Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The container-block API currently leaves unresolved paths that can throw during server-side conversion, lose content during container slicing or export, accept invalid moves, or disrupt side-menu behavior. These are concrete correctness and availability risks affecting document integrity and integrations, so the PR should not merge until the issues are fixed or explicitly accepted by the owners.

In `@packages/core/src/api/blockManipulation/commands/mergeBlocks/mergeBlocks.ts`:
- Around line 226-246: The merge path in mergeIntoContainerContent must repair
the parent container when its first child is deleted and no non-empty child
remains. Capture the parent before tr.delete, then apply its whenEmptied repair
via fixContainersById in the same transaction before dispatching, while
preserving the existing insertion, deletion, selection, and dispatch behavior.
In `@packages/core/src/api/blockManipulation/commands/moveBlocks/moveBlocks.ts`:
- Around line 211-229: Update checkPlacementIsValid and its callers to validate
insertion using the first node type produced by flattenNonInsertableBlocks
rather than always editor.pmSchema.nodes["blockContainer"]. Ensure blocks-only
destinations reject flattened types such as callout before insertBlocks runs,
and add a regression test covering this placement validation.
In `@packages/core/src/api/exporters/html/util/serializeBlocksInternalHTML.ts`:
- Around line 221-231: Update fillContainerAttributes calls in
serializeBlocksInternalHTML.ts#L221-L231 and
serializeBlocksExternalHTML.ts#L275-L289 to pass containerRootDOM(ret) instead
of casting ret.dom to HTMLElement, ensuring both serializers support container
renders that return DocumentFragment.
In `@packages/core/src/api/nodeConversions/blockToNode.ts`:
- Around line 487-507: Update the empty-container branch in the block creation
function around seedDefaultChildren and unwrapsWhenEmptied so a whenEmptied:
"unwrap" node with no default children satisfies its schema before node.check()
runs. Create it with valid seeded children or perform the unwrap repair before
validation, while preserving existing behavior for containers that already have
defaults.
In `@packages/core/src/api/nodeConversions/fragmentToBlocks.ts`:
- Around line 18-28: Update getContainerChildren to validate a content
container’s lastChild before returning it as the children holder, matching the
isContainerNode(lastChild.type) guard used by getChildrenHolder; return
undefined when the last child is the inline __content node rather than a block
container, while preserving the existing behavior for valid block children and
regular containers.
In `@packages/core/src/api/nodeConversions/nodeToBlock.ts`:
- Around line 600-638: Update the container handling in the node-to-block
conversion flow around childrenHolder and processNode so a content-bearing
container opened at the start preserves its selected __content while also
including the traversed child blocks. Ensure the outer block content is retained
when the slice starts inside __content and continues through __children, and add
regression coverage for this scenario.
In `@packages/core/src/editor/BlockNoteEditor.ts`:
- Around line 563-569: Update the release migration or upgrade notes to document
that BlockNoteEditor construction now throws when initialContent fails
validation, including cases such as containers below children.min; mention that
previously tolerated invalid structures may no longer load.
In `@packages/core/src/extensions/SideMenu/SideMenu.ts`:
- Around line 297-310: Guard the element lookup in updateStateFromMousePos so an
empty container does not dereference null: use the container’s blockOuter
element or firstElementChild when available, otherwise fall back to the editor
anchor used by the existing else branch (this.pmView.dom.firstChild). Remove the
non-null assertion while preserving the current x-coordinate behavior.

- Around line 727-735: Update both Delete move branches in
KeyboardShortcutsExtension.ts at lines 727-735 and 809-817: capture
blockInfo.bnBlock.afterPos before deletion, map it through the delete and
fixContainersById steps, and set the selection inside the moved block using the
mapped position instead of firstLeaf.beforePos or target.beforePos.
- Around line 248-259: Update the dispatch branch in KeyboardShortcutsExtension
to capture the affected ancestor container IDs before deleting
blockInfo.bnBlock, then call fixContainersById after the move using those IDs.
Preserve the existing delete, insert, selection, and return behavior while
ensuring the source container receives its minimum-child and whenEmptied
repairs.
- Around line 415-423: In the guard handling bottomNestedPrevBlockInfo, remove
the unreachable duplicated check after the existing isWrappedBlock return,
unless the intended logic is a distinct boundary condition; if so, replace it
with that specific check rather than repeating the same predicate.
In `@packages/core/src/schema/blocks/containerAttributes.ts`:
- Around line 10-21: Update the attribute construction in the container
attribute function so prop serialization cannot overwrite the reserved
data-node-type or data-id markers; emit these markers after the blockProps loop,
preserving the existing omission rules and marker values.
In `@packages/core/src/schema/schema.ts`:
- Around line 98-116: Update the schema extension flow around
validateChildrenConfigs and validateContainerRunsBefore to support staged,
chainable extend() calls for related container blocks. Defer or relax validation
of incomplete intermediate configurations so adding a placement "containerOnly"
child before its parent does not throw, while still validating the final
assembled schema and preserving errors for genuinely invalid configurations.
In `@packages/xl-ai/src/prosemirror/agent.test.ts`:
- Line 42: Regenerate the `@blocknote/core` declaration for getBlockInfoFromPos so
BlockInfo exposes isWrappedBlock instead of the stale isBlockContainer property.
This root-cause declaration update must support the guards in
packages/xl-ai/src/prosemirror/agent.test.ts lines 42-42,
packages/xl-ai/src/api/formats/html-blocks/collabUpdate.test.ts lines 83-85, and

