Phase 03: Navigation and Links Verification Report

Phase Goal: Users can browse the vault by following links and navigating back and forward through their history Verified: 2026-02-28 Status: PASSED Re-verification: No — initial verification


Goal Achievement

Observable Truths (Plan 01)

# Truth Status Evidence
1 render_markdown returns (Vec, Vec) for every link VERIFIED src/renderer.rs:834 — function signature confirmed; state.finish() at line 277 returns the tuple
2 Wiki-links parsed via ENABLE_WIKILINKS VERIFIED src/renderer.rs:840opts.insert(Options::ENABLE_WIKILINKS)
3 Standard links rendered as bracket-wrapped LightCyan text VERIFIED src/renderer.rs:463-464Style::default().fg(Color::LightCyan) for non-wiki links; opening [ pushed at line 484
4 Broken wiki-links rendered as Red+CROSSED_OUT VERIFIED src/renderer.rs:460-461Style::default().fg(Color::Red).add_modifier(Modifier::CROSSED_OUT) when resolve_wiki_link returns None
5 resolve_wiki_link() maps raw wiki targets to vault-relative paths with case-insensitive matching VERIFIED src/vault.rs:85-142 — multi-strategy (hyphen/underscore/literal) with stem.to_lowercase() comparison
6 Path traversal attacks via ../.. are blocked by canonicalize + starts_with guard VERIFIED src/vault.rs:124-133 in resolve_wiki_link, src/vault.rs:172-180 in resolve_standard_link — inline guard in both functions

Observable Truths (Plan 02)

# Truth Status Evidence
7 User can press Tab to cycle forward through links with wrap-around VERIFIED src/app.rs:307-309KeyCode::Tab calls select_next_link(); line 558: (i + 1) % self.link_records.len()
8 User can press Shift+Tab to cycle backward through links VERIFIED src/app.rs:310-312KeyCode::BackTab calls select_prev_link(); line 571: wrap-to-last on index 0
9 Off-screen link auto-scrolls to center when Tab-cycled VERIFIED src/app.rs:580-598scroll_to_selected_link() centers at link_line.saturating_sub(half), clamped to max_scroll()
10 User can press Enter on selected link to navigate VERIFIED src/app.rs:313-315KeyCode::Enter calls follow_selected_link(); dispatches via resolve_wiki_link / resolve_standard_link then navigate_to
11 User can press Backspace or Alt+Left to go back VERIFIED src/app.rs:316-322 — both KeyCode::Backspace and KeyCode::Left + ALT call navigate_back(); restores scroll_offset and selected_link from history entry
12 User can press Alt+Right to go forward VERIFIED src/app.rs:323-325KeyCode::Right + ALT calls navigate_forward()
13 Forward stack is cleared when following new link after going back VERIFIED src/app.rs:368self.history.truncate(self.history_index + 1) in navigate_to
14 Status bar shows breadcrumb trail with .md stripped VERIFIED src/app.rs:715build_breadcrumb(&self.current_path); src/app.rs:903-914 — Path::components() map strips .md, joins with " > "
15 Status bar shows back/forward indicators only when history exists VERIFIED src/app.rs:736-737< Back only if history_index > 0; lines 746-748 — Forward > only if history_index < history.len() - 1
16 Status bar shows Link N/M counter when a link is selected VERIFIED src/app.rs:741-743format!("Link {}/{}", i + 1, self.link_records.len())
17 Selected link rendered with REVERSED modifier at draw time VERIFIED src/app.rs:660-688 — lines.clone() + span walk applies Modifier::REVERSED to spans in the link's col range; stored lines unchanged

Score: 17/17 truths verified

Requirements Coverage

Requirement Source Plan Description Status Evidence
NAV-01 03-01, 03-02 User can follow wiki-links to other vault documents SATISFIED follow_selected_link dispatches to resolve_wiki_link then navigate_to (app.rs:520-530)
NAV-02 03-01, 03-02 User can follow standard text links SATISFIED follow_selected_link dispatches to resolve_standard_link then navigate_to (app.rs:532-546)
NAV-03 03-02 User can navigate back through history stack SATISFIED navigate_back() implemented with scroll/link restoration (app.rs:419-462)
NAV-04 03-02 User can navigate forward after going back SATISFIED navigate_forward() implemented with scroll/link restoration (app.rs:465-506)
NAV-10 03-01, 03-02 User sees links highlighted inline and can Tab-cycle between them SATISFIED Links rendered LightCyan/Red+CROSSED_OUT; Tab/Shift-Tab cycle via select_next/prev_link
NAV-11 03-02 User sees breadcrumb / current location in status bar SATISFIED build_breadcrumb(&self.current_path) in draw_status_bar (app.rs:715)

All 6 phase-3 requirements are SATISFIED. No orphaned requirements found.


Anti-Patterns Found

File Line Pattern Severity Impact
src/renderer.rs 434-437 [IMAGE: alt] placeholder for images Info By design — images are rendered as text placeholders, not stubs
src/vault.rs 54 is_within_vault public function generates dead_code warning Info Function is never called directly; both resolve_wiki_link and resolve_standard_link inline the same guard logic. Security outcome is identical. No functional impact.

No blocker or warning-level anti-patterns found. Both items are expected/by-design.

Note on is_within_vault dead_code warning: The plan specified this function would be called by the two resolvers. Instead, both resolvers inline the canonicalize + starts_with guard. The security guarantee (path traversal prevention) is fully intact. The function is dead code in the call graph but its logic is present in both resolvers. This is an implementation detail deviation with zero functional impact.


Human Verification Required

The following items cannot be confirmed programmatically and require manual testing:

1. Tab Cycling Visual Confirmation

Test: Open the app with a vault containing index.md that has multiple [[wiki-links]] and [text](path.md) links. Press Tab repeatedly. Expected: Each link is highlighted with inverted colors (REVERSED) in sequence. Pressing Tab past the last link wraps to the first. Why human: REVERSED modifier application is code-verified but visual rendering depends on terminal emulator support.

Test: Add [[NonExistent Page]] to a document. Open the app. Expected: The link renders as [NonExistent Page] in Red with strikethrough styling. Why human: Visual color and strikethrough appearance requires terminal observation.

3. Back/Forward State Restoration

Test: Navigate to a page, scroll halfway down, Tab to select link 3, then navigate away, then press Backspace. Expected: Returns to previous page with the same scroll position and link 3 still selected. Why human: State restoration requires interactive session to observe scroll and link state.

4. Browser-Style Fork

Test: Navigate A -> B -> C, then go back to A, then navigate to D. Expected: D is now the end of history. Alt+Right does nothing (no forward history). B and C are gone from forward stack. Why human: History state must be traced through multiple navigation actions.

5. Breadcrumb Updates on Navigation

Test: Navigate through guides/getting-started.md. Expected: Status bar shows guides > getting-started (not the full path with .md). Why human: Status bar content requires visual confirmation in running app.


Build Status

cargo build succeeds with zero errors. Two pre-existing warnings unrelated to phase 3 goals:

  • init_logging unused (signals.rs) — pre-existing from Phase 1
  • is_within_vault unused (vault.rs) — implementation deviation noted above; no functional impact

Gaps Summary

No gaps. All 17 must-have truths verified. All 4 artifacts are substantive and wired. All 7 key links are confirmed. All 6 requirements (NAV-01 through NAV-04, NAV-10, NAV-11) are satisfied.
