# CV Project - Developer Memory
## ⚠️ CRITICAL: Read This Before Any Changes
This document contains **non-negotiable rules** and **hard-learned lessons** from this project's development. Violating these causes bugs, breaks features, and wastes time.
---
## 🔴 ABSOLUTE RULES - NEVER VIOLATE
### 1. Icon Naming Convention (CRITICAL)
**ALWAYS use "icons" - NEVER "logos"**
```javascript
// ✅ CORRECT
.show-icons
localStorage.getItem('cv-icons')
const showIcons = ...
// ❌ WRONG - WILL BREAK ICON TOGGLE
.show-logos
localStorage.getItem('cv-logos')
const showLogos = ...
```
**Why:** Icon toggle had critical bug (commit 3f77fed) because JavaScript used `.show-logos` but CSS checked for `.show-icons`. This caused toggles to only work after page refresh.
**Test that enforces this:** `tests/mjs/1-toggles.test.mjs`
**Memory file:** `~/.claude/cv-icons-migration.md`
---
### 2. Hyperscript Parser Limit (CRITICAL)
**Maximum 3 `def` statements total across ALL files**
Hyperscript 0.9.14 has a hard parser limit:
- ✅ Max 3 `def` statements across entire application
- ✅ Count includes ALL `<script type="_hyperscript">` blocks
- ✅ Count includes ALL inline `_="def ..."` attributes
**Solution:** Move complex logic to JavaScript functions
```javascript
// ✅ CORRECT - JavaScript functions
function toggleIcons(showIcons) { ... }
function toggleCVLength(isLong) { ... }
function toggleTheme(isClean) { ... }
// Call from hyperscript
_="on change call toggleIcons(my.checked)"
// ❌ WRONG - Too many def statements
_="def toggleIcons(show)
if show then add .show-icons...
end"
```
**Why:** Parser crashes/fails silently when limit exceeded.
**Test that enforces this:** `tests/mjs/3-hyperscript.test.mjs`
**Reference:** `HYPERSCRIPT-RULES.md`
---
### 3. Toggle Synchronization (CRITICAL)
**Action bar and menu toggles MUST stay synchronized**
Every toggle exists in TWO places:
1. Action bar (desktop) - `#lengthToggle`, `#iconToggle`, `#themeToggle`
2. Hamburger menu (mobile) - `#lengthToggleMenu`, `#iconToggleMenu`, `#themeToggleMenu`
**Required behavior:**
- ✅ Clicking either toggle updates BOTH
- ✅ Changes are real-time (no page refresh)
- ✅ localStorage persists the state
- ✅ Page load reads from localStorage and applies to both
```javascript
// ✅ CORRECT - Update both toggles
function toggleIcons(showIcons) {
const paper = document.querySelector('.cv-paper');
const otherToggle = document.querySelector('#iconToggle') ||
document.querySelector('#iconToggleMenu');
if (showIcons) {
paper?.classList.add('show-icons');
localStorage.setItem('cv-icons', 'true');
if (otherToggle) otherToggle.checked = true;
} else {
paper?.classList.remove('show-icons');
localStorage.setItem('cv-icons', 'false');
if (otherToggle) otherToggle.checked = false;
}
}
```
**Test that enforces this:** `tests/mjs/1-toggles.test.mjs`
---
### 4. Real-Time Rendering (CRITICAL)
**ALL UI changes MUST happen without page refresh**
```javascript
// ✅ CORRECT - Immediate DOM update
paper.classList.add('show-icons'); // CSS change happens instantly
// ❌ WRONG - Requires refresh
localStorage.setItem('cv-icons', 'true'); // Only storage, no visual change
```
**Why:** Users expect instant feedback. Any delay or refresh requirement feels broken.
**Test that enforces this:** `tests/mjs/1-toggles.test.mjs` (with screenshot verification)
---
### 5. Test Suite as Single Source of Truth
**If a test passes, the feature MUST work. If a feature works, the test MUST pass.**
```
tests/mjs/
├── 0-zoom.test.mjs # Zoom functionality
├── 1-toggles.test.mjs # ALL toggles + sync + persistence
├── 2-keyboard-shortcuts.test.mjs # L, I, V, ? keys
├── 3-hyperscript.test.mjs # Parse errors + def limit
├── 4-htmx.test.mjs # HTMX integration
├── 5-language.test.mjs # EN/ES switching
├── 6-modals.test.mjs # Modal functionality
└── 7-mobile-responsive.test.mjs # Mobile viewports
```
**Non-negotiable:**
- ❌ NO code changes without test validation
- ❌ NO bug fixes without regression test
- ❌ NO features without test coverage
- ❌ NO deployment if tests fail
**Run before every commit:**
```bash
bun tests/run-all.mjs
```
**Reference:** `tests/README.md`, `tests/TEST-SUMMARY.md`

