+# UI Designer Improvements
+
+A broad sweep over the Inspector's SDK7 UI Designer: a 9-phase spec plus two auto-fix iterations, a deferred-items follow-up, a texture union picker, and a canvas preview. Delivered together: full `PBUiTransform`/`UiText`/`UiInput`/`UiDropdown` **property coverage**, **canvas fidelity** (border/radius/zIndex + per-type Input/Dropdown/Button visuals), **conditional fields** (margin disabled under Absolute), **px↔% conversion** against the parent's measured box, an **RGBA color picker** on `react-colorful`, per-property **tooltips**, **variable-default editors** (boolean toggle + color swatch), clearer **callback field UX**, per-sub-field **scalar bindings** to NUMBER variables, a **shared variable codec** in `@dcl/asset-packs` (single source for inspector editors + runtime renderer), and a 3-variant **texture union picker** (File/Avatar/Video) with a file-variant **canvas DOM preview**.
+
+The raw per-phase findings live in `docs/specs/ui-designer-improvements{,-fixes-1,-fixes-2}/learnings/` and the review reports alongside each spec; this doc is the distilled, durable layer.
+
+---
+
+## Key Patterns & Conventions Established
+
+### `FieldConfig.writeAll` — one control fans out to all corners/sides
+
+A `writeAll?: string[]` member on `FieldConfig` lets a single editor write its value to *every* listed PB path (and the matching `${path}Unit` for `length`). Reads come from `path`. This is how "one Corner radius → all 4 corners", Border width → all 4 sides, and Border color → all 4 colors work, mirroring the existing padding/margin quad pattern.
+
+**Why:** matches the common authoring intent (set one radius) while keeping per-corner control reachable, without a bespoke editor per group.
+**File:** `packages/inspector/src/components/UIDesigner/field-configs.ts:63-68` (the member); `expandWriteAll(...)` in `packages/inspector/src/components/UIDesigner/PropertyPanel.tsx:83` (the fan-out).
+**Reuse:** any "single control → N sibling PB keys" group.
+
+### `FieldConfig.disabledWhen(componentValue)` — conditional field disable
+
+A pure predicate `(componentValue) => boolean` on `FieldConfig`. When it returns true the editor renders greyed/`disabled`. Reads the same `componentValue` the `FieldRow` already holds — no Redux plumbing. Used to disable margin when `positionType === Absolute` (Yoga ignores it).
+
+**Why:** least-invasive hook for conditional state; a predicate over already-available data beats a new prop chain.
+**File:** `field-configs.ts:69-74` (the member); evaluated at `PropertyPanel.tsx:251`.
+**Reuse:** any field whose validity depends on a sibling value. Note the implemented disable greys only the input controls, not the `Block` label (a full label+control grey would need a `disabled` prop threaded through `BindableField` → `Block`).
+
+### `FieldConfig.info` + `Block` `info` prop → `InfoTooltip`
+
+Per-property help text. `FieldConfig.info` is a `string`; `Block` gained an `info?: React.ReactNode` prop that renders the existing `InfoTooltip` (wraps decentraland-ui `Popup`) as a help-icon trigger beside the label.
+
+**Why:** reuses an existing tooltip component; only the `Block` wiring + the help strings are new.
+**File:** `packages/inspector/src/components/Block/Block.tsx:17-25` (`.Block-label-row` span + `InfoTooltip`); `InfoTooltip` imported from the subdir barrel `../ui/InfoTooltip` (named export only).
+**Reuse:** any `Block`-wrapped field can take `info=…`.
+
+### `useFieldBinding(field, entity)` — shared bind/unbind + picker state
+
+A hook holding `pickerOpen`/`anchorRef`/`onBind`/`onUnbind` and the `${componentId}.${path}` path key. Consolidated `BindableField` and `BindableSubField`, which were near-verbatim copies (a fixes-1 finding).
+
+**Why:** binding-affordance changes now touch one place; removed a duplicated component's worth of logic and a duplicated CSS hover rule.
