BEPs BCS: Markdown pages with HTML illustrations, and sub-pages - #5636
BCS design proposals on the BEPs site get Markdown with HTML illustrations, and sub-pages like BEPs. A second PR, stacked on this one, adds comments.
What changes
Markdown pages with HTML illustrations. A page is Markdown, rendered on the server with the same plugins as BEPs: GitHub tables and lists, Mermaid, and raw HTML passed through. Illustrations (inline SVG, a <style> block) can sit between paragraphs.
The result shows in the same sandboxed frame as before. A page's styles and the site's never mix, so diagrams look exactly as designed.
A page with its own <style> gets none of the default styles.
HTML pages still work. One written without a doctype, like an artifact, now gets one, so it renders as designed rather than in quirks mode.
Sub-pages. A proposal has a main page and sub-pages in a tree, shown in a sidebar.
Each version holds all the pages. An outline on the version means reading one page loads only that page.
Versions saved before this read as one HTML main page.
Links between pages. A link to pages/<slug>.md opens that page.
The frame can't navigate the site. Instead, a small script in the rendered page asks the site by postMessage, and the site only follows links to the same proposal's pages.
#fragments scroll the page once it loads.
Editing on the site.
"Edit this page" opens a full-page editor with the current content.
Sub-pages can be added and removed.
The version menu and the Slack reply list which pages a version changed.
Refused saves keep the draft, as before.
bep bcs pulls and pushes a proposal folder: index.md or index.html, plus pages/<slug>.md, with nested pages in a folder named after their parent, as BEPs do. Push prints a per-page summary. The API still accepts the single html field from older scripts.
Tested
On a local Convex backend, with headless Chromium for the frame:
CLI:
a proposal created from a folder with a nested page; push shows per-page changes; a no-op push does nothing;
stale pushes are refused; pull keeps local edits unless --force;
old-style html create and update calls work;
bad page sets are refused: an unknown parent, a bad slug, a parent loop.
Site:
the edit form is prefilled and saves; an added page nests under its parent;
a duplicate slug is refused and the draft is kept; removing a page updates the tree;
a stale edit keeps the draft; a new Markdown proposal renders its table.
Frame:
clicking a page link opens it, and #retries carries over;
a message forged by the page to open another proposal is ignored;
a long page scrolls to its #fragment.
Old data: a proposal saved by the previous code reads, renders and takes a new Markdown sub-page, and its v1 stays readable.
Fidelity: a 120 KB artifact-style proposal with 24 SVG illustrations, converted to Markdown, renders pixel-identical to the original page in standards mode at 1280 px and 420 px.
Build:tsc and eslint are clean apart from the existing baml_sdk error and <img> warning, and next build compiles.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
BCS proposals can include a main page and nested sub-pages written in Markdown or HTML, with links between pages.
Create, edit, add, and remove proposal pages; browse page outlines and earlier versions.
Choose Markdown or HTML when creating or editing pages, or upload a supported file.
Markdown pages support illustrations, Mermaid diagrams, and light and dark styling.
The CLI can create, pull, and push proposals from files or folders containing multiple pages, while preserving unrelated files and warning about local edits.
Version updates identify changed pages, and page navigation works within the proposal preview.
- A proposal has a main page and sub-pages in a tree, like BEP pages; each version holds
all of them, with an outline so reading one page loads only that page.
- A page is Markdown, rendered on the server with the BEP plugins and raw HTML kept, so
illustrations (inline SVG, a <style> block) sit between paragraphs and look exactly as
designed; or a whole HTML page, which now gets a doctype when it has none.
- Pages stay in the sandboxed frame. Links between pages go through a small postMessage
bridge that the site checks, instead of letting the frame navigate the site.
- The site edits one page at a time (prefilled), adds and removes sub-pages, and lists
which pages each version changed; so does the Slack reply.
- bep bcs pulls and pushes a proposal folder (index.md or index.html plus pages/), and
the API still accepts the single html field from older scripts. Versions saved before
pages read as one HTML main page.

Walkthrough
BCS proposals now support versioned main pages and nested sub-pages in Markdown or HTML. The changes update storage, agent API and CLI page exchange, rendering, navigation, web editing, and version change reporting. Legacy HTML inputs and stored main-page content remain supported.

