feat(import): add Mermaid sequenceDiagram importer for typed sequence IR - #387
samiksha-shreya wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
Mermaid sequence diagrams are a common starting point, but there was no path from one into Archify's typed IR, so authors retyped the topology by hand and lost the source of truth. Adds `archify import sequence <input.mmd> [output.json] [--json]`, backed by a self-contained parser in archify/importers/sequence.mjs. No new runtime dependency: the package still ships dependency-free. Mapping is deliberately conservative. Solid arrows become `default`, dotted become `return`, and open/cross heads become `dashed`, following Mermaid's own line-style convention. `emphasis` and `security` are never emitted: they encode "main path" and "authorization step", judgements Mermaid does not express, and inferring them from label prose would invent facts the diagram does not contain. Participant kinds follow the same rule (`actor` -> external, `participant` -> backend, no name sniffing). Constructs the sequence schema cannot express (loop, alt/else, opt, par, critical, rect, box, directives) fail closed with a diagnostic naming the construct, line, and column rather than silently dropping content from a diagram someone is trying to trust. Importer input is treated as untrusted: labels stay literal text, ids are re-derived and de-collided, control characters and unpaired surrogates are rejected, and a test asserts a `<script>` payload in a Mermaid label never reaches the delivered artifact unescaped. Tests: 85 new, exercised through the CLI seam by validating every emitted IR with `archify validate sequence`. Suite 831 tests / 803 pass / 0 fail / 28 skipped (the 28 are the ARCHIFY_CHROME browser tests: skipped, not passed). archify.zip rebuilt under Node 22 for the new packaged files.

Write the output artifact atomically.
fs.writeFileSync(outputPath, irJson) writes directly to the final path. A write failure can leave partial JSON at outputPath, violating the documented all-or-nothing contract. The thrown error bypasses reportImportFailure() and reaches the uncaught top-level path.
Write to a temporary file in the output directory, rename it after success, and remove it on failure.

Front matter titles skip the text-safety check.
The statement-level title branch (lines 428-441) runs checkSafeText, but this branch does not. A control character or a lone surrogate in a front matter title: value survives normalizeText, which only rewrites tabs and repeated spaces. It then reaches meta.title in the emitted IR. That contradicts the file contract at lines 10-13: text that cannot be represented safely is rejected, not carried through.
🔒 Proposed fix
const titleMatch = entry.match(/^title\s*:\s*(.*)$/);
if (titleMatch) {
- title = normalizeText(unquote(titleMatch[1]));
+ const candidate = normalizeText(unquote(titleMatch[1]));
+ const unsafeTitle = checkSafeText(candidate, {
+ code: 'import/sequence-unsafe-label',
+ role: 'Diagram title',
+ line: cursor + 1,
+ column: 1,
+ fix: 'remove the control character from the front matter title',
+ });
+ if (unsafeTitle) return failure(unsafeTitle);
+ title = candidate;
continue;
}Add a fixture that puts a control character in a front matter title to lock this in.
As per path instructions: "reject unsupported or malformed constructs rather than silently dropping content".

Sanitize participant names before building diagnostics.
Participant names bypass checkSafeText, so control characters and lone surrogates can reach supportedFixes and subject.participant. Apply quoteEvidence consistently to diagnostic text and subject fields, or validate every parsed name, including undeclared references.

The documented subset has value and follows the existing issue scope. Focused tests at aad8c79e1c92a9eec9e40c70fca92e4f648a40d3 passed: 85 passed, zero skipped. I independently reproduced two CLI failures that block merging.
P1 — importing onto the input destroys the Mermaid source. With a valid sequence fixture, archify import sequence input.mmd input.mmd --json exits 0 with ok: true and replaces the source with JSON. The same happens when output.json is a symlink to input.mmd. These were actual separate CLI processes against this head, not a source-only inference.
P2 — output errors break the machine-readable failure contract. With an existing directory named output.json, the same command exits 1 with an uncaught EISDIR stack and empty stdout, so a caller requesting --json has no receipt.
Please integrate through one shared import-output path with #140: use the existing output-path resolver for extension/alias checks and an atomic candidate/rename commit with commit-time recheck and cleanup. Do not copy the direct writeFileSync implementation into a second command. Regression coverage should preserve source bytes for same-file/symlink/hardlink aliases, preserve a previous valid output on failed import/write, and assert structured diagnostics for a directory/unwritable target and commit-time failure.
Then update onto current dev, retain a single import format registry and canonical per-format references, and rerun import → validate → deliver on representative supported inputs. Because the importer chooses geometry, an unchanged renderer alone does not establish that the resulting diagrams are usable: inspect representative delivered artifacts and record the viewport/theme. Regenerate the package from the combined source and obtain green final-head CI. These are integration/evidence requirements in addition to the two reproduced defects; no full final-head browser acceptance is claimed here.
