A save made while the connection blips for a few seconds is retried rather than reverted: the request layer keeps trying a network failure for a fifteen-second window, waking the instant the OS reports a link again, and only falls back to the existing error path if the drop outlasts it. A quiet "reconnecting" pill appears if the wait passes about a second, and leaves the moment it heals — so a two-second blip is felt as nothing at all. This is deliberately not offline mode: the app is a live view of a shared list, so there is no cache to work in with no server and no write log to reconcile. It is only the blip, ridden out. A server error (4xx/5xx) is the server answering and is not retried; an aborted request (a superseded search) is left to propagate. Kristian: an offline function for when the net drops for short periods, seconds. Shared items stay server-authoritative — nothing is edited against a stale copy for longer than the blip.

The SvelteKit PWA. Not written yet — this directory holds its place so the Docker build has something to copy, and so the frontend stage can tell "not built yet" apart from "the build failed".
The Dockerfile builds this directory when it finds a package.json here, and
otherwise emits a placeholder page. So adding the real app is exactly: put a
SvelteKit project in this directory whose npm run build produces build/.
What it needs to be
- SvelteKit,
adapter-static, output inbuild/. The Go binary embeds that directory at compile time and serves it, falling back toindex.htmlso client-side routes survive a reload. - A PWA: installable, offline reading of already-cached lists, swipe gestures for complete and schedule.
- Nordic minimalism. Dark by default, light available. One accent colour, everything else neutral. Runic mark for Verdande.
- Optimistic on every local action. No spinner ever appears for something the browser could already know the answer to.
Talking to the backend
Same origin — the Go binary serves both. /api/v1 for REST, /api/v1/ws for the
live sync. Session cookie is httpOnly, so the frontend never handles the token
itself.
During development, run the backend on 8080 and point the Vite dev server's proxy at it:
VERDANDE_DATA_DIR=./data VERDANDE_DEV=true go run ./cmd/verdande
