# nuwiki — Project Specification
> Last updated: 2026-05-11
> Status: v1.0 (Phases 010) shipped; v1.1 (Phases 1118) in design
> ### Versioning convention
>
> - **v1.0** — the parsing + highlighting + navigation foundation. LSP server
> speaks the spec's §6.9 method set; editor glue provides install + setup
> + health check.
> - **v1.1** — full vimwiki replacement. Adds tags, diary, the
> text-manipulation command surface (toggle checkbox, change list symbol,
> format table, rename page, …), multi-wiki, HTML export commands,
> link-health diagnostics, and the keymap/text-object layer that matches
> vimwiki's daily-authoring ergonomics.

## 1. Overview
nuwiki is a Vim/Neovim plugin that provides full vimwiki syntax support, implemented as a Rust-based Language Server (LSP). It is a spiritual successor to vimwiki, architecturally distinct from it, designed for correctness, performance, and extensibility.
**Goals:**
- Full vimwiki syntax support (highlighting, navigation, link following, diagnostics)
- First-class support for both Vim 9+ and Neovim 0.5+
- Installable via standard plugin managers (lazy.nvim, vim-plug, Dein)
- Extensible to Markdown syntax without changes to core architecture
- Independently testable core library with no editor dependencies
**Non-goals (v1.0):**
- MediaWiki syntax support
- Multi-wiki configurations *(addressed in v1.1, see §12)*
- Incremental / tree-sitter parsing
- Browser-based or WASM build
**v1.1 scope** *(see §12 for the full plan)*:
- Vimwiki-parity command surface (`:Vimwiki*` compat aliases over LSP
`executeCommand`)
- Tags, diary, link health, HTML export commands, multi-wiki, folding

| Release binary | `nuwiki-ls-{version}-{target}.tar.gz` |
---
## 4. Technology Stack
| Concern | Choice | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Implementation language | Rust | Performance, type safety, single binary distribution, ideal for AST modelling |
| Editor integration | LSP over stdio | Works in both Vim and Neovim without a shared scripting language |
| LSP server library | `tower-lsp` | Async, tokio-based, higher-level than `lsp-server`; easier to start with |
2026-05-10 17:58:41 +00:00
| Parser library | None — hand-rolled recursive descent | Tokens are span-bearing structs that fit awkwardly into `winnow`/`nom` combinator style; resilience and error recovery are explicit in the parser code. Originally specified as `winnow`; revisited in Phase 4. |
| Cargo edition | 2021 | Current standard; required for resolver v2 |
| Cargo resolver | v2 | Required for edition 2021 workspaces |
| Vim glue layer | VimL (`plugin/nuwiki.vim`, `autoload/`) | Universal entry point for all plugin managers |
| Neovim glue layer | Lua (`lua/nuwiki/`) | First-class Neovim API access via `vim.lsp.start()` |

## 6. Architecture
### 6.1 Layer Model
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Consumer Layer │
│ (editor highlight, HTML export, TOC, …) │
└────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────┘
│ operates on
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ AST (nuwiki-core, shared) │
│ Document > Block nodes > Inline nodes │
└────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────┘
│ produced by
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Parser — syntax-specific (nuwiki-core) │
│ Registered per syntax; receives TokenStream │
└────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────┘
│ consumes
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Lexer — syntax-specific (nuwiki-core) │
│ Registered per syntax; receives raw text │
└────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────┘
│ reads
Raw text input
```
### 6.2 Crate Dependency Rules
```
nuwiki-ls → nuwiki-lsp → nuwiki-core
```
- `nuwiki-core` must never depend on `nuwiki-lsp` or `nuwiki-ls`
- `nuwiki-lsp` must never depend on `nuwiki-ls`
- The VimL and Lua editor layers must never contain logic — pure wiring only
### 6.3 Syntax Plugin Interface
Every syntax (vimwiki, future markdown) implements:
```
SyntaxPlugin
id: string -- "vimwiki" | "markdown"
display_name: string
file_extensions: string[] -- [".wiki"] | [".md"]
lexer: fn(text) → TokenStream
parser: fn(TokenStream) → DocumentNode
```
Registry:
```
SyntaxRegistry
register(plugin: SyntaxPlugin)
get(id: &str) → Option<&SyntaxPlugin>
detect_from_extension(ext: &str) → Option<&SyntaxPlugin>
```
All plugins must be `Send + Sync` (held in the LSP server registry).
### 6.4 AST Node Types
#### Document
```
DocumentNode
children: Vec<BlockNode>
metadata: PageMetadata -- title, nohtml, template, date
```
#### Block Nodes
```
HeadingNode level: 16 | children: Vec<InlineNode> | centered: bool
ParagraphNode children: Vec<InlineNode>
HorizontalRuleNode
BlockquoteNode children: Vec<BlockNode>
PreformattedNode content: String | language: Option<String>
MathBlockNode content: String | environment: Option<String>
ListNode ordered: bool | symbol: ListSymbol | items: Vec<ListItemNode>
DefinitionListNode items: Vec<DefinitionItemNode>
TableNode rows: Vec<TableRowNode> | has_header: bool
CommentNode content: String
ErrorNode raw: String | message: String -- resilient parse failure
```
#### Inline Nodes
```
TextNode content: String
BoldNode children: Vec<InlineNode>
ItalicNode children: Vec<InlineNode>
BoldItalicNode children: Vec<InlineNode>
StrikethroughNode children: Vec<InlineNode>
CodeNode content: String
SuperscriptNode children: Vec<InlineNode>
SubscriptNode children: Vec<InlineNode>
MathInlineNode content: String
KeywordNode keyword: Keyword -- TODO|DONE|STARTED|FIXME|FIXED|XXX
ColorNode color: String | children: Vec<InlineNode>
WikiLinkNode target: LinkTarget | description: Option<Vec<InlineNode>>
ExternalLinkNode url: String | description: Option<Vec<InlineNode>>
TransclusionNode url: String | alt: Option<String> | attrs: HashMap<String,String>
RawUrlNode url: String
```
#### Supporting Types
```
ListItemNode
symbol: ListSymbol
level: usize
checkbox: Option<CheckboxState>
children: Vec<InlineNode>
sublist: Option<ListNode>
DefinitionItemNode
term: Option<Vec<InlineNode>>
definitions: Vec<Vec<InlineNode>>
TableRowNode cells: Vec<TableCellNode> | is_header: bool
TableCellNode children: Vec<InlineNode> | col_span: bool | row_span: bool
LinkTarget
kind: LinkKind -- Wiki|Interwiki|Diary|File|Local|Raw|AnchorOnly
path: Option<String>
wiki_index: Option<usize>
wiki_name: Option<String>
anchor: Option<String>
is_absolute: bool
is_directory: bool
ListSymbol = Dash | Star | Hash | Numeric | NumericParen
| AlphaParen | AlphaUpperParen | RomanParen | RomanUpperParen
CheckboxState = Empty | Quarter | Half | ThreeQuarters | Done | Rejected
Keyword = Todo | Done | Started | Fixme | Fixed | Xxx
```
### 6.5 Span / Source Location
Every AST node carries a `Span`:
```rust
struct Span {
start: Position,
end: Position,
}
struct Position {
line: u32, -- 0-indexed
column: u32, -- 0-indexed, byte offset within line
offset: usize, -- absolute byte offset from document start
}
```
Spans are required for LSP diagnostics, semantic tokens, and go-to-definition.
