fix(editor): restore reading position only after the layout settles (#266)

Follow-up to the merged title-autofocus fix (#301). Confirmed via Chrome DevTools
on the live app: a residual reload jitter remained — the document renders
progressively (measured height 17729 -> 32185, collapsing mid-swap), and the
restore fired TOO EARLY (twice, at partial heights) because it only checked
"is the target reachable", not "has the layout settled". While the doc grew,
scroll-anchoring dragged the position and the second restore yanked it back
(the jitter), landing ~6000px off.

- restoreScrollPosition now polls the document height and restores ONCE the
  height has been stable for HEIGHT_STABLE_MS (400ms) AND the target is
  reachable; the MAX_RESTORE_WAIT_MS (5s) timeout is the only fallback that
  clamps. Removed the restoreStartRef shared budget; idempotency is now the
  `pollTimerRef !== null` guard (a running wait suppresses a second trigger).
- The two-trigger wiring (early on-mount for the offline path + post-swap) is
  unchanged; both call the now-settle-waiting, idempotent restore.
- A shadow simulation on the live page confirmed the new logic fires once,
  accurately (vs the old two-fire-plus-drift).
- Tests updated for the stable-height timing; (k) rewritten to pin the
  idempotency guard (mutation-verified); (d3) added for "waits until height
  stops changing".

Tradeoff: on progressively-rendering pages the position now appears once the
layout settles (~0.5-2s) in one smooth move, instead of an early-but-jittery,
often-inaccurate restore.

 - **Collaboration server** — `dist/collaboration/server/collab-main` (`pnpm collab`), a Hocuspocus/Yjs WebSocket server (`apps/server/src/collaboration/`) handling real-time document editing, persistence, and page-history snapshots.

+
 The API server is a Fastify app with a global `/api` prefix (`main.ts` excludes `robots.txt`, public share pages, and `mcp` from the prefix). A `preHandler` hook enforces that a resolved `workspaceId` exists for most `/api` routes (multi-tenant by hostname/subdomain via `DomainMiddleware`). `GET /api/sb/:id` (the anonymous blob-sandbox read route) is listed in that preHandler's `excludedPaths`, so it is exempt from workspace resolution and carries no session auth at all (its capability is the unguessable UUID + TTL + TLS) — unlike `/api/files/public/...`, which still resolves a workspace and requires a workspace-bound attachment JWT. Auth is JWT (cookie + bearer); authorization is **CASL** (`core/casl`) — every data access is scoped to the user's abilities.

+  sidebar falls back to floating, and the docked state survives a reload.
+  (#276, #282)
+- **Hovering commented text shows the comment thread in a tooltip.** Pointing
+  at a highlighted comment mark pops a small card with the author and plain
+  text of the root comment and its replies, so a thread can be skimmed without
+  opening the side panel. The card appears after a short delay (no flicker on a

+- **"Move to trash" button in the temporary-note banner.** Besides "Make
+  permanent", the banner on an open temporary note now also offers to trash the
+  note immediately instead of waiting out its lifetime. It reuses the regular
+  soft-delete path, so the "Page moved to trash" undo toast is the safety net —
+  no confirmation dialog. (#273, #277)
+- **Code-block controls float as an overlay instead of taking a row above the
+  code.** The language selector and copy button now sit in the block's top-right
+  corner, and the selector stays invisible until the block is hovered or the
+  selector is focused, so reading code is chrome-free. In read-only views only
+  the copy button renders. (#275, #278)
+- **The AI agent is told about your page edits between turns.** The server
+  snapshots the open page's Markdown at the end of every agent turn and, on the
+  next turn, injects a unified diff of what changed in between, so the agent
+  knows its earlier copy of the page is stale and builds on the user's edits
+  instead of reverting or overwriting them. The diff is whitespace-normalized
+  (pure formatting churn injects nothing) and size-capped, with a hint to
+  re-read the full page via `getPage` when truncated. (#274, #281)
+- **Stress-accent button (U+0301) in the bubble menu.** Select a vowel and
+  toggle a combining acute accent over it — a Russian-style stress mark. The
+  accent is stored as plain text (no custom mark), so it survives Markdown/HTML
+  export, full-text search and public shares unchanged; the toggle is a single
+  undo step and re-clicking removes the accent. (#270, #280)
+- **Reading position survives a reload.** The editor remembers how far you
+  scrolled in each page (per tab, in `sessionStorage`) and restores that
+  position after an F5 or reopening the document, waiting for the collaborative
+  content to finish laying out first. A URL `#hash` anchor still wins — restore
+  is a no-op then. (#266, #267)
+- **The slash menu finds commands typed in the wrong keyboard layout.** A query
+  typed with the wrong layout active (e.g. `/сщву` for `/code`, or `/cyjcrf`
+  for the Cyrillic «сноска» → Footnote) is additionally remapped ЙЦУКЕН↔QWERTY
+  by physical key position and matched against the commands; genuine Cyrillic

