+# IPAL — Dokumentacja modułów
+
+**Stawiasz nowy projekt?** → [getting-started.md](./getting-started.md)
+
+IPAL (Intecion Payload Advanced Library) to plugin do Payload CMS 3, który
+dostarcza logikę i konfigurację; projekt klienta zawiera tylko komponenty
+wizualne i podłączenia do Next.js.
+
+## Zasada
+
+- **Plugin** = logika, helpery, konfiguracja, globale.
+- **Klient (projekt)** = komponenty (wygląd), pliki-podłączenia Next.js
+  (jednolinijkowe re-eksporty), konfiguracja front.
+
+## Instalacja i wpięcie
+
+### Wymagane zależności
+
+Projekt klienta musi mieć (poza payloadem):
+
+```json
+"dependencies": {
+  "@payloadcms/plugin-seo": "3.84.1",
+  "@payloadcms/plugin-form-builder": "3.84.1",
+  "nodemailer": "^8.0.1",
+  "lucide-react": "^0.400.0",
+  "slugify": "^1.6.6",
+  "server-only": "^0.0.1"
+}
+```
+
+Wersje `@payloadcms/*` **muszą** być identyczne z wersją `payload`. Wymuś
+spójność przez `pnpm.overrides` (patrz niżej), inaczej Payload odrzuci wpięcie
+pluginów (pusty tab SEO, brak kolekcji Forms) albo crashuje.
+

+
+1. **Helpery przyjmują `payload` jako argument** — plugin nigdy nie woła
+   `getPayload` sam.
+2. **Sekrety w panelu** — SMTP, Turnstile secret, R2 w SiteIntegrations
+   (admin-only). Odczyt server-side przez Local API.
+3. **Client/server split** — kod z sekretami ma `server-only`; komponenty
+   client w `ipal-kit/client`.
+4. **Generyki na typy klienta** — helpery przyjmują `<T>` (np. wygenerowany
+   `SiteSetting`), bo plugin nie zna typów projektu.

+# access
+
+Kontrola dostępu oparta na rolach: hierarchia **admin > editor > user**.
+Plugin wstrzykuje sztywne pole `roles` do klienckiej kolekcji auth i dostarcza
+predykaty oraz gotowe funkcje dostępu (collection-level i field-level).
+
+## Config (payload.config.ts)
+
+```ts
+ipalKit({
+  access: {
+    authCollection: 'users',   // slug Twojej kolekcji auth
+    // defaultRole: 'user',     // rola nowych użytkowników, domyślnie 'user'
+  },
+})
+```
+
+Wstrzykuje pole `roles` (select hasMany, `saveToJWT`, tylko admin może
+zmieniać role) do wskazanej kolekcji. Kolekcja należy do Ciebie
+(create-payload-app) — plugin tylko dokłada pole.
+
+> Po dodaniu: zadbaj, by seed / pierwszy user miał `roles: ['admin']`, inaczej
+> stracisz dostęp do zasobów admin-only (np. SiteIntegrations).
+
+## Predykaty (front / hooki / access)
+
+```ts
+import { isAdmin, isEditor, hasMinimumRole } from 'ipal-kit'
+
+isAdmin(user)                       // admin?
+isEditor(user)                      // editor lub admin (hierarchia)
+hasMinimumRole(user, 'editor')      // co najmniej editor
+```
+
+Przyjmują luźno typowanego usera (jak `req.user`), czytają `roles` defensywnie.
+
+## Gotowe funkcje dostępu
+
+### Collection-level (zwracają boolean | Where)
+
+```ts
+import { adminOnly, adminOrEditor, adminOrSelf, requireRole, authenticated } from 'ipal-kit'
+
+export const Articles = {
+  slug: 'articles',
+  access: {
+    read: authenticated,
+    create: adminOrEditor,
+    update: adminOrEditor,
+    delete: adminOnly,
+  },
+  // ...
+}
+
+// Users: każdy widzi siebie, admin widzi wszystkich
+access: { read: adminOrSelf }
+
+// dowolny minimalny próg
+access: { update: requireRole('editor') }
+```
+
+### Field-level (zwracają boolean)
+
+```ts
+import { adminOnlyField, adminOrEditorField, requireRoleField } from 'ipal-kit'
+
+{
+  name: 'internalNote',
+  type: 'textarea',
+  access: { read: adminOnlyField, update: adminOnlyField },
+}
+```
+
+## Hierarchia
+
+```ts
+import { ROLE_HIERARCHY } from 'ipal-kit'
+// ['user', 'editor', 'admin'] — wyższa rola spełnia wymóg niższej

+# blocks
+
+`RenderBlocks` — generyczny, serwerowy silnik renderowania bloków. Plugin nie
+zna Twoich bloków: iteruje po danych, mapuje `blockType` → komponent przez
+registry (prop), obsługuje zagnieżdżanie i rozszerzenia per-blok. Bloki
+(schemat + komponenty) definiujesz u siebie.
+
+## Config
+
+Brak opcji w payload.config — bloki definiujesz w swoich kolekcjach
+(pole typu `blocks`). Plugin dostarcza tylko silnik renderujący.
+
+## Front — RenderBlocks
+
+Import z `ipal-kit/rsc` (to komponent serwerowy):
+
+```tsx
+import { RenderBlocks } from 'ipal-kit/rsc'
+
+// Twój registry: blockType → komponent (komponenty są Twoje)
+import { Hero } from '@/blocks/Hero'
+import { FormBlock } from '@/blocks/FormBlock'
+
+const registry = { hero: Hero, formBlock: FormBlock }
+
+export default async function Page() {
+  const page = await payload.findByID({ collection: 'pages', id })
+  return <RenderBlocks blocks={page.layout} components={registry} />
+}
+```
+
+- nieznany `blockType` → pomijany (null), nie crashuje
+- każdy blok dostaje `_components` (mapę) — do rekursji zagnieżdżonych bloków
+  bez React Context (wymóg RSC)
+
+## enhanceProps — logika per-blok bez wiedzy pluginu
+
+Gdy blok potrzebuje danych z innych bloków (np. nawigacja zbierająca kotwice
+z sekcji), podaj `enhanceProps`. Plugin go wywołuje, nie znając Twoich bloków:
+
+```tsx
+const enhanceProps = ({ block, allBlocks }) => {
+  if (block.blockType !== 'sectionNav') return {}
+  const sections = allBlocks
+    .filter((b) => b.blockType === 'anchoredSection')
+    .map((b) => ({ anchor: b.anchor, label: b.navLabel }))
+  return { _sections: sections }
+}
+
+<RenderBlocks blocks={page.layout} components={registry} enhanceProps={enhanceProps} />
+```
+
+## Komponent bloku
+
+Każdy komponent dostaje dane bloku jako propsy (plus `_components`, plus to co
+zwróci `enhanceProps`). Spacing/layout należą do Ciebie — silnik nie owija
+bloków żadnym markupem.
+
+```tsx
+export function Hero(props) {
+  return <section className="py-16">{/* ... */}</section>