### 6.6 Lexer Strategy
- **Two-pass:** block-level pass first, then inline pass within each block
- **Token types:** syntax-specific (`VimwikiToken`) — not shared across syntaxes
- **TokenStream:** eager `Vec<Token>` wrapped in a `TokenStream` newtype (changeable to lazy later)
- Operates on Rust `char`s for correctness; spans stored as byte offsets
### 6.7 Parser Strategy
- Uses `winnow` parser combinator library
- Resilient: on malformed input, emits `ErrorNode` and continues — never fails the whole document
- Inline marker precedence rules documented explicitly in code and tests
### 6.8 Renderer
- `Renderer` trait: writer-based (`fn render(&self, doc: &DocumentNode, w: &mut dyn Write)`)
- `HtmlRenderer` is the first implementation
- Link resolution injected as a callback at construction time
- Template support: minimal `{{content}}` / `{{title}}` token substitution
- CSS: linked external stylesheet (matches vimwiki convention)
### 6.9 LSP Features
| Feature | LSP Method |
|---|---|
| Syntax highlighting | `textDocument/semanticTokens/full` + `/range` |
| Diagnostics (broken links, parse errors) | `textDocument/publishDiagnostics` |
| Follow link / go to definition | `textDocument/definition` |
| Backlinks | `textDocument/references` |
| TOC / outline | `textDocument/documentSymbol` |
| Link preview | `textDocument/hover` |
| Link autocomplete | `textDocument/completion` (trigger: `[[`) |
| Page rename | `workspace/rename` |
| Workspace search | `workspace/symbol` |
### 6.10 Document Store
```
DocumentStore: Arc<DashMap<Url, DocumentState>>
DocumentState
text: String
ast: DocumentNode
version: i32
```
Full re-parse on every `didOpen` / `didChange`. Incremental parsing deferred post-v1.
### 6.11 UTF-16 / Position Encoding
LSP positions negotiated as UTF-8 (`positionEncoding = "utf-8"`) during `initialize` where the client supports LSP 3.17+. UTF-16 conversion fallback implemented in the LSP layer for older clients. `nuwiki-core` is always UTF-8 / byte-offset internally.

## 7. Editor Integration
### 7.1 Plugin Manager Installation
**lazy.nvim:**
```lua
{
"gffranco/nuwiki",
build = "lua require('nuwiki').install()",
ft = { "vimwiki" },
opts = {},
}
```
**vim-plug:**
```vim
Plug 'gffranco/nuwiki', { 'do': 'vim -e -s -c "source scripts/download_bin.vim" -c "q"' }
```
**Dein:**
```vim
call dein#add('gffranco/nuwiki', {
\ 'build': 'vim -e -s -c "source scripts/download_bin.vim" -c "q"'
\ })
```
### 7.2 Binary Distribution
- Pre-built binaries published as Gitea release assets
- Named: `nuwiki-ls-{version}-{target}.tar.gz`
- Downloaded at install time by `lua/nuwiki/install.lua` or `scripts/download_bin.vim`
- Fallback: `cargo build --release` if download fails or `g:nuwiki_build_from_source = 1`
- Binary installed to `{plugin_dir}/bin/nuwiki-ls[.exe]`
### 7.3 Editor Detection
```vim
" plugin/nuwiki.vim
if has('nvim')
lua require('nuwiki').setup()
else
call nuwiki#lsp#start()
endif
```
### 7.4 Vim LSP Client Preference Order (Vim only)
1. `vim-lsp` (matoto/vim-lsp)
2. `coc.nvim`
3. Error message if neither found
### 7.5 User Config Schema
```lua
require('nuwiki').setup({
wiki_root = "~/vimwiki", -- root directory of the wiki
file_extension = ".wiki", -- file extension to associate
syntax = "vimwiki", -- "vimwiki" | "markdown" (future)
log_level = "warn", -- "error"|"warn"|"info"|"debug"
})
```
### 7.6 Health Check
`:checkhealth nuwiki` verifies:
- Binary exists at `{plugin_dir}/bin/nuwiki-ls`
- Binary is executable and responds to `--version`
- LSP client is running
- Filetype detection works for `.wiki` files
---
## 8. CI/CD
### 8.1 Runner Setup
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| System | Gitea Actions (`act_runner`) |
| Mode | Docker (jobs run in containers) |
| Docker access | Host socket mounted (`/var/run/docker.sock`) |
| Internet access | Yes |
### 8.2 Workflow Files
**`.gitea/workflows/ci.yaml`** — triggers on every push and PR:
- `cargo fmt --check`
- `cargo clippy -- -D warnings`
- `cargo test --workspace`
**`.gitea/workflows/release.yaml`** — triggers on `v*` tag push:
- Cross-compile for all 4 Linux targets using `cross`
- Package binaries as `.tar.gz`
- Create Gitea release and upload assets via REST API using `RELEASE_TOKEN` secret
- crates.io publish is deferred — workflow ships the Gitea release only. Re-enable by adding a `cargo publish -p nuwiki-core` job once the crate is ready for publication.
### 8.3 Build Targets
| Target | Built by |
|---|---|
| `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` | CI (`cross`) |
| `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu` | CI (`cross`) |
| `x86_64-unknown-linux-musl` | CI (`cross`) |
| `aarch64-unknown-linux-musl` | CI (`cross`) |
| `x86_64-apple-darwin` | Manual |
| `aarch64-apple-darwin` | Manual |
| `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` | Manual |
### 8.4 Release Secrets
| Secret | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `RELEASE_TOKEN` | Gitea personal access token for creating releases and uploading assets |
| ~~`CARGO_REGISTRY_TOKEN`~~ | ~~crates.io API token for publishing `nuwiki-core`~~ — deferred (see §8.2) |
### 8.5 `actions/cache` Configuration
Requires `act_runner`'s `config.yaml` to have the cache server host set to the runner host's LAN IP so job containers can reach it.