+// same signature. A FULL PageEditor component test is impractical here and has no
+// precedent in this client: PageEditor directly constructs a
+// HocuspocusProviderWebsocket + IndexeddbPersistence, a tiptap `useEditor` with
+// collab extensions, reads jotai atoms, react-router params, the shared
+// `queryClient` from main.tsx, i18n, and mounts ~12 editor menu children. Worse,
+// the static->live swap (`showStatic` -> false) is gated on
+// `isCollabSynced(status, isLocalSynced && isRemoteSynced)`, which can only flip
+// by driving the mocked collab provider's async sync callbacks. The heaviest
+// component-test precedent in the repo (comment-hover-preview.test.tsx) mounts a
+// single leaf component with ONE mocked query; nothing mounts a feature root of
+// this weight. Reproducing all of that would test the mocks, not the wiring.
+//
+// So this file tests the REAL `useScrollRestoreOnSwap` hook — the exact code
+// PageEditor imports and calls — driving its `showStatic`/`editor` inputs the way
+// the swap does. Because it exercises the real hook (not a copy), dropping the
+// `&& editor` guard or changing the effect deps makes these tests fail; they
+// guard the production code directly (verified: removing `&& editor` reddens the
+// first test).
+//
+// Both tests observe the real effect via `window.scrollTo`. Restore is NOT
+// synchronous: it waits for the document height to settle (HEIGHT_STABLE_MS)
+// before scrolling, so the tests use fake timers and advance them with a steady,
+// reachable height to let the wait fire. The stubbed `window.scrollTo` never

+ * Regression test for issue #298: page/space export (Markdown/HTML) crashes on
+ * pages that contain inline comments.
+ *
+ * The in-process MCP module injects a jsdom `global.window` + `global.document`
+ * into the Node server (see packages/mcp/src/lib/collaboration.ts). Before the
+ * fix, the comment mark's `renderHTML` guard was only
+ * `typeof window === "undefined" || typeof document === "undefined"`, so with
+ * BOTH jsdom globals present it took the interactive browser branch and returned
+ * a LIVE jsdom <span> node. The export path serializes via happy-dom's
+ * DOMSerializer, and appending a foreign jsdom node crashed happy-dom
+ * ("Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')").
+ *
+ * We reproduce the MCP-loaded server by injecting jsdom globals, then export a
+ * doc containing a comment mark and assert the serialization SUCCEEDS and emits
+ * the expected serializable <span data-comment-id=... class="comment-mark">.
+ *
+ * Non-vacuity: this test only exercises the buggy branch because BOTH jsdom
+ * `window` AND `document` are set below. If the `isNodeRuntime` condition is
+ * removed from the guard in packages/editor-ext/src/lib/comment/comment.ts,
+ * `renderHTML` returns a live jsdom node and `jsonToHtml` throws — this test
+ * then fails. (In a plain node env without the injected globals the guard's
+ * `typeof window === "undefined"` clause already short-circuits, so it is the
+ * injected globals that make this assertion meaningful.)