+# consent
+
+Banner zgody na cookies (GDPR): 4 kategorie (necessary / functional /
+analytics / marketing), zapis w cookie z wersjonowaniem, Google Consent Mode,
+treść z globala CookieSettings. Domyślny wygląd w czystym Tailwind,
+nadpisywalny.
+
+## Zależność
+
+Banner używa ikony z `lucide-react`:
+
+```json
+"dependencies": { "lucide-react": "^0.400.0" }
+```
+
+## Config
+
+Brak opcji — global **CookieSettings** jest zawsze budowany. Edytor zarządza
+treścią bannera (message, przyciski, kategorie, settingsTitle) w panelu,
+localized. Link do polityki prywatności bierze się z system pages
+(`privacyPolicy`), nie z osobnego pola.
+
+## Front — Provider + banner
+
+Provider owija aplikację, banner i button renderują się same. Import z
+`ipal-kit/client`:
+
+```tsx
+// app/(frontend)/[locale]/layout.tsx
+import { ConsentProvider, CookieBanner, CookieButton } from 'ipal-kit/client'
+import { getConsentTexts } from 'ipal-kit'
+
+export default async function Layout({ children, params }) {
+  const { locale } = await params
+  const payload = await getPayload({ config })
+
+  // teksty z CookieSettings + link do polityki z system pages
+  const settings = await payload.findGlobal({ slug: 'site-settings', locale: 'all', depth: 1 })
+  const texts = await getConsentTexts({
+    payload, config: i18nConfig, locale,
+    privacyPolicy: { label: 'Polityka prywatności', page: settings.privacyPolicy },
+  })
+
+  return (
+    <ConsentProvider texts={texts}>
+      {children}
+      <CookieBanner />
+      <CookieButton />
+    </ConsentProvider>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+## Nadpisywanie wyglądu (Poziom 2)
+
+Domyślne klasy Tailwind można nadpisać przez `classNames`:
+
+```tsx
+<CookieBanner classNames={{
+  root: 'fixed inset-x-0 bottom-0 ...',   // Twój layout
+  primaryButton: 'btn btn-primary',        // np. DaisyUI
+  secondaryButton: 'btn btn-ghost',
+}} />
+```
+
+## Gating skryptów wg zgody
+
+```ts
+import { updateConsent, setDefaultConsent } from 'ipal-kit'
+// wysyła sygnały do Google Consent Mode (gtag) na podstawie stanu zgody
+```
+
+Logika (kategorie, storage, parsowanie) też jest dostępna server-safe z
+`ipal-kit`:
+
+```ts
+import { parseConsent, CONSENT_COOKIE, CONSENT_CATEGORIES } from 'ipal-kit'
+// np. gating skryptów server-side na podstawie cookie zgody
+```
+
+## Wygląd — nadpisywanie stylów
+
+Banner i przycisk mają domyślny, neutralny wygląd (light + dark) i działają bez
+żadnej konfiguracji. Kolory i zaokrąglenia idą przez CSS custom properties z
+fallbackami — żeby przestylować pod klienta, zadeklaruj zmienne w swoim CSS.
+Bez importów, bez propsów, bez walki ze specificity:
+
+```css
+/* global.css — wszystko opcjonalne, nadpisz tylko to, co chcesz */
+:root {
+  --ipal-primary: #16a34a;
+  --ipal-primary-hover: #15803d;
+  --ipal-radius: 1rem;
+}
+```
+
+Dostępne tokeny (każdy ma odpowiednik `-dark` używany pod `dark:`):
+
+| Token | Domyślnie | Co koloruje |
+|---|---|---|
+| `--ipal-surface` | `#fff` | tło bannera i przycisku |
+| `--ipal-border` | `#e5e5e5` | obramowania |
+| `--ipal-text` | `#404040` | tekst treści |
+| `--ipal-text-strong` | `#171717` | nagłówki, nazwy kategorii |
+| `--ipal-text-muted` | `#737373` | opisy kategorii |
+| `--ipal-primary` | `#2563eb` | przycisk główny, ikona, link, checkbox |
+| `--ipal-primary-hover` | `#1d4ed8` | hover przycisku głównego |
+| `--ipal-primary-text` | `#fff` | tekst na przycisku głównym |
+| `--ipal-hover` | `#f5f5f5` | hover przycisków drugorzędnych |
+| `--ipal-radius` | `0.375rem` | zaokrąglenie przycisków |
+
+Wymaga `@source` skanującego pakiet (patrz frontend-setup.md) — inaczej Tailwind
+nie wygeneruje tych klas.
+
+### Gdy tokeny nie wystarczą
+
+Układ (odstępy, pozycja, breakpointy) nie jest tokenizowany — to nie jest coś,
+co zmienia się per brand, a wystawienie go oznaczałoby wymyślanie CSS od nowa,
+zmienna po zmiennej. Na większe zmiany są `classNames`:
+
+```tsx
+<CookieBanner classNames={{
+  root: 'fixed inset-0 z-50 grid place-items-center bg-black/50',  // modal zamiast paska
+  primaryButton: 'btn btn-primary',                                 // np. DaisyUI
+  secondaryButton: 'btn btn-ghost',
+}} />
+<CookieButton className="fixed bottom-6 right-6 ..." />
+```
+
+Sloty: `root`, `primaryButton`, `secondaryButton`. Podany className zastępuje
+domyślny (nie dokleja się).
+
+Elementy mają też `data-ipal="banner"` i `data-ipal="cookie-button"` — stabilne
+uchwyty do CSS albo testów e2e.