## 📋 Architecture Decisions
### Tech Stack
**Runtime & Framework:**
- ✅ Bun (JavaScript runtime)
- ✅ Hono (Web framework)
- ✅ HTMX (Hypermedia)
- ✅ Hyperscript 0.9.14 (Event handling - LIMITED USE)
**Why HTMX + Hyperscript:**
- Server-driven UI (hypermedia pattern)
- Minimal JavaScript
- Progressive enhancement
- Real-time updates via SSE
**Why Bun:**
- Fast runtime
- Built-in TypeScript
- Native test runner
- Single tool for everything

## 🐛 Historical Bugs (Learn From These)
### Bug 1: Icon Toggle Required Refresh
**Commit:** 3f77fed
**Date:** 2025-11-17
**Symptom:** Icon toggle only worked after page refresh
**Root cause:** Class name mismatch
- JavaScript: `classList.add('show-logos')`
- CSS: `.cv-paper:not(.show-icons)`
**Fix:** Changed all references from "logos" to "icons"
**Test added:** Screenshot verification in `1-toggles.test.mjs`
**Memory:** `~/.claude/cv-icons-migration.md`
### Bug 2: Hyperscript Parser Crash
**Date:** 2025-11-16
**Symptom:** Silent failures, toggles stopped working
**Root cause:** Exceeded 3 `def` statement limit
**Fix:** Moved toggle logic to JavaScript (`cv-functions.js`)
**Test added:** Def statement counter in `3-hyperscript.test.mjs`
**Reference:** `HYPERSCRIPT-RULES.md`
### Bug 3: Toggle Desynchronization
**Date:** 2025-11-15
**Symptom:** Action bar and menu toggles out of sync
**Root cause:** Only updating one toggle, not both
**Fix:** Every toggle function now updates both locations
**Test added:** Sync verification in `1-toggles.test.mjs`

## 🎯 Development Workflow
### Before Making Changes
1. **Read relevant test:** Understand what's being tested
2. **Run the test:** See current behavior
3. **Make changes:** Code + test updates together
4. **Run test again:** Verify it passes
5. **Run ALL tests:** `bun tests/run-all.mjs`
6. **Manual verification:** Browser stays open - check it yourself
7. **Commit:** With clear description
### When Adding a Feature
1. **Write test FIRST** (test what you want to build)
2. **Implement feature**
3. **Test passes** (feature works)
4. **Update documentation** (TEST-SUMMARY.md)
5. **Commit both** (code + test together)
### When Fixing a Bug
1. **Write regression test** (reproduces the bug)
2. **Test FAILS** (proves bug exists)
3. **Fix the bug**
4. **Test PASSES** (proves fix works)
5. **Commit both** (fix + test together)

