Full payload-verification test suite for ae_idaa_comp__event_obj_id_edit_v2. Root cause fixed: $ae_loc.lu_time_zone_list empty at mount caused Svelte 5 to render <input type=text name=timezone required value=''> instead of the <select> branch. HTML5 required validation silently cancelled onsubmit with no JS error and zero network activity — waitForRequest timed out with no obvious cause. Fix: pre-seed lu_time_zone_list in addInitScript so the <select> branch renders on first mount with a valid value already set. Key patterns established: - setup_idaa_auth(): pre-seeds ae_loc + ae_idaa_loc in localStorage via addInitScript; includes lu_time_zone_list and window.__ae_test_mode = true - setup_api_mocks(): selective pass-through flags for lookups and site_domain - open_edit_form(): waitForFunction guards for name field, country lists, and the timezone required field before any interaction - capture_patch_body(): registers waitForRequest before click, awaits after README.md updated with deep-dive section covering: - HTML5 form validation silent block and how to diagnose it - Svelte 5 one-time value= bind trap - addInitScript store pre-seeding pattern - __ae_test_mode email suppression - waitForFunction patterns for reactive state - Route mock strategy (pass-through vs fixture)

How to build and deploy SvelteKit:
Copy the contents of the "build" directory to ./npm_deploy/build/
npm run build
If this is just a quick build update then only the build directory needs to be copied (rsync).
rsync -vhrz --exclude 'node_modules' ~/OSIT_dev/aether_app_sveltekit/build/ ~/OSIT_dev/ae_env_node_app/npm_deploy/build/ --delete
rsync -vhrz ~/OSIT_dev/ae_env_node_app/npm_deploy/build/ scott@linode.oneskyit.com:/srv/env/prod_aether_sveltekit/npm_deploy/build/ --delete
If this includes package updates (not development) we need to copy the new package.json. Manually copy the new package.json file to ./npm_deploy/. This also needs to be copied to the server. Copy the package.json even though not really used.
Run the --omit dev to clear out the node_modules directory. Copy the root node_modules directory to ./npm_deploy/build/node_modules/ after running te omit dev command.
npm ci --omit dev
# copy/paste, rsync, or cp
rsync -vhrz ~/OSIT_dev/aether_app_sveltekit/node_modules ~/OSIT_dev/ae_env_node_app/npm_deploy/build/ --delete
# copy package.json as well
npm install
Everything should be ready to run on the development server and production server.
Rebuild the node_modules directory and manually install extra Svelte packages
Run the npm update to fix the node_modules directory and package.json
npm list
npm outdated
npm update
npm outdated
npm list
Other installs?: Are both still needed? I know at least one of these is. 2024-07-23
npm install --save-dev svelte-highlight
npm install --save-dev typescript-svelte-plugin
Set up and run

I am slowly switching from Font-Awesome to Lucide
Tiptap Editor
- Eventually use Edra? https://edra.tsuzat.com/
- Best Rich Text Editor, made for Svelte Developers with Tiptap
- ShadEditor is "evolving" to be Edra.
- ShadCN is still stuck on Tailwind 3. Waiting to upgrade to Tailwind 4.x. Tailwind 4.x was released in late January 2025. ShadCN is still being worked on as of late March 2025.
- https://github.com/huntabyte/shadcn-svelte/issues/1643
Need to install ShadCN and Lucide for the Tiptap editor.
npm install shadcn-svelte
npm install lucide-svelte
npm install mode-watcher
Now we initialize the ShadCN and ShadEditor packages. Follow the command line instructions.
npx shadcn-svelte@next init
npx shadcn-svelte@next add dropdown-menu button tooltip input popover separator
npx shadeditor init
More packages related to the Tiptap editor???
npm install @tiptap/extension-link @tiptap/extension-bullet-list @tiptap/extension-history @tiptap/extension-typography @tiptap/extension-underline
Build
Environment file
".env"
This is the default used if others are not found when when "npm run dev" or "npm run build" is run.
".env.local"
This is used when "npm run dev" is run. This is not used in the production build.
".env.production"
This is used when "npm run build" is run. This is not used in the development build.
".env:prod"
This is modified to allow for a staging environment and production environment built.
".env:staging"
This is modified to allow for a staging environment and production environment built.
Example Important Values when running in dev:
Note: Environment values need to be updated when our home IP address changes. Be sure to check the Aether Container Environment and Aether Node App (SvelteKit) Environment files for the correct IP address. The Node Docker environment needs to be updated here and in the .env file that Docker will read. This needs to be improved later...

create-svelte
Everything you need to build a Svelte project, powered by create-svelte.
Creating a project
If you're seeing this, you've probably already done this step. Congrats!
# create a new project in the current directory
npm create svelte@latest
# create a new project in my-app
npm create svelte@latest my-app
Developing
Once you've created a project and installed dependencies with npm install (or pnpm install or yarn), start a development server:
npm run dev
# or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab
npm run dev -- --open
Building
To create a production version of your app:
npm run build
You can preview the production build with npm run preview.
To deploy your app, you may need to install an adapter for your target environment.