instead of duplicating "columnList" and "column".
In `@packages/core/src/extensions/SideMenu/sideMenuContainerGeometry.ts`:
- Around line 61-89: Introduce a per-pointer-lookup memo of direct-child
bounding rects and thread it through hasHorizontalContainerAncestor,
isHorizontalContainer, and the related SideMenu hit-testing flow. Reuse cached
rects for each container across ancestor checks, offset recursion, and
getContainerChildAtCursor instead of repeatedly querying children and calling
getBoundingClientRect; keep the existing hit-test behavior unchanged.
In `@packages/core/src/schema/blocks/createSpec.ts`:
- Around line 288-340: Extract the duplicated Node.create configuration from
buildContainerNode and buildContentContainerNode into a shared factory accepting
the node name, content expression, and groups. Preserve the existing shared
behavior for marks, selectable, isolating, defining, priority, attributes,
parsing, rendering, and node views, while leaving each caller responsible only
for its differing content and group values.
In `@packages/react/src/schema/ReactBlockSpec.container.browser.test.tsx`:
- Around line 88-112: Destroy the local editors created by the first two tests
in their respective cleanup paths: avoid shadowing the module-scope editor used
by afterEach, and explicitly destroy the headless editor created near the start
of the suite. Ensure both editors are destroyed after each test so their plugins
and listeners do not leak.
In `@packages/react/vitestSetup.ts`:
- Around line 3-18: Update the __TEST_OPTIONS setup in beforeEach and afterEach
to use the same host resolution as the core vitest setup: use window when
available and globalThis in the node environment, rather than returning when
window is absent. Preserve resetting the option before each test and cleaning it
up afterward.
In `@tests/src/unit/react/useNodeViewBlock.test.tsx`:
- Around line 185-188: Update the test case around “rejects container blocks
loudly instead of resolving the wrong block” to locate the box container by its
block type rather than the positional editor.document[3] index, while preserving
the existing getNodeById and makeProps setup.

Validate placement against the flattened insertion type.
flattenNonInsertableBlocks preserves placeable containers such as callout. A blocks-only destination accepts blockContainer but rejects callout, so validation can pass before insertBlocks throws. Pass the first flattened node type to checkPlacementIsValid and add a regression test.

Regenerate the @blocknote/core declarations. The source BlockInfo type uses isWrappedBlock, but packages/core/types/src/api/getBlockInfoFromPos.d.ts still exposes isBlockContainer. The three xl-ai tests import getBlockInfo from @blocknote/core, so these guards fail type-checking until the declarations are regenerated.