### 8.6 Breaking Change Policy
A semver-breaking change (`v0.x``v0.x+1` or `v1.x``v2.0`) is defined as any of:
- AST node type additions, removals, or field changes in `nuwiki-core`
- `SyntaxPlugin` or `Renderer` trait signature changes
- User config schema key removals or type changes
- Removed LSP capabilities

## 11. Pending Decisions
These decisions are required before or during the phase indicated.
| # | Decision | Needed by | Options | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ~~P1~~ | ~~**License**~~ | ~~Phase 0~~ | ✅ **Dual MIT/Apache-2.0** | |
| ~~P2~~ | ~~**MSRV**~~ | ~~Phase 0~~ | ✅ **stable-2 (Rust 1.83)** | |
2026-05-10 16:25:24 +00:00
| ~~P3~~ | ~~**String representation in AST**~~ | ~~Phase 1~~ | ✅ **`String` (owned)** | |
| ~~P4~~ | ~~**Visitor pattern**~~ | ~~Phase 1~~ | ✅ **Defined in Phase 1** | Open-recursion `Visitor` trait + `walk_*` helpers |
| ~~P5~~ | ~~**Minimum Neovim version**~~ | ~~Phase 9~~ | ✅ **Neovim 0.11+** | Server registered via `vim.lsp.config{}` + `vim.lsp.enable`; a `vim.lsp.start` autocmd fallback is wired up but only fires when the declarative API is unavailable. |
| ~~P6~~ | ~~**Minimum Vim version**~~ | ~~Phase 9~~ | ✅ **Vim 9.1+** | autoload glue assumes 9.1 idioms; uses `vim-lsp` first, then falls back to `coc.nvim`. |
| ~~P7~~ | ~~**Semantic token type mapping**~~ | ~~Phase 7~~ | ✅ **Custom vimwiki-specific token types** | ~20 types (`vimwikiHeading`, `vimwikiBold`, …) + `level1`..`level6` + `centered` modifiers. Phase 9 ships default highlight groups in `syntax/nuwiki.vim` and the Lua glue. |
| ~~P8~~ | ~~**Workspace indexing strategy**~~ | ~~Phase 8~~ | ✅ **Lazy + background with progress** | Initial scan runs as a background tokio task; nav features answer with partial data until complete; progress reported via `window/workDoneProgress`. |
| ~~P9~~ | ~~**macOS runner**~~ | ~~Phase 10~~ | ✅ **Stay manual** | Release workflow cross-compiles the 4 Linux targets via `cross`; macOS + Windows binaries are produced ad hoc by maintainers and uploaded to the same Gitea release. Revisit when a Mac runner is available. |
| **v1.1 decisions** | | | | |
| P10 | **Command namespace** | Phase 13 | `:Vimwiki*` only · `:Nuwiki*` only · both | Both → easy migration *and* discoverable native commands; one canonical name + alias. |
| P11 | **Tag syntax** | Phase 12 | Strict vimwiki `:tag:` only · Add markdown `#tag` as a second flavour | Strict keeps parity; adding `#tag` collides with hash list markers and ordered-list `#`. |
| P12 | **List-edit transport** | Phase 14 | Server returns `WorkspaceEdit` from `executeCommand` · Editor-side text manipulation in VimL/Lua | `WorkspaceEdit` keeps logic in Rust + testable, but adds latency per keystroke for `<C-Space>`. |
| P13 | **Multi-wiki config shape** | Phase 18 | Lua list (Neovim-native) · JSON config file (cross-editor) | Lua is ergonomic for Neovim; JSON works for Vim + arbitrary clients. |
| ~~P14~~ | ~~**Folding mechanism**~~ | ~~Phase 19~~ | ✅ **LSP `textDocument/foldingRange` (primary) + `foldexpr` fallback** | Server already has the AST + heading boundaries — duplicating that knowledge as regex in VimL would be lossy. `foldexpr` ships in `ftplugin` as a fallback for when the server hasn't attached. |
| P15 | **Diary path scheme** | Phase 16 | Fixed `<wiki_root>/diary/` · Per-wiki configurable `diary_rel_path` | Vimwiki has `diary_rel_path`; matching keeps migrations clean. |
| P16 | **Backwards-compat for v1.0 config** | Phase 18 | Preserve old single-`wiki_root` shape · Force migration to `wikis = [...]` | Single-wiki should keep working without re-config; `wiki_root` becomes sugar for `wikis = [{ root = wiki_root }]`. |
| P17 | **Markdown syntax in v1.1** | Phase 12+ | Include · Defer to v1.2 | Architecture already supports it (`SyntaxPlugin`); cost is parser work + per-syntax differences in commands. |
| P18 | **Server-config transport** | Phase 11 | `initializationOptions` only · `workspace/didChangeConfiguration` only · both | Both → simple boot path *and* live reload. Initialise at startup, accept change notifications afterwards. |
---
## 12. v1.1 — Full vimwiki Replacement
v1.0 shipped the parsing + highlighting + navigation foundation. A vimwiki
user transitioning to nuwiki today gets accurate syntax recognition and
modern LSP nav, but loses the dense interactive layer that makes vimwiki
ergonomic for daily authoring: ≈40 `:Vimwiki*` commands, ≈60 keymaps, the
diary, the tag system, link health, HTML export commands, and multi-wiki
configuration.
v1.1 closes that gap. The architecture is unchanged — every new editing
operation lands as an LSP `executeCommand` returning a `WorkspaceEdit`, so
the `nuwiki-core` AST stays the single source of truth and the editor glue
stays pure wiring.
### 12.1 Stability commitment
v1.1 is additive. The following stay backward-compatible:
- `nuwiki-core` public AST + Visitor (additions only; no field renames)
- LSP capabilities advertised in v1.0
- `Renderer` trait + `HtmlRenderer` default output shape
- v1.0 user-config keys (`wiki_root`, `file_extension`, `syntax`, `log_level`)
New AST nodes (e.g. `TagNode`) and new LSP capabilities are opt-in by
inspection. The Visitor trait gains default-bodied `visit_*` methods for new
node kinds so existing Visitor implementations don't break.
### 12.2 Plumbing prerequisites (Phase 11)
Cross-cutting infrastructure that every later v1.1 phase depends on.
Landing it as Phase 11 — before any user-visible feature — keeps Phases
1219 mechanical instead of full of "oh we also need to refactor X".
#### 12.2.1 Server config receipt (P18)
Per P18: both `initializationOptions` and `workspace/didChangeConfiguration`
land in Phase 11.
