Description

Description

There is no visual indicator showing whether the current project is saved, unsaved, or auto-saving.

Expected Behavior

Add a subtle save status badge next to the project name in the editor header showing:

  • "Saved" (with checkmark) when all changes are persisted
  • "Saving..." (with spinner) during auto-save
  • "Unsaved changes" when there are pending changes

Files

  • apps/web/src/components/editor/editor-header.tsx
  • apps/web/src/core/managers/save-manager.ts

Research direction

Start in apps/web/src/components/editor/editor-header.tsx and inspect how the header is assembled, then read apps/web/src/core/managers/save-manager.ts to understand the available save states. Add the status badge beside the project name for saved, saving, and unsaved states, and verify each label and icon appears at the appropriate point in the save flow.
