Feature: Creating a new article from NewArticleModal As a verified RenewCMS owner I want NewArticleModal to take only a title, create the article as a draft over POST /v1/article/, and take me straight to the editor to write it So that starting a new article is a one-field, low-friction step and I land where I can actually write it Background: Given NewArticleModal is a UModal opened from Home's "New article" action (mobile header button, desktop header button, and the empty state's "New article" action), per docs/design/routes.md and docs/design/screens/new-article.md; the Articles-page trigger and the /article/new deep link are out of scope for this slice, deferred until ArticlesPage exists And every time it opens, it starts in the Default state: title "New article", text "It's saved as a draft. Titles can't be changed later, so check it now.", an empty, focused Title field with placeholder "e.g. Choosing tiles for a small bathroom", a CharacterCounter reading "0 / 200" and help "3 to 200 characters.", a "Cancel" button and a "Create draft" button; there is no body or First paragraph field And the Title field is sent as the request's title and is validated required, 3 to 200 characters, counted the same way as the CharacterCounter ([...str].length, which is rune count, matching article_title_rules.feature's server-side rune counting) And the request carries no body key; the server treats an absent body as "" per features/article_body_unlimited.feature And the Title field validates on blur and again on submit; submitting while it is invalid sends no request: a title under 3 characters shows "Use at least 3 characters." in place of its help text, with the counter in its error style And activating "Create draft" while the title is valid sends POST /v1/article/ with JSON {"title": ""}; while the request is in flight the Title field and both buttons are disabled, the confirm button reads "Creating…" with a loading indicator, and the modal cannot be dismissed by Cancel, Esc or a backdrop click And a 201 response closes the modal, emits created(article) with the response body, and (for this slice) HomeView.vue's created handler navigates to /article/{id}/edit and raises a toast: color success, icon i-lucide-circle-check, title "Draft created", description "\"{title}\" is saved as a draft.", with id "article-created-{id}" per docs/design/components.md's toast-id convention And a 400 response is never shown verbatim; it re-enables the form with the title kept, shows "Check this title and try again." in place of the Title field's help text, and shows an alert "Something in the form isn't valid. Check the highlighted fields." And a 500 response or a request that never reaches the server re-enables the form with the title kept and shows an alert "Couldn't create the article. Your text is still here. Try again in a moment.", with no field-level error And "Cancel" always closes the modal immediately and discards the title, with no confirmation prompt, whenever the form is not disabled by an in-flight request And a 401 response is handled entirely by useApi's existing global handling (features/api_client_global_error_handling.feature): the session is cleared and the app navigates to /login?redirect=<path>&reason=expired; this slice adds no draft-preservation behavior for the modal's field, unlike the editor's session-expiry handling Scenario: Opening the modal shows the Default state Given the user is on /home When the user activates "New article" Then NewArticleModal opens with title "New article" and the text "It's saved as a draft. Titles can't be changed later, so check it now." And the Title field is empty, focused, and its counter reads "0 / 200" And there is no First paragraph field And "Create draft" is present but the form has not been submitted Scenario: Validation — a title under 3 characters on blur Given the modal is open When the user types "Ti" into the Title field and moves focus away Then the Title field shows the error "Use at least 3 characters." in place of its help text And the counter reads "2 / 200" in its error style And no request is sent Scenario: Validation — submitting an invalid title sends nothing Given the modal is open with Title "Ti" When the user activates "Create draft" Then the Title field shows "Use at least 3 characters." And POST /v1/article/ is never sent Scenario: Submitting disables the form and cannot be dismissed Given the modal is open with Title "Choosing tiles for a small bathroom" When the user activates "Create draft" Then POST /v1/article/ is sent with JSON {"title": "Choosing tiles for a small bathroom"} And the Title field becomes disabled, "Cancel" becomes disabled, and the confirm button reads "Creating…" with a loading indicator And pressing Esc or clicking the backdrop does not close the modal Scenario: A successful create closes the modal and hands off to the editor with a toast Given the user is on /home with the modal open, Title "Choosing tiles for a small bathroom", and "Create draft" has been activated When POST /v1/article/ resolves 201 with the created article, id 42, is_online false Then the modal closes And the app navigates to /article/42/edit And a toast appears: color success, icon i-lucide-circle-check, title "Draft created", description "\"Choosing tiles for a small bathroom\" is saved as a draft.", id "article-created-42" Scenario: Title rejected — a 400 that got past this form's own check Given the modal is open with Title "Choosing tiles for a small bathroom" (already valid by this form's own rule), and "Create draft" has been activated When POST /v1/article/ resolves 400 Then the modal re-enables, keeping the title And the Title field shows "Check this title and try again." in place of its help text And an alert reads "Something in the form isn't valid. Check the highlighted fields." Scenario Outline: Error — a 500 or a network failure keeps the text and offers to retry Given the modal is open with Title "Choosing tiles for a small bathroom", and "Create draft" has been activated When POST /v1/article/ <failure> Then the modal re-enables, keeping the title And an alert reads "Couldn't create the article. Your text is still here. Try again in a moment." And the Title field shows no field-level error Examples: | failure | | resolves with a 500 response | | never reaches the server | Scenario: Retrying after an Error succeeds Given the modal is in the Error state after a 500, with Title "Choosing tiles for a small bathroom" still in the field When the user activates "Create draft" again Then POST /v1/article/ is sent again with the same JSON body When it resolves 201 with the created article, id 42 Then the modal closes, the app navigates to /article/42/edit, and a toast appears: color success, icon i-lucide-circle-check, title "Draft created", description "\"Choosing tiles for a small bathroom\" is saved as a draft.", id "article-created-42" Scenario: Cancel discards the title with no confirmation Given the modal is open with Title "Choosing tiles for a small bathroom" When the user activates "Cancel" Then the modal closes immediately, with no confirmation prompt And no request is sent