## 📝 Key Patterns
### Toggle Pattern (Standard)
```javascript
function toggleX(enabled) {
const target = document.querySelector('.target');
const otherToggle = document.querySelector('#xToggle') ||
document.querySelector('#xToggleMenu');
if (enabled) {
target?.classList.add('state-class');
localStorage.setItem('cv-x', 'true');
if (otherToggle) otherToggle.checked = true;
} else {
target?.classList.remove('state-class');
localStorage.setItem('cv-x', 'false');
if (otherToggle) otherToggle.checked = false;
}
}
```
**Must have:**
- ✅ Real-time DOM update
- ✅ localStorage persistence
- ✅ Sync both toggle locations
- ✅ Safe navigation (`?.`)
### Hyperscript Pattern (LIMITED USE)
```html
<!-- ✅ GOOD - Simple event delegation -->
<button _="on click call myJavaScriptFunction(my.checked)">
<!-- ⚠️ AVOID - Complex logic (use JS instead) -->
<button _="on click
if condition then ...
else ... end">
<!-- ❌ FORBIDDEN - def statements (unless absolutely necessary) -->
<script type="_hyperscript">
def myFunction() <!-- COUNTS TOWARD 3 LIMIT -->
...
end
</script>
```
### Keyboard Shortcuts Pattern
```javascript
document.addEventListener('keydown', (e) => {
// ✅ ALWAYS check for input fields
if (e.target.matches('input, textarea, select')) return;
// ✅ Use lowercase key
const key = e.key.toLowerCase();
switch(key) {
case 'l': toggleCVLength(!body.classList.contains('cv-long')); break;
case 'i': toggleIcons(!paper.classList.contains('show-icons')); break;
case 'v': toggleTheme(!body.classList.contains('theme-clean')); break;
case '?': document.querySelector('#shortcuts-modal')?.showModal(); break;
}
});
```
**Test:** `tests/mjs/2-keyboard-shortcuts.test.mjs`
---
## 🔧 Common Operations
### Adding a New Toggle
1. **Add to HTML:** Action bar + menu
2. **Add localStorage key:** Choose naming convention
3. **Add toggle function:** Follow standard pattern
4. **Add keyboard shortcut:** Optional but recommended
5. **Add to test:** Update `1-toggles.test.mjs`
6. **Add to keyboard test:** If you added shortcut
7. **Run ALL tests**
### Changing Class Names
1. **Search globally:** Find ALL references
2. **Update JavaScript:** cv-functions.js
3. **Update CSS:** All stylesheets
4. **Update HTML:** All templates
5. **Update tests:** Search for old name
6. **Create memory file:** `~/.claude/name-migration.md`
7. **Test thoroughly**
### Debugging Toggle Issues
**Checklist:**
- [ ] Check class name matches between JS and CSS
- [ ] Verify both toggles are updated (action bar + menu)
- [ ] Check localStorage key is correct
- [ ] Verify real-time DOM update happens
- [ ] Run `1-toggles.test.mjs` - does it catch the bug?
- [ ] If test doesn't catch it, FIX THE TEST FIRST

## 🎓 Lessons Learned
### 1. Name Things Correctly From the Start
**Lesson:** Renaming "logos" to "icons" required:
- Updating 4 files
- Creating memory document
- Adding test verification
- Could have been avoided with better initial naming
**Rule:** Think about naming conventions BEFORE first implementation
### 2. Tests Are Not Optional
**Lesson:** Icon toggle bug existed for days before we added screenshot verification to the test. The test was passing but the feature was broken.
**Rule:** Tests must verify ACTUAL behavior, not just code execution
### 3. Framework Limits Are Real
**Lesson:** Hyperscript's 3 `def` limit seems arbitrary but it's a hard constraint. We learned this after hitting silent failures.
**Rule:** Read framework documentation carefully, especially limits/constraints
### 4. Synchronization Is Hard
**Lesson:** Having toggles in two places (action bar + menu) means every change must update both. Forgetting this causes desync bugs.
**Rule:** If something appears in multiple places, use a single function to update ALL locations
### 5. Real-Time Updates Are Expected
**Lesson:** Users don't understand localStorage vs DOM updates. If they click a button, they expect INSTANT visual feedback.
**Rule:** Every toggle must update both localStorage AND DOM immediately

## 🚀 Future Developers
**Before you change ANYTHING:**
1. Read this document
2. Read `tests/README.md`
3. Run `bun tests/run-all.mjs`
4. Understand which test covers what you're changing
5. Make your changes + update tests together
6. Run ALL tests again
7. Manual verification in browser
8. Update this document if you learn something new
**When you hit a bug:**
1. Which test should have caught this?
2. Why didn't it?
3. Fix the test FIRST
4. Then fix the bug
5. Document the lesson in this file
**Remember:**
- Tests are the specification
- If tests pass but feature fails → tests are wrong
- If feature works but tests fail → feature is wrong
- When in doubt, trust the tests MORE than the code
