# Todofile

This is a "to do next" file, particularly useful to keep the human and a coding assistant in sync.

The format is based on [Keep a Todofile V0.0.1](https://coulomb.social/open/KeepaTodofile).

The structure organizes **future tasks** by their impact, just as a changelog organizes past changes by their impact.

## [Unreleased] - *Active Vibe-Coding State* 💡

This section is for tasks currently being discussed with or worked on by the coding assistant. These are the ephemeral, flow-of-thought tasks.

**🧪 TESTDRIVE-JSUI CAPABILITY EXTRACTION (2025-11-09) - IN PROGRESS**:
Safely extracting JavaScript UI framework functionality into a dedicated capability while protecting existing hard-won UI functionality and integrating JavaScript tests into the main Python test suite.

**📋 Workplan**: [docs/workplan-testdrive-jsui-capability.md](docs/workplan-testdrive-jsui-capability.md)

**Current Status**: Implementing Phase 1 - Foundation Setup
- [ ] Create capability directory structure
- [ ] Setup pyproject.toml with dependencies
- [ ] Create package.json with Jest configuration
- [ ] Implement Python-JavaScript bridge
- [ ] Create capability Makefile
- [ ] Write basic README documentation

**Objectives**:
- 🔒 Zero-risk migration with copy-first approach
- 🧪 Integrate JavaScript tests into main Python test suite
- 🏗️ Clean capability architecture for JavaScript framework
- 📊 Enhanced CI/CD integration for JavaScript testing
- 🚀 Future extensibility for JavaScript framework evolution

**Safety Mechanisms**:
- Copy-first approach (never move until verified)
- Dual-track testing during migration
- Gradual integration with rollback options
- Comprehensive test verification at each step

**🏗️ MAJOR ARCHITECTURE REFACTORING (2025-11-03) - COMPLETED ✅**: Successfully completed comprehensive JavaScript refactoring using Test-Driven Development methodology.

**PROBLEMS SOLVED**:
1. ✅ **Monolithic Architecture**: Extracted 5,188-line `editor.js` into 4 modular components
2. ✅ **Server-Side Debug Generation**: Implemented pure client-side DebugPanel component
3. ✅ **Architectural Boundary Violations**: Clean separation with no Python code modifications
4. ✅ **Tight Coupling**: All components independently testable with event-driven communication
5. ✅ **Generic Editor Compromise**: Debug system now purely client-side and component-based

**SOLUTION IMPLEMENTED**: Modular JavaScript Architecture with complete component separation and TDD validation.

**📊 PREVIOUS STATUS (2025-11-02)**: Systematic JavaScript functionality recovery using TDD methodology had made excellent progress. **5 major features** were successfully implemented and tested:

1. **Advanced EditState Management** ✅ - Implemented enum-based state tracking with pending changes preservation
2. **Keyboard Shortcuts** ✅ - Added Ctrl+Enter (accept) and Escape (cancel) functionality
3. **Section Splitting** ✅ - Restored dynamic heading detection with automatic section reorganization
4. **Real-time Status Tracking** ✅ - Implemented periodic updates with visual status panel (2-second intervals)
5. **Intelligent Filename Generation** ✅ - Added 4-method fallback system (options→title→URL→heading→timestamp)

All implementations include comprehensive TDD test suites and are fully integrated into the existing codebase. The recovery approach has proven highly effective for restoring sophisticated lost functionality.
