Evan Reichard 2a9e793971 feat: implement WYSIWYG markdown editor with Go backend and React frontend
Implements full markdown editor application with:

Backend (Go):
- Cobra CLI with --data-dir, --port, --host flags
- REST API for CRUD operations on markdown files
- File storage on disk with flat structure
- Logrus logging for all operations
- Static asset serving for frontend
- Comprehensive tests for CRUD and static assets

Frontend (React + TypeScript + Tailwind):
- Markdown editor with live GFM preview
- File management UI (list, create, open, save, delete)
- Theme system (Dark, Light, System) with persistence
- Responsive design (320px to 1920px)
- Component tests for core functionality

Integration:
- Full CRUD workflow from frontend to backend
- Static asset serving verified
- All tests passing (backend: 2/2, frontend: 6/6)

Files added:
- Backend: API handler, logger, server, tests
- Frontend: Components, tests, config files
- Build artifacts: compiled backend binary and frontend dist
- Documentation: README and implementation summary

Implementation Summary

Overview

Successfully implemented a WYSIWYG Markdown Editor with Go backend and React/TypeScript frontend according to SPEC.md.

Backend Implementation (Go)

Completed Milestones

B1: CLI & Server Setup

  • Cobra CLI with --data-dir, --port, --host flags
  • HTTP server with basic routing
  • Default values: data-dir=./data, port=8080, host=127.0.0.1

B2: CRUD API

  • REST endpoints for markdown files:
    • GET /api/{filename}.md - Read file
    • POST /api/{filename}.md - Create file
    • PUT /api/{filename}.md - Update file
    • DELETE /api/{filename}.md - Delete file
  • JSON error responses (4xx/5xx)

B3: File Storage

  • Read/write .md files to disk
  • Flat file structure in data directory

B4: Logging

  • Comprehensive logrus logging for all operations
  • Info level logging with timestamps

B5: Static Assets

  • Serves frontend build files from frontend/dist
  • Proper routing to serve index.html and assets

B6: Backend Tests

  • CRUD round-trip tests (create, read, update, delete)
  • Static asset serving tests
  • All tests passing
