 - We fixed a security vulnerability (CVE-2026-13149).
 
+### Added
+
+- We added new configuration to allow users to use class names instead of inline styling in generated HTML to support strict CSP.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- We fixed Tiptap duplicate extension warnings for `link`, `textStyle`, `underline`, and `textDirection` by properly configuring StarterKit, removing redundant extension registrations in TextColorClass, memoizing the extensions array to prevent re-registration on component re-renders, and disabling the core TextDirection extension that conflicts with our custom implementation.
+
+- We fixed an issue where empty editor content was saving as `<p></p>` instead of an empty string, which incorrectly passed required field validation. Empty content now correctly saves as `""`, ensuring proper validation behavior. Note: This is a breaking change for forms that were relying on the incorrect behavior - required RichText fields will now correctly reject empty content.
+
+- We fixed an issue where the editor pasting back the whole sentence instead of the single copied word
+
+### Changed
+
+- We removed codemirror from code dialog viewer due to unsupported strict CSP policy. A simple internally built code editor using highlightjs is now replacing it.

+## Context
+
+The rich text editor uses TipTap, which already supports column widths via the `colwidth` attribute on table cells. TipTap's base `TableCell` extension includes this attribute, and the `TableBackgroundColor` extension reads it to generate `<colgroup>` elements for column sizing.
+
+Currently:
+
+- `colwidth` is an array of pixel values (e.g., `[150]` for single column, `[100, 150, 200]` for colspan)
+- TipTap has a `resizable: true` option that should enable drag-to-resize, but the custom `TableBackgroundColorNodeView` doesn't implement resize handles
+- Users can click column borders, which sets a width, but cannot drag to adjust
+- No UI control exists to set exact pixel widths
+
+The existing cell configuration dropdown already has sections for background color, border color/style/width using a `ConfigurationSection` pattern.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+
+- Add a number input control to the cell configuration dropdown for setting column width
+- Support exact pixel values (25-1000px range)
+- Provide clear button to reset to auto width
+- Handle colspan cells by setting only the first column width
+- Follow existing configuration dropdown patterns and styling
+- Validate input and clamp to acceptable ranges
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+
+- Implementing drag-to-resize handles (would require significant NodeView work)
+- Supporting percentage or other CSS units (only pixels for now)
+- Setting widths for all columns in a colspan cell (only first column)
+- Syncing widths across all rows (only first row widths apply per TipTap's design)
+- Adding column width presets dropdown (keep it simple with number input only)
+
+## Decisions
+
+### Decision 1: Use number input type (not dropdown with presets)
+
+**Rationale:** User requested "exact pixel values" in requirements. A number input provides precision without limiting users to preset sizes.
+
+**Alternatives considered:**
+
+- Dropdown with presets (Small/Medium/Large): Too restrictive, doesn't meet "exact values" requirement
+- Hybrid (input + preset buttons): Over-engineered for initial implementation
+- Text input: Number input provides better UX with built-in increment/decrement and validation
+
+**Implementation:** Add new `"numberInput"` type to `ConfigurationSection` interface alongside existing `"colorPicker"` and `"dropdown"` types.
+
+---
+
+### Decision 2: Set only first column width for colspan cells
+
+**Rationale:**
+
+- User explicitly requested "set only first column" in requirements
+- Simplifies implementation and UX (no need for multi-column width editor)
+- Matches TipTap's array-based `colwidth` structure where `colwidth[0]` is the first column
+
+**Alternatives considered:**
+
+- Set all spanned columns to same width: Could surprise users if they had different widths set
+- Show per-column width array editor: Complex UI for edge case (most cells don't have colspan)
+- Disable control for colspan cells: Too restrictive
+
+**Implementation:** `onChange` handler creates `colwidth` array with single value: `[width]`
+
+---
+
+### Decision 3: Use setCellAttribute command (not custom command)
+
+**Rationale:**
+
+- `setCellAttribute("colwidth", value)` should work because `colwidth` is in TipTap's base TableCell
+- Other cell properties (backgroundColor, borderColor, etc.) use `setCellAttribute` successfully
+- No need to define custom commands in extensions
+
+**Alternatives considered:**
+
+- Custom `setCellWidth` command in `TableCellBackgroundColor`: Unnecessary abstraction
+- Modify `TableCellBackgroundColor.addAttributes()` to re-declare colwidth: Already inherits via `...this.parent?.()`
+
+**Implementation:** Direct call to `editor.chain().focus().setCellAttribute("colwidth", [width]).run()`
+
+---
+
+### Decision 4: Render clear button conditionally (when value exists)
+
+**Rationale:**
+
+- Provides explicit way to reset to auto width (null)
+- Visual indicator that a custom width is set
+- Follows common UI pattern (seen in search inputs, etc.)
+
+**Alternatives considered:**
+
+- Always show clear button: Clutters UI when empty
+- Use empty string to mean auto: Less explicit, could be confusing
+- Add separate "Auto" button: Redundant with clear functionality
+
+**Implementation:** Render `×` button only when `currentValue !== null`
+
+---
+
+### Decision 5: Store null for auto width (not empty array or zero)
+
+**Rationale:**
+
+- TipTap treats `colwidth: null` as auto-sizing behavior
+- Consistent with how TipTap's base extensions work
+- `colwidth: []` or `colwidth: [0]` could cause layout issues
+
+**Implementation:** When user clears input, call `setCellAttribute("colwidth", null)`
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+### Risk: Parent attribute inheritance might not work
+
+If `TableCellBackgroundColor` doesn't properly inherit `colwidth` from base `TableCell`, `setCellAttribute` calls will fail silently.
+
+**Mitigation:** The extension already uses `...this.parent?.()` in `addAttributes()`, which should preserve `colwidth`. If issues arise, explicitly re-declare `colwidth` in the extension's attributes.
+
+---
+
+### Risk: First-row-only behavior might confuse users
+
+TipTap only uses `colwidth` from the first row of the table to generate `<colgroup>`. Setting widths on other rows has no effect.
+
+**Mitigation:** Could add tooltip or helper text: "Note: Only first row column widths apply." For initial implementation, leave as-is since it matches TipTap's inherent behavior.
+
+---
+
+### Risk: Custom NodeView might interfere with colwidth updates
+
+The `TableBackgroundColorNodeView` manually generates `<colgroup>` in `updateColgroup()`. If it's not reactive to `colwidth` changes, widths might not update visually.
+
+**Mitigation:** The NodeView's `update()` method already calls `updateColgroup()` on node changes, so it should react to `colwidth` updates. Test thoroughly during implementation.
+
+---
+
+### Trade-off: No drag-to-resize (only manual input)
+
+Users lose the convenience of dragging column borders to resize.
+
+**Mitigation:** The number input provides precision that drag handles lack. If drag-to-resize is needed later, it would require integrating ProseMirror's `columnResizing` plugin into the custom NodeView (~200 lines of code). For now, manual input meets the stated requirements.
+
+---
+
+### Trade-off: Pixel-only units (no percentages)
+
+Users cannot set responsive column widths using percentages.
+
+**Mitigation:** Percentage support would require custom rendering logic (TipTap's `colwidth` is pixel-only). Tables in rich text editors typically use fixed layouts. Can be added later if users request it.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+No migration needed. This is a purely additive feature:
+
+- Existing tables without `colwidth` continue to work (auto width)
+- Existing tables with `colwidth` set (via TipTap's base functionality) display correctly
+- No data model changes or breaking API changes
+
+Deployment:
+
+1. Merge code changes
+2. Run build
+3. Deploy widget to Mendix project
+4. Feature is immediately available in cell configuration dropdown
+
+Rollback:
+
+- If issues arise, remove the new configuration section from `createCellConfigurationSections()`
+- No data corruption risk (colwidth attribute is standard TipTap)
+
+## Open Questions
+
+1. **Should we show the actual rendered column width vs. the set value?**
+    - The set `colwidth` might differ from actual rendered width due to table layout constraints
+    - For initial implementation: Show the set value only (simpler)
+    - Can add "measured width" tooltip later if needed
+
+2. **Should we prevent setting widths on non-first-row cells?**
+    - Pro: Avoids confusion about why widths don't apply
+    - Con: Restricts user control, might not match mental model
+    - Decision: Allow setting on any cell (simpler), rely on TipTap's first-row behavior
+
+3. **Should we add keyboard shortcuts for common widths?**
+    - Out of scope for initial implementation
+    - Can be added later if users request it