- fragmentToBlocks / prosemirrorSliceToSlicedBlocks: handle a container node whose generated __content or __children node was removed by a slice boundary, fixing crashes when copying or dragging a partial selection inside a content-bearing container (toggle) - getParentBlock: climb past a container's generated __children node, fixing getParentBlock and moveBlocksUp/Down for blocks nested in content-bearing containers - add regression tests covering the above Also tidies the container schema code: extract a shared createContainerOwnNode helper used by both container-node builders, simplify ReactCustomBlockRenderProps, and drop the unused getContainerAttributes export.
- blockToNode: fill an empty `whenEmptied: "unwrap"` container so it passes the pre-repair `node.check()` instead of throwing - moveBlocks: validate placement against the moved block's real node type, so moving a container block past a blocks-only container no longer throws - splitBlock: refuse content-bearing containers (Enter mid-title no longer crashes `tr.split`; the Enter chain aborts to a no-op) - KeyboardShortcuts: extract `moveBlockOutAndPlaceCaret`, collapsing four Backspace/Delete/Enter container-boundary branches and mapping the caret through the delete + repair so it lands in the moved block - mergeBlocks: repair the parent container after merging a child into its title (unwrap/refill), mapping the caret through the repair - serializers: pass `containerRootDOM(ret)` and guard `fillContainerAttributes` so fragment/rootDOM container renders don't crash - containerAttributes: emit reserved `data-node-type`/`data-id` markers after the prop loop so a colliding prop can't overwrite them - odt exporter: only legacy columns reset nesting to 0; schema-defined containers preserve their nesting level like the other exporters - nodeToBlock: import `isContainerNode` from the schema layer Adds regression tests and tidies a few container test helpers.
Behavior-preserving extractions that collapse duplicated container-block code introduced by this feature branch: - Add shared `getContainerChildrenHolder` in `children.ts`, replacing the two byte-identical mirror functions `getChildrenHolder` (nodeToBlock) and `getContainerChildren` (fragmentToBlocks). - Add `selectSealedSiblingCommand(direction)` in KeyboardShortcuts, collapsing the near-identical Backspace-prev / Delete-next sealed-sibling selection branches into one parameterized command. - Extract a local `descend()` closure in `getInsertionPos`, folding the two `placement === "start"` first/last descent ternaries. Net -58 lines. Lint clean; core unit + container browser suites green.
A container render returning a DocumentFragment without rootDOM used to skip the round-trip attributes (data-node-type, prop data-*) entirely, so its serialized HTML could not parse back. containerRootDOM now resolves such a fragment to its single wrapped element, and the external serializer uses the resolved root for the bn-block-content check and nesting-level attribute instead of crashing on the fragment's missing classList. Also asserts the exact block order in the moveBlocksUp placement test and adds internal & external HTML round-trip coverage for fragment-rendered containers.

Use a realm-independent DocumentFragment check.
Line 371 reads a global DocumentFragment constructor. Server-side export does not define that global. The check throws before it can inspect output.dom, so ServerBlockNoteEditor.blocksToHTMLLossy and Markdown conversion fail.
Use a node-type check instead.

Did a first pass, still need to process some of it (it's a biggie!).
Overall looks pretty neat. My main concern is that it changes / adds quite a bunch of code to core areas of the library, and wondering whether we can simplify things.
Two options I see;
a) Remove the possibility for a rich content slot. This is a big part of what makes this PR significantly more complex than multi-columns
b) See if we can consolidate the default blocks / blockcontainers into the new setup. (also see comment by Claude below)
My other main point of feedback is that I think we should closely review testing coverage. E.g.:
- containers should probably be covered in
tests/src/unit/subtests - some of the
blockManipulationcode has changed significantly, but the corresponding tests have not been updated to tests the new functionality

Is it desirable to descend like this? Or would it be prefered to throw an error?
The way I understand it, this would allow inserting a regular block into a ColumnList block (by inserting it into the last column). Isn't it cleaner + clearer / less code to just throw an error in that case?

I'm not sure about the naming / location of this file. e.g.: there's no contentContainers.ts source file
If it's a unit test, it should be in a corresponding blockToNode / nodeToBlock test. If it's more of an integration test, it should be /tests directory?
(maybe we also need a clearer policy around this / update the .skill file)