Summary
Page validation and version storage typescript2/app-beps/convex/schema.ts, typescript2/app-beps/convex/bcs.ts
The schema and BCS queries add page formats, outlines, page-level content storage, validation, page-specific reads, and save operations. Versions record page changes, and reads retain support for legacy main-page HTML.
API and CLI page exchange typescript2/app-beps/src/app/api/agent/bcs/*, typescript2/app-beps/src/lib/static/bep-script.ts, typescript2/app-beps/README.md
Agent routes exchange page collections and retain legacy HTML inputs. The CLI reads and writes folder-based page trees, compares page changes, and pushes page collections. The README documents these layouts and sandbox navigation behavior.
The proposal view renders Markdown or HTML in a sandboxed frame, displays page outlines, and preserves page and version parameters in navigation links. The renderer handles Markdown links, heading IDs, and Mermaid blocks.
Web forms and actions create proposals, edit and add pages, and remove sub-pages. The add and edit routes load page content and parent choices from the proposal outline.
Version change reporting typescript2/app-beps/convex/bcs.ts, typescript2/app-beps/convex/bcsSlack.ts, typescript2/app-beps/src/app/bcs/[number]/page.tsx
Version results include changed page titles. The proposal view displays change metadata, and Slack save notifications include a “Changed” line when applicable.

Merge Risk: Low · up to e1b8e
Large HTML proposals could still fail to pull through the CLI because of the response size limit. Moving a nested page to the top level may also keep its old parent. Both are narrow cases and should be checked before or shortly after merge.
Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to e1b8e
The existing team-access checks and browser sandbox are preserved. However, newly added server-side HTML processing has an inferred denial-of-service path: a small, specially structured page could consume excessive processing time whenever someone opens it. The page-tree storage changes also require coordinated rollback handling.
Retained concerns
Medium · security · inferred: Stored author HTML now reaches synchronous server-side processing before browser isolation applies. The doctype-detection regex can partition repeated leading HTML comments in many different ways when no doctype follows, producing inferred exponential backtracking. A team-authorized writer can store such content within the existing size limits, and subsequent normal or raw page reads execute it again. This introduces a request-worker availability risk absent from the base's HTML pass-through behavior. Runtime severity and wider service impact have not been measured.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The identified attack requires team-authorized write access or an equivalent compromised credential. Such access can change proposal content without a per-author ownership restriction. A crafted stored HTML page can affect authorized readers and request workers rendering that page, including historical versions. Cross-tenant access, credential disclosure, and deployment-wide outage have not been established.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — The introduced availability path is authorized HTML submission, persistence as a page, an authenticated page read, and synchronous doctype-regex evaluation. Repeated complete leading comments without a following doctype create ambiguous matches between the inner wildcard and outer repetition. The browser sandbox applies only after this server work and therefore does not contain it. This inference has not been runtime-reproduced.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Agent routes verify signed CLI identity, site actions obtain the current signed-in viewer, and Convex entrypoints require the server secret. Token verification checks signature, intended use, organization-check provenance, and expiry. The new navigation bridge additionally limits accepted messages to the current frame and the same proposal route.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Refused web saves return submitted draft content, and stale refusals identify the current version for deliberate retry. Slack notification work is scheduled from the mutation rather than directly performing external HTTP during page publication. Newly reported changed-page titles are clipped and escaped before Slack markup interpolation.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Use deterministic, linear-time scanning for the optional leading comments and doctype instead of nested backtracking. Validate its cost on comment-heavy HTML without a doctype; retain input-size limits as a separate control rather than treating them as a processing-time guarantee.

Add page-link handling to HTML documents.
If an HTML page contains <a href="pages/details.html">, this branch returns before adjust rewrites the link or adds BRIDGE_SCRIPT. In the embedded frame, the relative link resolves against the embedding page instead of opening the proposal’s details page.

