docs: spec the Book Designer (unified cover + pages + PDF export)

New BOOK_DESIGNER_FEATURE.md drafts a top-level templateMode: 'book' that orchestrates the existing cover designer, deck overview, and custom-art canvas around a shared document spec (trim size, page count, paper thickness, bleed). Spine width derives from page count × paper thickness; the cover view goes read-only on the spine column when in derived mode. Pages reuse the deck-sorter UI for reordering; the per-page editor is the custom-art canvas bound to a book-page:<id> target with prev / next page nav. Masters render underneath each inheriting page and support {page-number} / {page-count} / {book-title} token substitution. PDF export ships in its own phase (E), backed by a vendored pdf-lib (~80 KB). Single-file (cover + interior) and split (cover PDF + interior PDF) output modes; bleed + crop-mark options; v1 flattens text to vector for font-fidelity, with vector PDF text as a follow-up. Phased: A (spec + skeleton) → B (pages + editor) → C (masters) → D (publish) → E (PDF export) → F (templates + deck-to-book import). Non-goals: reflowable text, footnotes, automatic TOC, CMYK / ICC, imposition, mixed page sizes in one book. Linked from README's "Drafted-but-unbuilt" list and TODO.md.

+# Book Designer
+
+## Goals
+
+A unified document type for designing **books** — a cross between InDesign
+and Illustrator inside Artstr Studio. One document combines a cover spread
+(front + spine + back), an ordered list of interior pages, and per-page
+design surfaces, all driven by a shared **document spec** (trim size,
+bleed, page count, paper thickness) so that changes propagate
+automatically (e.g. adding pages re-computes spine width).
+
+The three existing workflows are the building blocks:
+
+- **Cover designer** → renders the book's front / back / spine spread.
+- **Slide-deck overview** → reorganises pages and gives a thumbnail-grid
+  table of contents.
+- **Custom-art canvas** → the per-page design surface.
+
+A **Book** document type orchestrates all three around the shared spec and
+exports the whole thing as a multi-page PDF.
+
+### Product goals
+
+1. **A single Book document** that holds a cover spread, an ordered list
+   of interior pages, and a document spec. The document is one
+   self-contained Nostr-publishable artefact (`casewrap-book`).
+2. **Auto-computed spine width** from `pageCount × paperThicknessIn`. The
+   cover designer's spine column is derived, not user-typed; the cover
+   re-renders whenever pages are added or removed.
+3. **Uniform page artboards**. Every interior page inherits trim width /
+   height / bleed from the spec, so resizing the trim updates every page
+   in one shot.
+4. **Pages overview** that reuses the deck-sorter UI: drag-reorder,
+   add-blank, duplicate, delete, label, jump-to-edit. Page numbers render
+   on each thumbnail.
+5. **Per-page editor** that reuses the Custom Art canvas — same tools,
+   same layer model, same renderer — but knows it's inside a book so
+   prev / next page navigation, page-number context, and a small
+   "page X / N" header are present.
+6. **Master pages** (Indesign-style inheritance): a master is a special
+   page whose layers render *underneath* every page that inherits from
+   it. Used for running headers / footers, page numbers, baseline grids,
+   margin guides.
+7. **Multi-page PDF export** that stamps each page in order then the
+   cover spread on its own page, with optional bleed marks and crop
+   marks for print.
+
+### Non-goals (v1)
+
+- **Reflowable text / paragraph styles / threaded text frames.** A book
+  in Artstr is fixed-layout; you design each page as a canvas, not as
+  a continuous text flow with master typography. (A natural follow-up
+  arc, but huge.)
+- **Footnote / endnote engine, index, automatic TOC, cross-references.**
+  These all depend on a text-flow model we don't have. Manual TOC
+  pages are fine.
+- **CMYK colour management or ICC profile attachment.** PDF export is
+  sRGB. Pro-print colour fidelity is a phase E+ concern.
