No-JavaScript basic access — Railspike debug log

2026-10-19T17:22:01Z — Step 1

step1_solution_assessment.md, Structure: comparing approaches clarified that guest continuity and interface resilience are separate decisions. Retain.
step1_solution_assessment.md, Next: the approval gate keeps this request to assessment; no Step 2 or application changes were made. Retain.
RAILSPIKE.md, Debug state: root marker presence resolved enabled mode, recorded in the assessment. Retain durable state.

No supported findings.

Step 4 branching, organization, and commit requirements do not apply to this unapproved Step 1 draft. Planning files remain uncommitted.

The one-page limit does not specify rendering. The assessment is concise Markdown; exact printed pagination is unknown. Consider a word budget if literal pagination matters.

step2_feature_description.md, Known user or environment and Completion boundary: requiring actual disabled-script entry and error recovery prevents treating native form markup as completed browser support. Retain.
step2_feature_description.md, Shared component inventory: existing layout, board, forms, handlers, and access gates provide a shared surface rather than requiring a second interface. Retain.
RAILSPIKE.md, approval and debug recovery: inherited enabled state and recorded Step 1 approval; Step 2 remains uncommitted and no Step 3 was opened. Retain.

No supported findings.

Documentation-only scope restrictions do not apply to this proposed application feature.

The concise-document requirement and extensive required fields compete for space; physical page count remains rendering-dependent. Consider a word budget.

step3_development_plan_before.md, Before Checklist: confirming Step 2 approval prevented treating the premature Step 3 message as approval of an unwritten artifact. Retain.
step3_development_plan_do.md, Completion Contract and known environment acceptance: actual Chromium with JavaScript disabled reproduced blocked inline disclosure, successful standalone guest thread/reply posting, retained drafts after rejected image-reference text, correction/success, and protected HTTP 401 with misleading reconnecting text. Those findings focus stages on native interaction and truthful recovery. Retain browser-specific evidence requirements.
step3_development_plan_do.md, risks before dependent work: inspecting BoardPageController exposed that pagination only exists for QDB. The plan explicitly calls out new default-forum pagination to satisfy approved Step 2, rather than claiming an existing paginator merely needs repair. Retain.
step3_development_plan_after.md, stage sizing and approval: five bounded stages, uncommitted draft, no Step 4 opened. Retain.

No supported findings.

Documentation-only verification does not apply; this is application work.
Planned signature/schema changes are unnecessary: existing controller/helper contracts support the intended work.

step3_development_plan_do.md requests Completion Contract before Key Risks, while RAILSPIKE.md says Step 3 begins with Key Risks. The plan follows the detailed file's explicit order and places risks immediately after the contract. Clarify the entrypoint to say risks belong near the top.
One-page rendering remains unspecified; this plan is 679 words with flat stage fields. A word budget would make the constraint reproducible.

Temporary local fixture and browser probe, outside the project, used Chrome /opt/google/chrome/chrome through Playwright with javaScriptEnabled:false; records, read model, sessions, and caches were isolated and cleaned.
Final probe passed native New Post entry, guest thread creation, Reply-link entry, guest reply creation, both validation corrections, and observed protected denial. Clicking the inline prompt left its form invisible. Pagination was absent; source confirmed it is QDB-only. Reload persistence, full navigation/theme coverage, and production behavior were not claimed as tested.
An earlier probe used a non-recognized image marker and consequently did not trigger validation; corrected to Image-v1: before recording validation results. No application files were changed by probes.
