pagination left margin click architecture

Objective: Create a user-review-ready Slate Plan for the pagination left-margin click bug: clicking beside a wrapped continuation line must place the caret at that visual line start, not the previous line end, not block start, not restored selection, and not table-tail content. The lane runs one pass per activation and stays pending until issue/reference accounting, regression proof, and closure gates are complete.

Goal plan: docs/plans/2026-05-29-pagination-left-margin-click-architecture.md

Template: docs/plans/templates/slate-plan.md

Primary template: docs/plans/templates/slate-plan.md

Applied packs:

• none

Completion threshold:

• Score >= 0.92, no dimension below 0.85.
• Every pass row complete or intentionally skipped with evidence.
• The plan names the accepted shared hit-testing owner, regression tests, issue/reference accounting, .tmp/slate-v2 verification gates, and final user-review handoff.
• node .agents/rules/autogoal/scripts/check-complete.mjs docs/plans/2026-05-29-pagination-left-margin-click-architecture.md passes only during the closure pass.

Verification surface:

• Planning checks run in plate-2.
• Slate v2 behavior/source claims must cite .tmp/slate-v2.
• Execution proof must run from .tmp/slate-v2:
  • bun --filter slate-react test -- slate-string-coordinate-placement root-interaction-resolver use-slate-root-chrome
  • focused Chromium pagination rows covering staged and virtualized left wrapped-line margin clicks, right wrapped-line margin clicks, first-page margin/corner no-jump, and fresh single-layout corner no-jump
  • bun --filter slate-react typecheck
  • bun lint:fix
  • bun --filter slate-react build
  • dirty-local autoreview from .tmp/slate-v2 if execution changes code

Constraints:

• Planning mode may edit only planning/research/issue/reference artifacts.
• No .tmp/slate-v2 implementation patch in this activation.
• Best long-term owner wins over a pagination-only patch.
• Raw Slate stays unopinionated; pagination is an example/layout stress surface, not a core product API.

Boundaries:

• Allowed planning edit scope: docs/plans/**, docs/research/**, docs/slate-issues/**, docs/slate-v2/ledgers/**, docs/slate-v2/references/**.
• Execution scope, after user acceptance: .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/src/editable/root-interaction-controller.ts, .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/src/editable/slate-string-coordinate-placement.ts, focused slate-react tests, and .tmp/slate-v2/playwright/integration/examples/pagination.test.ts.
• Do not change pagination content fixtures or mask the bug by moving margins.

Blocked condition:

• Block only if the browser bug cannot be reproduced and no source/test gap remains actionable. That is not the case now.

Slate Plan lane state:

• slate_plan_lane_status: complete
• current_pass: closure-score-final-gates
• current_pass_status: complete
• next_pass: none
• next_action: none
• final_handoff_status: complete

Current verdict:

• verdict: user-review-ready planning lane closed; execute only after explicit acceptance
• confidence: 0.925 after closure score and final gates
• keep / cut / revise call: revise the line-edge hit-testing contract
• reason: The fresh root-end jump is fixed, but the new video shows the shared coordinate placement still lacks a wrapped visual-line-start invariant.

Completion rule:

• Do not call update_goal(status: complete) while any required checklist item remains unchecked.
• Closure is legal only in the closure score/final gates pass.
• This activation completed pass 12 and closes the planning goal if check-complete passes.

Completion Gates:

Gate	Applies	Required action	Evidence
Named verification threshold	yes	Close planning threshold; leave implementation proof queued for accepted-plan execution	Score 0.923, every planning pass row closed, issue/reference sync closed, and .tmp/slate-v2 proof gates named for execution.
Slate v2 source/runtime/browser claim	yes	Record live .tmp/slate-v2 source proof and separate browser-proof gaps from execution proof	Current source/test owners are cited; exact Playwright/unit/type/lint/build gates are queued for accepted-plan execution from .tmp/slate-v2.

Phase / pass table:

Phase	Status	Evidence	Next
Current-state read and initial score	complete	video frame, live root interaction source, current pagination tests, research/ledger entrypoints read	related issue discovery
Related issue discovery	complete	Read existing generated/manual ledgers, ran bounded gitcrawl archive search, hydrated candidate threads, and found no exact upstream issue to claim fixed.	issue-ledger pass
Issue-ledger pass	complete	Read live ledger rows, v2 sync notes, coverage matrix, fork dossier, PR reference, and test-candidate maps. Decision: no shared ledger/reference mutation yet; this plan adds no fixed/improved claim and existing rows already classify the touched issues.	intent/boundary pass
Intent/boundary and decision brief	complete	Re-read live useSlateRootChrome, root interaction resolver/controller, string coordinate placement, package tests, and pagination Playwright rows. Decision: public API unchanged, internal slate-react line-edge hit testing is the owner, pagination example stays a stress fixture.	research refresh
Research, ecosystem strategy, live-source refresh	complete	Re-read ProseMirror coordinate bridge source, React ProseMirror wrapped-line/RTL roundtrip tests, Tiptap Pages limitations, Pretext pagination research, live Slate v2 coordinate code, and Evidence Kit benchmark registry/health. Decision: steal central coordinate bridge and roundtrip test discipline, not ProseMirror's public model or Tiptap's CSS-float pagination.	pressure passes
Performance/DX/migration/regression/simplicity pressure passes	complete	Applied Vercel React, performance-oracle, performance, and TDD lenses against live Slate v2 hit-testing code. Decision: keep public API unchanged, require single-pass bounded coordinate scan, add vertical TDD browser/unit proof, and include drag anchoring guardrails if execution changes projected drag seeding.	objection ledger
Slate maintainer objection ledger	complete	Answered maintainability, browser fallback, public API, performance, nested root, RTL/grapheme, drag, collaboration, test brittleness, issue-claim, and simplicity objections with live Slate v2 and ProseMirror evidence. Decision: continue with internal bounded coordinate owner and no public API.	high-risk pass
High-risk deliberate mode	complete	Deliberately attacked geometry targeting, virtualization/remounting, drag anchoring, complexity, RTL/grapheme coverage, stale PR issue claims, and browser-test false positives. Decision: same-fragment left/right browser proof, bounded virtualized DOM precondition, source complexity guard, conditional drag proof, and no issue claim until execution sync.	ecosystem maintainer pass
Ecosystem maintainer pass	complete	Re-checked ProseMirror, React ProseMirror, Lexical, Tiptap Pages, Pretext, TanStack Virtual, and Plate/slate-yjs migration boundaries. Decision: steal coordinate ownership, native-event lifecycle discipline, test shapes, layout/virtualization boundaries, and failure taxonomy only; reject every external public model/API as a Slate architecture import.	revision pass
Revision pass	complete	Consolidated all review passes into a user-review-ready execution queue, proof matrix, no-API decision, issue/reference sync plan, and final handoff outline. Decision: plan is architecturally ready for issue-sync accounting and closure, not implementation under the planning goal.	issue sync accounting
Issue sync accounting	complete	Re-read generated live rows, manual sync ledger, issue coverage matrix, fork dossier, cluster maps, package-impact/requirements files, and PR reference. Decision: no external ledger/reference mutation; existing rows already keep #5944 related/issue-reviewed, #5924 not claimed, #5524/#1498/focus-scroll neighbors related only, and fixed floors preserve-only.	closure score and final gates
Closure score and final gates	complete	Audited every completion requirement: all scheduled planning passes complete, score threshold met, issue/reference sync closed, live source and browser-proof gaps recorded, final handoff written, and check-complete scheduled in this closure pass.	none