+# content
+
+Kolekcje, których wpisy żyją pod stroną-archiwum — blog, realizacje, aktualności,
+cokolwiek z listingiem. Wpisy trafiają pod adres w rodzaju `/pl/artykuly/moj-post`,
+a segment `artykuly` nie jest osobną konfiguracją — to slug strony, którą edytor
+wskazał jako archiwum tej kolekcji.
+
+## Model — kto czym jest
+
+```
+kolekcja posts        ──(config)──►  „to kolekcja archiwalna”
+strona „Artykuły”     ──(System Pages)──►  „jestem archiwum kolekcji posts”
+wpis                  ──►  należy do posts, i tyle
+```
+
+Wpis niczego nie wie o swoim adresie. O adresie decyduje przypisanie strony —
+jedno dla całej kolekcji. Zmiana tytułu strony „Artykuły" na „Wpisy" przenosi
+całą sekcję na `/pl/wpisy`, per locale, bez deploya. To jak folder: pliki nie
+tagują się nazwą folderu, folder ma nazwę.
+
+**Kolekcji nie da się dodać z panelu** — Payload trzyma schemat w kodzie. Nowy
+typ treści to zawsze zmiana w kodzie (nowa kolekcja + wpis w configu). Edytor
+zarządza tylko przypisaniem archiwum i jego adresem.
+
+## Config
+
+```ts
+// content.config.ts — współdzielony przez payload.config i front
+import type { ContentOption } from 'ipal-kit'
+
+export const contentConfig: ContentOption = {
+  collections: [
+    { slug: 'posts',    label: 'Artykuły',   perPage: 10 },
+    { slug: 'projects', label: 'Realizacje', perPage: 6 },
+  ],
+}
+```
+
+```ts
+// payload.config.ts
+ipalKit({
+  pages: { slug: 'pages' },     // wymagane — archiwum jest stroną
+  content: contentConfig,
+  seo: { collections: ['pages', 'posts', 'projects'] },  // wpisy też chcą meta
+})
+```
+
+Każda pozycja dodaje w **Site Settings → System Pages** pole relacji
+„{label} — archive page". `slug` to kolekcja klienta, `perPage` steruje
+paginacją listingu.
+
+Osobny plik `content.config.ts` (jak `i18n.config.ts`) jest potrzebny, bo tę samą
+deklarację czytają dwa miejsca: payload.config (żeby dodać pola archiwum) i front
+(router). Jedno źródło prawdy.
+
+## Rozstrzyganie tras — resolveRoute
+
+Serce modułu. Catch-all `[[...slug]]` łapie wszystko, a `resolveRoute` mówi, czym
+dana ścieżka jest:
+
+```ts
+import { resolveRoute } from 'ipal-kit'
+
+const route = await resolveRoute({
+  payload,
+  locale: 'pl',
+  segments: ['artykuly', 'moj-post'],
+  page: 1,                    // z ?page=
+  content: contentConfig,
+  withEntries: false,         // true → dociąga wpisy do archiwum (patrz niżej)
+})
+// route.type: 'home' | 'page' | 'archive' | 'entry' | (null gdy 404)
+```
+
+Logika: pierwszy segment dopasowywany jest do slugów stron-archiwów z System
+Pages. Trafienie → wiadomo, której kolekcji dotyczy. `['artykuly']` → listing
+`posts`; `['artykuly','moj-post']` → wpis w `posts`; brak trafienia → zwykła
+strona.
+
+**Archiwum ma pierwszeństwo przed stroną o tym samym slugu** — inaczej strona
+„artykuly" przesłaniałaby własne wpisy.
+
+**Głębokość tylko `{archiwum}/{wpis}`** — kategorie w ścieżce robiłyby canonical
+niejednoznacznym (ten sam wpis pod wieloma URL-ami), więc `/a/b/c` → null.
+
+**Kolizja slugów:** dwie kolekcje z archiwum o tym samym slugu → wygrywa pierwsza
+z listy `collections`. Błąd konfiguracji, router nie ostrzega.
+
+## Helpery frontu — createContentHelpers
+
+Zamiast pisać cache'owane wrappery w każdym projekcie:
+
+```ts
+// src/lib/content.ts
+import { createContentHelpers } from 'ipal-kit'
+import config from '@/payload.config'
+import { contentConfig } from '@/content.config'
+
+export const { getCachedPayload, getConfiguredLocales, getSettings, resolveRoute } =
+  createContentHelpers({ config, content: contentConfig })
+```
+
+Wszystko owinięte w React `cache()`, a instancja Payloada powstaje **raz** w
+fabryce i jest współdzielona — dlatego to fabryka, nie luźne funkcje. Bez tego
+`cache()` nie dedupikowałby między helperami, a Next woła generateMetadata i
+komponent strony osobno.
+
+`resolveRoute` z fabryki przyjmuje `(locale, segments, page, withEntries?)`.
+
+## withEntries — wpisy tylko gdy trzeba
+
+Archiwum potrzebuje listy wpisów; metadane nie. `withEntries` rozstrzyga:
+
+```ts
+// generateMetadata — bez wpisów (nie płaci za zapytanie)
+const route = await resolveRoute(locale, slug, page)
+
+// komponent strony — z wpisami
+const route = await resolveRoute(locale, slug, page, true)
+// route.entries: { docs, page, totalPages, hasPrevPage, hasNextPage, ... }
+```
+
+Metadane i strona wołają z różnymi argumentami, więc `cache()` traktuje je jako
+osobne wywołania — i słusznie, bo metadane wpisów nie potrzebują.
+
+## Listing
+
+Strona-archiwum to zwykła strona z blokami, więc listing jest **blokiem** (Twoim
+— plugin nie decyduje o wyglądzie listy). Blok dostaje wpisy przez enhanceProps:
+
+```tsx
+// w page.tsx
+const enhanceProps = ({ block }) => {
+  if (block.blockType === 'entriesList' && route.type === 'archive') {
+    return { entries: route.entries, locale, archiveSlug: route.doc.slug }
+  }
+  return {}
+}
+```
+
+Blok nie wie, co listuje — wpisy wstrzykuje trasa na podstawie tego, której
+kolekcji ta strona jest archiwum. Ten sam blok obsługuje `/pl/artykuly` i
+`/pl/realizacje`.
+
+## Ścieżki i paginacja
+
+```ts
+import { buildEntryPath, buildArchivePath, parsePageParam } from 'ipal-kit'
+
+buildEntryPath({ locale: 'pl', archiveSlug: 'artykuly', entrySlug: 'moj-post' })
+// '/pl/artykuly/moj-post'
+
+buildArchivePath({ locale: 'pl', archiveSlug: 'artykuly', page: 2 })
+// '/pl/artykuly?page=2'   (strona 1 bez query)
+
+parsePageParam(searchParams.page)  // '2' → 2; śmieci/undefined → 1
+```
+
+Paginacja przez `?page=`, nie `/2`. Segment ścieżki gryzłby się z wpisem o slugu
+„2", a `/strona/2` dodawałby kolejny zlokalizowany segment do konfiguracji.
+Google rozumie `?page=` od lat, a `rel=next/prev` zostało wycofane.
+
+Canonical strony 2 wskazuje **na siebie** (`?page=2`), nie na stronę 1 — inaczej
+Google uznałby, że wpisów z dalszych stron nie ma. Hreflangi niosą ten sam numer
+(`/en/articles?page=2`). To ogarnia `createPageMetadata` automatycznie, gdy
+przekażesz mu `page` i `content`.
+
+## Metadane wpisów
+
+`createPageMetadata` z opcją `content` sam rozpoznaje wpisy i buduje im poprawny
+canonical/hreflang z prefiksem (patrz seo.md):
+
+```ts
+const pageMetadata = createPageMetadata({
+  config: i18nConfig,
+  baseUrl: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_URL,
+  content: contentConfig,   // ← bez tego wpisy dostają zły adres
+})
+```
+
+## Przełącznik języka
+
+`switchLocalePath` (z i18n) uwzględnia prefiks: polski wpis bez tłumaczenia EN
+prowadzi do archiwum EN (`/en/articles`), nie na stronę główną — najbliżej tego,
+czego szuka odwiedzający.
+
+## Eksport
+
+```ts
+import {
+  resolveRoute,
+  getArchiveEntries,
+  buildArchivePath,
+  buildEntryPath,
+  parsePageParam,
+  createContentHelpers,
+  archiveFieldName,
+} from 'ipal-kit'
+import type { ContentOption, ResolvedRoute, ArchiveEntries } from 'ipal-kit'

+SMTP w env). Jeśli ich potrzebujesz, to osobna konfiguracja adaptera przy
+`buildConfig`.

