Ty Clifford c391feb450 - Update now reads the live editor text from NSTextStorage instead of relying on any stale editor state, sends it as markdown plus compatibility aliases, and refuses to overwrite the editor with stale Markdown if the server response doesn’t echo the new content.

I also updated [api.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/blog/api.php) 
so content.save accepts markdown, content, or body for post/page 
content.

Changelog

All notable changes to Ty Clifford's Content Management System are documented here.

2026-07-05

Added api.php for .env username/password authenticated remote management of content, media uploads, and comments.
Added a native AppKit macOS 12+ client under macclient/ for editing posts/pages, uploading media, moderating comments, local autosave, and optional remote draft autosave.
Added Mac client post/page list pagination with configurable per-page counts.
Added Mac client editor spell-check and auto-correct options.
Added a Mac client Update action for saving existing posts/pages without changing their current draft/published status.
Added a declared shortcode parser with PHP-array/JSON configuration, including [youtube=<id>] and [video poster=<poster> file=<file>].
Added lone-embed.php as the generated HTML5 video player target for video shortcodes.

Simplified API and Mac client authentication to .env username/password only, removing token-based auth.
Fixed Mac client resizing, maximized editor text reflow, startup layout refresh, guarded undo/redo behavior, keyboard focus traversal, and standard Command-key shortcuts including Settings and Update.
Fixed Mac client Update so edited Markdown is read from the live text storage and stale save responses no longer overwrite the editor.
Expanded the API content save endpoint to accept markdown, content, or body payload fields for editor content.
Blocked direct web access to .env and the macclient/ source folder through .htaccess, with matching .env protection in the local PHP router.

Created a fresh PHP, SQLite, JSON, and Markdown blog CMS with Bludit-style bl-content/pages/<slug>/index.txt content folders.
Added pretty URL routing through .htaccess, RSS feed output, sitemap output, search, pagination, categories, tags, archives, static pages, and social link rendering.
Added a dark-neon default theme with visitor-selectable light mode and accent colors: green, blue, red, pink, purple, and orange.
Added CLI content management through cli/blog.php for creating, updating, deleting, listing, rebuilding, moderating comments, editing site settings, managing social links, and reading stats summaries.
Added SQLite-backed comments with moderation, captcha, and honeypot protection.
Added human-readable CSV visit stats designed for spreadsheet import.
Added subdirectory install support through base_path, base_url, route parsing, and base-aware URL generation.
Added cli/import-bludit.php for importing Bludit content from a local server directory, preserving publish dates, modified dates, static pages, statuses, categories, tags, authors, cover metadata, page order, uploads, page-local files, and best-effort comments.
Added trusted post/page rendering for raw HTML, iframes, JavaScript, and executable PHP inside Markdown .txt content.

Replaced the previous Bludit application tree with a purpose-built CMS while keeping copy-friendly Bludit-style content storage.
Updated default branding to Ty Clifford's Content Management System.
Expanded pagination controls to show Previous, up to 10 page numbers around the current page, Next, and a per-page summary.

Smoke-tested core routes, feed, sitemap, search, static pages, assets, comments, stats, and subdirectory loading with the local FrankenPHP runtime.
Tested the Bludit importer with a synthetic local Bludit directory, including dry-run and real import cleanup.
