📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR migrates block manipulation to structured ChangesBlockInfo and schema foundation
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This refactor changes block schema validation, table caret placement, and container refill behavior. The current head retains three bounded correctness risks that could permit invalid block configurations, misplace carets for custom table-like nodes, or reintroduce duplicate block IDs; the PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

custom table-like nodes with extra wrappers. Update blockEdgeSelection/table
edge handling to traverse the selected first or last descendant textblock and

and empty containers.
In `@packages/core/src/schema/blocks/validateChildren.ts`:
- Around line 10-60: Extend validateChildrenConfigs to reject any block
configuration that defines children together with content set to "inline",
"table", or "plain"; report the offending block through the existing fail

Generate fresh IDs for refill seeds. When config.default contains an explicit id, the refill path passes it directly to blockToNode, which preserves it. A refill can therefore reintroduce an ID already used elsewhere, and getNodeById returns the first matching node.

Derive the table caret position from the schema structure.
The built-in table uses the required four-level path. However, createBlockSpecFromTiptapNode allows custom nodes whose own content expression is authoritative. A custom node can therefore use tableRow+ with an additional cell or paragraph wrapper. getContentKind classifies it as "table", and tableContentCaretPos can then return a position outside the text node. Traverse the first or last textblock instead of subtracting a fixed offset, or restrict the "table" classification to the built-in structure.

Enforce the content/children restriction in BlockConfig. BlockConfig declares both fields independently, so TypeScript accepts children with content: "inline", "table", or "plain". addNodeAndExtensionsToSpec then treats any config with children as a container and casts it to content: "none", allowing the invalid combination to reach schema construction.

…abulary for block/children plumbing Consolidates the ~8 vocabularies that answered "where do this block's children live?" down to two: `getBlockRegions` resolves block shape in one place, and `BlockInfo` is the position-annotated view everything reads. BlockInfo shape: - `bnBlock` -> `block`, `blockContent` -> `content`, `childContainer` -> `children`, `isWrappedBlock` -> `hasContent` - precomputed `contentStart`/`contentEnd`, `children.childrenStart`/`childrenEnd`, `contentKind`, `isContentEmpty` replace hand arithmetic at 40+ call sites - still a discriminated union on `hasContent`, so narrowing guards keep working Producers: 6 -> 4. `getBlockInfo` and `getBlockInfoFromResolvedPos` are gone; `getBlockInfoWithManualOffset`, `getBlockInfoAtNearest` and `getBottomNestedBlockInfo` become `getBlockInfoFromNode`, `getBlockInfoNearPos` and `getLastDescendantBlockInfo`. Navigation helpers (`getParentBlockInfo`, `getPrevBlockInfo`, `getNextBlockInfo`, `getLastDescendantBlockInfo`) move from `mergeBlocks.ts` to `getBlockInfoFromPos.ts` and become public. `getParentBlockInfo` now has block-model semantics: a block inside a column parents to the column, not the columnList. This fixes the Delete-at-end climb running its seal check on the wrong node for container children. Deleted synonym vocabularies and bare-property-read helpers: `childrenHolder.ts`, `ChildrenWriteTarget`, `fixContainer`'s private repair targets, `getChildrenConfig`, `isContainerType`, `isPlaceableAnywhere`, `isInsertableChild`, `flattenNonInsertableBlocks`, `seedRefillChildren`, `assertSchemaInvariants.ts`, and most of `validateChildren.ts` (which duplicated checks ProseMirror already enforces). `descendToFirstInsertionPos`/`descendToLastInsertionPos` merge into `descendToInsertionPos(info, nodeType, edge, opts)`. `setSelection` and `setTextCursorPosition` drop their manual table arithmetic and content-type switches in favour of `blockEdgePos`/`blockEdgeSelection`. `canNestBlock` and `canUnnestBlock` now dry-run the real command instead of re-deriving its preconditions. `insertBlocks` placements `"start"`/`"end"` are renamed to `"first-child"`/ `"last-child"`. The cursor-placement vocabulary of `setTextCursorPosition` is unrelated and unchanged.