+# forms
+
+Wpina `@payloadcms/plugin-form-builder` (kolekcje forms + form-submissions) i
+dostarcza `submitForm` — wywoływalną z frontu funkcję, która spina: weryfikację
+Turnstile → zapis zgłoszenia → wysyłkę maili (naszym senderem).
+
+## Zależność
+
+```json
+"dependencies": { "@payloadcms/plugin-form-builder": "3.84.1" }
+```
+
+## Config (payload.config.ts)
+
+```ts
+ipalKit({
+  forms: {
+    redirectRelationships: ['pages'],   // formularz może przekierować na Page
+    // fields: { text: true, textarea: true, email: true, ... },  // domyślnie włączone sensowne
+  },
+})
+```
+
+Dodaje kolekcje **Forms** (edytor buduje formularze) i **Form Submissions**
+(zgłoszenia). Wbudowany email form-buildera jest nieużywany — wysyłką zajmuje
+się `submitForm` przez nasz sender (SMTP z panelu).
+
+## Front — submitForm (server)
+
+Zwykle w Server Action wywoływanej przez formularz. HTML obu maili składasz
+na froncie (Twój wygląd):
+
+```ts
+import { submitForm } from 'ipal-kit/server'
+
+const result = await submitForm({
+  payload,
+  formId,                    // z kolekcji Forms
+  data: { name, email, message },
+  turnstileToken,            // opcjonalny — jeśli podany, weryfikowany
+  ip,
+  emails: {
+    // wiadomość do klienta/admina (np. "nowe zgłoszenie")
+    notification: {
+      to: 'kontakt@klient.pl',
+      subject: 'Nowe zgłoszenie',
+      html: renderAdminEmail(data),   // Twój HTML
+    },
+    // potwierdzenie do wysyłającego
+    confirmation: {
+      to: email,
+      subject: 'Dziękujemy za wiadomość',
+      html: renderUserEmail(data),    // Twój HTML
+    },
+  },
+})
+
+if (result.success) {
+  // result.submissionId
+  // result.emails.notification?.sent / result.emails.confirmation?.sent
+} else {
+  // result.error — np. Turnstile / zapis
+}
+```
+
+## Flow i gwarancje
+
+1. **Turnstile** (jeśli token) → nieudany → odrzuć **przed** zapisem (brak
+   spamu w bazie).
+2. **Zapis** submission (form-submissions).
+3. **Maile** — oba opcjonalne, HTML z frontu.
+4. Zwrot: `{ success, submissionId, emails: { notification?, confirmation? } }`.
+
+**Zapisane zgłoszenie = sukces, nawet gdy mail padnie.** Status wysyłki maili
+jest osobno w `result.emails`, żeby dane zgłoszenia nie ginęły przez chwilową
+awarię SMTP. Front może zareagować (ostrzec, ponowić).
+
+Oba maile opcjonalne — możesz wysłać jeden, drugi, oba lub żaden.
+`turnstileToken` opcjonalny — brak = pominięcie weryfikacji (decydujesz per
+formularz).
+
+## Maile
+
+Plugin nie składa maili formularzy. Po zapisie submission form-builder wysyła
+wiadomości skonfigurowane przez edytora (Forms → formularz → Emails), przez
+`payload.sendEmail`. Żeby wyszły, config musi mieć adapter:
+
+```ts
+email: panelSmtpAdapter(),   // z 'ipal-kit'
+```
+
+Wtedy idą przez SMTP z Site Integrations. Edytor ustawia odbiorców, temat i
+treść (placeholdery: `{{pole}}`, `{{*}}`, `{{*:table}}`) bez dotykania kodu.
+
+`submitForm` odpowiada tylko za weryfikację Turnstile i zapis.
+
+## Własne pola w kolekcji formularzy
+
+`formOverrides` przechodzi prosto do form-buildera — plugin nie ma opinii, czego
+formularz potrzebuje poza swoimi polami:
+
+```ts
+ipalKit({
+  forms: {
+    redirectRelationships: ['pages'],
+    formOverrides: {
+      fields: ({ defaultFields }) => [
+        ...defaultFields,
+        { name: 'internalNote', type: 'textarea' },
+      ],
+      admin: { group: 'Content' },
+    },
+    // formSubmissionOverrides: { ... }   // to samo dla zgłoszeń
+  },
+})
+```
+
+`fields` dostaje domyślne pola kolekcji i zwraca finalną listę — możesz dodawać,
+usuwać, zmieniać kolejność. Poza `fields` przyjmuje dowolne ustawienia kolekcji
+(admin, access, hooks).
+
+## Bezpieczeństwo i wynik zgłoszenia
+
+`submitForm` przechodzi trzy bramki w kolejności rosnącej po koszcie: rate limit
+(in-memory, per IP), Turnstile, walidacja względem schematu formularza. Dopiero
+potem zapis. Flood ginie, zanim dotknie sieci czy bazy.
+
+Walidacja jest istotna, bo server action to publiczny endpoint — da się go wołać
+z pominięciem formularza. Plugin ładuje definicję formularza i: odrzuca nieznane
+klucze, wymusza pola `required`, tnie długość (5000 znaków). Do bazy trafia tylko
+to, co formularz definiuje.
+
+Rate limit: 5/min/IP domyślnie, `maxPerMinute` zmienia, `0` wyłącza (gdy limiter
+jest z przodu). In-memory — przy wielu instancjach licznik jest per-proces, więc
+efektywny limit to per-instancja. Do formularza kontaktowego wystarcza.
+
+### Wynik to KOD, nie tekst
+
+`submitForm` zwraca ustrukturyzowany błąd — plugin mówi CO się stało, projekt
+decyduje JAK to pokazać (język, brzmienie, obsługa per pole):
+
+```ts
+type SubmitFormResult =
+  | { success: true; submissionId: string | number }
+  | { success: false; reason: 'rate_limited' }
+  | { success: false; reason: 'turnstile' }
+  | { success: false; reason: 'validation'; field?: string; kind?: 'required' | 'too_long' | 'unknown_fields' }
+  | { success: false; reason: 'not_found' }
+  | { success: false; reason: 'error' }
+```
+
+Front mapuje kody na własne komunikaty:
+
+```tsx
+function errorMessage(r) {
+  switch (r.reason) {
+    case 'rate_limited': return 'Zbyt wiele zgłoszeń...'
+    case 'validation':
+      if (r.kind === 'required') return 'Uzupełnij wymagane pola.'
+      // r.field → podświetl konkretne pole
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Ten sam wzorzec co consent: plugin nie zaszywa języka, oddaje dane.

