The :manual save handler builds its tx-data from the wizard snapshot and stripped the
control fields :action and :amount-mode, but not :mode (simple/advanced) added by the
recent manual-coding work. manual-coding-section* emits step-params[mode] on every
render, so EVERY advanced manual save posted :mode "advanced" into :upsert-transaction
and 500'd with ":db.error/not-an-entity :mode". Strip :mode alongside :action so the
upsert only sees real schema attributes.
Also fix the e2e helper that masked this: selectAccountFromTypeahead poked the Alpine v2
internal `el.__x.$data`, which is undefined on Alpine v3 (this app loads alpinejs@3.x),
so it silently no-op'd and the account posted empty. Drive the typeahead via the real
Alpine v3 path (Alpine.$data + tippy dropdown + click), mirroring transaction-edit-swap.
Unmasks the previously-failing "Shared Location spread on save" test (was first in a
serial file, hiding 7 siblings). Verified: that test passes; transaction-edit-swap stays
6/6. Skill gotchas.md records the :mode-strip rule, the Alpine-v3 API requirement, and
the modal-won't-close diagnosis recipe.
Re-render the entire #wizard-form on each field edit and swap with
hx-swap="morph" so the focused input keeps focus/caret/value while typing.
- Field-level routes return the full form and target #wizard-form
- Key state-owning wrappers (account rows, simple-mode wrapper, vendor
typeahead) so server-driven value changes re-init across the morph
- Guard tippy/$refs access in typeahead against stale post-morph state
- Round-trip simple/advanced mode via step-params[mode]
- Add e2e/transaction-edit-morph.spec.ts covering focus/caret preservation,
vendor->account population, and repeated vendor changes
- Seed a second vendor/account for test isolation