Scorecard:

Dimension	Weight	Score	Evidence
React 19.2 runtime performance	0.20	0.92	Final queue keeps the hot path event/ref-only, active-root scoped, single-pass over mounted string rects, and chosen-string-only for character geometry. No React state, effects, or scheduler dependency.
Slate-close unopinionated DX	0.20	0.94	Public API remains useSlateRootChrome(root, { disabled, selection }); no page-margin hook, no pagination adapter, no product policy in raw Slate.
Plate and slate-yjs migration backbone	0.15	0.91	Plate inherits shared Slate React behavior; slate-yjs receives normal model selection only. Layout metrics, page breaks, and coordinates stay out of collaboration ops.
Regression-proof testing strategy	0.20	0.92	Final queue requires vertical red-green proof: staged wrapped-left red row, package geometry/unit proof, virtualized bounded-DOM row, same-fragment right edge, no-jump corners, and conditional drag proof.
Research evidence completeness	0.15	0.93	Current plan cites live Slate v2, ProseMirror, React ProseMirror, Lexical, Tiptap Pages, Pretext, TanStack, issue ledgers, and Evidence Kit boundaries.
shadcn-style composability and minimalism	0.10	0.91	No UI surface changes; helper extraction is allowed only if reused by click/drag coordinate placement. Pagination remains a proof fixture, not a component API.
Weighted total	1.00	0.923	Meets the planning score threshold; planning lane is closed after closure gates. Accepted execution remains a separate lane.

Source-backed architecture north star:

• target shape: Root/page chrome hit testing resolves to a deterministic visual line-edge point from DOM line rectangles before focus/restore fallback runs.
• source evidence:
  • .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/src/editable/root-interaction-controller.ts:894 currently detects coordinate-based root chrome placement on activate-root or editable-root ignore paths.
  • .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/src/editable/root-interaction-controller.ts:921 builds startRange from rootChromeCoordinatePlacement, falling back to browser resolveEventRange.
  • .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/src/editable/slate-string-coordinate-placement.ts:69 chooses nearest string rect by vertical distance and horizontal center.
  • .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/src/editable/slate-string-coordinate-placement.ts:103 maps left-of-rect clicks to logical start.
  • .tmp/slate-v2/playwright/integration/examples/pagination.test.ts:1962 covers virtualized line start only for the first visible leaf/block target, not a wrapped continuation line.
• rejected drift: Do not patch the pagination example with a special left gutter handler.
• migration posture: Shared slate-react behavior; no public API unless the follow-up pass proves an internal helper needs a public contract.

Public API target:

Surface	Proposed shape	User-facing DX	Compatibility / migration	Evidence	Verdict
useSlateRootChrome	keep current public shape	Apps keep binding root chrome props	no migration	current hook is enough; bug is internal hit testing	keep
Line-edge hit testing	internal package behavior, not public API	clicking near visual text lines behaves like native editors	no public migration	video + source rows	revise internal

Internal runtime target:

Layer	Current owner	Target mechanism	Avoids	Evidence	Verdict
Root interaction	root-interaction-controller.ts	Convert page/root chrome click into a line-edge range before focus restoration	restore fallback stealing click intent	lines 894-933	keep owner
Line geometry	slate-string-coordinate-placement.ts	Resolve nearest visual line rect and left/right edge offset with continuation-line proof	previous-line-end on left margin	lines 69-119 and 165-260	revise algorithm/proof
Browser proof	pagination.test.ts	Add staged + virtualized wrapped-continuation left-margin rows	false green from first-line/block-start proof	lines 1962-2027	add

Hook / component / render DX target:

Surface	Call-site shape	Composition rule	Performance rule	Evidence	Verdict
Pagination example	no new app handler	example keeps using shared PagedEditable/root chrome behavior	no extra render state	current test gap is in Playwright, not example DX	keep

Plate migration-backbone target:

Pressure	Slate substrate target	Plate adaptation route	Non-goal	Evidence	Verdict
Document page margins and table-heavy docs need reliable clicks	shared visual-line hit testing in slate-react	Plate consumes raw Slate behavior without custom gutter glue	Plate-specific page tools	root interaction owner	keep

slate-yjs migration-backbone target:

Pressure	Slate substrate target	Collaboration route	Non-goal	Evidence	Verdict
Local click maps to deterministic selection	model selection update uses resolved point/range	remote peers see normal selection state; no layout data in ops	syncing layout measurements	selection update path in controller	keep, needs later pass

Intent / boundary record:

• intent: stop whack-a-mole pagination click bugs by making visual line-edge hit testing a shared runtime invariant.
• outcome: left/right margin clicks beside any visible wrapped line produce the clicked line's logical start/end, across staged and virtualized pagination.
• in-scope: Chromium browser proof, staged and virtualized pagination, wrapped paragraphs, no-jump guardrails, package unit coverage for coordinate placement, and preserving existing root chrome focus/restore behavior.
• non-goals: table AST splitting, public pagination API, mobile raw-device proof, changing example content, moving page margins, broad structural-DOM exclusion, solving every native browser selection issue, or adding app-level click handlers to mask a package hit-testing bug.
• decision boundaries: choose internal slate-react/slate-dom owner and test matrix without another user question.
• public boundary: keep useSlateRootChrome(root, { disabled, selection }) exactly as the app-facing API. It supplies root chrome event props and does not grow pagination/page-margin policy.
• internal boundary: root-interaction-controller.ts decides whether a chrome click becomes coordinate placement; slate-string-coordinate-placement.ts owns nearest visual line, physical/logical edge mapping, and model offset resolution. Pagination owns proof content only.
• unresolved user-decision points: none after pass 11.