- `initialize.initializationOptions` carries the full v1.1 config (§12.11
schema) verbatim. Parsed into a server-side `Config` struct.
- `workspace/didChangeConfiguration` re-applies the config for live reload.
- Every handler reads from a single `Arc<RwLock<Config>>` field on
`Backend`.
```rust
pub struct Config {
pub log_level: LogLevel,
pub diagnostic: DiagnosticConfig,
pub wikis: Vec<WikiConfig>, // always ≥ 1; v1.0-shape desugars
// …
}
impl Config {
pub fn from_init_options(value: serde_json::Value) -> Self;
pub fn from_v1_0_compat(legacy: LegacyConfig) -> Self; // P16 path
}
```
#### 12.2.2 `WorkspaceEditBuilder` + span helpers
New module `crates/nuwiki-lsp/src/edits.rs`:
```rust
pub fn text_edit_replace(span: Span, replacement: String, text: &str, utf8: bool) -> TextEdit;
pub fn text_edit_insert(pos: Position, content: String) -> TextEdit;
pub fn text_edit_delete(span: Span, text: &str, utf8: bool) -> TextEdit;
pub fn op_rename(old: Url, new: Url) -> DocumentChangeOperation;
pub fn op_delete(uri: Url) -> DocumentChangeOperation;
pub struct WorkspaceEditBuilder {
changes: HashMap<Url, Vec<TextEdit>>,
file_ops: Vec<DocumentChangeOperation>,
}
impl WorkspaceEditBuilder {
pub fn edit(&mut self, uri: Url, edit: TextEdit) -> &mut Self;
pub fn file_op(&mut self, op: DocumentChangeOperation) -> &mut Self;
pub fn build(self) -> WorkspaceEdit;
}
```
All v1.1 commands that produce `WorkspaceEdit` (Phases 1317) go through
the builder. Standardises UTF-8/UTF-16 conversion and document-change
ordering.
#### 12.2.3 Closed-doc loader
```rust
pub struct DocSnapshot {
pub text: String,
pub ast: DocumentNode,
pub in_memory: bool, // held in `documents` DashMap
}
impl Backend {
pub async fn read_or_open(&self, uri: &Url) -> io::Result<DocSnapshot>;
}
```
If the URI is in `documents`, return live state. Otherwise read the file
from disk and re-parse so cross-document operations (Phase 13
`workspace/rename`) can compute accurate spans + UTF-16 conversions
instead of trusting stale `WorkspaceIndex` data.
#### 12.2.4 Diagnostic source chain
Today's `ast_diagnostics(&ast, &text, utf8)` is replaced by a composable
collector:
```rust
pub fn collect_diagnostics(
ast: &DocumentNode,
text: &str,
index: Option<&WorkspaceIndex>,
page_name: Option<&str>,
cfg: &DiagnosticConfig,
utf8: bool,
) -> Vec<Diagnostic>;
```
Composes:
1. Parse errors (`ErrorNode` walk; already shipped)
2. Broken-link warnings (Phase 15)
3. (future) other sources
Each gated by `cfg`. Per-source severity is config-driven.
#### 12.2.5 `Wiki` aggregate
Single-wiki state becomes a `Wiki` aggregate, even though Phase 11 only
ever builds one entry. Phase 18 then changes config shape, not data
structures.
```rust
pub struct WikiId(u32);
pub struct WikiConfig {
pub name: String,
pub root: PathBuf,
pub file_extension: String,
pub syntax: String,
pub diary_rel_path: String,
pub html_path: PathBuf,
pub template_path: PathBuf,
// … all per-wiki options
}
pub struct Wiki {
pub id: WikiId,
pub config: WikiConfig,
pub index: Arc<RwLock<WorkspaceIndex>>,
}
struct Backend {
// …
wikis: Arc<RwLock<Vec<Wiki>>>,
}
impl Backend {
fn resolve_uri_to_wiki(&self, uri: &Url) -> Option<WikiId>; // longest-prefix root match
fn wiki(&self, id: WikiId) -> Option<Arc<Wiki>>;
fn default_wiki(&self) -> Option<Arc<Wiki>>;
}
```
`WorkspaceIndex` itself doesn't gain any new responsibilities in this
phase — it just lives inside a `Wiki`. All v1.0 handlers that today read
the single `index` field get refactored to call `default_wiki()` (or
`resolve_uri_to_wiki()` where the URI is known).
#### 12.2.6 What does *not* change
Explicitly out of scope for Phase 11:
- AST shape (no new node kinds — Tags wait for Phase 12)
- LSP capability set (no new providers — capabilities expand from Phase 13)
- HtmlRenderer surface (Phase 17 extends the template substitution set)
- Anything user-visible (this phase is invisible to clients)
#### 12.2.7 Tests
Phase 11 is fully covered by unit tests on the new helpers:
- `WorkspaceEditBuilder`: multi-uri accumulation, file-op ordering,
UTF-16 conversion for non-ASCII spans.
- `read_or_open`: live doc returns `in_memory: true`; missing path
returns `Err`; on-disk path returns `in_memory: false` with parsed AST.
- `collect_diagnostics`: parse errors emitted; link-health stub returns
empty until Phase 15 wires it.
- `Config::from_init_options`: legacy single-wiki shape desugars to
one-entry `wikis = [...]`.
- `Backend::resolve_uri_to_wiki`: longest-prefix match wins.
### 12.3 Tags (Phase 12)
#### Syntax
Vimwiki tags are colon-delimited sequences of non-space characters:
```
:tag-one:tag-two:other-tag:
```
Placement rules (matching vimwiki):
- On line 1 or 2 of a file → file-level tag
- Within 2 lines after a `= Heading =` → header-level tag
- Otherwise → standalone anchor at the source line
#### AST additions
```
TagNode (block)
span: Span
tags: Vec<String>
scope: TagScope -- File | Heading(idx) | Standalone
PageMetadata (extend)
tags: Vec<String> -- file-level tags, accumulated
```
`TagNode` slots into `BlockNode` as a new variant. The Visitor gains
`visit_tag` (default-bodied).
#### Indexing
`WorkspaceIndex` extends `IndexedPage` with:
```
IndexedPage (extend)
tags: Vec<TagInfo>
TagInfo
name: String
scope: TagScope
span: Span
```
Plus a `tags_by_name: HashMap<String, Vec<(Url, Span)>>` reverse map. The
existing backlink machinery in §6 stays as-is.
#### LSP behaviour
- `tags-as-anchors` extends `textDocument/definition`: `[[Page#some-tag]]`
resolves to the tag's location in the target page (in addition to headings).
