BFlat e1b16cf2de Character mention chips + mention fixes (#1815)
### New stuff
- Character `@mentions` in the video promptbox now show as **chips with
a thumbnail**, so you can see exactly which character is attached to the
prompt
- Clicking a chip opens a menu to **Replace** (pick another character),
**Preview** (view their image), or **Remove** the mention
- Chips behave like a single unit - one backspace deletes the whole
mention, and removing/replacing can be undone with Ctrl+Z
- Copying prompt text still gives clean plain text (`@name ...`), and
pasting it back restores the chips
- When two characters share a name, the one you actually picked is now
the one that gets sent

### Fixes
- Mobile: the `@` autocomplete no longer goes off-screen - it stays
inside the viewport, flips below the caret when needed, and taps select
reliably
- Focus mode: the autocomplete no longer pushes the prompt sideways /
causes overflow
- Enter-to-generate now works while the mention editor is active on the
webapp

Frontend

This is an nx monorepo that can contain multiple apps and shared libraries.

All commands to run these projects are performed from this directory (except the repo-root launcher scripts noted below).

Requirements

  • Node.js 20+ (Nx 21 / Vite 6 requirement). Install via nvm, nodejs.org, or brew install node.
  • npm (ships with Node).

We use npm, not pnpm. pnpm was briefly adopted ("add pnpm to solve build issues") and later removed ("fix(frontend): consume video-editor libs via nx path aliases, drop pnpm"). If you have leftovers from that era — a pnpm-lock.yaml, pnpm-workspace.yaml, or a node_modules/.pnpm directory — npm installs will fail (typically with ENOTEMPTY rename errors). See Troubleshooting below.

Install dependencies

npm install

Running the apps in dev mode

From the repository root, the launcher scripts (these preflight your environment, install dependencies, and free the dev port first):

./script/website/unix_frontend_dev.sh           # artcraft-website (marketing site), port 4200
./script/website/unix_frontend_webapp_dev.sh    # artcraft-webapp (user dashboard), port 4201
./script/artcraft/unix_frontend_dev.sh          # artcraft (Tauri app frontend), port 5173

Or directly from this directory:

nx dev artcraft-website
nx dev artcraft-webapp
nx dev artcraft        # NB: the Tauri app also needs the Rust dev server running
nx dev editor2d

Building

npx nx build artcraft-website
npx nx build artcraft-webapp
npx nx build artcraft
npx nx build editor2d

Netlify deploys run apps/<app>/script/netlify_build.sh (see each app's netlify.toml).

Troubleshooting

npm install fails with ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty, rename ...

Your node_modules tree is corrupted — usually an interrupted install, or a tree written by pnpm back when the repo briefly used it. Fix:

./clean_modules.sh
npm install

Or the manual minimum:

rm -rf node_modules .nx pnpm-lock.yaml pnpm-workspace.yaml
npm install

Stale build state after switching branches

Call this when starting on main or a new branch:

./clean_modules.sh

It removes all dist/ outputs, resets the nx cache, and removes node_modules.

Import aliases

The names for @frontend and @storyteller come from the package.json file in the libs folder:

import { Login } from "@frontend/login";
import { api } from "@storyteller/api";

For shared UI components, import from @storyteller/ui-[componentname]:

import { Button } from "@storyteller/ui-button";
import { Modal } from "@storyteller/ui-modal";

Generating a new component library

# 1. Generate the library
npx nx g @nx/react:library libs/components/toaster --import-path=@storyteller/ui-toaster --bundler=vite
npm install

# 2. Import it somewhere in code

# 3. Sync and build
nx sync
nx build
