Catalog Redesign Interactive Scaffold

catalog-redesign — Interactive scaffold form on s

Pressing s from the catalog list or detail view opens an in-TUI form that prompts for every variable/value the selected component exposes. The form is modal: in navigate mode j and k (or the arrow keys) move between fields and enter interacts with the focused one. Required entries are flagged, and optional entries show their default in a muted style until the user opts in.

enter on a text or HCL field switches the form into edit mode. Typing edits the value in place; esc returns to navigate. Only fields the user actually changes get written to the generated file, and optional defaults stay implicit, so the result is leaner than the placeholder flow.

enter on a boolean field toggles between [x] true and [ ] false directly, without a separate edit mode.

x on an optional field resets it to the source default, dropping any in-progress value. X resets every optional field in one pass.

tab and shift+tab cycle the All / Required / Optional category tabs at the top of the form, mirroring the list view's tab strip. Inside edit mode, tab and shift+tab commit the current field and jump to the next/previous one without leaving edit mode, so a long form fills out like a web form.

? opens a scrollable detail overlay anchored on the focused field, showing the full description, type, and current value. Unfocused field descriptions truncate after a few lines with an … marker so a long comment doesn't dominate the page.

Complex types (lists, maps, objects) accept raw HCL and are validated when focus leaves the field, so a typo surfaces on the way out instead of flickering under the cursor while you're still typing.

s finishes the form. Required fields the user never filled keep the form open with a "press ctrl+d to scaffold anyway" prompt; ctrl+d writes the file with unset required fields rendered as # TODO: fill in value. The previous capital-S shortcut for the same skip-required flow is removed; everything is reachable from inside the form on s.

In the README pager (enter on a component), w toggles soft-wrapping of long lines so an ASCII diagram or wide table reads as authored.
