+## Writing Tests
+- **Never use `awaits(number)`** (fixed-time waits) in tests — they cause flaky failures. Always use `awaitsFor(condition)` to wait for a specific condition to become true.
+- Use `editor.*` APIs (e.g. `editor.document.getText()`, `editor.getCursorPos()`, `editor.setSelection()`) instead of accessing `editor._codeMirror` directly.
+- Tests should be independent — no shared mutable state between `it()` blocks. Use `FILE_CLOSE` with `{ _forceClose: true }` to clean up.
+- For markdown viewer/live preview architecture, test patterns, and debugging — see `src-mdviewer/CLAUDE-markdown-viewer.md`.

 ## Running Tests via MCP
 
 The test runner must be open as a separate Phoenix instance (it shows up as `phoenix-test-runner-*` in `get_phoenix_status`). Use `run_tests` to trigger test runs and `get_test_results` to poll for results. `take_screenshot` also works on the test runner.

+# Markdown Viewer/Editor — Development & Testing Guide
+
+## Architecture
+
+The markdown viewer (`src-mdviewer/`) is a standalone web app loaded inside an iframe in Phoenix's Live Preview panel. It communicates with Phoenix via postMessage.
+
+### Iframe nesting (in tests)
+```
+Test Runner Window
+  └── Test Phoenix iframe (testWindow)
+        ├── CM5 editor (CodeMirror)
+        ├── Live Preview panel
+        │     └── #panel-md-preview-frame (md viewer iframe)
+        │           ├── #viewer-content (contenteditable in edit mode)
+        │           ├── #format-bar, #link-popover
+        │           └── embedded-toolbar (reader/edit toggle, cursor sync btn)
+        └── MarkdownSync.js (listens for postMessage from md iframe)
+```
+
+### Key source files
+- `src-mdviewer/src/bridge.js` — postMessage bridge between Phoenix and md iframe. Handles file switching, content sync, keyboard shortcuts, edit mode.
+- `src-mdviewer/src/core/doc-cache.js` — Document DOM cache with LRU eviction for file switching.
+- `src-mdviewer/src/components/editor.js` — Contenteditable WYSIWYG editing, Turndown HTML→Markdown conversion.
+- `src-mdviewer/src/components/embedded-toolbar.js` — Reader/edit toggle, cursor sync, format buttons.
+- `src-mdviewer/src/components/format-bar.js` — Floating format bar on text selection (bold, italic, underline, link).
+- `src-mdviewer/src/components/link-popover.js` — Link popover for editing/removing links in edit mode.
+- `src-mdviewer/src/components/viewer.js` — Reader mode click handling, link interception, copy buttons.
+- `src/extensionsIntegrated/Phoenix-live-preview/MarkdownSync.js` — Phoenix-side sync: CM↔iframe content, cursor, scroll, selection.
+
+## Communication: postMessage (reliable in both directions)
+
+- **Phoenix → iframe**: `iframe.contentWindow.postMessage({ type: "MDVIEWR_SET_EDIT_MODE", ... })` — mode switches, file content updates
+- **iframe → Phoenix**: bridge.js calls `window.parent.postMessage({ type: "MDVIEWR_EVENT", eventName: "...", ... })` — keyboard shortcuts, content changes, cursor sync, link clicks
+- MarkdownSync.js listens for these messages and acts on them (scroll CM, open URLs, handle undo/redo)
+
+### Message types (Phoenix → iframe)
+| Type | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `MDVIEWR_SET_EDIT_MODE` | Toggle edit/reader mode |
+| `MDVIEWR_SWITCH_FILE` | Switch to a new file with markdown content |
+| `MDVIEWR_CONTENT_UPDATE` | Update content from CM edits |
+| `MDVIEWR_SCROLL_TO_LINE` | Scroll viewer to a source line (cursor sync) |
+| `MDVIEWR_HIGHLIGHT_SELECTION` | Highlight blocks corresponding to CM selection |
+
+### Event names (iframe → Phoenix via `MDVIEWR_EVENT`)
+| eventName | Purpose |
+|-----------|---------|
+| `mdviewrContentChanged` | Editor content changed (sync to CM) |
