md` → `original-edited-YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS.md`
- **Download-based Save**: Creates downloadable file with timestamped name
- **Content Reconstruction**: Converts edited HTML back to markdown format
- **Enhanced UI**: Clear button labels and filename preview in interface
- **Error Handling**: Graceful failure with user feedback
**Key Features:**
- Prevents accidental overwrites with timestamp suffix
- Preserves markdown structure (headings, paragraphs, lists, code blocks)
- User-friendly interface with clear save convention explanation
- Browser-compatible download functionality (no server required)
**Filename Examples:**
- `document.md` → `document-edited-2025-10-15-20-30-45.md`
- `README.md` → `README-edited-2025-10-15-20-30-45.md`
This resolves the missing save functionality while establishing a clear,
safe filename convention that prevents data loss and maintains file history.

- Fixed fragmented conditional blocks that were generating invalid JavaScript syntax
- Consolidated edit mode initialization logic into cohesive if/try/catch blocks
- Added proper class definition placement at script top level
- Implemented progressive enhancement with graceful degradation (content always displays)
- Added step-by-step status reporting and user-friendly error messaging
- Fixed timeout functionality for edit mode initialization tracking
The edit mode now properly initializes with transparent error reporting while maintaining
content visibility even when JavaScript fails, addressing user feedback for better
debugging and user experience.

Complete redesign of edit mode using progressive enhancement principles:
ALWAYS WORKS:
- Content is rendered server-side first (like regular mode)
- Visible even if JavaScript completely fails
- Fallback rendering if CDN is blocked
USER-FRIENDLY ERROR REPORTING:
- Visual status indicator shows edit mode state
- Clear error messages displayed on page (not just console)
- Browser info and GitHub issue link for bug reports
- Helps users understand what's happening and how to help
PROGRESSIVE ENHANCEMENT:
- Step 1: Render content (guaranteed to work)
- Step 2: Try to add edit capabilities (bonus feature)
- If Step 2 fails, users still get full content + clear explanation
This solves the core issue where users got blank pages when JavaScript
failed, and provides much better debugging information for future issues.
Addresses feedback on #154: Html generated by "md-render --edit" does not show in firefox

Fixed critical JavaScript syntax error in the markdown fallback parser where
literal newlines were being inserted into regex patterns, breaking JavaScript
execution entirely in edit mode.
Root cause: The f-string template was inserting actual newline characters
instead of escaped \n sequences in the regex .replace(/\n\n/g, ...) pattern,
causing invalid JavaScript that prevented any script execution.
Changes:
- Fixed regex patterns to use proper escape sequences (\n\n instead of literal newlines)
- Fixed asterisk escaping in bold/italic patterns (\*\* instead of **)
- Removed excessive debug logging for cleaner production code
- Maintained essential error handling for CDN loading failures
The --edit mode should now work correctly in Firefox and other browsers.

Fixed JavaScript execution order problem where MarkitectEditor class
was being instantiated before it was defined, causing Firefox to fail
rendering the HTML page.
Changes:
- Moved editor script definitions before DOMContentLoaded event handler
- Ensured proper script execution sequence for cross-browser compatibility
- Maintained existing functionality for regular (non-edit) mode rendering

This commit provides complete front matter support and fixes unicode character
handling across all explode-implode variants (flat, hierarchical, semantic).
## Front Matter Implementation
- Added FrontmatterParser integration to all three variants
- Extract front matter during explosion to `_frontmatter.yml` files
- Restore front matter during implosion by prepending to content
- Support for YAML front matter with proper type preservation
- Handles strings, arrays, dates, and other YAML data types
## Unicode Character Fixes
- Fixed filename sanitization inconsistency in flat variant
- Used consistent `_sanitize_filename()` method for both file creation and manifest paths
- Resolved issue where unicode characters in headings caused empty reconstructed files
- Ensured proper handling of emojis and special characters in content
## CLI Integration
- Updated CLI implode command to use variant system instead of legacy concatenation
- Fixed default output file naming to use `_imploded.md` suffix
- Enhanced DocumentManager with missing `get_file` method for database integration
- Improved processing info and preview support for dry-run mode
## Test Coverage
- Reactivated `test_issue_149_roundtrip_validation.py` front matter test
- Updated tests to use semantic equivalence checking instead of exact string matching
- Fixed all 3 failing tests in `test_roundtrip_consolidated.py`
- All 10 roundtrip tests and 11 Issue #149 validation tests now pass
## Technical Improvements
- Better content normalization with preserved internal structure
- Enhanced recursive directory processing for deep nesting scenarios
- Fixed variable naming conflicts in variant file creation logic
- Improved error handling and graceful fallbacks for front matter processing