+## Why
+
+Users need precise control over table column widths in the rich text editor. Currently, while TipTap supports column widths via the `colwidth` attribute, there's no UI control to set them. Users can only click column borders which sets widths without drag-to-resize capability, making it difficult to achieve desired layouts.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- Add a "Column Width" number input control to the cell configuration dropdown
+- Support setting exact pixel widths (25-1000px range)
+- Provide "Clear" button to reset to auto width
+- Handle colspan cells by setting only the first column width
+- Integrate with existing `setCellAttribute` command for `colwidth` attribute
+
+## Capabilities
+
+### New Capabilities
+
+- `table-column-width-control`: UI control in cell configuration dropdown allowing users to set precise column widths in pixels, with validation, auto width support, and colspan handling
+
+### Modified Capabilities
+
+<!-- No existing spec requirements are changing - this is a new UI feature using existing TipTap colwidth infrastructure -->
+
+## Impact
+
+**Affected Files:**
+
+- `src/components/toolbars/components/ConfigurationDropdown.tsx` - Add number input type support
+- `src/components/toolbars/components/ConfigurationDropdown.scss` - Add number input styling
+- `src/components/toolbars/ToolbarConfig.ts` - Update ConfigurationSection type definition
+- `src/components/toolbars/helpers/configurationHelpers.ts` - Add column width section
+
+**User Impact:**
+
+- Positive: Users gain precise control over table column widths via familiar number input UI
+- No breaking changes: Feature is additive, existing tables continue to work
+
+**Technical Impact:**
+
+- Uses existing TipTap `colwidth` attribute mechanism (no changes to data model)
+- No impact on existing table resize behavior (custom NodeView remains unchanged)
+- Follows established configuration dropdown patterns