+| `mdviewrEditModeChanged` | Edit/reader mode toggled |
+| `mdviewrKeyboardShortcut` | Forwarded shortcut (Ctrl+S, Ctrl+Shift+F, etc.) |
+| `mdviewrUndo` / `mdviewrRedo` | Undo/redo requests |
+| `mdviewrScrollSync` | Scroll sync from edit mode click |
+| `mdviewrSelectionSync` | Selection sync from viewer to CM |
+| `mdviewrCursorSyncToggle` | Cursor sync button toggled |
+| `embeddedIframeFocusEditor` | Reader mode click — refocus CM, scroll to source line |
+| `embeddedIframeHrefClick` | Link click — opens URL via `NativeApp.openURLInDefaultBrowser` |
+| `embeddedEscapeKeyPressed` | Escape key — refocus Phoenix editor |
+
+## Integration Tests
+
+Test file: `test/spec/md-editor-integ-test.js`
+Category: `livepreview`, Suite: `livepreview:Markdown Editor`
+
+### Accessing the md iframe from tests
+The md iframe is **directly DOM-accessible** (no sandbox in test mode):
+```js
+testWindow.document.getElementById("panel-md-preview-frame")  // iframe element
+iframe.contentDocument  // query #viewer-content, #format-bar, etc.
+iframe.contentWindow    // access __setEditModeForTest, __getCurrentContent, etc.
+```
+
+### Test helpers exposed on iframe window (`__` prefix)
+- `win.__setEditModeForTest(bool)` — toggle edit/reader mode
+- `win.__getCurrentContent()` — get the markdown source currently loaded in viewer
+- `win.__getActiveFilePath()` — current file path in viewer
+- `win.__isSuppressingContentChange()` — true during re-render (wait for false before asserting)
+- `win.__triggerContentSync()` — force content sync after `execCommand` formatting
+- `win.__getCacheKeys()` / `win.__getWorkingSetPaths()` — inspect doc cache state
+
+### Key test patterns
+- **Wait for sync**: `_waitForMdPreviewReady(editor)` — mandatory after every file switch. Verifies iframe visible, bridge initialized, content rendered, and `editor.document.getText()` matches `win.__getCurrentContent()`.
+- **Formatting**: Use `_execCommandInMdIframe("bold")` — browsers reject `execCommand` from untrusted `KeyboardEvent`s, so synthetic key events don't work for formatting.
+- **Keyboard shortcuts**: Use `_dispatchKeyInMdIframe(key)` — bridge.js captures these and forwards via postMessage to MarkdownSync.
+- **Clicking elements**: Click directly on iframe DOM elements (e.g. `paragraph.click()`). The bridge.js click handler fires and sends the appropriate postMessage. Always test the real click flow.
+- **Editor APIs**: Use `editor.document.getText()`, `editor.setCursorPos()`, `editor.setSelection()`, `editor.getSelectedText()`, `editor.replaceRange()`, `editor.lineCount()`, `editor.getLine()` — never access `editor._codeMirror` directly.
+
+### Rules
+- **Never use `awaits(number)`** — always use `awaitsFor(condition)`.
+- **Tests must be independent** — no shared mutable state between `it()` blocks. Use `FILE_CLOSE` with `{ _forceClose: true }` to clean up.
+- **Test real behavior** — use actual DOM clicks and CM API calls, not fabricated postMessages.
+- **Negative assertions** — move state to a known position first, perform the action, then verify state didn't change.
+- **Function interception** — save originals in `beforeAll`, restore in `afterAll` to guard against test failures.
+
+### Debugging test failures
+- **Stale DOM refs**: After toolbar re-render or file switch, re-query with `_getMdIFrameDoc().getElementById(...)`.
+- **Dirty state**: Check if a prior test left cursor sync disabled, edit mode on, etc. Tests should clean up.
+- **Fixture files**: Live in `test/spec/LiveDevelopment-Markdown-test-files/`. After modifying, run `npm run build` and reload the test runner.
+- **Test checklist**: `src-mdviewer/to-create-tests.md` tracks what's covered and what's pending.

