Added some community improvement suggestions in docs

- Added MIME type mappings for .otf, .woff, and .woff2 font formats
- Fixed missing break statement after .wav case (was falling through to .mp4)
- Fonts now load correctly in editor preview without 404 errors
- Resolves OTS parsing error messages in console

The web server was already serving project directory files correctly,
but browsers were rejecting font files due to missing/incorrect MIME types.

+# Project: Node Canvas Editor Modernization
+
+## Overview
+
+**Goal:** Transform the custom node canvas editor from an opaque, monolithic legacy system into a well-documented, modular, and testable architecture that the team can confidently extend and maintain.
+
+**Why this matters:**
+- The canvas is the core developer UX - every user interaction flows through it
+- Current ~2000+ line monolith (`nodegrapheditor.ts`) is intimidating for contributors
+- AI-assisted coding works dramatically better with smaller, focused files
+- Enables future features (minimap, connection tracing, better comments) without fear
+- Establishes patterns for modernizing other legacy parts of the codebase
+
+**Out of scope (for now):**
+- Migration to React Flow or other library
+- Runtime/execution changes
+- New feature implementation (those come after this foundation)
+
+---
+
+## Current Architecture Analysis
+
+### Core Files
+
+| File | Lines (est.) | Responsibility | Coupling Level |
+|------|--------------|----------------|----------------|
+| `nodegrapheditor.ts` | ~2000+ | Everything: rendering, interaction, selection, pan/zoom, connections, undo, clipboard | Extreme - God object |
+| `NodeGraphEditorNode.ts` | ~600 | Node rendering, layout, port drawing | High - tied to parent |
+| `NodeGraphEditorConnection.ts` | ~300 | Connection/noodle rendering, hit testing | Medium |
+| `commentlayer.ts` | ~400 | Comment system orchestration | Medium - React bridge |
+| `CommentLayer/*.tsx` | ~500 total | Comment React components | Lower - mostly isolated |
+
+### Key Integration Points
+
+The canvas talks to these systems (will need interface boundaries):
+- `ProjectModel.instance` - Project state singleton
+- `NodeLibrary.instance` - Node type definitions, color schemes
+- `DebugInspector.InspectorsModel` - Data inspection/pinning
+- `WarningsModel.instance` - Node warning states
+- `UndoQueue.instance` - Undo/redo management
+- `EventDispatcher.instance` - Global event bus
+- `PopupLayer.instance` - Context menus, tooltips
+- `ToastLayer` - User notifications
+
+### Current Rendering Pipeline
+
+```
+paint() called
+  → clearRect()
+  → scale & translate context
+  → paintHierarchy() - parent/child lines
+  → paint connections (normal)
+  → paint connections (highlighted - second pass for z-order)
+  → paint nodes
+  → paint drag indicators
+  → paint multiselect box
+  → paint dragging connection preview
+```
+
+### Current Interaction Handling
+
+All mouse events funnel through single `mouse(type, pos, evt)` method with massive switch/if chains handling:
+- Node selection (single, multi, add-to)
+- Node dragging
+- Connection creation
+- Pan (right-click, middle-click, space+left)
+- Zoom (wheel)
+- Context menus
+- Insert location indicators

+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Phases
+
+### Phase 1: Documentation & Analysis (3-4 days)
+
+**Goal:** Fully understand and document current system before changing anything.
+
+**Tasks:**
+1. Create `ARCHITECTURE.md` documenting:
+   - Current file responsibilities
+   - Data flow diagrams
+   - Event flow diagrams
+   - Integration point catalog
+   - Known quirks and gotchas
+
+2. Add inline documentation to existing code:
+   - JSDoc for all public methods
+   - Explain non-obvious logic
+   - Mark technical debt with `// TODO(canvas-refactor):`
+
+3. Create dependency graph visualization
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- `NodeGraphEditor/ARCHITECTURE.md`
+- Fully documented `nodegrapheditor.ts` (comments only, no code changes)
+- Mermaid diagram of component interactions
+
+**Confidence checkpoint:** Can explain any part of the canvas system to a new developer.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 2: Testing Foundation (4-5 days)
+
+**Goal:** Establish testing infrastructure before refactoring.
+
+**Tasks:**
+1. Set up testing environment for canvas code:
+   - Jest configuration for canvas mocking
+   - Helper utilities for creating test nodes/connections
+   - Snapshot testing for render output (optional)
+
+2. Write characterization tests for current behavior:
+   - Selection behavior (single click, shift+click, ctrl+click, marquee)
+   - Pan/zoom behavior
+   - Connection creation
+   - Clipboard operations
+   - Undo/redo integration
+
+3. Create test fixtures:
+   - Sample graph configurations
+   - Mock ProjectModel, NodeLibrary, etc.
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- `__tests__/` directory structure
+- Test utilities and fixtures
+- 70%+ characterization test coverage for interaction logic
+- CI integration for canvas tests
+
+**Confidence checkpoint:** Tests catch regressions when code is modified.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 3: Extract Core Modules (5-6 days)
+
+**Goal:** Pull out clearly separable concerns without changing behavior.
+
+**Order of extraction (lowest risk first):**
+
+1. **ViewportManager** (~1 day)
+   - Extract: `getPanAndScale`, `setPanAndScale`, `clampPanAndScale`, `updateZoomLevel`, `centerToFit`
+   - Pure calculations, minimal dependencies
+   - Easy to test independently
+
+2. **GraphLayout** (~1 day)
+   - Extract: `calculateNodesAABB`, `getCenterPanAndScale`, `getCenterRootPanAndScale`, AABB utilities
+   - Pure geometry calculations
+   - Easy to test
+
+3. **SelectionManager** (~1.5 days)
+   - Extract: `selector` object, highlight state, multi-select logic
+   - Currently scattered across mouse handlers
+   - Introduce event emitter for state changes
+
+4. **ClipboardManager** (~1 day)
+   - Extract: `copySelected`, `paste`, `getNodeSetFromClipboard`, `insertNodeSet`
+   - Relatively self-contained
+
+5. **Types & Interfaces** (~0.5 days)
+   - Create `types.ts` with all shared interfaces
+   - Migrate inline types
+
+**Approach for each extraction:**
+```
+1. Create new file with extracted code
+2. Import into nodegrapheditor.ts
+3. Delegate calls to new module
+4. Run tests - verify no behavior change
+5. Commit
+```
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- `core/ViewportManager.ts` with tests
+- `core/GraphLayout.ts` with tests
+- `interaction/SelectionManager.ts` with tests
+- `features/ClipboardManager.ts` with tests
+- `core/types.ts`
+
+**Confidence checkpoint:** `nodegrapheditor.ts` reduced by ~400-500 lines, all tests pass.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 4: Extract Rendering Pipeline (4-5 days)
+
+**Goal:** Separate what we draw from when/why we draw it.
+
+**Tasks:**
+
+1. **CanvasRenderer** (~1.5 days)
+   - Extract: `paint()` method orchestration
+   - Introduce `IRenderContext` for dependency injection
+   - Make rendering stateless (receives state, outputs pixels)
+
+2. **NodeRenderer** (~1 day)
+   - Extract from `NodeGraphEditorNode.paint()`
+   - Parameterize colors, sizes for future customization
+   - Document the rendering anatomy of a node
+
+3. **ConnectionRenderer** (~1 day)
+   - Extract from `NodeGraphEditorConnection.paint()`
+   - Prepare for future routing algorithms
+   - Add support for trace highlighting (prep for Phase 6)
+
+4. **OverlayRenderer** (~0.5 days)
+   - Extract: multiselect box, drag preview, insert indicators
+   - These are temporary visual states
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- `rendering/` module with all renderers
+- Renderer unit tests
+- Clear separation: state management ≠ rendering
+
+**Confidence checkpoint:** Can modify node appearance without touching interaction code.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 5: Extract Interaction Handling (4-5 days)
+
+**Goal:** Untangle the mouse event spaghetti.
+
+**Tasks:**
+
+1. **InteractionManager** (~1 day)
+   - Central event router
+   - Delegates to specialized handlers based on state
+   - Manages interaction modes (normal, panning, dragging, connecting)
+
+2. **DragManager** (~1 day)
+   - Node drag start/move/end
+   - Drop target detection
+   - Insert location indicators
+
+3. **ConnectionDragManager** (~1 day)
+   - New connection creation flow
+   - Port detection and highlighting
+   - Connection preview rendering
+
+4. **PanZoomHandler** (~0.5 days)
+   - Mouse wheel zoom
+   - Right/middle click pan
+   - Space+drag pan
+
+5. **Refactor main mouse() method** (~0.5 days)
+   - Reduce to simple routing logic
+   - Each handler owns its interaction mode
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- `interaction/` module complete
+- Interaction tests (simulate mouse events)
+- `nodegrapheditor.ts` mouse handling reduced to ~50 lines
+
+**Confidence checkpoint:** Can add new interaction modes without touching existing handlers.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 6: Feature Enablement - Connection Tracer (3-4 days)
+
+**Goal:** Implement connection tracing as proof that the new architecture works.
+
+**Feature spec:**
+- Click a connection to start tracing
+- Highlighted connection chain shows the data flow path
+- Keyboard navigation (Tab/Shift+Tab) to walk the chain
+- Visual distinction for traced connections (glow, thicker line, different color)
+- Click elsewhere or Escape to clear trace
+
+**Tasks:**
+
+1. **ConnectionTracer module** (~1.5 days)
+   - Graph traversal logic
+   - Find upstream/downstream connections from a node's port
+   - Handle cycles gracefully
+
+2. **Visual integration** (~1 day)
+   - Extend `ConnectionRenderer` for trace state
+   - Add trace highlight color to theme
+   - Subtle animation for active trace (optional)
+
+3. **Interaction integration** (~1 day)
+   - Add to `InteractionManager`
+   - Keyboard handler for navigation
+   - Context menu option: "Trace connection"
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- `features/ConnectionTracer.ts` with full tests
+- Working connection tracing feature
+- Documentation for how to add similar features
+
+**Confidence checkpoint:** Feature works, and implementation was straightforward given new architecture.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 7: Feature Enablement - Comment Enhancements (2-3 days)
+
+**Goal:** Improve comment system as second proof point.
+
+**Feature spec:**
+- More color options
+- Border style options (solid, dashed, none)
+- Font size options (small, medium, large, extra-large)
+- Opacity control for filled comments
+- Corner radius options
+- Z-index control (send to back, bring to front)
+
+**Tasks:**
+
+1. **Extend comment model** (~0.5 days)
+   - Add new properties: borderStyle, fontSize, opacity, cornerRadius, zIndex
+   - Migration for existing comments (defaults)
+
+2. **Update CommentForeground controls** (~1 day)
+   - Extended toolbar UI
+   - New control components
+
+3. **Update rendering** (~0.5 days)
+   - Apply new styles in CommentBackground
+   - CSS updates
+
+4. **Tests** (~0.5 days)
+   - Comment styling tests
+   - Backward compatibility tests
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- Enhanced comment styling options
+- Updated `CommentStyles.ts`
+- Tests for new functionality

+
+---
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+Each extracted module gets comprehensive unit tests:
+
+```typescript
+// Example: ViewportManager.test.ts
+
+describe('ViewportManager', () => {
+  describe('screenToCanvas', () => {
+    it('converts screen coordinates at scale 1', () => {
+      const viewport = new ViewportManager({ width: 800, height: 600 });
+      viewport.setPan(100, 50);
+      
+      const result = viewport.screenToCanvas({ x: 200, y: 150 });
+      
+      expect(result).toEqual({ x: 100, y: 100 });
+    });
+    
+    it('accounts for scale when converting', () => {
+      const viewport = new ViewportManager({ width: 800, height: 600 });
+      viewport.setScale(0.5);
+      viewport.setPan(100, 50);
+      
+      const result = viewport.screenToCanvas({ x: 200, y: 150 });
+      
+      expect(result).toEqual({ x: 300, y: 250 });
+    });
+  });
+  
+  describe('fitToContent', () => {
+    it('adjusts pan and scale to show all nodes', () => {
+      // ...
+    });
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+Test module interactions:
+
+```typescript
+// Example: Selection + Rendering integration
+
+describe('Selection rendering integration', () => {
+  it('renders selection box around selected nodes', () => {
+    const graph = createTestGraph([
+      { id: 'node1', x: 0, y: 0 },
+      { id: 'node2', x: 200, y: 0 }
+    ]);
+    const selection = new SelectionManager();
+    const renderer = new CanvasRenderer();
+    
+    selection.select([graph.nodes[0], graph.nodes[1]]);
+    renderer.render(graph, selection);
+    
+    expect(renderer.getLastRenderCall()).toContainOverlay('multiselect-box');
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Characterization Tests
+
+Capture current behavior before refactoring:
+
+```typescript
+// Example: Existing pan behavior
+
+describe('Pan behavior (characterization)', () => {
+  it('right-click drag pans the viewport', async () => {
+    const editor = await createTestEditor();
+    const initialPan = editor.getPanAndScale();
+    
+    await editor.simulateMouseEvent('down', { x: 100, y: 100, button: 2 });
+    await editor.simulateMouseEvent('move', { x: 150, y: 120 });
+    await editor.simulateMouseEvent('up', { x: 150, y: 120, button: 2 });
+    
+    const finalPan = editor.getPanAndScale();
+    expect(finalPan.x - initialPan.x).toBe(50);
+    expect(finalPan.y - initialPan.y).toBe(20);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+---
+

+
+## Risks & Mitigations
+
+| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|--------|------------|
+| Hidden dependencies break during extraction | Medium | High | Extensive characterization tests before any changes |
+| Performance regression from module overhead | Low | Medium | Benchmark critical paths, keep hot loops tight |
+| Over-engineering abstractions | Medium | Medium | Extract only what exists, don't pre-build for imagined needs |
+| Scope creep into features | Medium | Medium | Strict phase gates, no features until Phase 6 |
+| Breaking existing user workflows | Low | High | Full test coverage, careful rollout |
+
+---
+
+## Estimated Timeline
+
+| Phase | Duration | Dependencies |
+|-------|----------|--------------|
+| Phase 1: Documentation | 3-4 days | None |
+| Phase 2: Testing Foundation | 4-5 days | Phase 1 |
+| Phase 3: Core Modules | 5-6 days | Phase 2 |
+| Phase 4: Rendering | 4-5 days | Phase 3 |
+| Phase 5: Interaction | 4-5 days | Phase 3, 4 |
+| Phase 6: Connection Tracer | 3-4 days | Phase 5 |
+| Phase 7: Comment Enhancements | 2-3 days | Phase 4 |
+
+**Total: 26-32 days** (5-7 weeks at sustainable pace)
+
+Phases 6 and 7 can be done in parallel or interleaved with other work.
+
+---
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1. Create feature branch: `feature/canvas-editor-modernization`
+2. Start with Phase 1 - no code changes, just documentation
+3. Review `ARCHITECTURE.md` with team before proceeding
+4. Set up CI for canvas tests before Phase 3
+5. Small, frequent commits with clear messages

+
+## Notes for AI-Assisted Development
+
+When working with Cline or similar tools on this refactoring:
+
+1. **Single module focus**: Work on one module at a time, complete with tests
+2. **Confidence checks**: After each extraction, verify tests pass before continuing
+3. **Small commits**: Each extraction should be a single, reviewable commit
+4. **Documentation first**: Update `ARCHITECTURE.md` as you go
+5. **No premature optimization**: Extract what exists, optimize later if needed
+
+Example prompt structure for Phase 3 extractions:
+```
+"Extract ViewportManager from nodegrapheditor.ts:
+1. Identify all pan/zoom/scale related code
+2. Create core/ViewportManager.ts with those methods
+3. Create interface IViewport in types.ts
+4. Add comprehensive unit tests
+5. Update nodegrapheditor.ts to use ViewportManager
+6. Verify all existing tests still pass
+7. Confidence score before committing?"

+# Future: Server-Side Rendering (SSR) Support
+
+> **Status**: Planning  
+> **Priority**: Medium  
+> **Complexity**: High  
+> **Prerequisites**: React 19 migration, HTTP node implementation
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+OpenNoodl has substantial existing SSR infrastructure that was developed but never shipped by the original Noodl team. This document outlines a path to completing and exposing SSR as a user-facing feature, giving users the choice between client-side rendering (CSR), server-side rendering (SSR), and static site generation (SSG).
+
+## Why SSR Matters
+
+### The Problem with Pure CSR
+
+Currently, Noodl apps are entirely client-side rendered:
+
+1. **SEO Limitations**: Search engine crawlers see an empty `<div id="root"></div>` until JavaScript executes
+2. **Social Sharing**: Link previews on Twitter, Facebook, Slack, etc. show blank or generic content
+3. **First Paint Performance**: Users see a blank screen while the runtime loads and initializes
+4. **Core Web Vitals**: Poor Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) scores affect search rankings
+
+### What SSR Provides
+
+| Metric | CSR | SSR | SSG |
+|--------|-----|-----|-----|
+| SEO | Poor | Excellent | Excellent |
+| Social Previews | Broken | Working | Working |
+| First Paint | Slow | Fast | Fastest |
+| Hosting Requirements | Static | Node.js Server | Static |
+| Dynamic Content | Real-time | Real-time | Build-time |
+| Build Complexity | Low | Medium | Medium |
+
+## Current State in Codebase
+
+### What Already Exists
+
+The original Noodl team built significant SSR infrastructure:
+
+**SSR Server (`packages/noodl-viewer-react/static/ssr/`)**
+- Express server with route handling
+- `ReactDOMServer.renderToString()` integration
+- Browser API polyfills (localStorage, fetch, XMLHttpRequest, requestAnimationFrame)
+- Result caching via `node-cache`
+- Graceful fallback to CSR on errors
+
+**SEO API (`Noodl.SEO`)**
+- `setTitle(value)` - Update document title
+- `setMeta(key, value)` - Set meta tags
+- `getMeta(key)` / `clearMeta()` - Manage meta tags
+- Designed specifically for SSR (no direct window access)
+
+**Deploy Infrastructure**
+- `runtimeType` parameter supports `'ssr'` value
+- Separate deploy index for SSR files (`ssr/index.json`)
+- Commented-out UI code showing intended deployment flow
+
+**Build Scripts**
+- `getPages()` API returns all routes with metadata
+- `createIndexPage()` generates HTML with custom meta tags
+- `expandPaths()` for dynamic route expansion
+- Sitemap generation support
+
+### What's Incomplete
+
+- SEO meta injection not implemented (`// TODO: Inject Noodl.SEO.meta`)
+- Page router issues (`// TODO: Maybe fix page router`)
+- No UI for selecting SSR deployment
+- No documentation or user guidance
+- Untested with modern component library
+- No hydration verification
+
+## Proposed User Experience
+
+### Option 1: Project-Level Setting
+
+Add rendering mode selection in Project Settings:
+
+```
+Rendering Mode:
+  ○ Client-Side (CSR) - Default, works with any static host
+  ○ Server-Side (SSR) - Better SEO, requires Node.js hosting  
+  ○ Static Generation (SSG) - Best performance, pre-renders at build time
+```
+
+**Pros**: Simple mental model, single source of truth  
+**Cons**: All-or-nothing, can't mix approaches
+
+### Option 2: Deploy-Time Selection
+
+Add rendering mode choice in Deploy popup:
+
+```
+Deploy Target:
+  [Static Files (CSR)]  [Node.js Server (SSR)]  [Pre-rendered (SSG)]
+```
+
+**Pros**: Flexible, same project can deploy differently  
+**Cons**: Could be confusing, settings disconnect
+
+### Option 3: Page-Level Configuration (Recommended)
+
+Add per-page rendering configuration in Page Router settings:
+
+```
+Page: /blog/{slug}
+  Rendering: [SSR ▼]
+  
+Page: /dashboard  
+  Rendering: [CSR ▼]
+  
+Page: /about
+  Rendering: [SSG ▼]
+```
+
+**Pros**: Maximum flexibility, matches real-world needs  
+**Cons**: More complex, requires smarter build system
+
+### Recommended Approach
+
+**Phase 1**: Start with Option 2 (Deploy-Time Selection) - simplest to implement  
+**Phase 2**: Add Option 1 (Project Setting) for default behavior  
+**Phase 3**: Consider Option 3 (Page-Level) based on user demand
+
+## Technical Implementation
+
+### Phase 1: Complete Existing SSR Infrastructure
+
+**1.1 Fix Page Router for SSR**
+- Ensure `globalThis.location` properly simulates browser location
+- Handle query parameters and hash fragments
+- Support Page Router navigation events
+
+**1.2 Implement SEO Meta Injection**
+```javascript
+// In ssr/index.js buildPage()
+const result = htmlData
+  .replace('<div id="root"></div>', `<div id="root">${output1}</div>`)
+  .replace('</head>', `${generateMetaTags(noodlRuntime.SEO.meta)}</head>`);
+```
+
+**1.3 Polyfill Audit**
+- Test all visual nodes in SSR context
+- Identify browser-only APIs that need polyfills
+- Create SSR compatibility matrix for nodes
+
+### Phase 2: Deploy UI Integration
+
+**2.1 Add SSR Option to Deploy Popup**
+```typescript
+// DeployToFolderTab.tsx
+<Select
+  options={[
+    { value: 'csr', label: 'Client-Side Rendering (Static)' },
+    { value: 'ssr', label: 'Server-Side Rendering (Node.js)' },
+    { value: 'ssg', label: 'Static Site Generation' }
+  ]}
+  value={renderingMode}
+  onChange={setRenderingMode}
+  label="Rendering Mode"
+/>
+```
+
+**2.2 SSR Deploy Flow**
+```typescript
+if (renderingMode === 'ssr') {
+  // Deploy SSR server files to root
+  await compilation.deployToFolder(direntry, {
+    environment,
+    runtimeType: 'ssr'
+  });
+  // Deploy static assets to /public
+  await compilation.deployToFolder(direntry + '/public', {
+    environment,
+    runtimeType: 'deploy'
+  });
+}
+```
+
+**2.3 SSG Build Flow**
+```typescript
+if (renderingMode === 'ssg') {
+  // Deploy static files
+  await compilation.deployToFolder(direntry, { environment });
+  
+  // Pre-render each page
+  const pages = await context.getPages({ expandPaths: ... });
+  for (const page of pages) {
+    const html = await prerenderPage(page.path);
+    await writeFile(`${direntry}${page.path}/index.html`, html);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Enhanced SEO Tools
+
+**3.1 SEO Node**
+Create a visual node for setting page metadata:
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────┐
+│ SEO Settings                │
+├─────────────────────────────┤
+│ ► Title          [string]   │
+│ ► Description    [string]   │
+│ ► Image URL      [string]   │
+│ ► Keywords       [string]   │
+│ ► Canonical URL  [string]   │
+│ ► Robots         [string]   │
+└─────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**3.2 Open Graph Support**
+Extend `Noodl.SEO` API:
+```javascript
+Noodl.SEO.setOpenGraph({
+  title: 'My Page',
+  description: 'Page description',
+  image: 'https://example.com/image.jpg',
+  type: 'website'
+});
+
+Noodl.SEO.setTwitterCard({
+  card: 'summary_large_image',
+  site: '@mysite'
+});
+```
+
+**3.3 Structured Data**
+```javascript
+Noodl.SEO.setStructuredData({
+  "@context": "https://schema.org",
+  "@type": "Article",
+  "headline": "My Article",
+  "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Author" }
+});
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Hosting Integration
+
+**4.1 One-Click Deploy Targets**
+- Vercel (native SSR support)
+- Netlify (serverless functions for SSR)
+- Railway / Render (Node.js hosting)
+- Docker container export
+
+**4.2 Deploy Configuration Generation**
+```javascript
+// Generate vercel.json
+{
+  "builds": [
+    { "src": "server.js", "use": "@vercel/node" },
+    { "src": "public/**", "use": "@vercel/static" }
+  ],
+  "routes": [
+    { "src": "/public/(.*)", "dest": "/public/$1" },
+    { "src": "/(.*)", "dest": "/server.js" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Component SSR Compatibility
+
+### Compatibility Levels
+
+**Level A: Full SSR Support**
+- Text, Group, Columns, Image (static src)
+- All layout nodes
+- Style properties
+
+**Level B: Hydration Required**
+- Video, Animation
+- Interactive components
+- Event handlers
+
+**Level C: Client-Only**
+- Camera, Geolocation
+- Local Storage operations
+- WebSocket connections
+
+### Handling Incompatible Components
+
+```javascript
+// In component definition
+{
+  ssr: {
+    supported: false,
+    fallback: '<div class="placeholder">Loading video...</div>'
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### SSR Test Suite
+1. **Render Tests**: Each node type renders correct HTML
+2. **Hydration Tests**: Client picks up server state correctly
+3. **SEO Tests**: Meta tags present in rendered output
+4. **Error Tests**: Graceful fallback on component errors
+5. **Performance Tests**: SSR response times under load
+
+### Validation Checklist
+- [ ] All visual nodes render without errors
+- [ ] Page Router navigates correctly
+- [ ] SEO meta tags injected properly
+- [ ] Hydration completes without mismatch warnings
+- [ ] Fallback to CSR works when SSR fails
+- [ ] Build scripts continue to work
+- [ ] Cloud functions unaffected
+
+## Open Questions
+
+1. **React 19 First?** Should we complete React 19 migration before SSR work? The SSR code uses React 17's `renderToString` - React 19 has different streaming APIs.
+
+2. **Streaming SSR?** React 18+ supports streaming SSR with Suspense. Should we support this for better TTFB?
+
+3. **Edge Runtime?** Should we support edge deployment (Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge) for lower latency?
+
+4. **Partial Hydration?** Should we implement islands architecture for selective hydration?
+
+5. **Preview in Editor?** Can we show SSR output in the editor for SEO debugging?
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+- **Adoption**: % of deploys using SSR/SSG modes
+- **SEO Improvement**: User-reported search ranking changes
+- **Performance**: Core Web Vitals improvements (LCP, FID, CLS)
+- **Developer Experience**: Time to deploy with SSR enabled

