Bryce d0fad63e24 refactor(ssr): remove the EDN snapshot round-trip; transaction edit is a plain form (heuristic 2)
The wizard serialized the whole accumulating form state into a `snapshot` hidden field
(pr-str EDN + custom readers), decoded it every request, and merged step-params back in.
For this single-step modal the snapshot is pure redundancy: every value is either in the
entity or the live posted form. Remove it:

- render: EditWizard.render-wizard renders a plain form -- no snapshot / edit-path /
  current-step hidden fields; a single `db/id` hidden rides in the form instead.
- middleware: wrap-derive-state rebuilds :multi-form-state per request from the entity
  (loaded by the db/id hidden) overlaid with the live step-params, replacing
  wrap-init-multi-form-state + wrap-entity. The ~34 :snapshot reads are unchanged --
  :snapshot is now a derived map, not a round-tripped blob.
- editable fields (accounts, vendor, memo, approval, action, mode, amount-mode) come ONLY
  from the posted form (absent = cleared) so removing all account rows doesn't resurrect
  the entity's persisted accounts; only entity-only fields (db/id, client, amount, ...)
  come from the entity.
- delete the dead initial-edit-wizard-state and render-account-grid-body.
- e2e: make removeAllAccounts re-query each iteration (whole-form swaps stale a captured
  row index) and restore the percentage test to type-then-add ordering.

Scorecard: snapshot EDN round-trip + custom readers + merge-multi-form-state -> gone
(snapshot-field renders 0). Verified on a fresh server: full suite 38 pass / 1 unrelated
fail, swap 6/6, transaction-edit 8/8 -- same green as before, snapshot removed.

Quality scorecard (the ratchet)

Cheap to measure (grep -c, wc -l, clj-kondo), recorded before/after each migration in the commit message and in the results table below. No metric may regress for the touched modal without a written exception in gotchas.md. These are directional evidence, not targets to game — always paired with the e2e parity gate.

Heuristics

# Heuristic Measure Target
1 Faked cursor positions (not cursors themselves) grep -cE 'with-cursor|MapCursor\.' re-roots + grep -c 'defn.*-no-cursor' → 0 (top-rooted cursors are fine)
2 Implicit state merges (snapshot/cursor) count merge sites → 0 (forms); explicit put-step only (wizards)
3 Branching complexity clj-kondo, or count cond/condp/case/nested if + max depth net ↓
4 Lines of code wc -l on the modal's file(s) net ↓
5 Reuse / cross-form similarity cookbook components reused; duplicated-block count reuse ↑, dup ↓
6 Route count count routes for the modal → 2 (+1 for add-row)
7 OOB swaps grep -c hx-swap-oob → 0 unless a justified disjoint-region case is documented
8 Attribute consistency mixed :x-/"x-" encodings in migrated template → 0

How to measure (copy/paste)

echo "branch forms       $(grep -cE '\(cond |\(condp |\(case |\(when-not ' $F)"
echo "hx-swap-oob        $(grep -c 'hx-swap-oob' $F)"
echo "mixed string hx-   $(grep -cE '\"hx-[a-z]' $F)"

Results

Each migration appends one row (after-numbers), referencing the before in the diff.

Phase Modal LOC Routes no-cursor twins faked roots snapshot merges OOB mixed hx- cookbook reused / added
1 (baseline) Transaction Edit transaction/edit.clj 1608 ~12 1 2 ~75 0 8 — / seeded 7 entries
2 Transaction Edit transaction/edit.clj 1584 ~5 0 0 0 round-trip 0 8 — / 0

Phase 2 progress. Achieved with parity held (swap spec 6/6, transaction-edit spec 8/8, full suite 38 pass / 1 unrelated fail / 0 skip, up from 30/2/7):

  • deleted the dead *-no-cursor* twin (no-cursor 1→0);
  • de-faked the simple-mode cursor (faked roots 2→0) via explicit data + explicit field names (account-field-name) + explicit error lookup — the render-fn rewrite the with-field-default shortcut couldn't do;
  • collapsed the 5 manual-coding operation routes into one edit-form-changed dispatcher (routes ~12→~5; the operations are now pure apply-* fns);
  • fixed a real production bug (:mode → 500 on every advanced manual save);
  • greened transaction-edit.spec.ts (8/8) and matured the skill.

Still open for this modal — the wizard→plain-form rewrite (one interdependent effort): remove the snapshot round-trip (~75 merges → 0; this also fixes the operations-drop-live-values bug in gotchas.md), drop the mm/ModalWizardStep protocol, and Selmer-convert the shared interactive components (com/typeahead/com/select). Mixed string hx- attrs (8) clear as those components move to Selmer templates.
