An htmx swap mode, and a validation path that rendered the wrong form.
Réponse courte
In IOTA SDK's CRM, after saving a client card the Save button stayed on screen, and clicking it again reverted the changes. Update responses were swapped into the card's inner HTML, leaving the old form wrapped around the new read-only card. The fix sends HX-Reswap: outerHTML with each update response. It also corrects the notes handler, which rendered the tax form on validation failure. It was merged as PR #1032 and closed issue #274.
The problem
Issue #274: "After editing and saving a client, the 'Save' button remains visible. Clicking it again reverts the saved changes."
The fix
In all four client update handlers:
htmx.Retarget(w, "#personal-info-card")
htmx.Reswap(w, "outerHTML")And in UpdateNotes, the validation-failure path now renders the notes form with the submitted comments:
- props := &clients.TaxInfoEditProps{
+ clientVM.Comments = dto.Comments
+ props := &clients.NotesInfoEditProps{By the numbers

How the review went
An automated reviewer pointed out that on validation failure the notes form showed the persisted comments instead of what the user had submitted, which "discards unsaved user input." The follow-up commit sets clientVM.Comments = dto.Comments before rendering. A maintainer merged the PR. The supplied research records automated feedback but no human review comments. The diff also removes blank lines between functions.

Le but
With htmx, the swap mode is part of the contract between server and page. Getting it right removed a confusing button and a way to lose data.
