- a download button in the header opens the web app's export dialog
(.drawio, .png, .svg, .drawio.svg), which the classic page had and the
shell lacked when it became the default
- the shell asks draw.io for the custom library menu (libraries=1), as
the classic page did; the web app keeps libraries=0
- the newest card no longer shows "Rendering preview" for good: the sync
takes the thumbnail of a diagram the server recovered from its file
(saved without pictures) while the canvas kept it, and of a write whose
picture was skipped because an edit came first, once the canvas shows
the write again
- e2e: the get_selection test covers a shape in a container the user
entered; a download test saves a .drawio file
The stalled-tab note names the page start_session opened (the shell
with DRAWIO_PREVIEW_UI=shell) instead of the classic page. With the
shell not built, start_session opens the classic page and the server
says so at startup, as it does for a missing dist/drawio. BROWSER=none
skips the system browser, as Vite and CRA dev servers do: the e2e tests
set it. Without a fixed DRAWIO_UI, the shell's draw.io URL carries
themes=1 so Extras > Theme is offered, as on the classic page.
The canvas now fills the window and the chat floats on its right. draw.io is
served from our own origin (public/drawio, downloaded at build time and
checked against the release's SHA-256), so the app can drive the editor
directly:
- every AI change becomes a version card with a thumbnail; compare, restore
or undo it, and Ctrl+Z on the canvas takes an AI change back in one step
- shapes the AI just changed are highlighted on the canvas
- selected shapes appear as a chip and are sent to the model
- draw.io's own simple UI: its toolbar, menus (auto layout, Mermaid, CSV
import) and page tabs; the shape library starts closed
- new start screen, session rename and switcher, open .drawio files
- settings split into Models & keys, Appearance, Advanced and About
- Bedrock in the model settings also takes an API key instead of access keys
- phones switch between canvas and chat
- dark mode uses draw.io's own dark mode, with neutral greys around it
With an external draw.io (NEXT_PUBLIC_DRAWIO_BASE_URL) the features above
that need same origin are off.
The chat logic moved from the 1500-line chat panel into a chat engine plus
small UI components; zustand holds canvas, versions, settings and UI state.