Decision brief:

• principles:
  • click intent beats focus restoration
  • visual-line geometry beats block-index guessing
  • package runtime owns behavior; example owns only stress fixture
  • browser proof must exercise the exact line, not just the block
• top drivers:
  • user-visible caret correctness
  • avoiding pagination-only glue
  • keeping hot pointer path bounded
• viable options:
  • Option A: pagination example left-gutter handler. Fast, but wrong owner and repeats bugs in every layout shell.
  • Option B: extend shared string coordinate placement to resolve wrapped line edges deterministically. Best owner, keeps public API stable.
  • Option C: delegate fully to browser caretRangeFromPoint/resolveEventRange. Minimal code, but this is exactly where stale/fallback browser behavior has produced wrong caret placement.
• chosen option: Option B.
• rejected alternatives: A as product glue; C as insufficiently deterministic.
• consequences: More package-level geometry tests; Playwright target helpers must compute expected visual-line offsets, not assert vague path changes.
• follow-ups: issue-sync accounting, then closure score/final gates.

Intent/boundary validation evidence:

• .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/src/hooks/use-slate-root-chrome.ts:12-30 exposes only disabled and selection, and :44-55 returns stable root chrome event props. This is sufficient; adding onPageMarginClick, pageHitTesting, or structural-DOM policy here would leak product layout into raw Slate.
• .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/src/index.ts:149-153 exports useSlateRootChrome, while the string-coordinate helpers are not exported from the public package barrel. Keep line-edge hit testing internal.
• .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/src/editable/root-interaction-resolver.ts:160-193 keeps root chrome, editable root, native editable, external, and interactive descendants as distinct intent classes. Do not collapse them into a generic pagination margin handler.
• .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/src/editable/root-interaction-controller.ts:553-595 finds the active editable root and asks string coordinate placement for a target. Rows :897-925 then turn that placement into a range before browser fallback can steal the click.
• .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/src/editable/slate-string-coordinate-placement.ts:69-119 chooses the nearest string rect and maps left/right physical edges to logical edges; :165-233 resolves a line-edge model offset from character rects and grapheme boundaries. This is the correct fix owner.
• .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/test/slate-string-coordinate-placement.test.ts:107-154 already covers RTL physical/logical edge mapping, and :156-170 starts the grapheme-boundary proof family. The missing unit row is wrapped continuation line start/end offset selection.
• .tmp/slate-v2/playwright/integration/examples/pagination.test.ts:1345-1417 and :1420-1482 cover no-jump page margins/corners; :1543-1581 covers right margin line end; :1962-2028 covers virtualized first-line margin start. The missing browser row is left margin beside a wrapped continuation line with exact expected offset in staged and virtualized modes.

Issue-ledger sync status:

• ClawSweeper related-issue pass: applied, cache/ledger first. Used existing generated/manual ledgers, gitcrawl status --json, gitcrawl doctor --json, bounded gitcrawl archive searches for wrapped-line/caret/margin wording, and exact thread hydration for #5944, #5924, #5524, #3789, #5291, #1498, and #3429.
• generated live gitcrawl rows read: #5944, #5924, #5826, #5711, #5538, #5473, #5088, #4984, #4789, #3893, #2793, #1769, #1498; plus exact hydrated rows listed above.
• manual v2 sync ledger update: unchanged by decision. Current rows already classify the touched issues as related, not-claimed, fixed-preserve, or issue-reviewed, and this plan has no proof-backed fixed/improved claim yet. Do not append another no-claim sync row during pass 3. The later issue-sync accounting pass should re-evaluate after execution proof exists.
• fork issue dossier update: unchanged by decision. Existing dossier sections already cover #5524, #5924, #3429, #1498, and pagination #5944 related rows.
• issue coverage matrix update: unchanged; no new fixed/improved claim.
• PR description sync: unchanged so far; no exact issue claim, public API shape, or execution proof status changed in planning passes 2-11.

Issue sync accounting pass:

• result: closed for planning. No external ledger, dossier, coverage matrix, or PR-reference mutation is required before closure.
• reason: the plan produces no new fixed or improved issue claim, adds no public API, and has no execution proof yet. Existing rows already record the same classifications this plan needs.
• generated live rows re-read: docs/slate-issues/gitcrawl-live-open-ledger.md:37 for #5944, :41 for #5924, :55, :110, :114, :131, :166, :206, :239, :273, :466, :497, :569, :640, and :643 for adjacent focus, scroll, vertical-navigation, DOM-point, inline-boundary, external-focus, double-click, non-editable, and RTL rows.
• manual sync ledger checked:
  • docs/slate-issues/gitcrawl-v2-sync-ledger.md:123 keeps #5944 issue-reviewed until page-boundary flicker, caret mapping, and stable edit proof exist.
  • :131, :588, :614, and :717 keep structural-DOM / missing-DOM rows, including #5924, not claimed.
  • :587 and :612 keep pagination #5944 related/issue-reviewed.
  • :710-712 preserve #5826 as fixed and focus/scroll/native-movement rows, including #5524, as unchanged proof pressure.
  • :447-459 keep nested/focus fixed floors and related rows unchanged.
• issue coverage matrix checked: docs/slate-v2/ledgers/issue-coverage-matrix.md:56-61 preserve fixed floors for #3429, #4789, #5826, and #4984; :588-589 keep #5524 related and #5924 not claimed; :630 keeps #1769 related; :675 keeps #1498 related.
• fork dossier checked: docs/slate-v2/ledgers/fork-issue-dossier.md:1727-1782 already records #5524 as related/core-navigation and #5924 as not claimed; :7811-7819 and :7847-7857 already record pagination/page-virtualization planning as no fixed/improved claim for #5944 and #5924.
• PR reference checked: docs/slate-v2/references/pr-description.md:151-181 fixed list remains unchanged, and :295-315 keeps pagination/layout as a no fixed/improved claim target.
• cluster and requirements files checked: docs/slate-issues/gitcrawl-clusters.md, docs/slate-issues/issue-clusters.md, docs/slate-issues/requirements-from-issues.md, and docs/slate-issues/package-impact-matrix.md already route the touched surface through selection/focus/DOM bridge, layout, and scroll/focus pressure. No cluster-row mutation is needed for this planning-only page-margin click plan.

