Michael aeead05e4c fix(downloads): swap st.download_button for an HTML <a download> helper
Reported symptom: only the FIRST download button in a multi-button
row pops the browser save dialog. The second and third do nothing on
click. Affects every tool page that exposes (cleaned + audit + config)
downloads.

Root cause is ``st.download_button`` itself — when several render in
the same script pass, the click-to-bytes wiring on the browser side
mis-routes and only one button's data is actually exposed. Explicit
``key`` arguments don't fix it; ``use_container_width=True`` doesn't
help either; we confirmed this in the Text Cleaner reverts.

Replace the widget with a real ``<a download="file" href="data:...">``
anchor rendered via ``st.markdown(..., unsafe_allow_html=True)``.
Bypasses Streamlit's widget machinery entirely; behaves identically to
a native browser download. Side benefit: clicking it does NOT trigger
a script rerun, so other in-flight UI state survives.

New helper ``html_download_button`` lives in
``src/gui/components/_legacy.py`` (exported from ``components``). API:

    html_download_button(
        label, data,
        *, file_name, mime="application/octet-stream",
        disabled=False, help=None, use_container_width=True,
    )

Translation pattern applied across every tool page (and shared
``results_summary`` / ``config_panel`` widgets in ``_legacy.py``):

- ``st.download_button(`` -> ``html_download_button(``
- ``data=foo_bytes`` kwarg -> positional second arg
- ``key="..."`` -> dropped (helper has no widget identity)
- ``use_container_width=True`` -> dropped (default)
- ``disabled=`` and ``help=`` pass through unchanged
- Pre-computed byte buffers kept where they were

Total: 17 sites replaced (3 in Text Cleaner, 3 in Format
Standardizer, 3 in Fix Missing Values, 3 in Map Columns, 3 in
Automated Workflows, 2 in Find Duplicates page + 4 in shared
_legacy.py widgets used by Find Duplicates).

Caveat: data: URLs balloon by 33% (base64). Fine for tool output
sizes we ship; if a future result topped a few hundred MB we'd want a
Blob-URL fallback.

The marketing demo at src/gui/app_demo.py keeps its single
st.download_button — single button, no collision, no need to switch.

2008 tests pass.

Download (non-technical users)

Pre-built installers — no Python required:

Platform Download First-launch note
macOS DataTools-X.Y.Z-mac.dmg Drag DataTools.app into /Applications, then double-click.
Windows DataTools-X.Y.Z-win-setup.exe Run the installer; launches from Start Menu.
Linux DataTools-X.Y.Z-linux-x86_64.AppImage chmod +x the file, then double-click.

Latest release: see GitHub Releases (or the Gumroad listing). The installers are ~150200 MB; the launcher boots a local server at http://127.0.0.1:8501 and opens your browser. Nothing is sent to the cloud.

Install from source (developers)

pip install -r requirements.txt

Python 3.10+ required.

Run

GUI (recommended):

streamlit run src/gui/app.py

CLI — seven entry points:

python -m src.cli            customers.csv [--apply]   # dedup
python -m src.cli_text_clean messy.csv     [--apply]   # text clean
python -m src.cli_format     intl.csv      [--apply]   # format standardize (auto-streams >100 MB)
python -m src.cli_missing    holes.csv     [--apply]   # missing values
python -m src.cli_column_map vendor.csv    [--apply]   # column mapper
python -m src.cli_pipeline   any_file.csv  [--apply]   # chain tools end-to-end
python -m src.cli_analyze    any_file.csv  [--json]    # scan only

Every CLI runs preview-only by default; add --apply to write output.

Language

The GUI sidebar has a language picker. Packs ship for English and Español (src/i18n/packs/); the choice persists for the session. Adding a language: drop a <code>.json next to en.json mirroring its key tree, then list it in LANGUAGES. See Developer Guide §i18n.

Review & Normalize gate

Every uploaded file passes through a CSV-normalization gate before any tool sees it. The analyzer flags ~15 issue types (whitespace, NBSP / zero-width chars, BOM, encoding, smart punct, dirty headers, null sentinels, mojibake, …) tagged by confidence (high / medium / low) and fix action. The GUI shows each finding with Auto-fix / Skip / Customize, a live before/after preview, and an encoding-override picker. Tool pages refuse to load until the gate passes.

Output

Every run writes:

  • {input}_<tool>.csv — the cleaned data
  • {input}_changes.csv (text cleaner) or {input}_match_groups.csv (dedup) — audit trail
  • logs/<tool>_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.log — debug-level run log

Original input file is never modified.

Dependencies
