Shifu Authoring Flow
Core Rules
Preserve the separation between draft state, publish state, and history logs.
Route structural changes through the dedicated shifu helper modules instead of
mutating trees directly in routes.
Keep import/export payload changes synchronized with validation, permissions,
and history behavior.
Workflow
Start from route.py, funcs.py, and the relevant shifu_* helper module.
Identify whether the change affects draft state, publish state, or both.
Update permissions, structural validation, and import/export behavior
together when the payload contract moves.
Add or update tests under src/api/tests/service/shifu/.
