Phase 4 of the OSS / pro split. The OSS image has no auth and no
server-side persistence — without this commit, the user's workspace
was ephemeral (lost on tab refresh). `.vlx` is a single-file JSON
snapshot of the entire workspace (boards, file groups, components,
wires, active board id) that the user can save to disk and reload
later.
New: utils/vlxFile.ts
- buildVlxPayload() / buildVlxBlob() — pure snapshot of the current
editor + simulator stores.
- triggerDownloadVlx({ name? }) — anchor-click download with a safe
filename. Returns the filename actually used.
- parseVlxFile(File) — async reader + validator. Checks
format === "velxio-project", version <= 1, and the required
arrays/objects are present. Throws VlxParseError with a human-
readable message on any issue.
- importVlxFile(File) — convenience wrapper that parses AND calls
useSimulatorStore.loadProjectState() with the result.
Format intentionally mirrors the server's POST /api/projects body so
a Pro user can export-from-pro and import-into-OSS losslessly (and
vice-versa once Pro adds an Export button — out of scope here).
lib/proSaveAction.ts: the default (no-overlay) implementation now
calls triggerDownloadVlx() instead of console.info'ing about the
missing handler. The Pro overlay still wins via installSaveActionImpl()
— Save in Pro keeps opening SaveProjectModal. The Save button in OSS
now actually saves.
components/editor/FileExplorer.tsx: new "Open .vlx" button next to
New + Save. Opens a hidden file input; confirms with the user before
replacing the workspace (loadProjectState is destructive); surfaces
VlxParseError messages via window.alert.
Verified with both builds:
- OSS-only: triggerSaveAction → download .vlx; FileExplorer shows
3 buttons (New, Open, Save).
- OSS + overlay: Pro's installSaveActionImpl overrides — Save opens
SaveProjectModal as before. Open .vlx still works (independent
button, not part of the save flow).