+# Frontend — wymagane implementacje
+
+Co projekt klienta musi zrobić na froncie, żeby plugin działał. Zebrane z
+realnego wdrożenia (ipal-test). W przyszłości → pełny poradnik "first setup".
+
+## Wymagania środowiska
+
+### Tailwind CSS (WYMÓG)
+
+Komponenty pluginu (CookieBanner, Turnstile widget, i inne) są w czystym
+Tailwind. Klient MUSI mieć Tailwind + skanować pakiet pluginu:
+
+```bash
+pnpm add tailwindcss @tailwindcss/postcss   # v4
+```
+
+`postcss.config.mjs` (root):
+```js
+export default { plugins: { '@tailwindcss/postcss': {} } }
+```
+
+W globalnym CSS (np. app/(frontend)/styles.css):
+```css
+@import "tailwindcss";
+@source "../../../node_modules/ipal-kit/dist/**/*.js";
+```
+
+**@source jest kluczowy** — Tailwind domyślnie NIE skanuje node_modules, więc
+bez tego klasy komponentów pluginu się nie wygenerują (komponenty renderują
+się bez stylów). Ścieżka relatywna do pliku CSS.
+
+### Przestylowanie pod klienta
+
+Komponenty pluginu (CookieBanner, CookieButton) mają domyślny wygląd i działają
+bez konfiguracji. Kolory/zaokrąglenia przez CSS custom properties z fallbackami
+— nadpisz w swoim CSS:
+
+```css
+:root {
+  --ipal-primary: #16a34a;
+  --ipal-radius: 1rem;
+}
+```
+
+Pełna lista tokenów + opcja classNames (gdy tokeny nie starczą): docs/consent.md.
+Bloki są Twoje — plugin ich nie stylizuje, RenderBlocks nie dodaje markupu.
+
+### Wymagane zależności (transitive)
+
+Instalacja z npm zaciąga automatycznie. Przy lokalnym tarballu doinstaluj:
+```
+@payloadcms/plugin-seo @payloadcms/plugin-form-builder nodemailer
+lucide-react slugify server-only
+```
+
+### Spójność wersji @payloadcms/*
+
+pnpm.overrides wymuszające jedną wersję (patrz README).
+
+### generate:importmap
+
+Po wpięciu pluginu: `pnpm payload generate:importmap` (dla pól SEO w adminie).
+
+## Struktura tras (lokalizacja)
+
+```
+src/app/(frontend)/
+  layout.tsx                    # root (<html><body>) — istniejący
+  [locale]/
+    layout.tsx                  # walidacja locale + ConsentProvider
+    [[...slug]]/
+      page.tsx                  # render strony (bloki)
+```
+
+**[[...slug]] MUSI być podwójny nawias** (opcjonalny catch-all):
+- `[slug]` → string (błąd `slug.join is not a function`)
+- `[[...slug]]` → tablica (poprawne), łapie /pl (home) i /pl/o-nas jednym plikiem
+
+## i18n — jedno źródło prawdy
+
+Wydziel config locale do osobnego pliku, importuj wszędzie:
+
+```ts
+// src/i18n.config.ts
+export const i18nConfig = {
+  defaultLocale: 'pl',
+  locales: [
+    { code: 'pl', label: 'Polski' },
+    { code: 'en', label: 'English' },
+  ],
+} as const   // as const — inaczej TS: locales nie pasuje do niepustej tuple
+```
+
+Importuj w: payload.config (ipalKit({ i18n: i18nConfig })), middleware.ts.
+Layout może czytać locale z payload config (config.localization.locales) —
+też jedno źródło.
+
+## Middleware
+
+```ts
+// src/middleware.ts
+import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
+import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'
+import { createLocaleMiddleware } from 'ipal-kit/next/middleware'
+import { i18nConfig } from '@/i18n.config'
+
+const localeMiddleware = createLocaleMiddleware({ config: i18nConfig })
+
+export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
+  const result = localeMiddleware(request)
+  if (result.type === 'next') return NextResponse.next()
+  const response = NextResponse.redirect(result.location)
+  response.cookies.set(result.cookie.name, result.cookie.value)
+  return response
+}
+
+// matcher MUSI być inline (Next analizuje statycznie, nie wykonuje importów —
+// import DEFAULT_MIDDLEWARE_MATCHER byłby zignorowany → middleware łapie
+// /admin /_next /api → 500)
+export const config = {
+  matcher: ['/((?!api|admin|_next|.*\\..*).*)'],
+}
+```
+
+## Rozwiązywanie strony (page.tsx)
+
+- brak slug (/pl) → home przez System Pages (settings.homepage), NIE hardkod slug
+- slug (/pl/o-nas) → payload.find by slug w danym locale
+- depth: 2 → żeby relacje w blokach (form) się populowały
+
+## Consent (layout [locale])
+
+Layout (server) czyta getConsentTexts, przekazuje jako prop do ConsentProvider
+(client). Banner + button renderują się same:
+
+```ts
+import { getConsentTexts } from 'ipal-kit'
+import { ConsentProvider, CookieBanner, CookieButton } from 'ipal-kit/client'
+
+const texts = await getConsentTexts({ config, locale, payload, privacyPolicy })
+// <ConsentProvider texts={texts}>{children}<CookieBanner/><CookieButton/></ConsentProvider>
+```
+
+## Bloki (RenderBlocks)
+
+Klient definiuje bloki (config + komponent) — plugin jest block-agnostic.
+
+- `blocks/<Nazwa>/config.ts` — schemat Payload (Block)
+- `blocks/<Nazwa>/Component.tsx` — komponent (dane bloku jako propsy)
+- `blocks/registry.ts` — mapa blockType → komponent
+- Pages: pole `layout` typu blocks z listą bloków
+- page.tsx: `<RenderBlocks blocks={doc.layout} components={registry} />`
+
+**Puste blocks: [] crashuje** (traverseFields) — zawsze z co najmniej jednym
+blokiem.
+
+enhanceProps — wstrzykiwanie server-side wartości do bloku bez wiedzy pluginu
+(np. turnstileSiteKey, email do FormBlock):
+```ts
+const enhanceProps = ({ block }) => {
+  if (block.blockType === 'formBlock') return { turnstileSiteKey, notificationTo }
+  return {}
+}
+```
+
+## Formularz (FormBlock)
+
+- FormRenderer (client) — renderuje pola form-buildera (text/email/select/
+  country/checkbox/textarea/number/state/message)
+- Turnstile widget (ipal-kit/client) — siteKey jako prop, wstrzykiwany przez
+  enhanceProps (z SiteIntegrations, publiczny — bezpieczny na kliencie)
+- server action → submitForm (ipal-kit/server) — weryfikuje Turnstile i zapisuje
+
+Maili NIE składa się w kodzie. Po zapisie submission form-builder sam wysyła
+wiadomości skonfigurowane przez edytora (Forms → dany formularz → Emails:
+Email To / CC / BCC / Subject / Message z placeholderami {{pole}}, {{*}},
+{{*:table}}). Idą przez payload.sendEmail → panelSmtpAdapter → SMTP z panelu.
+
+Wymaga w payload.config:
+
+```ts
+import { ipalKit, panelSmtpAdapter } from 'ipal-kit'
+
+export default buildConfig({
+  email: panelSmtpAdapter(),
+  plugins: [ipalKit({ ... })],
+})
+```
+
+Wymaga w SiteIntegrations: SMTP (host, port, user, password, from) + Turnstile.
+Turnstile testowe klucze Cloudflare (zawsze pass):
+site 1x00000000000000000000AA, secret 1x0000000000000000000000000000000AA.
+
+Walidacja server-side (limit długości pól) w actions.ts — browserowy `required`
+da się obejść wołając akcję bezpośrednio.
+
+## Metadata (SEO na froncie)
+
+createMetadataGenerator zwraca funkcję `({ payload, params, locale })` — Next
+woła `generateMetadata({ params })` bez payload/locale, a plugin nigdy nie
+wywołuje getPayload sam, więc klient opakowuje:
+
+```ts
+const generate = createMetadataGenerator({
+  config: i18nConfig,
+  baseUrl: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_URL,
+  homeSlug: 'homepage',              // home zwija się do /pl, nie /pl/homepage
+  resolveDocument: async ({ params, locale }) => { ... },  // locale: 'all'!
+  resolveSiteName: async ({ locale }) => { ... },
+  resolveImageUrl: async ({ doc }) => { ... },
+})
+
+export async function generateMetadata({ params }) {
+  const { locale, slug } = await params
+  const payload = await getPayload({ config: await config })
+  return generate({ payload, params: { slug: slug ?? [] }, locale })
+}
+```
+
+resolveDocument MUSI pobrać dokument z `locale: 'all'` — wtedy `slug` jest mapą
+locale→wartość, z której budowane są hreflang alternates. Zwykły fetch (jeden
+locale) da tylko string i hreflang nie powstanie.
+
+Next uruchamia generateMetadata i komponent strony niezależnie — bez React
+cache() każde żądanie odpytuje bazę dwa razy o ten sam dokument.
+
+## Analytics
+
+W layoucie [locale], WEWNĄTRZ ConsentProvider (Analytics ustawia Consent Mode
+ze stored choice, zanim załaduje tag):
+
+```ts
+const analytics = await getAnalyticsConfig(payload)   // tylko publiczne GA4/GTM ID
+// <ConsentProvider texts={texts}> ... <Analytics {...analytics} /> </ConsentProvider>
+```
+
+ID z SiteIntegrations. GTM ma priorytet nad GA4, gdy oba ustawione.

