Closes #263. Unblocks the structural half of fluent-web#314 (the RTE ships behind a flag today because paragraph breaks could not be saved) and all of fluent-web#398 (Book Details panel).

Everything is additive: legacy rows carry null, and a chapter with no stored markers exports byte-for-byte what it exports today (there is a golden test pinning that).

What ships

1. translated_verses.markers — nullable jsonb with the verse's paragraph context:

{ "paragraphs": [ { "marker": "p", "offset": 0 } ] }

Offset 0 means the verse opens a paragraph; a mid-text offset splits the verse across two paragraphs, which covers a translator pressing Enter mid-verse. Validation is strict because these values end up inside the USFM stream: the marker is pattern-limited (no way to smuggle \ or newlines), offsets must strictly increase, and on insert every offset must fall inside the verse's own content. The upsert writes it and responses return it.

2. USFM export honors the markers. A stored opening marker replaces the hardcoded \p after \c; a mid-verse offset renders the way USFM writes it, text continuing after the marker with no new \v:

\c 1
\q1
\v 1 First part
\q2
second part.

Rows without markers keep the single \p per chapter, so mixed chapters degrade gracefully (a verse with no marker simply continues the current paragraph).

3. Book-level fieldsrunning_header and book_title on project_unit_bible_books, with two endpoints:

  • GET /project-units/{id}/book-details — every book in the unit with its authored fields
  • PATCH /project-units/{id}/book-details/{bookId} — set either field; empty or null clears it back to the display-name fallback

Both gated by authenticateUser + requirePermission + requireProjectUnitAccess, with the full response set declared. The export prefers the authored values: \h and \mt fall back to bookName exactly as today.

Verification

  • 21 new tests: the export generator (golden legacy output, opening markers, mid-verse splits, out-of-range offsets ignored defensively, book-field fallback) and both validation schemas, including the injection guards (p\nfake, Genesis\n\id EXO and friends are rejected).
  • 282 tests pass overall; lint and typecheck clean.
  • Migration 0019 (three ADD COLUMNs, nothing else) applied to a scratch Postgres from zero and verified.

What I did not decide alone

The jsonb shape is the one proposed on #263, unchallenged there so far — happy to reshape if you had something else in mind. The PATCH permission is CONTENT_UPDATE (same as verse editing), on the reasoning that the running header is translated content, not project administration; flip to PROJECT_UPDATE if you see it as the latter.

Once this lands, fluent-web#400's save path gains a markers field per changed verse and the flag can turn on.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features

  • Added book details management for viewing and updating running headers and book titles.
  • Added verse marker support to translated verse data and API responses.
  • USFM exports now include book metadata, paragraph markers, headings, and mid-verse markers.

Bug Fixes

  • Improved handling of invalid marker positions, missing metadata, and untranslated verses during USFM generation.
  • Added access controls for viewing and updating book details.

Tests

  • Added coverage for book details, verse markers, access boundaries, and USFM export scenarios.

Demo video (84s, narrated)

pr264-demo-voiced.mp4

Recorded against the PR branch on a local Postgres: the book-details PATCH, verse upserts carrying markers (plus a rejected marker-injection attempt), and the USFM export rendering the authored \h/\mt, a stored opening \p, and a \q1/\q2 mid-verse split — all commands genuinely executed.

Closes #263. Unblocks fluent-web#314 (paragraph authoring in the RTE) and
fluent-web#398 (Book Details panel). All additive: legacy rows and existing
exports behave exactly as before.

- translated_verses.markers (nullable jsonb): paragraph starts per verse.
  Offset 0 means the verse opens a paragraph; a mid-text offset splits the
  verse across paragraphs. Zod-validated: marker pattern (no USFM injection),
  strictly increasing offsets, offsets bounded by the content on insert.
  Upsert writes it, responses return it.
- project_unit_bible_books.running_header / book_title: authored \h and \mt1
  per unit and book, validated against marker injection, empty clears to null.
- USFM export honors both: stored paragraph markers replace the hardcoded
  single \p per chapter (which remains the fallback for rows without markers),
  and \h/\mt prefer the authored fields with the display-name fallback.
- GET /project-units/{id}/book-details and PATCH .../book-details/{bookId},
  gated by authenticateUser + requirePermission + requireProjectUnitAccess.

21 new tests: the export generator (golden legacy output, opening markers,
mid-verse splits, out-of-range offsets, book-field fallbacks) and the two
validation schemas. Migration 0019 verified against a scratch Postgres.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds nullable verse-marker and book-metadata storage, authenticated book-detail endpoints, marker propagation through translated-verse APIs, and USFM export support for paragraph markers and authored book fields.

