…ale state (#341)

- Create.razor & Edit.razor: CategoryId is now required only when IsPublished
  is true. Asterisk and 'required when publishing' hint are rendered
  conditionally. Drafts may be saved without a category.
- Create.razor & Edit.razor: track _categoriesLoadFailed; surface load error via
  _error and block publish submit when categories could not be loaded.
- Categories/List/Index.razor LoadAsync: clear _error on success and reset
  _categories = [] on failure to prevent stale UI state.

…for General category (#341)

The General category is seeded via ReplaceOneAsync with IsUpsert=true.
Updated three log strings so they accurately reflect the actual upsert
behavior:
- Invocation log: 'inserting seed data' → 'upserting General category and inserting blog posts'
- Completion log: '1 category + N post(s) inserted' → '1 category upserted + N post(s) inserted'
- Result message: 'categories: 1 inserted (General)' → 'categories: 1 upserted (General)'

🛑 PR GATE — BLOCKED by Aragorn (Lead)

Self-authored PR: GitHub disallows a request-changes review on your own PR, so this verdict is posted as a comment per the self-authored PR gate workflow. Treat as authoritative blocker.

CI is green and all suites pass. However, two real logic bugs flagged by GitHub Copilot's automated review in src/Web/Features/BlogPosts/Edit/Edit.razor must be fixed before merge (Aragorn critical rule #8 — Copilot bug findings are non-discretionary).

Blocking issues

  1. Edit.razor_categoriesLoadFailed is never reset on subsequent loads (OnParametersSetAsync, ~L115).
    OnParametersSetAsync clears _model, _error, _concurrencyError, _isLoading, but never resets _categoriesLoadFailed or _categories. If a transient categories fetch fails on first navigation, the failure UI and publish-block persist across later successful re-navigations to the same component.

    • Fix: At the start of OnParametersSetAsync, set _categoriesLoadFailed = false; and _categories = [];. Set _categoriesLoadFailed = false; on the success branch too (defensive).
  2. Edit.razor — Publish guard over-blocks already-categorized posts (~L184).
    if (_model.IsPublished && (_categoriesLoadFailed || _model.CategoryId is null)) blocks save whenever the category list failed to load — even when the existing post already has a non-null CategoryId, in which case publishing requires no list at all.

    • Fix: Only block when a category is genuinely required, e.g. if (_model.IsPublished && _model.CategoryId is null), and tailor the error message. The list-load failure should only block when CategoryId is null (user must choose).

Verify same patterns in Create.razor

Create.razor has the same publish-guard shape (~L135). On Create, CategoryId is always null until user picks, so the over-block doesn't manifest — but keep the two files aligned after refactoring Edit.

Non-blocking (acknowledged)

  • Codecov: project 79.52% (passing), patch 25% — gap is in the new Razor branches. Both codecov/patch and codecov/project status checks are green, so the coverage gate is satisfied. A bUnit test covering (a) failed categories load + already-categorized published post, and (b) reset-on-renavigate, would be welcomed alongside the fix.
  • Reviewer coverage: changes touch UI (Legolas), tests rename only (Gimli — covered), AppHost log wording (Sam — trivial), .squad/ docs (Frodo — covered). Only UI fix remains; Legolas owns it.

Routing per playbook (lockout)

PR author is locked out of this revision cycle. Routing fix to Legolas (UI / Razor owner). Push corrections to the same branch squad/341-category-polish and comment when ready for re-review. CI must re-pass before re-review.

🛑 Routing correction — strict lockout enforcement (Aragorn)

My prior comment routed the fix back to Legolas, who authored the rejected Edit.razor slice. That violates the strict reviewer-protocol lockout: the original author of a rejected artifact may not produce its next revision. Retracting that routing.

Eligibility analysis (Edit.razor revision)

Agent Razor-capable Eligible Reason
Legolas ✅ Owner Locked out — authored the rejected artifact
Aragorn Charter: "Does NOT write Blazor UI components — Legolas owns UI"
Sam 🟡 Cross-skilled (.NET / Razor) 🟡 conditional Backend by charter; can author Razor as a cross-domain assist if explicitly authorized
Gimli 🟡 (bUnit only) ❌ for the fix Can author a regression bUnit test pinning the desired behavior, but not the Razor fix
Boromir / Gandalf / Frodo / Pippin / Bilbo Out of domain

Escalation — human owner decision required

No active agent has Razor UI as primary domain and is eligible for this revision cycle. Two acceptable paths; @mpaulosky to choose:

  1. Authorize Sam (cross-domain assist). Sam takes the Edit.razor revision under explicit one-off cross-domain authorization, and Gimli (in parallel, not locked out) authors a bUnit regression test pinning: (a) _categoriesLoadFailed resets across OnParametersSetAsync, and (b) publish is allowed when CategoryId is not null even if the category list later fails to load. Document the cross-domain assist in .squad/decisions/inbox/.
  2. Human owner takes the revision directly on squad/341-category-polish, with Gimli authoring the regression bUnit test in parallel.