Issue-ledger pass evidence:

• docs/slate-issues/gitcrawl-live-open-ledger.md:37 lists #5944 as the stable per-line pagination issue and :41 lists #5924 as structural DOM exclusion. Rows :55, :110, :114, :131, :206, :239, :273, :466, :497, :640, and :643 cover adjacent focus, scroll, navigation, DOM bridge, double-click, non-editable focus, and RTL issues.
• docs/slate-issues/gitcrawl-v2-sync-ledger.md:123-131 and :587-589 already keep #5944 issue-reviewed and #5924 not claimed. Rows :331-335 and :360-364 keep #5524 related and no-claim. Rows :710-717 keep focus/scroll/gesture rows unchanged and explicitly avoid a public ignore-cursor claim.
• docs/slate-v2/ledgers/issue-coverage-matrix.md:56-61 preserve existing fixed floors for #3429, #4789, #5826, and #4984. Rows :325-330 keep root-interaction work related/no-claim for DOM/focus/scroll neighbors. Rows :402-403, :440-442, and :466-468 keep pagination #5944 related and #5924 not claimed until browser proof exists. Rows :588-589 keep #5524 related and #5924 not claimed. Row :675 keeps #1498 related only.
• docs/slate-v2/ledgers/fork-issue-dossier.md:1727-1782 records #5524 and #5924 as soft-break navigation pressure and structural-DOM no-claim. Rows :3167-3198 preserve the existing padded-inline #3429 fixed floor. Rows :7361-7368 keep #1498 related only. Rows :7811-7819 and :7847-7854 already record pagination/layout plans as no new claim.
• docs/slate-v2/references/pr-description.md:151-180 contains the fixed issue list that must not be changed by this planning pass, and :295-315 already describes pagination/page layout as a no fixed/improved claim target.
• Test-candidate maps confirm the claim boundary: #5944 and #5924 are not-a-test-candidate or advanced-layout notes, #5524, #5291, #1498, and #3429 have distinct repro shapes, and #3789 is browser-owned double-click behavior, not this single-click page-margin bug.

Research / ecosystem refresh evidence:

• ProseMirror exposes EditorView.posAtCoords and coordsAtPos as view-owned coordinate bridge methods; coordsAtPos returns a flat cursor-like rectangle and side chooses nearby content when positions are not adjacent.
• ProseMirror's findOffsetInNode tracks a visual row with rowTop/rowBot, scans child rects, recurses into text nodes, and chooses closest horizontal distance on that row. Its posFromCaret explicitly distrusts browser caret normalization near block boundaries before falling back to DOM positions.
• ProseMirror mousedown and drop routes both enter through view.posAtCoords, so the lesson is a single coordinate owner for pointer-origin selection and drag/drop, not one-off page-margin handlers.
• React ProseMirror's selection tests add the useful proof shape: line-break monotonicity, RTL coordinate ordering, coordinate-to-position roundtrips, and a wrapped-line target where a click beyond the line end maps to the expected wrapped-line position.
• The compiled scroll/selection research reinforces the lifecycle: decide selection truth, apply the update, compute geometry from the effective caret/range, then scroll. That supports click intent beating stale focus or restore fallback.
• Tiptap Pages validates what not to do: CSS-float pagination has BFC/table/media limitations, and table pagination requires heavily modified product table behavior. Use this as failure taxonomy only.
• Pretext remains layout evidence, not hit-testing evidence. It improves layout architecture but canvas.measureText() and browser profile drift mean it cannot be the authority for exact caret coordinates in this bug.
• Lexical validates event ordering, not line-edge geometry. Its strongest lesson for this bug is that native-origin events get a clear import/reconciliation path before model-owned fallback or scroll repair can use stale selection.
• TanStack Virtual validates the mount/range owner only. It does not prove editor selection, IME, copy/paste, drag, or browser hit-testing behavior.

Ecosystem maintainer pass:

System	Maintainer-grade take	What to steal	What to reject	Plan consequence
ProseMirror	The view owns coordinate mapping because hit testing is view/runtime behavior.	central posAtCoords/coordsAtPos owner, row-aware rect scan, browser-caret distrust, roundtrip tests	integer positions, schema coupling, plugin model, DOM view clone	Keep the fix in internal Slate React root/string coordinate placement.
React ProseMirror	The useful artifact is the test shape, not the wrapper architecture.	wrapped-line, RTL, monotonic line break, and coordinate roundtrip tests	React wrapper API as Slate DX	Add same-fragment left/right browser proof and package unit rows.
Lexical	Native event lifecycle discipline is relevant; Lexical's reconciler is not.	import native target/DOM selection when the event owns truth, then focus/scroll from the effective selection	class node model, $ helpers, custom DOM reconciler, Lexical as geometry authority	Root chrome coordinate placement must run before restore/browser fallback can win.
Tiptap Pages	It is a warning label for CSS pagination, not a design to copy.	table/media/BFC failure taxonomy and semantic split caveats	CSS floats, manual AST splitting as default, product TableKit in raw Slate	Keep pagination/page layout policy separate from page-margin click hit testing.
Pretext	It is the layout engine candidate, not the click-selection engine.	profile-aware measurement and derived page fragments	cross-client stable page breaks by default, hit-testing ownership	Do not route this bug through layout snapshots or page-break data.
TanStack Virtual	It is the internal range engine, not the editor contract.	stable keys, overscan/mount corridor, measured item discipline	public virtualizer options, hidden-DOM assumptions as native-behavior proof	Browser rows must assert bounded mounted pages before clicking.
Plate / slate-yjs	They are downstream pressure, not extra policy owners.	shared substrate behavior and normal model selection updates	Plate page handlers, layout coordinates in collaboration ops	No public API and no Yjs/layout protocol change for this fix.

Revision pass:

• accepted owner: internal slate-react root interaction plus string coordinate placement. The pagination example is a browser stress fixture only.
• accepted public API: unchanged. useSlateRootChrome keeps disabled and selection; no onPageMarginClick, pageHitTesting, structural-DOM predicate, or pagination policy hook.
• accepted algorithm shape: root chrome/native-editable pointer handling asks the active editable root for a coordinate placement before focus restoration or browser fallback. String placement chooses the nearest visual line rect with a single-pass candidate scan, then resolves the logical line edge in the chosen string only.
• accepted test shape: red browser proof first, then package/unit geometry, then virtualized proof, then guardrails. Tests must target the same wrapped continuation fragment for left and right margins.
• accepted migration shape: Plate inherits the shared substrate; slate-yjs sees normal selection state; no layout measurements or page-break snapshots enter collaboration ops.
• accepted issue posture: no Fixes claim for #5944, #5924, #5524, #1498, #5291, #3789, or adjacent issues from planning alone. Existing fixed floors (#3429, #4789, #4984, #5826 family) are preserve-only guardrails unless execution proof expands the claim.
• remaining plan work: issue-sync accounting pass, then closure score/final gates pass. No .tmp/slate-v2 implementation under this planning goal.

