Subject: [PATCH 01/19] Write the pagination as a TypeScript LitElement

The frontend can hold TypeScript modules: cargo build strips their types with
Node.js and the server serves the result at the source path, beside Lit
embedded from frontend/node_modules. The pagination and its page buttons are
the first LitElement components, and a reattached pagination no longer reports
one click twice. CI checks types with tsc, formats and lints the .ts files with
Biome, and runs on Node.js 24.

+Modules run in the browser without a bundler. A TypeScript module (`.ts`) loses
+only its type syntax: when the server is built, `frontend/strip-types.mjs`
+replaces that syntax with spaces, and the server serves the result at the
+module's own path as JavaScript, so its lines and columns match the source.
+Node runs the same `.ts` files directly in unit tests. Because the build only
+removes types, modules use TypeScript syntax that erases cleanly, without
+`enum`, `namespace`, or decorators.
+
+A module moves to TypeScript whole: `name.ts` is typed throughout under the
+strict check, and `name.js` has not moved yet. While a JavaScript module has
+TypeScript callers, a same-stem `name.d.ts` beside it declares the part they
+use, and it goes when the module becomes `name.ts`. The TypeScript-modules
+contract keeps each `.d.ts` beside its `.js` and no module in both languages.

+Lit is imported through its `lit` package, as `lit` and `lit/…`. The import
+map sends those, and the `lit-html`, `lit-element`, and `@lit/reactive-element`
+modules they import, to `/assets/`, which the server answers with the release
+`frontend/package.json` pins as a runtime dependency, embedded from
+`frontend/node_modules` when the server is built. A build therefore needs
+`npm ci` in `frontend/` first and Node.js on `PATH` for the TypeScript modules.
+Each package's modules reach its core through paths that resolve to one URL, so
+a page loads one module per package. Node unit tests resolve the same
+specifiers through the packages' exports to their Node builds, which stand in
+for the browser globals Node lacks.
+
+## Rendering
+
+A component that renders through Lit extends `LitElement` and renders into its
+own Light DOM. The state it shows lives in reactive properties. When one
+changes, Lit calls `render()` once the code that changed it has finished, so
+the DOM changes then rather than at the assignment. Work that reads the
+rendered DOM, such as scroll restoration, focus, or measurement, runs in
+`updated()`, and an owner that needs a child's rendered DOM awaits the child's
+`updateComplete`. Event listeners bound in a template come and go with their
+nodes.
+
+Lit keeps the nodes of a rendered template across later renders and commits
+only the bindings whose values changed. Rendering a different template at the
+same place, or reordering a list rendered without keys, creates new nodes
+there. While a template stays rendered, Lit leaves alone the children of an
+element that has no bindings inside. It escapes bound values; raw HTML goes
+through its `unsafeHTML` directive. Components choose templates, list keys, and
+binding-free containers so that the identity

 ### Incremental DOM updates
 
-Caffold's frontend direction favors browser-owned, long-lived DOM over adding
-a React-style virtual tree or a generic keyed reconciliation layer. This is a
-preference for new work and for paths already being changed, not a requirement
-to rewrite every existing `render()` method before an adjacent improvement can
-land.
-
-Where the component already owns stable elements, prefer applying the domain
-change directly to the smallest affected DOM surface. A title change can update
-text, a status change can update its status presentation, and an ordering
-change can move the existing row. Equivalent canonical snapshots should
-ideally be DOM no-ops. Preserve node identity when it carries animation, focus,
-selection, scroll, disclosure, media, or custom-element lifecycle continuity.
-
-Initial mounting and meaningful structural transitions may still render a
-larger subtree when that remains the clearest implementation. Improve broad
-render paths incrementally as related behavior is touched; do not turn a local
-identity fix into a new rendering framework or an unrelated rewrite. If direct
-patching would become brittle, prefer a clearer component ownership boundary or
-a deliberately scoped rerender over accumulating hidden DOM assumptions.
+Components render through Lit's reactive update: the state a component shows
+lives in its reactive properties, and Lit renders after the code that changed
+them finishes. Work that reads the rendered DOM belongs after that update, not
+right after the state change, and a result awaited across an update is still
+checked against its request identity. State transitions and their effects stay
+with the owner's transition authority; the update lifecycle renders and does
+the DOM work that follows, but it does not start transitions of its own. Do not
+add a virtual tree or another rendering layer on top. String-built markup is
+converted when its path changes; an adjacent improvement does not have to
+convert it first.
+
+Equivalent canonical snapshots should be DOM no-ops. Node identity that
+carries animation, focus, selection, scroll, disclosure, media, or
+custom-element lifecycle continuity must survive state changes and list
+reordering. Content another owner manages imperatively stays outside the
+template's reach.

+Values reach the DOM escaped; raw HTML enters only at places that name its
+source.

+A meaningful structural transition may still replace a subtree when nothing in
+it carries the state above. If a template would have to encode brittle DOM

Subject: [PATCH 02/19] Write the confirm dialogs as TypeScript LitElements

The app update, update result, Codex runtime restart and update, Codex reset
credit, Claude runtime restart, and archived Task delete dialogs render through
Lit. Opening and closing wait for the dialog's first render, so an owner can
call them right after mounting it. Contracts that scanned only .js modules now
scan the .ts ones too.

Subject: [PATCH 03/19] Write the shared components as TypeScript LitElements

Every module in frontend/components/ renders through Lit, with file-status
and chunked-fetch, which they use whole; other modules they call stay
JavaScript behind a same-stem .d.ts. A component renders on the spot when it
connects and when a public method changes it, since its JavaScript owners
read its DOM right after.