Either way, Legolas remains locked out for this revision cycle. Re-review will be performed by Aragorn after CI re-passes. PR remains BLOCKED until the chosen owner pushes the fix.

…r-blocking

- Reset _categoriesLoadFailed and _categories at start of OnParametersSetAsync
  so stale failure UI does not persist across re-navigation to the edit page.
- Change publish guard to block only when _model.CategoryId is null, not when
  _categoriesLoadFailed is true; already-categorized published posts can now be
  saved even when the category list fails to reload.
- Helpful error message still distinguishes between a load failure and a missing
  selection, surfaced when the user actually tries to publish without a category.

Fixes blocker comments on PR #342 (issue #341).

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
- EditClearsCategoryLoadFailureAfterRenavigationToPostWhoseCategoriesLoad:
  verifies _categoriesLoadFailed is reset in OnParametersSetAsync on
  re-navigation so a prior failure banner does not persist.

- EditAllowsSaveOfPublishedPostThatAlreadyHasCategoryEvenWhenCategoryListFails:
  verifies the publish guard does not block an already-categorized post
  when the category list fails to load (guard must only check CategoryId).

- EditBlocksPublishWhenCategoryIdIsNullAndCategoryListFailed:
  guard-rail — verifies publishing is still blocked when CategoryId is
  null and no category list is available to select from.

Closes #341

PR GATE — APPROVED by Aragorn (Lead)

Re-gate after Sam's UI fix (8014e04) and Gimli's bUnit regression suite (a15444a).

Source verification

  • src/Web/Features/BlogPosts/Edit/Edit.razor OnParametersSetAsync now resets _categoriesLoadFailed = false; _categories = []; at the top of the method — stale-failure persistence blocker resolved.
  • Publish guard simplified to if (_model.IsPublished && _model.CategoryId is null) — over-blocking of already-categorized posts when category list reload fails resolved. Helpful error message still differentiates load-failure vs missing selection.

Regression coverage (Gimli, tests/Web.Tests.Bunit/Features/EditCategoryRegressionTests.cs)

  1. EditClearsCategoryLoadFailureAfterRenavigationToPostWhoseCategoriesLoad — guards stale failure flag.
  2. EditAllowsSaveOfPublishedPostThatAlreadyHasCategoryEvenWhenCategoryListFails — guards over-blocking.
  3. EditBlocksPublishWhenCategoryIdIsNullAndCategoryListFailed — guard-rail for the legitimate block path.

CI / signals

  • All required checks green after E2E flake re-run: build, Domain.Tests, Web.Tests, Web.Tests.Bunit (incl. 3 new regression tests), Architecture.Tests, Web.Tests.Integration, AppHost.Tests (Aspire + Playwright E2E), CodeQL, Coverage Analysis (83.2% ≥ 80%), markdownlint.
  • codecov/patch ✅ and codecov/project ✅ (project 80.14%). Codecov bot reports patch coverage 53.33% on the wider Sam/Legolas slice — both status checks pass; the uncovered branches are non-regression infrastructure paths and the two specific blocker behaviors are now covered.
  • Copilot automated review: original blocker findings addressed at source; no unresolved bug/security findings on the new commits.
  • E2E HomePage AuthenticatedView PageLoads failed once with a Playwright 30s timeout unrelated to the category Edit changes; passed cleanly on re-run (flake).

Self-authored PR gate

GitHub disallows --approve on the same account that authored the PR. This comment serves as the authoritative gate-pass per the documented self-authored PR workflow (Aragorn critical rule #7, PR #336 / #340 precedent).

Lockout note for the audit trail: Original UI artifact (Legolas) was locked out of this revision cycle; revision was authored by Sam under explicit one-off cross-domain authorization from the human owner, with Gimli authoring the parallel regression tests (Gimli was not lockout-affected). Eligibility check was run before routing.

Proceeding to squash-merge into dev. Closes #341.
