The #248 store-side empty-guard (onStoreDocument) unconditionally refuses to overwrite non-empty persisted content with an empty document, because a momentarily-empty live Y.Doc is indistinguishable from a real clear at the store layer. That correctly blocks glitches/bad-merges, but also blocks a user who genuinely wants to empty a page. This re-introduces a WORKING, narrow, non-spoofable exception (the dead context.intentionalClear hatch #248 removed never had a real channel). Definition of an intentional clear (client, IntentionalClear editor extension): a LOCAL user transaction (docChanged, NOT a remote y-sync change — filtered via isChangeOrigin) that reduces a non-empty doc to the empty single-paragraph shape. This is exactly the select-all + Delete/Backspace keystroke path. Transport (option b — hocuspocus stateless message): on that transition the client sends a `{type:'intentional-clear'}` stateless message. The server (PersistenceExtension.onStateless) records a short-lived (TTL 60s > 45s maxDebounce), single-use "pending clear" flag keyed by the connection's document. The next debounced onStoreDocument consumes it on the empty-guard branch to let that one empty write through. Why this is the right channel and non-spoofable: - Yjs transaction origin/metadata does not survive to the server store; awareness is per-connection and racy. A stateless message ties the signal to a specific clear, survives the debounce, and rides the authenticated connection. - The document is taken from the connection, never the payload, so a client cannot target another page. - The flag is read ONLY on the empty-over-non-empty branch, so the worst a forged signal can do is clear a page the connection may already edit; it can never force or alter a non-empty write. Read-only connections cannot arm it. Every non-empty store drops a pending flag, so "cleared then retyped" leaves nothing usable; the flag is single-use and TTL-bounded. NOTE: #248 is not yet on develop, so the empty-guard block is included here as the foundation this exception extends. If #248 lands first this rebases cleanly (the guard logic is identical; the #251-unique additions are the exception, onStateless, the pending-flag state, and the client extension). Tests: - Server (real transport path, not a hand-poke): onStateless sets the flag with the exact client payload, then the debounced onStoreDocument persists the empty doc; plus single-use consumption, read-only rejection, non-empty-store drops the flag, and the unchanged #248 guard tests (empty-over-non-empty blocked, empty-over-empty allowed). - Client: a real Editor + the actual selectAll+deleteSelection command emits the signal; typing / non-emptying edits / already-empty docs do not.
