Created detailed ASCII diagrams documenting the entire system architecture:
1. System Architecture (_go-learning/diagrams/01-system-architecture.md)
- Overall system architecture with client/server/storage layers
- Layered architecture (Presentation → Application → Business → Data)
- Component interaction and HTTP request flow
- Data flow from app start through per-request lifecycle
- Package dependencies and file organization
Changed tooltip text for fixed buttons to match action bar wording:
- Print button: "Print CV" → "Print Friendly"
- Download button: "Download PDF" → "Download as PDF"
This ensures consistency across all button locations (fixed left buttons,
action bar, and hamburger menu).
Changes:
- templates/partials/widgets/print-friendly-button.html: Updated tooltip text
- templates/partials/widgets/download-button.html: Updated tooltip text
The theme switcher and info button tooltips were appearing on the RIGHT
in mobile view instead of on TOP (like macOS Dock style) because they
didn't have the .fixed-btn class and weren't included in the mobile
media query rules.
Changes:
- static/css/04-interactive/_tooltips.css: Add .color-theme-switcher and
.info-button selectors to mobile @media (max-width: 900px) rules
- Now tooltips appear ABOVE these buttons on mobile with bottom: calc(100% + 8px)
Testing:
- Added mobile tooltip position test
- Verified theme switcher and info tooltips now positioned on top on mobile
- Desktop behavior unchanged (tooltips still on right)
Mobile tooltip positioning now consistent across ALL buttons:
✅ All bottom dock buttons show tooltips on TOP (macOS Dock style)
The theme switcher button was hidden above the viewport on desktop because
.has-tooltip's position: relative was overriding the button's position: fixed
due to CSS cascade order (_tooltips.css loaded after _themes.css).
Fixed by adding !important to .color-theme-switcher position: fixed rule.
Changes:
- static/css/01-foundation/_themes.css: Add !important to position: fixed
to override .has-tooltip position: relative cascade
Testing:
- Added comprehensive tooltip tests for all buttons (desktop & mobile)
- Verified theme switcher visible on desktop at correct position
- Verified all tooltips working on hover (desktop only, hidden on mobile touch)
- Verified button positioning in mobile bottom dock
All buttons now display correctly:
✅ Desktop: All 6 buttons with working tooltips
✅ Mobile: All 5 buttons in bottom dock
- Add has-tooltip class and data-tooltip to info button
- Add has-tooltip class and data-tooltip to color theme switcher
- Both buttons on LEFT side show tooltips on RIGHT
- Mobile: tooltips appear on TOP (like macOS Dock)
- Complete tooltip coverage for all action buttons
- Remove tooltip-left class from zoom and shortcuts buttons (all left-side buttons show tooltips on RIGHT)
- Add mobile CSS rules for fixed-btn tooltips to appear on TOP (like macOS Dock)
- Update button template comments to reflect correct positioning
- Mobile: All fixed buttons now show tooltips above (top position)
- Desktop: All left-side fixed buttons show tooltips on right
- Add tooltip classes to fixed download, print, zoom, shortcuts buttons
- Create comprehensive visual verification test
- Screenshots confirm all tooltips render correctly
- Dark semi-transparent tooltips with smooth fade+scale animation
- Left buttons show tooltips on RIGHT
- Right buttons show tooltips on LEFT
- Tests: 5/6 passed (download button test has timing bug but visual proof shows it works)
Complete middleware integration with comprehensive testing:
1. Middleware Integration
- Added PreferencesMiddleware to middleware chain in routes
- Order: Recovery → Logger → SecurityHeaders → Preferences → Mux
- Reads all preference cookies once per request
- Stores in context for handlers to access
2. Handler Updates
- cv_pages.go: Home handler uses middleware.GetPreferences()
- cv_htmx.go: All toggle handlers use middleware preferences
- Eliminated manual cookie reading in handlers
- Migration logic handled entirely by middleware
3. Comprehensive Middleware Tests
- Created preferences_test.go with 10+ test functions
- Tests: default values, migrations, cookie setting, context access
- Verified: extended→long, true→show, false→hide migrations
- All tests passing
Benefits:
- Performance: Cookies read once per request (not multiple times)
- Consistency: All handlers get same preference values
- Maintainability: Migration logic centralized in middleware
- Testability: Easy to mock preferences via context
Testing:
- All unit tests pass (handlers + middleware)
- Build succeeds
- No breaking changes
The action-bar containers had implicit overflow clipping which prevented
custom CSS tooltips from appearing outside the 50px height limit.
Added overflow:visible to:
- .action-bar (main container)
- .action-bar-content (content wrapper)
- .action-buttons-right (button container)
This allows tooltips to properly extend beyond the action bar boundaries.
Five complementary improvements to handler layer:

PDF tests require Chrome browser and are run manually before releases.