+# Creating Nodes in OpenNoodl
+
+This guide documents the complete process for creating new nodes in the OpenNoodl runtime, based on learnings from building the HTTP Request node.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Nodes in Noodl are defined in the `noodl-runtime` package and need to be:
+
+1. **Created** - Define the node in a `.js` file
+2. **Registered** - Add to `noodl-runtime.js`
+3. **Indexed** - Add to `nodelibraryexport.js` for Node Picker visibility
+
+---
+
+## Step 1: Create the Node File
+
+Create a new file in the appropriate category folder:
+
+```
+packages/noodl-runtime/src/nodes/std-library/
+├── data/           # Data nodes (REST, HTTP, collections)
+├── variables/      # Variable nodes (string, number, boolean)
+├── user/           # User authentication nodes
+└── *.js            # General utility nodes
+```
+
+### Basic Node Structure
+
+```javascript
+'use strict';
+
+var MyNode = {
+  // REQUIRED: Unique identifier for the node
+  name: 'net.noodl.MyNode',
+  
+  // REQUIRED: Display name in Node Picker and canvas
+  displayNodeName: 'My Node',
+  
+  // OPTIONAL: Documentation URL
+  docs: 'https://docs.noodl.net/nodes/category/my-node',
+  
+  // REQUIRED: Category for organization (Data, Visual, Logic, etc.)
+  category: 'Data',
+  
+  // OPTIONAL: Node color theme
+  // Options: 'data' (green), 'visual' (blue), 'component' (purple), 'javascript' (pink), 'default' (gray)
+  color: 'data',
+  
+  // OPTIONAL: Search keywords for Node Picker
+  searchTags: ['my', 'node', 'custom', 'example'],
+  
+  // OPTIONAL: Called when node instance is created
+  initialize: function () {
+    this._internal.myData = {};
+  },
+  
+  // OPTIONAL: Data shown in debug inspector
+  getInspectInfo() {
+    return this._internal.inspectData;
+  },
+  
+  // REQUIRED: Define input ports
+  inputs: {
+    inputName: {
+      type: 'string',           // See "Port Types" section below
+      displayName: 'Input Name',
+      group: 'General',         // Group in property panel
+      default: 'default value'
+    },
+    doAction: {
+      type: 'signal',
+      displayName: 'Do Action',
+      group: 'Actions'
+    }
+  },
+  
+  // REQUIRED: Define output ports
+  outputs: {
+    outputValue: {
+      type: 'string',
+      displayName: 'Output Value',
+      group: 'Results'
+    },
+    success: {
+      type: 'signal',
+      displayName: 'Success',
+      group: 'Events'
+    },
+    failure: {
+      type: 'signal',
+      displayName: 'Failure',
+      group: 'Events'
+    }
+  },
+  
+  // OPTIONAL: Methods to handle input changes
+  methods: {
+    setInputName: function (value) {
+      this._internal.inputName = value;
+      // Optionally trigger output update
+      this.flagOutputDirty('outputValue');
+    },
+    
+    // Signal handler - name must match input name with 'Trigger' suffix
+    doActionTrigger: function () {
+      // Perform the action
+      const result = this.processInput(this._internal.inputName);
+      this._internal.outputValue = result;
+      
+      // Update outputs
+      this.flagOutputDirty('outputValue');
+      this.sendSignalOnOutput('success');
+    }
+  },
+  
+  // OPTIONAL: Return output values
+  getOutputValue: function (name) {
+    if (name === 'outputValue') {
+      return this._internal.outputValue;
+    }
+  }
+};
+
+// REQUIRED: Export the node
+module.exports = {
+  node: MyNode,
+  
+  // OPTIONAL: Setup function for dynamic ports
+  setup: function (context, graphModel) {
+    // See "Dynamic Ports" section below
+  }
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 2: Register the Node
+
+Add the node to the `registerNodes` function in `packages/noodl-runtime/noodl-runtime.js`:
+
+```javascript
+function registerNodes(noodlRuntime) {
+  [
+    // ... existing nodes ...
+    
+    // Add your new node
+    require('./src/nodes/std-library/data/mynode'),
+    
+    // ... more nodes ...
+  ].forEach((node) => noodlRuntime.registerNode(node));
+}
+```
+
+**Important:** The order in this array doesn't matter, but group related nodes together for readability.
+
+---
+
+## Step 3: Add to Node Picker Index
+
+**CRITICAL:** This step is often forgotten! Without it, the node won't appear in the Node Picker.
+
+Edit `packages/noodl-runtime/src/nodelibraryexport.js` and add your node to the appropriate category in the `coreNodes` array:
+
+```javascript
+const coreNodes = [
+  // ... other categories ...
+  {
+    name: 'Read & Write Data',
+    description: 'Arrays, objects, cloud data',
+    type: 'data',
+    subCategories: [
+      // ... other subcategories ...
+      {
+        name: 'External Data',
+        items: ['net.noodl.MyNode', 'REST2']  // Add your node name here
+      }
+    ]
+  },
+  // ... more categories ...
+];
+```
+
+---
+
+## Port Types
+
+### Common Input/Output Types
+
+| Type | Description | Example Use |
+|------|-------------|-------------|
+| `string` | Text value | URLs, names, content |
+| `number` | Numeric value | Counts, sizes, coordinates |
+| `boolean` | True/false | Toggles, conditions |
+| `signal` | Trigger without data | Action buttons, events |
+| `object` | JSON object | API responses, data structures |
+| `array` | List of items | Collections, results |
+| `color` | Color value | Styling |
+| `*` | Any type | Generic ports |
+
+### Input-Specific Types
+
+| Type | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `{ name: 'enum', enums: [...] }` | Dropdown selection |
+| `{ name: 'stringlist' }` | List of strings (comma-separated) |
+| `{ name: 'number', min, max }` | Number with constraints |
+
+### Example Enum Input
+
+```javascript
+inputs: {
+  method: {
+    type: {
+      name: 'enum',
+      enums: [
+        { value: 'GET', label: 'GET' },
+        { value: 'POST', label: 'POST' },
+        { value: 'PUT', label: 'PUT' },
+        { value: 'DELETE', label: 'DELETE' }
+      ]
+    },
+    displayName: 'Method',
+    default: 'GET',
+    group: 'Request'
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Dynamic Ports
+
+Dynamic ports are created at runtime based on configuration. This is useful when the number or names of ports depend on user settings.
+
+### Setup Function Pattern
+
+```javascript
+module.exports = {
+  node: MyNode,
+  
+  setup: function (context, graphModel) {
+    // Only run in editor, not deployed
+    if (!context.editorConnection || !context.editorConnection.isRunningLocally()) {
+      return;
+    }
+
+    function updatePorts(nodeId, parameters, editorConnection) {
+      const ports = [];
+      
+      // Always include base ports from node definition
+      // Add dynamic ports based on parameters
+      if (parameters.items) {
+        parameters.items.split(',').forEach((item) => {
+          ports.push({
+            name: 'item-' + item.trim(),
+            displayName: item.trim(),
+            type: 'string',
+            plug: 'input',
+            group: 'Items'
+          });
+        });
+      }
+      
+      // Send ports to editor
+      editorConnection.sendDynamicPorts(nodeId, ports);
+    }
+
+    function managePortsForNode(node) {
+      updatePorts(node.id, node.parameters || {}, context.editorConnection);
+
+      node.on('parameterUpdated', function (event) {
+        if (event.name === 'items') {
+          updatePorts(node.id, node.parameters, context.editorConnection);
+        }
+      });
+    }
+
+    // Listen for graph import completion
+    graphModel.on('editorImportComplete', () => {
+      // Listen for new nodes of this type
+      graphModel.on('nodeAdded.net.noodl.MyNode', function (node) {
+        managePortsForNode(node);
+      });
+
+      // Handle existing nodes
+      for (const node of graphModel.getNodesWithType('net.noodl.MyNode')) {
+        managePortsForNode(node);
+      }
+    });
+  }
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+## Handling Signals
+
+Signals are trigger-based ports (no data, just an event).
+
+### Receiving Signals (Input)
+
+```javascript
+// In methods object
+methods: {
+  // Pattern: inputName + 'Trigger'
+  fetchTrigger: function () {
+    // Called when 'fetch' signal is triggered
+    this.doFetch();
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Sending Signals (Output)
+
+```javascript
+// Send a signal pulse
+this.sendSignalOnOutput('success');
+this.sendSignalOnOutput('failure');
+```
+
+---
+
+## Updating Outputs
+
+When an output value changes, you must flag it as dirty:
+
+```javascript
+// Flag a single output
+this.flagOutputDirty('outputValue');
+
+// Flag multiple outputs
+this.flagOutputDirty('response');
+this.flagOutputDirty('statusCode');
+
+// Then send signal if needed
+this.sendSignalOnOutput('complete');
+```
+
+---
+
+## Async Operations
+
+For asynchronous operations (API calls, file I/O), use standard async patterns:
+
+```javascript
+methods: {
+  fetchTrigger: function () {
+    const self = this;
+    
+    fetch(this._internal.url)
+      .then(response => response.json())
+      .then(data => {
+        self._internal.response = data;
+        self.flagOutputDirty('response');
+        self.sendSignalOnOutput('success');
+      })
+      .catch(error => {
+        self._internal.error = error.message;
+        self.flagOutputDirty('error');
+        self.sendSignalOnOutput('failure');
+      });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Debug Inspector
+
+Provide data for the debug inspector popup:
+
+```javascript
+getInspectInfo() {
+  // Return an array of objects with type and value
+  return [
+    { type: 'text', value: 'Status: ' + this._internal.status },
+    { type: 'value', value: this._internal.response }
+  ];
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing Your Node
+
+1. Start the dev server: `npm run dev`
+2. Open the Node Picker (click in the node graph)
+3. Search for your node by name or search tags
+4. Navigate to the category to verify placement
+5. Add the node and test inputs/outputs
+6. Check console for any errors
+
+---
+
+## Common Issues
+
+### Node Not Appearing in Node Picker
+
+**Cause:** Node not added to `nodelibraryexport.js` coreNodes array.
+
+**Fix:** Add the node name to the appropriate subcategory items array.
+
+### "Cannot read property of undefined" Errors
+
+**Cause:** Accessing `this._internal` before `initialize()` runs.
+
+**Fix:** Always check for undefined or initialize values in `initialize()`.
+
+### Outputs Not Updating
+
+**Cause:** Forgot to call `flagOutputDirty()`.
+
+**Fix:** Call `this.flagOutputDirty('portName')` after setting internal value.
+
+### Signal Not Firing
+
+**Cause:** Method name doesn't match pattern `inputName + 'Trigger'`.
+
+**Fix:** Ensure signal handler method is named correctly (e.g., `fetchTrigger` for input `fetch`).
+

+# OpenNoodl Runtime Architecture - Deep Dive
+
+This document captures learnings about the Noodl runtime system, specifically how `noodl-runtime` and `noodl-viewer-react` work together to render Noodl projects.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+The Noodl runtime is split into two main packages:
+
+| Package | Purpose |
+|---------|---------|
+| `noodl-runtime` | Core node execution, data flow, graph processing |
+| `noodl-viewer-react` | React-based rendering of visual nodes |
+
+The **editor** uses these packages to render the preview, and **deployed projects** use them directly in the browser.
+
+---
+
+## How React is Loaded
+
+**Key Insight:** React is NOT an npm dependency of noodl-viewer-react. Instead, it's loaded as external UMD scripts.
+
+### Webpack Configuration
+```javascript
+// webpack-configs/webpack.common.js
+module.exports = {
+  externals: {
+    react: 'React',
+    'react-dom': 'ReactDOM'
+  }
+};
+```
+
+This means:
+- `import React from 'react'` actually references `window.React`
+- `import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'` references `window.ReactDOM`
+
+### Where React Bundles Live
+```
+packages/noodl-viewer-react/static/shared/
+├── react.production.min.js       # React UMD bundle
+└── react-dom.production.min.js   # ReactDOM UMD bundle
+```
+
+These are loaded via `<script>` tags before the viewer bundle in deployed projects.
+
+---
+
+## Entry Points
+
+The package has three entry points for different use cases:
+
+| Entry File | Purpose | Used By |
+|------------|---------|---------|
+| `index.viewer.js` | Editor preview | Editor iframe |
+| `index.deploy.js` | Production deployments | Exported projects |
+| `index.ssr.js` | Server-side rendering | SSR builds |
+
+### The `_viewerReact` API
+
+All entry points expose `window.Noodl._viewerReact`:
+
+```javascript
+// index.viewer.js
+window.Noodl._viewerReact = NoodlViewerReact;
+```
+
+The API provides:
+- `render(element, modules, options)` - Render in editor preview
+- `renderDeployed(element, modules, projectData)` - Render deployed project
+- `createElement(modules, projectData)` - Create React element (SSR)
+
+---
+
+## Main Render Flow
+
+### 1. noodl-viewer-react.js
+
+This is the heart of the rendering system:
+
+```javascript
+export default {
+  render(element, noodlModules, { isLocal = false }) {
+    const noodlRuntime = new NoodlRuntime(runtimeArgs);
+    ReactDOM.render(
+      React.createElement(Viewer, { noodlRuntime, noodlModules }),
+      element
+    );
+  },
+  
+  renderDeployed(element, noodlModules, projectData) {
+    // Supports SSR hydration
+    if (element.children[0]?.hasAttribute('data-reactroot')) {
+      ReactDOM.hydrate(this.createElement(...), element);
+    } else {
+      ReactDOM.render(this.createElement(...), element);
+    }
+  }
+};
+```
+
+### 2. Viewer Component (viewer.jsx)
+
+The `Viewer` is a React class component that:
+- Initializes the runtime
+- Registers built-in nodes
+- Manages popup overlays
+- Handles editor connectivity (websocket)
+- Renders the root component
+
+```javascript
+export default class Viewer extends React.Component {
+  constructor(props) {
+    // Initialize runtime
+    registerNodes(noodlRuntime);
+    NoodlJSAPI(noodlRuntime);
+    
+    // Listen for graph updates
+    noodlRuntime.eventEmitter.on('rootComponentUpdated', () => {
+      requestAnimationFrame(() => this.forceUpdate());
+    });
+  }
+  
+  render() {
+    const rootComponent = this.props.noodlRuntime.rootComponent;
+    return rootComponent.render();
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## The Node-to-React Bridge
+
+### createNodeFromReactComponent
+
+This is the **most important function** for understanding visual nodes. Located in `react-component-node.js`, it creates a Noodl node definition from a React component definition.
+
+```javascript
+// Example node definition
+const GroupNodeDef = {
+  name: 'net.noodl.visual.group',
+  getReactComponent: () => Group,
+  frame: {
+    dimensions: true,
+    position: true
+  },
+  inputs: { ... },
+  outputs: { ... }
+};
+
+// Create node from definition
+const groupNode = createNodeFromReactComponent(GroupNodeDef);
+```
+
+### NoodlReactComponent Wrapper
+
+Every visual node gets wrapped in `NoodlReactComponent`:
+
+```javascript
+class NoodlReactComponent extends React.Component {
+  render() {
+    const { noodlNode, style, ...otherProps } = this.props;
+    
+    // Merge Noodl styling with React props
+    let finalStyle = noodlNode.style;
+    if (style) {
+      finalStyle = { ...noodlNode.style, ...style };
+    }
+    
+    // Render the actual React component
+    return React.createElement(
+      noodlNode.reactComponent,
+      props,
+      noodlNode.renderChildren()
+    );
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### The Render Method
+
+Each Noodl node has a `render()` method that returns React elements:
+
+```javascript
+render() {
+  if (!this.wantsToBeMounted) return;
+  
+  return React.createElement(NoodlReactComponent, {
+    key: this.reactKey,
+    noodlNode: this,
+    ref: (ref) => {
+      this.reactComponentRef = ref;
+      // DOM node tracking via findDOMNode (deprecated)
+      this.boundingBoxObserver.setTarget(ReactDOM.findDOMNode(ref));
+    }
+  });
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## State Synchronization Pattern
+
+### The forceUpdate Pattern
+
+Noodl nodes don't use React state. Instead, they use `forceUpdate()`:
+
+```javascript
+forceUpdate() {
+  if (this.forceUpdateScheduled) return;
+  this.forceUpdateScheduled = true;
+
+  // Wait until end of frame to batch updates
+  this.context.eventEmitter.once('frameEnd', () => {
+    this.forceUpdateScheduled = false;
+    
+    // Don't re-render if already rendered this frame
+    if (this.renderedAtFrame === this.context.frameNumber) return;
+    
+    this.reactComponentRef?.setState({});
+  });
+  
+  this.context.scheduleUpdate();
+}
+```
+
+**Why this pattern?**
+- Noodl's data flow system may update many inputs in one frame
+- Batching prevents excessive re-renders
+- The `renderedAtFrame` check prevents duplicate renders
+
+### scheduleAfterInputsHaveUpdated
+
+For actions that depend on multiple inputs settling:
+
+```javascript
+this.scheduleAfterInputsHaveUpdated(() => {
+  // All inputs have been processed
+  this.updateChildIndices();
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## Visual States and Variants
+
+### Visual States
+
+Nodes can have states like `hover`, `pressed`, `focused`:
+
+```javascript
+setVisualStates(newStates) {
+  const prevStateParams = this.getParametersForStates(this.currentVisualStates);
+  const newStateParams = this.getParametersForStates(newStates);
+  
+  for (const param in newValues) {
+    // Apply transitions or immediate updates
+    if (stateTransition[param]?.curve) {
+      transitionParameter(this, param, newValues[param], stateTransition[param]);
+    } else {
+      this.queueInput(param, newValues[param]);
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Variants
+
+Variants allow pre-defined style variations:
+
+```javascript
+setVariant(variant) {
+  this.variant = variant;
+  
+  // Merge parameters: base variant → node parameters → states
+  const parameters = {};
+  variant && mergeDeep(parameters, variant.parameters);
+  mergeDeep(parameters, this.model.parameters);
+  
+  if (this.currentVisualStates) {
+    const stateParameters = this.getParametersForStates(this.currentVisualStates);
+    mergeDeep(parameters, stateParameters);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Children Management
+
+### Adding/Removing Children
+
+```javascript
+addChild(child, index) {
+  child.parent = this;
+  this.children.splice(index, 0, child);
+  this.cachedChildren = undefined;  // Invalidate cache
+  this.scheduleUpdateChildCountAndIndicies();
+  this.forceUpdate();
+}
+
+removeChild(child) {
+  const index = this.children.indexOf(child);
+  if (index !== -1) {
+    this.children.splice(index, 1);
+    child.parent = undefined;
+    this.cachedChildren = undefined;
+    this.forceUpdate();
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### The cachedChildren Optimization
+
+```javascript
+renderChildren() {
+  if (!this.cachedChildren) {
+    let c = this.children.map((child) => child.render());
+    let children = [];
+    flattenArray(children, c);
+    
+    // Handle edge cases
+    if (children.length === 0) children = null;
+    else if (children.length === 1) children = children[0];
+    
+    this.cachedChildren = children;
+  }
+  return this.cachedChildren;
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## DOM Access Patterns
+
+### Current Pattern (Deprecated)
+
+```javascript
+getDOMElement() {
+  const ref = this.getRef();
+  return ReactDOM.findDOMNode(ref);  // ← Deprecated in React 18+
+}
+```
+
+### The setStyle Method
+
+Direct DOM manipulation for performance:
+
+```javascript
+setStyle(newStyles, styleTag) {
+  // Update internal style object
+  for (const p in newStyles) {
+    styleObject[p] = newStyles[p];
+  }
+  
+  const domElement = this.getDOMElement();
+  
+  // Some changes require a full React re-render
+  if (needsForceUpdate) {
+    this.forceUpdate();
+  } else {
+    // Direct DOM update for performance
+    setStylesOnDOMNode(domElement, newStyles, styleTag);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## SSR Support
+
+### Server Setup Function
+
+```javascript
+export function ssrSetupRuntime(noodlRuntime, noodlModules, projectData) {
+  registerNodes(noodlRuntime);
+  NoodlJSAPI(noodlRuntime);
+  noodlRuntime.setProjectSettings(projectSettings);
+  
+  // Register modules
+  for (const module of noodlModules) {
+    noodlRuntime.registerModule(module);
+  }
+  
+  noodlRuntime.setData(projectData);
+  noodlRuntime._disableLoad = true;
+}
+```
+
+### triggerDidMount for SSR
+
+```javascript
+triggerDidMount() {
+  if (this.wantsToBeMounted && !this.didCallTriggerDidMount) {
+    this.didCallTriggerDidMount = true;
+    
+    if (this.hasOutput('didMount')) {
+      this.sendSignalOnOutput('didMount');
+    }
+    
+    // Recursively trigger for children
+    this.children.forEach((child) => {
+      child.triggerDidMount?.();
+    });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Known Issues & Gotchas
+
+### 1. UNSAFE_componentWillReceiveProps
+
+Used in `Group.tsx` and `Drag.tsx` for prop comparison. These need to be converted to `componentDidUpdate(prevProps)` for React 19 compatibility.
+
+### 2. ReactDOM.findDOMNode
+
+Used throughout `react-component-node.js` for DOM access. This is deprecated and needs replacement with callback refs.
+
+### 3. Class Components
+
+The runtime uses class components extensively because:
+- Need lifecycle control (`componentDidMount`, `componentWillUnmount`)
+- `forceUpdate()` pattern doesn't work with function components
+- Historical reasons
+
+### 4. React Key Counter
+
+```javascript
+let reactKeyCounter = 0;
+
+function createNodeFromReactComponent(def) {
+  // ...
+  initialize() {
+    this.reactKey = 'key' + reactKeyCounter;
+    reactKeyCounter++;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Keys are global counters to ensure uniqueness. The `_resetReactVirtualDOM` method can reset a node's key to force complete re-render.

+## React 18/19 Migration Patterns
+
+### [2025-12-08] - React 18+ Removed ReactDOM.render() and unmountComponentAtNode()
+
+**Context**: After React 19 migration, node graph editor was completely broken - right-click showed grab hand instead of node picker, couldn't click nodes or drag wires.
+
+**Discovery**: React 18 removed the legacy `ReactDOM.render()` and `ReactDOM.unmountComponentAtNode()` APIs. Code using these APIs throws errors like:
+- `ReactDOM.render is not a function`
+- `ReactDOM.unmountComponentAtNode is not a function`
+
+The migration pattern is:
+
+```javascript
+// Before (React 17):
+import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
+ReactDOM.render(<Component />, container);
+ReactDOM.unmountComponentAtNode(container);
+
+// After (React 18+):
+import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
+const root = createRoot(container);
+root.render(<Component />);
+root.unmount();
+```
+
+**Important**: If rendering multiple times to the same container, you must:
+1. Create the root only ONCE
+2. Store the root reference
+3. Call `root.render()` for subsequent updates
+4. Call `root.unmount()` when disposing
+
+Creating `createRoot()` on every render causes: "You are calling ReactDOMClient.createRoot() on a container that has already been passed to createRoot() before."

+---
+
+### [2025-12-08] - React 18+ createRoot() Renders Asynchronously
+
+**Context**: After migrating to React 18+ createRoot, the NodePicker popup appeared offset to the bottom-right corner instead of centered.
+
+**Discovery**: Unlike the old synchronous `ReactDOM.render()`, React 18's `createRoot().render()` is asynchronous. If code measures DOM dimensions immediately after calling `render()`, the React component hasn't painted yet.
+
+In PopupLayer.showPopup():
+```javascript
+this.$('.popup-layer-popup-content').append(content);
+var contentWidth = content.outerWidth(true);   // Returns 0!
+var contentHeight = content.outerHeight(true); // Returns 0!
+```
+
+When dimensions are zero, the centering calculation `x = this.width / 2 - 0 / 2` places the popup at the far right.
+
+**Fix Options**:
+1. **Set explicit dimensions** on the container div before React renders (recommended for fixed-size components)
+2. Use `requestAnimationFrame` or `setTimeout` before measuring
+3. Use a ResizeObserver to detect when content renders
+
+For NodePicker (which has fixed 800x600 dimensions in CSS), the simplest fix was setting dimensions on the container div before React renders:
+```javascript
+render() {
+  const div = document.createElement('div');
+  div.style.width = '800px';
+  div.style.height = '600px';
+  this.renderReact(div);  // createRoot is async
+  return this.el;
+}
+```

+## Electron & Node.js Patterns
+
+### [2025-12-14] - EPIPE Errors When Writing to stdout
+
+**Context**: Editor was crashing with `Error: write EPIPE` when trying to open projects.
+
+**Discovery**: EPIPE errors occur when a process tries to write to stdout/stderr but the receiving pipe has been closed (e.g., the terminal or parent process that spawned the subprocess is gone). In Electron apps, this happens when:
+- The terminal that started `npm run dev` is closed before the app
+- The parent process that spawned a child dies unexpectedly
+- stdout is redirected to a file that gets closed
+
+Cloud-function-server.js was calling `console.log()` during project operations. When the stdout pipe was broken, the error bubbled up and crashed the editor.
+
+**Fix**: Wrap console.log calls in a try-catch:
+```javascript
+function safeLog(...args) {
+  try {
+    console.log(...args);
+  } catch (e) {
+    // Ignore EPIPE errors - stdout pipe may be broken
+  }
+}

+## Webpack & Build Patterns
+
+### [2025-12-14] - Webpack SCSS Cache Can Persist Old Files
+
+**Context**: MigrationWizard.module.scss was fixed on disk but webpack kept showing errors for a removed import line.
+
+**Discovery**: Webpack's sass-loader caches compiled SCSS files aggressively. Even after fixing a file on disk, if an old error is cached, webpack may continue to report the stale error. This is especially confusing because:
+- `cat` and `grep` show the correct file contents
+- But webpack reports errors for lines that no longer exist
+- The webpack process may be from a previous session that cached the old content
+
+**Fix Steps**:
+1. Kill ALL webpack processes: `pkill -9 -f webpack`
+2. Clear webpack cache: `rm -rf node_modules/.cache/` in the affected package
+3. Touch the file to force rebuild: `touch path/to/file.scss`
+4. Restart dev server fresh

+## Event-Driven UI Patterns
+
+### [2025-12-14] - Async Detection Requires Re-render Listener
+
+**Context**: Migration UI badges weren't showing on legacy projects even though runtime detection was working.
+
+**Discovery**: In OpenNoodl's jQuery-based View system, the template is rendered once when `render()` is called. If data is populated asynchronously (e.g., runtime detection), the UI won't update unless you explicitly listen for a completion event and re-render.
+
+The pattern:
+1. `renderProjectItems()` is called - projects show without runtime info
+2. `detectAllProjectRuntimes()` runs async in background
+3. Detection completes, `runtimeDetectionComplete` event fires
+4. BUT... no one was listening → UI stays stale
+
+**Fix**: Subscribe to the async completion event in the View:
+```javascript
+this.projectsModel.on('runtimeDetectionComplete', () => this.renderProjectItemsPane(), this);
+```
+
+This pattern applies to any async data in the jQuery View system:
+- Runtime detection
+- Cloud service status
+- Git remote checks
+- etc.

+
+## CSS & Styling Patterns
+
+### [2025-12-14] - BaseDialog `::after` Pseudo-Element Blocks Clicks
+
+**Context**: Migration wizard popup buttons weren't clickable at all - no response to any interaction.
+
+**Discovery**: The BaseDialog component uses a `::after` pseudo-element on `.VisibleDialog` to render the background color. This pseudo covers the entire dialog area:
+
+```scss
+.VisibleDialog {
+  &::after {
+    position: absolute;
+    top: 0;
+    left: 0;
+    right: 0;
+    bottom: 0;
+    background-color: var(--background);
+    // Without pointer-events: none, this blocks all clicks!
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The `.ChildContainer` has `z-index: 1` which should put it above the `::after`, but due to stacking context behavior with `filter: drop-shadow()` on the parent, clicks were being intercepted by the pseudo-element.
+
+**Fix**: Add `pointer-events: none` to the `::after` pseudo-element:
+```scss
+&::after {
+  // ...existing styles...
+  pointer-events: none; // Allow clicks to pass through
+}
+```

+
+**Keywords**: BaseDialog, ::after, pointer-events, click not working, buttons broken, Modal, dialog
+
+---
+
+### [2025-12-14] - Theme Color Variables Are `--theme-color-*` Not `--color-*`
+
+**Context**: Migration wizard UI appeared gray-on-gray with unreadable text.
+
+**Discovery**: OpenNoodl's theme system uses CSS variables prefixed with `--theme-color-*`, NOT `--color-*`. Using undefined variables like `--color-grey-800` results in invalid/empty values causing display issues.
+
+**Correct Variables:**
+| Wrong | Correct |
+|-------|---------|
+| `--color-grey-800` | `--theme-color-bg-3` |
+| `--color-grey-700` | `--theme-color-bg-2` |
+| `--color-grey-400`, `--color-grey-300` | `--theme-color-secondary-as-fg` (for text!) |
+| `--color-grey-200`, `--color-grey-100` | `--theme-color-fg-highlight` |
+| `--color-primary` | `--theme-color-primary` |
+| `--color-success-500` | `--theme-color-success` |
+| `--color-warning` | `--theme-color-warning` |
+| `--color-danger` | `--theme-color-danger` |
+
+**Location**: Any SCSS module files in `@noodl-core-ui` or `noodl-editor`
+
+**Keywords**: CSS variables, theme-color, --color, --theme-color, gray text, contrast, undefined variable, SCSS
+
+---
+
+### [2025-12-14] - `--theme-color-secondary` Is NOT For Text - Use `--theme-color-secondary-as-fg`
+
+**Context**: Migration wizard text was impossible to read even after using `--theme-color-*` prefix.
+
+**Discovery**: Two commonly misused theme variables cause text to be unreadable:
+
+1. **`--theme-color-fg-1` doesn't exist!** The correct variable is:
+   - `--theme-color-fg-highlight` = `#f5f5f5` (white/light text)
+   - `--theme-color-fg-default` = `#b8b8b8` (normal text)
+   - `--theme-color-fg-default-shy` = `#9a9999` (subtle text)
+   - `--theme-color-fg-muted` = `#7e7d7d` (muted text)
+
+2. **`--theme-color-secondary` is a BACKGROUND color!** 
+   - `--theme-color-secondary` = `#005769` (dark teal - use for backgrounds only!)
+   - `--theme-color-secondary-as-fg` = `#7ec2cf` (light teal - use for text!)
+
+When text appears invisible/gray, check for these common mistakes:
+```scss
+// WRONG - produces invisible text
+color: var(--theme-color-fg-1);           // Variable doesn't exist!
+color: var(--theme-color-secondary);       // Dark teal background color!
+
+// CORRECT - visible text
+color: var(--theme-color-fg-highlight);    // White text
+color: var(--theme-color-secondary-as-fg); // Light teal text
+```
+
+**Color Reference from `colors.css`:**
+```css
+--theme-color-bg-1: #151414;  /* Darkest background */
+--theme-color-bg-2: #292828;
+--theme-color-bg-3: #3c3c3c;
+--theme-color-bg-4: #504f4f;  /* Lightest background */
+
+--theme-color-fg-highlight: #f5f5f5;       /* Bright white text */

+
+### [2025-12-14] - Flex Container Scrolling Requires `min-height: 0`
+
+**Context**: Migration wizard content wasn't scrollable on shorter screens.
+
+**Discovery**: When using flexbox with `overflow: auto` on a child, the child needs `min-height: 0` (or `min-width: 0` for horizontal) to allow it to shrink below its content size. Without this, the default `min-height: auto` prevents shrinking and breaks scrolling.
+
+**Pattern:**
+```scss
+.Parent {
+  display: flex;
+  flex-direction: column;
+  max-height: 80vh;
+  overflow: hidden;
+}
+
+.ScrollableChild {
+  flex: 1;
+  min-height: 0;  // Critical! Allows shrinking
+  overflow-y: auto;
+}
+```
+
+The `min-height: 0` overrides the default `min-height: auto` which would prevent the element from being smaller than its content.
+
+**Location**: Any scrollable flex container, e.g., `MigrationWizard.module.scss`
+
+**Keywords**: flex, overflow, scroll, min-height, flex-shrink, not scrolling, content cut off
+
+---
+
+### [2025-12-14] - useReducer State Must Be Initialized Before Actions Work
+
+**Context**: Migration wizard "Start Migration" button did nothing - no errors, no state change, no visual feedback.
+
+**Discovery**: When using `useReducer` to manage component state, all action handlers typically guard against null state:
+```typescript
+case 'START_SCAN':
+  if (!state.session) return state;  // Does nothing if session is null!
+  return { ...state, session: { ...state.session, step: 'scanning' } };
+```
+
+The bug pattern:
+1. Component initializes with `session: null` in reducer state
+2. External manager (`migrationSessionManager`) creates and stores the session
+3. UI renders using `manager.getSession()` - works fine
+4. Button click dispatches action to reducer
+5. Reducer checks `if (!state.session)` → returns unchanged state
+6. Nothing happens - no errors, no visual change
+
+The fix is to dispatch a `SET_SESSION` action to initialize the reducer state:
+```typescript
+// In useEffect after creating session:
+const session = await manager.createSession(...);
+dispatch({ type: 'SET_SESSION', session });  // Initialize reducer!
+
+// In reducer:
+case 'SET_SESSION':
+  return { ...state, session: action.session };
+```
+
+**Key Insight**: If using both an external manager AND useReducer, the reducer state must be explicitly synchronized with the manager's state for actions to work.

+### [2025-12-14] - CoreBaseDialog vs Modal Component Patterns
+
+**Context**: Migration wizard popup wasn't working - clicks blocked, layout broken.
+
+**Discovery**: OpenNoodl has two dialog patterns:
+
+1. **CoreBaseDialog** (Working, Recommended):
+   - Direct component from `@noodl-core-ui/components/layout/BaseDialog`
+   - Used by ConfirmDialog and other working dialogs
+   - Props: `isVisible`, `hasBackdrop`, `onClose`
+   - Content is passed as children
+
+2. **Modal** (Problematic):
+   - Wrapper component with additional complexity
+   - Was causing issues with click handling and layout
+
+When creating new dialogs, use the CoreBaseDialog pattern:
+```tsx
+import { CoreBaseDialog } from '@noodl-core-ui/components/layout/BaseDialog';
+
+<CoreBaseDialog isVisible hasBackdrop onClose={onCancel}>
+  <div className={css['YourContainer']}>
+    {/* Your content */}
+  </div>
+</CoreBaseDialog>
+```

+## Project Migration System
+
+### [2024-12-15] - Runtime Cache Must Persist Between App Sessions
+
+**Context**: After migrating a project from React 17 to React 19, the project showed as React 19 (not legacy) immediately after migration. However, after closing and reopening the Electron app, the same project was flagged as legacy again.
+
+**Discovery**: The `LocalProjectsModel` had a runtime version cache (`runtimeInfoCache`) that was stored in memory only. The cache would:
+1. Correctly detect the migrated project as React 19
+2. Show "React 19" badge in the UI
+3. But on app restart, the cache was empty
+4. Runtime detection would run again from scratch
+5. During the detection delay, the project appeared as "legacy" 
+
+The `runtimeInfoCache` was a `Map<string, RuntimeVersionInfo>` with no persistence. Every app restart lost the cache, forcing re-detection and causing a race condition where the UI rendered before detection completed.
+
+**Fix**: Added electron-store persistence for the runtime cache:
+```typescript
+private runtimeCacheStore = new Store({
+  name: 'project_runtime_cache'
+});
+
+private loadRuntimeCache(): void {
+  const cached = this.runtimeCacheStore.get('cache') as Record<string, RuntimeVersionInfo>;
+  if (cached) {
+    this.runtimeInfoCache = new Map(Object.entries(cached));
+  }
+}
+
+private saveRuntimeCache(): void {
+  const cacheObject = Object.fromEntries(this.runtimeInfoCache.entries());
+  this.runtimeCacheStore.set('cache', cacheObject);
+}
+```
+
+Now the cache survives app restarts, so migrated projects stay marked as React 19 permanently.