 # Markdown Viewer/Editor — Integration Tests To Create
 
-## Keyboard Shortcut Forwarding
-- [x] Ctrl+S in edit mode triggers Phoenix save (not consumed by md editor)
-- [ ] Ctrl+P in edit mode opens Quick Open
-- [x] Ctrl+Shift+F in edit mode opens Find in Files
-- [x] Ctrl+B/I/U in edit mode applies bold/italic/underline (not forwarded)
-- [x] Ctrl+K in edit mode opens link input (not forwarded)
-- [x] Ctrl+Shift+X in edit mode applies strikethrough (not forwarded)
-- [x] Ctrl+Z/Y/Shift+Z in edit mode triggers undo/redo via CM (routed through Phoenix undo stack)
-- [x] Ctrl+A in edit mode selects all text natively (C/V/X not testable due to browser security)
-- [x] Escape in edit mode sends focus back to Phoenix editor
-- [x] F-key shortcuts (e.g. F8 for live preview toggle) work in edit mode
-- [x] F-key shortcuts work in reader mode
-
-## Document Cache & File Switching
-- [ ] Switching between two MD files is instant (no re-render, DOM cached)
-- [ ] Scroll position preserved per-document on switch
-- [ ] Edit/reader mode preserved globally across file switches
-- [ ] Switching MD → HTML → MD reuses persistent md iframe (no reload)
-- [ ] Closing live preview panel and reopening preserves md iframe and cache
-- [ ] Project switch clears all cached documents but preserves edit/reader mode
-- [ ] Edit mode persists when switching projects (was in edit → open new project md → still edit)
-- [ ] Working set changes sync to iframe (files removed from working set go to LRU)
-- [ ] LRU cache evicts beyond 20 non-working-set files
-- [ ] Reload button (in LP toolbar) re-renders current file, preserves scroll and edit mode
-
-## Selection Sync (Bidirectional)
-- [ ] Selecting text in CM highlights corresponding block in md viewer
-- [ ] Selecting text in md viewer selects corresponding text in CM
-- [ ] Clicking in md viewer (no selection) clears CM selection
-- [ ] Clicking in CM clears md viewer highlight
-- [ ] Selection sync respects cursor sync toggle (disabled when sync off)
-
-## Cursor/Scroll Sync
-- [ ] Clicking in CM scrolls md viewer to corresponding element
-- [ ] Clicking in md viewer scrolls CM to corresponding line (centered)
-- [ ] Cursor sync toggle button disables/enables bidirectional sync
-- [ ] Cursor sync toggle state preserved across toolbar re-renders (file switch, mode toggle)
-- [ ] Content sync still works when cursor sync is disabled
-- [ ] Cursor sync toggle works in both reader and edit mode
-- [ ] Disabling cursor sync in reader mode prevents CM scroll on click
-- [ ] Cursor sync works on newly edited elements after edit→reader switch
-- [ ] Edit→reader switch re-renders from CM content (data-source-line attrs refreshed)
-- [ ] Switching MD files preserves current edit/reader mode
-- [ ] Edit mode not reset when switching between MD files
-
-## Edit Mode & Entitlement Gating
-- [ ] Free user sees Edit button → clicking shows upsell dialog
-- [ ] Pro user sees Edit button → clicking enters edit mode
-- [ ] Entitlement change (free→pro) switches to edit mode automatically
-- [ ] Entitlement change (pro→free) switches to reader mode automatically
-- [ ] Edit/Reader toggle works correctly in the iframe toolbar
-
-## Toolbar & UI
-- [ ] Phoenix play button and mode dropdown hidden for MD files
-- [ ] Phoenix play button and mode dropdown visible for HTML files
-- [ ] Phoenix play button and mode dropdown visible for custom server MD files

