ADR-0007 — Wiki Edit Flow & Auth Adjustments (v0.2.2)

Status: Accepted
Date: 2025-08-22

Context

Users could not edit others’ posts on wiki-enabled blogs unless they owned a blog. Auth feedback was unclear; initial auth no longer triggered on first load.

Decision

1. Edit flow: In edit mode, do not require currentBlog. Publish only service: BLOG_POST under the editor’s Name using the original identifier. Never publish service: BLOG from edit screens.
2. Auth: Trigger askForAccountInformation() on initial load (idempotent). Show loading states for Authenticate button and names popover.

Consequences

• Allows true wiki behavior; avoids accidental “create a blog first” blocker.
• Clear, accessible feedback during auth; fewer duplicate requests.
• Tests added to prevent regressions.