+- **Imposition / signatures / booklet print layouts.** Pages export in
+  reading order; if a printer needs imposition they'll handle it
+  themselves.
+- **Page-size variance within a single book.** Every interior page has
+  the same trim / bleed (only the cover differs). Mixed-size books are
+  out of scope.
+- **Linked design pulls inside pages.** The existing Linked Designs
+  feature still works inside book pages, but pages aren't published
+  individually — only the whole book.
+- **Spreads-as-design-units** (facing-page editing). v1 is single-page
+  layout per page. Facing-page guide overlays can come later.
+
+### Implementation status
+
+Not started. This document is the v1 spec.
+
+---
+
+## Why this fits the repo
+
+Most of the primitives are already in place; Book mode is **glue + spec**,
+not a new engine.
+
+- **Layer model + targets.** Each layer already keys to a `target`
+  (`page` / `cover-trim` / `back` / `spine` / `designer-disc` / `canvas`).
+  Adding `book-page:<id>` / `book-cover-front` / `book-cover-back` /
+  `book-spine` / `book-master:<id>` targets is additive.
+- **Per-target rendering.** `renderLayers` already filters by target and
+  delegates to the right host; the cover designer, deck, and custom-art
+  all coexist in one document with no special-casing in the renderer.
+- **Deck overview grid.** The deck sorter already does thumbnail-grid
+  reordering with drag-and-drop. Reusing it for pages is a relabel +
+  one data-shape rename away.
+- **Custom-art canvas as page editor.** The page editor *is* the Custom
+  Art canvas. The book wraps it in prev/next nav and a page-context bar.
+- **Cover designer.** The cover view *is* the existing cover designer,
+  except the spine width is computed from the spec instead of typed.
+- **Nostr publish + fork + embed.** Books reuse the existing publish
+  pipeline as kind-30078 with a new `casewrap-book` tag.
+
+What's actually new:
+
+- **`state.book`** document spec + page list shape.
+- **Spine derivation** when page count or paper thickness changes.
+- **Master pages** (a new render pass: master layers render below page
+  layers, scoped by `inheritsMasterId`).
+- **Page-aware navigation** (prev / next, page numbers).
+- **Multi-page PDF export.** Currently there is no PDF export at all;
+  Custom-art exports PNG/JPG and the cover designer exports per-panel
+  PNG. Books need one PDF stamped with every page in order.
+- **Document settings modal** that owns the spec and propagates changes.
+
+---
+
+## Framing within Template / Designer
+
+The existing top-level modes:
+
+| Mode             | Selector                | Surfaces                                            |
+|------------------|-------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|
+| Cover            | `templateMode: 'cover'` | `cover-trim` / `front` / `back` / `spine`           |
+| Disc             | `templateMode: 'disc'`  | `designer-disc`                                     |
+| Custom Art       | `templateMode: 'customart'` | `canvas`                                        |
+| Slide            | `templateMode: 'slide'`   | `canvas` (16:9 alias)                             |
+| Deck             | `templateMode: 'deck'`    | embedded slides via `deck.slides[]`               |
+| Pixel-art        | `templateMode: 'pixelart'`| `canvas` (palette-indexed)                        |
+| **Book** (new)   | `templateMode: 'book'`  | `book-cover-front` / `book-cover-back` / `book-spine` / `book-page:<id>` / `book-master:<id>` |
+
+Book mode adds a third sidebar tab ("Pages") alongside Designer (per-page
+canvas) and Template (cover view). All three views read and write the same
+`state.book` document.

+
+#### Shape notes
+
+- A book is **self-contained**: every page and master embeds its full
+  layer array. Same model as `deck.slides[]`. The whole book publishes as
+  one Nostr event.
+- Each **embedded surface** (cover panel, master, page) carries only its
+  per-surface fields — no `meta`, no `templateMode`. Document-level
+  metadata covers the book.