Pressure pass findings:

• performance: .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/src/editable/slate-string-coordinate-placement.ts:47-67 currently scopes candidate strings to the active editable root and excludes nested editors. Keep that boundary. Do not widen to document-level or app-level scans.
• performance: .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/src/editable/slate-string-coordinate-placement.ts:76-97 builds all candidate string rects and sorts them just to select the nearest candidate. Execution should replace that with a single-pass best-candidate loop over mounted strings/rects. This is a real pressure finding: sorting is wasted work on every page-margin click.
• performance: .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/src/editable/slate-string-coordinate-placement.ts:165-233 does grapheme and Range.getClientRects() work only for the selected string. Keep it that way; do not inspect character rects for every mounted string.
• React/runtime: .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/src/editable/root-interaction-controller.ts:874-953 keeps the mousedown path in event callbacks and refs, not React state. Execution must preserve that shape: no component state, no effects, no subscriptions, no rerender-driven pointer state.
• drag/regression: .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/src/editable/root-interaction-controller.ts:929-943 seeds pendingProjectedDrag from the resolved coordinate range, and :1000-1067 later applies projected drag. If execution changes this path, add a margin-drag guardrail; otherwise the click fix can still leave drag anchored to the raw browser point.
• browser proof: .tmp/slate-v2/playwright/integration/examples/pagination.test.ts:1543-1581 currently proves right-margin placement, but the helper can select the first visible rect rather than the same wrapped continuation fragment. Execution should target the same visual fragment on both left and right.
• browser proof: .tmp/slate-v2/playwright/integration/examples/pagination.test.ts:1962-2028 already proves virtualized bounded DOM with < 1400 elements and <= 8 page surfaces before a first-line margin click. The new wrapped-line virtualized row should keep the same bounded-DOM precondition.
• memory/review lesson: prior Slate v2 fix loops showed one-edge margin proof is false comfort. Tests must cover both margins and wrapped fragments, and any projected drag touch needs drag coverage.

Performance:

• applicability: applied.
• Vercel rules used: js-min-max-loop for nearest-candidate selection, js-early-exit for no candidate / too-far vertical threshold, and rerender-move-effect-to-event as a no-new-effect guard.
• extra rules used: repeated-unit-budget, css-layout-hotpath, interaction-inp-matrix, and editor-native-behavior-proof.
• repeated unit: mounted Slate strings/leaves in the active editable root.
• target complexity: O(mounted string rects + chosen string graphemes) per margin click; no O(candidate log candidate) sort; no character rect loop over all candidates; no typing-path work.
• cohorts:
  • normal: small paginated document, non-virtualized.
  • large: 5k block document / rich markdown fixture.
  • stress: virtualized pagination with bounded mounted pages and long table.
  • pathological: non-virtualized huge document; acceptable only as an explicit slower mode, not as the default virtualized target.
• budgets:
  • event handlers/effects/subscriptions: unchanged.
  • DOM scan: active editable root only; virtualized mode remains bounded by mounted pages.
  • layout reads: string rect reads during mousedown only; chosen-string character rect reads only after candidate selection.
  • React runtime: no state/effect/scheduler dependency added.
• React/runtime primitives: none. React 19.2 features do not solve DOM coordinate hit testing here.
• interaction metrics: local browser proof should cover line-margin click, margin drag when touched, click then type, and no-jump corner clicks. INP/RUM is not required for this tiny internal fix unless execution expands the scan.
• trace/CWV proof: page-load/Core Web Vitals are out of scope. If execution adds broad DOM scans, run the registered huge-document browser trace before closure.
• memory tags: preserve virtualized row's bounded page-surface and total-element assertions; do not add mounted UI, hidden boundaries, or caches.
• degradation contract: none. The fix should preserve native click/select/copy behavior and improve model selection; no opt-in degraded mode.
• dashboard/RUM gap: no production dashboard required for the fix. Useful future tags would be interaction=line-margin-click, strategy, page_layout, mounted page count, and total DOM element count.

DX / migration / simplicity pressure:

• DX: keep useSlateRootChrome unchanged. Adding onPageMarginClick, pageHitTesting, or structural-DOM predicates would leak product layout into raw Slate and make Plate/Yjs migration worse.
• DX: pagination remains a proof fixture. Do not add example-only handlers or fake content generators to make tests pass.
• migration: Plate should inherit the substrate fix with no adapter. slate-yjs should receive only normal model selection updates; layout coordinates and page-break snapshots stay out of collaboration ops.
• simplicity: no ProseMirror port, no new package, no public API, no root chrome option. The only justified abstraction is an internal helper if it removes real duplication between click and drag coordinate placement.
• regression: execution must start with one failing browser row, then fix the package owner, then add the next row. Do not bulk-write a horizontal test suite that only verifies the imagined implementation.

High-risk deliberate findings:

• geometry false positive: current right-margin helper at .tmp/slate-v2/playwright/integration/examples/pagination.test.ts:462-570 walks visible blocks and uses the first string rect. That is not strong enough for the reported bug. Execution must target a wrapped continuation rect and reuse that same fragment for left/right expected offsets.
• virtualization false positive: current virtualized row at .tmp/slate-v2/playwright/integration/examples/pagination.test.ts:1962-2028 proves bounded DOM and first-line margin start, not wrapped continuation placement. The new row must keep boundedDOM/boundedPages preconditions and assert exact offset after the click.
• remount risk: .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-layout/src/page-mount-plan.ts:193-205 disables filtering when viewport is null and otherwise filters by visible page ranges. This is the right fallback, but the browser proof must not assume a page is mounted without first checking the target exists and virtualized DOM is bounded.
• selected/promoted page retention risk: .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-layout/src/page-mount-plan.ts:128-175 keeps selected/promoted/composing top-level indexes mounted. Browser proof should click from a prior selection elsewhere to ensure selection restoration does not steal the target.
• source complexity risk: the target implementation cannot retain a candidate array plus sort just because the test is small. Source closeout must inspect the final helper for single-pass nearest candidate selection.
• projected drag risk: prior fix-loop memory and current root-interaction-controller.ts flow make drag anchoring a conditional release blocker if execution changes coordinate range seeding. A green click row alone is not enough if shared range flow changes.
• issue-claim risk: docs/slate-v2/references/pr-description.md:217-225 explicitly forbids related-sounding issue numbers in the fixed list. The plan must not add Fixes #5944, #5924, or adjacent issues until execution proof and issue sync justify an exact claim.