+**File:** `packages/inspector/src/components/UIDesigner/useFieldBinding.ts`.
+**Reuse:** any new bindable affordance variant — wrap the hook, vary only the surrounding markup (Block vs. bare row).
+
+### Per-sub-field scalar binding to NUMBER variables (no Vec2/Vec4)
+
+Layout/number scalars (`width`, each `positionTop`, `opacity`, `fontSize`, `selectedIndex`, …) bind individually to a NUMBER variable via per-sub-field bind affordances. The renderer resolves them through a generic "resolve bound `core::UiTransform` fields" pass — no new variable type, no codegen/`parseDefault` change.
+
+**Why:** per-`field.path` scalar binding fully delivers "bind width / bind position" and fits the existing model. Vec2/Vec4 would only add atomic *pair* binding (one var → whole Size — not the ask) at the cost of touching `variable-enums`, codegen, runtime, and UI. Deliberately scoped out.
+**File:** picker mapping in `VariablePicker` (`KIND_TO_VARIABLE_TYPES`); the renderer transform-resolution pass in `packages/asset-packs/src/ui-renderer.tsx` (inside `Node`). Renderer pass iterates the per-entity bindings map once per node per tick, early-`continue`ing on non-transform keys and cloning `transform` shallowly only when a transform field is actually bound — negligible cost.
+
+### `RgbaColorField` on `react-colorful` — Color4 ↔ RGBA, portal popover
+
+A swatch button that opens a `react-colorful` `RgbaColorPicker` in a `createPortal` popover. Replaces the old native `<input type=color>` + range slider (RGB-only, no alpha). Color4 channels are 0..1; react-colorful RGBA is r/g/b 0..255, a 0..1 — conversion in `color.ts`.
+
+**Why:** the native inputs couldn't carry the UIDesigner's Color4 alpha; `react-colorful` (~2.8 kb) was user-requested. Same component reused for color **variable defaults** in `VariablesPanel`.
+**File:** `packages/inspector/src/components/ui/RgbaColorField/RgbaColorField.tsx`; conversions in `packages/inspector/src/components/ui/RgbaColorField/color.ts` (`color4ToRgba`/`rgbaToColor4`/`color4ToHex`; `hexToColor4` delegates to the shared `parseHexColor`).
+**Reuse:** any Color4 editor. Imported from the subdir (`../ui/RgbaColorField`), not the top-level `../ui` barrel.
+
+### px↔% conversion via `measure.ts` + the `node-registry` entity→element Map
+
+On a length unit switch, `convertLength` recomputes the value against the parent's rendered logical px box. The parent box is found by `measureParentBox(entity)` → `getNodeElement(entity)` (a `Map<number, HTMLElement>`) → `.parentElement.getBoundingClientRect() / CANVAS_SCALE`. `axisForPath` picks width vs. height (`/height|top|bottom/i`).
+
+**Why:** the DOM box is already measured for the canvas; no Redux plumbing. The `Map` (`node-registry.ts`) **replaced** the prior `document.querySelector('[data-entity="…"]')` lookup — removing the string-interpolated selector sink entirely (a tracked security pattern), not just hardening it. Guard: unmeasurable parent → `dim=0` → value unchanged (just swaps the unit).
+**File:** `packages/inspector/src/components/UIDesigner/measure.ts` (+ `node-registry.ts`); canvas registers/unregisters each node element in `Canvas.tsx:389-391`.
+**Reuse:** any code needing a node's live DOM box — call `getNodeElement(entity)`, never build a `[data-entity]` selector.
+
+### Shared variable codec in `@dcl/asset-packs` (`variable-codecs.ts`)
+
+A single validated codec per `VariableType`, exported from asset-packs and imported by **both** the inspector editors and the runtime renderer: `parseVariableDefault` (string → runtime value), `validateVariableDefault` (editor-side, returns error message or null), `parseHexColor` (strict `#RRGGBB`/`#RRGGBBAA` → Color4-shaped, NaN-safe), and `validateAssetPath` (defense-in-depth path check). It is a **pure module** — strings/numbers/plain objects only.