Verdict: The architecture is solid and the legacy column port is careful — renames are complete repo-wide, the __content/__children facade is tight and well-tested, exporters and keyboard handlers were genuinely generalized, and legacy shims are correctly marked. But the review found 21 confirmed correctness bugs, concentrated in two systematic gaps: the sealed-boundary contract is enforced per-call-site and four gesture paths forgot it, and content-bearing containers are second-class wherever code uses isContainerNode (pure-only) instead of isContainerBlockNode. Every finding below survived an adversarial verification pass; most were reproduced with actual editor tests. (12 finder agents → 72 candidates → deduped and verified; 3 candidates were refuted and dropped.)
High severity
1. The sealed boundary leaks through four gesture paths — all reproduced end-to-end through the real keymap:
- mergeBlocks.ts:290:
mergeBlocksCommandcallsgetBottomNestedBlockInfowithout{ stopAtSealed: true }, so Backspace at the start of a block merges its text into a block inside a sealed container nested under the previous sibling — violating that helper's own doc comment. - moveBlocks.ts:212 (
checkPlacementIsValid, plusgetMoveUpPlacement/getMoveDownPlacementat 253/307): Shift-Mod-ArrowUp/Down move blocks into a sealed container, and a sealed container's last child out — noisSealedconsultation anywhere in the path. - KeyboardShortcutsExtension.ts:589: Delete at the end of a block whose first nested child is a content-bearing sealed container dissolves it (title merged, children lifted) — the branch checks
isWrappedBlockbut neverisSealed, and runs beforeselectSealedSiblingCommand. - KeyboardShortcutsExtension.ts:842: the Delete parent-climb branch deletes a sealed content-bearing container wholesale — the climb guards
isSealedon ancestors climbed out of, but never on the found next block itself.
In all four, pure sealed containers are only incidentally protected by !isWrappedBlock. Root cause (flagged independently by the design audit): seal-respecting is opt-in per call site with the unsafe behavior as default (containerNav.ts:12-17) — consider inverting the default so navigation helpers respect seals unless an API entry point explicitly opts out.
2. allow: "containers" schemas pass validation, then overflow the stack at editor creation — validateChildren.ts:379: validateNoCycles skips wildcard containers === true configs, but allowTerm compiles them to the self-including anyContainer group, so assertContainersAreFillable's fillBefore recurses forever. Verified empirically twice (independent repro scripts): mutual wildcards always crash, and even the supported {tabs: containers, card: any} crashes depending on registration order. This is exactly the failure the validator's header promises to catch statically.
3. doc.check() on initialContent breaks the PR's own compatibility promise — BlockNoteEditor.ts:568: legacy persisted documents (canonical case: a single-column columnList, which old column bugs produced and fixColumnList repaired lazily) now throw in the constructor before any repair path can run. The PR body's compat section says invalid legacy structures throw "on insert" and otherwise keep working — this check silently moves that throw to initial load, bricking previously-loadable documents. Either run the repair pass pre-check or scope the check to freshly-authored content.
4. Enter in a container title silently destroys text — KeyboardShortcutsExtension.ts:1121: the handler hardcodes the new first child as blockContainer>paragraph. For a container whose children.allow excludes regular blocks (a combination validateChildren permits), reproduction showed no error: the fitter drops the unfittable child and the tr.delete has already removed the title tail — the keystroke deletes "lo" from "Hello" with nothing inserted anywhere. Derive the child from the children node's contentMatch/children.default instead.
5. Converting to/from a container resets the block's props — updateBlock.ts:183: the full-replace arm spreads only {content, children, ...block}, so updateBlock("p-0", {type: "toggle"}) on a red-background paragraph yields default props and a regenerated id (reproduced; the heading control keeps both). The id half is codified in contentContainers.test.ts:186; the props drop is codified nowhere. The arm predates the PR, but the PR routes the mainstream "turn into toggle/callout" flow through it — the blast radius grew from column edge cases to a headline feature.
6. Insertion validation misses ProseMirror's tail re-match — insertBlocks.ts:64 and containerNav.ts:61: contentMatchAt(i).matchType(type) alone (no matchFragment + validEnd, i.e. not canReplaceWith). Reproduced: insertBlocks(..., "before"|"start") into a full max: 1 container throws raw Invalid content instead of the friendly error, and moveBlocksDown next to one crashes mid-command (transaction aborts, so no corruption). The end-side checks are fine; insertPlacement.test.ts only covers "end", which is why this was untested.
7. Content-bearing containers are skipped by the isContainerNode family — the recurring near-miss between isContainerNode (pure only) and isContainerBlockNode (both shapes):
- containerNav.ts:33/65: insertion descent refuses to enter a content-bearing child container —