- `workspace/symbol` results include tags (with `SymbolKind::PROPERTY` or a
custom kind).
- New `executeCommand` operations: `nuwiki.tags.search`,
`nuwiki.tags.generateLinks(tag, ...)`, `nuwiki.tags.rebuild` (force re-index).
### 12.4 Workspace edits + `executeCommand` (Phase 13)
> **Note on closed documents.** When `workspace/rename` rewrites incoming
> links across pages that are *not* open in the editor, the server uses the
> Phase 11 closed-doc loader (`read_or_open`) to re-parse them on demand.
> Stored `WorkspaceIndex` spans are byte-accurate but may have drifted if
> the on-disk file changed outside the editor; the re-parse guarantees we
> emit `TextEdit`s against the current source text and convert to LSP
> positions correctly (esp. for non-ASCII content under UTF-16 encoding).
#### Capability
```
ServerCapabilities {
execute_command_provider: Some(ExecuteCommandOptions {
commands: vec!["nuwiki.*", …],
}),
rename_provider: Some(true),
workspace: Some(WorkspaceServerCapabilities {
file_operations: Some(FileOperationOptions {
will_rename: Some(...),
did_rename: Some(...),
will_delete: Some(...),
did_delete: Some(...),
}),
}),
}
```
#### `workspace/rename` semantics
When a user renames `Page A``Page B`:
1. Server emits a `WorkspaceEdit` containing a `RenameFile` op (`A.wiki`
`B.wiki`).
2. For every page in the index that links to `A`, the edit also rewrites
`[[A]]``[[B]]` (preserving description, anchor, kind).
3. Anchors don't trigger renames — `[[A#anchor]]` follows.
#### Custom commands router
A single `executeCommand` handler dispatches by command name. Every command
takes either:
```
{ uri: Url, position?: Position, range?: Range, ...args }
```
and returns a `WorkspaceEdit` (which the client applies via
`workspace/applyEdit`).
### 12.5 List & table editing commands (Phase 14)
| Command | Operates on | Result |
|---|---|---|
| `nuwiki.list.toggleCheckbox` | list item under cursor | `[ ]``[X]`, propagates parent state |
| `nuwiki.list.cycleCheckbox` | list item | `[ ]``[.]``[o]``[O]``[X]` cycle |
| `nuwiki.list.rejectCheckbox` | list item | toggle `[-]` rejected state |
| `nuwiki.list.changeSymbol` | list item, args: `symbol: ListSymbol`, `whole_list: bool` | rewrite marker, renumber if numeric |
| `nuwiki.list.changeLevel` | list item, args: `delta: i32`, `whole_subtree: bool` | re-indent + adjust child levels |
| `nuwiki.list.renumber` | list, args: `whole_file: bool` | re-sequence numeric markers |
| `nuwiki.list.removeDone` | range or current list | remove every `[X]` / `[-]` item and its checked children |
| `nuwiki.list.nextTask` | document | navigate to next unfinished task (returns `Location`, not edit) |
| `nuwiki.table.align` | table under cursor | reformat columns to max width |
| `nuwiki.table.moveColumn` | cell, args: `dir: "left"\|"right"` | swap column with neighbour |
| `nuwiki.table.insert` | cursor, args: `cols, rows` | insert blank table at cursor |
| `nuwiki.heading.addLevel` | heading | promote (`==``===`) |
| `nuwiki.heading.removeLevel` | heading | demote |
| `nuwiki.link.normalize` | word/selection | convert to `[[wikilink]]`, add description if missing |
| `nuwiki.link.pasteWikilink` | cursor | paste current page name as an absolute wikilink |
| `nuwiki.link.pasteUrl` | cursor | paste the corresponding HTML output URL |
| `nuwiki.colorize` | range, args: `color: String` | wrap in colour tag per `color_tag_template` |
All operations resolve to a textual diff over the existing source so the
AST stays the source of truth. None of them rely on editor-side state.
### 12.6 Link health + TOC/index generation (Phase 15)
#### Broken-link diagnostics
A new diagnostic source `nuwiki.link` runs after each parse:
- Wiki target → not in `WorkspaceIndex` → severity from config (default
`Warning`)
- Anchor target → page exists but anchor doesn't → `Warning`
- `file:` / `local:` → file exists on disk → `Warning` if missing
- Raw URL / external → never diagnosed (we don't fetch)
- Configurable filtering via `diagnostic.link.severity` (`off|hint|warn|error`)
#### Commands
| Command | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| `nuwiki.toc.generate` | inserts a nested list of headings in the current page; replaces existing `%toc` placeholder if present |
| `nuwiki.links.generate` | inserts a flat list of all wiki pages (vimwiki's `:VimwikiGenerateLinks`) |
| `nuwiki.workspace.checkLinks` | returns a `Vec<BrokenLink>` for the client to render in a quickfix-style view; also emits diagnostics |
| `nuwiki.workspace.findOrphans` | returns pages with no incoming links |
### 12.7 Diary (Phase 16)
> **Date parsing.** Diary entries use `YYYY-MM-DD` (and `YYYY-Www`,
> `YYYY-MM`, `YYYY` for non-daily frequencies). v1.1 ships a small
> hand-rolled parser/formatter in `nuwiki-core` for these formats —
> no `chrono` / `time` dependency. The parsable surface is small enough
> that the dependency cost outweighs the convenience.
#### Path conventions
```
<wiki_root>/<diary_rel_path>/ # default: "diary"
diary.wiki # configurable: diary_index
2026-05-11.wiki # daily: YYYY-MM-DD
2026-W19.wiki # weekly: YYYY-Www (configurable)
2026-05.wiki # monthly
2026.wiki # yearly
```
#### Custom commands
| Command | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| `nuwiki.diary.openToday` | open / create today's diary page |
| `nuwiki.diary.openYesterday` | analogous |
| `nuwiki.diary.openTomorrow` | analogous |
| `nuwiki.diary.openIndex` | open the diary index page |
| `nuwiki.diary.generateIndex` | rebuild the diary index page with current entries grouped by year/month |
| `nuwiki.diary.next` | navigate to the chronologically next diary entry from the current one |
| `nuwiki.diary.prev` | analogous |
#### Calendar hook
External plugins (Calendar.vim, neorg-style calendars) can query:
- `nuwiki.diary.listEntries(year, month)` → list of dates with entries
- `nuwiki.diary.openForDate(date)` → opens that date's entry
These are `executeCommand` operations, not LSP standard methods.
### 12.8 HTML export commands (Phase 17)
The `HtmlRenderer` from Phase 5 stays as the engine. v1.1 wraps it in
user-facing commands and the per-wiki HTML lifecycle.