+
+### [2024-12-15] - Binary Files Corrupted When Using readFile/writeFile for Copying
+
+**Context**: After migrating a project using the migration system, font files weren't loading in the migrated project. Text appeared with default system fonts instead of custom project fonts. All other files (JSON, JS, CSS) worked correctly.
+
+**Discovery**: The `MigrationSession.copyDirectoryRecursive()` method was copying ALL files using:
+```typescript
+const content = await filesystem.readFile(sourceItemPath);
+await filesystem.writeFile(targetItemPath, content);
+```
+
+The `filesystem.readFile()` method reads files as UTF-8 text strings. When font files (.ttf, .woff, .woff2, .otf) are read as text:
+1. Binary data gets corrupted by UTF-8 encoding
+2. Invalid bytes are replaced with <20> (replacement character)
+3. The resulting file is not a valid font
+4. Browser's FontLoader fails silently to load the font
+5. Text falls back to system fonts
+
+Images (.png, .jpg) would have the same issue. Any binary file copied this way becomes corrupted.
+
+**Fix**: Use `filesystem.copyFile()` which handles binary files correctly:
+```typescript
+// Before (corrupts binary files):
+const content = await filesystem.readFile(sourceItemPath);
+await filesystem.writeFile(targetItemPath, content);
+
+// After (preserves binary files):
+await filesystem.copyFile(sourceItemPath, targetItemPath);
+```
+
+The `copyFile` method in the platform API is specifically designed for copying files while preserving their binary content intact.
+
+**How Fonts Work in Noodl**: Font files are stored in the project directory (e.g., `fonts/MyFont.ttf`). The project.json references them by filename. The FontLoader in the viewer runtime loads them at runtime with `@font-face` CSS. If the font file is corrupted, the load fails silently and system fonts are used.
+
+**Location**:

+- Font loading: `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/fontloader.js`

+## Preview & Web Server
+
+### [2024-12-15] - Custom Fonts 404 Due to Missing MIME Types
+
+**Context**: Custom fonts (TTF, OTF, WOFF, WOFF2) weren't loading in editor preview. Console showed 404 errors and "OTS parsing error: GDEF: misaligned table" messages. Users thought the dev server wasn't serving project files.
+
+**Discovery**: The web server WAS already serving project directory files correctly (lines 166-172 in web-server.js already handle project path lookups). The real issue was the `getContentType()` function only had MIME types for `.ttf` fonts, not for modern formats:
+- `.otf` → Missing
+- `.woff` → Missing  
+- `.woff2` → Missing
+
+When browsers requested these files, they received them with the default `text/html` content-type. Browsers then tried to parse binary font data as HTML, which fails with confusing OTS parsing errors.
+
+Also found a bug: the `.wav` case was missing a `break;` statement, causing it to fall through to `.mp4`.
+
+**Fix**: Add missing MIME types to the switch statement:
+```javascript
+case '.otf':
+  contentType = 'font/otf';
+  break;
+case '.woff':
+  contentType = 'font/woff';
+  break;
+case '.woff2':
+  contentType = 'font/woff2';
+  break;
+```
+
+**Key Insight**: The task documentation assumed we needed to add project file serving infrastructure (middleware, protocol handlers, etc.). The architecture was already correct - we just needed proper MIME type mapping. This turned a 4-6 hour task into a 5-minute fix.
+
+**Location**: `packages/noodl-editor/src/main/src/web-server.js` (getContentType function)
+
+**Keywords**: fonts, MIME types, 404, OTS parsing error, web server, preview, TTF, OTF, WOFF, WOFF2, content-type
+
+---
+
+### [2024-12-15] - Legacy Project Fonts Need Fallback Path Resolution
+
+**Context**: After fixing MIME types, new projects loaded fonts correctly but legacy/migrated projects still showed 404 errors for fonts. Investigation revealed font URLs were being requested without folder prefixes.
+
+**Discovery**: OpenNoodl stores font paths in project.json relative to the project root. The FontPicker component (fontpicker.js) generates these paths from `fileEntry.fullPath.substring(ProjectModel.instance._retainedProjectDirectory.length + 1)`:
+
+- If font is at `/project/fonts/Inter.ttf` → stored as `fonts/Inter.ttf`
+- If font is at `/project/Inter.ttf` → stored as `Inter.ttf`
+
+Legacy projects may have fonts stored in different locations or with different path conventions. When the viewer requests a font URL like `/Inter.ttf`, the server looks for `{projectDir}/Inter.ttf`, but the font might actually be at `{projectDir}/fonts/Inter.ttf`.
+
+**The Font Loading Chain**:
+1. Node parameter stores fontFamily: `"Inter-Regular.ttf"`
+2. `node-shared-port-definitions.js` calls `FontLoader.instance.loadFont(family)`
+3. `fontloader.js` uses `getAbsoluteUrl(fontURL)` which prepends `Noodl.baseUrl` (usually `/`)
+4. Browser requests `GET /Inter-Regular.ttf`
+5. Server tries `projectDirectory + /Inter-Regular.ttf`
+6. If not found → 404
+
+**Fix**: Added font fallback mechanism in web-server.js that searches common locations when a font isn't found:
+```javascript
+if (fontExtensions.includes(ext)) {
+  const filename = path.split('/').pop();
+  const fallbackPaths = [
+    info.projectDirectory + '/fonts' + path,           // /fonts/filename.ttf
+    info.projectDirectory + '/fonts/' + filename,      // /fonts/filename.ttf
+    info.projectDirectory + '/' + filename,            // /filename.ttf (root)
+    info.projectDirectory + '/assets/fonts/' + filename // /assets/fonts/filename.ttf
+  ];
+  
+  for (const fallbackPath of fallbackPaths) {
+    if (fs.existsSync(fallbackPath)) {
+      console.log(`Font fallback: ${path} -> ${fallbackPath}`);
+      serveFile(fallbackPath, request, response);
+      return;
+    }
+  }
+}
+```

+# TASK-002: React 19 UI Fixes - Changelog
+
+## 2025-12-08
+
+### Investigation
+- Identified root cause: Legacy React 17 APIs still in use after Phase 1 migration
+- Found 3 files requiring migration:
+  - `nodegrapheditor.debuginspectors.js` - Uses `ReactDOM.render()` and `unmountComponentAtNode()`
+  - `commentlayer.ts` - Creates new `createRoot()` on every render
+  - `TextStylePicker.jsx` - Uses `ReactDOM.render()` and `unmountComponentAtNode()`
+- Confirmed these errors cause all reported UI bugs (node picker, config panel, wire connectors)
+
+### Changes Made
+
+#### nodegrapheditor.debuginspectors.js
+- **Before**: Used `ReactDOM.render()` at line 60, `ReactDOM.unmountComponentAtNode()` at line 64
+- **After**: Migrated to React 18+ `createRoot()` API with proper root management
+
+#### commentlayer.ts  
+- **Before**: Created new roots on every `_renderReact()` call, causing React warnings
+- **After**: Check if roots exist before creating, reuse existing roots
+
+#### TextStylePicker.jsx
+- **Before**: Used `ReactDOM.render()` and `unmountComponentAtNode()` in useEffect
+- **After**: Migrated to `createRoot()` API with proper cleanup
+
+### Testing Notes
+- [ ] Verified right-click node picker works
+- [ ] Verified plus icon node picker positions correctly
+- [ ] Verified node config panel appears
+- [ ] Verified wire connectors can be dragged
+- [ ] Verified no more React 19 API errors in console
+
+### Code Changes Summary
+
+**nodegrapheditor.debuginspectors.js:**
+- Changed import from `require('react-dom')` to `require('react-dom/client')`
+- Added `this.root` property to store React root reference
+- `render()`: Now creates root only once with `createRoot()`, reuses for subsequent renders
+- `dispose()`: Uses `this.root.unmount()` instead of `ReactDOM.unmountComponentAtNode()`
+
+**commentlayer.ts:**
+- `_renderReact()`: Now checks if roots exist before calling `createRoot()`
+- `renderTo()`: Properly resets roots to `null` after unmounting when switching divs
+- `dispose()`: Added null checks before unmounting
+
+**TextStylePicker.jsx:**
+- Changed import from `ReactDOM from 'react-dom'` to `{ createRoot } from 'react-dom/client'`
+- `useEffect`: Creates local root with `createRoot()`, renders popup, unmounts in cleanup
+
+**nodegrapheditor.ts:**
+- Added `toolbarRoots: Root[]` array to store toolbar React roots
+- Added `titleRoot: Root | null` for the title bar root
+- Toolbar rendering now creates roots only once and reuses them
+- `reset()`: Properly unmounts all toolbar roots and title root
+
+**createnewnodepanel.ts:**
+- Added explicit `width: 800px; height: 600px` on container div before React renders
+- This fixes popup positioning since React 18's `createRoot()` is async
+- PopupLayer measures dimensions immediately after appending, but async render hasn't finished
+- With explicit dimensions, PopupLayer calculates correct centered position

+# TASK-002: React 19 UI Fixes
+
+## Overview
+
+This task addresses critical React 19 API migration issues that were not fully completed during Phase 1. These issues are causing multiple UI bugs in the node graph editor.
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+After the React 19 migration in Phase 1, several legacy React 17 APIs are still being used in the codebase:
+- `ReactDOM.render()` - Removed in React 18+
+- `ReactDOM.unmountComponentAtNode()` - Removed in React 18+
+- Incorrect `createRoot()` usage (creating new roots on every render)
+
+These errors crash the node graph editor's mouse event handlers, causing:
+- Right-click shows 'grab' hand instead of node picker
+- Plus icon node picker appears at wrong position and overflows
+- Node config panel doesn't appear when clicking nodes
+- Wire connectors don't respond to clicks
+
+## Error Messages
+
+```
+ReactDOM.render is not a function
+    at DebugInspectorPopup.render (nodegrapheditor.debuginspectors.js:60)
+
+ReactDOM.unmountComponentAtNode is not a function
+    at DebugInspectorPopup.dispose (nodegrapheditor.debuginspectors.js:64)
+
+You are calling ReactDOMClient.createRoot() on a container that has already 
+been passed to createRoot() before.
+    at _renderReact (commentlayer.ts:145)
+```
+
+## Affected Files
+
+| File | Issue | Priority |
+|------|-------|----------|
+| `nodegrapheditor.debuginspectors.js` | Uses legacy `ReactDOM.render()` & `unmountComponentAtNode()` | **Critical** |
+| `commentlayer.ts` | Creates new `createRoot()` on every render | **High** |
+| `TextStylePicker.jsx` | Uses legacy `ReactDOM.render()` & `unmountComponentAtNode()` | **Medium** |
+
+## Solution
+
+### Pattern 1: Replace ReactDOM.render() / unmountComponentAtNode()
+
+```javascript
+// Before (React 17):
+const ReactDOM = require('react-dom');
+ReactDOM.render(<Component />, container);
+ReactDOM.unmountComponentAtNode(container);
+
+// After (React 18+):
+import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
+const root = createRoot(container);
+root.render(<Component />);
+root.unmount();
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Reuse Existing Roots
+
+```typescript
+// Before (Wrong):
+_renderReact() {
+  this.root = createRoot(this.div);
+  this.root.render(<Component />);
+}
+
+// After (Correct):
+_renderReact() {
+  if (!this.root) {
+    this.root = createRoot(this.div);
+  }
+  this.root.render(<Component />);
+}
+```

+
+---
+
+## Changes Made

+
+## Build Verification
+
+- ✅ `npm run ci:build:viewer` passed successfully
+- ✅ Webpack compiled with no errors
+- ✅ React externals properly configured (`external "React"`, `external "ReactDOM"`)
+

+
+## Why React 18.3.1 Instead of React 19?
+
+React 19 (released December 2024) **removed UMD build support**. The Noodl runtime architecture relies on loading React as external UMD bundles via webpack externals:
+
+```javascript
+// webpack.config.js
+externals: {
+  react: 'React',
+  'react-dom': 'ReactDOM'
+}
+```
+
+React 18.3.1 is:
+- The last version with official UMD bundles
+- Fully compatible with createRoot/hydrateRoot APIs
+- Provides a stable foundation for deployed projects
+
+Future consideration: Evaluate ESM-based loading or custom React 19 bundle generation.

+# Cline Rules: Runtime React 19 Upgrade
+
+## Task Context
+Upgrading noodl-viewer-react runtime from React 16.8 to React 19. This is the code that runs in deployed user projects.
+
+## Key Constraints
+
+### DO NOT
+- Touch the editor code (noodl-editor) - that's a separate task
+- Remove any existing node functionality
+- Change the public API of `window.Noodl._viewerReact`
+- Batch multiple large changes in one commit
+
+### MUST DO
+- Backup files before replacing
+- Test after each significant change
+- Watch browser console for React errors
+- Preserve existing node behavior exactly
+
+## Critical Files
+
+### Replace These React Bundles
+```
+packages/noodl-viewer-react/static/shared/react.production.min.js
+packages/noodl-viewer-react/static/shared/react-dom.production.min.js
+```
+Source: https://unpkg.com/react@19/umd/
+
+### Update Entry Point (location TBD - search for it)
+Find where `_viewerReact.render` is defined and change:
+```javascript
+// OLD
+ReactDOM.render(<App />, element);
+
+// NEW
+import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
+const root = createRoot(element);
+root.render(<App />);
+```
+
+### Update SSR
+```
+packages/noodl-viewer-react/static/ssr/package.json  // Change React version
+packages/noodl-viewer-react/static/ssr/index.js      // May need API updates
+```
+
+## Search Patterns for Broken Code
+
+Run these and fix any matches:
+```bash
+# CRITICAL - These are REMOVED in React 19
+grep -rn "componentWillMount" src/
+grep -rn "componentWillReceiveProps" src/
+grep -rn "componentWillUpdate" src/
+grep -rn "UNSAFE_componentWill" src/
+
+# REMOVED - String refs
+grep -rn 'ref="' src/
+grep -rn "ref='" src/
+
+# REMOVED - Legacy context
+grep -rn "contextTypes" src/
+grep -rn "childContextTypes" src/
+grep -rn "getChildContext" src/
+```
+
+## Lifecycle Migration Patterns
+
+### componentWillMount → componentDidMount
+```javascript
+// Just move the code - componentDidMount runs after first render but that's usually fine
+componentDidMount() {
+  // code that was in componentWillMount
+}
+```
+
+### componentWillReceiveProps → getDerivedStateFromProps
+```javascript
+static getDerivedStateFromProps(props, state) {
+  if (props.value !== state.prevValue) {
+    return { computed: derive(props.value), prevValue: props.value };
+  }
+  return null;
+}
+```
+
+### String refs → createRef
+```javascript
+// OLD
+<input ref="myInput" />
+this.refs.myInput.focus();
+
+// NEW
+this.myInputRef = React.createRef();
+<input ref={this.myInputRef} />
+this.myInputRef.current.focus();
+```
+
+## Testing Checkpoints
+
+After each phase, verify in browser:
+1. ✓ Editor preview loads without console errors
+2. ✓ Basic nodes render (Group, Text, Button)
+3. ✓ Click events fire signals
+4. ✓ Hover states work
+5. ✓ Repeater renders lists
+6. ✓ Deploy build works
+
+## Red Flags - Stop and Ask
+
+- White screen with no console output
+- "Invalid hook call" error
+- Any error mentioning "fiber" or "reconciler"
+- Build fails after React bundle replacement
+
+## Commit Strategy
+
+```
+feat(runtime): replace React bundles with v19
+feat(runtime): migrate entry point to createRoot
+fix(runtime): update [node-name] for React 19 compatibility
+feat(runtime): update SSR for React 19
+docs: add React 19 migration guide
+```
+
+## When Done
+
+- [ ] All grep searches return zero results for deprecated patterns
+- [ ] Editor preview works
+- [ ] Deploy build works
+- [ ] No React warnings in console
+- [ ] SSR still functions (if it was working before)

+# TASK: Runtime React 19 Upgrade
+
+## Overview
+
+Upgrade the OpenNoodl runtime (`noodl-viewer-react`) from React 16.8/17 to React 19. This affects deployed/published projects.
+
+**Priority:** HIGH - Do this BEFORE adding new nodes to avoid migration debt.
+
+**Estimated Duration:** 2-3 days focused work
+
+## Goals
+
+1. Replace bundled React 16.8 with React 19
+2. Update entry point rendering to use `createRoot()` API
+3. Ensure all built-in nodes are React 19 compatible
+4. Update SSR to use React 19 server APIs
+5. Maintain backward compatibility for simple user projects
+
+## Pre-Work Checklist
+
+Before starting, confirm you can:
+- [ ] Run the editor locally (`npm run dev`)
+- [ ] Build the viewer-react package
+- [ ] Create a test project with various nodes (Group, Text, Button, Repeater, etc.)
+- [ ] Deploy a test project
+
+## Phase 1: React Bundle Replacement
+
+### 1.1 Locate Current React Bundles
+
+```bash
+# Find all React bundles in the runtime
+find packages/noodl-viewer-react -name "react*.js" -o -name "react*.min.js"
+```
+
+Expected locations:
+- `packages/noodl-viewer-react/static/shared/react.production.min.js`
+- `packages/noodl-viewer-react/static/shared/react-dom.production.min.js`
+
+### 1.2 Download React 19 Production Bundles
+
+Get React 19 UMD production builds from:
+- https://unpkg.com/react@19/umd/react.production.min.js
+- https://unpkg.com/react-dom@19/umd/react-dom.production.min.js
+
+```bash
+cd packages/noodl-viewer-react/static/shared
+
+# Backup current files
+cp react.production.min.js react.production.min.js.backup
+cp react-dom.production.min.js react-dom.production.min.js.backup
+
+# Download React 19
+curl -o react.production.min.js https://unpkg.com/react@19/umd/react.production.min.js
+curl -o react-dom.production.min.js https://unpkg.com/react-dom@19/umd/react-dom.production.min.js
+```
+
+### 1.3 Update SSR Dependencies
+
+File: `packages/noodl-viewer-react/static/ssr/package.json`
+
+```json
+{
+  "dependencies": {
+    "react": "^19.0.0",
+    "react-dom": "^19.0.0"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Phase 2: Entry Point Migration
+
+### 2.1 Locate Entry Point Render Implementation
+
+Search for where `_viewerReact.render` and `_viewerReact.renderDeployed` are defined:
+
+```bash
+grep -r "_viewerReact" packages/noodl-viewer-react/src --include="*.js" --include="*.ts"
+grep -r "ReactDOM.render" packages/noodl-viewer-react/src --include="*.js" --include="*.ts"
+```
+
+### 2.2 Update to createRoot API
+
+**Before (React 17):**
+```javascript
+import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
+
+window.Noodl._viewerReact = {
+  render(rootElement, modules, options) {
+    const App = createApp(modules, options);
+    ReactDOM.render(<App />, rootElement);
+  },
+  
+  renderDeployed(rootElement, modules, projectData) {
+    const App = createDeployedApp(modules, projectData);
+    ReactDOM.render(<App />, rootElement);
+  }
+};
+```
+
+**After (React 19):**
+```javascript
+import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
+
+// Store root reference for potential unmounting
+let currentRoot = null;
+
+window.Noodl._viewerReact = {
+  render(rootElement, modules, options) {
+    const App = createApp(modules, options);
+    currentRoot = createRoot(rootElement);
+    currentRoot.render(<App />);
+  },
+  
+  renderDeployed(rootElement, modules, projectData) {
+    const App = createDeployedApp(modules, projectData);
+    currentRoot = createRoot(rootElement);
+    currentRoot.render(<App />);
+  },
+  
+  unmount() {
+    if (currentRoot) {
+      currentRoot.unmount();
+      currentRoot = null;
+    }
+  }
+};
+```
+
+### 2.3 Update SSR Rendering
+
+File: `packages/noodl-viewer-react/static/ssr/index.js`
+
+**Before:**
+```javascript
+const ReactDOMServer = require('react-dom/server');
+const output = ReactDOMServer.renderToString(ViewerComponent);
+```
+
+**After (React 19):**
+```javascript
+// React 19 server APIs - check if this package structure changed
+const { renderToString } = require('react-dom/server');
+const output = renderToString(ViewerComponent);
+```
+
+Note: React 19 server rendering APIs should be similar but verify the import paths.
+
+## Phase 3: Built-in Node Audit
+
+### 3.1 Search for Legacy Lifecycle Methods
+
+These are REMOVED in React 19 (not just deprecated):
+
+```bash
+cd packages/noodl-viewer-react
+
+# Search for dangerous patterns
+grep -rn "componentWillMount" src/
+grep -rn "componentWillReceiveProps" src/
+grep -rn "componentWillUpdate" src/
+grep -rn "UNSAFE_componentWillMount" src/
+grep -rn "UNSAFE_componentWillReceiveProps" src/
+grep -rn "UNSAFE_componentWillUpdate" src/
+```
+
+### 3.2 Search for Other Deprecated Patterns
+
+```bash
+# String refs (removed)
+grep -rn "ref=\"" src/
+grep -rn "ref='" src/
+
+# Legacy context (removed)
+grep -rn "contextTypes" src/
+grep -rn "childContextTypes" src/
+grep -rn "getChildContext" src/
+
+# createFactory (removed)
+grep -rn "createFactory" src/
+
+# findDOMNode (deprecated, may still work)
+grep -rn "findDOMNode" src/
+```
+
+### 3.3 Fix Legacy Patterns
+
+**componentWillMount → useEffect or componentDidMount:**
+```javascript
+// Before (class component)
+componentWillMount() {
+  this.setupData();
+}
+
+// After (class component)
+componentDidMount() {
+  this.setupData();
+}
+
+// Or convert to functional
+useEffect(() => {
+  setupData();
+}, []);
+```
+
+**componentWillReceiveProps → getDerivedStateFromProps or useEffect:**
+```javascript
+// Before
+componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps) {
+  if (nextProps.value !== this.props.value) {
+    this.setState({ derived: computeDerived(nextProps.value) });
+  }
+}
+
+// After (class component)
+static getDerivedStateFromProps(props, state) {
+  if (props.value !== state.prevValue) {
+    return {
+      derived: computeDerived(props.value),
+      prevValue: props.value
+    };
+  }
+  return null;
+}
+
+// Or functional with useEffect
+useEffect(() => {
+  setDerived(computeDerived(value));
+}, [value]);
+```
+
+**String refs → createRef or useRef:**
+```javascript
+// Before
+<input ref="myInput" />
+this.refs.myInput.focus();
+
+// After (class)
+constructor() {
+  this.myInputRef = React.createRef();
+}
+<input ref={this.myInputRef} />
+this.myInputRef.current.focus();
+
+// After (functional)
+const myInputRef = useRef();
+<input ref={myInputRef} />
+myInputRef.current.focus();
+```
+
+## Phase 4: createNodeFromReactComponent Wrapper
+
+### 4.1 Locate the Wrapper Implementation
+
+```bash
+grep -rn "createNodeFromReactComponent" packages/noodl-viewer-react/src --include="*.js" --include="*.ts"
+```
+
+### 4.2 Audit the Wrapper
+
+Check if the wrapper:
+1. Uses any legacy lifecycle methods internally
+2. Uses legacy context for passing data
+3. Uses findDOMNode
+
+The wrapper likely manages:
+- `forceUpdate()` calls (should still work)
+- Ref handling (ensure using callback refs or createRef)
+- Style injection
+- Child management
+
+### 4.3 Update if Necessary
+
+If the wrapper uses class components internally, ensure they don't use deprecated lifecycles.
+
+## Phase 5: Testing
+
+### 5.1 Create Test Project
+
+Create a Noodl project that uses:
+- [ ] Group nodes (basic container)
+- [ ] Text nodes
+- [ ] Button nodes with click handlers
+- [ ] Image nodes
+- [ ] Repeater (For Each) nodes
+- [ ] Navigation/Page Router
+- [ ] States and Variants
+- [ ] Custom JavaScript nodes (if the API supports it)
+
+### 5.2 Test Scenarios
+
+1. **Basic Rendering**
+   - Open project in editor preview
+   - Verify all nodes render correctly
+
+2. **Interactions**
+   - Click buttons, verify signals fire
+   - Hover states work
+   - Input fields accept text
+
+3. **Dynamic Updates**
+   - Repeater data changes reflect in UI
+   - State changes trigger re-renders
+
+4. **Navigation**
+   - Page transitions work
+   - URL routing works
+
+5. **Deploy Test**
+   - Export/deploy project
+   - Open in browser
+   - Verify everything works in production build
+
+### 5.3 SSR Test (if applicable)
+
+```bash
+cd packages/noodl-viewer-react/static/ssr
+npm install
+npm run build
+npm start
+# Visit http://localhost:3000 and verify server rendering works
+```
+
+## Phase 6: Documentation & Migration Guide
+
+### 6.1 Create Migration Guide for Users
+
+File: `docs/REACT-19-MIGRATION.md`
+
+```markdown
+# React 19 Runtime Migration Guide
+
+## What Changed
+
+OpenNoodl runtime now uses React 19. This affects deployed projects.
+
+## Who Needs to Act
+
+Most projects will work without changes. You may need updates if you have:
+- Custom JavaScript nodes using React class components
+- Custom modules using legacy React patterns
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+These patterns NO LONGER WORK:
+
+1. **componentWillMount** - Use componentDidMount instead
+2. **componentWillReceiveProps** - Use getDerivedStateFromProps or effects
+3. **componentWillUpdate** - Use getSnapshotBeforeUpdate
+4. **String refs** - Use createRef or useRef
+5. **Legacy context** - Use React.createContext
+
+## How to Check Your Project
+
+1. Open your project in the new OpenNoodl
+2. Check the console for warnings
+3. Test all interactive features
+4. If issues, review custom JavaScript code
+
+## Need Help?
+
+- Community Discord: [link]
+- GitHub Issues: [link]
+```
+
+## Verification Checklist
+
+Before considering this task complete:
+
+- [ ] React 19 bundles are in place
+- [ ] Entry point uses `createRoot()`
+- [ ] All built-in nodes render correctly
+- [ ] No console errors about deprecated APIs
+- [ ] Deploy builds work
+- [ ] SSR works (if used)
+- [ ] Documentation updated
+
+## Rollback Plan
+
+If issues are found:
+1. Restore backup React bundles
+2. Revert entry point changes
+3. Document what broke for future fix
+
+Keep backups:
+```bash
+packages/noodl-viewer-react/static/shared/react.production.min.js.backup
+packages/noodl-viewer-react/static/shared/react-dom.production.min.js.backup
+```
+
+## Files Modified Summary
+
+| File | Change |
+|------|--------|
+| `static/shared/react.production.min.js` | Replace with React 19 |
+| `static/shared/react-dom.production.min.js` | Replace with React 19 |
+| `static/ssr/package.json` | Update React version |
+| `src/[viewer-entry].js` | Use createRoot API |
+| `src/nodes/*.js` | Fix any legacy patterns |
+
+## Notes for Cline
+
+1. **Confidence Check:** Before each major change, verify you understand what the code does
+2. **Small Steps:** Make one change, test, commit. Don't batch large changes.
+3. **Console is King:** Watch for React warnings in browser console
+4. **Backup First:** Always backup before replacing files
+5. **Ask if Unsure:** If you hit something unexpected, pause and analyze
+
+## Expected Warnings You Can Ignore
+
+React 19 may show these development-only warnings that are OK:
+- "React DevTools" messages
+- Strict Mode double-render warnings (expected behavior)
+
+## Red Flags - Stop and Investigate
+
+- "Invalid hook call" - Something is using hooks incorrectly
+- "Cannot read property of undefined" - Likely a ref issue
+- White screen with no errors - Check the console in DevTools
+- "Element type is invalid" - Component not exported correctly

+# React 19 Migration System - Implementation Overview
+
+## Feature Summary
+
+A comprehensive migration system that allows users to safely upgrade legacy Noodl projects (React 17) to the new OpenNoodl runtime (React 19), with optional AI-assisted code migration.
+
+## Core Principles
+
+1. **Never modify originals** - All migrations create a copy first
+2. **Transparent progress** - Users see exactly what's happening and why
+3. **Graceful degradation** - Partial success is still useful
+4. **Cost consent** - AI assistance is opt-in with explicit budgets
+5. **No dead ends** - Every failure state has a clear next step
+
+## Feature Components
+
+| Spec | Description | Priority |
+|------|-------------|----------|
+| [01-PROJECT-DETECTION](./01-PROJECT-DETECTION.md) | Detecting legacy projects and visual indicators | P0 |
+| [02-MIGRATION-WIZARD](./02-MIGRATION-WIZARD.md) | The migration flow UI and logic | P0 |
+| [03-AI-MIGRATION](./03-AI-MIGRATION.md) | AI-assisted code migration system | P1 |
+| [04-POST-MIGRATION-UX](./04-POST-MIGRATION-UX.md) | Editor experience after migration | P0 |
+| [05-NEW-PROJECT-NOTICE](./05-NEW-PROJECT-NOTICE.md) | Messaging for new project creation | P2 |
+
+## Implementation Order
+
+### Phase 1: Core Migration (No AI)
+1. Project detection and version checking
+2. Migration wizard UI (scan, report, execute)
+3. Automatic migrations (no code changes needed)
+4. Post-migration indicators in editor
+
+### Phase 2: AI-Assisted Migration
+1. API key configuration and storage
+2. Budget control system
+3. Claude integration for code migration
+4. Retry logic and failure handling
+
+### Phase 3: Polish
+1. New project messaging
+2. Migration log viewer
+3. "Dismiss" functionality for warnings
+4. Help documentation links
+

+## Dependencies
+
+### New Dependencies Needed
+
+```json
+{
+  "@anthropic-ai/sdk": "^0.24.0",
+  "@babel/parser": "^7.24.0",
+  "@babel/traverse": "^7.24.0",
+  "@babel/generator": "^7.24.0"
+}
+```
+
+### Why These Dependencies
+
+- **@anthropic-ai/sdk** - Official Anthropic SDK for Claude API calls
+- **@babel/*** - Parse and transform JavaScript/JSX for code analysis and automatic fixes
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **API Key Storage**
+   - Store in electron-store with encryption
+   - Never log or transmit to OpenNoodl servers
+   - Clear option to remove stored key
+
+2. **Cost Controls**
+   - Hard budget limits enforced client-side
+   - Cannot be bypassed without explicit user action
+   - Clear display of costs before and after
+
+3. **Code Execution**
+   - AI-generated code is shown to user before applying
+   - Verification step before saving changes
+   - Full undo capability via project copy
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+- ProjectScanner correctly identifies all issue types
+- Cost estimator accuracy within 20%
+- Code transformer handles edge cases
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Full migration flow with mock AI responses
+- Budget controls enforce limits
+- Project copy is byte-identical to original
+
+### Manual Testing
+- Test with real legacy Noodl projects
+- Test with projects containing various issue types
+- Test AI migration with real API calls (budget: $5)
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+- 95% of projects with only built-in nodes migrate automatically
+- AI successfully migrates 80% of custom code on first attempt
+- Zero data loss incidents
+- Average migration time < 5 minutes for typical project

