08-Sep-2026 — a suggested tidy-up of the walk title and description while editing, correcting spelling #128

build 884 — commit 104bf98

What's new

While editing a walk, the title and description are checked when you leave the field and, where the wording can be improved, a suggestion banner appears above the field with Edit, Show differences and Show proposed changes tabs. The field itself is always there and always editable - picking a tab only changes what's shown in that one box, and typing anywhere supersedes the suggestion straight away, the same as if you'd dismissed it. It corrects spelling, grammar and punctuation, always writes as an invitation to something still to come, turns bare web addresses in a description into links with plain link text, keeps the writer's apostrophes, meaning, facts and emoji, and invents nothing. The icons on the right of the banner accept or keep your own wording; an accepted tidy-up is remembered on the walk so it is not offered again. The feature is on by default per group, and can be turned off in Walk Configuration.

At a glance

• Tidy-up suggestions for the walk title and description appear when you leave the field, never while typing, and the real field stays editable throughout - no suggestion ever blocks you from just typing over it
• One banner, with Edit / Show differences / Show proposed changes tabs, above the field; the selected tab is reflected in the URL as tidy-tab
• The banner tells you to use the icons on the right to accept the suggestion or keep your own wording
• The diff view no longer leaks raw HTML tags (e.g. <strong>) as visible text when the stored description mixes inline HTML with markdown - both sides of the comparison are normalised to plain markdown first, matching what the Edit and Show-proposed views already did
• Descriptions keep the present or future tense; bare web addresses become links with sensible text; curly apostrophes are kept
• A suggested title never ends in a full stop, even when the model adds one; the suggestion is shown without it so you can see exactly what you'd be accepting
• Numbers, distances and times stay exactly as typed: "7 mile walk" is not turned into "7-mile walk"
• Suggestions never introduce semicolons: the model is told not to, and any it adds where the writer had none become a spaced hyphen
• Text stored with HTML entities (an & for &) no longer shows a bogus change on the entity itself
• The check now runs reliably on opening a walk and on leaving a field; previously the first check could fire before the AI status came back and every later check for the same text was silently dropped
• The banner is a single line: "Suggested tidy-up: use the icons on the right to take this wording or keep your own"
• An accepted tidy-up is remembered on the walk and not offered again; so is a dismissed one - once you keep your own wording and save, that wording is never queried again until it changes
• "Suggest tidy-ups of walk titles and descriptions" in Walk Configuration, on by default
• Tidy-ups are only offered for walks still to come; editing a walk that has already happened never triggers one
• The export view's description comparison now treats punctuation separately from words
• Bold markers are compared separately from the words they wrap, so a word that only gained or lost bold is no longer shown as removed and re-added
