The PR adds alt text support to the Koenig product card image.

What changed

  • Product card node (kg-default-nodes): a new productImageAlt string property, default empty, included in the serialized JSON. Existing posts without the key load with an empty alt (""), so there is no migration.
  • Rendering: the web and email templates always emit an alt attribute on the product image, escaped, and alt="" when unset so screen readers treat the image as decorative. Previously the image had no alt at all. Lack of alt causes screen readers to read the filename. "" is better for images that are display only. (The screen reader says nothing if the image is decorative.) And for important images (more common for the product card uses I've seen), we'll have actual alt text if the post author sets it. Writing out "" for unset alt increases the number of snapshot and test changes slightly, but is the right thing to do.
  • Parsing: HTML import and pasted product card markup now read the image's alt attribute back into the node.
  • Editor (koenig-lexical): an "Alt" pill at the bottom-right of the image while the card is in edit mode. Clicking it reveals a single-line input beneath the image. Removing the image clears the alt.
  • Import and export: the mobiledoc/lexical converters and Core's content-import media inliner already pass unknown card properties through.
  • Email rendering includes alt text.
  • Tests cover the node, renderer, parser, HTML import, both converter directions, the media inliner, the editor's serialization, and four Playwright scenarios: setting alt text, hiding the input on leaving edit mode, clearing on image removal, and caret position while editing.

Release intent: kg-default-nodes and koenig-lexical need a minor bump; kg-html-to-lexical and kg-converters don't need a release since they're tests only.

No changes to rating star rendering. Separate PR needed.

Aside: I considered refactoring to share the "alt" pill with the image card, but it meant touching the Image card, and the intended behavior is not quite identical, since this is an alt field that appears, rather than replacing the caption field.

While open in editor:
image
image

Invisible while not editing the card:
image

HTML in public site:
image

Rendered card:
image

AI usage: Cathy wrote the spec, approved all steps, did a full human run-through of the editor experience, reviewed all code generated, and wrote most of this PR text. Claude handled the code generation.

The product card image had no place to store alt text, so the rendered
image could never be described to screen readers. This adds the
property to the shared node definition so the renderer, parser and
editor can build on it.
Product card images rendered with no alt attribute at all, which
accessibility checkers flag and screen readers read as the file name.
The attribute is now always present, empty when unset so the image is
treated as decorative, and escaped so quotes in alt text cannot break
the markup. The email golden post carries an alt value so the Core
email snapshot proves the attribute renders end to end.
HTML import and pasting product card markup dropped the image alt
attribute because the parser never read it. Reading it keeps alt text
intact for posts imported from HTML and for round trips through the
rendered markup, which the html-to-lexical test now covers. The
escaping fixtures also include angle brackets.
Both mobiledoc/lexical directions copy card payloads generically and
the content importer's media inliner only rewrites URL and HTML
fields, so no code change is needed for the new productImageAlt
property. These tests pin that behaviour so a per-card property map
added later cannot drop it.
Editors had no way to describe a product card image, and the preview
hardcoded a placeholder alt. The node's alt text now flows down to the
image component, which shows an Alt toggle at the bottom-right of the
image while the card is in edit mode. Clicking it reveals an
uncontrolled input under the image, so the caret does not jump while
typing; the toggle stacks under the settings panel when they overlap,
exposes its pressed state, and the input has an accessible name.
Removing the image clears the alt so a replacement never inherits a
stale description. The interaction mirrors the image card's existing
Alt toggle.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Product cards now store image alt text in productImageAlt. HTML import, Lexical and Mobiledoc conversion, media inlining, web rendering, and email rendering preserve the value. Renderers escape the value before placing it in image attributes. The editor provides an Alt toggle and text input. Removing the image clears the value. Tests cover serialization, conversion, rendering, editing, and caret behavior.

Suggested reviewers: kevinansfield

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 017ba

Product-card image alt text is now stored and rendered across editor and publishing flows, but an open Alt field can retain stale text after an external editor update and overwrite the newer description on a later edit. This is a bounded editor data-integrity issue that should be corrected before relying on the new editing flow.

Full details: Type-Safe Boundaries

Explanation

The PR adds productImageAlt to the generated product-node properties, but the generated importJSON() and constructor copy serializedNode.productImageAlt and data.productImageAlt without runtime validation. Persisted Lexical JSON is read from post data and passed to the Lexical renderer, so a malformed database value can reach escapeHtml() and the rendered templates. The HTML importer also assigns img.getAttribute('alt') directly to the node payload. The PR introduces these new boundary-data flows and adds no Zod schema or equivalent validation.

Resolution

Add a Zod schema for the product-node boundary data, derive the related TypeScript type with z.infer, and validate serialized product data before constructing the node or rendering it. Apply the same schema or a field-level safeParse at the HTML import boundary before assigning productImageAlt; use the documented default ('') or reject malformed values. Do not pass raw serializedNode.productImageAlt or raw imported values into the node.

Synchronize the uncontrolled alt input with productImageAlt.

When an editor update changes productImageAlt while showAltInput remains true, TextInput keeps the old DOM value because it maps value to defaultValue. A later edit can write that stale value through ProductNodeComponent.handleImgAltChange, while ProductNode.exportJSON() serializes the restored value. Add controlled-value support or synchronize the input when imgAlt changes without remounting on each keystroke.

When an editor update changes productImageAlt while showAltInput remains true, TextInput keeps the old DOM value because it maps value to defaultValue. A later edit can write that stale value through ProductNodeComponent.handleImgAltChange, while ProductNode.exportJSON() serializes the restored value. Add controlled-value support or synchronize the input when imgAlt changes without remounting on each keystroke.

This behavior is identical to the image alt text editor and other TextInput behavior. There may be a genuine edge case here, if you can get the editor into a state where the input is not focused, yet fire an undo in it, but if there is, it's present in the regular image card too. Not in scope.