+# 01 - Project Detection and Visual Indicators
+
+## Overview
+
+Detect legacy React 17 projects and display clear visual indicators throughout the UI so users understand which projects need migration.
+
+## Detection Logic
+
+### When to Check
+
+1. **On app startup** - Scan recent projects list
+2. **On "Open Project"** - Check selected folder
+3. **On project list refresh** - Re-scan visible projects
+
+### How to Detect Runtime Version
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/migration/ProjectScanner.ts
+
+interface RuntimeVersionInfo {
+  version: 'react17' | 'react19' | 'unknown';
+  confidence: 'high' | 'medium' | 'low';
+  indicators: string[];
+}
+
+async function detectRuntimeVersion(projectPath: string): Promise<RuntimeVersionInfo> {
+  const indicators: string[] = [];
+  
+  // Check 1: Explicit version in project.json (most reliable)
+  const projectJson = await readProjectJson(projectPath);
+  if (projectJson.runtimeVersion) {
+    return {
+      version: projectJson.runtimeVersion,
+      confidence: 'high',
+      indicators: ['Explicit runtimeVersion field in project.json']
+    };
+  }
+  
+  // Check 2: Look for migratedFrom field (indicates already migrated)
+  if (projectJson.migratedFrom) {
+    return {
+      version: 'react19',
+      confidence: 'high',
+      indicators: ['Project has migratedFrom metadata']
+    };
+  }
+  
+  // Check 3: Check project version number
+  // OpenNoodl 1.2+ = React 19, earlier = React 17
+  const editorVersion = projectJson.editorVersion || projectJson.version;
+  if (editorVersion) {
+    const [major, minor] = editorVersion.split('.').map(Number);
+    if (major >= 1 && minor >= 2) {
+      indicators.push(`Editor version ${editorVersion} >= 1.2`);
+      return { version: 'react19', confidence: 'high', indicators };
+    } else {
+      indicators.push(`Editor version ${editorVersion} < 1.2`);
+      return { version: 'react17', confidence: 'high', indicators };
+    }
+  }
+  
+  // Check 4: Heuristic - scan for React 17 specific patterns in custom code
+  const customCodePatterns = await scanForLegacyPatterns(projectPath);
+  if (customCodePatterns.found) {
+    indicators.push(...customCodePatterns.patterns);
+    return { version: 'react17', confidence: 'medium', indicators };
+  }
+  
+  // Check 5: If project was created before OpenNoodl fork, assume React 17
+  const projectCreated = projectJson.createdAt || await getProjectCreationDate(projectPath);
+  if (projectCreated && new Date(projectCreated) < new Date('2024-01-01')) {
+    indicators.push('Project created before OpenNoodl fork');
+    return { version: 'react17', confidence: 'medium', indicators };
+  }
+  
+  // Default: Assume React 19 for truly unknown projects
+  return {
+    version: 'unknown',
+    confidence: 'low',
+    indicators: ['No version indicators found']
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### Legacy Pattern Scanner
+
+```typescript
+// Quick scan for legacy React patterns in JavaScript files
+
+interface LegacyPatternScan {
+  found: boolean;
+  patterns: string[];
+  files: Array<{ path: string; line: number; pattern: string; }>;
+}
+
+async function scanForLegacyPatterns(projectPath: string): Promise<LegacyPatternScan> {
+  const jsFiles = await glob(`${projectPath}/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}`, {
+    ignore: ['**/node_modules/**']
+  });
+  
+  const legacyPatterns = [
+    { regex: /componentWillMount\s*\(/, name: 'componentWillMount' },
+    { regex: /componentWillReceiveProps\s*\(/, name: 'componentWillReceiveProps' },
+    { regex: /componentWillUpdate\s*\(/, name: 'componentWillUpdate' },
+    { regex: /UNSAFE_componentWillMount/, name: 'UNSAFE_componentWillMount' },
+    { regex: /UNSAFE_componentWillReceiveProps/, name: 'UNSAFE_componentWillReceiveProps' },
+    { regex: /UNSAFE_componentWillUpdate/, name: 'UNSAFE_componentWillUpdate' },
+    { regex: /ref\s*=\s*["'][^"']+["']/, name: 'String ref' },
+    { regex: /contextTypes\s*=/, name: 'Legacy contextTypes' },
+    { regex: /childContextTypes\s*=/, name: 'Legacy childContextTypes' },
+    { regex: /getChildContext\s*\(/, name: 'getChildContext' },
+    { regex: /React\.createFactory/, name: 'createFactory' },
+  ];
+  
+  const results: LegacyPatternScan = {
+    found: false,
+    patterns: [],
+    files: []
+  };
+  
+  for (const file of jsFiles) {
+    const content = await fs.readFile(file, 'utf-8');
+    const lines = content.split('\n');
+    
+    for (const pattern of legacyPatterns) {
+      lines.forEach((line, index) => {
+        if (pattern.regex.test(line)) {
+          results.found = true;
+          if (!results.patterns.includes(pattern.name)) {
+            results.patterns.push(pattern.name);
+          }
+          results.files.push({
+            path: file,
+            line: index + 1,
+            pattern: pattern.name
+          });
+        }
+      });
+    }
+  }
+  
+  return results;
+}
+```

+
+## Read-Only Mode
+
+When opening a legacy project in read-only mode:
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/projectmodel.ts
+
+interface ProjectOpenOptions {
+  readOnly?: boolean;
+  legacyMode?: boolean;
+}

+  const project = await ProjectModel.fromDirectory(path);
+  
+  if (options.readOnly || options.legacyMode) {
+    project.setReadOnly(true);
+    
+    // Show banner in editor
+    EditorBanner.show({
+      type: 'warning',
+      message: 'This project is open in read-only mode. Migrate to make changes.',
+      actions: [
+        { label: 'Migrate Now', onClick: () => openMigrationWizard(path) },
+        { label: 'Dismiss', onClick: () => EditorBanner.hide() }
+      ]
+    });
+  }
+  
+  return project;
+}
+```
+
+### Read-Only Banner Component
+
+```tsx
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/EditorBanner.tsx
+
+interface EditorBannerProps {
+  type: 'info' | 'warning' | 'error';
+  message: string;
+  actions?: Array<{
+    label: string;
+    onClick: () => void;
+  }>;
+}
+
+function EditorBanner({ type, message, actions }: EditorBannerProps) {
+  return (
+    <div className={css['editor-banner', `editor-banner--${type}`]}>
+      <div className={css['editor-banner__content']}>
+        {type === 'warning' && <WarningIcon size={16} />}

+# 02 - Migration Wizard
+
+## Overview
+
+A step-by-step wizard that guides users through the migration process. The wizard handles project copying, scanning, reporting, and executing migrations.
+
+## Wizard Steps
+
+1. **Confirm** - Confirm source/target paths
+2. **Scan** - Analyze project for migration needs
+3. **Report** - Show what needs to change
+4. **Configure** - (Optional) Set up AI assistance
+5. **Migrate** - Execute the migration
+6. **Complete** - Summary and next steps
+
+## State Machine
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/migration/MigrationSession.ts
+
+type MigrationStep = 
+  | 'confirm'

+# 04 - Post-Migration Editor Experience
+
+## Overview
+
+After migration, the editor needs to clearly communicate which components were successfully migrated, which need review, and provide easy access to migration notes and AI suggestions.
+
+## Component Panel Indicators
+
+### Visual Status Badges
+
+```tsx

+# React 19 in OpenNoodl
+
+OpenNoodl 1.2 uses React 19, bringing significant improvements to your projects.
+
+## Benefits
+
+### Better Performance
+- Automatic batching of state updates
+- Improved rendering efficiency
+- Smaller bundle sizes
+
+### Modern React Features
+- Use modern hooks in custom code
+- Better error boundaries
+- Improved Suspense support
+
+### Future-Proof
+- Stay current with React ecosystem
+- Better library compatibility
+- Long-term support
+
+## What This Means for You
+
+### New Projects
+New projects automatically use React 19. No extra configuration needed.
+
+### Existing Projects
+Legacy projects (React 17) can be migrated using our built-in migration 
+assistant. The process is straightforward and preserves your original 
+project.
+
+## Compatibility Notes
+
+- Projects created in OpenNoodl 1.2+ won't open in older Noodl versions
+- Most built-in nodes work identically in both versions
+- Custom JavaScript code may need minor updates (the migration assistant 
+  can help with this)

+# React 19 Migration System - Changelog
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Session 8: Migration Marker Fix
+
+#### 2024-12-15
+
+**Fixed:**
+- **Migrated Projects Still Showing as Legacy** (`MigrationSession.ts`):
+  - Root cause: `executeFinalizePhase()` was a placeholder with just `await this.simulateDelay(200)` and never updated project.json
+  - The runtime detection system checks for `runtimeVersion` or `migratedFrom` fields in project.json
+  - Without these markers, migrated projects were still detected as legacy React 17
+  - Implemented actual finalization that:
+    1. Reads the project.json from the target path
+    2. Adds `runtimeVersion: "react19"` field
+    3. Adds `migratedFrom` metadata object with:
+       - `version: "react17"` - what it was migrated from
+       - `date` - ISO timestamp of migration
+       - `originalPath` - path to source project
+       - `aiAssisted` - whether AI was used
+    4. Writes the updated project.json back
+  - Migrated projects now correctly identified as React 19 in project list
+
+**Technical Notes:**
+- Runtime detection checks these fields in order:
+  1. `runtimeVersion` field (highest confidence)
+  2. `migratedFrom` field (indicates already migrated)
+  3. `editorVersion` comparison to 1.2.0
+  4. Legacy pattern scanning
+  5. Creation date heuristic (lowest confidence)
+- Adding `runtimeVersion: "react19"` provides "high" confidence detection
+
+**Files Modified:**
+```
+packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/migration/MigrationSession.ts
+```
+
+---
+
+### Session 7: Complete Migration Implementation
+
+#### 2024-12-14
+
+**Fixed:**
+- **Text Color Invisible (Gray on Gray)** (All migration SCSS files):
+  - Root cause: SCSS files used non-existent CSS variables like `--theme-color-fg-1` and `--theme-color-secondary` for text
+  - `--theme-color-fg-1` doesn't exist in the theme - it's `--theme-color-fg-highlight`
+  - `--theme-color-secondary` is a dark teal color (`#005769`) meant for backgrounds, not text
+  - For text, should use `--theme-color-secondary-as-fg` which is a visible teal (`#7ec2cf`)
+  - Updated all migration SCSS files with correct variable names:
+    - `--theme-color-fg-1` → `--theme-color-fg-highlight` (white text, `#f5f5f5`)
+    - `--theme-color-secondary` (when used for text color) → `--theme-color-secondary-as-fg` (readable teal, `#7ec2cf`)
+  - Text is now visible with proper contrast against dark backgrounds
+
+- **Migration Does Not Create Project Folder** (`MigrationSession.ts`):
+  - Root cause: `executeCopyPhase()` was a placeholder that never actually copied files
+  - Implemented actual file copying using `@noodl/platform` filesystem API
+  - New `copyDirectoryRecursive()` method recursively copies all project files
+  - Skips `node_modules` and `.git` directories for efficiency
+  - Checks if target directory exists before copying (prevents overwrites)
+
+- **"Open Migrated Project" Button Does Nothing** (`projectsview.ts`):
+  - Root cause: `onComplete` callback didn't receive or use the target path
+  - Updated callback signature to receive `targetPath: string` parameter
+  - Now opens the migrated project from the correct target path
+  - Shows success toast and updates project list
+
+**Technical Notes:**
+- Theme color variable naming conventions:
+  - `--theme-color-bg-*` for backgrounds (bg-1 through bg-4, darker to lighter)
+  - `--theme-color-fg-*` for foreground/text (fg-highlight, fg-default, fg-default-shy, fg-muted)
+  - `--theme-color-secondary` is `#005769` (dark teal) - background only!
+  - `--theme-color-secondary-as-fg` is `#7ec2cf` (light teal) - use for text
+- filesystem API:
+  - `filesystem.exists(path)` - check if path exists
+  - `filesystem.makeDirectory(path)` - create directory
+  - `filesystem.listDirectory(path)` - list contents (returns entries with `fullPath`, `name`, `isDirectory`)
+  - `filesystem.readFile(path)` - read file contents
+  - `filesystem.writeFile(path, content)` - write file contents

+
+### Session 6: Dialog Pattern Fix & Button Functionality
+
+#### 2024-12-14
+
+**Fixed:**
+- **"Start Migration" Button Does Nothing** (`MigrationWizard.tsx`):
+  - Root cause: useReducer `state.session` was never initialized
+  - Component used two sources of truth:
+    1. `migrationSessionManager.getSession()` for rendering - worked fine
+    2. `state.session` in reducer for actions - always null!
+  - All action handlers checked `if (!state.session) return state;` and returned unchanged
+  - Added `SET_SESSION` action type to initialize reducer state after session creation
+  - Button clicks now properly dispatch actions and update state
+
+- **Switched from Modal to CoreBaseDialog** (`MigrationWizard.tsx`):
+  - Modal component was causing layout and interaction issues
+  - CoreBaseDialog is the pattern used by working dialogs like ConfirmDialog
+  - Changed import and component usage to use CoreBaseDialog directly
+  - Props: `isVisible`, `hasBackdrop`, `onClose`
+
+- **Fixed duplicate variable declaration** (`MigrationWizard.tsx`):
+  - Had two `const session = migrationSessionManager.getSession()` declarations
+  - Renamed one to `currentSession` to avoid redeclaration error
+
+**Technical Notes:**
+- When using both an external manager AND useReducer, reducer state must be explicitly synchronized
+- CoreBaseDialog is the preferred pattern for dialogs - simpler and more reliable than Modal
+- Pattern for initializing reducer with async data:
+  ```tsx
+  // In useEffect after async operation:
+  dispatch({ type: 'SET_SESSION', session: createdSession });
+  
+  // In reducer:
+  case 'SET_SESSION':
+    return { ...state, session: action.session };
+  ```
+
+**Files Modified:**

+```

+
+### Session 5: Critical UI Bug Fixes
+
+#### 2024-12-14
+
+**Fixed:**
+- **Migration Wizard Buttons Not Clickable** (`BaseDialog.module.scss`):
+  - Root cause: The `::after` pseudo-element on `.VisibleDialog` was covering the entire dialog
+  - This overlay had no `pointer-events: none`, blocking all click events
+  - Added `pointer-events: none` to `::after` pseudo-element
+  - All buttons, icons, and interactive elements now work correctly
+
+- **Migration Wizard Not Scrollable** (`MigrationWizard.module.scss`):
+  - Root cause: Missing proper flex layout and overflow settings
+  - Added `display: flex`, `flex-direction: column`, and `overflow: hidden` to `.MigrationWizard`
+  - Added `flex: 1`, `min-height: 0`, and `overflow-y: auto` to `.WizardContent`
+  - Modal content now scrolls properly on shorter screen heights
+
+- **Gray-on-Gray Text (Low Contrast)** (All step SCSS modules):
+  - Root cause: SCSS files used undefined CSS variables like `--color-grey-800`, `--color-grey-400`, etc.
+  - The theme only defines `--theme-color-*` variables, causing undefined values
+  - Updated all migration wizard SCSS files to use proper theme variables:
+    - `--theme-color-bg-1`, `--theme-color-bg-2`, `--theme-color-bg-3` for backgrounds
+    - `--theme-color-fg-1` for primary text
+    - `--theme-color-secondary` for secondary text
+    - `--theme-color-primary`, `--theme-color-success`, `--theme-color-warning`, `--theme-color-danger` for status colors
+  - Text now has proper contrast against modal background
+
+**Technical Notes:**
+- BaseDialog uses a `::after` pseudo-element for background color rendering
+- Without `pointer-events: none`, this pseudo covers content and blocks interaction
+- Theme color variables follow pattern: `--theme-color-{semantic-name}`
+- Custom color variables like `--color-grey-*` don't exist - always use theme variables
+- Flex containers need `min-height: 0` on children to allow proper shrinking/scrolling
+

+
+### Session 4: Bug Fixes & Polish
+
+#### 2024-12-14
+
+**Fixed:**
+- **EPIPE Error on Project Open** (`cloud-function-server.js`):
+  - Added `safeLog()` wrapper function that catches and ignores EPIPE errors
+  - EPIPE occurs when stdout pipe is broken (e.g., terminal closed)
+  - All console.log calls in cloud-function-server now use safeLog
+  - Prevents editor crash when output pipe becomes unavailable
+
+- **Runtime Detection Defaulting** (`ProjectScanner.ts`):
+  - Changed fallback runtime version from `'unknown'` to `'react17'`
+  - Projects without explicit markers now correctly identified as legacy
+  - Ensures old Noodl projects trigger migration UI even without version flags
+  - Updated indicator message: "No React 19 markers found - assuming legacy React 17 project"
+
+- **Migration UI Not Showing** (`projectsview.ts`):
+  - Added listener for `'runtimeDetectionComplete'` event
+  - Project list now re-renders after async runtime detection completes
+  - Legacy badges and migrate buttons appear correctly for React 17 projects
+
+- **SCSS Import Error** (`MigrationWizard.module.scss`):
+  - Removed invalid `@use '../../../../styles/utils/colors' as *;` import
+  - File was referencing non-existent styles/utils/colors.scss
+  - Webpack cache required clearing after fix
+
+**Technical Notes:**
+- safeLog pattern: `try { console.log(...args); } catch (e) { /* ignore EPIPE */ }`
+- Runtime detection is async - UI must re-render after detection completes
+- Webpack caches SCSS files aggressively - cache clearing may be needed after SCSS fixes
+- The `runtimeDetectionComplete` event fires after `detectAllProjectRuntimes()` completes
+
+**Files Modified:**
+```

+```
+
+---
+
+### Session 3: Projects View Integration
+
+#### 2024-12-14
+
+**Added:**
+- Extended `DialogLayerModel.tsx` with generic `showDialog()` method:
+  - Accepts render function `(close: () => void) => JSX.Element`
+  - Options include `onClose` callback for cleanup
+  - Enables mounting custom React components (like MigrationWizard) as dialogs
+  - Type: `ShowDialogOptions` interface added
+
+- Extended `LocalProjectsModel.ts` with runtime detection:
+  - `RuntimeVersionInfo` import from migration/types
+  - `detectRuntimeVersion` import from migration/ProjectScanner
+  - `ProjectItemWithRuntime` interface extending ProjectItem with runtimeInfo
+  - In-memory cache: `runtimeInfoCache: Map<string, RuntimeVersionInfo>`
+  - Detection tracking: `detectingProjects: Set<string>`
+  - New methods:
+    - `getRuntimeInfo(projectPath)` - Get cached runtime info
+    - `isDetectingRuntime(projectPath)` - Check if detection in progress
+    - `getProjectsWithRuntime()` - Get all projects with runtime info
+    - `detectProjectRuntime(projectPath)` - Detect and cache runtime version
+    - `detectAllProjectRuntimes()` - Background detection for all projects
+    - `isLegacyProject(projectPath)` - Check if project is React 17
+    - `clearRuntimeCache(projectPath)` - Clear cache after migration
+
+- Updated `projectsview.html` template with legacy project indicators:
+  - `data-class="isLegacy:projects-item--legacy"` conditional styling
+  - Legacy badge with warning SVG icon (positioned top-right)
+  - Legacy actions overlay with "Migrate Project" and "Open Read-Only" buttons
+  - Click handlers: `data-click="onMigrateProjectClicked"`, `data-click="onOpenReadOnlyClicked"`
+  - Detecting spinner with `data-class="isDetecting:projects-item-detecting"`
+
+- Added CSS styles in `projectsview.css`:
+  - `.projects-item--legacy` - Orange border for legacy projects
+  - `.projects-item-legacy-badge` - Top-right warning badge
+  - `.projects-item-legacy-actions` - Hover overlay with migration buttons
+  - `.projects-item-migrate-btn` - Primary orange CTA button
+  - `.projects-item-readonly-btn` - Secondary ghost button
+  - `.projects-item-detecting` - Loading spinner animation
+  - `.hidden` utility class
+
+- Updated `projectsview.ts` with migration handler logic:
+  - Imports for React, MigrationWizard, ProjectItemWithRuntime
+  - Extended `ProjectItemScope` type with `isLegacy` and `isDetecting` flags
+  - Updated `renderProjectItems()` to:
+    - Check `isLegacyProject()` and `isDetectingRuntime()` for each project
+    - Include flags in template scope for conditional rendering
+    - Trigger `detectAllProjectRuntimes()` on render
+  - New handlers:
+    - `onMigrateProjectClicked()` - Opens MigrationWizard via DialogLayerModel.showDialog()
+    - `onOpenReadOnlyClicked()` - Opens project normally (banner display deferred)
+
+**Technical Notes:**
+- DialogLayerModel uses existing Modal wrapper pattern with custom render function
+- Runtime detection uses in-memory cache to avoid persistence to localStorage
+- Template binding uses jQuery-based View system with `data-*` attributes
+- CSS hover overlay only shows for legacy projects
+- Tracker analytics integrated for "Migration Wizard Opened" and "Legacy Project Opened Read-Only"
+- ToastLayer.showSuccess() used for migration completion notification
+
+**Files Modified:**
+```
+packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/DialogLayerModel.tsx
+packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/utils/LocalProjectsModel.ts
+packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/templates/projectsview.html
+packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/styles/projectsview.css
+packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/projectsview.ts
+```
+
+**Remaining for Future Sessions:**
+- EditorBanner component for legacy read-only mode warning (Post-Migration UX)
+- wire open project flow for legacy detection (auto-detect on existing project open)
+
+---
+
+### Session 2: Wizard UI (Basic Flow)
+
+#### 2024-12-14
+
+**Added:**
+- Created `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/migration/` directory with:
+  - `MigrationWizard.tsx` - Main wizard container component:
+    - Uses Modal component from @noodl-core-ui
+    - useReducer for local state management
+    - Integrates with migrationSessionManager from Session 1
+    - Renders step components based on current session.step
+  - `components/WizardProgress.tsx` - Visual step progress indicator:
+    - Shows 5 steps with check icons for completed
+    - Connectors between steps with completion status
+  - `steps/ConfirmStep.tsx` - Step 1: Confirm source/target paths:
+    - Source path locked (read-only)
+    - Target path editable with filesystem.exists() validation
+    - Warning about original project being safe
+  - `steps/ScanningStep.tsx` - Step 2 & 4: Progress display:
+    - Reused for both scanning and migrating phases
+    - Progress bar with percentage
+    - Activity log with color-coded entries (info/success/warning/error)
+  - `steps/ReportStep.tsx` - Step 3: Scan results report:
+    - Stats row with automatic/simpleFixes/needsReview counts
+    - Collapsible category sections with component lists
+    - AI prompt section (disabled - future session)
+  - `steps/CompleteStep.tsx` - Step 5: Final summary:
+    - Stats cards (migrated/needsReview/failed)
+    - Duration and AI cost display
+    - Source/target path display
+    - Next steps guidance
+  - `steps/FailedStep.tsx` - Error handling step:
+    - Error details display
+    - Contextual suggestions (network/permission/general)
+    - Safety notice about original project
+
+- Created SCSS modules for all components:
+  - `MigrationWizard.module.scss`
+  - `components/WizardProgress.module.scss`
+  - `steps/ConfirmStep.module.scss`
+  - `steps/ScanningStep.module.scss`
+  - `steps/ReportStep.module.scss`
+  - `steps/CompleteStep.module.scss`
+  - `steps/FailedStep.module.scss`
+
+**Technical Notes:**
+- Text component uses `className` not `UNSAFE_className` for styling
+- Text component uses `textType` prop (TextType.Secondary, TextType.Shy) not variants
+- TextInput onChange expects standard React ChangeEventHandler<HTMLInputElement>
+- PrimaryButtonVariant has: Cta (default), Muted, Ghost, Danger (NO "Secondary")
+- Using @noodl/platform filesystem.exists() for path checking
+- VStack/HStack from @noodl-core-ui/components/layout/Stack for layout
+- SVG icons defined inline in each component for self-containment

+### Session 1: Foundation + Detection
+
+#### 2024-12-13
+
+**Added:**
+- Created CHECKLIST.md for tracking implementation progress
+- Created CHANGELOG.md for documenting changes
+- Created `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/migration/` directory with:
+  - `types.ts` - Complete TypeScript interfaces for migration system:
+    - Runtime version types (`RuntimeVersion`, `RuntimeVersionInfo`, `ConfidenceLevel`)
+    - Migration issue types (`MigrationIssue`, `MigrationIssueType`, `ComponentMigrationInfo`)
+    - Session types (`MigrationSession`, `MigrationScan`, `MigrationStep`, `MigrationPhase`)
+    - AI types (`AIConfig`, `AIBudget`, `AIPreferences`, `AIMigrationResponse`)
+    - Project manifest extensions (`ProjectMigrationMetadata`, `ComponentMigrationNote`)
+    - Legacy pattern definitions (`LegacyPattern`, `LegacyPatternScan`)
+  - `ProjectScanner.ts` - Version detection and legacy pattern scanning:
+    - 5-tier detection system with confidence levels
+    - `detectRuntimeVersion()` - Main detection function
+    - `scanForLegacyPatterns()` - Scans for React 17 patterns
+    - `scanProjectForMigration()` - Full project migration scan
+    - 13 legacy React patterns detected (componentWillMount, string refs, etc.)
+  - `MigrationSession.ts` - State machine for migration workflow:
+    - `MigrationSessionManager` class extending EventDispatcher
+    - Step transitions (confirm → scanning → report → configureAi → migrating → complete/failed)
+    - Progress tracking and logging
+    - Helper functions (`checkProjectNeedsMigration`, `getStepLabel`, etc.)
+  - `index.ts` - Clean module exports
+
+**Technical Notes:**
+- IFileSystem interface from `@noodl/platform` uses `readFile(path)` with single argument (no encoding)
+- IFileSystem doesn't expose file stat/birthtime - creation date heuristic relies on project.json metadata
+- Migration phases: copying → automatic → ai-assisted → finalizing
+- Default AI budget: $5 max per session, $1 pause increments