insertBlocks(..., "end")throws "does not accept it as a child" where the pure-container analog descends (codified in insertPlacement.test.ts:131). - containerNav.ts:89-97:
getFirstLeafBlocktreats one as a leaf, so Delete pulls the whole subtree out where a nested pure container yields its deepest leaf (behavioral asymmetry, not data loss). - BlockPopover.tsx:36: the zero-rect anchoring fix guards on
isContainerNode, so content-bearing React containers still anchor to thedisplay: contentscontentDOM → popover/drag-handle at (0,0) — the exact bug the branch fixes for pure containers. NoteisContainerBlockNodetakes aNodeand currently only exports via@blocknote/core/internal. - fixContainer.ts:24-38:
isEmptyContainerChildnever counts an empty content-bearing container as empty (conservative direction, but it makeswhenEmptiedunable to fire for containers of content-bearing children — and enables the next finding).
8. unwrapContainer corrupts content-bearing survivors — fixContainer.ts:215: stripping "one node level" from a containerOnly survivor exposes its raw __content/__children pair, invalid in blockGroup. Reproduced: single survivor → raw Invalid content for node blockGroup aborting the whole removeBlocks; the multi-survivor branch instead silently drops the title via the fitter.
9. A selection starting mid-title loses the title text with no marker — nodeToBlock.ts:598: prosemirrorSliceToSlicedBlocks's open-boundary recursion assumes the cut runs through __children; when it runs through __content, the partial title vanishes and blockCutAtStart is never set (reproduced; regular blocks keep partial content + marker). The end-open splice behavior is test-codified as intended — this start-open variant is the uncodified gap. Affects getSelectionCutBlocks consumers (xl-ai selection context).
10. children.default with explicit ids stamps duplicate ids — blockToNode.ts:419: seeding/refill converts defaults via blockToNode, which honors id; reproduced two containers sharing a child id (UniqueID's dedupe only acts within one transaction's changed ranges). Either strip ids from defaults or reject them in validateDefault.
Medium severity
- Backspace-into-container skips source repair — KeyboardShortcutsExtension.ts:281-292: raw
tr.delete/tr.insertwithoutfixContainersById, so the source container gets PM schema-padding instead of its configured refill/unwrap (reproduced; observable whenmin ≥ 2). The parallel branches usemoveBlockOutAndPlaceCaretfor exactly this. - docx exporter breaks on array-returning container mappings — docxExporter.ts:143:
ret.push(self as Table)skips theArray.isArrayspread applied to every other block; the mapping type explicitly permitsParagraph[], and the branch now runs for every custom container. - Side-menu anchor over-matches — SideMenu.ts:305:
querySelector('[data-node-type="blockOuter"]')is depth-first over all descendants, so a container whose first child is a container anchors to a deeply-nested block. Scope to direct children (:scope > …or the PR's owngetDirectChildBlocks). - Tab/Shift+Tab across columns became a no-op — nestBlock.ts:22: the widened
childContainerpredicate resolves the block range at the columnList, so sink/lift preconditions never hold wheremainnested/lifted the whole columnList. Reachability caveat: default-toolbar setups swallow Tab for multi-block selections; bitestabBehavior: "prefer-indent", toolbar-less, and programmatic callers. - Pre-existing (not a PR regression), surfaced while verifying: replaceBlocks.ts:81: when
blocksToRemovearen't in document order, the staletr.insert(pos, …)plus adjusted delete silently destroys the inserted block (reproduced:replaceBlocks(['p-2','p-0'], [NEW])→ doc ends up[p-1]). Same code exists onmain. Also pre-existing: multi-block pastes into container titles mangle the container (independent of this PR's retype change, which verification cleared).
Minor
- validateChildren.ts:130:
whenEmptiedandplacementstring values are never validated (unlikeallow/boundary), so"unwarp"silently means"refill"(reproduced).
Quality (fact-checked, all 18 held)
Duplication / single-owner gaps: the data-children-of/data-content-type/bn-inline-content literals are written independently in 3 files across 2 packages with no shared constant; the "container type incl. legacy columns" predicate is spelled 3× (containerUI.ts:46, Exporter.ts:91, extensions.ts:66); the orphaned-content-becomes-paragraph policy 3× (each hidden behind a cast); ReactBlockSpec's container static-render block is pasted twice (already diverging on isFileBlock); unwrapContainer/refillContainer share a duplicated below-min preamble; getFirstLeafBlock/descendToFirstInsertionPos duplicate the descent walk with asymmetric seal opts; the Backspace seal-probe runs the full descent twice to recover one bit (KeyboardShortcutsExtension.ts:245-263 — a discriminated return type would fix it); getChildrenConfig vs isContainerType gives one predicate three spellings.
Efficiency: getContainerUIInfo rebuilds sets+selector from all blockSpecs per mousemove (schema is immutable — memoize per editor); ContainerNodeView does an O(doc) editor.getBlock(id) on every render when the cached nodeToBlock(props.node, …) fallback would be O(1); removeEmptyChildren is O(n²) (iterate container.forEach + delete back-to-front); fixContainersById does one full-doc scan per ancestor; the undepped useLayoutEffect re-stamps all attributes every render (memoize last-applied tuple).
