Summary

The host formatting bar reads the editor once, when it mounts. On a freshly opened page the bar mounts before the editor exists, so its text style menu never sees it: applying a heading works, but the menu keeps showing "Normal text" until you pin/unpin the toolbar or leave edit mode.

The bar now waits for the editor. useHostEditor exposes editorReady, and both the pinned and floating bars render once it's true.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The host editor now reports readiness through useHostEditor. The page editor waits for this state before rendering pinned and floating formatting controls. Tests cover loading, asynchronous mounting, and readiness reset.

Changes

Editor readiness controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Host editor readiness state
webapp/src/hooks/host_editor.ts, webapp/src/hooks/host_editor.test.ts
useHostEditor tracks readiness while polling for the host editor. It resets readiness when editing stops and cancels polling during cleanup. Tests cover these states.
Formatting toolbar readiness gating
webapp/src/components/page_editor/page_editor.tsx
PageEditor renders pinned and floating formatting bars only when editorReady is true.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7c51e

The change fixes the stale text-style label, but the editor-wait logic can keep consuming client resources on pages where the editor will never mount, such as unsupported or not-found pages. This is a bounded minor runtime risk that needs owner awareness or follow-up; the PR remains otherwise mergeable.

Stop polling when the editor cannot mount.

If editing is true while hostCanUseEditor() is false, ready is true. PageEditor then returns the host-missing view without mounting WysiwygEditor. Line 46 schedules an animation frame indefinitely. The same condition occurs when load.notFound is true.

Derive the hook input from host support and non-terminal load state.

Proposed fix
+    const canUseEditor = hostCanUseEditor();
+    const editorExpected = canUseEditor && editing && !load.loading && !load.error && !load.notFound;
+
     const {formattingBarRef, surfaceRef, getEditor, applyFormatting, editorReady, documentMode} =
-        useHostEditor(editorRef, editing && !load.loading && !load.error);
+        useHostEditor(editorRef, editorExpected);
...
-    if (!hostCanUseEditor()) {
+    if (!canUseEditor) {
