Sidebar nav now groups tools under Data Review / Data Cleaners /
Transformations / Automations via st.navigation, replacing the flat
auto-discovered list. Tool display names switch to action-first
phrasing (Find Duplicates, Fix Missing Values, Find Unusual Values,
Standardize Formats, Clean Text, Quality Check, Map Columns, Combine
Files, Automated Workflows) in EN + ES packs and on each page's H1.
The Data Cleaners section follows the requested order: Missing
Values → Outliers → Text Cleaner → Format Standardizer → Deduplicator
→ Quality Check. (Text Cleaner kept inside cleaners since the request
didn't list it but the tool still ships.) Registry now carries a
section field; helpers added: tools_in_section(), section_label().

Two coupled changes:
1. Lite tier
- New Tier.LITE in src/license/schema.py.
- FEATURES_BY_TIER[Tier.LITE] = {Deduplicator, Text Cleaner,
Format Standardizer}. The three universally-useful tools that
cover the most common bookkeeping / RevOps / Klaviyo prep
workflows. Other six tools require Core.
- i18n: license.tier_lite, license.feature_locked_title,
license.feature_locked_body, license.upgrade_link,
license.status_locked (en + es).
- Per-tool feature gate at every GUI tool page
(require_feature_or_render_upgrade) and every tool CLI
(guard(feature=...)). A locked tool renders an upgrade
prompt + Manage-license button (GUI) or exits with code 2
(CLI).
- Home grid: tool cards the user's tier doesn't unlock get a
red 🔒 Locked badge in place of green Ready.
2. Trial removed
- Activation form's "Start 1-year trial" button removed.
- license_cli's `trial` subcommand removed.
- activation.trial_button / activation.trial_help i18n keys
dropped (pack parity test stays green).
- Tier.TRIAL stays in the enum (back-compat with any field-
tested trial licenses); LicenseManager._mint stays internal
for tests and the seller's key generator.
- Decision logged in DECISIONS §9b: a 1-year all-features
trial undercuts paid Lite; paid-only keeps tier economics
clean.
Tests (+29 net): +17 Lite-tier unit/guard tests + 13 Lite-tier
GUI tests + 1 trial-absent assertion - 2 trial CLI tests - 1
trial GUI button test. Total: 1995 → 2024.

Introduces src/core/errors.py with a small structured error hierarchy
that every public entry point now uses. Each error carries the
context a user needs to fix it and the context a maintainer needs to
trace it.
The hierarchy:
DataToolsError (base — formats path, column, operation, suggestion)
InputValidationError (extends ValueError — bad arg / wrong type)
ConfigError (extends ValueError — bad config / options)
FileFormatError (extends ValueError — file is not what we expected)
FileAccessError (extends OSError — file I/O failure)
Subclassing the stdlib bases means existing `except OSError` /
`except ValueError` handlers still catch them — no breaking change.
Helpers:
- ensure_dataframe(value, function=...) — uniform DataFrame guard
- ensure_choice(value, name=, choices=) — uniform enum/literal guard
- wrap_file_read(path, op, exc) — tag OSError with hint + path
- wrap_file_write(path, op, exc) — same, with Windows-aware tip
- format_for_user(exc, context=) — user-facing string for st.error / stderr
Library hardening:
- io.read_file: missing files surface FileAccessError listing whether
the parent directory exists, and the suggestion to check the path.
- io.read_file: chunk_size <= 0 now raises InputValidationError with
a positive-integer suggestion.
- io._read_excel: openpyxl BadZipFile / InvalidFileException / pandas
ValueError ("sheet not found") wrapped as FileFormatError listing
the path and a "list sheets with list_sheets()" hint.
- io._detect_excel_header_row: bare except narrowed to specific
openpyxl exceptions; falls back gracefully and logs at debug so
the real error surfaces from pd.read_excel.
- io.write_file: OSError / PermissionError on to_csv/to_excel wrapped
with file path and Windows-aware "file may be open in another
program" hint.
- dedup._parse_date: bare `except Exception` narrowed to
(TypeError, ValueError, OutOfBoundsDatetime); failed values
logged at debug for survivor-selection forensics.
- dedup._select_survivor: KEEP_MOST_RECENT now raises
InputValidationError instead of silently falling back to keep_first.
- dedup.deduplicate: input validation errors are InputValidationError
with operation/column/suggestion fields.
- format_standardize.from_dict: invalid FieldType for a column raises
ConfigError naming the column AND the bad value AND listing valid
values; same for date_order / phone_format / etc.
- format_standardize.from_file: OSError / JSON decode wrapped with
path AND line/column where parsing failed.
- format_standardize.to_file: TypeError on json.dumps wrapped as
ConfigError with the suspected source (extra_abbreviations).
- format_standardize._apply_field_type: dispatcher's "unknown field
type" branch now raises AssertionError (it's an internal invariant,
not user error — a new enum value was added without a branch).
- format_standardize._resolve_column_types: missing-column error now
InputValidationError with a "check for typos / unparsed header"
suggestion.
- format_standardize.standardize_dataframe: ensure_dataframe at entry.
- text_clean.clean_dataframe: ensure_dataframe at entry.
- config.to_strategies: invalid Algorithm/NormalizerType wrapped as
ConfigError naming the strategy index AND the column.
- config.to_survivor_rule: invalid SurvivorRule wrapped as ConfigError
listing valid values.
- config.from_file: OSError / JSON decode wrapped (mirror of
StandardizeOptions.from_file).
- fixes.repair_mojibake: ImportError on ftfy now logged at info level
with the underlying ImportError so a corrupt-package vs not-installed
distinction is visible in the logs.
- normalizers.normalize_phone: phonenumbers.NumberParseException now
logged at debug when the digits-only fallback drops extension /
country-code information — gives a trail when matching results
look wrong.
GUI / CLI surfaces:
- All 9 page handlers (`except Exception as e: st.error(...)`) now
use format_for_user(), which renders DataToolsError fields nicely
and falls back to "ClassName: message" for unrecognized errors.
- 2_Text_Cleaner and 3_Format_Standardizer additionally distinguish
UnicodeDecodeError with an "re-save as UTF-8" suggestion before
the generic handler.
- cli.py's "Error reading file" handler now uses format_for_user()
and includes the input path in the prefix.
Tests:
- tests/test_errors.py — 22 new tests covering: base class formatting,
stdlib inheritance, ensure_dataframe / ensure_choice helpers,
wrap_file_read / wrap_file_write, format_for_user behavior, and
end-to-end integration (missing file, missing dir, bad JSON, bad
algorithm, bad enum, missing column).
- tests/test_audit_fixes.py + tests/test_io.py — updated 4 tests for
the new exception types (InputValidationError replaces TypeError,
FileAccessError extends OSError).
Full project suite: 1230 passed, 4 skipped, 17 xfailed.

