Align homepage and category discovery, modern widgets, admin controls, quotes, and comments with the reference theme. Remove superseded paths and add rendering and behavior coverage. Update stale asset and finance contracts; all 760 Node tests and 139 widget assertions pass.
Clicking 加载更多 in the 多栏目文章 widget showed no skeleton at all — the
list simply stayed still until the response arrived, then the new cards
appeared. The homepage stream, archives and comments already had a working
skeleton; the widget's AJAX load goes through a different client and never
found its loader.
Root cause was DOM placement, not visibility: ContentRenderer emitted
.post_ajax_loader as a *sibling* of .widget-ajaxpager, while the widget REST
client resolves it with container.querySelector('.post_ajax_loader'). The
node existed but could never match, so .is-loading was never added and the
skeleton stayed display:none. Inactive tab panes had the same shape, and the
direct-load branch of ajaxpager() emitted no loader at all.
Changes, all following the reference theme's post_ajax() contract in
zibll/js/main.js (beforeSend anchors the loader to the end of the list;
success only hides it, never removes it):
- ContentRenderer: nest the loader inside .widget-ajaxpager for both the
direct-load and inactive-tab branches, and drop the sibling append.
- widgets/frontend.js: anchorLoader() moves the loader to the end of the
list before .ajax-pag on every request; appended cards are inserted before
it; a replace preserves the node instead of wiping it with innerHTML; a
fallback loader is created when the DOM has none; loadItems() now returns
its promise; drop the unreachable is-loading auto-load branch.
- Message centre, user-home panels and the search page switch from spinner /
opacity feedback to the same .posts-item-shaped skeleton, so all AJAX
surfaces share one loading contract.
- Remove the second, never-wired skeleton system (.aksrt-skeleton-* in
core-ui.css) and the dead spinner stylesheets/rules (skeleton.css,
ajax-spinner.css, .load-more__*, --skeleton-base/--skeleton-shine) plus the
unregistered assets/js/waterfall.js.
- Extend the widget, message-centre, user-home and asset-ledger contract
tests to pin the loader inside the container, the class-only visibility
switch, and the absence of the deleted dead code.
Verified: 470 node tests, 136 PHP widget assertions, admin-contract and
widget-system audits all green; rebuilt public assets after the CSS/JS
removals.