Top of the container-blocks stack. Subsumes #3007 (now closed) — the BlockInfo simplification and the BlockInfo consolidation are one API-simplification change, so they ship as a single layer.
This PR is all about simplifying the block-plumbing APIs: fewer names, fewer producers, no hand arithmetic, one vocabulary. It is a pure refactor apart from the two behavior changes called out below.
One vocabulary:
BlockInfo"Where do this block's children live?" was answered in ~8 different vocabularies (
BlockInfo.children, write-target helpers,fixContainer's private repair targets, rawbeforePos + 1walks, structural slice-walk branches, …). This PR consolidates them down to two:getBlockRegionsresolves block shape (container vsblockContainer) in one place, andBlockInfois the position-annotated view everything downstream reads.getBlockRegions(node) → { outer, content?, childrenHolder? }, consumed bygetBlockInfoFromNode. No other code asks "which shape am I".childrenHolder.ts,ChildrenWriteTarget,fixContainer's private{ blockPos, childrenStart }repair targets, and the seal-variant descend trio (now onedescendToInsertionPos(info, nodeType, edge, opts)).getChildrenConfig(=config.children),isContainerType(=config.children !== undefined),isPlaceableAnywhere(=config.placement !== "containerOnly"),isInsertableChild,flattenNonInsertableBlocks,seedRefillChildren,seedDefaultChildren,createContainerChildrenNode,createExplicitChildrenNode; inlineddeleteBlockCollapsingSingletonGroupand the table-caret±4arithmetic.Simpler
BlockInfoshapeField renames — drops the internal jargon (ProseMirror group name strings like
"bnBlock"are unchanged; only the TS API is renamed):bnBlockblockblockContentcontentchildContainerchildrenisWrappedBlockhasContentPrecomputed derived fields — callers kept re-deriving the same positions with hand arithmetic (
blockContent.beforePos + 1at 25+ sites,afterPos - 1at ~12, empty-inline-block checks at ~6).BlockInfonow carries them directly:contentStart/contentEnd— inside edges of the content nodechildren.childrenStart/children.childrenEnd— inside edges of the child containercontentKind: "inline" | "plain" | "none" | "table" | "other"— replaces rawspec.contentstring checksisContentEmptyThese stay a discriminated union on
hasContent, so the existing narrowing guards keep working.Fewer producers
6 overlapping producers → 4, named by what you have; the module doc comment carries the decision table:
getBlockInfoFromNode(node, beforePos)getBlockInfoAt(doc, posBeforeBlock)getBlockInfoNearPos(source, pos)getBlockInfoFromSelection(source)getBlockInfoandgetBlockInfoFromResolvedPosare deleted;getBlockInfoWithManualOffset,getBlockInfoAtNearest, andgetBottomNestedBlockInfoare renamed (getBlockInfoFromNode,getBlockInfoNearPos,getLastDescendantBlockInfo).Navigation helpers moved & fixed
getParentBlockInfo/getPrevBlockInfo/getNextBlockInfo/getLastDescendantBlockInfomove frommergeBlocks.tstogetBlockInfoFromPos.ts(they're generic navigation, not merge logic) and become public.Behavior fix:
getParentBlockInfonow has block-model semantics — a block inside a column parents to the column, not the columnList. Fixes the Delete-at-end climb running its seal check on the wrong node for container children. Regression test added.Named positions over raw arithmetic:
childrenStart/End,contentStart/Endreplace the surviving±1/nodeSizesites; the Backspace-into-table caret now anchors on the actual previous block's content region, fixing a latent off-by-2 for nested tables.Callers get shorter
The point of the derived fields is that call sites stop doing structural work:
setSelectiondrops its manualTableMap.get/positionAttable-edge arithmetic and itscontent === "none"checks forblockEdgePos(info, "start" | "end")(−40 lines).setTextCursorPosition's 55-line content-type switch collapses into a singleblockEdgeSelection(...)call (−45 lines).canNestBlock/canUnnestBlocknow dry-run the real command (editor.canExec(...)) instead of re-deriving its preconditions by hand — the hand-written copies had already drifted from the command.moveBlocksgets a local recursivedissolveContainerOnlyBlocks, replacing the exportedflattenNonInsertableBlocks.Schema validation reduced
validateChildren.tsgoes from 392 → 115 lines andassertSchemaInvariants.tsis deleted outright. Both were re-checking things ProseMirror's own schema/content-expression machinery already enforces at node-creation time (allow-permits-nothing, unknown types inallow,defaultcount vs min/max,defaultnot permitted, containerOnly reachability, container-runs-before ordering, fillability).What is kept is what ProseMirror can not tell you, or only tells you far from the cause:
max < min, a regular block listed inallow, and cycles in the children graph.API rename
insertBlocksplacements"start"/"end"→"first-child"/"last-child"(docs, tests, jsdoc updated). The cursor-placement"start"/"end"vocabulary ofsetTextCursorPositionis unrelated and unchanged.Testing
Two
@blocknote/server-utilserialization tests fail (blocksToHTMLLossy,blocksToMarkdownLossy,ReferenceError: DocumentFragment is not defined). These are pre-existing on the base branch — verified by checking out the base head and reproducing the identical two failures. The cause isinstanceof DocumentFragmentincontainerRootDOMnot being cross-realm safe under SSR; the fix belongs in the base PR, not here.Note on scope
An earlier revision of this branch also carried a rewrite of
KeyboardShortcutsExtension.ts, ablockToNode.ts→contentToNodes.tsfile split, aReactBlockSpecnode-view merge, and a SideMenu geometry cleanup. Those are unrelated to the block/children plumbing and have been dropped from this PR; only the mechanical adaptation of those files to the newBlockInfoAPI remains.