- Replace chromedp.Flag() with chromedp.NoSandbox
- Replace chromedp.Flag() with chromedp.DisableGPU
- Apply fix to both GenerateFromURL and GenerateFromURLWithOptions
- Fixes Ubuntu 23.10+ AppArmor sandbox restrictions
The chromedp.Flag() method wasn't properly disabling the sandbox, causing
Chrome to crash with 'No usable sandbox!' fatal error in CI.
Tests verify both light and dark theme patterns:
- Light: #d6d6d6 gray with concentric squares pattern
- Dark: #3a3a3a gray with diagonal green grid pattern
- Auto theme switches patterns based on system preference
- Pattern persistence when switching themes
- Visual screenshots for manual verification
All 5 tests passing ✅
Light theme:
- Change background from #b8bbbe to #d6d6d6 (light gray)
- Add concentric squares pattern with 4 gradient layers
- Creates subtle geometric texture on gray background
Dark theme:
- Change background from rgb(82, 86, 89) to #3a3a3a (medium gray)
- Add diagonal grid pattern with green glow (rgba(0, 255, 128, 0.15))
- 45deg and -45deg crosshatch creates retro tech aesthetic
Both patterns use CSS custom properties (--page-bg-pattern) and are
applied via background-image in _reset.css. Patterns are fixed and
maintain visibility across theme switches.
- Configure chromedp with headless mode and CI-friendly flags
- Add --no-sandbox flag (required for Docker/CI environments)
- Add --disable-gpu and --disable-dev-shm-usage for stability
- Use NewExecAllocator with DefaultExecAllocatorOptions
This fixes 'chrome failed to start' errors in GitHub Actions CI where
Chrome needs to run without a display and with relaxed sandbox restrictions.
- Add findDataFile() helper to search up directory tree for data files
- Fixes tests running from subdirectories (internal/handlers)
- Install Chrome in GitHub Actions for PDF generation tests
This resolves test failures that have existed since PDF tests were introduced:
- Error: 'open data/cv-es.json: no such file or directory'
- Error: 'chrome failed to start'
Tests now properly locate data files from any working directory and
have Chrome available for PDF generation in CI environment.
- Reorder cards: Short → Default ⭐ → Extended (was Short → Extended → Default)
- Add cleanup to prevent stuck blur effect on modal reopen
- Use MutationObserver to reset loading state when modal opens
- Add close event listener to clear loading-active class
Fixes:
1. Default CV now displays in center position as intended
2. Modal no longer shows grey/faded content due to stuck loading-active class
**TESTING** - These patterns can be easily reverted or modified
Light Theme (Woven Fabric Pattern):
- Subtle gray crosshatch pattern
- Multiple gradients creating woven texture
- Professional and clean appearance
Dark Theme (Diagonal Grid with Green Glow):
- 45° and -45° diagonal lines
- Green glow (rgba(0, 255, 128, 0.1))
- Cyberpunk/tech aesthetic
- 40px grid spacing
Implementation:
- Added --page-bg-pattern CSS variables to color-theme.css
- Applied patterns via body background-image in _reset.css
- OLD pattern commented out and preserved for easy restoration
- Patterns work with light, dark, and auto themes
Files changed:
- static/css/color-theme.css: Added pattern variables
- static/css/01-foundation/_reset.css: Applied patterns to body
To revert: Uncomment old pattern and remove --page-bg-pattern usage
**Test 3 Updated**: Shortcut URL behavior changed
- OLD: Expected HTTP 301 redirect to /export/pdf
- NEW: Expects HTTP 200 with direct PDF and Content-Disposition header
- Verifies correct filename: cv-jamr-2025-{lang}.pdf
**Test 6 Added**: Language switching links
- Tests "See this CV in Spanish/English" links
- Verifies URL correctness (/?lang=es and /?lang=en)
- Ensures no URL corruption from replaceYearPlaceholder fix
- Checks target="_blank" attribute
- Tests both English → Spanish and Spanish → English links
All 6 tests passing:
✅ EN Direct Shortcut URL
✅ ES Direct Shortcut URL
✅ Shortcut URL Direct Download (updated)
✅ Year Validation
✅ No JavaScript Required
✅ Language Switching Links (new)
**Issue 1: URL corruption in "See this CV in..." links**
- Bug: replaceYearPlaceholder used fmt.Sprintf on ALL URLs
- URLs like "/?lang=es" were corrupted to "/?lang=es%!(EXTRA string=2025)"
- Fix: Changed to strings.ReplaceAll("{{YEAR}}", year)
- Result: Only replaces actual {{YEAR}} placeholders, leaves other URLs intact
**Issue 2: Download filename not respected**
- Bug: Shortcut URLs (cv-jamr-2025-en.pdf) redirected with HTTP 301
- Browsers used original URL filename instead of Content-Disposition header
- Fix: Generate PDF directly in DefaultCVShortcut handler
- Result: Returns PDF with correct filename in Content-Disposition header
Files changed:
- internal/models/cv.go: Fixed replaceYearPlaceholder function
- internal/handlers/cv.go: Changed redirect to direct PDF generation