+# Nowy projekt — krok po kroku
+
+Od pustego katalogu do działającej, wielojęzycznej strony z blokami, consentem i
+formularzem. Kolejność jest istotna: kilka kroków zależy od poprzednich (schemat
+bazy, importMap, kolejność wpięcia).
+
+Zakłada: pnpm, Node 20+, SQLite (dla Postgres zmienia się tylko adapter).
+
+---
+
+## 1. Szkielet Payloada
+
+```bash
+npx create-payload-app@latest moj-projekt
+# → Blank, SQLite
+cd moj-projekt
+```
+
+## 2. Instalacja IPAL
+
+```bash
+pnpm add ipal-kit
+pnpm add @payloadcms/plugin-seo@3.84.1 @payloadcms/plugin-form-builder@3.84.1 \
+         nodemailer lucide-react slugify server-only
+```
+
+Wersje `@payloadcms/*` **muszą** zgadzać się z wersją `payload` — inaczej
+zagnieżdżone pluginy się nie wpinają (pusty tab SEO, brak kolekcji Forms) albo
+projekt się wywala. Wymuś w `package.json`:
+
+```json
+"pnpm": {
+  "overrides": {
+    "payload": "3.84.1",
+    "@payloadcms/ui": "3.84.1",
+    "@payloadcms/next": "3.84.1",
+    "@payloadcms/db-sqlite": "3.84.1",
+    "@payloadcms/richtext-lexical": "3.84.1",
+    "@payloadcms/plugin-seo": "3.84.1",
+    "@payloadcms/plugin-form-builder": "3.84.1"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+```bash
+rm -rf node_modules pnpm-lock.yaml && pnpm install
+```
+
+## 3. Konfiguracja locale — jedno źródło
+
+Middleware działa przed Payloadem i potrzebuje listy locale synchronicznie, więc
+nie może jej czytać z gotowego configu. Wydziel osobny plik i importuj w obu
+miejscach:
+
+```ts
+// src/i18n.config.ts
+export const i18nConfig = {
+  defaultLocale: 'pl',
+  locales: [
+    { code: 'pl', label: 'Polski' },
+    { code: 'en', label: 'English' },
+  ],
+} as const
+```
+
+`as const` jest konieczne — bez niego TS nie uzna `locales` za niepustą listę.
+
+## 4. payload.config.ts
+
+```ts
+import { ipalKit, panelSmtpAdapter } from 'ipal-kit'
+import { i18nConfig } from '@/i18n.config'
+import { Pages } from '@/collections/Pages'
+
+export default buildConfig({
+  // …reszta z template'u
+  collections: [Users, Media, Pages],
+
+  // SMTP z panelu zamiast env — czyta Site Integrations przy każdym wysłaniu.
+  // Bez tego maile form-buildera nie wyjdą (Payload podstawia mocka).
+  email: panelSmtpAdapter(),
+
+  plugins: [
+    ipalKit({
+      i18n: i18nConfig,
+      access: { authCollection: 'users' },
+      pages: { slug: 'pages' },
+      seo: { collections: ['pages'] },
+      forms: { redirectRelationships: ['pages'] },
+    }),
+  ],
+})
+```
+
+## 5. Kolekcja Pages
+
+```ts
+// src/collections/Pages.ts
+import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
+import { buildSlugField } from 'ipal-kit'
+import { ContentBlock } from '@/blocks/Content/config'
+
+export const Pages: CollectionConfig = {
+  slug: 'pages',
+  admin: { useAsTitle: 'title' },
+  access: { read: () => true },
+  fields: [
+    { name: 'title', type: 'text', required: true, localized: true },
+    buildSlugField({ from: 'title' }),
+    {
+      name: 'layout',
+      type: 'blocks',
+      blocks: [ContentBlock],   // NIGDY pusta lista — Payload się wywala
+    },
+  ],
+}
+```
+
+## 6. Pierwszy blok
+
+Bloki należą do projektu — plugin ich nie zna i nie stylizuje.
+
+```ts
+// src/blocks/Content/config.ts
+import type { Block } from 'payload'
+
+export const ContentBlock: Block = {
+  slug: 'content',
+  fields: [
+    { name: 'heading', type: 'text', localized: true },
+    { name: 'body', type: 'textarea', localized: true, required: true },
+  ],
+}
+```
+
+```tsx
+// src/blocks/Content/Component.tsx
+export function ContentBlockComponent({ heading, body }: { heading?: string; body?: string }) {
+  return (
+    <section className="mx-auto max-w-3xl px-4 py-12">
+      {heading && <h2 className="mb-4 text-2xl font-bold">{heading}</h2>}
+      {body && <p className="whitespace-pre-line leading-relaxed">{body}</p>}
+    </section>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+```ts
+// src/blocks/registry.ts
+import type { BlockComponentMap } from 'ipal-kit/rsc'
+import { ContentBlockComponent } from '@/blocks/Content/Component'
+
+export const blockRegistry: BlockComponentMap = {
+  content: ContentBlockComponent,
+}
+```
+
+Klucz w rejestrze = `slug` bloku.
+
+## 7. Tailwind
+
+Blank template go nie ma, a komponenty pluginu (banner cookies) są w Tailwindzie.
+
+```bash
+pnpm add tailwindcss @tailwindcss/postcss
+```
+
+```js
+// postcss.config.mjs (root)
+export default { plugins: { '@tailwindcss/postcss': {} } }
+```
+
+```css
+/* src/app/(frontend)/styles.css — na górze */
+@import "tailwindcss";
+@source "../../../node_modules/ipal-kit/dist/**/*.js";
+```
+
+`@source` jest **konieczny** — Tailwind nie skanuje `node_modules`, więc bez
+niego klasy komponentów pluginu nie powstaną i banner wyrenderuje się goły.
+Ścieżka jest relatywna do pliku CSS.
+
+## 8. Middleware
+
+```ts
+// src/middleware.ts
+import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
+import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'
+import { createLocaleMiddleware } from 'ipal-kit/next/middleware'
+import { i18nConfig } from '@/i18n.config'
+
+const localeMiddleware = createLocaleMiddleware({ config: i18nConfig })
+
+export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
+  const result = localeMiddleware(request)
+  if (result.type === 'next') return NextResponse.next()
+
+  const response = NextResponse.redirect(result.location)
+  response.cookies.set(result.cookie.name, result.cookie.value)
+  return response
+}
+
+// INLINE, nie import — Next analizuje ten obiekt statycznie i nie wykonuje
+// importów. Importowana stała zostanie zignorowana, middleware złapie /admin
+// i /_next, i wszystko zwróci 500.
+export const config = {
+  matcher: ['/((?!api|admin|_next|.*\\..*).*)'],
+}
+```
+
+## 9. Warstwa dostępu do danych
+
+Next uruchamia `generateMetadata` i komponent strony niezależnie — `cache()`
+sprawia, że nie pytają bazy dwa razy o to samo.
+
+```ts
+// src/lib/payload.ts
+import { cache } from 'react'
+import { getPayload } from 'payload'
+import config from '@/payload.config'
+
+export const getCachedPayload = cache(async () => getPayload({ config: await config }))
+
+export const getSettings = cache(async (locale: string) =>
+  (await getCachedPayload()).findGlobal({
+    slug: 'site-settings',
+    locale: locale as 'pl' | 'en',
+    depth: 2,
+  }),
+)
+```
+
+```ts
+// src/lib/locales.ts
+import { cache } from 'react'
+import config from '@/payload.config'
+
+export const getConfiguredLocales = cache(async (): Promise<string[]> => {
+  const payloadConfig = await config
+  return payloadConfig.localization ? payloadConfig.localization.locales.map((l) => l.code) : []
+})
+```
+
+```ts
+// src/lib/pages.ts
+import { cache } from 'react'
+import type { Page, SiteSetting } from '@/payload-types'
+import { getCachedPayload, getSettings } from './payload'
+
+export const resolvePage = cache(
+  async (locale: string, slugPath: string | null): Promise<Page | null> => {
+    if (!slugPath) {

+
+## 10. Trasy
+
+Usuń starter — `(frontend)/layout.tsx` i `(frontend)/page.tsx`. Rootem zostaje
+layout locale, bo `<html lang>` musi znać język, a `(frontend)` jest ponad
+segmentem `[locale]`. Każdy trafia na ścieżkę z locale — middleware przekierowuje.
+
+```
+src/app/(frontend)/
+  styles.css
+  [locale]/
+    layout.tsx
+    [[...slug]]/
+      page.tsx
+```
+
+`[[...slug]]` — **podwójne** nawiasy. Pojedyncze `[slug]` dają string zamiast
+tablicy (`slug.join is not a function`) i nie łapią samego `/pl`.
+
+```tsx
+// src/app/(frontend)/[locale]/layout.tsx
+import { notFound } from 'next/navigation'
+import { getConsentTexts, getAnalyticsConfig } from 'ipal-kit'
+import { ConsentProvider, CookieBanner, CookieButton, Analytics } from 'ipal-kit/client'