+# Running a local dev stand
+
+How to bring up a working local instance (API + client + realtime collaboration)
+and the non-obvious gotchas that will otherwise eat an hour. Written from real
+setup pain — read the **Gotchas** section before you start.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **Node 20+ / pnpm 10+.**
+- **Postgres with pgvector.** Use the `pgvector/pgvector` image (e.g.
+  `pgvector/pgvector:pg18`). The stock `postgres` image will FAIL the
+  `CREATE EXTENSION vector` migration — the RAG feature stores embeddings in
+  `page_embeddings`.
+- **Redis** — backs caching, BullMQ queues, the Socket.IO adapter, and collab
+  sync.
+
+## 1. Environment (`.env`)
+
+The client (`apps/client/vite.config.ts`) and both server processes read env via
+`envPath` → the **workspace root `.env`**. Keep a single source of truth. Minimum:
+
+```dotenv
+APP_URL=http://localhost:3000
+PORT=3000
+APP_SECRET=<one long secret — SAME value everywhere, see gotcha #3>
+DATABASE_URL="postgresql://<user>:<pass>@localhost:5432/<db>?schema=public"
+REDIS_URL=redis://127.0.0.1:6379
+COLLAB_URL=http://localhost:3001      # where the CLIENT connects for realtime
+COLLAB_PORT=3001                      # where the COLLAB server listens
+STORAGE_DRIVER=local
+DISABLE_TELEMETRY=true
+```
+
+> If you also keep an `apps/server/.env`, its `APP_SECRET` **must match** the
+> root one (see gotcha #3).
+
+## 2. Migrations
+
+Migrations do **not** auto-run in local dev. After a fresh checkout or switching
+branches, apply them yourself or endpoints touching a new column/table will 500:
+
+```bash
+pnpm --filter server migration:latest
+```
+
+## 3. Bring it up — THREE processes, not two
+
+`pnpm dev` starts only the **API server** (Nest, `:3000`) and the **client**
+(Vite). Realtime collaboration is a **separate process** and `pnpm dev` does NOT
+start it. You need all three:
+
+```bash
+# 1) API + client (from the repo root)
+pnpm dev
+#    → API   http://localhost:3000
+#    → client http://localhost:5173  (Vite; localhost-only by default)
+
+# 2) Collaboration server — SEPARATE process. Build first (see gotcha #2), then:
+pnpm --filter server build          # produces dist/collaboration/server/collab-main.js
+pnpm collab:dev                     # node dist/.../collab-main → listens on :3001 (0.0.0.0)
+```
+
+Without step 2 the editor shows **"Real-time editor connection lost. Retrying…"**,
+stays in read-only *static* mode, and anything that only mounts in the *live*
+editor won't appear.
+
+## Seeding a login
+
+Register through the UI, or reset an existing user's password directly in the DB
+(the server hashes with `bcrypt`):
+
+```js
+// node -e '...'  with pg + bcrypt from the repo's node_modules
+const bcrypt = require("bcrypt");
+const { Client } = require("pg");
+(async () => {
+  const hash = await bcrypt.hash("demopass", 10);
+  const c = new Client({ /* DATABASE_URL parts */ });
+  await c.connect();
+  await c.query("update users set password=$1 where email=$2", [hash, "admin@example.com"]);
+  await c.end();
+})();
+```
+
+> **Use a simple one-word password with no special characters** (e.g. `demopass`,
+> not `Str0ng!Pass@2026`). Demo/test credentials get passed through shells, JSON
+> payloads, and URLs by scripts and automation, where `!` `@` `$` `&` etc. get
+> mangled or need escaping — a plain alphanumeric word avoids a whole class of
+> "wrong password" confusion.
+
+## Gotchas (the грабли)
+
+1. **Collaboration is a third process.** `pnpm dev` runs API + client only.
+   Start `pnpm collab:dev` (on `:3001`) separately or the live editor never
+   connects. The client connects to `COLLAB_URL` directly (default
+   `http://localhost:3001`), NOT through the Vite `/collab` proxy — the API
+   server on `:3000` does **not** serve the collab websocket.
+
+2. **The collab server must be built — you can't run it from source.**
+   `collab:dev` runs `node dist/collaboration/server/collab-main.js`, so run
+   `pnpm --filter server build` first. Running the entry via `tsx`/`ts-node`
+   fails with a NestJS DI error ("dependency … appears to be undefined at
+   runtime") because direct TS execution doesn't emit the decorator metadata the
+   built output has.
+
+3. **`APP_SECRET` must be identical for the API server and the collab server.**
+   The API issues a collab-token (JWT signed with `APP_SECRET`); the collab
+   server validates it with `APP_SECRET`. If they load different values (e.g. a
+   root `.env` and an `apps/server/.env` with different secrets), every realtime
+   connection is rejected with **`[onAuthenticate] Invalid collab token`** and
+   the editor shows "connection lost". Keep one secret everywhere.
+
+4. **Vite binds localhost only.** To reach the stand from another machine on the
+   LAN, start the client with `--host` (`pnpm --filter client exec vite --host`)
+   and use the box's LAN IP. The `/api`, `/socket.io`, and `/collab` Vite proxies
+   forward to `APP_URL`, so the API just works over the LAN; realtime needs
+   `COLLAB_URL` reachable from the browser (point it at the LAN IP:3001, and run
+   collab on `0.0.0.0` — it does by default).
+
+5. **A stale `@docmost/editor-ext` white-screens the client.** The client imports
+   from `@docmost/editor-ext` (a workspace package). If that package's source is
+   behind (missing a newer export, e.g. `Spoiler`), the client dies at load with
+   *"The requested module … does not provide an export named 'Spoiler'"* → blank
+   page. Make sure the workspace `packages/editor-ext` is current for the branch
+   you're running (a stale sibling checkout resolved through a shared
+   `node_modules` symlink is the usual cause).
+
+6. **pgvector, not stock postgres** (see Prerequisites) — the `vector` extension
+   migration fails otherwise.
+
+7. **Migrations don't auto-run in dev** — run `migration:latest` after every pull
+   or branch switch.
+
+See also the **Commands** and **Architecture → Two server processes** sections in
+[`AGENTS.md`](../AGENTS.md).