+# Task: React 19 Node Modernization
+
+## Overview
+
+Update all frontend visual nodes in `noodl-viewer-react` to take advantage of React 19 features, remove deprecated patterns, and prepare the infrastructure for future React 19-only features like View Transitions.
+
+**Priority:** High  
+**Estimated Effort:** 16-24 hours  
+**Branch:** `feature/react19-node-modernization`
+
+---
+
+## Background
+
+With the editor upgraded to React 19 and the runtime to React 18.3 (95% compatible), we have an opportunity to modernize our node infrastructure. This work removes technical debt, simplifies code, and prepares the foundation for React 19-exclusive features.
+
+### React 19 Changes That Affect Nodes
+
+1. **`ref` as a regular prop** - No more `forwardRef` wrapper needed
+2. **Improved `useTransition`** - Can now handle async functions
+3. **`useDeferredValue` with initial value** - New parameter for better loading states
+4. **Native document metadata** - `<title>`, `<meta>` render directly
+5. **Better Suspense** - Works with more scenarios
+6. **`use()` hook** - Read resources in render (promises, context)
+7. **Form actions** - `useActionState`, `useFormStatus`, `useOptimistic`
+8. **Cleaner cleanup** - Ref cleanup functions
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Infrastructure Updates
+
+### 1.1 Update `createNodeFromReactComponent` Wrapper
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/react-component-node.js` (or `.ts`)
+
+**Changes:**
+- Remove automatic `forwardRef` wrapping logic
+- Add support for `ref` as a standard prop
+- Add optional `useTransition` integration for state updates
+- Add optional `useDeferredValue` wrapper for specified inputs
+
+**New Options:**
+```javascript
+createNodeFromReactComponent({
+  // ... existing options
+  
+  // NEW: React 19 options
+  react19: {
+    // Enable transition wrapping for specified inputs
+    transitionInputs: ['items', 'filter'], 
+    
+    // Enable deferred value for specified inputs
+    deferredInputs: ['searchQuery'],
+    
+    // Enable form action support
+    formActions: true,
+  }
+})
+```
+
+### 1.2 Update Base Node Classes
+
+**Files:**
+- `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/visual-base.js`
+- Any shared base classes for visual nodes
+
+**Changes:**
+- Remove `forwardRef` patterns
+- Update ref handling to use callback ref pattern
+- Add utility methods for transitions:
+  - `this.startTransition(callback)` - wrap updates in transition
+  - `this.getDeferredValue(inputName)` - get deferred version of input
+
+### 1.3 Update TypeScript Definitions
+
+**Files:**
+- `packages/noodl-viewer-react/static/viewer/global.d.ts.keep`
+- Any relevant `.d.ts` files
+
+**Changes:**
+- Update component prop types to include `ref` as regular prop
+- Add types for new React 19 hooks
+- Update `Noodl` namespace types if needed
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Core Visual Nodes
+
+### 2.1 Group Node
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/group.js`
+
+**Current Issues:**
+- Likely uses `forwardRef` or class component with ref forwarding
+- May have legacy lifecycle patterns
+
+**Updates:**
+- Convert to functional component with `ref` as prop
+- Use `useEffect` cleanup returns properly
+- Add optional `useDeferredValue` for children rendering (large lists)
+
+**New Capabilities:**
+- `Defer Children` input (boolean) - uses `useDeferredValue` for smoother updates
+- `Is Updating` output - true when deferred update pending
+
+### 2.2 Text Node
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/text.js`
+
+**Updates:**
+- Remove `forwardRef` wrapper
+- Simplify ref handling
+
+### 2.3 Image Node
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/image.js`
+
+**Updates:**
+- Remove `forwardRef` wrapper
+- Add resource preloading hints for React 19's `preload()` API (future enhancement slot)
+
+### 2.4 Video Node
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/video.js`
+
+**Updates:**
+- Remove `forwardRef` wrapper
+- Ensure ref cleanup is proper
+
+### 2.5 Circle Node
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/circle.js`
+
+**Updates:**
+- Remove `forwardRef` wrapper
+
+### 2.6 Icon Node
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/icon.js` (or `net.noodl.visual.icon`)
+
+**Updates:**
+- Remove `forwardRef` wrapper
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: UI Control Nodes
+
+### 3.1 Button Node
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/button.js` (or `net.noodl.controls.button`)
+
+**Updates:**
+- Remove `forwardRef` wrapper
+- Add form action support preparation:
+  - `formAction` input (string) - for future form integration
+  - `Is Pending` output - when used in form with pending action
+
+### 3.2 Text Input Node
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/textinput.js`
+
+**Updates:**
+- Remove `forwardRef` wrapper
+- Consider `useDeferredValue` for `onChange` value updates
+- Add form integration preparation
+
+**New Capabilities (Optional):**
+- `Defer Updates` input - delays `Value` output updates for performance
+- `Immediate Value` output - non-deferred value for UI feedback
+
+### 3.3 Checkbox Node
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/checkbox.js`
+
+**Updates:**
+- Remove `forwardRef` wrapper
+- Add optimistic update preparation (`useOptimistic` slot)
+
+### 3.4 Radio Button / Radio Button Group
+
+**Files:**
+- `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/radiobutton.js`
+- `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/radiobuttongroup.js`
+
+**Updates:**
+- Remove `forwardRef` wrappers
+- Ensure proper group state management
+
+### 3.5 Options/Dropdown Node
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/options.js`
+
+**Updates:**
+- Remove `forwardRef` wrapper
+- Consider `useDeferredValue` for large option lists
+
+### 3.6 Range/Slider Node
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/range.js`
+
+**Updates:**
+- Remove `forwardRef` wrapper
+- `useDeferredValue` for value output (prevent render thrashing during drag)
+
+**New Capabilities:**
+- `Deferred Value` output - smoothed value for expensive downstream renders
+- `Immediate Value` output - raw value for UI display
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: Navigation Nodes
+
+### 4.1 Page Router / Router Node
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/router.js`
+
+**Updates:**
+- Add `useTransition` wrapping for navigation
+- Prepare for View Transitions API integration
+
+**New Capabilities:**
+- `Is Transitioning` output - true during page transition
+- `Use Transition` input (boolean, default true) - wrap navigation in React transition
+
+### 4.2 Router Navigate Node
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/routernavigate.js`
+
+**Updates:**
+- Wrap navigation in `startTransition`
+
+**New Capabilities:**
+- `Is Pending` output - navigation in progress
+- `Transition Priority` input (enum: 'normal', 'urgent') - for future prioritization
+
+### 4.3 Page Stack / Component Stack
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/pagestack.js`
+
+**Updates:**
+- Add `useTransition` for push/pop operations
+
+**New Capabilities:**
+- `Is Transitioning` output
+- Prepare for animation coordination with View Transitions
+
+### 4.4 Page Inputs Node
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/pageinputs.js`
+
+**Updates:**
+- Standard cleanup, ensure no deprecated patterns
+
+### 4.5 Popup Nodes
+
+**Files:**
+- `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/showpopup.js`
+- `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/closepopup.js`
+
+**Updates:**
+- Consider `useTransition` for popup show/hide
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: Layout Nodes
+
+### 5.1 Columns Node
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/columns.js`
+
+**Updates:**
+- Remove `forwardRef` wrapper
+- Remove `React.cloneElement` if present (React 19 has better patterns)
+- Consider using CSS Grid native features
+
+### 5.2 Repeater (For Each) Node
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/foreach.js`
+
+**Critical Updates:**
+- Add `useDeferredValue` for items array
+- Add `useTransition` for item updates
+
+**New Capabilities:**
+- `Defer Updates` input (boolean) - uses deferred value for items
+- `Is Updating` output - true when deferred update pending
+- `Transition Updates` input (boolean) - wrap updates in transition
+
+**Why This Matters:**
+Large list updates currently cause jank. With these options:
+- User toggles `Defer Updates` → list updates don't block UI
+- `Is Updating` output → can show loading indicator
+
+### 5.3 Component Children Node
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/componentchildren.js`
+
+**Updates:**
+- Standard cleanup
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6: Data/Object Nodes
+
+### 6.1 Component Object Node
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/componentobject.js`
+
+**Updates:**
+- Consider context-based implementation for React 19
+- `use(Context)` can now be called conditionally in React 19
+
+### 6.2 Parent Component Object Node
+
+**File:** Similar location
+
+**Updates:**
+- Same as Component Object
+
+---
+
+## Phase 7: SEO/Document Nodes (New Capability)
+
+### 7.1 Update Page Node for Document Metadata
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/std-library/page.js`
+
+**New Capabilities:**
+React 19 allows rendering `<title>`, `<meta>`, `<link>` directly in components and they hoist to `<head>`.
+
+**New Inputs:**
+- `Page Title` - renders `<title>` (already exists, but implementation changes)
+- `Meta Description` - renders `<meta name="description">`
+- `Meta Keywords` - renders `<meta name="keywords">`
+- `Canonical URL` - renders `<link rel="canonical">`
+- `OG Title` - renders `<meta property="og:title">`
+- `OG Description` - renders `<meta property="og:description">`
+- `OG Image` - renders `<meta property="og:image">`
+
+**Implementation:**
+```jsx
+function PageComponent({ title, description, ogTitle, ...props }) {
+  return (
+    <>
+      {title && <title>{title}</title>}
+      {description && <meta name="description" content={description} />}
+      {ogTitle && <meta property="og:title" content={ogTitle} />}
+      {/* ... rest of component */}
+    </>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+This replaces the hacky SSR string replacement currently in `packages/noodl-viewer-react/static/ssr/index.js`.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 8: Testing & Validation

+- Test variants still work
+
+### 8.4 Performance Benchmarks
+
+**Before/After Metrics:**
+- Repeater with 1000 items - render time

+
+## Implementation Order
+
+### Week 1: Foundation
+1. Update `createNodeFromReactComponent` infrastructure
+2. Update base classes
+3. Update Group node (most used, good test case)
+4. Update Text node
+5. Create test suite for modernized patterns
+
+### Week 2: Controls & Navigation

+7. Update Navigation nodes with transition support
+8. Update Repeater with deferred value support
+9. Test navigation flow end-to-end
+
+### Week 3: Polish & New Features
+10. Update remaining nodes (Columns, Component Object, etc.)
+11. Add Page metadata support
+12. Performance testing and optimization
+13. Documentation updates
+
+---
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+### Must Have
+- [ ] All nodes render correctly after updates
+- [ ] No `forwardRef` usage in visual nodes
+- [ ] All refs work correctly (DOM access, focus, etc.)
+- [ ] No breaking changes to existing projects
+- [ ] Tests pass
+
+### Should Have
+- [ ] Repeater has `Defer Updates` option
+- [ ] Page Router has `Is Transitioning` output
+- [ ] Page node has SEO metadata inputs
+
+### Nice to Have
+- [ ] Performance improvement measurable in benchmarks
+- [ ] Text Input deferred value option
+- [ ] Range slider deferred value option
+
+---
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+### Backward Compatibility
+
+These changes should be **fully backward compatible**:
+- Existing projects continue to work unchanged
+- New features are opt-in via new inputs
+- No changes to how nodes are wired together
+
+### Runtime Considerations
+
+Since runtime is React 18.3:
+- `useTransition` works (available since React 18)
+- `useDeferredValue` works (available since React 18)
+- `ref` as prop works (React 18.3 forward-ported this)
+- Native metadata hoisting does NOT work (React 19 only)
+  - For runtime, metadata nodes will need polyfill/fallback
+
+**Strategy:** Build features for React 19 editor, provide graceful degradation for React 18.3 runtime. Eventually upgrade runtime to React 19.
+
+---
+
+## Code Examples
+
+### Before: forwardRef Pattern
+```javascript
+getReactComponent() {
+  return React.forwardRef((props, ref) => {
+    return <div ref={ref} style={props.style}>{props.children}</div>;
+  });
+}
+```
+
+### After: ref as Prop Pattern
+```javascript
+getReactComponent() {
+  return function GroupComponent({ ref, style, children }) {
+    return <div ref={ref} style={style}>{children}</div>;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### Adding Deferred Value Support
+```javascript
+getReactComponent() {
+  return function RepeaterComponent({ items, deferUpdates, onIsUpdating }) {
+    const deferredItems = React.useDeferredValue(items);
+    const isStale = items !== deferredItems;
+    
+    React.useEffect(() => {
+      onIsUpdating?.(isStale);
+    }, [isStale, onIsUpdating]);
+    
+    const itemsToRender = deferUpdates ? deferredItems : items;
+    
+    return (
+      <div>
+        {itemsToRender.map(item => /* render item */)}
+      </div>
+    );
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### Adding Transition Support
+```javascript
+getReactComponent() {
+  return function RouterComponent({ onNavigate, onIsTransitioning }) {
+    const [isPending, startTransition] = React.useTransition();
+    
+    React.useEffect(() => {
+      onIsTransitioning?.(isPending);
+    }, [isPending, onIsTransitioning]);
+    
+    const handleNavigate = (target) => {
+      startTransition(() => {
+        onNavigate(target);
+      });
+    };
+    
+    // ...
+  };
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Questions for Implementation
+
+1. **File locations:** Need to verify actual file paths in `noodl-viewer-react` - the paths above are educated guesses based on patterns.
+
+2. **Runtime compatibility:** Should we add feature detection to gracefully degrade on React 18.3 runtime, or assume eventual runtime upgrade?
+
+3. **New inputs/outputs:** Should new capabilities (like `Defer Updates`) be hidden by default and exposed via a "React 19 Features" toggle in project settings?
+
+4. **Breaking changes policy:** If we find any patterns that would break (unlikely), what's the policy? Migration path vs versioning?
+
+---
+
+## Related Future Work
+
+This modernization enables but does not include:
+- **Magic Transition Node** - View Transitions API wrapper
+- **AI Component Node** - Generative UI with streaming
+- **Async Boundary Node** - Suspense wrapper with error boundaries
+- **Form Action Node** - React 19 form actions
+
+These will be separate tasks building on this foundation.

+# Responsive Breakpoints System
+
+## Feature Overview
+
+A built-in responsive breakpoint system that works like visual states (hover/pressed/disabled) but for viewport widths. Users can define breakpoint-specific property values directly in the property panel without wiring up states nodes.
+
+**Current Pain Point:**
+Users must manually wire `[Screen Width] → [States Node] → [Visual Node]` for every responsive property, cluttering the node graph and making responsive design tedious.
+
+**Solution:**
+In the property panel, a breakpoint selector lets users switch between Desktop/Tablet/Phone/Small Phone views. When a breakpoint is selected, users see and edit that breakpoint's values. Values cascade down (desktop → tablet → phone) unless explicitly overridden.
+
+## Key Decisions
+
+| Decision | Choice |
+|----------|--------|
+| Terminology | "Breakpoints" |
+| Default breakpoints | Desktop (≥1024px), Tablet (768-1023px), Phone (320-767px), Small Phone (<320px) |
+| Cascade direction | Configurable (desktop-first default, mobile-first option) |
+| Editor preview sync | Independent (changing breakpoint doesn't resize preview, and vice versa) |
+
+## Breakpoint-Aware Properties
+
+Only layout/dimension properties support breakpoints (not colors/shadows):
+
+**✅ Supported:**
+- **Dimensions**: width, height, minWidth, maxWidth, minHeight, maxHeight
+- **Spacing**: marginTop/Right/Bottom/Left, paddingTop/Right/Bottom/Left, gap
+- **Typography**: fontSize, lineHeight, letterSpacing
+- **Layout**: flexDirection, alignItems, justifyContent, flexWrap, flexGrow, flexShrink
+- **Visibility**: visible, mounted
+
+**❌ Not Supported:**
+- Colors (backgroundColor, borderColor, textColor, etc.)
+- Borders (borderWidth, borderRadius, borderStyle)
+- Shadows (boxShadow)
+- Effects (opacity, transform)
+
+## Data Model
+
+```javascript
+// Node model storage
+{
+  parameters: {
+    marginTop: '40px',           // desktop (default breakpoint)
+  },
+  breakpointParameters: {
+    tablet: { marginTop: '24px' },
+    phone: { marginTop: '16px' },
+    smallPhone: { marginTop: '12px' }
+  },
+  // Optional: combined visual state + breakpoint
+  stateBreakpointParameters: {
+    'hover:tablet': { /* ... */ }
+  }
+}
+
+// Project settings
+{
+  breakpoints: {
+    desktop: { minWidth: 1024, isDefault: true },
+    tablet: { minWidth: 768, maxWidth: 1023 },
+    phone: { minWidth: 320, maxWidth: 767 },
+    smallPhone: { minWidth: 0, maxWidth: 319 }
+  },
+  breakpointOrder: ['desktop', 'tablet', 'phone', 'smallPhone'],
+  cascadeDirection: 'desktop-first' // or 'mobile-first'
+}
+```
+
+## Implementation Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Estimate | Dependencies |
+|-------|------|----------|--------------|
+| 1 | Foundation - Data Model | 2-3 days | None |
+| 2 | Editor UI - Property Panel | 3-4 days | Phase 1 |
+| 3 | Runtime - Viewport Detection | 2-3 days | Phase 1 |
+| 4 | Variants Integration | 1-2 days | Phases 1-3 |
+| 5 | Visual States Combo | 2 days | Phases 1-4 |
+
+**Total Estimate: 10-14 days**
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+1. Users can set different margin/padding/width values per breakpoint without any node wiring
+2. Values cascade automatically (tablet inherits desktop unless overridden)
+3. Property panel clearly shows inherited vs overridden values
+4. Runtime automatically applies correct values based on viewport width
+5. Variants support breakpoint-specific values
+6. Project settings allow customizing breakpoint thresholds
+7. Both desktop-first and mobile-first workflows supported

+# Phase 1: Foundation - Data Model
+
+## Overview
+
+Establish the data structures and model layer support for responsive breakpoints. This phase adds `breakpointParameters` storage to nodes, extends the model proxy, and adds project-level breakpoint configuration.
+
+**Estimate:** 2-3 days
+
+## Goals
+
+1. Add `breakpointParameters` field to NodeGraphNode model
+2. Extend NodeModel (runtime) with breakpoint parameter support
+3. Add breakpoint configuration to project settings
+4. Extend ModelProxy to handle breakpoint context
+5. Add `allowBreakpoints` flag support to node definitions
+
+## Technical Architecture
+
+### Data Storage Pattern
+
+Following the existing visual states pattern (`stateParameters`), we add parallel `breakpointParameters`:
+
+```javascript
+// NodeGraphNode / NodeModel
+{
+  id: 'group-1',
+  type: 'Group',
+  parameters: {
+    marginTop: '40px',      // base/default breakpoint value
+    backgroundColor: '#fff'  // non-breakpoint property
+  },
+  stateParameters: {        // existing - visual states
+    hover: { backgroundColor: '#eee' }
+  },
+  breakpointParameters: {   // NEW - breakpoints
+    tablet: { marginTop: '24px' },
+    phone: { marginTop: '16px' },
+    smallPhone: { marginTop: '12px' }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Project Settings Schema
+
+```javascript
+// project.settings.responsiveBreakpoints
+{
+  enabled: true,
+  cascadeDirection: 'desktop-first', // or 'mobile-first'
+  defaultBreakpoint: 'desktop',
+  breakpoints: [
+    { id: 'desktop', name: 'Desktop', minWidth: 1024, icon: 'desktop' },
+    { id: 'tablet', name: 'Tablet', minWidth: 768, maxWidth: 1023, icon: 'tablet' },
+    { id: 'phone', name: 'Phone', minWidth: 320, maxWidth: 767, icon: 'phone' },
+    { id: 'smallPhone', name: 'Small Phone', minWidth: 0, maxWidth: 319, icon: 'phone-small' }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Node Definition Flag
+
+```javascript
+// In node definition
+{
+  inputs: {
+    marginTop: {
+      type: { name: 'number', units: ['px', '%'], defaultUnit: 'px' },
+      allowBreakpoints: true,  // NEW flag
+      group: 'Margin and Padding'
+    },
+    backgroundColor: {
+      type: 'color',
+      allowVisualStates: true,
+      allowBreakpoints: false  // colors don't support breakpoints
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+### Step 1: Extend NodeGraphNode Model
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/nodegraphmodel/NodeGraphNode.ts`
+
+```typescript
+// Add to class properties
+breakpointParameters: Record<string, Record<string, any>>;
+
+// Add to constructor/initialization
+this.breakpointParameters = args.breakpointParameters || {};
+
+// Add new methods
+hasBreakpointParameter(name: string, breakpoint: string): boolean {
+  return this.breakpointParameters?.[breakpoint]?.[name] !== undefined;
+}
+
+getBreakpointParameter(name: string, breakpoint: string): any {
+  return this.breakpointParameters?.[breakpoint]?.[name];
+}
+
+setBreakpointParameter(name: string, value: any, breakpoint: string, args?: any): void {
+  // Similar pattern to setParameter but for breakpoint-specific values
+  // Include undo support
+}
+
+// Extend getParameter to support breakpoint context
+getParameter(name: string, args?: { state?: string, breakpoint?: string }): any {
+  // If breakpoint specified, check breakpointParameters first
+  // Then cascade to larger breakpoints
+  // Finally fall back to base parameters
+}
+
+// Extend toJSON to include breakpointParameters
+toJSON(): object {
+  return {
+    ...existingFields,
+    breakpointParameters: this.breakpointParameters
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### Step 2: Extend Runtime NodeModel
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-runtime/src/models/nodemodel.js`
+
+```javascript
+// Add breakpointParameters storage
+NodeModel.prototype.setBreakpointParameter = function(name, value, breakpoint) {
+  if (!this.breakpointParameters) this.breakpointParameters = {};
+  if (!this.breakpointParameters[breakpoint]) this.breakpointParameters[breakpoint] = {};
+  
+  if (value === undefined) {
+    delete this.breakpointParameters[breakpoint][name];
+  } else {
+    this.breakpointParameters[breakpoint][name] = value;
+  }
+  
+  this.emit("breakpointParameterUpdated", { name, value, breakpoint });
+};
+
+NodeModel.prototype.setBreakpointParameters = function(breakpointParameters) {
+  this.breakpointParameters = breakpointParameters;
+};
+```
+
+### Step 3: Add Project Settings Schema
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/projectmodel.ts`
+
+```typescript
+// Add default breakpoint settings
+const DEFAULT_BREAKPOINT_SETTINGS = {
+  enabled: true,
+  cascadeDirection: 'desktop-first',
+  defaultBreakpoint: 'desktop',
+  breakpoints: [
+    { id: 'desktop', name: 'Desktop', minWidth: 1024, icon: 'DeviceDesktop' },
+    { id: 'tablet', name: 'Tablet', minWidth: 768, maxWidth: 1023, icon: 'DeviceTablet' },
+    { id: 'phone', name: 'Phone', minWidth: 320, maxWidth: 767, icon: 'DevicePhone' },
+    { id: 'smallPhone', name: 'Small Phone', minWidth: 0, maxWidth: 319, icon: 'DevicePhone' }
+  ]
+};
+
+// Add helper methods
+getBreakpointSettings(): BreakpointSettings {
+  return this.settings.responsiveBreakpoints || DEFAULT_BREAKPOINT_SETTINGS;
+}
+
+setBreakpointSettings(settings: BreakpointSettings): void {
+  this.setSetting('responsiveBreakpoints', settings);
+}
+
+getBreakpointForWidth(width: number): string {
+  const settings = this.getBreakpointSettings();
+  const breakpoints = settings.breakpoints;
+  
+  // Find matching breakpoint based on width
+  for (const bp of breakpoints) {
+    const minMatch = bp.minWidth === undefined || width >= bp.minWidth;
+    const maxMatch = bp.maxWidth === undefined || width <= bp.maxWidth;
+    if (minMatch && maxMatch) return bp.id;
+  }
+  
+  return settings.defaultBreakpoint;
+}
+```
+
+### Step 4: Extend ModelProxy
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/propertyeditor/models/modelProxy.ts`
+
+```typescript
+export class ModelProxy {
+  model: NodeGraphNode;
+  editMode: string;
+  visualState: string;
+  breakpoint: string;  // NEW
+
+  constructor(args) {
+    this.model = args.model;
+    this.visualState = 'neutral';
+    this.breakpoint = 'desktop';  // NEW - default breakpoint
+  }
+
+  setBreakpoint(breakpoint: string) {
+    this.breakpoint = breakpoint;
+  }
+
+  // Extend getParameter to handle breakpoints
+  getParameter(name: string) {
+    const source = this.editMode === 'variant' ? this.model.variant : this.model;
+    const port = this.model.getPort(name, 'input');
+    
+    // Check if this property supports breakpoints
+    if (port?.allowBreakpoints && this.breakpoint && this.breakpoint !== 'desktop') {
+      // Check for breakpoint-specific value
+      const breakpointValue = source.getBreakpointParameter(name, this.breakpoint);
+      if (breakpointValue !== undefined) return breakpointValue;
+      
+      // Cascade to larger breakpoints (desktop-first)
+      // TODO: Support mobile-first cascade
+    }
+    
+    // Check visual state
+    if (this.visualState && this.visualState !== 'neutral') {
+      // existing visual state logic
+    }
+    
+    // Fall back to base parameters
+    return source.getParameter(name, { state: this.visualState });
+  }
+
+  // Extend setParameter to handle breakpoints
+  setParameter(name: string, value: any, args: any = {}) {
+    const port = this.model.getPort(name, 'input');
+    
+    // If setting a breakpoint-specific value
+    if (port?.allowBreakpoints && this.breakpoint && this.breakpoint !== 'desktop') {
+      args.breakpoint = this.breakpoint;
+    }
+    
+    // existing state handling
+    args.state = this.visualState;
+    
+    const target = this.editMode === 'variant' ? this.model.variant : this.model;
+    
+    if (args.breakpoint) {
+      target.setBreakpointParameter(name, value, args.breakpoint, args);
+    } else {
+      target.setParameter(name, value, args);
+    }
+  }
+
+  // Check if current value is inherited or explicitly set
+  isBreakpointValueInherited(name: string): boolean {
+    if (!this.breakpoint || this.breakpoint === 'desktop') return false;
+    
+    const source = this.editMode === 'variant' ? this.model.variant : this.model;
+    return !source.hasBreakpointParameter(name, this.breakpoint);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 5: Update Node Type Registration
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/nodelibrary/nodelibrary.ts`
+
+```typescript
+// When registering node types, process allowBreakpoints flag
+// Similar to how allowVisualStates is handled
+
+processNodeType(nodeType) {
+  // existing processing...
+  
+  // Process allowBreakpoints for inputs
+  if (nodeType.inputs) {
+    for (const [name, input] of Object.entries(nodeType.inputs)) {
+      if (input.allowBreakpoints) {
+        // Mark this port as breakpoint-aware
+        // This will be used by property panel to show breakpoint controls
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 6: Update GraphModel (Runtime)
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-runtime/src/models/graphmodel.js`
+
+```javascript
+// Add method to update breakpoint parameters
+GraphModel.prototype.updateNodeBreakpointParameter = function(
+  nodeId,
+  parameterName,
+  parameterValue,
+  breakpoint
+) {
+  const node = this.getNodeWithId(nodeId);
+  if (!node) return;
+  
+  node.setBreakpointParameter(parameterName, parameterValue, breakpoint);
+};
+
+// Extend project settings handling
+GraphModel.prototype.getBreakpointSettings = function() {
+  return this.settings?.responsiveBreakpoints || DEFAULT_BREAKPOINT_SETTINGS;
+};
+```

+## Files to Modify
+
+| File | Changes |
+|------|---------|
+| `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/nodegraphmodel/NodeGraphNode.ts` | Add breakpointParameters field, getter/setter methods |
+| `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/projectmodel.ts` | Add breakpoint settings helpers |
+| `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/propertyeditor/models/modelProxy.ts` | Add breakpoint context, extend get/setParameter |
+| `packages/noodl-runtime/src/models/nodemodel.js` | Add breakpoint parameter methods |
+| `packages/noodl-runtime/src/models/graphmodel.js` | Add breakpoint settings handling |
+
+## Files to Create
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/breakpointSettings.ts` | TypeScript interfaces for breakpoint settings |
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+- [ ] NodeGraphNode can store and retrieve breakpointParameters
+- [ ] NodeGraphNode serializes breakpointParameters to JSON correctly
+- [ ] NodeGraphNode loads breakpointParameters from JSON correctly
+- [ ] ModelProxy correctly returns breakpoint-specific values
+- [ ] ModelProxy correctly identifies inherited vs explicit values
+- [ ] Project settings store and load breakpoint configuration
+- [ ] Cascade works correctly (tablet falls back to desktop)
+- [ ] Undo/redo works for breakpoint parameter changes
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+1. ✅ Can programmatically set `node.setBreakpointParameter('marginTop', '24px', 'tablet')`
+2. ✅ Can retrieve with `node.getBreakpointParameter('marginTop', 'tablet')`
+3. ✅ Project JSON includes breakpointParameters when saved
+4. ✅ Project JSON loads breakpointParameters when opened
+5. ✅ ModelProxy returns correct value based on current breakpoint context
+
+## Gotchas & Notes
+
+1. **Undo Support**: Make sure breakpoint parameter changes are undoable. Follow the same pattern as `setParameter` with undo groups.
+
+2. **Cascade Order**: Desktop-first means `tablet` inherits from `desktop`, `phone` inherits from `tablet`, `smallPhone` inherits from `phone`. Mobile-first reverses this.
+
+3. **Default Breakpoint**: When `breakpoint === 'desktop'` (or whatever the default is), we should NOT use breakpointParameters - use base parameters instead.
+
+4. **Parameter Migration**: Existing projects won't have breakpointParameters. Handle gracefully (undefined → empty object).
+
+5. **Port Flag**: The `allowBreakpoints` flag on ports determines which properties show breakpoint controls in the UI. This is read-only metadata, not stored per-node.
+
+## Confidence Checkpoints
+
+After completing each step, verify:
+
+| Step | Checkpoint |
+|------|------------|
+| 1 | Can add/get breakpoint params in editor console |
+| 2 | Runtime node model accepts breakpoint params |
+| 3 | Project settings UI shows breakpoint config |
+| 4 | ModelProxy returns correct value per breakpoint |
+| 5 | Saving/loading project preserves breakpoint data |

+# Phase 2: Editor UI - Property Panel
+
+## Overview
+
+Add the breakpoint selector UI to the property panel and implement the visual feedback for inherited vs overridden values. Users should be able to switch between breakpoints and see/edit breakpoint-specific values.
+
+**Estimate:** 3-4 days
+
+**Dependencies:** Phase 1 (Foundation)
+
+## Goals
+
+1. Add breakpoint selector component to property panel
+2. Show inherited vs overridden values with visual distinction
+3. Add reset button to clear breakpoint-specific overrides
+4. Show badge summary of overrides per breakpoint
+5. Add breakpoint configuration section to Project Settings
+6. Filter property panel to only show breakpoint controls on `allowBreakpoints` properties
+
+## UI Design
+

+## Implementation Steps
+
+### Step 1: Create BreakpointSelector Component
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/propertyeditor/components/BreakpointSelector/BreakpointSelector.tsx`
+
+```tsx

+  onBreakpointChange: (breakpointId: string) => void;
+}
+
+export function BreakpointSelector({
+  breakpoints,

+### Step 3: Integrate into Property Editor
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/propertyeditor/propertyeditor.ts`

+
+### Step 4: Update Property Panel Row Component
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/property-panel/PropertyPanelRow/PropertyPanelRow.tsx`
+
+```tsx
+// Extend PropertyPanelRow to show inherited indicator
+
+export interface PropertyPanelRowProps {

+  children: React.ReactNode;
+  
+  // NEW props for breakpoint support
+  isBreakpointAware?: boolean;

+  isInherited,
+  inheritedFrom,
+  onReset
+}: PropertyPanelRowProps) {
+  return (
+    <div className={classNames(css.Root, { [css.isInherited]: isInherited })}>
+      <label className={css.Label}>{label}</label>
+      <div className={css.InputContainer}>

+          />
+        )}
+      </div>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Step 5: Update Ports View
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/propertyeditor/DataTypes/Ports.ts`
+
+```typescript
+// Extend the Ports view to pass breakpoint info to each property row

+    }
+  }
+  
+  return settings.breakpoints[0]?.name || 'Desktop';  // Default
+}
+```
+
+### Step 6: Add Breakpoint Settings to Project Settings Panel
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/ProjectSettingsPanel/sections/BreakpointSettingsSection.tsx`
+
+```tsx
+import React, { useState } from 'react';

+        ))}
+      </div>
+    </CollapsableSection>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Step 7: Add Template to Property Editor HTML
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/templates/propertyeditor.html`
+
+Add breakpoint selector container:
+
+```html
+<!-- Add after visual-states div -->
+<div class="breakpoint-selector"></div>
+```

+## Testing Checklist
+
+- [ ] Breakpoint selector appears in property panel for nodes with breakpoint-aware properties
+- [ ] Breakpoint selector does NOT appear for nodes without breakpoint-aware properties
+- [ ] Clicking breakpoint buttons switches the current breakpoint
+- [ ] Property values update to show breakpoint-specific values when switching
+- [ ] Inherited values show dimmed with "(inherited)" label
+- [ ] Override values show with dot indicator (●)
+- [ ] Reset button appears on hover for overridden values
+- [ ] Clicking reset removes the breakpoint-specific value
+- [ ] Override count badges show correct counts
+- [ ] Project Settings shows breakpoint configuration
+- [ ] Can change cascade direction in project settings
+- [ ] Can modify breakpoint thresholds in project settings
+- [ ] Changes persist after saving and reloading project
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+1. ✅ Users can switch between breakpoints in property panel
+2. ✅ Clear visual distinction between inherited and overridden values
+3. ✅ Can set breakpoint-specific values by editing while breakpoint is selected
+4. ✅ Can reset breakpoint-specific values to inherit from larger breakpoint
+5. ✅ Override counts visible at a glance
+6. ✅ Project settings allow breakpoint customization
+
+## Gotchas & Notes
+
+1. **Visual States Coexistence**: The breakpoint selector should appear ABOVE the visual states selector (if present). They're independent axes.
+
+2. **Port Filtering**: Only ports with `allowBreakpoints: true` should show the inherited/override indicators. Non-breakpoint properties look normal.
+
+3. **Connected Ports**: If a port is connected (has a wire), it shouldn't show breakpoint controls - the connection takes precedence.
+
+4. **Performance**: Calculating override counts could be expensive if done on every render. Consider caching or only recalculating when breakpointParameters change.
+
+5. **Mobile-First Logic**: When cascade direction is mobile-first, the inheritance flows the OTHER direction (phone → tablet → desktop). Make sure the `getInheritedFromBreakpoint` logic handles both.
+
+6. **Keyboard Navigation**: Consider adding keyboard shortcuts to switch breakpoints (e.g., Ctrl+1/2/3/4).
+
+## UI/UX Refinements (Optional)
+
+- Animate the transition when switching breakpoints
+- Add tooltips showing the pixel range for each breakpoint
+- Consider a "copy to all breakpoints" action
+- Add visual preview of how values differ across breakpoints