+
+**Why:** color/number/default validation previously diverged between two parsers in two packages (inspector vs. renderer). One codec means the editor rejects exactly what the renderer can't parse. The renderer's old `parseDefault` wrapper was inlined — `ui-renderer.tsx` now calls `parseVariableDefault` directly.
+**File:** `packages/asset-packs/src/variable-codecs.ts`; consumed by `ui-renderer.tsx:101,138`, `VariablesPanel.tsx`, `RgbaColorField/color.ts`, and `TextureField.tsx`.
+**Reuse / contract notes:** STRING and STRING_ARRAY defaults are **free text** (always valid — no `..` guard; path rules belong on asset fields, not free-text vars). `validateAssetPath` is the single source of the `'Invalid asset path'` message; it is a labelled **operator-trust defense-in-depth** denylist (`..`, `\`, `%2e`/`%2E`, leading `/`) — not a trust-boundary validator. If ever reused to gate a real fs/HTTP fetch, decode + normalise before checking.
+
+### `TextureField` — 3-variant union picker + canvas DOM preview
+
+`TextureField` owns the `PBUiBackground.texture` `TextureUnion`: a Type dropdown (File / Avatar / Video) plus the per-variant editor, each writing the discriminated `{ tex: { $case, … } }` shape. The canvas previews the **file** variant only, resolving `texture.src` to a blob URL via `useAssetUrl` and layering it as a CSS `background-image`.
+
+**Why:** the union needed a dedicated picker, validation, and per-variant inputs; consolidating it in one component keeps `PropertyPanel`'s `texture` case to a thin `<TextureField value onChange>`. `useAssetUrl` was generalized from the Scene Info panel to also serve the canvas loader.
+**File:** `packages/inspector/src/components/UIDesigner/TextureField/TextureField.tsx`; preview wiring in `Canvas.tsx` (`texSrc` read at :327, `useAssetUrl` at :328, `textureStyle` at :289, applied at :676); `packages/inspector/src/hooks/useAssetUrl.ts`.
+**Reuse:** the `$case` write shape and the `validateAssetPath`-on-commit pattern for any other `TextureUnion`/asset-path field.
+
+---
+
+## Gotchas / Watch Points
+
+### asset-packs cross-package VALUE imports need a rebuild first
+
+The asset-packs public API is exported via `src/definitions.ts`, built to `dist/definitions.js` (the package `main`). A **value** import from `@dcl/asset-packs` in the inspector (e.g. `parseHexColor`, `validateVariableDefault`, `VariableType`) only resolves **after** `make build-asset-packs` — the monorepo dependency order is asset-packs → inspector. Editing `variable-codecs.ts` or `ui-renderer.tsx` and then running the inspector typecheck without rebuilding asset-packs will fail to resolve the new value export. (Also captured tersely in CLAUDE.md.)
+
+### asset-packs lib build is strict — pure modules only in `src/`
+
+The lib build (`tsc -p tsconfig.lib.json` + `sdk-commands build`) tolerates **no** `vitest` or Node imports in `src/`, and uses `@dcl/sdk/math` types. `variable-codecs.ts` deliberately ships zero test imports and zero node APIs — its **unit tests live in the inspector** (`packages/inspector/src/components/UIDesigner/variable-codecs.spec.ts`), not in asset-packs/src. This is the same trap recorded in CLAUDE.md's "asset-packs unit specs" note: a stray `import … from 'vitest'` in `src/` drags vitest→vite→rollup→`@types/node` global types into the lib build and breaks it with `console`/`Response`/`Worker` conflicts. Cross-reference that note before adding any `.spec.ts` under `asset-packs/src/`.
+
+### Removing a required `FieldConfig` member from object literals fails typecheck
+
+`fixes-1` tried to drop the (unused) `label` from two synthetic `BindableSubField` field literals; this yielded `TS2741: Property 'label' is missing` because `FieldConfig.label` was required. The fix was to make `label?: string` **optional first**, then drop it from the synthetic literals — this blocked an executor mid-run until the type was relaxed. Audit every `.label` read before relaxing such a member (all consumers here — `Block`, `MixedContentField`, React `key`s — already tolerated `undefined`).