+
+```bash
+# .env
+DATABASE_URL=file:./moj-projekt.db
+PAYLOAD_SECRET=<losowy-ciąg>
+NEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:3000
+```
+
+Bez `NEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_URL` canonical i hreflang wyjdą względne.
+
+## 12. Generowanie i start
+
+```bash
+pnpm generate:types
+pnpm payload generate:importmap   # pola SEO to komponenty admina
+pnpm dev
+```
+
+`generate:importmap` powtarzaj po każdej zmianie, która dokłada komponenty
+admina.
+
+## 13. Konfiguracja w panelu
+
+`http://localhost:3000/admin`
+
+1. **Utwórz pierwszego użytkownika** (dostanie rolę admin).
+2. **Site Settings → General** — nazwa witryny, kolejność i separator tytułu.
+3. **Pages** — utwórz stronę główną. Wypełnij tytuł **w każdym locale**
+   (przełącznik u góry) — slug generuje się per język, a pusty slug w EN oznacza
+   404 na `/en/…`.
+4. **Site Settings → System Pages** — wskaż Homepage. Bez tego `/pl` da 404.
+5. **Cookie Settings** — treść bannera (bez tego lecą angielskie domyślne).
+
+Wejdź na `/` — powinno przekierować na `/pl` i pokazać stronę.
+
+---
+
+## Rzeczy opcjonalne
+
+### Formularz z Turnstile
+
+Wymaga bloku formularza w projekcie (patrz forms.md) oraz:
+
+- **Site Integrations → Turnstile** — site key i secret. Klucze testowe
+  Cloudflare (zawsze przechodzą): site `1x00000000000000000000AA`, secret
+  `1x0000000000000000000000000000000AA`.
+- **Site Integrations → SMTP** — host, port, user, hasło, adres nadawcy.
+- **Forms → dany formularz → Emails** — odbiorca, temat, treść (`{{*:table}}`
+  wypisze wszystkie pola tabelką). Maile wysyła form-builder przez
+  `panelSmtpAdapter` — nie pisze się ich w kodzie.
+
+
+### Blog / archiwum (kolekcja pod stroną-archiwum)
+
+Pełny opis: content.md. W skrócie:
+
+1. **Kolekcja** `src/collections/Posts.ts` — tytuł (localized), `buildSlugField`,
+   pola, bloki. Dodaj ją do `collections` w payload.config.
+
+2. **content.config.ts** obok i18n.config.ts:
+```ts
+import type { ContentOption } from 'ipal-kit'
+export const contentConfig: ContentOption = {
+  collections: [{ slug: 'posts', label: 'Artykuły', perPage: 10 }],
+}
+```
+
+3. **payload.config** — `content: contentConfig`, plus `posts` w `seo.collections`.
+
+4. **Front** — `createContentHelpers` w `src/lib/content.ts`, `resolveRoute`
+   w page.tsx (obsługa typów page/archive/entry), blok listy (EntriesList).
+
+5. **Baza + typy** — nowa kolekcja to nowy schemat:
+```bash
+rm -f *.db *.db-shm *.db-wal && pnpm generate:types && pnpm dev
+```
+
+6. **W panelu** — utwórz stronę „Artykuły" (w każdym locale!), dodaj do niej blok
+   listy, w System Pages przypisz ją jako archiwum kolekcji posts. Dodaj wpisy.
+
+Adres wpisów = slug strony-archiwum. Zmiana tytułu strony przenosi sekcję. Kolejny
+typ treści (realizacje) = kolejna kolekcja + kolejna pozycja w content.config.
+
+### Analytics
+
+**Site Integrations** → GA4 Measurement ID albo GTM Container ID. Tagi ładują
+się z Consent Mode: nic nie zapisze ciasteczek, dopóki odwiedzający nie
+zaakceptuje kategorii Analytics.
+
+### Przestylowanie pod klienta
+
+```css
+/* styles.css */
+:root {
+  --ipal-primary: #16a34a;
+  --ipal-radius: 1rem;
+}
+```
+
+Pełna lista tokenów: consent.md.
+
+---
+
+## Kiedy coś nie działa
+
+| Objaw | Przyczyna |
+|---|---|
+| Pusty tab SEO / brak kolekcji Forms | rozjazd wersji `@payloadcms/*` — sprawdź `pnpm.overrides` |
+| `PayloadComponent not found in importMap` | `pnpm payload generate:importmap` |
+| Banner bez stylów | brak `@source` na `node_modules/ipal-kit` albo brak Tailwinda |
+| `/admin` i `/_next` zwracają 500 | matcher w middleware nie jest inline |
+| `slug.join is not a function` | katalog `[slug]` zamiast `[[...slug]]` |
+| `/pl` → 404 | Homepage nieustawiony w System Pages |
+| `/en/cokolwiek` → 404, `/pl/cokolwiek` działa | pusty tytuł (a więc i slug) w locale EN |
+| `Missing <html> and <body>` | root layout usunięty, a `[locale]/layout.tsx` ich nie ma |
+| `SQLITE_ERROR: index … already exists` | zmiana schematu — usuń `*.db *.db-shm *.db-wal` |
+| Zmiany w pluginie nie widać | Turbopack cache — `rm -rf .next` |
+| Maile nie wychodzą | brak `email: panelSmtpAdapter()` w configu albo pusty SMTP w panelu |
+| GTM ładuje się, brak `_ga` | pusty kontener — GTM sam nie ustawia ciasteczek, potrzebny opublikowany tag GA4 |
+| `/pl/artykuly` → 404 | strona nieprzypisana jako archiwum w System Pages |
+| brak pola „archive page" w panelu | brak `content` w configu albo `generate:importmap` po dodaniu |
+| wpis 404 mimo że istnieje | slug pusty w tym locale — wypełnij tytuł w danym języku |

+# i18n
+
+Lokalizacja: konfiguracja locali dla Payload, negocjacja języka
+(cookie / Accept-Language / default), budowanie ścieżek locale-aware,
+przełączanie języka bez 404.
+
+## Config (payload.config.ts)
+
+```ts
+ipalKit({
+  i18n: {
+    defaultLocale: 'pl',
+    locales: [
+      { code: 'pl', label: 'Polski' },
+      { code: 'en', label: 'English' },
+      // { code: 'ar', label: 'العربية', rtl: true },
+    ],
+    // fallback: true,  // domyślnie true
+  },
+})
+```
+
+Plugin ustawia `config.localization` z tego. Walidacja jest eager (fail-fast
+przy starcie): pusta lista, duplikaty kodów, `defaultLocale` spoza listy,
+zły format kodu → błąd `[ipal] i18n: ...`.
+
+## Front — helpery
+
+Wszystkie helpery są czyste (przyjmują config jako argument). Trzymaj swój
+`i18nConfig` w jednym miejscu i importuj gdzie trzeba.
+
+```ts
+import {
+  getLocaleCodes, getDefaultLocale, isValidLocale, getLocaleDefinition,
+  negotiateLocale, buildLocalizedPath, switchLocalePath,
+  getLocalizedSlugs, LOCALE_COOKIE_NAME,
+} from 'ipal-kit'
+
+const config = { defaultLocale: 'pl', locales: [{code:'pl',label:'Polski'},{code:'en',label:'English'}] }
+
+getLocaleCodes(config)              // ['pl', 'en']
+isValidLocale('de', config)         // false
+```
+
+### Budowanie ścieżek
+
+```ts
+// dokument pobrany z locale:'all' → slug to mapa { pl, en }
+const doc = await payload.findByID({ collection: 'pages', id, locale: 'all' })
+const slugs = getLocalizedSlugs({ slugField: doc.slug, config })
+// { pl: 'o-nas', en: 'about' }
+
+buildLocalizedPath({ slugs, locale: 'en', config })   // '/en/about'
+// home slug ('home') zwija się do roota:
+buildLocalizedPath({ slugs: { en: 'home' }, locale: 'en', config })  // '/en'
+```
+
+### Przełącznik języka (bez 404)
+
+```ts
+// /pl/strona-glowna → klik EN → /en/home (albo /en jeśli brak tłumaczenia)
+const href = switchLocalePath({ slugs, targetLocale: 'en', config })
+router.push(href)
+```
+
+`switchLocalePath` nigdy nie zwraca undefined — brak slug w danym locale →
+fallback na `/{locale}` (root), zamiast dead-endu na 404.
+
+## Middleware — patrz osobno
+
+Negocjacja locale + redirect na wejściu (`domena.com` → `/pl`) jest w
+`ipal-kit/next/middleware`. Zobacz [middleware w tej sekcji](#middleware)
+niżej.
+
+## Middleware
+
+```ts
+// next-middleware.ts (projekt klienta) — jedyna logika to podłączenie
+import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
+import { createLocaleMiddleware, DEFAULT_MIDDLEWARE_MATCHER } from 'ipal-kit/next/middleware'
+
+const i18nConfig = {
+  defaultLocale: 'pl',
+  locales: [{ code: 'pl', label: 'Polski' }, { code: 'en', label: 'English' }],
+}
+const localeMiddleware = createLocaleMiddleware({ config: i18nConfig })
+
+export function middleware(req) {
+  const r = localeMiddleware(req)
+  if (r.type === 'next') return NextResponse.next()
+  const res = NextResponse.redirect(r.location)
+  res.cookies.set(r.cookie.name, r.cookie.value)
+  return res
+}
+
+export const config = { matcher: DEFAULT_MIDDLEWARE_MATCHER }
+```
+
+Zachowanie:
+- ścieżka z locale (`/pl/...`) → przepuść
+- root albo ścieżka bez locale (`/`, `/o-nas`) → redirect na `/{locale}...`,
+  locale z: cookie → Accept-Language → default
+- wybrany locale zapisany w cookie (`LOCALE_COOKIE_NAME`)
+
+`DEFAULT_MIDDLEWARE_MATCHER` wyklucza `api`, `admin`, `_next`, pliki statyczne.