Changes

Book details and structured USFM export

Layer / File(s) Summary
Storage and marker validation
src/db/migrations/*, src/db/schema.ts, src/db/schema.*.test.ts
The database stores nullable book fields and verse markers. Schemas validate marker syntax, ordering, and content bounds.
Book details API
src/domains/book-details/*, src/app.ts
Authenticated GET and PATCH routes list and update book metadata with input validation, permissions, repository error handling, and route registration.
Marker propagation and USFM generation
src/domains/translated-verses/*, src/domains/usfm/*
Translated-verse queries and responses carry markers. USFM export emits paragraph markers and uses authored running headers and titles, with legacy fallbacks. Tests cover marker placement, offsets, metadata, and untranslated verses.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f63d2

The change is otherwise mergeable, but the current branch fails the required formatting validation for a test file; merge readiness requires formatting that file and rerunning the normal checks.

The stored marker is emitted verbatim as `\<marker>` by the USFM export, so
the previous `^[a-z][a-z0-9]{0,9}$` pattern let a client store `v` or `c` and
put a bare `\v` / `\c` — a structural marker with no number — ahead of the
real one. Replace the pattern with `z.enum` over the USFM 3.x body-text
paragraph set, which also documents the accepted values in the OpenAPI spec
for the editor. Introduction markers stay out: they precede \c 1 and cannot
open inside a verse.

Refs: #264
…ok fields

The guard covered `\`, LF and CR, but NUL, ESC, U+2028 and U+2029 passed
straight into the `\h` / `\mt` line of the export, where a consumer treating
the separators as line breaks sees a different file than the validator did.
Reject the Cc, Zl and Zp ranges, spelled as literal ranges rather than
`\p{...}` so the pattern published in the OpenAPI document carries the same
meaning without the unicode flag.

Also corrects the endpoint descriptions: the export emits `\mt`, not `\mt1`.

Refs: #264
The case stored `p`, which is exactly what the chapter falls back to, so it
passed whether or not the exporter read `markers` at all. Use `q1` and assert
no `\p` is emitted, so the test fails if the stored marker is ignored.

Refs: #264
…on meta

Formatting only, and the cause of the red validate job: the markers select was
inserted with off-by-two indentation, and drizzle-kit writes its meta JSON in
its own style, which the repo's format check does not accept. Both meta files
parse identically before and after.

Ran the whole stack together before any of it merges — API on this branch plus #269, web on #400 + #408 + #409 — because every piece had only been tested in isolation.

Authored the structure in the real editor (Enter for a paragraph, the format bar for a poetry line), then followed it all the way out:

step result
chapter view renders from the API's verses
Enter creates a paragraph in the document ✅ 1 → 2 blocks
format bar applies poetry at the cursor
markers reach Postgres {"paragraphs":[{"marker":"q1","offset":81}]}
structure survives a reload (read back from the DB) ✅ paragraphs and the q1 block
USFM export renders it ✅ see below

The exported GEN.usfm, from the real endpoint:

\c 2
\p
\v 3 ઈશ્વરે સાતમા દિવસને આશીર્વાદ આપ્યો…
\s1 The Seventh Day
\p
\v 4 આ આકાશ તથા પૃથ્વીના સર્જન સંબંધિત વૃત્તાંત છે…

Marker order across the file: \id \h \mt \c \p \c \p \s1 \p \q1 \c \p \c \p. The heading sits on its own line before its verse and the verse still gets a paragraph after it; the mid-verse q1 splits verse 10 at offset 81 with the tail continuing after the marker; and the 23 verses with no markers still export as plain \c + \p, unchanged.

Two of my own test assertions were wrong on the first run and are worth naming so the numbers are not overstated: a malformed jsonb_object_keys aggregation reported an empty key set (the correct query returns headings, paragraphs), and I initially searched the export response as text when it is a zip, so every marker check failed until I read the archive. Neither was a defect in the code.

Review on #264: book-details imported requireProjectUnitAccess from usfm's
middleware, coupling book metadata authoring to export generation because the
two checks happen to look alike.

The domain now carries its own. usfm and translated-verses each already do the
same, so this is the existing convention rather than a new one; consolidating
the three into shared infrastructure stays a separate, deliberate decision.

A boundary test pins it: book-details imports nothing from a sibling feature
domain, and its route uses its own middleware. Both fail against the reviewed
code.

Follow-up to #264, and the last storage gap behind fluent-web#397.

A paragraph record is a marker plus an offset into the *verse's* text, so it
cannot hold a section heading: a heading is a block of its own, with its own
words, belonging to no verse. Exported today it renders as a bare "\s1" and the
translator's words are gone.

markers.headings carries them, in order, as blocks emitted before the verse:

  { "headings": [{ "marker": "s1", "text": "The Creation" }] }

Markers are restricted to the heading subset of USFM_PARAGRAPH_MARKERS, so body
text can never be stored as a heading and lost from the row, and the text is
guarded against backslashes and line breaks exactly as the book fields are,
since it is written straight into the USFM stream.

paragraphs became optional, because a verse may carry only a heading, and the
object now has to hold one or the other — null already means "no structure".

No migration: the column is jsonb, so the shape lives in Zod. Confirmed with
drizzle-kit generate ("No schema changes, nothing to migrate").

Pre-merge validation caught the test file. The schema was unformatted too, and
fixing only the reported file would have left the check red: prettier expands
the USFM_HEADING_MARKERS array to one entry per line.