Slate maintainer objection ledger:

Change	Objection	Tradeoff	Evidence	Migration/docs/proof answer	Verdict
Internal visual-line edge hit testing	"This is browser layout code inside slate-react."	More DOM geometry code to maintain	.tmp/slate-v2/.../root-interaction-controller.ts:874-953 already owns root chrome pointer intent; ProseMirror keeps posAtCoords/coordsAtPos in the view layer.	Keep it internal, package-tested, and bounded. The alternative is app-level glue in every page/layout shell.	accepted
Deterministic coordinate placement before browser fallback	"Why not trust resolveEventRange / native caret APIs?"	More custom fallback logic	The user video and current bug prove browser fallback can choose the previous line end. ProseMirror domcoords.ts:223-329 also distrusts native caret normalization around block/inline boundaries before falling back.	Use deterministic line-edge placement only when clicking outside/near a Slate string; keep browser fallback when deterministic placement returns null.	accepted
No public useSlateRootChrome expansion	"Apps may need policy hooks like onPageMarginClick."	Less app-level customization	.tmp/slate-v2/.../use-slate-root-chrome.ts:12-30 exposes only disabled and selection; current bug is generic line-edge hit testing, not product page policy.	Preserve raw Slate DX. Plate can build product page policy on top after the substrate is correct.	accepted
Root-scoped candidate scan	"A coordinate scan over strings could be slow on huge docs."	Still requires DOM rect reads on click	.tmp/slate-v2/.../slate-string-coordinate-placement.ts:47-67 already scopes to the active editable root and excludes nested editors; pressure pass rejects the current flatMap().sort()[0] as final shape.	Execution must use a single-pass nearest candidate loop and read character rects only for the chosen string. No typing-path work, no new React state/effects.	accepted with implementation guard
Pagination remains proof fixture	"This sounds like a pagination-specific workaround."	Browser proof lives in pagination example	Existing rows at .tmp/slate-v2/playwright/integration/examples/pagination.test.ts:1345-1581 already use pagination as stress proof for no-jump/right-edge behavior. The package owner is slate-react, not the example.	Add tests in pagination because the bug manifests there, but patch shared root/string coordinate placement only.	accepted
RTL, bidi, and grapheme boundaries	"Line-edge math is easy to get wrong across scripts."	More unit proof required	.tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/test/slate-string-coordinate-placement.test.ts:107-184 already covers RTL physical/logical edges and grapheme boundaries.	Preserve current RTL/grapheme rows; add wrapped-line RTL unit only if execution changes physical/logical edge mapping.	accepted
Projected drag anchoring	"Click fix might leave drag selection anchored to the raw browser point."	Conditional extra browser row	.tmp/slate-v2/.../root-interaction-controller.ts:382-430 resolves projected endpoints from the provided range, and :929-943 seeds pending drag from coordinate placement when present. Prior fix-loop memory says this path regresses easily.	If execution changes projected drag seeding or shared range flow, add margin-drag proof. Otherwise keep a source-review guardrail.	accepted conditional
Nested/multiple editable roots	"Coordinate scans might cross into nested editors or wrong roots."	Requires careful root filtering	.tmp/slate-v2/.../slate-string-coordinate-placement.ts:47-55 filters strings whose closest Slate editor is the active editable root, and package test rows :76-105 prove nested roots are ignored.	Preserve root filtering; no document-global query and no cross-root selection inference.	accepted
Collaboration / slate-yjs	"Layout coordinates are local and non-deterministic; don't put them in ops."	Selection is local UI-derived before becoming model state	The controller turns placement into normal point/range selection; no page coordinates or measurements enter operations.	Remote peers see normal selection state only. Strict page-break snapshots remain a separate pagination/export concern, not this bug.	accepted
Browser proof brittleness	"Playwright geometry tests can be flaky."	Exact browser rows are still required	Current browser rows already assert no-jump/corner/right-edge behavior; the missing row is exact same-fragment left/right wrapped-line placement.	Use unit tests for helper math and Chromium rows for real geometry. Do not claim issue closure until focused browser proof is green.	accepted
Issue claim expansion	"Does this close #5944 or structural DOM requests?"	Conservative issue accounting may undersell the fix	Existing issue pass found no exact upstream issue to close; #5944 is pagination pressure, #5924 is broader structural DOM policy.	Keep related/no-claim until execution proof exists and issue sync pass reruns. No Fixes line from this plan alone.	accepted
Simplicity	"This risks becoming a ProseMirror port."	A little internal geometry remains	ProseMirror evidence is used for ownership/test discipline only; pressure pass explicitly rejects PM positions/schema/plugin model.	Implement the smallest internal helper change that fixes line-edge selection. No new package, no public API, no page-specific handler.	accepted

Hard cuts and rejected alternatives:

Option / API	Keep / cut / reject	Why	Migration cost	Evidence	Follow-up
pagination-only gutter handler	reject	wrong owner; hides generic root chrome bug	none	same bug class already hit corners/right margin	no
public onPageMarginClick API	reject for now	product/layout opinion; not needed	none	internal owner sufficient	revisit only if apps need policy hook
browser-only resolveEventRange fallback	reject as primary	returns stale/wrong visual line in this class	none	video symptom	keep fallback only when deterministic placement unavailable
candidate flatMap().sort()[0]	reject as final implementation shape	O(n log n) and allocates all candidates when only nearest is needed	none	current source pressure pass	replace with single-pass best-candidate scan

Plan deltas from review:

• Created plan from Slate Plan template.
• Recorded video-derived symptom: clicking beside wrapped continuation line selects previous visual line end.
• Re-scoped target from "pagination margin bug" to shared visual-line edge hit-testing.
• Identified existing test gap: first-line/block-start proof does not cover wrapped continuation line start.
• Validated the pass-4 boundary: public root chrome API unchanged, internal slate-react coordinate placement owner, no pagination-only handler.
• Completed pass-5 research refresh: ProseMirror validates a centralized view coordinate bridge and roundtrip test family; React ProseMirror contributes portable wrapped-line/RTL proof shapes; Tiptap Pages is negative evidence; Pretext stays layout-only; Evidence Kit has no direct microbenchmark for this click edge.
• Completed pass-6 pressure review: require bounded single-pass coordinate candidate selection, no React state/effects, no public API, no pagination-only handler, vertical TDD browser/unit proof, and drag guardrail if projected drag seeding changes.
• Completed pass-7 maintainer objection ledger: accepted internal bounded line-edge coordinate placement after answering browser fallback, public API, performance, pagination-specificity, RTL/grapheme, drag, nested-root, collaboration, browser-proof, issue-claim, and simplicity objections.
• Completed pass-8 high-risk deliberate mode: tightened the plan against same-fragment proof gaps, virtualization/remount false positives, candidate sorting cost, conditional drag regression, nested-root leakage, and issue-claim inflation.
• Completed pass-9 ecosystem maintainer pass: added Lexical and TanStack to the ecosystem boundary, recorded explicit steal/reject calls for ProseMirror, React ProseMirror, Lexical, Tiptap Pages, Pretext, TanStack, Plate, and slate-yjs, and kept the accepted owner unchanged.
• Completed pass-10 revision pass: consolidated the accepted owner, public API decision, algorithm shape, proof queue, migration posture, issue posture, and user-review handoff outline. The plan score now meets the planning threshold; issue-sync accounting and closure gates remain.