Conventions (CLAUDE.md): mergeIntoContainerContent is a new exported const arrow with an any-typed dispatch; blockSchema[block.type as any] in serializeBlocksExternalHTML.ts:287 hides that PartialBlock.type can be undefined (would throw in isContainerType); gratuitous as any/Record<string, any> casts in extensions.ts:78 and Exporter.ts:94 where typed access compiles.
Leftovers: the coords.left + 50 "bit hacky" probe survives even though this PR's own rectIndexAtCursor can resolve the child from measured rects; isContainerNode reaches index.ts through a fixContainer.ts re-export hop that already forced an import-cycle workaround comment.
Verified clean (for the record)
isBlockContainer→isWrappedBlock rename complete repo-wide; xl-multi-column imports and legacy shims all route correctly; @blocknote/core/internal wiring complete; no stale fixColumns callers; test changes are mechanical/additive with no weakened assertions; mergeIntoContainerContent position math correct.
Suggested priority: the sealed-boundary family and updateBlock props reset are contract violations in the new API's headline features; the stack overflow and doc.check() compat break hurt schema authors and existing users on upgrade; the isContainerNode family is one systematic fix (use isContainerBlockNode at the four sites).
Architecture: should regular blocks migrate to the container model?
Most of the 21 confirmed bugs aren't isolated mistakes; they're the tax of three block shapes coexisting in one document model:
- Regular blocks: shared
blockContainernode →blockContentchild + optional genericblockGroup - Pure containers: one per-type node holding children directly
- Content-bearing containers: per-type outer node → generated
__content+__children
Nearly every finding family maps to a seam between these: the isContainerNode vs isContainerBlockNode vs isWrappedBlock near-misses (BlockPopover, containerNav descent, isEmptyContainerChild), the two-arm duplication in updateBlock/blockToNode, the serializer re-building region DOM by hand, and unwrapContainer guessing how many node levels to strip per shape. So the instinct is right: fewer shapes would have prevented most of this class.
What full migration would mean. "Regular block = content-bearing container" is coherent: paragraph becomes {content: 'inline', children: {allow: 'any'}}, blockContainer/blockGroup disappear, and every block is outer > __content? + __children?. It would even be a feature win — children rules (allow/min/max/whenEmptied) would become expressible per block type for all blocks, not just containers. But it's a persisted-format break, and that's the real cost, not code churn:
- Yjs/collab docs share the XmlFragment structure across clients on different versions — you can't atomically migrate a live collab document, so you'd need a format version + migration story.
- HTML serialization and clipboard formats change with it (the
bn-block-outerstructure vs thedata-content-type/data-children-ofscheme). - The shared
blockContainerwrapper is what makesparagraph → headinga cheap, id- and props-preservingsetNodeMarkup. The review confirmed the container conversion path (full-replace) currently loses both — under naive unification every type change takes that path, so identity preservation in the replace path must be solved first anyway.
The pragmatic path — unify the code, not (yet) the format. The key observation is that shape 1 is already expressible as a degenerate case of shape 3: blockContainer is an outer node, its blockContent child is the __content slot (just type-polymorphic instead of generated per type), and blockGroup is the __children holder. The PR half-built this facade (isWrappedBlock, getContainerChildrenHolder, the naming helpers in children.ts) but the consumers still branch per shape instead of normalizing. Concretely:
- One regions accessor — something like
getBlockRegions(node) → {outer, content?, childrenHolder?}that all three shapes resolve into — consumed bygetBlockInfoFromPos, containerNav,updateBlock,blockToNode, and both serializers. That collapses the duplicated arms and makes the predicate near-misses structurally impossible (there's no "which shape am I" question left to get wrong). - Generate
blockContainer/blockGroupfrom the container machinery inchildren.ts/createSpec.tsso parse rules, DOM markers, and priorities have one owner — several reuse findings (marker literals in three files, the container-predicate triplication) fall out of that for free. - Migrate the semantically-container defaults onto the API first: multi-column (already planned — the legacy shims mark the sites), then toggle/quote/callout-style blocks. That deletes bespoke keyboard handlers and exercises the container API against real defaults without touching paragraph/heading documents.
- Reserve node-level unification for an explicit format-versioned change later — after step 1, it becomes a mostly mechanical migration rather than an architectural one, and step 3 will have shown what the container model still can't express.
Bottom line: don't merge regular blocks into container nodes in this PR or the next — the collab-format compatibility and identity-preservation costs are real. But treat the accessor-level unification (step 1) as near-term work, because the review shows the branch-per-shape code is where the bugs actually breed, and that fix needs no format change at all.