+- Layer `target` for a page layer is `book-page:<id>`. For a master:
+  `book-master:<id>`. Cover panels: `book-cover-front` / `…-back` /
+  `…-spine`. The renderer filters by target as it already does — no
+  cross-talk between pages, no leak from one master into another.
+- The `pages` array order **is** the print order. The sorter mutates
+  this array directly.
+
+#### Derived values
+
+- `spec.spineW` = `spineFromPages ? pageCount × spec.paperThickness : spec.spineWManual`.
+- `pageCount` = `book.pages.length`.
+- Cover-spread total W = `(2 × trimW) + spineW + (2 × bleed)`.
+- A page's drawable area = `trimW × trimH` (bleed renders outside but is
+  trimmed in the printed product; gutter / margins are master-page
+  responsibilities, not spec-driven).
+
+### Nostr
+
+- Book: kind-30078, tag `casewrap-book`, `d`-tag `book:<title|id>`.
+- Single event carries cover + every page + every master inline. A large
+  book may exceed the relay's max event size; if so, splitting masters /
+  pages into per-event sidecars (à la Linked Designs) is a v2 concern.
+- Schema-version bump; new `book` block is additive — old clients render
+  nothing for a book event but don't break.
+
+---
+
+## The surfaces
+
+### 1. Document settings modal
+
+Owns the spec. Accessible from a "Document settings" button in every
+book view. Fields:
+
+- **Book size preset**: US Trade 6×9, US Letter 8.5×11, A5 5.83×8.27,
+  A4 8.27×11.69, Square 8×8, Custom. Picking a preset fills trim
+  width/height + sensible default bleed and paper-thickness; switching
+  to Custom unlocks them.
+- **Trim width** / **Trim height** (inches, numeric).
+- **Bleed** (inches, numeric, default 0.125).
+- **Paper thickness** (inches per page) + **Spine from pages?** checkbox.
+  When checked, spine width is derived; when unchecked, a manual Spine
+  width field appears.
+- **Cover layout**: wraparound (front + spine + back) / front-only.
+- **Page numbering**: enabled toggle + start-at, first-numbered-page,
+  format string.
+
+Editing **trim** prompts confirmation if any page already has layers —
+"Layers may need reflowing." Apply re-runs page-bounds calc and refits
+the cover surfaces. Bleed change does not warn (it only affects guides).
+
+### 2. Cover view
+
+Reuses the existing cover designer host. Differences:
+
+- The spine column width is **read-only** when `spineFromPages = true`;
+  shows the computed value with a hint ("derived from N pages × paper
+  thickness"). When manual, the existing typed-in field is editable.
+- Front / back / spine targets renamed under the hood to
+  `book-cover-front` / `book-cover-back` / `book-spine` so layers don't
+  collide with a stand-alone cover document opened in the same session.
+- A "Replace with template" picker scoped to the **`book-cover` template
+  category** (a new kind alongside `casewrap-template`).
+
+### 3. Pages overview
+
+Reuses the deck-sorter component. Differences:
+
+- Title says "Pages" with a `Total: N` counter.
+- Each tile shows the page number (from `pageNumbering`) below the
+  thumbnail. Skipped or unnumbered pages show no number.
+- Drag-reorder writes back to `book.pages`. Numbering re-renders live.
+- Per-tile menu: **Edit** (jumps to the per-page editor), **Duplicate**,
+  **Delete**, **Apply master…** (pick from `book.masters`), **Skip
+  numbering**, **Rename**.
+- A toolbar above the grid: **+ Add page**, **+ Add 10 pages** (common
+  bulk action), **Import page from Nostr** (paste a slide / custom-art
+  event id and convert), **Manage masters…** (modal listing
+  `book.masters`).
+
+### 4. Per-page editor
+
+The existing Custom Art canvas with three wraps:
+
+- A **page-context bar** at the top of the canvas: `Page 12 / 248`,
+  prev / next arrows (← / →), a master-page badge ("Inheriting: Body
+  pages"), and a "Back to Pages" button.