Subject: [PATCH 04/19] Write Review, Git, and GitHub as TypeScript LitElements

Task Detail's Review, Git, and GitHub surfaces are TypeScript LitElements
that hand files, diffs, and snapshots to their children as template
properties. The shared viewers stop rendering in place on connect; only
the three Detail layouts still flush for their JavaScript owner.

Subject: [PATCH 06/19] Write the Task conversation as TypeScript LitElements

The Task conversation, its entry model, and the components its entries

included, for the JavaScript Task layout and the keyboard modes that read
it right after a change.

Subject: [PATCH 07/19] Write the Composer and New Task as TypeScript
 LitElements

The Composer with its attachments, context usage, voice input, and turn
options, and New Task's Task Create and directory field, are TypeScript
LitElements that draw in place for their JavaScript owners. Model menu
options now survive a redraw, so an open Action Hint session keeps its keys.

Subject: [PATCH 08/19] Write the Task list as TypeScript LitElements

The Task navigator, the Active list with its Sections and rows, the
Archived list, and the Task switcher are TypeScript LitElements. The
status chip is now one component every Task surface uses, and it registers
its spinner once.

Subject: [PATCH 09/19] Write Task Detail as TypeScript LitElements

The Detail layout, the Task screen with its session and history, the
Section screen with its shortcuts and fork dialog, the summary with Task
Info, the Git and GitHub menus, and the terminal are TypeScript
LitElements. The Task screen's conversation pane stays once drawn, and
what stands in its place draws beside it.

Subject: [PATCH 10/19] Write the App Shell and workspace as TypeScript
 LitElements

The App Shell, the workspace with its tab buttons and update Task dialog,
the Tasks layout, New Task, the recovery screens, the image preview, and
the build mismatch alert are TypeScript LitElements. Workspace methods
that nothing called, or that called a missing method, are gone.

Subject: [PATCH 11/19] Write the non-visual frontend modules in TypeScript

Settings and appearance, the API, routes and navigation history, the Tasks
model and stream, Codex and Task-store status, live updates and watch,
foreground recovery, and the PWA update lifecycle are TypeScript. Their
hand-written declarations are gone, and server response types live in the
API module.

Subject: [PATCH 12/19] Declare Action Hints and keyboard contexts in Lit
 templates

Each component declares its Action Hint targets, Scroll surfaces, and
keyboard contexts on the elements its template draws, and reaches its own
elements through drawn refs instead of selectors. The keyboard navigation
controller and its badge, Scroll, and shortcut help parts are TypeScript.

Subject: [PATCH 13/19] Read Action Hints from what Lit last drew

Action Hint, Scroll, and keyboard-context declarations are read as the
last draw left them instead of forcing each owner to draw first. Opening
the Task switcher, continuing into a popover, and revalidating after a
DOM change wait one frame, by which Lit has drawn the change.

icon fixture contract now reads the inlineIcon calls production makes.

Subject: [PATCH 15/19] Draw on Lit's update where drawing at once served
 nothing

Components no longer draw when they connect, and those that only render
their state keep it in reactive properties instead of drawing by hand.
Immediate draws stay where the same call uses what it drew and in the
routed layouts that hand their children a route right after drawing.

Subject: [PATCH 16/19] Build the frontend with tsc alone

Node's type stripping limited the frontend to `.ts` import paths and erasable
syntax, behind a separate script. tsc now compiles each module, the service
worker included, to the `.js` path it is served at with a source map beside it,
stops the server build on a type error, and writes the build unit tests run
from. Keyboard navigation imports Action Hints through its public entry again,
which the boundary contract checks now that imports end in `.js`.

-only its type syntax: when the server is built, `frontend/strip-types.mjs`

-A module moves to TypeScript whole: `name.ts` is typed throughout under the

-TypeScript callers, a same-stem `name.d.ts` beside it declares the part they
-use, and it goes when the module becomes `name.ts`. The TypeScript-modules
-contract keeps each `.d.ts` beside its `.js` and no module in both languages;
-`build-info.d.ts` alone declares a module the server build writes instead.
+Modules run in the browser without a bundler, one file per module. Each is
+TypeScript, `name.ts`, under the strict check. When the server is built, tsc
+compiles it to `name.js` with a source map beside it, and the server serves
+both under `/assets/`. tsc keeps import specifiers as written, so an import
+names the `.js` file that runs, and the type check reads the `.ts` source
+beside it. The service worker is typed for its own global scope, so
+`frontend/tsconfig.worker.json` compiles it apart from the page modules. A type
+error in either stops the server build.
+
+A source map carries its TypeScript source, so browser developer tools show
+`/assets/name.ts` without fetching it; the service worker does not cache source

Subject: [PATCH 17/19] Declare Lit properties and registration with standard
 decorators

A reactive field was spread over `static properties`, a `declare` line, and a
constructor assignment. Components now declare it as a decorated `accessor`
field and register with `@customElement`, lifecycle members carry `override`,
and each tag has an `HTMLElementTagNameMap` entry. tsc imports the decorator
helpers from `tslib`, which the server serves beside Lit's decorator modules.

Subject: [PATCH 18/19] Type custom event details in the modules that own them

Listeners restated each custom event's detail in a cast or parameter, so a
sender could change it unseen. Each event that carries a detail now declares its
type and DOM event map entry once, in the module a counted rule picks, with an
-event module for the four that several modules both send and hear. A contract
test checks the rule, and listeners no longer cast.

 Event listeners bound in a template come and go with their nodes.

Subject: [PATCH 19/19] Check that frontend functions return on every path

tsc now reports a function that returns a value on some paths and falls off
the end on others. The App Shell's bootstrap was the only one, and both of its
callers ignore the result, so it no longer returns it.