-- [ ] Edit button has pencil icon and "Switch to edit mode" title
-- [ ] 1px white line at bottom of preview not visible (box-sizing: border-box on toolbar)
-
-## Checkbox (Task List) Sync
-- [ ] Clicking checkbox in edit mode toggles it and syncs to CM source ([x] ↔ [ ])
-- [ ] Checkboxes enabled in edit mode, disabled in reader mode
-- [ ] Checkbox toggle creates an undo entry
-- [ ] Undo reverses checkbox toggle
-
-## Format Bar & Link Popover
-- [ ] Format bar appears on text selection (single line, not wrapping)
-- [ ] Format bar includes underline button
-- [ ] Format bar dismissed on scroll
-- [ ] Link popover appears when clicking a link in edit mode
-- [ ] Link popover URL opens in default browser (not Electron window)
-- [ ] Link popover dismissed on scroll
-- [ ] Escape in link popover only dismisses popover, refocuses editor
-- [ ] Escape in slash menu only dismisses menu, refocuses editor
-- [ ] Escape in lang picker only dismisses picker, refocuses editor
-
-## Empty Line Placeholder
-- [ ] Empty paragraph in edit mode shows "Type / for commands" hint text
-- [ ] Hint disappears as soon as user types
-- [ ] Hint only shows in edit mode, not reader mode
-- [ ] Hint shows on paragraphs with only a `<br>` child
-
-## Slash Menu (/ command)
-- [ ] Slash menu appears at the / cursor position (not at top of page)
-- [ ] Slash menu opens below cursor when space available
-- [ ] Slash menu opens above cursor when near bottom of viewport
-- [ ] Slash menu has gap between cursor line and menu (not overlapping)
-- [ ] Typing after / filters the menu items (e.g. /h1 shows Heading 1)
-- [ ] Arrow down/up scrolls selected item into view when outside viewport
-- [ ] Escape dismisses slash menu without forwarding to Phoenix
-- [ ] Escape refocuses the md editor after dismissing slash menu
-- [ ] Selected item wraps around (last → first, first → last)
-- [ ] Slash menu works at bottom of a long scrolled document
-
-## Keyboard Shortcut Focus
-- [ ] Ctrl+S saves file and keeps focus in md editor (not CM)
-- [ ] Forwarded shortcuts refocus md editor after Phoenix handles them
-
-## Code Block Editing
-- [ ] ArrowDown on last line of code block exits to paragraph below
-- [ ] ArrowDown on last line creates new `<p>` if none exists below
-- [ ] ArrowDown on last line moves to existing next sibling if present
-- [ ] ArrowDown on non-last line navigates normally within code block
-- [ ] Shift+Enter on last line of code block exits to paragraph below
-- [ ] Shift+Enter on non-last line does NOT exit (normal behavior)
-- [ ] Enter inside code block creates new line (not exit)
-- [ ] Code block exit syncs new paragraph to CM source
-- [ ] Intermediate code blocks: Shift+Enter exits on last line
-- [ ] Last code block in document: ArrowDown creates `<p>` and exits
-
 ## Table Editing
 - [ ] Clearing a table cell with backspace produces valid markdown (no broken pipe rows)
 - [ ] Empty table cell renders as `|  |` in markdown source
 - [ ] Table cell with `<br>` only-child is treated as empty (br stripped before conversion)
 - [ ] Table cell with actual content + `<br>` preserves the line break
-- [ ] Tab navigation between table cells works
-- [ ] Adding new row via Tab at last cell works
+- [x] Tab navigation between table cells works
+- [x] Adding new row via Tab at last cell works
 - [ ] Delete row / delete column via context menu works and syncs to CM
-- [ ] Table header editing syncs correctly to CM
-- [ ] Enter key blocked in table cells (no paragraph/line break insertion)
-- [ ] Shift+Enter blocked in table cells
-- [ ] Block-level format buttons hidden when cursor is in table (quote, hr, table, codeblock, lists)
-- [ ] Block type selector (Paragraph/H1/H2/H3) hidden when cursor is in table
-- [ ] Dropdown groups for lists and blocks hidden when cursor is in table
+- [x] Table headers are editable in edit mode
+- [x] Enter key blocked in table cells (no paragraph/line break insertion)
+- [x] Shift+Enter blocked in table cells
+- [x] Block-level format buttons hidden when cursor is in table (quote, hr, table, codeblock, lists)
+- [x] Block type selector (Paragraph/H1/H2/H3) hidden when cursor is in table
+- [x] Dropdown groups for lists and blocks hidden when cursor is in table
 - [ ] Pasting multi-line text in table cell converts to single line (newlines → spaces)
-- [ ] Moving cursor out of table restores all toolbar buttons
-- [ ] ArrowRight at end of last cell exits table to paragraph below
-- [ ] ArrowDown from last cell exits table to paragraph below
-- [ ] Enter in last cell exits table to paragraph below
-- [ ] If no paragraph exists below table, one is created on exit
-- [ ] If paragraph exists below table, cursor moves into it (no duplicate)
+- [x] Moving cursor out of table restores all toolbar buttons
+- [x] ArrowRight at end of last cell exits table to paragraph below
+- [x] ArrowDown from last cell exits table to paragraph below
+- [x] Enter in last cell exits table to paragraph below
+- [x] If no paragraph exists below table, one is created on exit
+- [x] If paragraph exists below table, cursor moves into it (no duplicate)
 - [ ] Cursor in table wrapper gap (outside cells) + Enter exits table
 - [ ] Cursor in table wrapper gap (outside cells) + typing is blocked
 - [ ] Table rows don't visually expand when cursor is in wrapper gap
-- [ ] "Delete table" option appears in table right-click context menu
+- [x] "Delete table" option appears in table right-click context menu
 - [ ] "Delete table" option appears in row handle menu
 - [ ] "Delete table" option appears in column handle menu

 - [ ] Add-column button (+) has visible dashed border matching add-row button style
-- [ ] Add-column button visible when table is active (cursor inside)
-
-## List Editing
-- [ ] Enter in a list item splits content at cursor into two `<li>` elements
-- [ ] Enter on empty list item exits list and creates paragraph below
-- [ ] Shift+Enter in list item inserts `<br>` (line break within same bullet)
-- [ ] Tab in list item indents it (nests inside sub-list under previous sibling)
-- [ ] Shift+Tab in list item outdents it to parent level
-- [ ] Shift+Tab outdent preserves trailing siblings as sub-list of moved item
-- [ ] Tab at first list item (no previous sibling) does nothing