Open questions and decision-changing evidence:

Question	Why it matters	Evidence needed	Owner	Status
Does the bug reproduce in both staged and virtualized strategies?	determines browser test matrix	focused Playwright red rows	execution	queued for accepted execution
Does RTL need immediate coverage?	existing direction helpers may regress	preserve current RTL physical/logical unit; add a wrapped-line RTL unit only if execution changes edge mapping	execution	resolved for plan

Accepted execution queue:

Step	Owner	Exact work	Required proof	Do not do
1	execution	Add the staged red Playwright row for left margin beside a wrapped continuation fragment.	The row fails before the package fix and asserts exact same-block line-start offset.	Do not click the first visible line or assert only "selection changed".
2	execution	Add or adjust package tests for nearest visual-line rect and chosen-string edge offset.	Unit proof covers wrapped continuation start/end and preserves RTL/grapheme rows.	Do not test dead legacy APIs or invent a public helper.
3	execution	Replace nearest candidate sorting with bounded single-pass selection if still present.	Source review proves no flatMap().sort()[0], no document-global scan, chosen-string-only character rect work.	Do not add React state/effects or a cache that survives layout changes without invalidation.
4	execution	Wire corrected placement through root chrome click before restore/browser fallback.	Staged left-margin row passes; same-fragment right-margin row passes.	Do not add a pagination-specific event handler.
5	execution	Add virtualized wrapped-left proof with mounted-page and total-DOM preconditions.	Row asserts bounded pages/DOM, exact offset, active editor, and no scroll jump.	Do not let virtualization proof depend on hidden full-document DOM.
6	execution	Preserve no-jump/corner and existing fixed floors.	Focused browser grep covers staged/single layout corners and existing no-jump rows.	Do not claim broader scroll/focus or structural-DOM issues.
7	execution	If projected drag seeding changed, add margin-drag proof.	Drag anchor uses corrected range, not raw browser fallback.	Do not ship a click-only fix if shared drag range flow changed.
8	execution	Run closeout gates from .tmp/slate-v2.	bun --filter slate-react test -- slate-string-coordinate-placement root-interaction-resolver use-slate-root-chrome, focused Chromium rows, bun --filter slate-react typecheck, bun lint:fix, bun --filter slate-react build, and dirty-local autoreview if implementation changed.	Do not run Slate v2 proof from plate-2.

Final user-review handoff outline:

• accepted plan items: shared slate-react owner; public API unchanged; bounded single-pass visual-line placement; vertical browser/unit proof queue; no collaboration/layout protocol change.
• before / after API shape: before and after stay the same at the app boundary; internal line-edge hit testing becomes deterministic for wrapped visual lines.
• hard cuts: reject pagination-only handler, public page-margin API, structural DOM predicate, ProseMirror/Lexical API import, CSS-float pagination, Pretext hit-testing ownership, and public TanStack virtualizer knobs.
• issue claims and non-claims: related/no-claim accounting closed for planning. Execution proof may later justify separate ledger updates, but this plan adds no fixed/improved claim.
• proof gates: accepted execution queue names the exact .tmp/slate-v2 browser/unit/type/lint/build/autoreview gates.
• accepted-plan execution handoff: use a new execution-shaped goal only after explicit user acceptance; do not run implementation under this planning goal.

Done Handoff:

• Plan path: docs/plans/2026-05-29-pagination-left-margin-click-architecture.md.
• Final decision: fix the bug in shared slate-react root interaction and string coordinate placement, not in the pagination example.
• Public API: unchanged. Keep useSlateRootChrome(root, { disabled, selection }) and add no page-margin or structural-DOM policy hook.
• Internal target: root/page chrome clicks resolve a deterministic visual-line edge range before focus restoration or browser fallback can steal the click.
• Performance target: active editable root only, single-pass nearest visual-line candidate scan, character rects for the chosen string only, no React state or effects.
• Browser proof target: staged and virtualized pagination must click left margin beside a wrapped continuation line and assert exact same-block line-start offset; same-fragment right margin, no-jump/corner, and conditional drag rows stay required.
• Package proof target: slate-string-coordinate-placement, root-interaction-resolver, and use-slate-root-chrome package tests cover geometry, root filtering, RTL/grapheme preservation, and public hook stability.
• Issue posture: no new fixed/improved claim. #5944 stays related/reviewed, #5924 stays not claimed, #5524/#1498/focus-scroll neighbors stay related only, and existing fixed floors remain preserve-only.
• Execution handoff: start a new execution-shaped goal only after explicit user acceptance, then run the accepted execution queue from .tmp/slate-v2.

Findings:

• The attached video is a wrapped-line hit-testing bug: left margin beside the continuation line places the caret at the previous line end.
• The current shared coordinate helper can place line edges, but the proof does not force a wrapped continuation-line left edge.
• Existing no-jump tests are necessary but not sufficient.
• Related issue discovery found no exact upstream issue to close. #5944 is the closest direct pagination issue, but its original request is page-boundary pagination stability and flicker, not a single page-margin caret placement repro.
• Several search hits are useful guardrails, not claims: #5524 for visual line/model point drift, #1498 for direction-aware geometry, #3429 for edge-hit-testing preservation, and #5291 for scroll/selection pressure.

Decisions and tradeoffs:

• Best owner is shared slate-react root interaction/string coordinate placement, not pagination example glue.
• Public API should remain unchanged unless later passes find a real extension boundary.

Timeline:

• 2026-05-29 Slate Plan goal plan created.
• 2026-05-29 Pass 1 live source read completed.
• 2026-05-29 Pass 2 related issue discovery completed with no new fixed or improved issue claim.
• 2026-05-29 Pass 3 issue-ledger pass completed. Shared ledgers and PR references stay unchanged until execution proof creates a real claim delta.
• 2026-05-29 Pass 4 intent/boundary and decision brief validation completed. Public API stays unchanged; internal line-edge hit testing is the accepted target unless later research invalidates it.
• 2026-05-29 Pass 5 research/ecosystem live-source refresh completed. ProseMirror/React ProseMirror support central coordinate ownership and roundtrip tests; Tiptap Pages and Pretext stay bounded to pagination/layout lessons, not click hit testing.
• 2026-05-29 Pass 6 performance/DX/migration/regression/simplicity pressure passes completed. Final planned shape stays internal, bounded, test-first, and public-API-free.
• 2026-05-29 Pass 7 Slate maintainer objection ledger completed. Objections did not change the owner; they tightened proof and implementation constraints.
• 2026-05-29 Pass 8 high-risk deliberate mode completed. Deliberate failure analysis strengthened browser proof targets, source complexity guardrails, and conservative issue-claim accounting.
• 2026-05-29 Pass 9 ecosystem maintainer pass completed. External systems are evidence boundaries only: ProseMirror for view-owned coordinates, React ProseMirror for proof shape, Lexical for native-event ordering, Tiptap Pages for negative pagination evidence, Pretext for layout only, TanStack for internal range/mount discipline, and Plate/slate-yjs for migration pressure.
• 2026-05-29 Pass 10 revision pass completed. The plan now has a concrete execution queue, scorecard above threshold, final handoff outline, and explicit planning-vs-execution proof boundary.
• 2026-05-29 Pass 11 issue sync accounting completed. Current ledgers and PR reference already carry the needed no-claim/fixed-preserve posture; no external ledger mutation was made.
• 2026-05-29 Pass 12 closure score and final gates completed. Planning lane is ready to close if the mechanical completion check passes.

