defect

major
#29383
A dead SOCKET_APPENDER (Chainsaw, localhost:4445) in the default logging configuration can cause logging to stall and operations to abort under heavy load
#29384
The TL-Script functions `resetSequence` and `generateSequenceId` generate a different sequence ID than `SequenceDefaultProvider` (in terms of suffix and context order), so they cannot reset a provider-managed sequence with a dynamic context

#29381
Double-clicking in a graphic component does not work reliably
#29390
Subtree selection ends too early if the lowest level is not included in the level filter
#29393

#29401
Images in an image drop zone cannot be copied or saved using the browser's context menu
#29402
Tree selection is lost when the view is refreshed (invalidated)

Add com.top_logic.layout.react module for React/SSE integration

ReactUI

React Integration Module

New module com.top_logic.layout.react that enables React-based UI controls in TopLogic with server-to-client state updates delivered via Server-Sent Events (SSE).

This enables incremental migration from server-rendered HTML controls to client-rendered React controls, while both types coexist and update together within the same page.

Components

Wire Protocol (msgbuf)

sse.proto defines the SSE event hierarchy using msgbuf:

  • StateEvent / PatchEvent - full state replacement and incremental patches for React controls
  • ContentReplacement / ElementReplacement / RangeReplacement / FragmentInsertion - DOM mutations for non-React controls
  • PropertyUpdate / CssClassUpdate - attribute and class updates
  • JSSnipplet / FunctionCall - JavaScript execution
Server-Side Java
  • ReactControl - mounts a React component via TLReact.mount(), delivers state via SSE
  • ReactFormFieldControl - form field variant with ValueChanged command handling
  • SSEUpdateQueue - per-session event queue with AsyncContext connections
  • ClientActionConverter - converts existing ClientAction objects to SSE protocol events, enabling non-React controls to participate in SSE delivery
  • ReactComponentRegistry - ConfiguredManagedClass mapping TopLogic model types to React component modules
  • SSEServlet - /react-api/events endpoint establishing SSE connections
  • ReactServlet - /react-api/command and /react-api/state endpoints for client-to-server communication
TypeScript/React Client

Bridge library(tl-react-bridge.js) built with Vite/React:

  • Component registry with register() / getComponent()
  • SSE client with automatic reconnect and DOM action processing
  • React hooks: useTLState(), useTLCommand(), useTLFieldValue()
  • MutationObserver-based auto-unmount
  • 6 built-in controls: TLTextInput, TLNumberInput, TLDatePicker, TLSelect, TLCheckbox, TLTable
tl-core Modifications

Added public accessors to ClientAction subclasses to enable the converter:

  • DOMModification.getFragment()
  • RangeReplacement.getStopID()
  • JSSnipplet.getCode() and JSSnipplet.getCodeFragment()

Open TODOs

  • ReactServlet.handleCommand(): full control resolution via FrameScope / subsession locking
  • ReactFormFieldControl: incremental SSE patches instead of full repaint on field changes
