Rune Editor Compatibility Spec

This spec covers all remaining runes that need updates for editor compatibility. Three runes have already been updated: recipe, hero, and feature. This document covers everything else.

Background

The block editor needs three things from each rune to support visual editing:

  1. data-name on structural elements — set via refs in createComponentRenderable (not data-field, which is for modifier properties consumed by the engine)
  2. editHints in engine config — maps each data-name value to an edit mode (inline, link, code, image, icon, none)
  3. No incorrect attribute usage — no manual data-field where data-name should be used; no manual data-rune on children (root gets it automatically via createComponentRenderable)

Reference: Edit Modes

ModeBehaviorTypical Use
inlineContenteditable with formatting toolbarHeadlines, blurbs, body text, list items
linkURL + display text fieldsAction buttons, CTA links
codeCode editor popoverTerminal commands, code snippets
imageFile picker + alt textMedia, cover images, avatars
iconIcon picker galleryFeature icons, decorative icons
noneNot directly editableGenerated content, decorative elements

Reference: Updated Rune Patterns

See the already-updated runes for canonical examples:

  • Recipe (runes/learning/src/tags/recipe.ts + runes/learning/src/config.ts) — editHints for inline content, images, structure badges
  • Hero (runes/marketing/src/tags/hero.ts + runes/marketing/src/config.ts) — editHints for actions (link), commands (code), media (image)
  • Feature (runes/marketing/src/tags/feature.ts + runes/marketing/src/config.ts) — editHints for definition items (icon, title, description)

Package: @refrakt-md/marketing

CTA (runes/marketing/src/tags/cta.ts)

Current state: Has editHints and autoLabel in config already. Well-structured.

Changes needed:

  • None — already has editHints: { headline: 'inline', eyebrow: 'inline', blurb: 'inline', action: 'link', command: 'code' } and autoLabel with pageSectionAutoLabel

Status: DONE ✓

Bento (runes/marketing/src/tags/bento.ts)

Current state: Has editHints and autoLabel for section-level fields. But manually creates meta tags with data-field for gap, columns, sizing (lines 191-193).

Changes needed:

  • Replace manual data-field on meta tags (lines 191-193) with proper properties in createComponentRenderable so they flow through the standard modifier pipeline
  • Verify editHints coverage is complete

Config editHints (already present): { headline: 'inline', eyebrow: 'inline', blurb: 'inline' }

Status: DONE ✓

BentoCell (nested in runes/marketing/src/tags/bento.ts)

Current state: No editHints, no autoLabel (only autoLabel: { name: 'title' } in config). Properties include name, size, span, icon. Refs include body, icon.

Changes needed:

  • Add editHints: { title: 'inline', icon: 'icon' }
  • Verify body ref has appropriate data-name

Status: DONE ✓

Steps (runes/marketing/src/tags/steps.ts)

Current state: Has editHints and autoLabel for section-level fields.

Changes needed:

  • None at section level — already has pageSectionAutoLabel and editHints for headline, eyebrow, blurb

Status: DONE ✓

Step (nested in runes/marketing/src/tags/steps.ts)

Current state: No editHints. Manually sets data-name='content' and data-name='media' on wrapper divs. Uses SplitLayoutModel.

Changes needed:

  • Move manual data-name assignments to refs in createComponentRenderable
  • Add editHints: { content: 'none', media: 'image' }

Status: DONE ✓

Pricing (runes/marketing/src/tags/pricing.ts)

Current state: Has editHints and autoLabel for section-level fields. Manually sets data-layout and data-columns on ul element.

Changes needed:

  • Review whether data-layout and data-columns on the tiersList ul should be standard modifiers/properties
  • Verify section-level editHints coverage

Status: DONE ✓

Tier / FeaturedTier (nested in runes/marketing/src/tags/pricing.ts)

Current state: No editHints. Properties include name (h1), description, price (p), currency (meta), url (anchor). Refs include body.

Changes needed:

  • Add editHints: { name: 'inline', price: 'inline' }

Status: DONE ✓

Testimonial (runes/marketing/src/tags/testimonial.ts)

Current state: No editHints, no autoLabel. Critical issues:

  • Manually sets data-field='author-name' and data-field='author-role' on created spans (lines 44, 55) — should use refs / data-name
  • No refs defined at all — everything is in properties

Changes needed:

  • Move quote, authorName, authorRole, avatar from properties to refs
  • Remove manual data-field assignments (lines 44, 55) — let createComponentRenderable handle via refs
  • Keep rating as property (modifier/meta value)
  • Add editHints: { 'author-name': 'inline', 'author-role': 'inline', avatar: 'image', quote: 'inline' }
  • Add autoLabel for blockquote → quote mapping

Status: DONE ✓

Cross-Cutting Issues

1. data-field in createComponentRenderable

The createComponentRenderable function itself (at packages/runes/src/lib/component.ts:34) sets data-field on properties. This is the standard behavior — properties are modifier/meta values consumed by the engine. The issue is when runes put visible, structural elements in properties instead of refs. The fix for each rune is to move visible elements to refs.

2. data-field in packages/runes/src/config.ts

The core config uses data-field reads in several postTransform helpers (lines 66, 147, 355, 772, 804, 873, 905). These are internal engine patterns for reading property metadata and may need separate assessment for whether they should migrate to a different attribute.

3. Test Updates

Many tests across all packages assert on data-field values. When runes are updated to use refs/data-name, corresponding tests must be updated. This is a significant portion of the work.

4. Priority Order

Recommended implementation order:

  1. Marketing (Testimonial, Bento, Tier, Comparison*) — DONE ✓
  2. Core (Hint, Details, Accordion, Tabs, Figure, Grid, etc.) — DONE ✓
  3. Docs (Api, Symbol, Changelog) — DONE ✓
  4. Learning (HowTo) — follows recipe pattern closely — DONE ✓
  5. Business (Cast, Organization, Timeline) — straightforward — DONE ✓
  6. Places (Event, Itinerary, Map) — Map has legacy data-field issue — DONE ✓
  7. Storytelling (Character, Realm, Faction, Lore, Plot, Bond, Storyboard) — many runes, consistent pattern — DONE ✓
  8. Design (Palette, Typography, Spacing, Preview, Mockup) — mostly generated content
  9. Media (Playlist, Track, Audio) — legacy issues in Playlist — DONE ✓