+- A **master layer underlay**: master layers render under the page's
+  own layers, with reduced opacity (~50 %) and a small "M" badge when
+  a master layer is hovered, to make the inheritance obvious. Master
+  layers are **not editable** from the page editor — they're click-
+  through to the page layer below. To edit a master, the user opens it
+  from the masters modal (which routes back to the same canvas in
+  master-edit mode — the only difference is which target the editor
+  binds new layers to).
+- A **trim + bleed guides** overlay (already exists in cover designer
+  conceptually). Trim is dashed red, bleed is dashed teal, optional
+  margin / gutter from the spec is faint grey.
+
+The tool palette, layer panel, alignment / pathfinder / pen tools —
+all unchanged. The canvas binds to `book-page:<id>` (or
+`book-master:<id>` in master-edit mode), so new layers land on the
+right page.
+
+### 5. Masters modal
+
+Lists `book.masters` with per-row Edit / Duplicate / Delete /
+Rename / Set-as-default. "+ New master" creates a blank entry.
+"Edit" opens the per-page editor in master-edit mode.
+
+---
+
+## Cross-surface reactivity rules
+
+1. **Page count changes** (add / delete / paste) → `spec.spineW`
+   recomputed if `spineFromPages` → cover view re-renders with the new
+   spine column width → cover layers re-clamped if any straddled the
+   old spine boundary (probably warn but don't auto-move).
+2. **Trim size changes** → every `book.pages[].layers[]` and the cover
+   panel sizes recompute. Layers are NOT auto-scaled — they keep their
+   absolute inch coordinates. Users get a one-time toast prompting
+   "Layers may now sit outside the trim — review pages."
+3. **Bleed changes** → guide overlays update; layer coordinates
+   untouched.
+4. **Master edit** → every page that inherits that master re-renders.
+5. **Page-numbering format change** → all numbered page thumbnails
+   re-render their badges. The numbering doesn't get *baked* into page
+   layers; it lives on the master via a special `{page-number}` token
+   in a text layer.
+
+---
+
+## PDF export
+
+### What v1 produces
+
+- One PDF with N + (1 or 2) pages: every interior page in order, then
+  the cover spread on its own landscape page. (Back / spine / front
+  flow follows the cover designer's existing left-to-right layout.)
+- Page size: `trimW × trimH` plus bleed margin if "include bleed" is
+  on. Cover page size: full cover-spread width × trim height plus
+  bleed.
+- sRGB. No ICC embedding. Fonts subset-embedded when supported by the
+  PDF library; otherwise rasterised text fallback.
+- Crop marks toggle: thin black L-marks at each trim corner, offset
+  outside the trim by the bleed amount.
+
+### Library
+
+`pdf-lib` (~80 KB minified, MIT). Pure-JS, runs in the browser, supports
+images, SVG paths (via converting our `d` strings into PDF path ops),
+text, fonts, page management. Vendored as
+`src/vendor/pdf-lib.min.js` the same way `polygon-clipping` is.
+
+### Pipeline
+
+For each page (and each cover panel):
+
+1. Build a **virtual canvas** at the page's pixel resolution
+   (e.g. `trimW × 300dpi`).
+2. Run the existing `renderLayers` pipeline against that virtual
+   canvas. This already handles every layer type (shape, image, text,
+   QR, pixelart, linked design, deck slide, pathfinder result).
+3. Take the rendered output and stamp it into a new PDF page via
+   `pdf-lib`. Text layers ideally get re-emitted as PDF text objects
+   (vector + searchable / selectable); v1 may flatten text to vector
+   paths to dodge font-subset complexity, with a follow-up to switch
+   to true PDF text.
+4. Cover page is single-PDF-page with the full spread; print shops
+   typically want it as one wide spread, so a separate "Cover-only
+   PDF" download is also offered.
