BaoCut Slides: adapting an interactive web editor

Requirements & limits

• Prerequisites: Needs Node.js >=22.12.0, npm workspace dependencies, the apps/slides-editor build and a BaoCut Runtime/host; the runtime declares React ^19.3.0 and patched PptxGenJS 3.12.0. Full BaoCut builds add Rust/Cargo, CMake and C++ tools, with full Xcode/Metal for Apple Silicon inference. Agent-made decks need Codex CLI, Claude Code or another configured engine under its own terms.
• Scope: The pinned Slides component is an editor runtime, a restricted HTML/CSS slide compiler and a new BaoCut host; decks are a v4 deck.json index with per-slide HTML and local assets.
• Limits: Single-user and file-backed, with per-file conflict checks but no whole-batch rollback. Shared rooms/presence, share links, persistent comment threads and sending to Google Drive/Slides are out of scope; PPTX/PDF downloads remain P1.
• Testing evidence: End-to-end validation covers only the Web annotation flow, not Electron; the published tests use fakes and no comparison with the original.
• License: BaoCut Community License 1.0 is source-available: personal/internal use and content creation are allowed; commercializing the code or commercial hosting needs a separate license. PptxGenJS (MIT) and mediabunny (MPL-2.0) keep their terms; no reuse rights are shown for Claude material or the bundled icon font, slated for replacement.
• Attribution: Use independently authorized slide content.