+System pages: centralne przypisanie ról (homepage / privacyPolicy /
+cookiePolicy) do dokumentów z klienckiej kolekcji Pages, w SiteSettings.
+Front rozwiązuje rolę na ścieżkę locale-aware.
+
+## Config (payload.config.ts)
+
+```ts
+ipalKit({
+  pages: {
+    slug: 'pages',   // slug Twojej kolekcji Pages
+    // roles: ['homepage', 'privacyPolicy', 'cookiePolicy'],  // domyślnie wszystkie
+  },
+})
+```
+
+Dodaje tab **System Pages** w SiteSettings z polami relationship do Twojej
+kolekcji Pages. Edytor wybiera, który dokument pełni którą rolę. Plugin nie
+zna Twojej kolekcji — slug podajesz w opcji.
+
+## Front — rozwiązanie ścieżki roli
+
+```ts
+import { getSystemPagePath } from 'ipal-kit'
+
+// SiteSettings z locale:'all' + depth:1 (żeby relationship był obiektem, nie ID)
+const settings = await payload.findGlobal({
+  slug: 'site-settings', locale: 'all', depth: 1,
+})
+
+// homepage w locale 'pl'
+getSystemPagePath({ page: settings.homepage, locale: 'pl', config })
+// → '/pl' (home slug zwija się do roota) lub '/pl/strona-glowna'
+
+// polityka prywatności w 'en'
+getSystemPagePath({ page: settings.privacyPolicy, locale: 'en', config })
+// → '/en/privacy-policy'
+```
+
+Zwraca `undefined`, gdy rola nieprzypisana lub dokument nie ma slug w danym
+locale — caller decyduje o fallbacku (404, redirect).
+
+## Typowy przypadek: `/{locale}` → strona główna
+
+W trasie `[locale]/page.tsx` czytasz `settings.homepage`, bierzesz jego slug
+w bieżącym locale i renderujesz ten dokument. Link do polityki prywatności w
+stopce / bannerze cookies bierzesz z `getSystemPagePath({ role: privacyPolicy })`.
+

+
+## Config
+
+Brak — te globale są zawsze budowane przez plugin. Nie ma osobnej opcji.

+// SiteSettings (publiczne — siteName, logo, favicon, theme, system pages)
+const settings = await getSiteSettings<SiteSetting>(payload, { locale: 'pl' })
+
+// SiteIntegrations (admin-only; Local API omija access control)
+const integrations = await getSiteIntegrations<SiteIntegration>(payload)
+```
+
+Generyk `<T>` pozwala wstrzyknąć wygenerowany typ klienta. Bez niego zwraca
+`Record<string, unknown>`.
+
+## ⚠️ SiteIntegrations zawiera sekrety
+
+Local API domyślnie omija access control (`overrideAccess: true`), więc
+`getSiteIntegrations` **zwróci sekrety** (SMTP password, Turnstile secret,
+R2 keys) mimo bariery admin-only na globalu. To zamierzone — logika serwerowa
+tego potrzebuje.
+
+**Nigdy nie przekazuj surowego wyniku do przeglądarki.** Czytaj konkretne

+nie `turnstileSecretKey`):
+

+Wpina `@payloadcms/plugin-seo` (pola meta w kolekcjach) i dodaje warstwę
+logiki: składanie tytułów, budowanie `Metadata` dla Next.js z canonical i
+hreflang, auto-fill pustych meta z treści dokumentu.
+
+## Zależność
+
+Dodaj do `dependencies` (pin do wersji payload):
+
+```json
+"dependencies": { "@payloadcms/plugin-seo": "3.84.1" }
+```
+
+## Config (payload.config.ts)
+
+```ts
+ipalKit({
+  seo: {
+    collections: ['pages', 'posts'],   // które kolekcje dostają meta
+    // generateTitle: ({ doc }) => `${doc.title}`,          // opcjonalne

+Auto-fill: hook `beforeChange` wypełnia puste `meta.title` z pola dokumentu
+(domyślnie `title`). Nigdy nie nadpisuje tego, co edytor wpisał ręcznie.
+
+## Front — generateMetadata (factory)
+
+Najprościej: factory redukuje boilerplate. Klient podaje resolvery (bo zna
+swoje kolekcje/routing), plugin składa metadata.
+
+```ts
+// app/(frontend)/[locale]/[[...segments]]/page.tsx
+import { createMetadataGenerator } from 'ipal-kit'
+import { getSiteSettings } from 'ipal-kit'
+
+const gen = createMetadataGenerator({
+  config: i18nConfig,
+  baseUrl: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_URL,
+  resolveDocument: async ({ payload, params, locale }) => {
+    const slug = /* z params */ ''
+    const res = await payload.find({
+      collection: 'pages',
+      where: { slug: { equals: slug } },
+      locale: 'all', depth: 1, limit: 1,
+    })
+    return res.docs[0] ?? null   // musi mieć .meta i .slug (locale:'all')
+  },
+  resolveSiteName: async ({ payload, locale }) =>
+    (await getSiteSettings(payload, { locale })).siteName ?? null,
+})
+
+export async function generateMetadata({ params }) {
+  const payload = await getPayload({ config })
+  const { locale } = await params
+  return gen({ payload, params: await params, locale })
+}
+```
+
+## Front — niżej: buildMetadata bezpośrednio
+
+Jeśli chcesz pełną kontrolę zamiast factory:
+
+```ts
+import { buildMetadata, getLocalizedSlugs } from 'ipal-kit'
+
+const doc = await payload.findByID({ collection: 'pages', id, locale: 'all', depth: 1 })
+
+return buildMetadata({
+  meta: doc.meta,                                    // z plugin-seo
+  siteName: settings.siteName,
+  imageUrl: /* url OG image */,
+  locale: 'pl',
+  slugs: getLocalizedSlugs({ slugField: doc.slug, config }),
+  config,
+  baseUrl: 'https://example.com',
+})
+// → { title, description, openGraph, alternates: { canonical, languages } }
+```
+
+## Pomocnicze
+
+```ts
+import { composeTitle, buildHreflangAlternates } from 'ipal-kit'
+
+composeTitle({ pageTitle: 'O nas', siteName: 'Acme' })   // 'O nas | Acme'
+buildHreflangAlternates({ slugs, config, baseUrl })      // { pl: '...', en: '...' }

+czyta secret server-side.
+
+## Config
+
+Brak opcji — pola `turnstileSiteKey` / `turnstileSecretKey` są w
+SiteIntegrations (tab Turnstile). Edytor wpisuje klucze w panelu.
+
+## Front — widget (client)
+
+Import z `ipal-kit/client`. `siteKey` pobierz server-side i przekaż jako prop:
+
+```tsx
+// server component — pobiera publiczny siteKey z panelu
+import { getSiteIntegrations } from 'ipal-kit'
+
+const { turnstileSiteKey } = await getSiteIntegrations(payload)
+// przekaż do swojego client-formularza → widget
+```
+
+```tsx
+'use client'

+import { useState } from 'react'
+

+      <button disabled={!token}>Wyślij</button>
+    </form>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+Widget ładuje skrypt Turnstile sam (bez `next/script`), zwraca token przez
+`onToken` (null przy wygaśnięciu/błędzie).
+
+## Front — verify (server)
+
+```ts
+import { verifyTurnstile } from 'ipal-kit/server'
+
+const ok = await verifyTurnstile({ token, payload, ip })
+if (!ok) {
+  // odrzuć zgłoszenie
+}
+```
+
+`verifyTurnstile` czyta secret z SiteIntegrations (Local API), woła Cloudflare.
+Zwraca `false` na każdy problem (brak klucza, sieć, odrzucenie) — traktuj
+`false` jako „nie ufaj temu zgłoszeniu". `server-only` gwarantuje, że nie
+trafi do bundla przeglądarki.
+
+> W formularzach zwykle nie wołasz `verifyTurnstile` wprost — robi to
+> `submitForm` (patrz [forms.md](./forms.md)).