#### Per-wiki HTML options
| Key | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `html_path` | `<wiki_root>/_html` | output directory |
| `template_path` | `<wiki_root>/_templates` | template lookup root |
| `template_default` | `default` | base template name |
| `template_ext` | `.tpl` | template extension |
| `template_date_format` | `%Y-%m-%d` | format passed to `{{date}}` |
| `css_name` | `style.css` | CSS file copied/created at export |
| `auto_export` | `false` | export on save |
| `html_filename_parameterization` | `false` | URL-safe slugs in output filenames |
| `exclude_files` | `[]` | globs to skip |
#### Commands
| Command | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| `nuwiki.export.currentToHtml` | render current page; honours `%template`, copies CSS if missing |
| `nuwiki.export.allToHtml` | export every page in the wiki |
| `nuwiki.export.allToHtmlForce` | `:VimwikiAll2HTML!` equivalent |
| `nuwiki.export.browse` | export current + open default browser to result |
| `nuwiki.export.rss` | emit `rss.xml` of recent diary entries (when diary enabled) |
#### Template variables
The `HtmlRenderer` template substitution gains:
- `{{title}}` (already shipped)
- `{{content}}` (already shipped)
- `{{date}}` (formatted via `template_date_format`)
- `{{root_path}}` (relative path from output to `html_path` — for stylesheet
hrefs in nested pages)
- `{{toc}}` (rendered TOC for current page)
### 12.9 Multi-wiki (Phase 18)
> **Data-structure pre-work.** The `Wiki` aggregate, `WorkspaceIndex`
> per-wiki ownership, and `Backend::resolve_uri_to_wiki` already landed
> in Phase 11 with a single-entry `wikis` list. Phase 18 is therefore
> a *config-shape* change (accept `wikis = [...]` from
> `initializationOptions`) and *resolution-policy* change (interwiki
> links resolve through the matching wiki's index) — not a refactor of
> the data flow.
#### Config shape
```lua
require('nuwiki').setup({
wikis = {
{
name = 'personal',
root = '~/vimwiki',
file_extension = '.wiki',
syntax = 'vimwiki',
diary_rel_path = 'diary',
html_path = '~/vimwiki/_html',
-- … any per-wiki option
},
{
name = 'work',
root = '~/work-notes',
syntax = 'vimwiki',
},
},
log_level = 'warn',
})
```
The v1.0 single-wiki shape continues to work; internally it desugars to
`wikis = [{ root = wiki_root, file_extension = file_extension, syntax = syntax }]`.
#### Per-wiki context
`WorkspaceIndex` becomes one per wiki. Backend holds:
```
indexes: Arc<DashMap<WikiId, Arc<RwLock<WorkspaceIndex>>>>
```
URI → wiki resolution walks the URI's filesystem path upward, matching
against each registered root. Cross-wiki links (interwiki) resolve through
the matching wiki's index.
#### Custom commands
| Command | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| `nuwiki.wiki.select` | client-side picker over `wikis`; resolves to a wiki id |
| `nuwiki.wiki.openIndex` | open the selected wiki's `index.wiki` |
| `nuwiki.wiki.tabOpenIndex` | open in new tab (client-side) |
| `nuwiki.wiki.listAll` | returns the registered wikis for editor UIs |
### 12.10 Editor glue v2 (Phase 19)
The thickest user-facing layer. Per SPEC §6.3 it still contains no logic —
every command body is a wrapper that issues `workspace/executeCommand`.
#### `:Vimwiki*` command compatibility
`ftplugin/nuwiki.vim` defines every command listed in §4 of vimwiki's help,
mapped to the corresponding `executeCommand`:
| Vimwiki command | nuwiki implementation |
|---|---|
| `:VimwikiIndex` `[count]` | `nuwiki.wiki.openIndex(count)` |
| `:VimwikiTabIndex` | tab-open variant |
| `:VimwikiUISelect` | `nuwiki.wiki.select` |
| `:VimwikiDiaryIndex` | `nuwiki.diary.openIndex` |
| `:VimwikiMakeDiaryNote` | `nuwiki.diary.openToday` |
| `:VimwikiMakeYesterdayDiaryNote` | `nuwiki.diary.openYesterday` |
| `:VimwikiMakeTomorrowDiaryNote` | `nuwiki.diary.openTomorrow` |
| `:VimwikiFollowLink` | client `vim.lsp.buf.definition()` |
| `:VimwikiGoBackLink` | client `<C-o>` (jumplist) |
| `:VimwikiSplitLink` / `:VimwikiVSplitLink` | client-side `:split`/`:vsplit` + `definition` |
| `:VimwikiTabnewLink` / `:VimwikiTabDropLink` | client-side `:tabnew` + `definition` |
| `:VimwikiNextLink` / `:VimwikiPrevLink` | `nuwiki.cursor.nextLink` / `prevLink` |
| `:VimwikiGoto {name}` | `nuwiki.wiki.gotoPage(name)` |
| `:VimwikiDeleteFile` | server-side delete via `executeCommand` |
| `:VimwikiRenameFile` | client prompt → `workspace/rename` |
| `:VimwikiRemoveDone` | `nuwiki.list.removeDone` |
| `:VimwikiNextTask` | `nuwiki.list.nextTask` |
| `:Vimwiki2HTML` | `nuwiki.export.currentToHtml` |
| `:Vimwiki2HTMLBrowse` | `nuwiki.export.browse` |
| `:VimwikiAll2HTML[!]` | `nuwiki.export.allToHtml[Force]` |
| `:VimwikiRss` | `nuwiki.export.rss` |
| `:VimwikiToggleListItem` | `nuwiki.list.toggleCheckbox` |
| `:VimwikiToggleRejectedListItem` | `nuwiki.list.rejectCheckbox` |
| `:VimwikiListChangeLvl CMD` | `nuwiki.list.changeLevel` / `changeSymbol` |
| `:VimwikiSearch` / `:VWS` | client `:lvimgrep` wrapper over wiki root |
| `:VimwikiBacklinks` / `:VWB` | client `vim.lsp.buf.references()` |
| `:VimwikiTable [cols] [rows]` | `nuwiki.table.insert` |
| `:VimwikiTableMoveColumnLeft/Right` | `nuwiki.table.moveColumn` |
| `:VimwikiGenerateLinks` | `nuwiki.links.generate` |
| `:VimwikiDiaryGenerateLinks` | `nuwiki.diary.generateIndex` |
| `:VimwikiDiaryNextDay` / `:VimwikiDiaryPrevDay` | `nuwiki.diary.next/prev` |
| `:VimwikiTOC` | `nuwiki.toc.generate` |
| `:VimwikiCheckLinks` | `nuwiki.workspace.checkLinks` |
| `:VimwikiRebuildTags` | `nuwiki.tags.rebuild` |
| `:VimwikiSearchTags {tag}` | `nuwiki.tags.search` |
| `:VimwikiGenerateTagLinks` | `nuwiki.tags.generateLinks` |
| `:VimwikiColorize {color}` | `nuwiki.colorize` |
| `:VimwikiPasteLink` | `nuwiki.link.pasteWikilink` |
| `:VimwikiPasteUrl` | `nuwiki.link.pasteUrl` |
Each `:Vimwiki*` form ships with a matching `:Nuwiki*` alias (P10
resolution).
