Minor Changes

• #1146 11b3001 Thanks @MohamedH1998! - Adds first-class i18n support for bylines, mirroring the row-per-locale model already used by menus and taxonomies (PR #916, migrations 036).

  Schema (migration 040)

  _emdash_bylines gains two columns:

  • locale — TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'en'. Every row now belongs to exactly one locale.
  • translation_group — TEXT NOT NULL. Shared across every locale variant of a single byline identity. The anchor row's translation_group equals its id; siblings inherit it.

  A partial unique index idx_bylines_group_locale_unique enforces one row per (translation_group, locale). The pre-existing (slug) unique index becomes (slug, locale) to allow the same slug across locales.

  Existing rows are backfilled to the configured defaultLocale (or 'en' if i18n isn't configured) with translation_group = id. Monolingual sites see no functional change; multilingual sites continue rendering the same byline data at the default locale until editors create translations.

  Credit hydration: strict per-locale

  _emdash_content_bylines.byline_id now stores the byline's translation_group, not its row id. When an entry is rendered, credits are filtered by joining the junction against the byline sibling whose locale matches the entry's locale. If no sibling exists at the entry's locale, the credit hydrates as empty — there is no fallback to other locales' bios.

  Author-inferred bylines (where an entry has no explicit credits but its author is linked to a byline) still fall back per-locale and respect the strictness gate: an entry with explicit credits at any locale will not infer from the author even if the explicit credits don't resolve at the rendering locale.

  This is a deliberate behavior change for multilingual sites. The motivation is correctness: chain-walking credits across locales renders the wrong-language bio on translated entries.

  The "explicit credit suppresses author fallback" check reads primary_byline_id directly from the content row — set by setContentBylines iff junction rows exist, backfilled by migration 040 for pre-existing rows. No separate probe against _emdash_content_bylines is needed at hydration time; the column is folded into the single per-entry context fetch (author_id + primary_byline_id in one query). Both monolingual and multilingual sites get the same query count.

  Identity lookups: chain-walk

  getBylineBySlug(slug, { locale }) walks the configured fallback chain (resolveLocaleChain), like getMenu and getTerm. Author pages for un-translated bylines still render an identity rather than 404'ing. This is conceptually distinct from credit hydration and runs through requestCached for per-render dedupe.

  Admin

  • TranslationsPanel in the bylines editor lists every configured locale with Edit / Translate buttons. The Translate action POSTs to the new POST /_emdash/api/admin/bylines/:id/translations endpoint.
  • LocaleSwitcher on /bylines filters the list strictly to one locale. Cross-locale navigation via TranslationsPanel routes through /bylines?locale=….
  • The byline picker on the content editor is locale-pinned to the entry's locale. Editors only see bylines that will actually hydrate at the entry's locale.
  • The byline credit empty state on a locale with no bylines yet shows a CTA linking to /bylines?locale=… for inline creation.
  • Translating an entry (POST /content/:collection with translationOf) calls copyContentBylines to inherit the source's credits — these resolve at the new entry's locale via the strict-hydration model, so credits "follow" the content across translations once sibling bylines exist.

  API additions

  • GET /_emdash/api/admin/bylines/:id/translations — list every sibling row sharing a translation_group.
  • POST /_emdash/api/admin/bylines/:id/translations — create a sibling at a target locale. Body defaults (slug, displayName, websiteUrl, avatar) inherit from the source.
  • POST /_emdash/api/admin/bylines accepts translationOf + locale to create a sibling in one call.
  • GET /_emdash/api/admin/bylines?locale=… filters strictly.
  • BylineSummary gains locale: string and translationGroup: string | null (additive — existing consumers ignore the new fields).

  Permissions

  Two new entries on @emdash-cms/auth:

  • bylines:read — minimum SUBSCRIBER.
  • bylines:manage — minimum EDITOR.

  All byline routes (list, get, update, delete, translations) now check these instead of content:read / Role.EDITOR. Role thresholds are unchanged, so existing users see no permission differences. Custom RBAC configurations that bind to the old strings should add the new permission names.

  Repository

  • BylineRepository is strict per-locale: findMany, findBySlug, findById accept an optional locale and return rows matching that locale (or all locales when omitted, for the manager view).
  • New methods: listTranslations(id), findByTranslationGroup(group), copyContentBylines(collection, fromId, toId).
  • setContentBylines deduplicates by translation_group after resolving wire row ids, so passing two sibling row ids of the same identity collapses to one credit row.
  • delete is sibling-aware: removing one locale variant leaves siblings standing.

  Notable trade-offs

  • Strict hydration over chain-walking for credits. Chain-walking would render mismatched-language bios on translated content. The honest answer is to show nothing rather than the wrong thing; the picker tells editors which bylines will resolve at the entry's locale, and the empty-state CTA makes creating a sibling a one-click flow.
  • Schema is row-per-locale, not a separate byline_translations side-table. Matches the existing content / menu / taxonomy convention so query patterns and indexes are consistent across the codebase.

• #1176 fae97ee Thanks @ascorbic! - Code blocks in the rich text editor now have an inline language picker. Hover over any code block to reveal a chip in the corner; click it to enter a language (free-form input with curated suggestions for ~30 common languages including TypeScript, Python, Bash, Rust, Astro, SQL, and more). Aliases resolve automatically -- typing ts stores typescript, c++ stores cpp, etc. The existing markdown shortcut (typing ```html followed by a space or Enter) continues to pre-populate the language. The chosen language persists on the Portable Text language field and is emitted as a language-{id} class on the rendered <pre> so frontend syntax highlighters can pick it up. The visual (in-place) editor gets the same picker UI.

• #1114 9a30607 Thanks @ascorbic! - Plugins installed from the experimental registry can now be uninstalled and updated from the admin, the same way marketplace plugins always could. The "uninstall is not yet available for registry plugins" placeholder is gone — registry plugin rows now show the same Uninstall and Update buttons.

  The Plugins page's "updates available" indicator now covers registry plugins too. If the registry aggregator is unreachable, marketplace updates still load (and vice versa).

  Updates that need newly-declared permissions, or that newly expose a public (unauthenticated) route, prompt for re-consent before installing the new version — matching the gate that marketplace updates already have.

• #1125 d0ff94b Thanks @ascorbic! - Adds a version picker to the registry plugin detail page. Older releases of a registry-hosted plugin are now selectable from a dropdown next to the Install button, and the displayed version, indexed date, permissions, and source link swap to match the selected release. Pre-release versions (e.g. 1.0.0-alpha.1) are flagged with a "Pre-release" badge so admins can spot them before installing. Versions still inside the configured minimum-release-age holdback remain visible in the dropdown but stay non-installable until they age into the window.

Patch Changes

• #1177 b9cc08e Thanks @ascorbic! - Bumps @cloudflare/kumo from 1.16 to 2.3. Two internal call sites picked up breaking API changes from Kumo 2.0: Collapsible is now a compound component (Collapsible.Root / .DefaultTrigger / .DefaultPanel instead of <Collapsible label=...>), used by the accordion block; and ChartPalette.color() was renamed to ChartPalette.categorical() in the chart block. No public API changes -- consumers see identical behaviour. Tests in @emdash-cms/admin that asserted on Button's native title attribute now read aria-label instead, because Kumo 2 wraps <Button title> in a Tooltip popup rather than setting the DOM attribute.

• #1119 393dd26 Thanks @adentdk! - Fixes auto-save not detecting plugin block field changes. When editing an existing block's attributes via the Block Kit modal, the change now correctly triggers TipTap's onUpdate callback, propagating through to the auto-save dirty detection.
