# Blacksite editor UX

Read [the editor UX rubric](references/editor-ux-rubric.md). Before implementing meaningful UI behavior, record a compact interaction-state matrix in session state or the active plan.

Cover only relevant states, but explicitly consider empty, single/multi-selection, narrow/resized, invalid/broken, inherited/read-only/built-in, loading, confirmation, cancel/failure, undo/redo, and restart persistence.

Keep egui rendering thin and reuse established components, spacing, icons, cards, badges, drag/drop feedback, and editor language. Move reusable models and transactions to the lightest owning module/crate. Keep IDs, fingerprints, provenance, and implementation-owned data out of primary editing surfaces.

Create named native scenarios and hand them to `blacksite-native-qa`. Unit tests and screenshots alone are not acceptance; exercise the interaction. If the user says behavior still does not work properly, return to acceptance-in-progress and record a scope delta rather than treating it as unrelated by default.
