Pull request overview
This PR adds section duplication functionality and E2E test coverage to the Theme Editor P0 implementation. The PR claims all P0 critical features are complete and production-ready, including a new section duplication capability with deep cloning, UI integration, and comprehensive test coverage (14 test cases + browser automation verification).
Changes:
- Added
duplicateSectionaction to Zustand store with JSON-based deep cloning - Integrated "Duplicate Section" menu item in editor sidebar with Copy icon and ARIA announcements

The duplicateSection function has a critical logic bug that overwrites the original section instead of creating a new one.
Current behavior (line 131):
newOrder.splice(index + 1, 0, sectionId);This inserts the same sectionId into the array, creating a duplicate reference to the original section.
Then at line 137:
[sectionId]: clonedSectionThis overwrites the original section's data with the cloned data (including the "(Copy)" title), affecting both array positions.
Expected behavior:
To properly duplicate a section, you need to:
- Generate a unique section ID for the duplicate (e.g.,
hero_copy_${timestamp}or use a CUID) - Insert this new ID into the section order array
- Store the cloned section data under this new ID in the config
Impact:
- Users cannot actually duplicate sections - clicking "Duplicate" just adds another reference to the same section
- The original section's title gets changed to include " (Copy)"
- Both "sections" in the list will share the same data and edits to one will affect the other
- This fundamentally breaks the duplication feature
Note: The test suite passes because the tests don't verify that two independent sections actually exist - they only check UI feedback and state changes.

The test suite doesn't verify that duplication actually creates independent sections.
What tests check:
- UI element visibility ("Duplicate Section" button)
- State changes (
isDirty, autosave triggers) - Undo/redo button states
- ARIA announcements
What tests DON'T check:
- That two independent sections exist after duplication
- That editing one doesn't affect the other
- That the section list shows two distinct items
- That the preview renders both sections
Missing critical test:
test('should create independent editable sections', async ({ page }) => {
// Duplicate hero
await duplicateSection('hero');
// Edit original hero title
await selectSection('Hero Section');
await fillInput('title', 'Original Hero');
// Edit duplicated hero title
await selectSection('Hero Section (Copy)');
await fillInput('title', 'Duplicated Hero');
// Verify both have different titles
expect(await getSection('hero').title).toBe('Original Hero');
expect(await getSection('hero_copy').title).toBe('Duplicated Hero');
});Result: Tests pass but don't catch that the feature is fundamentally broken. Both "sections" in the UI would share the same data in the actual implementation.