  • gitcrawl doctor --json -> version 0.4.3, DB health ok, GitHub token present.
  • gitcrawl search ianstormtaylor/slate --query "wrapped line cursor caret margin pagination" --mode hybrid --limit 12 --json -> closest direct hit #5944; adjacent hits #1498, #5291, #5524, #3429.

• Issue-ledger pass:
  • read generated live rows for direct and adjacent issues.
  • read manual v2 sync rows for pagination, page layout, vertical navigation, root interaction, focus/scroll, and structural-DOM surfaces.
  • read fork dossier, coverage matrix, PR reference, and test-candidate map sections for #5944, #5924, #5524, #3789, #5291, #1498, and #3429.
  • decision: no shared ledger/reference mutation in pass 3.
• Intent/boundary pass:
  • read .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/src/hooks/use-slate-root-chrome.ts, .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/src/index.ts, .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/src/editable/root-interaction-resolver.ts, .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/src/editable/root-interaction-controller.ts, .tmp/slate-v2/packages/slate-react/src/editable/slate-string-coordinate-placement.ts, focused slate-react package tests, and pagination Playwright rows.
  • decision: no public API change; execution should add wrapped-line coordinate proof and revise internal coordinate placement.
• Research/ecosystem pass:
  • read compiled ProseMirror transaction/view and scroll-selection research, plus direct ../prosemirror/view/src/domcoords.ts, index.ts, and input.ts.
  • read ../react-prosemirror selection tests for line-break monotonicity, RTL ordering, coordinate roundtrip, and wrapped-line coordinate behavior.
  • read Tiptap Pages limitations and Pages TableKit docs from ../tiptap-docs; decision: negative evidence only.
  • read Pretext pagination/page virtualization research; decision: Pretext is layout evidence, not hit-testing owner.
  • read Evidence Kit benchmark registry and latest health; decision: focused unit/browser proof is the right execution evidence unless pressure pass finds render/DOM-scan risk.
• Pressure pass:
  • read performance, performance-oracle, Vercel React, and TDD skill guidance, plus repeated-unit-budget, css-layout-hotpath, interaction-inp-matrix, editor-native-behavior-proof, and js-min-max-loop.
  • re-read live Slate v2 string coordinate placement, root interaction click and projected drag paths, current string-coordinate package tests, and pagination Playwright helper/proof rows.
  • decision: final implementation must use bounded single-pass nearest candidate selection, keep character rect work to the chosen string, preserve event/ref-only runtime state, and prove both margins on the same wrapped fragment.
• Objection ledger pass:
  • re-read useSlateRootChrome, string coordinate placement, root interaction click/drag owner, package coordinate tests, pagination browser tests, and ProseMirror coordinate bridge source.
  • decision: objections strengthen but do not replace the selected owner. Public API stays unchanged; browser fallback stays fallback; execution must prove same-fragment left/right placement and keep the implementation bounded.
• High-risk deliberate pass:
  • re-read page mount plan, paged layout filtering, pagination target helpers, virtualized browser rows, PR issue claim rules, and prior fix-loop memory.
  • decision: the plan must defend against false-green geometry tests, virtualization remounts, source complexity drift, conditional drag anchoring, nested-root leakage, and premature issue claims before closure.
• Ecosystem maintainer pass:
  • re-read compiled ProseMirror, scroll/selection, Pretext pagination, and TanStack virtualization research.
  • re-read local ProseMirror coordinate bridge source, Lexical event/selection source, Tiptap Pages limitations/TableKit docs, and current Slate v2 public root chrome plus root/string coordinate owners.
  • decision: keep the fix in Slate React internals. Steal ownership/test/event lifecycle discipline only; reject external public models, product APIs, layout snapshots, and virtualizer options as raw Slate APIs.
• Revision pass:
  • re-read the full plan against the Slate Plan template and accumulated pass constraints.
  • consolidated the accepted owner, no-public-API decision, single-pass placement algorithm target, vertical TDD/browser queue, migration stance, issue non-claims, and final handoff outline.
  • decision: the plan is ready for issue-sync accounting before closure. Do not begin .tmp/slate-v2 implementation under the planning goal.
• Issue sync accounting pass:
  • re-read generated live rows, manual v2 sync rows, issue coverage matrix, fork dossier, cluster/requirements/package-impact files, and PR reference.
  • decision: the planning-only page-margin click plan creates no new fixed/improved claim and no new public API surface. Existing rows already classify every touched issue correctly, so external ledgers stay unchanged.
• Closure score and final gates pass:
  • audited completion threshold, pass table, scorecard, issue/reference sync, live source grounding, proof queues, planning-only autoreview N/A, and Done Handoff.
  • ran node .agents/rules/autogoal/scripts/check-complete.mjs docs/plans/2026-05-29-pagination-left-margin-click-architecture.md from plate-2; result: [autogoal] complete.
  • decision: no planning pass remains runnable. Accepted implementation proof belongs to a later execution-shaped goal after explicit user acceptance.

Reboot status:

Question	Answer
Where am I?	Pass 12 complete: closure score and final gates
Where am I going?	None for this planning goal
What is the goal?	User-review-ready plan for robust wrapped-line page-margin hit testing
What have I learned?	The planning answer is stable: shared root/string hit testing is the owner, with no public API and exact browser proof deferred to accepted execution.
What have I done?	Created the plan and completed current-state read, related issue discovery, issue-ledger mutation decision, intent/boundary validation, research/source refresh, pressure passes, maintainer objection ledger, high-risk deliberate mode, ecosystem maintainer pass, revision pass, issue sync accounting, and closure gates.

Open risks:

• None for this planning lane.
• Accepted-plan execution still needs the exact browser red row and package proof from .tmp/slate-v2; that is intentionally outside this planning goal.
