Build me a form builder with a document-style editor, where a live form can change without breaking answers already given.

STACK
- Astro with a Node adapter, SQLite via better-sqlite3
- A contenteditable editor in vanilla JS, no frontend framework

THE EDITOR
- A form is an ordered list of blocks: heading, paragraph, short text, long text, email, number, choice, multi-choice, rating, date, file upload
- Blocks added by typing a slash command, the way a document editor works

VERSIONING, WHICH IS THE HARD RULE
- The definition is saved as JSON and versioned
- An in-flight response is always validated against the version it was started on
- Changing a live form must never invalidate answers already given

LOGIC
- Rules referencing earlier blocks, evaluated on the server and mirrored in the browser
- The server is the authority; the browser copy is a convenience

SUBMISSIONS
- Append-only, with partial responses saved as the visitor progresses, so an abandoned form still records what was answered

SPAM, WITHOUT A THIRD PARTY
- Honeypot, minimum fill time, same-origin check, and a per-IP rate limit on a salted hash

ADMIN
- Response table, per-question aggregates, CSV export, optional SMTP notification
- Uploads to local disk or S3-compatible storage with a size cap and a content-type allow-list

Include a README on the versioning rule and the upload allow-list.
