Sync Upstream Feature
Overview
Port features stripped during Shiroi-to-Shiro sync back into the open-source repo. The closed-source Shiroi repo lives at /Users/innei/git/innei-repo/Shiroi, the open-source Shiro at /Users/innei/git/innei-repo/Shiro.
Repo Layout
| Repo | Path | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Shiro | /Users/innei/git/innei-repo/Shiro | Open-source, primary working dir |
| Shiroi | /Users/innei/git/innei-repo/Shiroi | Closed-source upstream, read-only reference |
Both share the same monorepo structure (apps/web/src/...). Shiroi is the superset.

}
1. Explore Both Repos
Use parallel Explore agents to search the target feature keyword in both repos. Identify:
- Which files exist in Shiroi but not Shiro
- Which files exist in both but differ
- Which dependencies Shiroi has that Shiro lacks
2. Diff: Identify the Gap
Compare key files side-by-side. Focus on:
- Component files: Shiroi may have extra renderers, wrappers, or providers
- Routing files (
*Content.tsx): Shiroi branches on a discriminator (e.g.contentFormat), Shiro always takes one path - Lazy-load entries (
*Markdown.tsx): Used in preview/peek contexts, often overlooked - API query definitions (
queries/definition/*.ts): Shiroi may pass extra params (e.g.prefer: 'lexical') - Server-side API files (
api.ts): DirectapiClientcalls may also need params
3. Map All Touchpoints
A feature typically spans these layers (check ALL):
| Layer | Files | What to sync |
|---|---|---|
| Dependencies | package.json, pnpm-lock.yaml | New npm packages |
| Core components | components/ui/... | Rendering logic |
| Route renderers | *LexicalRenderer.tsx, etc. | Per-route wrappers |
| Content branching | *Content.tsx | contentFormat discriminator |
| Lazy-load entries | *Markdown.tsx | Dynamic import + branching for preview/peek |
| API queries | queries/definition/*.ts | Query params like prefer |
| Server API | app/[locale]/.../api.ts | Direct apiClient calls |
| Conditional styles | page.tsx, layout.tsx | prose class gating |
| TOC / headings | TocHeadingStrategy.tsx | Already wired, verify |
4. Add Dependencies
Read Shiroi's package.json, extract only the packages needed for rendering (not editing/dashboard). Add to Shiro's package.json alphabetically, then pnpm install.
5. Port Core Components
Copy from Shiroi, adapting for Shiro:
- Remove Shiroi-exclusive wrappers (e.g.
LexicalCommentWrapperis sponsorship-only) - Check that all
~/imports resolve in Shiro (modal types, hooks, constants) - Fix any API mismatches (e.g.
contentClassNameprop may not exist in Shiro's modal types)
6. Wire Into Routing
Three integration points per content type (note/post/page):
*Content.tsx (server component entry):
if (contentFormat === 'lexical') return <XxxLexicalRenderer />
return <XxxMarkdownRenderer />
*Markdown.tsx (lazy-load entry for preview/peek):
const XxxLexicalRenderer = dynamic(() => import('./XxxLexicalRenderer').then(m => m.XxxLexicalRenderer))
// ... branch on contentFormat from data selector
page.tsx / layout.tsx (conditional prose):
className={clsx(data.contentFormat !== 'lexical' && 'prose')}
7. Sync API Query Params
Compare queries/definition/*.ts and app/.../api.ts between repos. Add missing params (e.g. prefer: 'lexical').
8. Lint and Verify
- Lint only modified files:
pnpm exec eslint --fix <files> - Typecheck:
pnpm exec tsc --noEmit— ignore pre-existing errors, verify new files don't appear in output
Common Mistakes
| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
Only update *Content.tsx, forget *Markdown.tsx | Markdown.tsx is the lazy entry for preview/peek — always update both |
Forget API prefer param | Backend won't return rich content without it |
| Copy Shiroi-only wrappers verbatim | Strip sponsorship features (comment anchoring, AI, etc.) |
Leave prose class unconditional | Rich content has its own typography — gate with contentFormat |
| Add editing dependencies when only rendering needed | Only port what's required for the read path |