#### Default keymaps
`g:nuwiki_key_mappings` (Vim) / `mappings = { … }` (Neovim) controls
opt-in keymap registration. Default: enabled; group flags let users disable
the table/list/heading/diary subsets independently.
Buffer-local maps mirror vimwiki:
- `<Leader>ww` / `<Leader>wt` / `<Leader>ws` / `<Leader>wi` /
`<Leader>w<Leader>w` etc. — wiki navigation
- `<CR>` / `<S-CR>` / `<C-CR>` / `<M-CR>` / `<C-S-CR>` — link follow variants
- `<Backspace>` / `<Tab>` / `<S-Tab>` — link history + per-page link navigation
- `=` / `-` / `[[` / `]]` / `[=` / `]=` / `]u` / `[u` — header manipulation +
navigation (pure VimL/Lua, regex over current buffer — no LSP round-trip)
- `+``nuwiki.link.normalize`
- `<C-Space>``nuwiki.list.toggleCheckbox`
- `gnt``nuwiki.list.nextTask`
- `gl<Space>` / `gL<Space>` — checkbox remove (single / list)
- `gln` / `glp` — checkbox cycle up/down
- `gll` / `gLl` / `glh` / `gLh` — list level change (single / subtree)
- `glr` / `gLr` — list renumber
- `gl*` / `gl#` / `gl-` / `gl+` / `gl1` / `gla` / `glA` / `gli` / `glI`
list symbol change (single / subtree variants `gL`*)
- `glx``:VimwikiToggleRejectedListItem`
- `gqq` / `gww` / `gq1` / `gw1` — table align
- `<A-Left>` / `<A-Right>` — table move column
- `<C-Up>` / `<C-Down>` — diary prev/next day
- `<Leader>wh` / `<Leader>whh` — HTML export current / browse
- `<Leader>wc` — colorize (asks for colour)
- `<Leader>wn` — goto/create new page
- `<Leader>wd` / `<Leader>wr` — delete / rename current page
- Mouse: `<2-LeftMouse>`, `<S-2-LeftMouse>`, `<C-2-LeftMouse>`,
`<RightMouse><LeftMouse>` (opt-in via `g:nuwiki_mouse_mappings`)
#### Insert-mode behaviour
- Table cells: `<CR>`/`<Tab>`/`<S-Tab>` navigate cells, create rows
on overflow; implemented in Lua/VimL via a small autocmd
- Lists: `<CR>` inserts the next bullet/number; `<S-CR>` continues without
a new bullet; `<C-T>`/`<C-D>` indent/dedent; `<C-L><C-J>`/`<C-L><C-K>`
cycle the list symbol; `<C-L><C-M>` toggles a list item on/off
- All gated by `b:did_ftplugin` and remappable
#### Text objects
`omap`/`xmap` defining:
| Object | Selects |
|---|---|
| `ah` / `ih` | a header (with/without trailing blank lines + header line itself) |
| `aH` / `iH` | a header + all sub-headers ([count] climbs parent levels) |
| `a\` / `i\` | a table cell |
| `ac` / `ic` | a table column |
| `al` / `il` | a list item (with/without children) |
Pure VimL/Lua — no LSP round-trip. Reuses our AST-shaped regexes.
#### Folding
Per P14 resolution; the spec'd default (subject to that decision):
- `setlocal foldmethod=expr` + `foldexpr=NuwikiFold(v:lnum)` (or LSP
`foldingRange` driving it on Neovim 0.11+)
- Folds at heading boundaries; nested headings nest folds
- List-item folds when configured via `g:nuwiki_folding = 'list'`
- Custom variant via `g:nuwiki_folding = 'custom'`
#### Health check additions
`:checkhealth nuwiki` v1.1 reports:
- LSP commands registered (per command name)
- Index loaded for each registered wiki
- Tags table built
- HTML output path writable
- Default keymaps installed (or disabled by config)
### 12.11 Updated user-config schema
```lua
require('nuwiki').setup({
-- single-wiki shorthand (v1.0 compat)
wiki_root = '~/vimwiki',
file_extension = '.wiki',
syntax = 'vimwiki',
log_level = 'warn',
-- or the v1.1 multi-wiki form
wikis = {
{
name = 'personal',
root = '~/vimwiki',
file_extension = '.wiki',
syntax = 'vimwiki',
diary_rel_path = 'diary',
diary_frequency = 'daily', -- daily | weekly | monthly | yearly
diary_start_week_day = 'monday',
template_path = '~/vimwiki/_templates',
template_default = 'default',
template_ext = '.tpl',
css_name = 'style.css',
html_path = '~/vimwiki/_html',
auto_export = false,
auto_toc = false,
auto_tags = false,
exclude_files = {},
bullet_types = { '-', '*', '#' },
listsyms = ' .oOX',
listsym_rejected = '-',
listsyms_propagate = true,
color_dic = { red = 'red', green = 'green' },
},
},
-- workspace-wide behaviour
diagnostic = {
link_severity = 'warn', -- off | hint | warn | error
},
mappings = {

table_editing = true,
list_editing = true,
header_nav = true,
diary = true,
html_export = true,
mouse = false,
},
folding = 'syntax', -- off | syntax | list | custom
})
```
### 12.12 Updated §9 syntax checklist (additions)
The following items extend the v1.0 checklist:
#### Tags
- [ ] Inline tag sequence: `:tag-one:tag-two:`
- [ ] File-level tag (line 12 of a wiki page)
- [ ] Header-level tag (within 2 lines after a heading)
- [ ] Tag-as-anchor target (`[[Page#some-tag]]`)
- [ ] Hex-colour code rendering in code blocks (`` `#ffe119` ``)
#### Tables (additions)
- [ ] Column-alignment markers in header separator: `|:--|` / `|:--:|` / `|--:|`
#### Lists (parser extensions)
- [ ] Multi-line list item (indented continuation lines)
- [ ] Mixed-symbol lists at the same level
### 12.13 Updated CI/CD
No new workflow files. The existing `ci.yaml` continues to gate
`fmt`/`clippy`/`test`. New phases land behind feature additions in the
existing crates; the test suite grows accordingly.