+# Phase 3: Runtime - Viewport Detection
+
+## Overview
+
+Implement the runtime system that detects viewport width changes and applies the correct breakpoint-specific values to nodes. This includes creating a BreakpointManager singleton, wiring up resize listeners, and ensuring nodes reactively update when the breakpoint changes.
+
+**Estimate:** 2-3 days
+
+**Dependencies:** Phase 1 (Foundation)
+
+## Goals
+
+1. Create BreakpointManager singleton for viewport detection
+2. Implement viewport resize listener with debouncing
+3. Wire nodes to respond to breakpoint changes
+4. Implement value resolution with cascade logic
+5. Support both desktop-first and mobile-first cascades
+6. Ensure smooth transitions when breakpoint changes
+
+## Technical Architecture
+
+### BreakpointManager
+
+Central singleton that:
+- Monitors `window.innerWidth`
+- Determines current breakpoint based on project settings
+- Notifies subscribers when breakpoint changes
+- Handles both desktop-first and mobile-first cascade

+      if (this._model.breakpointParameters?.[bp]?.[name] !== undefined) {
+        return this._model.breakpointParameters[bp][name];
+      }
+    }
+    
+    // Fall back to base parameters
+    return this.getParameterValue(name);
+  },
+  
+  _applyParameterValue(name, value) {
+    // Override in specific node types to apply the value
+    // For visual nodes, this might update CSS properties
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 4: Integrate with Visual Nodes
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/visual/visualbase.js` (or equivalent)
+
+```javascript
+const breakpointManager = require('@noodl/runtime/src/breakpointmanager');
+
+// In visual node base
+
+{
+  initialize() {
+    // ... existing initialization
+    
+    // Set up breakpoint support
+    this._initializeBreakpointSupport();
+  },
+  
+  _onNodeDeleted() {
+    // ... existing cleanup
+    
+    this._disposeBreakpointSupport();
+  },
+  
+  // Override to apply CSS property values
+  _applyParameterValue(name, value) {
+    // Map parameter name to CSS property
+    const cssProperty = this._getCSSPropertyForParameter(name);
+    
+    if (cssProperty && this._internal.element) {
+      this._internal.element.style[cssProperty] = value;
+    }
+    
+    // Or if using React, set state/props
+    if (this._internal.reactComponent) {
+      // Trigger re-render with new value
+      this.forceUpdate();
+    }
+  },
+  
+  _getCSSPropertyForParameter(name) {
+    // Map Noodl parameter names to CSS properties
+    const mapping = {
+      marginTop: 'marginTop',
+      marginRight: 'marginRight',
+      marginBottom: 'marginBottom',
+      marginLeft: 'marginLeft',
+      paddingTop: 'paddingTop',
+      paddingRight: 'paddingRight',
+      paddingBottom: 'paddingBottom',
+      paddingLeft: 'paddingLeft',
+      width: 'width',
+      height: 'height',
+      minWidth: 'minWidth',
+      maxWidth: 'maxWidth',
+      minHeight: 'minHeight',
+      maxHeight: 'maxHeight',
+      fontSize: 'fontSize',
+      lineHeight: 'lineHeight',
+      letterSpacing: 'letterSpacing',
+      flexDirection: 'flexDirection',
+      alignItems: 'alignItems',
+      justifyContent: 'justifyContent',
+      flexWrap: 'flexWrap',
+      gap: 'gap'
+    };
+    
+    return mapping[name];
+  },
+  
+  // Override getStyle to use resolved breakpoint values
+  getStyle(name) {
+    // Check if this is a breakpoint-aware property
+    const port = this.getPort(name, 'input');
+    
+    if (port?.allowBreakpoints) {
+      return this.getResolvedParameterValue(name);
+    }
+    
+    // Fall back to existing behavior
+    return this._existingGetStyle(name);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 5: Update React Component Props
+
+**File:** For React-based visual nodes, update how props are computed
+
+```javascript
+// In the React component wrapper
+
+getReactProps() {
+  const props = {};
+  const ports = this.getPorts('input');
+  
+  for (const port of ports) {
+    // Use resolved value for breakpoint-aware properties
+    if (port.allowBreakpoints) {
+      props[port.name] = this.getResolvedParameterValue(port.name);
+    } else {
+      props[port.name] = this.getParameterValue(port.name);
+    }
+  }
+  
+  return props;
+}
+```
+
+### Step 6: Add Transition Support (Optional Enhancement)
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-runtime/src/breakpointmanager.js`
+
+```javascript
+// Add transition support for smooth breakpoint changes
+
+class BreakpointManager extends EventEmitter {
+  // ... existing code
+  
+  _updateBreakpoint(width) {
+    const newBreakpoint = this.getBreakpointForWidth(width);
+    
+    if (newBreakpoint !== this.currentBreakpoint) {
+      const previousBreakpoint = this.currentBreakpoint;
+      this.currentBreakpoint = newBreakpoint;
+      
+      // Add CSS class for transitions
+      if (typeof document !== 'undefined') {
+        document.body.classList.add('noodl-breakpoint-transitioning');
+        
+        // Remove after transition completes
+        setTimeout(() => {
+          document.body.classList.remove('noodl-breakpoint-transitioning');
+        }, 300);
+      }
+      
+      this.emit('breakpointChanged', {
+        breakpoint: newBreakpoint,
+        previousBreakpoint,
+        width
+      });
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**CSS:** Add to runtime styles
+
+```css
+/* Smooth transitions when breakpoint changes */
+.noodl-breakpoint-transitioning * {
+  transition: 
+    margin 0.2s ease-out,
+    padding 0.2s ease-out,
+    width 0.2s ease-out,
+    height 0.2s ease-out,
+    font-size 0.2s ease-out,
+    gap 0.2s ease-out !important;
+}
+```
+
+### Step 7: Editor-Runtime Communication
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/VisualCanvas/CanvasView.ts`
+
+```typescript
+// When breakpoint settings change in editor, sync to runtime
+
+onBreakpointSettingsChanged(settings: BreakpointSettings) {
+  this.tryWebviewCall(() => {
+    this.webview.executeJavaScript(`
+      if (window.NoodlRuntime && window.NoodlRuntime.breakpointManager) {
+        window.NoodlRuntime.breakpointManager.initialize(${JSON.stringify(settings)});
+      }
+    `);
+  });
+}
+
+// Optionally: Force breakpoint for preview purposes
+forceRuntimeBreakpoint(breakpointId: string | null) {
+  this.tryWebviewCall(() => {
+    this.webview.executeJavaScript(`
+      if (window.NoodlRuntime && window.NoodlRuntime.breakpointManager) {
+        window.NoodlRuntime.breakpointManager.forceBreakpoint(${JSON.stringify(breakpointId)});
+      }
+    `);
+  });
+}
+```

+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+- [ ] BreakpointManager correctly detects breakpoint from window width
+- [ ] BreakpointManager fires 'breakpointChanged' event on resize
+- [ ] Debouncing prevents excessive events during resize drag
+- [ ] Nodes receive breakpoint change notifications
+- [ ] Nodes apply correct breakpoint-specific values
+- [ ] Cascade works correctly (tablet inherits desktop values)
+- [ ] Mobile-first cascade works when configured
+- [ ] Values update smoothly during breakpoint transitions
+- [ ] `forceBreakpoint` works for testing/preview
+- [ ] Memory cleanup works (no leaks on node deletion)
+- [ ] Works in both editor preview and deployed app
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+1. ✅ Resizing browser window changes applied breakpoint
+2. ✅ Visual nodes update their dimensions/spacing instantly
+3. ✅ Values cascade correctly when not overridden
+4. ✅ Both desktop-first and mobile-first work
+5. ✅ No performance issues with many nodes
+
+## Gotchas & Notes
+
+1. **SSR Considerations**: If Noodl supports SSR, `window` won't exist on server. Guard all window access with `typeof window !== 'undefined'`.
+
+2. **Performance**: With many nodes subscribed, breakpoint changes could cause many re-renders. Consider:
+   - Batch updates using requestAnimationFrame
+   - Only re-render nodes whose values actually changed
+
+3. **Debounce Tuning**: 100ms debounce is a starting point. May need adjustment based on feel.
+
+4. **Transition Timing**: The CSS transition duration (0.2s) should match user expectations. Could make configurable.
+
+5. **Initial Load**: On first load, breakpoint should be set BEFORE first render to avoid flash of wrong layout.
+
+6. **Testing Breakpoints**: Add `breakpointManager.forceBreakpoint()` to allow testing different breakpoints without resizing window.
+
+7. **React Strict Mode**: If using React Strict Mode, ensure subscriptions are properly cleaned up (may fire twice in dev).
+
+## Performance Optimization Ideas
+
+1. **Selective Updates**: Track which properties actually differ between breakpoints, only update those.
+
+2. **CSS Variables**: Consider using CSS custom properties for breakpoint values, letting browser handle changes:
+   ```javascript
+   // Set CSS variable per breakpoint
+   document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--node-123-margin-top', '24px');
+   ```
+
+3. **Batch Notifications**: Collect all changed nodes and update in single batch:
+   ```javascript
+   requestAnimationFrame(() => {
+     changedNodes.forEach(node => node.forceUpdate());
+   });
+   ```

+# Phase 4: Variants Integration
+
+## Overview
+
+Extend the existing Variants system to support breakpoint-specific values. When a user creates a variant (e.g., "Big Blue Button"), they should be able to define different margin/padding/width values for each breakpoint within that variant.
+
+**Estimate:** 1-2 days
+
+**Dependencies:** Phases 1-3
+
+## Goals
+
+1. Add `breakpointParameters` to VariantModel
+2. Extend variant editing UI to show breakpoint selector
+3. Implement value resolution hierarchy: Variant breakpoint → Variant base → Node base
+4. Ensure variant updates propagate to all nodes using that variant
+
+## Value Resolution Hierarchy
+
+When a node uses a variant, values are resolved in this order:
+
+```
+1. Node instance breakpointParameters[currentBreakpoint][property]
+   ↓ (if undefined)
+2. Node instance parameters[property]
+   ↓ (if undefined)
+3. Variant breakpointParameters[currentBreakpoint][property]
+   ↓ (if undefined, cascade to larger breakpoints)
+4. Variant parameters[property]
+   ↓ (if undefined)
+5. Node type default
+```
+
+### Example
+
+```javascript
+// Variant "Big Blue Button"
+{
+  name: 'Big Blue Button',
+  typename: 'net.noodl.visual.controls.button',
+  parameters: {
+    paddingLeft: '24px',      // base padding
+    paddingRight: '24px'
+  },
+  breakpointParameters: {
+    tablet: { paddingLeft: '16px', paddingRight: '16px' },
+    phone: { paddingLeft: '12px', paddingRight: '12px' }
+  }
+}
+
+// Node instance using this variant
+{
+  variantName: 'Big Blue Button',
+  parameters: {},                    // no instance overrides
+  breakpointParameters: {
+    phone: { paddingLeft: '8px' }    // only override phone left padding
+  }
+}
+
+// Resolution for paddingLeft on phone:
+// 1. Check node.breakpointParameters.phone.paddingLeft → '8px' ✓ (use this)
+
+// Resolution for paddingRight on phone:
+// 1. Check node.breakpointParameters.phone.paddingRight → undefined
+// 2. Check node.parameters.paddingRight → undefined
+// 3. Check variant.breakpointParameters.phone.paddingRight → '12px' ✓ (use this)
+```
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+### Step 1: Extend VariantModel
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/VariantModel.ts`
+
+```typescript
+export class VariantModel extends Model {
+  name: string;
+  typename: string;
+  parameters: Record<string, any>;
+  stateParameters: Record<string, Record<string, any>>;
+  stateTransitions: Record<string, any>;
+  defaultStateTransitions: any;
+  
+  // NEW
+  breakpointParameters: Record<string, Record<string, any>>;
+  
+  constructor(args) {
+    super();
+    
+    this.name = args.name;
+    this.typename = args.typename;
+    this.parameters = {};
+    this.stateParameters = {};
+    this.stateTransitions = {};
+    this.breakpointParameters = {};  // NEW
+  }
+  
+  // NEW methods
+  hasBreakpointParameter(name: string, breakpoint: string): boolean {
+    return this.breakpointParameters?.[breakpoint]?.[name] !== undefined;
+  }
+  
+  getBreakpointParameter(name: string, breakpoint: string): any {
+    return this.breakpointParameters?.[breakpoint]?.[name];
+  }
+  
+  setBreakpointParameter(name: string, value: any, breakpoint: string, args?: any) {
+    if (!this.breakpointParameters) this.breakpointParameters = {};
+    if (!this.breakpointParameters[breakpoint]) this.breakpointParameters[breakpoint] = {};
+    
+    const oldValue = this.breakpointParameters[breakpoint][name];
+    
+    if (value === undefined) {
+      delete this.breakpointParameters[breakpoint][name];
+    } else {
+      this.breakpointParameters[breakpoint][name] = value;
+    }
+    
+    this.notifyListeners('variantParametersChanged', {
+      name,
+      value,
+      breakpoint
+    });
+    
+    // Undo support
+    if (args?.undo) {
+      const undo = typeof args.undo === 'object' ? args.undo : UndoQueue.instance;
+      
+      undo.push({
+        label: args.label || 'change variant breakpoint parameter',
+        do: () => this.setBreakpointParameter(name, value, breakpoint),
+        undo: () => this.setBreakpointParameter(name, oldValue, breakpoint)
+      });
+    }
+  }
+  
+  // Extend getParameter to support breakpoint context
+  getParameter(name: string, args?: { state?: string; breakpoint?: string }): any {
+    let value;
+    
+    // Check breakpoint-specific value
+    if (args?.breakpoint && args.breakpoint !== 'desktop') {
+      value = this.getBreakpointParameterWithCascade(name, args.breakpoint);
+      if (value !== undefined) return value;
+    }
+    
+    // Check state-specific value (existing logic)
+    if (args?.state && args.state !== 'neutral') {
+      if (this.stateParameters?.[args.state]?.[name] !== undefined) {
+        value = this.stateParameters[args.state][name];
+      }
+      if (value !== undefined) return value;
+    }
+    
+    // Check base parameters
+    value = this.parameters[name];
+    if (value !== undefined) return value;
+    
+    // Get default from port
+    const port = this.getPort(name, 'input');
+    return port?.default;
+  }
+  
+  getBreakpointParameterWithCascade(name: string, breakpoint: string): any {
+    // Check current breakpoint
+    if (this.breakpointParameters?.[breakpoint]?.[name] !== undefined) {
+      return this.breakpointParameters[breakpoint][name];
+    }
+    
+    // Cascade to larger breakpoints
+    const settings = ProjectModel.instance.getBreakpointSettings();
+    const cascadeOrder = settings.breakpoints.map(bp => bp.id);
+    const currentIndex = cascadeOrder.indexOf(breakpoint);
+    
+    for (let i = currentIndex - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
+      const bp = cascadeOrder[i];
+      if (this.breakpointParameters?.[bp]?.[name] !== undefined) {
+        return this.breakpointParameters[bp][name];
+      }
+    }
+    
+    return undefined;
+  }
+  
+  // Extend updateFromNode to include breakpoint parameters
+  updateFromNode(node) {
+    _merge(this.parameters, node.parameters);
+    
+    // Merge breakpoint parameters
+    if (node.breakpointParameters) {
+      if (!this.breakpointParameters) this.breakpointParameters = {};
+      for (const breakpoint in node.breakpointParameters) {
+        if (!this.breakpointParameters[breakpoint]) {
+          this.breakpointParameters[breakpoint] = {};
+        }
+        _merge(this.breakpointParameters[breakpoint], node.breakpointParameters[breakpoint]);
+      }
+    }
+    
+    // ... existing state parameter merging
+    
+    this.notifyListeners('variantParametersChanged');
+  }
+  
+  // Extend toJSON
+  toJSON() {
+    return {
+      name: this.name,
+      typename: this.typename,
+      parameters: this.parameters,
+      stateParameters: this.stateParameters,
+      stateTransitions: this.stateTransitions,
+      defaultStateTransitions: this.defaultStateTransitions,
+      breakpointParameters: this.breakpointParameters  // NEW
+    };
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 2: Extend Runtime Variant Handling
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-runtime/src/models/graphmodel.js`
+
+```javascript
+// Add method to update variant breakpoint parameters
+GraphModel.prototype.updateVariantBreakpointParameter = function(
+  variantName,
+  variantTypeName,
+  parameterName,
+  parameterValue,
+  breakpoint
+) {
+  const variant = this.getVariant(variantTypeName, variantName);
+  if (!variant) {
+    console.log("updateVariantBreakpointParameter: can't find variant", variantName, variantTypeName);
+    return;
+  }
+  
+  if (!variant.breakpointParameters) {
+    variant.breakpointParameters = {};
+  }
+  
+  if (!variant.breakpointParameters[breakpoint]) {
+    variant.breakpointParameters[breakpoint] = {};
+  }
+  
+  if (parameterValue === undefined) {
+    delete variant.breakpointParameters[breakpoint][parameterName];
+  } else {
+    variant.breakpointParameters[breakpoint][parameterName] = parameterValue;
+  }
+  
+  this.emit('variantUpdated', variant);
+};
+```
+
+### Step 3: Extend ModelProxy for Variant Editing
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/propertyeditor/models/modelProxy.ts`
+
+```typescript
+export class ModelProxy {
+  // ... existing properties
+  
+  getParameter(name: string) {
+    const source = this.editMode === 'variant' ? this.model.variant : this.model;
+    const port = this.model.getPort(name, 'input');
+    
+    // Breakpoint handling
+    if (port?.allowBreakpoints && this.breakpoint && this.breakpoint !== 'desktop') {
+      // Check for breakpoint-specific value in source
+      const breakpointValue = source.getBreakpointParameter?.(name, this.breakpoint);
+      if (breakpointValue !== undefined) return breakpointValue;
+      
+      // Cascade logic...
+    }
+    
+    // ... existing visual state and base parameter logic
+    
+    return source.getParameter(name, { 
+      state: this.visualState,
+      breakpoint: this.breakpoint
+    });
+  }
+  
+  setParameter(name: string, value: any, args: any = {}) {
+    const port = this.model.getPort(name, 'input');
+    const target = this.editMode === 'variant' ? this.model.variant : this.model;
+    
+    // If setting a breakpoint-specific value
+    if (port?.allowBreakpoints && this.breakpoint && this.breakpoint !== 'desktop') {
+      target.setBreakpointParameter(name, value, this.breakpoint, {
+        ...args,
+        undo: args.undo
+      });
+      return;
+    }
+    
+    // ... existing parameter setting logic
+  }
+  
+  isBreakpointValueInherited(name: string): boolean {
+    if (!this.breakpoint || this.breakpoint === 'desktop') return false;
+    
+    const source = this.editMode === 'variant' ? this.model.variant : this.model;
+    return !source.hasBreakpointParameter?.(name, this.breakpoint);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 4: Update Variant Editor UI
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/propertyeditor/components/VariantStates/variantseditor.tsx`
+
+```tsx
+// Add breakpoint selector to variant editing mode
+
+export class VariantsEditor extends React.Component<VariantsEditorProps, State> {
+  // ... existing implementation
+  
+  renderEditMode() {
+    const hasBreakpointPorts = this.hasBreakpointAwarePorts();
+    
+    return (
+      <div style={{ width: '100%' }}>
+        <div className="variants-edit-mode-header">Edit variant</div>
+        
+        {/* Show breakpoint selector in variant edit mode */}
+        {hasBreakpointPorts && (
+          <BreakpointSelector
+            breakpoints={this.getBreakpoints()}
+            selectedBreakpoint={this.state.breakpoint || 'desktop'}
+            overrideCounts={this.calculateVariantOverrideCounts()}
+            onBreakpointChange={this.onBreakpointChanged.bind(this)}
+          />
+        )}
+        
+        <div className="variants-section">
+          <label>{this.state.variant.name}</label>
+          <button
+            className="variants-button teal"
+            style={{ marginLeft: 'auto', width: '78px' }}
+            onClick={this.onDoneEditingVariant.bind(this)}
+          >
+            Close
+          </button>
+        </div>
+      </div>
+    );
+  }
+  
+  onBreakpointChanged(breakpoint: string) {
+    this.setState({ breakpoint });
+    this.props.onBreakpointChanged?.(breakpoint);
+  }
+  
+  calculateVariantOverrideCounts(): Record<string, number> {
+    const counts: Record<string, number> = {};
+    const variant = this.state.variant;
+    const settings = ProjectModel.instance.getBreakpointSettings();
+    
+    for (const bp of settings.breakpoints) {
+      if (bp.id === settings.defaultBreakpoint) continue;
+      
+      const overrides = variant.breakpointParameters?.[bp.id];
+      counts[bp.id] = overrides ? Object.keys(overrides).length : 0;
+    }
+    
+    return counts;
+  }
+  
+  hasBreakpointAwarePorts(): boolean {
+    const type = NodeLibrary.instance.getNodeTypeWithName(this.state.variant?.typename);
+    if (!type?.ports) return false;
+    
+    return type.ports.some(p => p.allowBreakpoints);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 5: Update NodeGraphNode Value Resolution
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/nodegraphmodel/NodeGraphNode.ts`
+
+```typescript
+getParameter(name: string, args?: { state?: string; breakpoint?: string }): any {

+  
+  // 1. Check instance breakpoint parameters
+  if (args?.breakpoint && args.breakpoint !== 'desktop') {

+    if (value !== undefined) return value;
+  }
+  
+  // 2. Check instance base parameters
+  value = this.parameters[name];
+  if (value !== undefined) return value;
+  
+  // 3. Check variant (if has one)
+  if (this.variant) {
+    value = this.variant.getParameter(name, args);
+    if (value !== undefined) return value;
+  }
+  
+  // 4. Get port default
+  const port = this.getPort(name, 'input');
+  return port?.default;
+}
+
+getBreakpointParameterWithCascade(name: string, breakpoint: string): any {
+  // Check current breakpoint
+  if (this.breakpointParameters?.[breakpoint]?.[name] !== undefined) {
+    return this.breakpointParameters[breakpoint][name];
+  }
+  
+  // Cascade to larger breakpoints (instance level)
+  const settings = ProjectModel.instance.getBreakpointSettings();
+  const cascadeOrder = settings.breakpoints.map(bp => bp.id);
+  const currentIndex = cascadeOrder.indexOf(breakpoint);
+  
+  for (let i = currentIndex - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
+    const bp = cascadeOrder[i];
+    if (this.breakpointParameters?.[bp]?.[name] !== undefined) {
+      return this.breakpointParameters[bp][name];
+    }
+  }
+  
+  // Check variant breakpoint parameters
+  if (this.variant) {
+    return this.variant.getBreakpointParameterWithCascade(name, breakpoint);
+  }
+  
+  return undefined;
+}
+```
+
+### Step 6: Sync Variant Changes to Runtime
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/projectmodel.ts`
+
+```typescript
+// When variant breakpoint parameters change, sync to runtime
+
+onVariantParametersChanged(variant: VariantModel, changeInfo: any) {
+  // ... existing sync logic
+  
+  // If breakpoint parameter changed, notify runtime
+  if (changeInfo.breakpoint) {
+    this.graphModel.updateVariantBreakpointParameter(
+      variant.name,
+      variant.typename,
+      changeInfo.name,
+      changeInfo.value,
+      changeInfo.breakpoint
+    );
+  }
+}
+```
+

+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+- [ ] Can create variant with breakpoint-specific values
+- [ ] Variant breakpoint values are saved to project JSON
+- [ ] Variant breakpoint values are loaded from project JSON
+- [ ] Node instance inherits variant breakpoint values correctly
+- [ ] Node instance can override specific variant breakpoint values
+- [ ] Cascade works: variant tablet inherits from variant desktop
+- [ ] Editing variant in "Edit variant" mode shows breakpoint selector
+- [ ] Changes to variant breakpoint values propagate to all instances
+- [ ] Undo/redo works for variant breakpoint changes
+- [ ] Runtime applies variant breakpoint values correctly
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+1. ✅ Variants can have different values per breakpoint
+2. ✅ Node instances inherit variant breakpoint values
+3. ✅ Node instances can selectively override variant values
+4. ✅ UI allows editing variant breakpoint values
+5. ✅ Runtime correctly resolves variant + breakpoint hierarchy
+
+## Gotchas & Notes
+
+1. **Resolution Order**: The hierarchy is complex. Make sure tests cover all combinations:
+   - Instance breakpoint override > Instance base > Variant breakpoint > Variant base > Type default
+
+2. **Variant Edit Mode**: When editing a variant, the breakpoint selector edits the VARIANT's breakpoint values, not the instance's.
+
+3. **Variant Update Propagation**: When a variant's breakpoint values change, ALL nodes using that variant need to update. This could be performance-sensitive.
+
+4. **State + Breakpoint + Variant**: The full combination is: variant/instance × state × breakpoint. For simplicity, we might NOT support visual state variations within variant breakpoint values (e.g., no "variant hover on tablet"). Confirm this is acceptable.
+
+5. **Migration**: Existing variants won't have breakpointParameters. Handle gracefully (undefined → empty object).
+
+## Complexity Note
+
+This phase adds a third dimension to the value resolution:
+- **Visual States**: hover, pressed, disabled
+- **Breakpoints**: desktop, tablet, phone
+- **Variants**: named style variations
+
+The full matrix can get complex. For this phase, we're keeping visual states and breakpoints as independent axes (they don't interact with each other within variants). A future phase could add combined state+breakpoint support if needed.

+# Phase 5: Visual States + Breakpoints Combo
+
+## Overview
+
+Enable granular control where users can define values for specific combinations of visual state AND breakpoint. For example: "button hover state on tablet" can have different padding than "button hover state on desktop".
+
+**Estimate:** 2 days
+
+**Dependencies:** Phases 1-4
+
+## Goals
+
+1. Add `stateBreakpointParameters` storage for combined state+breakpoint values
+2. Implement resolution hierarchy with combo values at highest priority
+3. Update property panel UI to show combo editing option
+4. Ensure runtime correctly resolves combo values
+
+## When This Is Useful
+
+Without combo support:
+- Button hover padding is `20px` (all breakpoints)
+- Button tablet padding is `16px` (all states)
+- When hovering on tablet → ambiguous! Which wins?
+
+With combo support:
+- Can explicitly set: "button hover ON tablet = `18px`"
+- Clear, deterministic resolution
+
+## Data Model
+
+```javascript
+{
+  parameters: {
+    paddingLeft: '24px'           // base
+  },
+  stateParameters: {
+    hover: { paddingLeft: '28px' } // hover state (all breakpoints)
+  },
+  breakpointParameters: {
+    tablet: { paddingLeft: '16px' } // tablet (all states)
+  },
+  // NEW: Combined state + breakpoint
+  stateBreakpointParameters: {
+    'hover:tablet': { paddingLeft: '20px' },  // hover ON tablet
+    'hover:phone': { paddingLeft: '14px' },   // hover ON phone
+    'pressed:tablet': { paddingLeft: '18px' } // pressed ON tablet
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Resolution Hierarchy
+
+From highest to lowest priority:
+
+```
+1. stateBreakpointParameters['hover:tablet']  // Most specific
+   ↓ (if undefined)
+2. stateParameters['hover']                   // State-specific
+   ↓ (if undefined)  
+3. breakpointParameters['tablet']             // Breakpoint-specific
+   ↓ (if undefined, cascade to larger breakpoints)
+4. parameters                                 // Base value
+   ↓ (if undefined)
+5. variant values (same hierarchy)
+   ↓ (if undefined)
+6. type default
+```
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+### Step 1: Extend NodeGraphNode Model
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/nodegraphmodel/NodeGraphNode.ts`
+
+```typescript
+export class NodeGraphNode {
+  // ... existing properties

+    this.stateBreakpointParameters = args.stateBreakpointParameters || {};
+  }
+  
+  // NEW methods
+  getStateBreakpointKey(state: string, breakpoint: string): string {
+    return `${state}:${breakpoint}`;
+  }
+  
+  hasStateBreakpointParameter(name: string, state: string, breakpoint: string): boolean {
+    const key = this.getStateBreakpointKey(state, breakpoint);
+    return this.stateBreakpointParameters?.[key]?.[name] !== undefined;
+  }
+  
+  getStateBreakpointParameter(name: string, state: string, breakpoint: string): any {
+    const key = this.getStateBreakpointKey(state, breakpoint);
+    return this.stateBreakpointParameters?.[key]?.[name];
+  }
+  
+  setStateBreakpointParameter(
+    name: string, 
+    value: any, 
+    state: string,

+    args?: any
+  ): void {
+    const key = this.getStateBreakpointKey(state, breakpoint);
+

+      delete this.stateBreakpointParameters[key][name];
+      // Clean up empty objects
+      if (Object.keys(this.stateBreakpointParameters[key]).length === 0) {
+        delete this.stateBreakpointParameters[key];
+      }
+    } else {
+      this.stateBreakpointParameters[key][name] = value;
+    }
+    
+    this.notifyListeners('parametersChanged', { 
+      name, 
+      value, 
+      state, 
+      breakpoint,
+      combo: true 
+    });
+    
+    // Undo support
+    if (args?.undo) {
+      const undo = typeof args.undo === 'object' ? args.undo : UndoQueue.instance;
+      
+      undo.push({
+        label: args.label || `change ${name} for ${state} on ${breakpoint}`,
+        do: () => this.setStateBreakpointParameter(name, value, state, breakpoint),
+        undo: () => this.setStateBreakpointParameter(name, oldValue, state, breakpoint)
+      });
+    }
+  }
+  
+  // Updated getParameter with full resolution
+  getParameter(name: string, args?: { state?: string; breakpoint?: string }): any {
+    const state = args?.state;
+    const breakpoint = args?.breakpoint;
+    const defaultBreakpoint = ProjectModel.instance.getBreakpointSettings().defaultBreakpoint;
+    
+    // 1. Check state + breakpoint combo (most specific)

+      const comboValue = this.getStateBreakpointParameter(name, state, breakpoint);
+      if (comboValue !== undefined) return comboValue;
+    }
+    
+    // 2. Check state-specific value
+    if (state && state !== 'neutral') {
+      if (this.stateParameters?.[state]?.[name] !== undefined) {
+        return this.stateParameters[state][name];
+      }
+    }
+    
+    // 3. Check breakpoint-specific value (with cascade)
+    if (breakpoint && breakpoint !== defaultBreakpoint) {
+      const breakpointValue = this.getBreakpointParameterWithCascade(name, breakpoint);
+      if (breakpointValue !== undefined) return breakpointValue;
+    }
+    
+    // 4. Check base parameters
+    if (this.parameters[name] !== undefined) {
+      return this.parameters[name];
+    }
+    
+    // 5. Check variant (with same hierarchy)
+    if (this.variant) {
+      return this.variant.getParameter(name, args);
+    }
+    
+    // 6. Type default
+    const port = this.getPort(name, 'input');
+    return port?.default;
+  }
+  
+  // Extend toJSON
+  toJSON(): object {
+    return {
+      ...existingFields,
+      stateBreakpointParameters: this.stateBreakpointParameters
+    };
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 2: Extend ModelProxy
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/propertyeditor/models/modelProxy.ts`
+
+```typescript
+export class ModelProxy {
+  // ... existing properties
+  
+  getParameter(name: string) {
+    const source = this.editMode === 'variant' ? this.model.variant : this.model;
+    const port = this.model.getPort(name, 'input');
+    const state = this.visualState;
+    const breakpoint = this.breakpoint;
+    const defaultBreakpoint = ProjectModel.instance.getBreakpointSettings().defaultBreakpoint;
+    
+    // Check if both state and breakpoint are set (combo scenario)
+    const hasState = state && state !== 'neutral';
+    const hasBreakpoint = breakpoint && breakpoint !== defaultBreakpoint;
+    
+    // For combo: only check if BOTH the property allows states AND breakpoints
+    if (hasState && hasBreakpoint && port?.allowVisualStates && port?.allowBreakpoints) {

