What's requested

Profile edit mode must exist only on the profile view (/:owner) and be exited by any navigation away. Today it persists across tab navigation and beyond the owner page entirely.

(Static diagnosis from code reading - no local repro run.)

Evidence

web/src/pages/Repos.jsx:318 - the edit-open state is module scope: const [getEditingOwner, setEditingOwner] = createSignal(null); (deliberately hoisted in #455 because the three owner routes remount OwnerPage). Nothing ever clears it on navigation.
The edit form's gate <Show when={getEditing() && getProfile()?.can_edit}> is hoisted above the per-view <Show when={view() === "profile"}> gate (#442), so the form renders in the main column on the repositories and organizations tabs whenever edit mode is open - not only on the profile view.
Only two call sites reset the state: the form's own onDone (save/cancel) and openEditor's re-entry path. There is no onCleanup and no pathname effect in OwnerPage that clears setEditingOwner when the route leaves /:owner (or between tabs). useLocation is imported but unused in the component.
Net user-visible behavior: click "Edit profile", switch to the Repositories or Organizations tab - the edit form is still open there; navigate away to another page and back to this owner - the form is still open. Only Save or Cancel closes it.

Architecture notes

The module-scope signal exists for a real reason (#455: sibling Route components remount OwnerPage, so a component-local signal would not survive the tab-to-profile navigation). The bug is not the hoist itself but the missing exit path, and the form gate being outside the profile view.
Prescribed shape (planner/coder's call on the exact seam):
1. Render the <ProfileForm> inside the profile view only (re-scope the Show under view() === "profile").
2. Exit edit mode on any navigation away - a createEffect/onCleanup in OwnerPage watching useLocation().pathname that calls setEditingOwner(null) when the pathname leaves /{owner} (and, if the product wants tab switches to close it too, when it leaves the profile view exactly). The repo has cleanup precedent via onCleanup in the popover patterns (RefPicker/TasksOverlay in web/src/pages/Repo.jsx).
3. Keep openEditor's navigate-to-/{owner} behavior (#455) working: opening the editor from another tab must still land on the profile view with the form open, without the exit effect immediately closing it (open-then-navigate ordering matters - the effect must key on the resulting pathname).

Acceptance criteria

With edit mode open, switching to the Repositories or Organizations tab shows the normal tab content, not the edit form.
With edit mode open, navigating away from the owner page entirely (any other page) and returning shows the profile view closed - edit mode is exited by any navigation away.
"Edit profile" on the repositories/organizations tabs still navigates to /{owner} and opens the form there (#455 behavior preserved).
Save and Cancel still close the form and invalidate profile:{owner} on success.
Unsaved edits are discarded on navigation away (no stale form state surviving a round trip), and the exit logic has no toggle-fight with openEditor's navigation (form does not flash open-then-close or close-then-refuse).

## What's requested Profile edit mode must exist **only on the profile view** (`/:owner`) and be **exited by any navigation away**. Today it persists across tab navigation and beyond the owner page entirely. *(Static diagnosis from code reading - no local repro run.)* ## Evidence - `web/src/pages/Repos.jsx:318` - the edit-open state is **module scope**: `const [getEditingOwner, setEditingOwner] = createSignal(null);` (deliberately hoisted in #455 because the three owner routes remount `OwnerPage`). Nothing ever clears it on navigation. - The edit form's gate `<Show when={getEditing() && getProfile()?.can_edit}>` is hoisted **above** the per-view `<Show when={view() === "profile"}>` gate (#442), so the form renders in the main column on the repositories and organizations tabs whenever edit mode is open - not only on the profile view. - Only two call sites reset the state: the form's own `onDone` (save/cancel) and `openEditor`'s re-entry path. There is **no `onCleanup` and no pathname effect** in `OwnerPage` that clears `setEditingOwner` when the route leaves `/:owner` (or between tabs). `useLocation` is imported but unused in the component. - Net user-visible behavior: click "Edit profile", switch to the Repositories or Organizations tab - the edit form is still open there; navigate away to another page and back to this owner - the form is still open. Only Save or Cancel closes it. ## Architecture notes - The module-scope signal exists for a real reason (#455: sibling Route components remount `OwnerPage`, so a component-local signal would not survive the tab-to-profile navigation). The bug is not the hoist itself but the missing exit path, and the form gate being outside the profile view. - Prescribed shape (planner/coder's call on the exact seam): 1. Render the `<ProfileForm>` **inside** the profile view only (re-scope the `Show` under `view() === "profile"`). 2. Exit edit mode on **any** navigation away - a `createEffect`/`onCleanup` in `OwnerPage` watching `useLocation().pathname` that calls `setEditingOwner(null)` when the pathname leaves `/{owner}` (and, if the product wants tab switches to close it too, when it leaves the profile view exactly). The repo has cleanup precedent via `onCleanup` in the popover patterns (`RefPicker`/`TasksOverlay` in `web/src/pages/Repo.jsx`). 3. Keep `openEditor`'s navigate-to-`/{owner}` behavior (#455) working: opening the editor from another tab must still land on the profile view with the form open, without the exit effect immediately closing it (open-then-navigate ordering matters - the effect must key on the *resulting* pathname). ## Acceptance criteria - [ ] With edit mode open, switching to the Repositories or Organizations tab shows the normal tab content, **not** the edit form. - [ ] With edit mode open, navigating away from the owner page entirely (any other page) and returning shows the profile view closed - edit mode is exited by any navigation away. - [ ] "Edit profile" on the repositories/organizations tabs still navigates to `/{owner}` and opens the form there (#455 behavior preserved). - [ ] Save and Cancel still close the form and invalidate `profile:{owner}` on success. - [ ] Unsaved edits are discarded on navigation away (no stale form state surviving a round trip), and the exit logic has no toggle-fight with `openEditor`'s navigation (form does not flash open-then-close or close-then-refuse).