||
| ## Key Features Deep Dive | ||
|
|
||
| ### 1. Split-Pane Layout | ||
| - **Library**: `react-resizable-panels` | ||
| - **Split Ratio**: 40% sidebar, 60% preview | ||
| - **Collapsible**: Sidebar can collapse | ||
| - **Responsive**: Adjusts on smaller screens | ||
|
|
||
| ### 2. Live Preview | ||
| - **Implementation**: Iframe with postMessage bridge | ||
| - **Update Strategy**: Debounced (300ms) to prevent flicker | ||
| - **Communication**: Bidirectional messages for config updates and section selection | ||
| - **Security**: Origin verification on all messages | ||
|
|
||
| ### 3. Section Drag & Drop | ||
| - **Library**: `@dnd-kit/sortable` | ||
| - **Visual Feedback**: Drag handles (⋮⋮) visible on hover | ||
| - **Accessibility**: Keyboard sensors for arrow key reordering | ||
| - **ARIA**: Live region announcements for screen readers | ||
|
|
||
| ### 4. Autosave | ||
| - **Trigger**: 3-second debounce after any change | ||
| - **Strategy**: Save to draft, not live config | ||
| - **UI Feedback**: Status badge shows "Unsaved" → "Saving..." → "Saved at HH:MM:SS" | ||
| - **Manual Save**: Button available for immediate save | ||
|
|
||
| ### 5. Undo/Redo | ||
| - **Library**: zundo temporal middleware | ||
| - **Stack Size**: 50 entries limit | ||
| - **Shortcuts**: Ctrl+Z (undo), Ctrl+Shift+Z (redo) | ||
| - **UI**: Buttons disabled when stack is empty | ||
|
|
||
| ### 6. Viewport Switching | ||
| - **Modes**: Desktop (100%), Tablet (768px), Mobile (375px) | ||
| - **Toggle Group**: Mutually exclusive buttons | ||
| - **Preview Resize**: Iframe width adjusts smoothly | ||
| - **State Persistence**: Selected viewport persists during session | ||
|
|
||
| ### 7. Configuration Schema | ||
| - **Color Schemes**: 3 presets (Light, Dark, Ocean) | ||
| - **Color Properties**: 6 customizable (primary, background, text, etc.) | ||
| - **Typography**: Font family, sizes, line heights | ||
| - **Validation**: Zod schema for type safety | ||
|
|
||
| ### 8. Section Duplication | ||
| - **Implementation**: Deep clone with JSON.parse/stringify | ||
| - **Title Suffix**: Appends " (Copy)" to differentiate | ||
| - **Ordering**: Inserts right after original in list | ||
| - **Undo Support**: Full undo/redo integration | ||
| - **Accessibility**: ARIA announcements | ||
|
|
||
| ### 9. Command Dialog | ||
| - **Shortcut**: Command+K (Cmd+K on Mac) | ||
| - **Search**: Fuzzy search by name, description, keywords | ||
| - **Add Sections**: Shows only sections not in current order | ||
| - **Remove Sections**: Available via section dropdown menu | ||
|
|
||
| ## Known Limitations | ||
|
|
||
| ### Current Implementation | ||
| 1. **Inspector Mode**: Only hero section content updates verified in preview | ||
| 2. **Section Duplication**: "(Copy)" suffix is English-only (needs i18n) | ||
| 3. **Preview Updates**: Limited to hero section and visibility toggles | ||
| 4. **Block DnD**: Implemented but not fully tested in E2E | ||
| 5. **Media Picker**: Basic implementation, no advanced features | ||
|
|
||
| ### Non-Blocking Issues | ||
| - No automated tests for color scheme switching | ||
| - Draft/publish flow needs integration tests | ||
| - Preview bridge error handling could be improved | ||
|
|
||

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The documentation claims the section duplication feature is "COMPLETE" and "production-ready" (lines 10, 25, 343, 347), but this is inaccurate given the fundamental implementation bug.
Misleading claims:
- Line 25: "Section Duplication | ✅ COMPLETE | Deep clone with '(Copy)' suffix | 14 tests"
- Line 272-276: Describes implementation details that don't actually work
- Line 327: "No blocking bugs" - there is a critical blocking bug
- Line 343: "production-ready" - the feature is broken
Actual status:
The implementation appears to work from a UI perspective (tests pass), but the underlying logic is fundamentally broken. Users would discover immediately that:
- Clicking "Duplicate" doesn't create a new section
- The original section's title gets changed to include "(Copy)"
- Both list items refer to the same section data
- Editing either affects both
Impact on deployment:
This PR should NOT be marked as production-ready with this blocking issue. The documentation overstates the completeness and quality of the implementation.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Using JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(...)) for deep cloning has several limitations:
Potential issues:
- Loses function references - If sections contain callbacks or event handlers, they'll be lost
- Loses Date objects - Dates become strings, not Date instances
- Loses undefined values - Properties with
undefinedare removed - Loses Symbol keys - Symbol properties are ignored
- Circular references - Would throw an error (though unlikely in config data)
- RegExp objects - Converted to empty objects
{} - Map/Set - Converted to empty objects
Better alternatives:
// Option 1: structuredClone (modern browsers + Node 17+)
const clonedSection = structuredClone(currentSection);
// Option 2: Lodash cloneDeep (if already a dependency)
import { cloneDeep } from 'lodash-es';
const clonedSection = cloneDeep(currentSection);Why it hasn't caused issues yet:
The current StorefrontConfig types likely only contain plain objects, strings, numbers, booleans, and arrays, which JSON.parse/stringify handles correctly. However, this is a fragile assumption that could break if the config schema evolves to include Dates, Maps, or other complex types.
