Respect custom view writing systems in the FW Lite dictionary preview

AI summary

The FW Lite dictionary preview and the entry list now follow the current view's writing system selection.

• Dictionary preview (DictionaryEntry, Headwords): headwords, glosses, definitions, example sentences and translations only use the writing systems the current view shows. This covers the entry list in preview mode, the entry view preview, duplicate-check matches, task subject popups and activity previews.
• Entry list sort: the headword sort and the writing system pill default to the view's first vernacular instead of the project default. A user's pick is kept, but only applies while the current view shows that writing system. The pill only lists the view's vernaculars.
• Audio-only views: a view whose only vernaculars are audio falls back to every text vernacular (new WritingSystemService.viewVernacularNoAudio), so headwords don't go blank.
• Test hook: the demo user isn't a project Manager, so the "Manage custom views" UI isn't available in UI tests. A new __PLAYWRIGHT_UTILS__.addCustomView creates a view and refreshes the app's view list.

Built-in views don't restrict writing systems, so they behave as before.

Test plan

• Unit tests for viewVernacularNoAudio (view filtering, no restriction, audio-only fallback)
• UI tests in tests/ui/sort.test.ts pass on chromium and webkit, including two new ones: a custom view's first vernacular drives the headword/sort, and an audio-only view still shows headwords in preview mode
• Confirmed the new custom-view sort test fails without the fix
• Manually: create a custom view with a subset of writing systems and check the entry list (simple and preview modes) and the entry view preview

Walkthrough

Dictionary and browse components now derive writing systems from the active view. Browse sorting uses a selected writing system when it belongs to the view; otherwise it uses the view’s first vernacular system. A new service method excludes audio systems and falls back to all non-audio vernacular systems when the view has none. Tests cover restricted views and views containing only audio systems.

Merge Risk

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a06dc

Restricted views can show an excluded headword or default to the wrong writing system. Correct these behaviors before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to a06dc

The changes adjust which writing systems existing previews and sorting use. The new custom-view helper operates on demo-owned in-memory data and does not provide a demonstrated path to modify real projects. No material security risk was found introduced or worsened by this PR.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The assessed production effect is presentation and sort selection within the existing project context. The audio-only fallback does not newly grant access to previously unavailable project content: the base previews already used project-wide text writing systems. Active-view filtering should therefore be understood as presentation behavior, not authorization.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The regular custom-view management UI requires the Manager role, whereas the new window helper bypasses that UI gate. Its inspected setup binds the service to InMemoryDemoApi, whose custom views are held in a private in-memory array. Browser scripts could already call the exposed demo API before this PR; the helper adds refresh behavior rather than demonstrated real-project authority.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — The helper reuses the existing create-then-refresh transition. Creation updates demo memory before refresh completes, so interruption or refresh failure could leave the displayed list stale; repeated calls can append duplicate IDs. These bounded demo-state properties do not establish a new production rollback, authorization or containment failure.

And skips the audio tracks along.

fallback behavior and leave effectiveSortWs selection unchanged.

Made a few tweaks for entries that have no headword in the view's writing systems:

• Simple list: a headword from a writing system other than the sort one is tagged with that writing system (first screenshot).
• Preview: an entry with nothing in the view's vernaculars shows the forms it does have instead of a blank headword (second screenshot).
• Duplicate check: matches show every writing system, since matching looks at all of them.