Adds a Review & Normalize page that sits between upload and every tool
page. The analyzer now tags each finding with confidence (high/medium/low)
and a fix_action; the gate auto-applies high-confidence fixes, surfaces
medium/low ones for user review, and blocks tool pages on error-level
findings until resolved or waived.
Core (src/core/):
- analyze.py: Finding gains confidence, fix_action, pre_applied; new
detectors for encoding_uncertain, encoding_decode_failed; new top-
level encoding_override parameter.
- fixes.py: registry of fix algorithms keyed by fix_action id.
- normalize.py: auto_fix(), apply_decisions(), is_normalized(), and
the NormalizationResult / Decision dataclasses the gate consumes.
- io.py: detect_encoding tries strict UTF-8 first; repair_bytes now
transcodes UTF-16/32 to UTF-8 before NUL-strip (fixes UTF-16 corruption)
and normalizes line endings (fixes bare-CR parser crash); empty file
handled gracefully instead of EmptyDataError traceback.
GUI (src/gui/):
- pages/0_Review.py: gate page with per-finding decision controls,
encoding override picker (16 codepages + custom), and Advanced output
options (encoding, delimiter, line terminator) on the download.
- components.py: require_normalization_gate() helper.
- pages/1-9: gate guard wired on every tool page.
Test corpora:
- test-cases/encodings-corpus/: 31 encoded CSV fixtures + 9 reference
UTF-8 files + manifest, synced from Business/DataTools.
- test-cases/text-cleaner-corpus/test_data/17: synced malformed input
(unquoted $1,500.00) for the unquoted-delimiter detector.
Tests (94 new):
- test_normalize.py (48): finding fields, fix registry, auto_fix scope,
decision paths, gate idempotency, output-options helper.
- test_encodings_corpus.py (90, 16 xfailed): parametric detection +
decode + analyzer-no-crash sweep against the manifest.
- test_analyze.py: encoding override + encoding_uncertain detectors.
- test_corpus.py: pre-parse repair in the strict reader.
run_tests.py: new aliases --tool normalize, --tool encodings, --tool gate;
encodings corpus added to --fixtures category.
Docs: USER-GUIDE §3.3 covers the gate workflow, encoding override, and
output options; TECHNICAL §10.2.1-10.2.4 documents the analyzer schema,
gate API, Review page, and pre-parse repair pipeline; CLI-REFERENCE adds
the analyzer JSON schema with the new fields; README links to all of it.
Suite: 765 passed, 17 xfailed (was 458 passed).

