Replaces the previous 'Visibility enum' approach (commit 33ecfa7e,
reverted in 42625f5d) with the existing BlogSpotPublication
mechanism. Paul pointed out that the system already had a
publication table and a Publish field on BlogPostEditViewModel;
we just didn't expose it through the API.

The toggle is its own action on the API surface — a dedicated
endpoint rather than a field on the existing BlogPost wire
DTO. This keeps the BlogPostDto contract unchanged and avoids
shoe-horning 'Publish' into the entity model alongside
Title/Article (where the existing BlogSpotService.Modify
already takes two overloads and a third felt like drift).

Server (Yavsc.Blogs / Yavsc.Server)

  • PUT /api/BlogApi/{id}/publish body { publish: bool }
    Returns 204 on success, 404 when the post doesn't exist,
    Challenge() (401) when the caller is not the author
    (EditPermission gate). Idempotent: PUT because the
    resulting state matches the body, not the request.
  • BlogSpotService.SetPublishAsync(user, postId, publish)
    factored out of the existing
    Modify(BlogPostEditViewModel) inline toggle, so the new
    endpoint reuses the same BlogSpotPublication row logic
    (add row if missing on publish=true, remove row if
    present on publish=false).
  • BlogPost.IsPublished (NotMapped) is now hydrated by the
    service after each Index/Details fetch — a single bulk
    lookup, not N+1 — and surfaces through the wire JSON
    so PostIt can show the current state without a follow-up
    request.
  • ApplicationUser nav properties (Posts, Book,
    DeviceDeclaration, Connections, Circles, BlackList,
    Rooms, RoomAccess, Membership, BlogComments) now carry
    BOTH [JsonIgnore] (Newtonsoft) and
    [System.Text.Json.Serialization.JsonIgnore] so the
    Yavsc.Blogs test fixture (System.Text.Json) stops
    exploding on object cycles when serialising
    BlogPost.Author.Posts.Author.Posts. Production
    (Yavsc.Org, NewtonsoftJson) was already safe via the
    Newtonsoft-only attribute; this commit just makes the
    Yavsc.Blogs side consistent.

Client (Yavsc.Api.Client)

  • BlogApiClient.SetPublishAsync(id, publish) → PUT to the
    new endpoint.

DTO wire (Yavsc.Abstract.Blogspot.BlogPost)

  • BlogPostDto.IsPublished added. Same shape as the entity
    field; serialised as a plain bool in JSON.

UI (PostIt)

  • MainPageViewModel.DraftIsPublished (ObservableProperty)
    mirrors the existing DraftTitle/DraftArticle pattern;
    hydrated from SelectedPost.IsPublished on selection
    change. TogglePublish command pushes the new state to
    SetPublishAsync and updates both the buffer and the
    selected post locally so the UI reflects the change
    without a full Refresh.
  • MainPage.axaml: a CheckBox 'Publié' in the toolbar,
    bound to DraftIsPublished TwoWay and wired to
    TogglePublishCommand. The toggle is its own action
    (not part of Save), matching the wire contract.

Tests (Yavsc.Blogs.Tests)

  • PublishEndpointTests (4 [Fact]):
    • PUT publish=true returns 204 and IsPublished is true
      in the next GET
    • PUT publish=false clears IsPublished
    • PUT on an unknown post returns 404
    • PUT by a non-author does not return 204 (Challenge)
  • BlogsWebServerFixture now wires
    app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage() so 500s in tests
    surface a real stack trace instead of an empty
    InternalServerError body — much easier to diagnose
    future regressions.

Test totals: 24/24 Yavsc.Blogs.Tests (was 20, +4
PublishEndpoint), 51/51 PostIt.Tests (no change), 44/44
Yavsc.Org.Tests (no change).

Out of scope (tracked in MEMORY.md, 2026-08-18):

  • i18n: only the new 'Publié' label is localised; the
    rest of MainPage.axaml is still hard-coded French.
  • BlogPostEditViewModel.Publish ↔ IsPublished reconciliation
    in the admin web Yavsc (the Org UI already edits Publish
    inline; no work needed there).