+
+### Export UI
+
+A new "Export PDF…" button in the Pages overview toolbar and the
+Cover view toolbar opens an export modal:
+
+- Interior pages: All / range / current
+- Include cover spread: yes / no
+- Include crop marks: yes / no
+- Include bleed: yes / no
+- Output: `Interior + Cover (single file)` / `Interior PDF + Cover PDF
+  (two files)`. Print shops often want them separate.
+- Filename pattern.
+
+### Limitations baked in v1
+
+- Vector text fidelity may regress where the renderer rasterises text
+  for SVG output. We accept it and flag as a phase B PDF improvement.
+- No bookmarks / outline / TOC links inside the PDF.
+- No press-quality CMYK profile.
+
+---
+
+## Master pages
+
+A master is a page-shaped surface whose layers paint *under* every
+page that inherits it. Used for:
+
+- Running headers / footers
+- Page numbers (via the `{page-number}` text token — the renderer
+  substitutes it per page at render time)
+- Margin guides drawn as faint shape layers (optional)
+- Background art / chapter dividers
+
+### Inheritance rule
+
+- A page declares `inheritsMasterId: 'master:body'`. Render: master
+  layers first (filtered by their `book-master:body` target), then page
+  layers on top. Master layers are non-interactive in the page editor.
+- Multi-master: a master can itself inherit another master via
+  `inheritsMasterId` on the master record. (v1 supports a single level
+  of inheritance to keep the render simple — chained inheritance is
+  follow-up.)
+- Default master: `book.spec.defaultMasterId` — applied to any page that
+  doesn't specify its own. New pages adopt it on creation.
+
+### `{page-number}` token
+
+A text layer whose HTML contains `{page-number}` gets per-page
+substitution at render time. The same token works inside any text layer
+but is primarily useful on master pages. Substitution:
+
+- `{page-number}` → current page number (per `pageNumbering` format).
+- `{page-count}` → total numbered pages.
+- `{book-title}` → `meta.title`.
+
+Tokens render at the live value in the page editor preview too.
+
+---
+
+## Phased delivery
+
+### Phase A — Spec + Book mode skeleton
+- New `templateMode: 'book'` with `state.book = { spec, cover, masters,
+  pages }`. Default spec: US Trade 6×9, 0.125 bleed, 0 pages.
+- Sidebar Template tab gets a "Book" entry alongside Cover / Disc /
+  Custom Art / Slide / Deck.
+- Empty Pages overview view (deck sorter clone, no pages yet) and
+  Cover view (cover designer in spec-aware mode, spine derived).
+- Document settings modal with all spec fields wired.
+- Save / load / autosave: the `book` block round-trips alongside
+  existing modes; no Nostr publish yet.
+
+### Phase B — Pages overview + per-page editor
+- Add / duplicate / delete / drag-reorder pages.
+- Per-page editor (Custom Art canvas bound to `book-page:<id>`).
+- Page-context bar (prev / next / Back to Pages).
+- Page numbering live in thumbnails + the editor header.
+
+### Phase C — Master pages
+- Masters modal, master-edit mode in the canvas, master-layer underlay
+  in the page editor.
+- `{page-number}`, `{page-count}`, `{book-title}` token substitution.
+- Default master applied to new pages.
+
+### Phase D — Nostr publish + fork
+- `casewrap-book` Nostr publish path. `d`-tag `book:<title|id>`.
+- Fork in the community browser (clone the whole book under a new
+  identity).
+- Feed-card preview shows the cover spread thumbnail + page count.
+
+### Phase E — PDF export
+- Vendor `pdf-lib`. Build the render-to-PDF pipeline (Canvas2D first,
+  text-flatten for v1).
+- Export modal in Pages + Cover toolbars.
+- Bleed + crop marks options. Single-file and split (cover + interior)
+  output modes.
