1. Native Typst PDF Compilation

• Status: In Development (src-tauri via typst & typst-pdf crates)
• Goal: Completely replacing web-based HTML print rendering with instantaneous, publication-grade academic PDF typesetting powered directly by the native Typst compiler.

Key Milestones:

1. Direct AST Mapping: Compiling Markdown AST elements into semantic Typst markup.
2. Academic Layouts: Automated page numbering, margins, footnotes, and Devanagari typography cascades.
3. No Heavy Chromium/Node Dependencies: Lightweight, cross-platform binary builds.

2. In-Editor Live IME (Stage 2 of Sanskrit Hybrid Framework)

• Status: Planned / Architecture documented in Sanskrit Input Architecture
• Goal: Context-aware real-time transliteration directly inside the CodeMirror 6 editor without switching operating system keyboard layouts.

Planned Stages:

• Stage 1 (Canonical Storage): ✅ Active — Markdown source always persists standard IAST or Unicode Devanāgarī.
• Stage 2 (In-Editor Live IME): 📋 Planned
  • Scope-Based Live IME: While typing inside Sanskrit brackets (《...》 or ⟪...⟫), ASCII Harvard-Kyoto (kRSNaH) is converted to IAST (kṛṣṇaḥ) or Devanāgarī (कृष्णः) in real time.
  • Compose Sequences: Fast inline character sequences in running prose (.r => ṛ, -a => ā, ~n => ñ, etc.).
• Stage 3 (Post-Hoc Transliteration): ✅ Active — Global shortcuts ⌥⌘D and ⌥⌘H for selection toggling.

NOTE

OS Keyboard Compatibility: Direct input via OS keyboards (such as EasyUnicode or Mac Option-keys) is always passed through unmodified and will never be constrained by Stage 2.

3. Knowledge Graph & Bidirectional Wikilinks

• Status: Backlog (temporarily deactivated in active UI to reduce bundle size by ~600 kB)
• Components: src/components/GraphView.vue, src-tauri/src/db.rs (SQLite Workspace Indexer)

Planned Enhancements upon Re-Activation:

1. Editor Autocomplete for Wikilinks ([[): Fuzzy document search popup when typing [[ in CodeMirror.
2. Direct Source Code Navigation (Cmd+Click): Instant jumping to linked target files.
3. Backlinks Inspector: Dedicated sidebar panel for incoming cross-references.
4. Graph Filters & Orphan Detection: Isolate unlinked notes and filter by tags or folders.

---

4. Dual PDF QA & Proofing (Work-Mode 3)

• Status: Backlog / Conceived
• Goal: Comprehensive side-by-side collation and AI-assisted proofing of re-typeset editions against historical reference PDFs.

Planned Stages:

1. Normalized Overlay & Bounding Boxes: Click-and-drag box annotations on rendered SVG vector pages (hayro_svg) with relative percentage coordinates.
2. Web-First AI Prompt Generator: 1-click clipboard prompt containing source Markdown and structured correction table for Claude/ChatGPT/Gemini Web.
3. Annotated PDF Export & Automation: Direct export of flattened PDF with visual annotations and optional local Ollama diff-patching.

5. Synoptic Master-JSON Editor (Work-Mode 2)

• Status: Backlog / Conceived (Inspired by the Bṛhadāraṇyaka-Upaniṣad edition project)
• Goal: Segmented, split-pane editing of scanned historical editions (book.json / AST format) without requiring error-prone manual TEI-XML markup.

Planned Features:

1. Split-Pane Scan Alignment: Synchronized historical PDF scan on the left, structured segment entry on the right.
2. Field-Based Segments: Dedicated inputs for Devanāgarī, IAST, translations, critical variants (Slaje vs. Böhtlingk), and philological commentary.
3. Automated Export Pipeline: Native Rust compilation from Master-JSON into standard TEI-P5 XML and Typst-PDF.

---

6. DOCX Interoperability & CriticMarkup (Word Bridge)

• Status: Backlog / Conceived
• Goal: Lossless bridge to Microsoft Word-centric academic publishers and reviewers under a strict Plain Text First doctrine.

Architecture:

• Plain Text as Canon: Markdown is the persistent Single Source of Truth. .docx is strictly an ingest and export format.
• DOCX Ingest: Automatic Rust/Pandoc conversion removing Word XML styling, normalizing Unicode diacritics, mapping footnotes to [^1], and converting native Word Track Changes to CriticMarkup ({++inserted++}, {--deleted--}).
• Scholarly Export Template: Compilation to .docx using a pre-configured reference template guaranteeing correct academic font hierarchies (Gentium Plus, Noto Serif Devanagari).
• In-Editor CriticMarkup: Visual rendering of inline edits and comments in CodeMirror 6 with 1-click accept/reject controls.