-- [ ] Toolbar OL button shows active state when cursor is in OL
-- [ ] Block-level buttons (quote, hr, table, codeblock) hidden when cursor is in list
-- [ ] Block type selector (Paragraph/H1/H2/H3) hidden when cursor is in list
-- [ ] List buttons remain visible when cursor is in list (for UL/OL switching)
-- [ ] Moving cursor out of list restores all toolbar buttons
+- [x] Add-column button visible when table is active (cursor inside)
 
 ## Image Handling
 - [ ] Images not reloaded when editing text in CM (DOM nodes preserved)
@@ -187,62 +44,3 @@
 - [ ] Cmd+Right near image goes to end of block on Mac
 - [ ] Cmd+Left near image goes to start of block on Mac
 - [ ] End/Home work normally on lines without images
-
-## Heading Editing
-- [ ] Enter at start of heading (|Heading) inserts empty `<p>` above, heading shifts down
-- [ ] Enter in middle of heading splits: text before stays heading, text after becomes `<p>`
-- [ ] Enter at end of heading creates new empty `<p>` below (no content split)
-- [ ] Enter in middle syncs correctly to CM (heading line + new paragraph line)
-- [ ] Shift+Enter in heading creates empty `<p>` below without moving content
-- [ ] Shift+Enter moves cursor to new `<p>`, heading text untouched
-- [ ] Backspace at start of heading converts heading to `<p>` (strips ### prefix in CM)
-- [ ] Backspace at start of heading preserves content and cursor position
-- [ ] Backspace at start of heading updates toolbar from "Heading N" to "Paragraph"
-- [ ] Heading-to-paragraph conversion syncs correctly to CM source
-- [ ] Backspace in middle of heading works normally (deletes character)
-
-## Undo/Redo
-- [ ] Ctrl+Z undoes change in both md editor and CM (single undo stack)
-- [ ] Ctrl+Shift+Z / Ctrl+Y redoes change in both
-- [ ] Cursor restored to correct block element (source-line) after undo
-- [ ] Cursor restored to correct offset within block after undo
-- [ ] Undo/redo cursor works when editing at different positions in document
-- [ ] Typing in CM and undoing in CM doesn't interfere with md editor
-- [ ] Multiple rapid edits can be undone one by one
-
-## Scroll Behavior
-- [ ] Cursor sync scroll is instant (not smooth animated)
-- [ ] Scroll restore on file switch uses exact pixel position (no jump)
-- [ ] Scroll restore on reload uses source-line-based positioning
-- [ ] No progressive scroll-down on reload with many images (source-line approach)
-
-## Border & Styling
-- [ ] Subtle bottom border on #mainNavBar (rgba(255,255,255,0.08))
-- [ ] Subtle bottom border on #live-preview-plugin-toolbar (rgba(255,255,255,0.08))
-- [ ] No medium-zoom magnifying glass cursor on images
-- [ ] Cursor sync icon is subtle (secondary text color, not accent blue)
-
-## Translation (i18n)
-- [ ] en.json strings load correctly (toolbar.reader, format.underline, etc.)
-- [ ] Locale with region code (e.g. en-GB) falls back to base (en) if specific file missing
-- [ ] No "Failed to load locale" console warnings for valid locales
-- [ ] gulp translateStrings translates both Phoenix NLS and mdviewer locales
-- [ ] Translated locale files copied back to src-mdviewer/src/locales/
-
-## In-Document Search (Ctrl+F)
-- [ ] Ctrl+F opens search bar in md viewer (both edit and reader mode)
-- [ ] Ctrl+F with text selected pre-fills search and highlights closest match as active
-- [ ] Typing in search input highlights matches with debounce (300ms)
-- [ ] Match count shows "N/total" format
-- [ ] Enter / Arrow Down navigates to next match
-- [ ] Shift+Enter / Arrow Up navigates to previous match
-- [ ] Navigation wraps around (last → first, first → last)
-- [ ] Active match scrolls into view (instant, centered)
-- [ ] Escape closes search bar and restores cursor to previous position
-- [ ] Escape in search does NOT forward to Phoenix (no focus steal)
-- [ ] Closing search clears all mark.js highlights
-- [ ] Search works across cached document DOMs (uses #viewer-content)
-- [ ] × button closes search
-- [ ] Search starts from 1 character
-- [ ] Switching documents with search open re-runs search on new document
-- [ ] Switching back to previous document restores search match index (e.g. was on 3/5, returns to 3/5)