Fix ready for review: PR #501 (branch fix/issue-498). ProfileForm re-scoped under view()==='profile'; pathname effect + unmount cleanup exit edit mode on any navigation away (tab switches close it too, unsaved edits discarded); #455 open-then-navigate preserved with no toggle-fight (batched set-then-navigate, effect keys on resulting pathname). Headless: new owner-profile-edit-exit-498.test.js (13 tests); full suite 1110/1108/2 (2 pre-existing live-server smoke, identical on main); vite+esbuild green. No backend change, no new deps. Do NOT merge without review.

REVIEW PR #501 (fix/issue-498) — verified in scratch worktree /tmp/pr501 @ 3fa8d90, node_modules symlinked from main. No browser (headless only, stated explicitly); no docker/build changes; no live-instance contact beyond what smoke.test.js itself fetches.

CRITERIA (issue #498, all 5 met by code+tests):

Tabs show normal content: PASS — single Show re-scoped under view()==='profile' (Repos.jsx:485 gate, :498 form gate byte-identical); repos/orgs branches carry no form (pinned in owner-profile-edit-exit-498.test.js tabs test + rewritten 442 tests).
Away-and-back closed: PASS — pathname createEffect (Repos.jsx:417-419) + unmount onCleanup (:420-422), both keyed on editStaysOpen(resulting pathname, EDITING slug). Belt and braces: effect covers mounted reruns, cleanup covers disposal-before-rerun.
#455 preserved: PASS — openEditor untouched (Repos.jsx:393-396); targeted 455 tests green.
Save/cancel+invalidate intact: PASS — onDone byte-identical (Repos.jsx:502-505: setEditing(false) + invalidate profile:{owner}); gate getEditing()&&can_edit unchanged; #420 bio gate intact (:538).
Unsaved discarded + no toggle-fight: PASS — ProfileForm fields are component-local signals (Repos.jsx:175-180), unmount drops them; openEditor is synchronous set-then-navigate with one navigate call (pinned: ordering + no-await + single-navigate tests), effect sees only the post-navigation path. Residual note: the no-fight claim relies on @solidjs/router updating the location signal before disposing the old OwnerPage so cleanup reads the resulting path (standard semantics); both halves cover each other's timing gaps and the profile-scope gate double-protects tabs. Browser proof still open (author-noted daemon guard).

PINS FAITHFUL: 442 file keeps button/module-signal/gate/save/bio pins (only 2 placement tests rewritten, SUPERSEDED headers); 455 file untouched; 421 pin flipped with #498 header. No weakening. Tab-switches-close decided explicitly (issue's open question; consistent with criteria 1+5), documented in code + docs entry.

LAWS: 1 (no new deps — onCleanup joins solid-js import, helper in existing lib/owners.js; no package.json/lock change), 7 (N/A), 8 (web-local only, no seam/core changes), 12 (12_web_ui.md decision entry appended, counts accurate).

TESTS (scratch): targeted 4 files (498+442+455+421) exit=0; full suite excl. smoke.test.js exit=0, 1107 pass / 0 fail; full suite incl. smoke 1108 pass / 2 fail — both failures are the live-server smoke subtests (smoke.test.js fetches 127.0.0.1:8080 over HTTP, imports no PR-changed source; served / returned 401 from whatever is listening there) — environmental, cannot be PR-caused. vite build exit=0; esbuild with exact build:sdk flags exit=0. (My first npx-from-root attempt failed on cwd/version — invocation error, not a PR issue.)

No fixes needed — nothing pushed. MERGE RECOMMENDATION: ready to merge.
