+# Space-/namespace-dependent prefixes in templates
+
+**Status:** ✅ Implemented — [#571](https://github.com/knowledgepixels/nanodash/issues/571)
+
+## Goal
+
+Let a template mint resources under **whichever space or maintained resource the form was
+opened from**, instead of a namespace the template author has to hard-code. Without this, a
+template that creates, say, a dataset record under a space needs one copy per space.
+
+A `nt:hasPrefix` value may now contain a placeholder standing for the currently applicable
+space or maintained-resource namespace:
+
+```
+sub:resource nt:hasPrefix "~~SPACE~~/"     .  # https://w3id.org/space/foo/bar/
+sub:resource nt:hasPrefix "~~SPACE~~/r/"   .  # https://w3id.org/space/foo/bar/r/
+sub:resource nt:hasPrefix "~~NAMESPACE~~"  .  # the current maintained resource's namespace
+```
+
+- **`~~SPACE~~`** stands for the IRI of the applicable space, **without** a trailing
+  separator — the template writes the separator it wants (`"~~SPACE~~/"`,
+  `"~~SPACE~~/r/"`, …).
+- **`~~NAMESPACE~~`** stands for the namespace of the current maintained resource
+  **including** its trailing separator: its declared namespace, or its own IRI plus `/`
+  when it declares none.
+
+Only one placeholder per prefix is meaningful; `~~SPACE~~` wins if both appear.
+
+## Where the value comes from
+
+The base is taken from the **navigation context** — the `context` URL parameter that
+Nanodash already carries across pages (`NavigationContext`), naming the space, maintained
+resource, or user a page was reached under:
+
+| Context resource | `~~SPACE~~` | `~~NAMESPACE~~` |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| a space | the space's IRI | *unresolved* |
+| a maintained resource | the IRI of the space maintaining it | the resource's namespace |
+| a user, or no context | *unresolved* | *unresolved* |
+
+When the context determines no base, the form renders a **picker** in front of the
+placeholder's text field, offering the known spaces (for `~~SPACE~~`) or maintained
+resources (for `~~NAMESPACE~~`) by label. The context always wins when it does determine
+one: the picker only appears where it is actually needed, so the common case (publishing
+from a space page) stays a single-field form.
+
+## Implementation
+
+- **`DynamicPrefix`** (`com.knowledgepixels.nanodash`) owns the placeholder constants,
+  detects which one a raw prefix uses, resolves it against a context id, and lists the
+  selectable bases (from `SpaceRepository.findAll()` /
+  `MaintainedResourceRepository.findAll()`). `Template` is untouched: it keeps storing the
+  `nt:hasPrefix` literal verbatim, and resolution is a fill-time concern.
+- **`TemplateContext.getPrefix(IRI)`** is the resolved counterpart of
+  `Template.getPrefix(IRI)` and is what every consumer now calls (`IriTextfieldItem`,
+  `GuidedChoiceItem`, `ReadonlyItem`, the nanopub-label pattern in `PublishForm`, and
+  `processValue`). It returns null both when the template declares no prefix and when it
+  declares an unresolved dynamic one; `hasUnresolvedPrefix(IRI)` tells the two apart.
+  The navigation context is handed to the context via `setNavigationContextId`, which
+  `PublishForm` fills from its page parameters.
+- **The picked base** lives in a component model keyed `<placeholder-iri>__prefix`
+  (`TemplateContext.getPrefixModelKey`), derived *after* repetition suffixing — the same
+  convention as the language-tag picker's `__lang` key, and with the same properties: a
+  per-repetition base, prefill via the URL parameter `param_<postfix>__prefix`, and
+  invisibility to the repetition machinery (which only probes numeric suffixes).
+- **`IriTextfieldItem`** renders the picker (a select2 dropdown, `prefixchoice`) when the
+  prefix is dynamic and the navigation context resolves nothing. The dropdown is required
+  exactly when the paired text field holds something that isn't already a full URI, so an
+  untouched optional field and a fully-typed-out URI both stay valid. The prefix used for
+  display, validation, and unification is re-resolved on every access (`PrefixModel`), so
+  picking a base updates the field without rebuilding the form.
+- **Publishing** with an unresolved prefix yields **no value** for the placeholder rather
+  than an IRI in the wrong namespace (`TemplateContext.processValue`); form validation
+  blocks the case anyway, this is the belt-and-braces half.
+
+## Deliberately out of scope
+
+Both are the "maybe for later" items of [#571](https://github.com/knowledgepixels/nanodash/issues/571):
+
+- **Always showing the picker**, with the context merely pre-selecting it. The context is
+  authoritative today; a picker that can silently contradict the page you are on is a
+  bigger UX decision than this issue needed.
+- **Restricting the options to the user's own spaces.** The picker lists every known
+  space / maintained resource; publishing into one the user has no rights on is caught
+  downstream, not in the form.
+
+Also not covered: a dynamic prefix on a **restricted-choice** or **guided-choice**
+placeholder renders no picker (only `IriTextfieldItem` has one). Such a placeholder still
+resolves its prefix from the navigation context, and publishes nothing when it cannot —
+the natural placeholder type for "mint a resource under this space" is a plain URI
+placeholder.
+
+## Backwards compatibility
+
+- **Old templates, new code:** no deployed template uses the placeholders, so every prefix
+  is detected as static and handled exactly as before.
+- **New templates, old code:** an old Nanodash treats `"~~SPACE~~/"` as a literal prefix
+  and would publish IRIs starting with `~~SPACE~~/`. There is no graceful degradation
+  here, so don't put the placeholders in templates shared with instances that predate this
+  feature.