+
+### `react-colorful` 5.7.0 ships no `dist/*.css`
+
+Styles inject at runtime via JS, so the CSS-import fallback (`import 'react-colorful/dist/index.css'`) is **N/A** — that path does not exist and would fail to resolve. The package hoists to the repo-root `node_modules` (workspaces), and its `exports` map blocks subpath access (`require('react-colorful/package.json')` throws `ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED`).
+
+### vitest include glob must list `.spec.tsx`
+
+`vitest.config.js` `include` originally only had `src/**/*.spec.ts`. A vitest CLI path filter is **intersected** with `include`, so a `.spec.tsx` reported "No test files found" until `src/**/*.spec.tsx` was added to the array (esbuild also refuses JSX in a `.ts` file). `vitest run --include …` is not a valid flag in vitest 1.6 — edit the config, not the CLI.
+
+### Validate at the output sink, not (only) the write path
+
+The texture preview had a CSS `url()` injection: validation existed on the **write** path, but the **render** path read the stored value fresh and interpolated it into `background-image: url("…")`. The fix went at the sink — `safeTextureUrl()` in `Canvas.tsx:278` (reject `["'()\\` + whitespace; allowlist `blob:`/`https?:`/`data:image/` schemes), applied in `textureStyle` before the single interpolation point. **General principle:** when a value can reach a sink through a path that bypasses the writer's validation (stale state, imported scene, older build), harden at the sink — it does not depend on every upstream writer being trustworthy.
+
+### `Block` label-row CSS — extend the margin selector, don't drop it
+
+Wrapping `<Label>` in a `.Block-label-row` span moved it out of `.Block`'s direct children, which would have silently stopped `.Block > .Label { margin-bottom: … }` from applying to **every** Block across the whole inspector (Block is widely reused). The fix: extend the selector to `.Block > .Block-label-row` (row carries the margin) and add `.Block-label-row > .Label { margin-bottom: 0 }` (inner Label doesn't double it). Watch for this whenever you reparent a widely-used component's child.
+
+### `docs/specs/` is git-excluded via `.git/info/exclude`
+
+The spec/learnings/review files are excluded locally (not via the shared `.gitignore`), so `git status`-based checks won't surface writes under `docs/specs/`. Worth knowing if a workflow gates on `git status` seeing spec output.

+
+## Known Residuals / Future Work
+
+Things genuinely still open after all phases + fixes + the deferred follow-up + the texture work landed:
+
+- **Avatar / Video texture RUNTIME render is unverified.** The picker writes the `avatarTexture` / `videoTexture` `$case` shapes correctly, but whether react-ecs / Babylon render them in-world was not exercised in this environment.
+- **Canvas preview is file-variant only.** Only `texture.$case === 'texture'` (a file `src`) is previewed on the canvas; avatar and video variants show no image preview (background color still shows).
+- **Nine-slices preview is approximated as a full stretch.** `textureStyle` has no per-side slice values, so `NINE_SLICES` is rendered as `background-size: 100% 100%` (border-image slicing is out of scope for the preview).
+- **Texture `offset` / `tiling` / `wrapMode` / `filterMode` are not exposed** in the editor (only the `texture` union + `textureMode`).
+- **Path/encoding denylist is operator-trust only.** `validateAssetPath` and `parseHexColor` are defense-in-depth for an operator authoring their own scene; they are not normalised allowlists. Do not copy them into a context that crosses a trust boundary without decode+normalise+allowlist.
+
+Items that were **deferred earlier but are now DONE** (do not re-track as open): the **shared variable codec** (`variable-codecs.ts`), the **entity→element ref registry** replacing the `[data-entity]` selector, the **`BindableField`/`BindableSubField` consolidation** (`useFieldBinding`), and the **texture union picker** all landed.
