	Bookmarks Feature Implementation Summary
✅ Completed Components
Core Layer (src/core/bookmarks/)
1. Types & Interfaces (types.ts)
- BookmarkType: Union type for all bookmark types (group, file, search, folder, heading, block)
 - BookmarkNode: Discriminated union of all bookmark types
 - BookmarksDoc: Main document structure with items array and optional rev
 - BookmarkTreeNode: Helper type for tree traversal
 - AccessStatus: Connection status (connected, disconnected, read-only)
 - ConflictInfo: Structure for conflict detection data
 
2. Repository Layer (bookmarks.repository.ts)
Three adapters implementing IBookmarksRepository:
A. FsAccessRepository (File System Access API)
- Uses browser's native directory picker
 - Direct read/write to 
<vault>/.obsidian/bookmarks.json - Persists handle in IndexedDB for auto-reconnect
 - Atomic writes with temp file strategy
 - Full read/write permission handling
 
B. ServerBridgeRepository (Express backend)
- HTTP-based communication with server
 - Endpoints: GET/PUT 
/api/vault/bookmarks - Optimistic concurrency with If-Match headers
 - 409 Conflict detection
 
C. InMemoryRepository (Fallback)
- Session-only storage
 - Read-only demo mode
 - Alerts user to connect vault for persistence
 
Factory Function: createRepository() auto-selects best adapter
3. Service Layer (bookmarks.service.ts)
Angular service with Signals-based state management:
State Signals:
doc(): Current bookmarks documentfilteredDoc(): Filtered by search termflatTree(): Flattened tree for renderingstats(): Computed counts (total, groups, items)selectedNode(): Currently selected bookmarkisDirty(): Unsaved changes flagsaving(),loading(): Operation statuserror(): Error messagesaccessStatus(): Connection statuslastSaved(): Timestamp of last saveconflictInfo(): External change detection
Operations:
connectVault(): Initiate File System Access flowloadFromRepository(): Load from persistent storagesaveNow(): Immediate savecreateGroup(),createFileBookmark(): Add new itemsupdateBookmark(),deleteBookmark(): Modify/removemoveBookmark(): Reorder itemsimportBookmarks(),exportBookmarks(): JSON import/exportresolveConflictReload(),resolveConflictOverwrite(): Conflict resolution
Auto-save: Debounced (800ms) when dirty and connected
4. Utilities (bookmarks.utils.ts)
Tree Operations:
cloneBookmarksDoc(),cloneNode(): Deep cloningfindNodeByCtime(): Tree search by unique IDaddNode(),removeNode(),updateNode(): CRUD operationsmoveNode(): Reordering with descendant validationflattenTree(): Convert tree to flat list for renderingfilterTree(): Search/filter by term
Validation:
validateBookmarksDoc(): Schema validation with detailed errorsensureUniqueCTimes(): Fix duplicate timestamps
JSON Handling:
parseBookmarksJSON(): Safe parsing with validationformatBookmarksJSON(): Pretty-print for readabilitycalculateRev(): Simple hash for conflict detection
Helpers:
generateCtime(): Unique timestamp generationcountNodes(): Recursive statistics
UI Components (src/components/)
1. BookmarksPanelComponent
Main container component with:
- Header: Title, connection status, search input, action buttons
 - Actions: "Add Group", "Add Bookmark", "Import", "Export", "Connect Vault"
 - Body: Scrollable tree view or empty/error states
 - Footer: Stats display, connection indicator, last saved time
 - Modals: Connect vault modal, conflict resolution dialog
 
Responsive Design:
- Desktop: Full-width panel (320-400px)
 - Mobile: Full-screen drawer with sticky actions
 
2. BookmarkItemComponent
Individual tree node with:
- Icon: Emoji based on type (📂 group, 📄 file, etc.)
 - Text: Title or path fallback
 - Badge: Item count for groups
 - Context Menu: Edit, Move Up/Down, Delete
 - Indentation: Visual hierarchy with 
level * 20px - Hover Effects: Show context menu button
 - Expand/Collapse: For groups
 
Server Integration (server/index.mjs)
New Endpoints:
GET  /api/vault/bookmarks        // Read bookmarks.json + rev
PUT  /api/vault/bookmarks        // Write with conflict detection
Features:
- Creates 
.obsidian/directory if missing - Returns empty 
{ items: [] }if file doesn't exist - Simple hash function for 
revcalculation - If-Match header support for optimistic concurrency
 - 409 Conflict response when rev mismatch
 
Application Integration (src/app.component.ts)
Changes:
- Added 
'bookmarks'to activeView type union - Imported 
BookmarksPanelComponent - Added bookmarks navigation button (desktop sidebar + mobile grid)
 - Added bookmarks view case in switch statement
 
UI Updates:
- Desktop: New bookmark icon in left nav (📑)
 - Mobile: New "Favoris" button in 5-column grid
 - View switching preserves sidebar state
 
Styling
TailwindCSS Classes:
- Full dark mode support via 
dark:variants - Responsive layouts with 
lg:breakpoints - Hover/focus states for accessibility
 - Smooth transitions and animations
 - Custom scrollbar styling
 
Theme Integration:
- Respects existing 
ThemeService darkclass on<html>element toggles styles- Consistent with existing component palette

# Navigate to Bookmarks view (bookmark icon)
# Click "Connect Vault" to select Obsidian folder
With Server Backend
npm run build
node server/index.mjs
# Open http://localhost:4000
# Bookmarks automatically use vault/.obsidian/bookmarks.json
Testing
# Run unit tests (when configured)
ng test
# Manual testing checklist:
# 1. Connect vault ✓
# 2. Create group ✓
# 3. Add bookmark ✓
# 4. Edit title ✓
# 5. Delete item ✓
# 6. Search filter ✓
# 7. Open Obsidian → verify changes
# 8. Modify in Obsidian → reload ObsiViewer
# 9. Create conflict → resolve
# 10. Export → Import → verify
💡 Design Decisions
1. Why Signals over RxJS?
- Angular 20 best practice: Signals are the modern reactive primitive
 - Simpler mental model: No subscription management
 - Better performance: Fine-grained reactivity
 - Computed values: Automatic dependency tracking
 
2. Why File System Access API?
- Direct file access: No server required
 - True sync: No upload/download dance
 - Browser security: User explicitly grants permission
 - PWA-ready: Works offline with granted access
 
3. Why repository pattern?
- Flexibility: Swap adapters based on environment
 - Testability: Easy to mock for unit tests
 - Progressive enhancement: Start with in-memory, upgrade to persistent
 - Future-proof: Could add WebDAV, Dropbox, etc.
 
4. Why debounced auto-save?
- UX: No manual save button required
 - Performance: Reduces file writes
 - Reliability: Still allows immediate save
 - Conflict reduction: Fewer concurrent writes
 
5. Why ctime as ID?
- Obsidian compatibility: Obsidian uses ctime
 - Uniqueness: Millisecond precision sufficient
 - Portability: Works across systems
 - Simple: No UUID generation needed
 
🐛 Known Issues
- 
Firefox/Safari incompatibility: File System Access API not supported
- Workaround: Use Server Bridge mode
 
 - 
Permission prompt on every load: Some browsers don't persist
- Workaround: IndexedDB storage helps but not guaranteed
 
 - 
Context menu z-index: May appear behind other elements
- Fix needed: Adjust z-index in SCSS
 
 - 
No visual feedback during save: Spinner shows but no success toast
- Enhancement: Add toast notification component
 
 - 
Mobile: Menu buttons too small: Touch targets under 44px
- Fix needed: Increase padding on mobile