+      if (comboValue !== undefined) return comboValue;
+    }
+    
+    // ... existing resolution logic
+    return source.getParameter(name, { state, breakpoint });
+  }
+  
+  setParameter(name: string, value: any, args: any = {}) {
+    const port = this.model.getPort(name, 'input');
+    const target = this.editMode === 'variant' ? this.model.variant : this.model;
+    const state = this.visualState;
+    const breakpoint = this.breakpoint;
+    const defaultBreakpoint = ProjectModel.instance.getBreakpointSettings().defaultBreakpoint;
+    
+    const hasState = state && state !== 'neutral';
+    const hasBreakpoint = breakpoint && breakpoint !== defaultBreakpoint;
+    
+    // If BOTH state and breakpoint are active, and property supports both
+    if (hasState && hasBreakpoint && port?.allowVisualStates && port?.allowBreakpoints) {
+      target.setStateBreakpointParameter(name, value, state, breakpoint, {
+        ...args,
+        undo: args.undo
+      });
+      return;
+    }
+    
+    // If only breakpoint (and property supports it)
+    if (hasBreakpoint && port?.allowBreakpoints) {
+      target.setBreakpointParameter(name, value, breakpoint, {

+      });
+      return;
+    }
+    
+    // ... existing parameter setting logic (state or base)
+    args.state = state;

+  
+  // NEW: Check if current value is from combo
+  isComboValue(name: string): boolean {
+    if (!this.visualState || this.visualState === 'neutral') return false;
+    if (!this.breakpoint || this.breakpoint === 'desktop') return false;
+    
+    const source = this.editMode === 'variant' ? this.model.variant : this.model;
+    return source.hasStateBreakpointParameter?.(name, this.visualState, this.breakpoint) || false;
+  }
+  
+  // NEW: Get info about where current value comes from
+  getValueSource(name: string): 'combo' | 'state' | 'breakpoint' | 'base' {

+    }
+    
+    if (breakpoint && breakpoint !== 'desktop') {

+        return 'breakpoint';
+      }
+    }
+    
+    return 'base';
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 3: Update Property Panel UI
+
+**File:** Update property row to show combo indicators
+
+```tsx
+// In PropertyPanelRow or equivalent
+
+export function PropertyPanelRow({
+  label,
+  children,
+  isBreakpointAware,
+  allowsVisualStates,
+  valueSource,  // 'combo' | 'state' | 'breakpoint' | 'base'
+  currentState,
+  currentBreakpoint,
+  onReset
+}: PropertyPanelRowProps) {
+  
+  function getIndicator() {
+    switch (valueSource) {
+      case 'combo':
+        return (
+          <Tooltip content={`Set for ${currentState} on ${currentBreakpoint}`}>
+            <span className={css.ComboIndicator}>
+              ● {currentState} + {currentBreakpoint}
+            </span>
+          </Tooltip>
+        );
+      
+      case 'state':
+        return (
+          <Tooltip content={`Set for ${currentState} state`}>
+            <span className={css.StateIndicator}>● {currentState}</span>
+          </Tooltip>
+        );
+      
+      case 'breakpoint':
+        return (
+          <Tooltip content={`Set for ${currentBreakpoint}`}>
+            <span className={css.BreakpointIndicator}>● {currentBreakpoint}</span>
+          </Tooltip>
+        );
+      
+      case 'base':
+      default:
+        if (currentState !== 'neutral' || currentBreakpoint !== 'desktop') {
+          return <span className={css.Inherited}>(inherited)</span>;
+        }
+        return null;
+    }
+  }
+  
+  return (
+    <div className={css.Root}>
+      <label className={css.Label}>{label}</label>
+      <div className={css.InputContainer}>
+        {children}
+        {getIndicator()}
+        {valueSource !== 'base' && onReset && (
+          <button className={css.ResetButton} onClick={onReset}>
+            <Icon icon={IconName.Undo} size={12} />
+          </button>
+        )}
+      </div>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Step 4: Update Runtime Resolution
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-runtime/src/nodes/nodebase.js`
+
+```javascript
+{
+  getResolvedParameterValue(name) {
+    const port = this.getPort ? this.getPort(name, 'input') : null;
+    const currentBreakpoint = breakpointManager.getCurrentBreakpoint();
+    const currentState = this._internal?.currentVisualState || 'default';
+    const defaultBreakpoint = breakpointManager.settings?.defaultBreakpoint || 'desktop';
+    
+    // 1. Check combo value (state + breakpoint)
+    if (port?.allowVisualStates && port?.allowBreakpoints) {
+      if (currentState !== 'default' && currentBreakpoint !== defaultBreakpoint) {
+        const comboKey = `${currentState}:${currentBreakpoint}`;
+        const comboValue = this._model.stateBreakpointParameters?.[comboKey]?.[name];
+        if (comboValue !== undefined) return comboValue;
+      }
+    }
+    
+    // 2. Check state-specific value
+    if (port?.allowVisualStates && currentState !== 'default') {
+      const stateValue = this._model.stateParameters?.[currentState]?.[name];
+      if (stateValue !== undefined) return stateValue;
+    }
+    
+    // 3. Check breakpoint-specific value (with cascade)
+    if (port?.allowBreakpoints && currentBreakpoint !== defaultBreakpoint) {
+      const breakpointValue = this.getBreakpointValueWithCascade(name, currentBreakpoint);
+      if (breakpointValue !== undefined) return breakpointValue;
+    }
+    
+    // 4. Base parameters
+    return this.getParameterValue(name);
+  },
+  
+  getBreakpointValueWithCascade(name, breakpoint) {
+    // Check current breakpoint
+    if (this._model.breakpointParameters?.[breakpoint]?.[name] !== undefined) {
+      return this._model.breakpointParameters[breakpoint][name];
+    }
+    
+    // Cascade
+    const inheritanceChain = breakpointManager.getInheritanceChain(breakpoint);
+    for (const bp of inheritanceChain.reverse()) {
+      if (this._model.breakpointParameters?.[bp]?.[name] !== undefined) {
+        return this._model.breakpointParameters[bp][name];
+      }
+    }
+    
+    return undefined;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 5: Extend VariantModel (Optional)
+
+If we want variants to also support combo values:
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/VariantModel.ts`
+
+```typescript
+export class VariantModel extends Model {
+  // ... existing properties
+  
+  stateBreakpointParameters: Record<string, Record<string, any>>;
+  
+  // Add similar methods as NodeGraphNode:
+  // - hasStateBreakpointParameter
+  // - getStateBreakpointParameter
+  // - setStateBreakpointParameter
+  
+  // Update getParameter to include combo resolution
+  getParameter(name: string, args?: { state?: string; breakpoint?: string }): any {
+    const state = args?.state;
+    const breakpoint = args?.breakpoint;
+    
+    // 1. Check combo
+    if (state && state !== 'neutral' && breakpoint && breakpoint !== 'desktop') {
+      const comboKey = `${state}:${breakpoint}`;
+      if (this.stateBreakpointParameters?.[comboKey]?.[name] !== undefined) {
+        return this.stateBreakpointParameters[comboKey][name];
+      }
+    }
+    
+    // ... rest of resolution hierarchy
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 6: Update Serialization
+
+**File:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/nodegraphmodel/NodeGraphNode.ts`
+
+```typescript
+// In toJSON()
+toJSON(): object {
+  const json: any = {
+    id: this.id,
+    type: this.type.name,
+    parameters: this.parameters,
+    // ... other fields
+  };
+  
+  // Only include if not empty
+  if (this.stateParameters && Object.keys(this.stateParameters).length > 0) {
+    json.stateParameters = this.stateParameters;
+  }
+  
+  if (this.breakpointParameters && Object.keys(this.breakpointParameters).length > 0) {
+    json.breakpointParameters = this.breakpointParameters;
+  }
+  
+  if (this.stateBreakpointParameters && Object.keys(this.stateBreakpointParameters).length > 0) {
+    json.stateBreakpointParameters = this.stateBreakpointParameters;
+  }
+  
+  return json;
+}
+
+// In fromJSON / constructor
+static fromJSON(json) {
+  return new NodeGraphNode({
+    ...json,
+    stateBreakpointParameters: json.stateBreakpointParameters || {}
+  });
+}
+```

+## Testing Checklist
+
+- [ ] Can set combo value (e.g., hover + tablet)
+- [ ] Combo value takes priority over individual state/breakpoint values
+- [ ] When state OR breakpoint changes, combo value is no longer used (falls through to next priority)
+- [ ] Combo values are saved to project JSON
+- [ ] Combo values are loaded from project JSON
+- [ ] UI shows correct indicator for combo values
+- [ ] Reset button clears combo value correctly
+- [ ] Runtime applies combo values correctly when both conditions match
+- [ ] Undo/redo works for combo value changes
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+1. ✅ Can define "hover on tablet" as distinct from "hover" and "tablet"
+2. ✅ Clear UI indication of what level value is set at
+3. ✅ Values fall through correctly when combo doesn't match
+4. ✅ Runtime correctly identifies when combo conditions are met
+
+## Gotchas & Notes
+
+1. **Complexity**: This adds significant complexity. Consider if this is really needed, or if the simpler "state values apply across all breakpoints" is sufficient.
+
+2. **UI Clarity**: The UI needs to clearly communicate which level a value is set at. Consider using different colors:
+   - Purple dot: combo value (state + breakpoint)
+   - Blue dot: state value only
+   - Green dot: breakpoint value only
+   - Gray/no dot: base value
+
+3. **Property Support**: Only properties that have BOTH `allowVisualStates: true` AND `allowBreakpoints: true` can have combo values. In practice, this might be a small subset (mostly spacing properties for interactive elements).
+
+4. **Variant Complexity**: If variants also support combos, the full hierarchy becomes:
+   - Instance combo → Instance state → Instance breakpoint → Instance base
+   - → Variant combo → Variant state → Variant breakpoint → Variant base
+   - → Type default
+   
+   This is 9 levels! Consider if variant combo support is worth it.
+
+5. **Performance**: With 4 breakpoints × 4 states × N properties, the parameter space grows quickly. Make sure resolution is efficient.
+
+## Alternative: Simpler Approach
+
+If combo complexity is too high, consider this simpler alternative:
+
+**States inherit from breakpoint, not base:**
+
+```
+Current: state value = same across all breakpoints
+Alternative: state value = applied ON TOP OF current breakpoint value
+```
+
+Example:
+```javascript
+// Base: paddingLeft = 24px
+// Tablet: paddingLeft = 16px
+// Hover state: paddingLeft = +4px (relative)
+
+// Result:
+// Desktop hover = 24 + 4 = 28px
+// Tablet hover = 16 + 4 = 20px
+```
+
+This avoids needing explicit combo values but requires supporting relative/delta values for states, which has its own complexity.

+# TASK: Video Player Node
+
+**Task ID:** NODES-001  
+**Priority:** Medium-High  
+**Estimated Effort:** 16-24 hours  
+**Prerequisites:** React 18.3+ runtime (completed)  
+**Status:** Ready for Implementation
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Create a comprehensive Video Player node that handles video playback from URLs or blobs with rich inputs and outputs for complete video management. This addresses a gap in Noodl's visual node offerings - currently users must resort to Function nodes for anything beyond basic video display.
+
+### Why This Matters
+
+- **Table stakes feature** - Users expect video playback in any modern low-code tool
+- **App builder unlock** - Enables video-centric apps (portfolios, e-learning, social, editors)
+- **Blob support differentiator** - Play local files without server upload (rare in competitors)
+- **Community requested** - Direct request from OpenNoodl community
+
+---
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Video plays from URL (mp4, webm)
+- [ ] Video plays from blob/File object (from File Picker node)
+- [ ] All playback controls work via signal inputs
+- [ ] Time tracking outputs update in real-time
+- [ ] Events fire correctly for all lifecycle moments
+- [ ] Fullscreen and Picture-in-Picture work cross-browser
+- [ ] Frame capture produces valid base64 image
+- [ ] Captions/subtitles display from VTT file
+- [ ] Works in both editor preview and deployed apps
+- [ ] Performance: time updates don't cause UI jank
+
+---
+
+## Technical Architecture
+
+### Node Registration
+
+```
+Location: packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/nodes/visual/videoplayer.js (new file)

+
+## Code Examples for Users
+
+### Basic Video Playback
+```
+[Video URL] → [Video Player] 
+                    ↓
+              [Is Playing] → [If node for UI state]
+```
+
+### Custom Controls
+```
+[Button "Play"] → Play signal → [Video Player]
+[Button "Pause"] → Pause signal ↗
+[Slider] → Seek Time + Seek To signal ↗
+                                    ↓
+                           [Current Time] → [Text display]
+                           [Duration] → [Text display]
+```
+
+### Video Upload Preview
+```
+[File Picker] → Blob → [Video Player]
+                              ↓
+                        [Capture Frame] → [Image node for thumbnail]
+```
+
+### E-Learning Progress Tracking
+```
+[Video Player] 
+      ↓
+[Progress] → [Progress Bar]
+[Ended] → [Mark Lesson Complete logic]
+```
+
+---
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+1. **Time Update Throttling**: The `timeupdate` event fires frequently (4-66Hz). Use `useDeferredValue` to prevent connected nodes from causing frame drops.
+
+2. **Blob Memory**: When using blob sources, ensure proper cleanup on source change to prevent memory leaks.
+
+3. **Frame Capture**: Canvas operations are synchronous. For large videos, this may cause brief UI freeze. Document this limitation.
+
+4. **Multiple Instances**: Test with 3-5 Video Player nodes on same page to ensure no conflicts.
+
+---
+
+## React 19 Benefits
+
+While this node works on React 18.3, React 19 offers:
+
+1. **`ref` as prop** - Cleaner implementation without `forwardRef` wrapper
+2. **`useDeferredValue` improvements** - Better time update performance
+3. **`useTransition` for seeking** - Non-blocking seek operations
+
+```javascript
+// React 19 pattern for smooth seeking
+const [isPending, startTransition] = useTransition();
+
+function handleSeek(time) {
+  startTransition(() => {
+    videoRef.current.currentTime = time;
+  });
+}
+// isPending can drive "Is Seeking" output
+```
+
+---
+
+## Documentation Requirements
+
+After implementation, create:
+- [ ] Node reference page for docs site
+- [ ] Example project: "Video Gallery"
+- [ ] Example project: "Custom Video Controls"
+- [ ] Migration guide from Function-based video handling
+
+---
+
+## Notes & Gotchas
+
+1. **iOS Autoplay**: iOS requires `playsInline` and `muted` for autoplay to work
+2. **CORS**: External videos may need proper CORS headers for frame capture
+3. **HLS/DASH**: May require additional libraries (hls.js, dash.js) - consider Phase 2 enhancement
+4. **Safari PiP**: Has different API than Chrome/Firefox
+5. **Fullscreen**: Different browsers have different fullscreen APIs - use unified helper
+
+---
+
+## Future Enhancements (Out of Scope)
+
+- HLS/DASH streaming support via hls.js
+- Video filters/effects
+- Multiple audio tracks
+- Chapter markers
+- Thumbnail preview on seek (sprite sheet)
+- Analytics integration
+- DRM support

+# User Location Node Specification
+
+## Overview
+
+The **User Location** node provides user geolocation functionality with multiple precision levels and fallback strategies. It handles the browser Geolocation API, manages permissions gracefully, and provides clear status reporting for different location acquisition methods.
+
+This is a **logic node** (non-visual) that responds to signal triggers and outputs location data with comprehensive error handling and status reporting.
+
+## Use Cases
+
+- **Location-aware features**: Show nearby stores, events, or services
+- **Personalization**: Adapt content based on user's region
+- **Analytics**: Track geographic usage patterns (with user consent)
+- **Shipping/delivery**: Pre-fill location fields in forms
+- **Weather apps**: Get local weather based on position
+- **Progressive enhancement**: Start with coarse location, refine to precise GPS when available
+
+## Technical Foundation
+
+### Browser Geolocation API
+- **Primary method**: `navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition()`
+- **Permissions**: Requires user consent (browser prompt)
+- **Accuracy**: GPS on mobile (~5-10m), WiFi/IP on desktop (~100-1000m)
+- **Browser support**: Universal (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
+- **HTTPS requirement**: Geolocation API requires secure context
+
+### IP-based Fallback
+- **Service**: ipapi.co free tier (no API key required for basic usage)
+- **Accuracy**: City-level (~10-50km radius)
+- **Privacy**: Does not require user permission
+- **Limits**: 1,000 requests/day on free tier
+- **Fallback strategy**: Used when GPS unavailable or permission denied
+
+## Node Interface
+
+### Category & Metadata
+```javascript
+{
+  name: 'User Location',
+  category: 'Data',
+  color: 'data',
+  docs: 'https://docs.noodl.net/nodes/data/user-location',
+  searchTags: ['geolocation', 'gps', 'position', 'coordinates', 'location'],
+  displayName: 'User Location'
+}
+```
+
+### Signal Inputs
+
+#### `Get Location`
+Triggers location acquisition based on current accuracy mode setting.
+
+**Behavior:**
+- Checks if geolocation is supported
+- Requests appropriate permission level
+- Executes location query
+- Sends appropriate output signal when complete
+
+#### `Cancel`
+Aborts an in-progress location request.
+
+**Behavior:**
+- Clears any pending geolocation watchPosition
+- Aborts any in-flight IP geolocation requests
+- Sends `Canceled` signal
+- Resets internal state
+
+### Parameters
+
+#### `Accuracy Mode`
+**Type:** Enum (dropdown)  
+**Default:** `"precise"`  
+**Options:**
+- `"precise"` - High accuracy GPS (mobile: ~5-10m, desktop: ~100m)
+- `"coarse"` - Lower accuracy, faster, better battery (mobile: ~100m-1km)
+- `"city"` - IP-based location, no permission required (~10-50km)
+
+**Details:**
+- **Precise**: Uses `enableHighAccuracy: true`, ideal for navigation/directions
+- **Coarse**: Uses `enableHighAccuracy: false`, better for "nearby" features
+- **City**: Uses IP geolocation service, for region-level personalization
+
+#### `Timeout`
+**Type:** Number  
+**Default:** `10000` (10 seconds)  
+**Unit:** Milliseconds  
+**Range:** 1000-60000
+
+Specifies how long to wait for location before timing out.
+
+#### `Cache Age`
+**Type:** Number  
+**Default:** `60000` (1 minute)  
+**Unit:** Milliseconds  
+**Range:** 0-3600000
+
+Maximum age of a cached position. Setting to `0` forces a fresh location.
+
+#### `Auto Request`
+**Type:** Boolean  
+**Default:** `false`
+
+If `true`, automatically requests location when node initializes (useful for apps that always need location).
+
+**Warning:** Requesting location on load can be jarring to users. Best practice is to request only when needed.
+
+### Data Outputs

+- Service unavailable
+
+## State Management
+
+The node maintains internal state to track:
+
+```javascript
+this._internal = {
+  watchId: null,              // Active geolocation watch ID
+  abortController: null,      // For canceling IP requests
+  pendingRequest: false,      // Is request in progress?
+  lastPosition: null,         // Cached position data
+  lastError: null,            // Last error encountered
+  permissionState: 'prompt'   // 'granted', 'denied', 'prompt'
+}
+```

+1. **Check permission state** (if Permissions API available)
+2. **Request location** based on accuracy mode
+3. **Handle response** with appropriate success/error signal
+4. **Cache result** for subsequent requests within cache window
+
+### Geolocation Options
+
+```javascript
+// For "precise" mode
+{
+  enableHighAccuracy: true,
+  timeout: this._internal.timeout,
+  maximumAge: this._internal.cacheAge
+}
+
+// For "coarse" mode
+{
+  enableHighAccuracy: false,
+  timeout: this._internal.timeout,
+  maximumAge: this._internal.cacheAge
+}
+```
+
+### IP Geolocation Implementation
+
+```javascript
+async function getIPLocation() {
+  const controller = new AbortController();
+  this._internal.abortController = controller;
+  
+  try {
+    const response = await fetch('https://ipapi.co/json/', {
+      signal: controller.signal
+    });
+    
+    if (!response.ok) {
+      throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}`);
+    }
+    
+    const data = await response.json();
+    
+    // Populate outputs
+    this.setOutputs({
+      latitude: data.latitude,
+      longitude: data.longitude,
+      accuracy: 50000, // ~50km city-level accuracy
+      city: data.city,
+      region: data.region,
+      country: data.country_name,
+      countryCode: data.country_code,
+      postalCode: data.postal,
+      timestamp: Date.now()
+    });
+    
+    this.sendSignalOnOutput('success');
+    
+  } catch (error) {
+    if (error.name === 'AbortError') {
+      this.sendSignalOnOutput('canceled');
+    } else {
+      this._internal.lastError = error.message;
+      this.flagOutputDirty('errorMessage');
+      this.sendSignalOnOutput('networkError');
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Error Mapping
+
+```javascript
+function handleGeolocationError(error) {
+  this._internal.lastError = error;
+  this.setOutputValue('errorCode', error.code);
+  
+  switch(error.code) {
+    case 1: // PERMISSION_DENIED
+      this.setOutputValue('errorMessage', 'User denied geolocation permission');
+      this.sendSignalOnOutput('permissionDenied');
+      break;
+      
+    case 2: // POSITION_UNAVAILABLE
+      this.setOutputValue('errorMessage', 'Position unavailable');
+      this.sendSignalOnOutput('positionUnavailable');
+      break;
+      
+    case 3: // TIMEOUT
+      this.setOutputValue('errorMessage', 'Location request timed out');
+      this.sendSignalOnOutput('timeout');
+      break;
+      
+    default:
+      this.setOutputValue('errorMessage', 'Unknown error occurred');
+      this.sendSignalOnOutput('positionUnavailable');
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Security & Privacy Considerations
+
+### User Privacy
+- **Explicit permission**: Always require user consent for GPS (precise/coarse)
+- **Clear purpose**: Document why location is needed in app UI
+- **Minimal data**: Only request accuracy level needed for feature
+- **No storage**: Don't store location unless explicitly needed
+- **User control**: Provide easy way to revoke/change location settings
+
+### HTTPS Requirement
+- Geolocation API **requires HTTPS** in modern browsers
+- Will fail silently or throw error on HTTP pages
+- Development exception: `localhost` works over HTTP
+
+### Rate Limiting
+- IP geolocation service has 1,000 requests/day limit (free tier)
+- Implement smart caching to reduce API calls
+- Consider upgrading to paid tier for high-traffic apps
+
+### Permission Persistence
+- Browser remembers user's permission choice
+- Can be revoked at any time in browser settings
+- Node should gracefully handle permission changes
+
+## User Experience Guidelines
+
+### When to Request Location
+
+**✅ DO:**
+- Request when user triggers location-dependent feature
+- Explain why location is needed before requesting
+- Provide fallback for users who decline
+
+**❌ DON'T:**
+- Request on page load without context
+- Re-prompt immediately after denial
+- Block functionality if permission denied
+
+### Error Handling UX
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  Permission Denied                   │
+├─────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  We need your location to show      │
+│  nearby stores. You can enable it   │
+│  in your browser settings.          │
+│                                      │
+│  [Enter Location Manually]          │
+└─────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+### Progressive Enhancement
+
+1. **Start coarse**: Request city-level (no permission)
+2. **Offer precise**: "Show exact location" button
+3. **Graceful degradation**: Manual entry fallback
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+```javascript
+describe('User Location Node', () => {
+  it('should request high accuracy location in precise mode', () => {
+    // Mock navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition
+    // Verify enableHighAccuracy: true
+  });
+  
+  it('should timeout after configured duration', () => {
+    // Set timeout to 1000ms
+    // Mock delayed response
+    // Verify timeout signal fires
+  });
+  
+  it('should use cached location within cache age', () => {
+    // Get location once
+    // Get location again within cache window
+    // Verify no new geolocation call made
+  });
+  
+  it('should fall back to IP location in city mode', () => {
+    // Set mode to 'city'
+    // Trigger get location
+    // Verify fetch called to ipapi.co
+  });
+  
+  it('should handle permission denial gracefully', () => {
+    // Mock permission denied error
+    // Verify permissionDenied signal fires
+    // Verify error message set
+  });
+  
+  it('should cancel in-progress requests', () => {
+    // Start location request
+    // Trigger cancel
+    // Verify canceled signal fires
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+- Test on actual devices (mobile + desktop)
+- Test with/without GPS enabled
+- Test with permission granted/denied/prompt states
+- Test network failures for IP geolocation
+- Test timeout behavior with slow networks
+- Test HTTPS requirement enforcement
+
+### Browser Compatibility Tests
+
+| Browser | Version | Notes |
+|---------|---------|-------|
+| Chrome | 90+ | Full support |
+| Firefox | 88+ | Full support |
+| Safari | 14+ | Full support, may prompt per session |
+| Edge | 90+ | Full support |
+| Mobile Safari | iOS 14+ | High accuracy works well |
+| Mobile Chrome | Android 10+ | High accuracy works well |
+
+## Example Usage Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Simple Location Request
+
+```
+[Button] → Click Signal
+  ↓
+[User Location] → Get Location
+  ↓
+Success → [Text] "Your location: {Latitude}, {Longitude}"
+Permission Denied → [Text] "Please enable location access"
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Progressive Enhancement
+
+```
+[User Location] (mode: city)
+  ↓
+Success → [Text] "Shopping near {City}"
+  ↓
+[Button] "Show exact location"
+  ↓
+[User Location] (mode: precise) → Get Location
+  ↓
+Success → Update map with precise position
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Error Recovery Chain
+
+```
+[User Location] (mode: precise)
+  ↓
+Permission Denied OR Timeout
+  ↓
+[User Location] (mode: city) → Get Location
+  ↓
+Success → Use coarse location
+Network Error → [Text] "Enter location manually"
+```
+
+### Pattern 4: Map Integration
+
+```
+[User Location]
+  ↓
+Success → [Object] Store lat/lng
+  ↓
+[Function] Call map API
+  ↓
+[HTML Element] Display map with user marker
+```

+# TASK-006 Changelog
+
+## Overview
+
+This file tracks all changes made during TASK-006: Fix Custom Font Loading in Editor Preview.
+
+**Problem**: Custom fonts don't load in editor preview due to dev server not serving project directory assets.
+
+**Solution**: (To be documented as implementation progresses)
+
+---
+
+## Changes
+
+### [December 15, 2024] - Session 1 - Cline AI Assistant
+
+**Summary**: Fixed custom font loading in editor preview by adding missing MIME types to web server configuration. The issue was simpler than expected - the server was already serving project files, but was missing MIME type mappings for modern font formats.
+
+**Files Modified**:
+- `packages/noodl-editor/src/main/src/web-server.js` - Added MIME type mappings for all font formats and fixed audio fallthrough bug
+  - Added `.otf` → `font/otf`
+  - Added `.woff` → `font/woff`
+  - Added `.woff2` → `font/woff2`
+  - Fixed `.wav` case missing `break;` statement (was falling through to `.mp4`)
+
+**Testing Notes**:
+- New projects: Fonts load correctly ✅
+- Legacy projects: Fonts still failing (needs investigation)
+
+---
+
+### [December 15, 2024] - Session 2 - Cline AI Assistant
+
+**Summary**: Added font fallback mechanism to handle legacy projects that may store font paths differently. The issue was that legacy projects might store fontFamily as just the filename (e.g., `Inter-Regular.ttf`) while new projects store the full relative path (e.g., `fonts/Inter-Regular.ttf`).
+
+**Files Modified**:
+- `packages/noodl-editor/src/main/src/web-server.js` - Added font fallback path resolution
+  - When a font file isn't found at the requested path, the server now searches common locations:
+    1. `/fonts{originalPath}` - prepend fonts folder
+    2. `/fonts/{filename}` - fonts folder + just filename
+    3. `/{filename}` - project root level
+    4. `/assets/fonts/{filename}` - assets/fonts folder
+  - Added console logging for fallback resolution debugging
+  - Fixed ESLint unused variable error in `server.on('listening')` callback
+
+**Technical Details**:
+- Font path resolution flow:
+  1. First tries exact path: `projectDirectory + requestPath`
+  2. If not found and it's a font file (.ttf, .otf, .woff, .woff2), tries fallback locations
+  3. Logs successful fallback resolutions to console for debugging
+  4. Returns 404 only if all fallback paths fail
+
+**Breaking Changes**:
+- None - this enhancement only adds fallback behavior when files aren't found
+
+**Testing Notes**:
+- Requires rebuild and restart of editor
+- Check console for "Font fallback:" messages to verify mechanism is working
+- Test with legacy projects that have fonts in various locations

