Summary

Complete implementation of the Hero File Manager, a web-based file management system built with Dioxus (Rust WASM) frontend and WebDAV-backed server.

Architecture

5-crate workspace following the Hero ecosystem pattern:

hero_filemanager_server — OpenRPC daemon with WebDAV client, OSIS object storage, JSON-RPC API
hero_filemanager_sdk — Async Rust SDK client for the daemon JSON-RPC API
hero_filemanager_ui — Dioxus 0.7 web frontend with router, components, and CSS
hero_filemanager_rhai — Rhai scripting bindings for automation
hero_filemanager — CLI binary entry point

Features Implemented

Server (WebDAV)

PROPFIND XML parsing with namespace-aware detection (D:, ns0:, bare)
Directory listing, file upload/download, move, copy, delete via WebDAV
10 JSON-RPC methods: list_directory, get_file_info, create_folder, rename_item, move_items, copy_items, delete_items, trash_items, restore_items, search
OSchema-generated types with OSIS persistence

UI (Dioxus)

Browse route with async data loading (use_effect + spawn pattern)
File list with list/grid view modes, selection, double-click navigation
Toolbar with paste (cut/copy), search with API call, view mode toggle
Dialogs: New Folder, Rename, Upload (multi-file), Delete confirmation, Move To
Breadcrumb navigation with clickable path segments
Folder tree sidebar showing current directory folders
Context menu with Copy, Cut, Rename, Delete actions
File info panel with size, type, modification date
Keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+C/X/V, Ctrl+A, Delete, F2
Viewers: Image, PDF (iframe), Text (syntax highlighted)
Markdown editor with Edit/Split/Preview modes, save to backend, markdown-to-HTML rendering
Complete CSS stylesheet (1000+ lines)

SDK

Full async JSON-RPC client for all 10 server methods
Direct file upload/download via HTTP PUT/GET
URL generation helpers

Rhai Bindings

fm_list, fm_mkdir, fm_rename, fm_delete, fm_search
tokio::runtime::Runtime::block_on() bridge for sync Rhai context
FileEntry type with property getters

Tests

11 tests passing:

3 OSIS CRUD tests (FileEntry, Workspace, all objects)
6 WebDAV XML parsing tests (D: namespace, subdirectory, URL-encoded, helpers)
2 Rhai tests (engine creation, error handling)

Verification

cargo fmt --all -- --check  (clean)
cargo clippy --workspace     (2 warnings in generated code only)
cargo test --workspace       (11 passed, 0 failed)