Review comments at @typescript2/app-beps/convex/bcs.ts:
- Line 41: Update MAX_VERSION_BYTES so the aggregate page content stays below
the CLI request and response body limit with room for JSON overhead; ensure
checkPages rejects versions that cannot be exchanged in a single push or pull.
Review comments at @typescript2/app-beps/src/app/bcs/[number]/frame.tsx:
- Around line 33-35: Update the fragment-handling flow around scrollToHash so it
also sends the bcs-scroll message whenever the parent URL’s fragment changes,
even when the frame does not reload. Preserve the existing frame-load scrolling
behavior and avoid sending duplicate messages for a single fragment change.
Review comments at @typescript2/app-beps/src/app/bcs/[number]/page.tsx:
- Line 78: Update the version-link construction using bcsPagePath so it targets
the selected slug only when that page exists in the target version; otherwise,
link to that version’s main page. Apply the same fallback when navigating to the
current version after the selected sub-page has been removed.
Review comments at @typescript2/app-beps/src/app/bcs/actions.ts:
- Line 118: Update the parentSlug parsing around optional() so an explicit empty
parentSlug means “top level” while an omitted value still means “unchanged.”
Preserve that distinction through refusal values so the form restores the
selected parent, and ensure applyChanges does not retain the existing parent for
an explicit top-level selection.
- Line 191: Update the removal failure response so stale refusals expose
`failure.currentVersion`, then update `RemovePageForm` to use that returned
version as the `baseVersion` for the next confirmed submission. Preserve the
existing refusal behavior for other failures.
Review comments at @typescript2/app-beps/src/lib/bcs-render.ts:
- Line 84: Update the extension match in pageLink to recognize .markdown
alongside the existing .md and .html extensions, so links such as
README.markdown resolve to the main proposal page rather than remaining relative
file URLs.
- Line 39: Update the ownStyles detection in the rendering flow to inspect style
elements in the parsed Markdown output rather than matching options.content
directly. Only treat an actual parsed style element as custom styling, so fenced
code examples containing style markup still receive DEFAULT_CSS and the bcs-page
class.
- Around line 117-118: Update the fragment-link handling in the rendering flow
that checks href.startsWith("#"): setting child.properties.target to "_self"
alone does not keep navigation within the srcdoc document. Make fragment links
resolve against the frame document and its generated heading IDs, while
preserving their fragment destination.
Review comments at @typescript2/app-beps/src/lib/static/bep-script.ts:
- Around line 950-954: Update bcs_local_edits so a missing meta.json or
pulledSha256 is treated as a local edit, preventing normal pulls from replacing
locally edited pages without warning. Preserve the existing digest comparison
when a pull baseline is available, and allow overwrite only when the user
explicitly requests it.
- Around line 929-932: Update the folder cleanup around folder.glob and the
pages directory removal to delete only recognized page files and generated page
content; preserve files such as index.md.bak and unrecognized files under
pages/. Ensure the replacement flow leaves these additional files intact when
the page digest matches.
- Around line 884-886: Update bcs_local_edits to recognize the legacy
pulledSha256 format when metadata lacks a pages key: compare it against the raw
main-page content digest so unchanged pre-PR folders are not reported as locally
edited. Preserve the current canonical page-digest comparison for metadata in
the newer format and keep existing behavior when local pages cannot be read.

- #anchor links stay inside the frame on every page, HTML pages included, and a link to
a #fragment of the open page scrolls it.
- A version's pages total at most 3 MB, so bep bcs can send and receive them through
Vercel's 4.5 MB body limit.
- Choosing the top level moves a sub-page there; a sub-page an older or newer version
lacks opens that version's main page; removing a page after someone else saved works
on the next try.
- Only a real <style> drops the default styles, not one shown in a code block; links to
.markdown pages are recognized.
- bep bcs pull replaces only page files, keeps a folder without a pull record, and
recognizes folders pulled by older scripts.

- Line 105: Update the page-set size validation around total and
MAX_VERSION_BYTES so it accounts for the serialized JSON request size, including
escaping and transport overhead, and rejects sets that exceed the documented 4.5
MB transport limit. Alternatively, use a conservative bound that guarantees
serialized requests stay within that limit while preserving the existing
content-size validation.
Review comments at @typescript2/app-beps/src/lib/bcs-render.ts:
- Around line 38-39: Update the script insertion logic that searches `page` for
`</body>` so it does not match closing-body text inside script content; insert
before the actual closing body element, or append the script without splitting
the supplied document when the actual element cannot be identified safely.
- Line 37: Update the HTML script assembled with FRAGMENT_SCRIPT to also include
the existing bcs-scroll message listener, so HTML pages respond to parent scroll
messages while preserving the current click handling.
Review comments at @typescript2/app-beps/src/lib/static/bep-script.ts:
- Line 972: Update the legacy digest check around the page comparison so it
accepts the baseline only when the local page set contains exactly the original
HTML main page. Treat added pages or an invalid page set as local edits,
preventing the pull flow from overwriting them without --force.

- A version's pages are limited by their size as JSON (4 MB), which escaping can make
several times the text, so bep bcs can always send and receive them.
- HTML pages scroll to the #fragment the site asks for, as Markdown pages do.
- The fragment script is appended to HTML pages instead of placed before the first

- A folder pulled by an older script counts as edited once it holds more than its
original HTML page.