+
+### Phase F — Templates + import polish
+- New `book` template category for the community browser; templates
+  ship at common sizes (US Trade, A5, A4).
+- Import a deck → convert to a book of N pages, each page seeded with
+  one slide's layers (cross-aspect letterbox-fit). Letting users
+  bootstrap a book from a deck is the cleanest reuse story.
+- Import a single page from another book.
+
+---
+
+## Risks & tradeoffs
+
+- **Event size.** A book with 200 pages of layered art could easily
+  exceed a 256 KB Nostr event. v1 caps publish size and warns; v2
+  candidate: per-page sidecar events (à la Linked Designs).
+- **Master-layer perf.** Rendering master + page on every page-view
+  switch is 2× the layer work. Acceptable in v1 with the existing
+  renderer; if it bites, cache rasterised master snapshots.
+- **PDF correctness.** This is the biggest correctness risk — print
+  output that's slightly off can cost the user money at the printer.
+  Mitigate with: clear preview before download, bleed / crop options
+  explicit, and a "test page" download for proofing a single page
+  before exporting the whole book.
+- **Trim-resize collateral.** Resizing trim mid-design leaves layers
+  out of bounds. v1 warns but doesn't auto-scale. A "Refit selection
+  to trim" tool can come later.
+- **Two-level navigation.** Pages → Page editor → back to Pages — the
+  user has to remember where they are. The page-context bar with
+  prev / next / "Back to Pages" is essential and should never be
+  hidden.
+
+---
+
+## Open questions
+
+- **Facing pages.** Do we want a v1.5 facing-page preview (two pages
+  side by side) even without facing-page editing? It's a small render
+  addition.
+- **Bleed in the per-page editor.** Show as a guide always, or
+  toggleable? Cover designer shows it; we should match.
+- **Per-page background image** vs masters owning the background.
+  Currently the spec puts `background` on both `book.pages[]` and
+  masters. Resolve precedence: page beats master beats spec default.
+- **TOC generation.** Out of scope for v1, but a manual TOC page can
+  use the `{page-count}` token and a list of layer-text entries. A
+  `{toc}` magic token that auto-builds from page names would be a
+  natural Phase G addition.
+- **Multi-book event size strategy.** When (not if) we hit relay
+  limits, do we prefer per-page sidecars (lots of small events,
+  parallel fetch) or a chunked-blob event (one big event split into
+  CBOR chunks)?

+
+## Acceptance summary
+
+### Phase A — Book mode skeleton
+- [ ] `templateMode: 'book'` saves + restores via autosave.
+- [ ] Document settings modal applies every spec field and the cover
+  view's spine width updates live when `paperThickness` or page count
+  changes.
+- [ ] Cover view renders empty front / back / spine surfaces sized to
+  the spec.
+- [ ] Pages overview view renders an empty grid with an Add Page button.
+
+### Phase B — Pages overview + per-page editor
+- [ ] Add / duplicate / delete / drag-reorder writes back to
+  `book.pages` and the numbering reflects the new order.
+- [ ] Clicking a tile opens the per-page editor; prev / next walk the
+  page list.
+- [ ] Layers added in the editor are bound to `book-page:<id>` and
+  persist across reloads.
+
+### Phase C — Master pages
+- [ ] At least one master exists; pages inheriting it render the
+  master layers below their own.
+- [ ] `{page-number}` substitution renders the right number on each
+  page (matching `pageNumbering` config) in both the editor preview
+  and the overview thumbnails.
+
+### Phase D — Publish
+- [ ] A book publishes as `casewrap-book` and reopens losslessly.
+- [ ] Community-browser feed-card shows the cover thumbnail + page
+  count.
+
+### Phase E — PDF export
+- [ ] Export modal produces a PDF with the expected page count + cover
+  spread on a separate page.
+- [ ] Bleed + crop-marks toggle work; output passes a visual diff
+  against a hand-laid InDesign export of the same book at a single
+  reference size.
