Book review required organizers to regenerate stale books manually. It now updates an existing book when review opens or saved settings and page choices change. First generation still lets the organizer choose the assignment mode and seed.

Updates wait for pending layout saves and operations. The preview stays visible while page edits and export are disabled. Failed updates retain the preview and offer Retry. Seed edits save on blur or Enter. Analytics record attempts, successes, failures, duration, trigger, stale cause, and retry use.

Validation covers these transitions:

Starting state and action Result
No book, choose settings Generation remains explicit
Stale book, open review or reload Automatic update with saved settings
Pending layout save or operation, open review Wait, then regenerate
Change mode, commit seed, assign a page, override resolution, reorder or add/delete a standalone page Save, then regenerate
Update in flight, switch tabs Keep one job running; edits and export stay blocked
Generation or layout save fails Keep preview, block export, recover on retry or reopening review

Validation: focused component/lifecycle tests, real-server browser tests, and the repository's bun run verify suite using CI's Node 26 runtime. Before/after screenshots use seeded local demo data in the real application shell; the failure screenshot uses an injected HTTP 503.

No deployment configuration or other changes outside the repository are required.

Closes #94

Implemented with OpenAI GPT-6 in Codex.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Books now update automatically after relevant project changes, with progress indicators and retryable error messages.
    • Existing books no longer offer manual regeneration; updates occur automatically.
    • Export actions and project controls are disabled while book updates are in progress.
    • Previous previews remain visible during updates and failures.
    • Layout changes are synchronized before book updates begin.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved recovery after failed generation, layout saves, and in-flight updates.
    • Prevented inconsistent states during page ordering, settings, assignments, standalone-page changes, and resolution overrides.

Record current and stale previews before implementing issue #94.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Summary

Book review now updates existing books automatically after stale changes. Generation waits for pending layout operations, disables conflicting controls, preserves stale previews on failure, and supports retry. Analytics and component and end-to-end tests cover the workflow.

Changes

Book regeneration workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Generation orchestration and analytics
src/hooks/use-book-generation.ts, src/lib/analytics.ts, src/hooks/use-book-generation.test.tsx
Adds generation lifecycle management, retries, stale-cause tracking, project updates, lifecycle guards, and regeneration analytics.
Layout-save coordination
src/components/layout-editor.tsx, src/routes/projects.$projectId.tsx
Tracks pending layout operations, exposes flush(), waits before generation, and propagates busy state to project controls.
Book review and export integration
src/components/book-review.tsx, src/components/export-panel.tsx
Routes updates through useBookGeneration, preserves stale previews, disables edits during updates, persists page and setting changes, and disables exports while busy.
Component and end-to-end validation
src/components/book-review.test.tsx, e2e/book-regeneration.spec.ts, e2e/critical-workflows.spec.ts
Covers regeneration triggers, retries, persistence, read-only controls, layout synchronization, standalone pages, page ordering, and scoped review assertions.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 789fe

Automatic regeneration can overwrite newly saved layouts with older project state while incorrectly marking the generated book current. This data-consistency issue should be fixed before merge.

36-37: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Move the latest.current assignment out of render.

latest.current = { project, active, onProjectChange, beforeGenerate, onBusyChange } mutates a ref during render. A discarded render can update the snapshot used by generate after its await, allowing an uncommitted project value to reach onProjectChange. React Doctor also reports this pattern as an error.

Move the assignment into an effect declared before the lifecycle effect:

♻️ Effect-based snapshot
-  const latest = useRef({ project, active, onProjectChange, beforeGenerate, onBusyChange })
-  latest.current = { project, active, onProjectChange, beforeGenerate, onBusyChange }
+  const latest = useRef({ project, active, onProjectChange, beforeGenerate, onBusyChange })
+  useEffect(() => {
+    latest.current = { project, active, onProjectChange, beforeGenerate, onBusyChange }
+  })

React 19.2 exports useEffectEvent, but it does not replace the snapshot needed for project.

rejection and restore the stored settings before updateSettings continues.
Preserve the normal successful save path and ensure subsequent regeneration uses
the restored stored settings.

@coderabbitai ignore pre-merge checks

The only failed pre-merge check is the default 80% Docstring Coverage warning. Neither package.json nor .github/workflows/ci.yml configures a docstring gate. The task instructions ask for comments that explain unintuitive behavior, not documentation on every function. Blanket docstrings on the touched UI handlers and test helpers would conflict with that guidance. Please dismiss this default coverage warning for this PR. Required repository CI checks and the two correctness findings remain in scope; those findings are being fixed and tested.

Approval outcome: Approval skipped: request-changes workflow disabled.

Reject overlapping saves through the existing error handler so draft
settings cannot appear saved. Wait for all pending layout operations and
return a failed flush result when one rejects. Read committed project
snapshots from the generation callbacks.

Reproduced the save rejection and layout failure cases before fixing.
Full bun run verify passes on Node 26: 437 unit/integration tests,

@coderabbitai review

Both actionable findings are fixed in 789fe96 and their threads are resolved with test evidence. The render-time snapshot nit is also fixed with useLayoutEffect, so async callbacks read committed props before passive generation effects run. The default docstring-coverage warning was explicitly overridden because it is not a repository gate.

Please complete a fresh review cycle against this HEAD. Full local verification passes with 437 unit/integration tests and 28 browser tests. Independent delta review found no issues.

72-76: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Publish the generated book with the flushed project snapshot.

beforeGenerate() can return a newer project after it saves pending layouts. React does not synchronously update latest.current.project from the parent callback. Lines 72-76 can therefore restore the pre-flush layouts while marking a book generated from the flushed layouts as "current".

Spread saved when calling onProjectChange.

         latest.current.onProjectChange({
-          ...latest.current.project,
