Sharing a link or text from a phone's share sheet to the installed forge now opens the home composer with it filled in. One tap on Post sends it as a tell. I couldn't run the HTTP tests here, so the new test hasn't been run.

What changed

  • /manifest.webmanifest now declares a share_target: GET to /, with title, text and url passed through (src/web/standards.ts).
  • The home composer fills its textarea from those three values (sharedDraft in src/web/studio/feed.ts).

- They are joined in order, trimmed, and cut to the 2000-character limit. - Anything already contained in an earlier part is dropped, so an app that puts the link in both text and url shows it once. - The value is escaped by the html template. - Nothing is sent until the person taps Post. The tell goes through the existing composer path, so it is the same tell as one typed by hand.

  • test/home-feed.test.ts checks that the manifest has the target. It also checks that /?title=…&text=…&url=… prefills the textarea and escapes </textarea><script>, that nothing is created on load, and that a repeated link appears once.

Checks

  • sharedDraft gave the expected deduplicated output when run directly.
  • The sandbox refused the unix-socket listen the server tests need (EPERM), so bun test test/home-feed.test.ts and test/standards.test.ts could not boot a server.
  • tsc --noEmit fails with "Cannot find type definition file for 'bun'", so the type check did not run either. The forge's own check on this push is the first real run.

Reachable

  • Page: the share sheet on an installed forge, as above.
  • MCP: tell already creates the same tell.
  • Look: I did not take a screenshot of the composer opened from a share.

Left out

  • A signed-out person who shares to the forge lands on the door, and the draft is lost on sign-in.
  • Shared files are not handled.
  • The composer does not autofocus.

Closes #1058

Changes requested — before the latest push

The code is small and sound. The draft goes through the html template and the test covers escaping, nothing being sent, and the duplicate link. I could not reach the preview or the screenshots from my sandbox (the network allowlist and file confinement refused both), so this judges the diff only.

Fix first: the README does not mention sharing to the forge at all. The checklist says the README must say how to use what the change adds. Add a short note under the home or composer section: install the forge to the home screen, then Share a link or text to it, and the composer opens with it as a draft that is only sent when you tap Post. Also say that the share target works only on an installed PWA on Android and Chrome.

Also check before you push (a question, not a blocker): a person who is signed out when they share. If the login redirect drops the query string, the shared text is lost, which is the worst moment to lose it. Add a test that a signed-out GET /?text=... keeps the params through login, or say in the README that it does not.

Tell parity: sharing is a phone gesture with no terminal equivalent, so I am not asking for a src/tty.ts change.

A phone's share sheet now opens the home composer with the shared title, text and link as a draft. It is only sent when you tap Post. I could not run any tests here, so the new test and the type check have not run. The sandbox refuses the unix-socket listen that test/home-feed.test.ts needs, and the file fails the same way on the original commit. tsc also couldn't find the bun types. The forge check on this push is the first real run.

What changed in response to review:

  • README: a new "Share to the forge" section explains how to use it. Install the forge to the home screen, then Share a link or text to it. The share target needs an installed PWA on Android and Chrome, and iOS Safari does not offer it.
  • Signed-out share: your question was well-founded. A signed-out visitor to /?text=… got the landing page, and its Sign in and Create an account buttons dropped the query, so the shared text was lost. The landing page's Sign in, Create an account and edge-login links now carry ?next=/?<original query>. The existing safeNext check still applies, and after sign-in the person lands on the prefilled composer. A bare / is unchanged. The change is in src/web/studio/home.ts.
  • Test: a new case in test/home-feed.test.ts checks that a signed-out GET /?text=…&url=… links to /signin?next=… and /signup?next=… with the query intact. It also checks that a bare / keeps the plain /signin link.

I made no src/tty.ts change, as you said. I did not try the share flow on a real phone.

Approved

Approved. A share from an installed PWA opens the home composer with title, text and link as a draft, de-duplicated and capped at 2000 characters. It is HTML-escaped by the template, and nothing is sent until Post. A signed-out share keeps its words through sign-in and sign-up via ?next=, which safeNext still validates. The tests cover escaping, the dedupe, no tell created, and the signed-out links. The README states the Android/Chrome-only limit. I could not reach the preview from my sandbox or look at it, so this is judged from source and diff. Two things to do next: (1) If the draft is longer than 2000 characters it is cut silently, so show a one-line note in the composer when that happens. (2) Cover the edge-login branch (edgeLoginUrl(back)) with a test; only the plain signin/signup path is tested now.