## 13. Pending Implementation
Items specified in earlier phases but not yet implemented. Tracked here
so a future audit doesn't have to re-derive the scope from the per-phase
prose. Each entry includes the originating SPEC section, why it was
deferred, and a sketch of what the implementation needs.
### 13.1 Phase 14 — list/table/link/colorize commands
Phase 14 shipped a focused subset (checkbox toggle/cycle/reject,
nextTask navigation, heading promote/demote). The structural-rewriter
commands below were deferred — each needs its own AST-aware rewriter,
and they don't share enough scaffolding to land together cheaply.
| Command | SPEC | What it does | Sketch |
|---|---|---|---|
| `nuwiki.list.changeSymbol` | §12.5 | Rewrite list marker (`-``*``#``1.` …), single item or whole list (`whole_list: bool` arg). | Locate item span via existing `find_list_item_at`; rewrite the marker token; if `whole_list` and numeric, renumber. |
| `nuwiki.list.changeLevel` | §12.5 | Indent/dedent one item or a subtree (`delta: i32`, `whole_subtree: bool`). | Compute leading-whitespace delta per line; re-indent each line of the item span; if subtree, descend into `ListItemNode.sublist`. |
| `nuwiki.list.renumber` | §12.5 | Re-sequence numeric markers across a list or a whole file (`whole_file: bool`). | Walk every `ListNode` whose `symbol` is `Numeric`/`NumericParen`/`AlphaParen`/…; rewrite the marker substrings in source order. |
| `nuwiki.list.removeDone` | §12.5 | Strip `[X]` / `[-]` items and their checked children. | Recursive list walker emitting delete spans for matching items; also delete the trailing newline so the surrounding list stays valid. |
| `nuwiki.table.align` | §12.5 | Reformat columns to max width. | Two-pass: width-per-column scan, then re-render every row with padding; respect `>` (col span) and `\/` (row span) markers. |
| `nuwiki.table.moveColumn` | §12.5 | Swap column with neighbour (`dir: "left" \| "right"`). | Locate `TableNode` under cursor; for each row, swap `cells[col]` and `cells[col±1]`; re-emit. |
| `nuwiki.table.insert` | §12.5 | Insert blank table at cursor (`cols`, `rows`). | Pure string templating; align outputs to current indentation. |
| `nuwiki.link.normalize` | §12.5 | Convert word/selection to `[[wikilink]]`, add description if missing. | Inspect cursor selection; if a plain word, wrap in `[[…]]`; if already a wikilink, ensure `\|description` is present. |
| `nuwiki.link.pasteWikilink` | §12.5 | Paste current page name as an absolute wikilink. | One-line insert; page name from `index::page_name_from_uri`. |
| `nuwiki.link.pasteUrl` | §12.5 | Paste the corresponding HTML output URL. | Blocked on Phase 17 (`html_path` / `html_filename_parameterization` config). |
| `nuwiki.colorize` | §12.5 | Wrap range in colour tag per `color_tag_template`. | Blocked on Phase 17 (`color_dic` config) — until then the template isn't reachable. |
#### Estimated sequencing
- **Cluster A (list rewriters)** — `changeSymbol`, `changeLevel`,
`renumber`, `removeDone` share a list-walker pattern. Likely one
PR with a shared `ops::list_walker` helper and four command handlers.
- **Cluster B (table rewriters)** — `align`, `moveColumn`, `insert`
share a column-width pass and a row-by-row re-emitter. Likely a
second PR.
- **Cluster C (link helpers)** — `normalize` and `pasteWikilink` are
small and don't share much; can land independently.
- **Phase-17-blocked** — `pasteUrl` and `colorize` wait until the
HTML export commands land the necessary config keys.
### 13.2 Phase 13 — `will_rename` / `will_delete` capability
The Phase 17 backfill (commit `ad1b55a`) advertised `did_rename` and
`did_delete` but intentionally left `will_rename` / `will_delete` off.
Those variants return a `WorkspaceEdit` synchronously from the server —
useful for, e.g., rewriting all incoming `[[Page]]` links *before* a
client-initiated file rename commits to disk. Implementation would
share most of the cross-doc rewrite logic from
`rename::compute_rename` (Phase 13) but at a different LSP entry point.
Deferred because the value proposition over the existing
`workspace/rename` flow is marginal and the editor-side support is
inconsistent across clients.
### 13.3 v1.1 phase 19
2026-05-11 21:24:32 +00:00
Tracked in §10 with status `⏳`. Not "missing" from earlier phases —
it's future work in the v1.1 roadmap:
2026-05-11 21:24:32 +00:00
- **Phase 19** — Editor glue v2: `:Vimwiki*` compat layer, default
keymaps, text objects, folding (P14 already resolved in favour of
LSP `foldingRange` + `foldexpr` fallback).
Earlier v1.1 phases now shipped:
- Phase 17 (HTML export commands) — `currentToHtml`,
`allToHtml[Force]`, `browse`, `rss`, template-file + fallback
resolution, `{{date}}` / `{{root_path}}` / `{{toc}}` / `{{css}}`
template variables, and `did_save` auto-export when
`auto_export = true`. `color_dic` integration with the `ColorNode`
renderer is still open (only useful once §13.1 `colorize` lands),
as is the §13.1 `link.pasteUrl` follow-up that depends on the same
export config.
- Phase 18 (multi-wiki) — `wikis = [...]` config shape was already
accepted by Phase 11 plumbing; this phase added the cross-wiki
interwiki resolver (`Backend::resolve_target_uri` /
`heading_range_for` route `[[wiki<N>:Page]]` and
`[[wn.<Name>:Page]]` to the destination wiki's index) and four
picker commands: `nuwiki.wiki.listAll`, `nuwiki.wiki.select`,
`nuwiki.wiki.openIndex`, `nuwiki.wiki.tabOpenIndex`, plus
`nuwiki.wiki.gotoPage` for the `:VimwikiGoto` compat surface.

### 13.4 §9 syntax checklist status
The §9 checklist tracks every vimwiki-syntax surface. Items currently
marked `[ ]` there are parser-level coverage assertions, not missing
commands — they're driven by the existing test suite, not by Phase
14+ command work. Don't confuse "syntax checklist unchecked" with
"feature missing" — most of those rows are exercised by the parser
tests under `crates/nuwiki-core/tests/` and just haven't had their
checkboxes ticked.
