-# 03 CMS and Editor
-
-## Two Related Systems
-
-NextBlock's content authoring experience is split across two real subsystems:
-
-- `libs/editor`: a reusable Tiptap-based rich text package
-- `apps/nextblock/lib/blocks`: the block registry and page-builder layer used
-  by pages, posts, and some commerce surfaces
-
-They work together, but they are not the same thing.
-
-## Block Registry and Page Builder
-
-The block registry lives in `apps/nextblock/lib/blocks/blockRegistry.ts`. It is
-the current source of truth for:
-
-- available block types
-- Zod schemas
-- default content
-- editor component filenames
-- renderer component filenames
-- human-facing labels and block metadata
-
-### Current registered block types
-
-The registry currently includes:
-
-- `text`
-- `heading`
-- `image`
-- `button`
-- `posts_grid`
-- `video_embed`
-- `section`
-- `form`
-- `testimonial`
-- `product_grid`
-- `featured_product`
-- `cart`
-- `checkout`
-- `product_details`
-
-The authoritative type list is `apps/nextblock/lib/blocks/blockTypes.ts`
-(`availableBlockTypes`).
-
-A `section` block can contain nested column block arrays, so the page builder
-supports multi-column compositions instead of only flat block lists. Legacy
-`hero` blocks were folded into `section` (carrying an `is_hero` flag) by
-migration `00000000000021_migrate_hero_blocks_to_sections.sql`, so `hero` is no
-longer a standalone registered block type.
-
-### How the CMS uses the registry
-
-The CMS block editor components under `app/cms/blocks` use the registry to:
-
-- validate block types
-- build new block payloads from default content
-- dynamically load editor components
-- dynamically load renderer components
-- render block labels and picker entries
-
-The registry also exposes helper functions such as:
-
-- `getBlockDefinition()`
-- `getInitialContent()`
-- `getBlockSchema()`
-- `validateBlockContent()`
-- `generateDefaultContent()`
-
-## Tiptap Editor Package
-
-The reusable editor surface lives in `libs/editor`.
-
-The main exports today are:
-
-- `Editor`
-- `NotionEditor`
-- `EditorToolbar`
-- `EditorBubbleMenu`
-- `EditorFloatingMenu`
-- `EnhancedFloatingMenu`
-- `SlashCommandList`
-- `DragHandle`
-- `HtmlContent`
-- `editorExtensions`
-
-### Core editing capabilities
-
-`libs/editor/src/lib/kit.ts` composes the editor from Tiptap extensions and
-custom nodes. The shipped editing surface includes:
-
-- StarterKit-based rich text
-- syntax-highlighted code blocks via `CodeBlockLowlight`
-- tables
-- task lists
-- link handling
-- text styling through `TextStyleKit`
-- highlight, subscript, superscript, and typography helpers
-- character counting
-- slash commands
-- drag handles and draggable node movement
-- image handling
-
-### Custom HTML-preserving extensions
-
-The editor intentionally preserves more HTML than a minimal rich text field.
-Current custom nodes/extensions include support for:
-
-- `div`
-- `style`
-- `script`
-- `svg`
-- `span`
-- a catch-all attribute preservation layer
-
-This matters because some CMS-authored content and seeded content store richer
-HTML fragments than plain paragraph markup.
-
-## Inline Widgets
-
-The editor currently ships two inline widget node types:
-
-- alert widget
-- call-to-action widget
-
-These appear in multiple places:
-
-- Tiptap commands and slash-command actions
-- editor node views in `libs/editor`
-- runtime React renderers in `apps/nextblock/components/blocks/renderers/inline`
-
-So the widgets are not just editor-only decorations; they have both editing and
-front-end rendering paths.
-
-## NotionEditor Integration Pattern
-
-`NotionEditor` is the higher-level client component used by the app. It wraps:
-
-- the extension kit
-- toolbars and menus
-- content synchronization through `onChange` and `onUpdate`
-- media picker bridging through editor storage
-- hydration-safe initialization with `immediatelyRender: false`
-- a scrollable editing shell and character counts
-
-The app currently mounts it in multiple places, including:
-
-- text block editing
-- product description editing
-
-## Media Picker Integration
-
-The editor integrates with a pluggable image picker bridge:
-
-- `setOpenImagePicker()` stores a picker callback on the editor instance
-- menus and extensions can open the media picker without knowing app details
-- the CMS supplies the actual picker UI
-
-This keeps the editor package reusable while still supporting CMS media
-selection.
-
-## Commerce-Aware Blocks
-
-The block layer is not content-only. The app also ships block types that render
-commerce primitives backed by `@nextblock-cms/ecommerce`, including:
-
-- product grid
-- featured product
-- cart
-- checkout
-- product details
-
-These bridge the CMS page builder to the premium commerce library without
-copying storefront logic into the app.
-
-## Custom Blocks (Data-Driven CRUD)
-
-Beyond the code-defined built-ins above, editors can create their own block
-types at runtime from the CMS, with no code deploy. These **custom block
-definitions** are stored as rows in `custom_block_definitions` (typed fields
-plus a recursive layout schema) and rendered on the public site by a dynamic
-layout engine instead of a compiled React renderer.
-
-The wiring is intentionally simple: a page/post block whose `block_type` equals
-a custom definition's `slug` is resolved through
-`getCachedCustomBlockDefinitionBySlug()` and rendered by
-`CachedDynamicLayoutEngine`. Authoring, CRUD, duplicate, and JSON
-import/export/backup all live under `app/cms/custom-blocks`.
-
-Full details, including the field types, the layout schema, caching, and the
-Cortex AI "build widget" path, are in
-[10-CUSTOM-BLOCKS.md](./10-CUSTOM-BLOCKS.md).
-
-## Relationship to the SDK
-
-The registry is the current in-app block system. The formal external authoring
-contract lives in `libs/sdk` and is documented in
-[07-BLOCK-SDK-AND-EXTENSIBILITY.md](./07-BLOCK-SDK-AND-EXTENSIBILITY.md).
-
-If you are changing how blocks work inside the CMS, start here. If you are
-designing a reusable third-party block contract, start with the SDK doc.