The Text Cleaner had two st.dataframe previews — the initial upload
preview ("Preview: filename") and the post-clean "Cleaned preview"
table — that both rendered cells with the same browser-collapses-
whitespace, hides-invisibles problem the analyzer findings panel had
before commit 1049c03.
components.render_hidden_aware_preview(df, n_rows, caption) renders a
DataFrame as an HTML table where:
- every cell uses visualize_hidden_html(mark_outer_whitespace=True),
so leading/trailing ASCII spaces appear as per-character "·" badges
- white-space: pre-wrap on every cell preserves internal multi-space
runs and embedded newlines visually
- headers route through the same visualizer so dirty column names
(NBSP padding, ZWSP, smart quotes) show their badges too
- NaN cells render as a faint "NaN" placeholder
- rows are sticky-headed and scrollable inside a 26rem capped
container so a 10-row preview doesn't push the rest of the UI off
screen
2_Text_Cleaner.py wires it into both previews:
- The upload preview gains its own "Show hidden characters in preview"
toggle (default on).
- The cleaned preview reuses the existing show_hidden toggle that
already governs the Examples changes table, so one switch controls
the whole results section.
Either toggle off falls back to the original st.dataframe view.

The whole point of the cleaner is to remove characters the user can't
see — which makes the "before / after" preview nearly useless by default.
A cell with NBSP padding looks identical to a cell with regular spaces.
Two new helpers in src.core.text_clean:
visualize_hidden_text(s)
Plain-text rendering: each invisible/control/smart character is
replaced by a glyph + [LABEL] (e.g. "·[NBSP]", "→[TAB]", "∅[ZWSP]",
"""[L DQUOTE]"). Suitable for terminal output, CSV exports, anywhere
HTML is wrong. Unmapped C0 controls render as [U+XXXX].
visualize_hidden_html(s) + hidden_char_css()
HTML rendering: every flagged character is wrapped in a <span> with
a CSS class and a tooltip showing the codepoint and label. Pair with
hidden_char_css() to inject the matching styles. Three colour bands
(whitespace, special, control) so the user can scan an audit table
and spot what's being changed at a glance.
Mapping covers: ASCII tab/LF/CR, every NBSP variant (U+00A0, U+202F,
U+2009, …), zero-width family (ZWSP/ZWNJ/ZWJ/WJ/BOM/SHY), bidi marks
(LRM/RLM), all smart quotes, en/em dashes, ellipsis, prime/double-prime,
and guillemets. ASCII printable text passes through; HTML output also
escapes &/</> .
GUI wiring (src/gui/pages/2_Text_Cleaner.py)
The "Examples" changes table now defaults to a hidden-char-rendered
HTML view: every NBSP/ZWSP/smart-quote/control char is shown with its
badge and codepoint tooltip. A "Show hidden characters" toggle lets
the user fall back to the raw st.dataframe view if they prefer.

Closes the last UX gap from the analyzer review: each tool page had its
own st.file_uploader, so users had to upload the same file twice (once
on the home page for analysis, once on each tool page).
components.pickup_or_upload(label, key, types) returns either:
- a _StashedUpload shim wrapping the home-page bytes (when present and
the user hasn't asked for a different file on this page), or
- the standard st.file_uploader (when nothing is stashed or the user
clicked "Use a different file").
_StashedUpload duck-types Streamlit's UploadedFile (.name, .size,
.getvalue(), .read()) so existing tool-page code consumes it without
changes. A "Use a different file" button per page sets a session-state
override flag; a "Switch back to upload-screen file" button clears it.
Wired into 2_Text_Cleaner.py and 1_Deduplicator.py — the two pages with
working uploaders today. The remaining stub pages adopt it when they're
implemented; the helper is the public surface they'll use.
Verified by smoke-launching streamlit headless and curling the home,
text-cleaner, and deduplicator routes — all return 200 with no errors
in the server log.

Add shared hide_streamlit_chrome() helper that removes header bar,
hamburger menu, footer, and deploy button via CSS injection. Called
on every page. Add .streamlit/config.toml with minimal toolbar mode.

Convert single-page deduplicator into a multi-page suite. Home page shows
tool card grid. Deduplicator extracted to its own page (fully working).
8 stub pages added for Text Cleaner, Format Standardizer, Missing Values,
Column Mapper, Outlier Detector, Multi-File Merger, Validator & Reporter,
and Pipeline Runner — each with functional file upload and coming-soon UI.