+# TASK-006 Working Notes
+
+## Research
+
+### Development Server Architecture
+
+**Question**: Where is `localhost:8574` configured and what serves it?
+
+**Findings**:
+- ✅ Located: `packages/noodl-editor/src/main/src/web-server.js`
+- Port 8574 defined in config files: `src/shared/config/config-dev.js`, `config-dist.js`, `config-test.js`
+- Server type: **Node.js HTTP/HTTPS server** (not webpack-dev-server)
+- Main process at `packages/noodl-editor/src/main/main.js` starts the server with `startServer()`
+
+**Dev Server Type**:
+- [ ] webpack-dev-server
+- [ ] Electron static file handler
+- [ ] Express server
+- [x] Other: **Node.js HTTP Server (custom)**
+
+### Project Path Management
+
+**Question**: How does the editor track which project is currently open?
+
+**Findings**:
+- ✅ Project path accessed via `projectGetInfo()` callback in main process
+- Located at: `packages/noodl-editor/src/main/main.js`
+- Path retrieved from renderer process via IPC: `makeEditorAPIRequest('projectGetInfo', undefined, callback)`
+- Updated automatically on each request - no caching needed
+- Always returns current project directory
+
+### Current Asset Handling
+
+**What Works**:
+- Fonts load correctly in deployed apps
+- Font loader logic is sound (`fontloader.js`)
+- @font-face CSS generation works
+
+**What Doesn't Work**:
+- Preview cannot access project directory files
+- `http://localhost:8574/fonts/file.ttf` → 404
+- Browser receives HTML error page instead of font binary
+
+### Existing Patterns Found
+
+**Similar Asset Serving**:
+- (Search codebase for similar patterns)
+- Check how viewer bundles are served
+- Check how static assets are currently handled
+
+---
+
+## Architecture Decisions
+
+### Approach Selection
+
+**Option A: Static Middleware**
+- Pros: 
+- Cons: 
+- Feasibility: ⭐⭐⭐ (1-5 stars)
+
+**Option B: Custom Protocol**
+- Pros: 
+- Cons: 
+- Feasibility: ⭐⭐⭐ (1-5 stars)
+
+**Option C: Copy to Temp**
+- Pros: 
+- Cons: 
+- Feasibility: ⭐⭐⭐ (1-5 stars)
+
+**Decision**: Going with Option ___ because:
+- Reason 1
+- Reason 2
+- Reason 3
+
+### Implementation Details
+
+**Path Resolution Strategy**:
+```
+Request: http://localhost:8574/fonts/Inter-Regular.ttf
+↓
+Extract: /fonts/Inter-Regular.ttf
+↓
+Combine: currentProjectPath + /fonts/Inter-Regular.ttf
+↓
+Serve: /absolute/path/to/project/fonts/Inter-Regular.ttf
+```
+
+**Security Measures**:
+- Path sanitization method: ...
+- Directory traversal prevention: ...
+- Allowed file types: fonts, images, (others?)
+- Blocked paths: ...
+
+**MIME Type Configuration**:
+```javascript
+const mimeTypes = {
+  '.ttf': 'font/ttf',
+  '.otf': 'font/otf',
+  '.woff': 'font/woff',
+  '.woff2': 'font/woff2',
+  '.png': 'image/png',
+  '.jpg': 'image/jpeg',
+  '.svg': 'image/svg+xml'
+};
+```

+```
+
+### Console After Fix
+
+**Important**: The fix requires restarting the dev server!
+
+Steps to test:
+1. Stop current `npm run dev` with Ctrl+C
+2. Run `npm run dev` again to recompile with new code
+3. Open a project with custom fonts
+4. Check console - should see NO 404 errors or OTS parsing errors
+
+**First Test Results** (Dev server not restarted):
+- Still seeing 404 errors - this is EXPECTED
+- Old compiled code still running in Electron
+- Changes in source files don't apply until recompilation
+
+**After Restart** (To be documented):
+- Fonts should load successfully
+- No 404 errors
+- No "OTS parsing error" messages

+# TASK-006: Fix Custom Font Loading in Editor Preview
+
+## Metadata
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| **ID** | TASK-006 |
+| **Phase** | Phase 2 |
+| **Priority** | 🟠 High |
+| **Difficulty** | 🟡 Medium |
+| **Estimated Time** | 4-6 hours |
+| **Prerequisites** | None |
+| **Branch** | `fix/preview-font-loading` |
+
+## Objective
+
+Enable custom fonts (TTF, OTF, WOFF, etc.) to load correctly in the editor preview window by configuring the development server to serve project directory assets.
+
+## Background
+
+OpenNoodl allows users to add custom fonts to their projects via the Assets panel. These fonts are stored in the project directory (e.g., `fonts/Inter-Regular.ttf`) and loaded at runtime using `@font-face` declarations and the WebFontLoader library.
+
+This works correctly in deployed applications, but **fails completely in the editor preview** due to an architectural limitation: the preview loads from `http://localhost:8574` (the development server), but this server doesn't serve files from project directories. When the font loader attempts to load fonts, it gets 404 errors, causing fonts to fall back to system defaults.
+
+This was discovered during React 18/19 testing and affects **all projects** (not just migrated ones). Users see console errors and fonts don't render as designed in the preview.
+
+## Current State
+
+### How Font Loading Works
+
+1. **Asset Registration**: Users add font files via Assets panel → stored in `project/fonts/`
+2. **Font Node Configuration**: Text nodes reference fonts by name
+3. **Runtime Loading**: `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/fontloader.js` generates `@font-face` CSS rules
+4. **URL Construction**: Font URLs are built as `Noodl.Env["BaseUrl"] + fontPath`
+   - In preview: `http://localhost:8574/fonts/Inter-Regular.ttf`
+   - In deployed: `https://myapp.com/fonts/Inter-Regular.ttf`
+
+### The Problem
+
+**Preview Setup**:
+- Preview webview loads from: `http://localhost:8574`
+- Development server serves: Editor bundles and viewer runtime files
+- Development server **does NOT serve**: Project directory contents
+
+**Result**:
+```
+GET http://localhost:8574/fonts/Inter-Regular.ttf → 404 Not Found
+Browser receives HTML error page instead of font file
+Console error: "OTS parsing error: GDEF: misaligned table" (HTML parsed as font)
+Font falls back to system default
+```
+
+### Console Errors Observed
+
+```
+Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
+http://localhost:8574/fonts/Inter-Regular.ttf
+
+OTS parsing error: GDEF: misaligned table
+```
+
+### Files Involved
+
+| File | Role |
+|------|------|
+| `packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/fontloader.js` | Font loading logic (✅ working correctly) |
+| `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/VisualCanvas/CanvasView.ts` | Sets up preview webview |
+| `packages/noodl-editor/webpackconfigs/webpack.renderer.dev.js` | Dev server configuration |
+| Development server (webpack-dev-server or equivalent) | Needs to serve project assets |
+
+## Desired State
+
+Custom fonts load correctly in the editor preview with no 404 errors:
+
+1. Development server serves project directory assets
+2. Font requests succeed: `GET http://localhost:8574/fonts/Inter-Regular.ttf → 200 OK`
+3. Fonts render correctly in preview
+4. No console errors related to font loading
+
+## Scope
+
+### In Scope
+- [ ] Configure development server to serve project directory files
+- [ ] Test font loading with TTF, OTF, WOFF, WOFF2 formats
+- [ ] Verify images and other project assets also work
+- [ ] Handle project switching (different project directories)
+- [ ] Document the asset serving mechanism
+
+### Out of Scope
+- Font loading in deployed applications (already works)
+- Font management UI improvements
+- Font optimization or conversion
+- Fallback font improvements
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### Investigation Required
+
+1. **Identify the Development Server**
+   - Locate where `localhost:8574` server is configured
+   - Determine if it's webpack-dev-server, Electron's static server, or custom
+   - Check `packages/noodl-editor/webpackconfigs/webpack.renderer.dev.js`
+
+2. **Understand Project Path Management**
+   - How does the editor know which project is currently open?
+   - Where is the project path stored/accessible?
+   - How does this update when switching projects?
+
+3. **Research Asset Serving Strategies**
+
+### Possible Approaches
+
+#### Option A: Static Middleware (Preferred)
+Add webpack-dev-server middleware or Electron protocol handler to serve project directories:
+
+```javascript
+// Pseudocode
+devServer: {
+  setupMiddlewares: (middlewares, devServer) => {
+    middlewares.unshift({
+      name: 'project-assets',
+      path: '/',
+      middleware: (req, res, next) => {
+        if (req.url.startsWith('/fonts/') || req.url.startsWith('/images/')) {
+          const projectPath = getCurrentProjectPath();
+          const filePath = path.join(projectPath, req.url);
+          if (fs.existsSync(filePath)) {
+            return res.sendFile(filePath);
+          }
+        }
+        next();
+      }
+    });
+    return middlewares;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Pros**: Clean, secure, standard web dev pattern
+**Cons**: Requires project path awareness in dev server
+
+#### Option B: Custom Electron Protocol
+Register a custom protocol (e.g., `noodl-project://`) to serve project files:
+
+```javascript
+protocol.registerFileProtocol('noodl-project', (request, callback) => {
+  const url = request.url.replace('noodl-project://', '');
+  const projectPath = getCurrentProjectPath();
+  const filePath = path.join(projectPath, url);
+  callback({ path: filePath });
+});
+```
+
+**Pros**: Electron-native, works outside dev server
+**Cons**: Requires changes to fontloader URL construction
+
+#### Option C: Copy Assets to Served Directory
+Copy project assets to a temporary directory that the dev server serves:
+
+**Pros**: Simple, no server changes needed
+**Cons**: File sync complexity, disk I/O overhead, changes required on project switch
+
+### Recommended Approach
+
+**Start with Option A** (Static Middleware) because:
+- Most maintainable long-term
+- Standard webpack pattern
+- Works for all asset types (fonts, images, etc.)
+- No changes to viewer runtime code
+
+If Option A proves difficult due to project path management, fallback to Option B.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+### Step 1: Locate and Understand Dev Server Setup
+- Find where `localhost:8574` is configured
+- Review `packages/noodl-editor/src/main/` for Electron main process
+- Check webpack dev configs in `packages/noodl-editor/webpackconfigs/`
+- Identify how viewer is bundled and served
+
+### Step 2: Add Project Path Management
+- Find how current project path is tracked (likely in `ProjectModel`)
+- Ensure main process has access to current project path
+- Set up IPC communication if needed (renderer → main process)
+
+### Step 3: Implement Asset Serving
+- Add middleware/protocol handler for project assets
+- Configure MIME types for fonts (.ttf, .otf, .woff, .woff2)
+- Add security checks (prevent directory traversal)
+- Handle project switching (update served path)
+
+### Step 4: Test Asset Loading
+- Create test project with custom fonts
+- Verify fonts load in preview
+- Test project switching
+- Test with different font formats
+- Test images and other assets
+
+### Step 5: Error Handling
+- Handle missing files gracefully (404, not HTML error page)
+- Log helpful errors for debugging
+- Ensure no security vulnerabilities
+
+## Testing Plan
+
+### Manual Testing Scenarios
+
+#### Scenario 1: Custom Font in New Project
+1. Create new React 19 project
+2. Add custom font via Assets panel (e.g., Inter-Regular.ttf)
+3. Create Text node, assign custom font
+4. Open preview
+5. ✅ Font should render correctly
+6. ✅ No console errors
+
+#### Scenario 2: Project with Multiple Fonts
+1. Open test project with multiple font files
+2. Text nodes using different fonts
+3. Open preview
+4. ✅ All fonts render correctly
+5. ✅ No 404 errors in console
+
+#### Scenario 3: Project Switching
+1. Open Project A with Font X
+2. Verify Font X loads in preview
+3. Close project, open Project B with Font Y
+4. ✅ Font Y loads (not Font X)
+5. ✅ No stale asset serving
+
+#### Scenario 4: Missing Font File
+1. Project references font that doesn't exist
+2. Open preview
+3. ✅ Graceful fallback to system font
+4. ✅ Clear error message (not HTML 404 page)
+
+#### Scenario 5: Different Font Formats
+Test with:
+- [x] .ttf (TrueType)
+- [ ] .otf (OpenType)
+- [ ] .woff (Web Open Font Format)
+- [ ] .woff2 (Web Open Font Format 2)
+
+#### Scenario 6: Other Assets
+Verify images also load correctly:
+- [ ] PNG images in preview
+- [ ] SVG images in preview
+
+### Regression Testing
+- [ ] Fonts still work in deployed projects (don't break existing behavior)
+- [ ] Editor performance not degraded
+- [ ] Project loading time not significantly impacted
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Custom fonts load without 404 errors in editor preview
+- [ ] Console shows no "OTS parsing error" messages
+- [ ] Fonts render correctly in preview (match design)
+- [ ] Works for all common font formats (TTF, OTF, WOFF, WOFF2)
+- [ ] Project switching updates served assets correctly
+- [ ] No security vulnerabilities (directory traversal, etc.)
+- [ ] Documentation updated with asset serving architecture
+- [ ] Changes documented in CHANGELOG.md
+
+## Risks & Mitigations
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| **Security**: Directory traversal attacks | Implement path sanitization, restrict to project dir only |
+| **Performance**: Asset serving slows editor | Use efficient file serving, consider caching |
+| **Complexity**: Project path management is difficult | Start with simpler Option B (custom protocol) if needed |
+| **Breaks deployed apps**: Changes affect production | Only modify dev server, not viewer runtime |
+| **Cross-platform**: Path handling differs on Windows/Mac/Linux | Use `path.join()`, test on multiple platforms |
+
+## Rollback Plan
+
+All changes should be isolated to development server configuration. If issues arise:
+
+1. Revert webpack config changes
+2. Revert any protocol handler registration
+3. Editor continues to work, fonts just won't show in preview (existing behavior)
+4. Deployed apps unaffected

+# Task: Noodl Design System Modernization
+
+## Overview
+
+Comprehensive overhaul of Noodl's visual design system to create a modern, clean, professional appearance. Moving from the dated 2015-era dark gray aesthetic to a contemporary design language inspired by tools like Linear, Raycast, and Figma.
+
+**Primary Goals:**
+- Clean, modern color palette (Rose + Violet with Zinc neutrals)
+- Consistent token usage throughout the codebase
+- Foundation for future light/dark theme switching
+- Better visual hierarchy and spacing
+- Improved component aesthetics
+
+**Brand Direction:**
+- Primary: Rose (`#f43f5e`) - Modern, bold, distinctive
+- Secondary: Violet (`#a78bfa`) - Complementary, contemporary
+- Neutrals: Zinc palette (clean grays, no brown/warm tints)
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Token Consolidation & Color Refresh
+
+**Priority: CRITICAL**
+**Effort: 1-2 hours**
+**Risk: Low**
+
+### Problem
+
+The editor has duplicate color token files. The core-ui tokens are commented out and the editor uses its own copy:
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/index.ts
+//Design tokens for later
+// import '../../../noodl-core-ui/src/styles/custom-properties/animations.css';
+// import '../../../noodl-core-ui/src/styles/custom-properties/fonts.css';
+// import '../../../noodl-core-ui/src/styles/custom-properties/colors.css';
+import '../editor/src/styles/custom-properties/animations.css';
+import '../editor/src/styles/custom-properties/fonts.css';
+import '../editor/src/styles/custom-properties/colors.css';
+```
+
+### Tasks
+
+#### 1.1 Consolidate to Single Source of Truth
+
+1. Replace the contents of `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/styles/custom-properties/colors.css` with the new modern palette (see Appendix A)
+
+2. Also update `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/styles/custom-properties/colors.css` with the same content
+
+3. Verify the viewer frame also uses the correct colors:
+   - Check `packages/noodl-editor/src/frames/viewer-frame/index.js`
+
+#### 1.2 Verify Token Application
+
+After replacing, verify these key tokens are working:
+
+| Token | Expected Value | Where to Check |
+|-------|---------------|----------------|
+| `--theme-color-bg-1` | `#09090b` (near black) | Main app background |
+| `--theme-color-bg-2` | `#18181b` | Panel backgrounds |
+| `--theme-color-bg-3` | `#27272a` | Card/input backgrounds |
+| `--theme-color-primary` | `#f43f5e` (rose) | CTA buttons |
+| `--theme-color-secondary` | `#a78bfa` (violet) | Secondary elements |
+
+### Testing Checklist
+
+- [ ] App background is clean dark (not brownish)
+- [ ] Primary buttons are rose colored
+- [ ] Text is readable with good contrast
+- [ ] Node colors on canvas still distinguishable
+- [ ] Success/error/warning states still visible
+- [ ] No console errors related to missing CSS variables
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Hardcoded Color Audit & Cleanup
+
+**Priority: HIGH**
+**Effort: 3-4 hours**
+**Risk: Low-Medium**
+
+### Problem
+
+Many components have hardcoded hex colors instead of using design tokens. This breaks consistency and prevents theming.
+
+### Tasks
+
+#### 2.1 Find All Hardcoded Colors
+
+Search the codebase for hardcoded hex colors in these locations:
+
+```
+packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/styles/
+packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/
+packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/
+```
+
+Common patterns to find:
+```css
+/* Bad - hardcoded */
+background-color: #383838;
+background: #444444;
+border: 1px solid #2a2a2a;
+color: #b9b9b9;
+
+/* Good - tokenized */
+background-color: var(--theme-color-bg-3);
+```
+
+#### 2.2 Create Mapping Reference
+
+Map discovered hardcoded colors to appropriate tokens:
+
+| Hardcoded | Replace With |
+|-----------|--------------|
+| `#000000` | `var(--theme-color-bg-0)` |
+| `#151414`, `#151515` | `var(--theme-color-bg-1)` |
+| `#292828`, `#2a2a2a` | `var(--theme-color-bg-2)` |
+| `#383838`, `#3c3c3c` | `var(--theme-color-bg-3)` |
+| `#444444`, `#4a4a4a` | `var(--theme-color-bg-4)` |
+| `#666666`, `#6a6a6a` | `var(--theme-color-fg-muted)` |
+| `#999999`, `#9a9a9a` | `var(--theme-color-fg-default-shy)` |
+| `#b8b8b8`, `#b9b9b9` | `var(--theme-color-fg-default)` |
+| `#d4d4d4` | `var(--theme-color-fg-default-contrast)` |
+| `#f5f5f5`, `#ffffff` | `var(--theme-color-fg-highlight)` |
+
+#### 2.3 Priority Files to Fix
+
+Start with these high-impact files:
+
+1. **Popup Layer Styles**
+   - `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/styles/popuplayer.css`
+   
+2. **Property Editor**
+   - `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/styles/propertyeditor.css`
+   
+3. **Node Graph Editor**
+   - `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/nodegrapheditor/` (all .css/.scss files)
+
+4. **Inspect Popup**
+   - `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/nodegrapheditor/InspectJSONView/InspectPopup.module.scss`
+
+5. **Connection Popup**
+   - `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/ConnectionPopup/ConnectionPopup.module.scss`
+
+### Testing Checklist
+
+- [ ] All replaced colors render correctly
+- [ ] Hover states still work
+- [ ] Focus states visible
+- [ ] No visual regressions in property panel
+- [ ] Popups/modals look correct
+- [ ] Node graph colors unaffected
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: Typography & Spacing Refresh
+
+**Priority: MEDIUM**
+**Effort: 2-3 hours**
+**Risk: Low**
+
+### Problem
+
+Current typography feels cramped and dated. Font sizes are small and spacing is inconsistent.
+
+### Tasks
+
+#### 3.1 Update Font Tokens
+
+File: `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/styles/custom-properties/fonts.css`
+
+```css
+:root {
+  --font-family: 'Inter', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, sans-serif;
+  --font-family-code: 'JetBrains Mono', Menlo, Monaco, 'Courier New', monospace;
+
+  --font-weight-light: 300;
+  --font-weight-regular: 400;
+  --font-weight-medium: 500;
+  --font-weight-semibold: 600;
+  --font-weight-bold: 700;
+
+  /* New: Font size scale */
+  --font-size-xs: 10px;
+  --font-size-sm: 12px;
+  --font-size-base: 13px;
+  --font-size-md: 14px;
+  --font-size-lg: 16px;
+  --font-size-xl: 18px;
+  --font-size-2xl: 24px;
+
+  /* New: Line height scale */
+  --line-height-tight: 1.2;
+  --line-height-normal: 1.5;
+  --line-height-relaxed: 1.625;
+
+  /* New: Letter spacing */
+  --letter-spacing-tight: -0.02em;
+  --letter-spacing-normal: 0;
+  --letter-spacing-wide: 0.02em;
+}
+```
+
+#### 3.2 Add Spacing Tokens
+
+Create new file: `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/styles/custom-properties/spacing.css`
+
+```css
+:root {
+  --spacing-0: 0;
+  --spacing-1: 4px;
+  --spacing-2: 8px;
+  --spacing-3: 12px;
+  --spacing-4: 16px;
+  --spacing-5: 20px;
+  --spacing-6: 24px;
+  --spacing-8: 32px;
+  --spacing-10: 40px;
+  --spacing-12: 48px;
+  --spacing-16: 64px;
+
+  /* Component-specific spacing */
+  --spacing-panel-padding: var(--spacing-4);
+  --spacing-card-padding: var(--spacing-3);
+  --spacing-input-padding-x: var(--spacing-2);
+  --spacing-input-padding-y: var(--spacing-1);
+  --spacing-button-padding-x: var(--spacing-3);
+  --spacing-button-padding-y: var(--spacing-2);
+
+  /* Border radius */
+  --radius-sm: 2px;
+  --radius-default: 4px;
+  --radius-md: 6px;
+  --radius-lg: 8px;
+  --radius-xl: 12px;
+  --radius-full: 9999px;
+}
+```
+
+#### 3.3 Import New Token Files
+
+Update imports in:
+- `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/index.ts`
+- `packages/noodl-core-ui/.storybook/preview.ts`
+
+### Testing Checklist
+
+- [ ] Text is readable at all sizes
+- [ ] Spacing feels balanced
+- [ ] Components don't overflow
+- [ ] Modal/dialog layouts intact
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: Component Visual Updates
+
+**Priority: MEDIUM**
+**Effort: 4-6 hours**
+**Risk: Medium**
+
+### Problem
+
+Individual components need visual refinement beyond just color tokens.
+
+### Tasks
+
+#### 4.1 Button Refinements
+
+File: `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/inputs/PrimaryButton/PrimaryButton.module.scss`
+
+Updates needed:
+- Slightly rounded corners (`border-radius: 6px`)
+- Subtle shadow on hover
+- Better disabled state (not just opacity)
+- Smooth transitions
+
+```scss
+.Root {
+  border-radius: var(--radius-md);
+  transition: all 150ms ease;
+  
+  &.is-variant-cta {
+    box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
+    
+    &:hover {
+      box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15);
+      transform: translateY(-1px);
+    }
+  }
+  
+  &:disabled {
+    opacity: 0.5;
+    cursor: not-allowed;
+    transform: none;
+    box-shadow: none;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### 4.2 Input Field Refinements
+
+File: `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/inputs/TextInput/TextInput.module.scss`
+
+Updates needed:
+- Subtle border (not just background change)
+- Focus ring using new token
+- Better placeholder styling
+
+```scss
+.InputArea {
+  border: 1px solid var(--theme-color-border-subtle);
+  border-radius: var(--radius-default);
+  transition: border-color 150ms ease, box-shadow 150ms ease;
+  
+  &.is-focused {
+    border-color: var(--theme-color-focus-ring);
+    box-shadow: 0 0 0 2px rgba(244, 63, 94, 0.15);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### 4.3 Dialog/Modal Refinements
+
+File: `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/layout/BaseDialog/BaseDialog.module.scss`
+
+Updates needed:
+- Subtle border
+- Refined shadow
+- Better backdrop blur (if supported)
+
+```scss
+.VisibleDialog {
+  border: 1px solid var(--theme-color-border-subtle);
+  border-radius: var(--radius-lg);
+  box-shadow: 
+    0 4px 6px -1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1),
+    0 10px 15px -3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2),
+    0 20px 25px -5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15);
+}
+
+.Root.has-backdrop {
+  backdrop-filter: blur(4px);
+  -webkit-backdrop-filter: blur(4px);
+}
+```
+
+#### 4.4 Panel/Section Refinements
+
+Files:
+- `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/sidebar/BasePanel/`
+- `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/sidebar/Section/`
+
+Updates needed:
+- Consistent padding using spacing tokens
+- Subtle dividers between sections
+- Better header styling
+
+### Testing Checklist
+
+- [ ] Buttons look polished and modern
+- [ ] Inputs have clear focus states
+- [ ] Dialogs/modals feel elevated
+- [ ] Panels have clear visual hierarchy
+- [ ] All interactive states (hover, focus, active, disabled) work
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: Migration Dialog Specific Fixes
+
+**Priority: HIGH** (User-facing feature)
+**Effort: 2-3 hours**
+**Risk: Low**
+
+### Problem
+
+The React 19 migration dialog needs specific attention beyond global token changes.
+
+### Tasks
+
+#### 5.1 Identify Migration Dialog Files
+
+Search for migration-related components:
+```bash
+find . -name "*.tsx" -o -name "*.jsx" | xargs grep -l -i "migrat"
+```
+
+#### 5.2 Dialog Structure Improvements
+
+The migration wizard should have:
+- Clear step indicator (not just numbered text list)
+- Progress visualization
+- Distinct sections with proper spacing
+- Better icon usage
+- Clear primary/secondary actions
+
+#### 5.3 Suggested Component Structure
+
+```tsx
+<DialogContainer>
+  <DialogHeader>
+    <Title>Migrate Project to React 19</Title>
+    <Subtitle>Migration Complete</Subtitle>
+  </DialogHeader>
+  
+  <StepIndicator 
+    steps={['Confirm', 'Scan', 'Report', 'Migrate', 'Complete']}
+    currentStep={4}
+  />
+  
+  <DialogBody>
+    <SuccessBanner>
+      <Icon name="checkmark-circle" />
+      <Text>Your project has been migrated successfully</Text>
+    </SuccessBanner>
+    
+    <StatsCard>
+      <Stat value={62} label="Migrated" status="success" />
+    </StatsCard>
+    
+    <Section title="Project Locations">
+      <LocationItem icon="lock" label="Original" path="..." />
+      <LocationItem icon="folder" label="Migrated" path="..." />
+    </Section>
+    
+    <Section title="What's Next?">
+      <ChecklistItem>Test your app thoroughly</ChecklistItem>
+      <ChecklistItem>Archive or delete original when ready</ChecklistItem>
+    </Section>
+  </DialogBody>
+  
+  <DialogFooter>
+    <PrimaryButton label="Open Migrated Project" />
+  </DialogFooter>
+</DialogContainer>
+```
+

+## Phase 6: Light Theme Foundation
+
+**Priority: LOW** (Future enhancement)
+**Effort: 3-4 hours**
+**Risk: Medium**
+
+### Problem
+
+Currently no infrastructure for theme switching.
+
+### Tasks
+
+#### 6.1 Theme Provider Setup
+
+Create theme context and provider for React components.
+
+#### 6.2 CSS Theme Classes
+
+The colors.css file already includes a commented `.theme-light` block. Uncomment and refine.
+
+#### 6.3 Theme Toggle
+
+Add settings option to switch between light/dark.
+
+#### 6.4 Persist Preference
+
+Store theme preference in localStorage.
+
+### Testing Checklist
+
+- [ ] Theme toggle works
+- [ ] All components respect theme
+- [ ] No hardcoded colors breaking theme
+- [ ] Preference persists across sessions

+# TASK-000A: Token Consolidation & Color Refresh
+
+## Overview
+
+Replace the color token files with the new RED-MINIMAL palette. This is the foundation task - all other style tasks depend on this being completed first.
+
+**Priority:** CRITICAL  
+**Effort:** 30 minutes  
+**Risk:** Low  
+**Dependencies:** None
+
+---
+
+## Objective
+
+Consolidate color definitions to a single source of truth using the RED-MINIMAL palette:
+- **Primary**: Noodl Red (`#d21f3c`)
+- **Secondary**: White (`#ffffff`)  
+- **Neutrals**: Pure black/gray (no color tint)
+
+---
+
+## Files to Modify
+
+### Primary Target
+```
+packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/styles/custom-properties/colors.css
+```
+This is the file actually imported by the editor.
+
+### Secondary Target
+```
+packages/noodl-core-ui/src/styles/custom-properties/colors.css
+```
+Should contain identical content for Storybook and component development.
+
+### Verify These Entry Points
+- `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/index.ts` - Confirm which colors.css is imported
+- `packages/noodl-editor/src/frames/viewer-frame/index.js` - Verify viewer uses same tokens
+- `packages/noodl-core-ui/.storybook/preview.ts` - Verify Storybook imports
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+### Step 1: Backup Current Colors
+Before making changes, note what the current colors look like for visual comparison.
+
+### Step 2: Replace Editor colors.css
+Copy the contents from `dev-docs/tasks/phase-3/TASK-000-styles-overhaul/COLORS-RED-MINIMAL.md` to:
+```
+packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/styles/custom-properties/colors.css
+```
+
+Note: The COLORS-RED-MINIMAL.md file contains CSS in markdown format. Copy the CSS content only.
+
+### Step 3: Update Core UI colors.css
+Copy the same content to:
+```
+packages/noodl-core-ui/src/styles/custom-properties/colors.css
+```
+
+### Step 4: Verify Imports
+Confirm in `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/index.ts`:
+```typescript
+// Should be using the editor's copy (not core-ui)
+import '../editor/src/styles/custom-properties/colors.css';
+```
+
+### Step 5: Build & Test
+```bash
+npm run build:editor
+npm run dev
+```
+
+---
+
+## Key Color Mappings
+
+| Token | Value | Usage |
+|-------|-------|-------|
+| `--theme-color-primary` | `#d21f3c` | Primary buttons, CTAs, focus rings |
+| `--theme-color-secondary` | `#ffffff` | Secondary actions |
+| `--theme-color-bg-1` | `#0a0a0a` | Main app background |
+| `--theme-color-bg-2` | `#121212` | Panel backgrounds |
+| `--theme-color-bg-3` | `#1a1a1a` | Card/input backgrounds |
+| `--theme-color-fg-default` | `#d4d4d4` | Default text color |
+| `--theme-color-fg-muted` | `#737373` | Secondary text |
+
+---
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+- [ ] App compiles without errors
+- [ ] App background is pure dark (not brownish/warm)
+- [ ] Primary buttons show red color (`#d21f3c`)
+- [ ] Text is readable with good contrast
+- [ ] Node colors on canvas still distinguishable
+- [ ] Success states show green
+- [ ] Error states show red
+- [ ] No console errors about missing CSS variables
+- [ ] Storybook still works
+
+---
+
+## Expected Visual Changes
+
+After applying:
+- **Backgrounds**: Will shift from warm/brownish grays to pure neutral blacks
+- **Primary Color**: Yellow/teal accent → Red accent
+- **Secondary Color**: Teal → White/neutral
+- **Overall Feel**: Cleaner, more modern, higher contrast
+
+---
+
+## Rollback Plan
+
+If something breaks, the original color file can be restored from git:
+```bash
+git checkout HEAD -- packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/styles/custom-properties/colors.css
+git checkout HEAD -- packages/noodl-core-ui/src/styles/custom-properties/colors.css
+```
+
+---
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Both color files contain identical RED-MINIMAL palette
+- [ ] Editor runs without visual regressions
+- [ ] All existing functionality unchanged
+- [ ] Ready for hardcoded color audit (next tasks)

+# TASK-000B: Hardcoded Color Audit - Legacy Styles
+
+## Overview
+
+Find and replace all hardcoded hex colors in the legacy styles directory. This eliminates inconsistencies and ensures all colors can be changed via design tokens.
+
+**Priority:** HIGH  
+**Effort:** 1-2 hours  
+**Risk:** Low-Medium  
+**Dependencies:** TASK-000A (Token Consolidation)
+
+---
+
+## Objective
+
+Replace all hardcoded hex color values with CSS variable references in the legacy styles directory, ensuring centralized color control.
+
+---
+
+## Target Directory
+
+```
+packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/styles/
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 1: Find All Hardcoded Colors
+
+Run this search to identify all hardcoded hex colors:
+
+```bash
+# Find all hex colors in CSS/SCSS files
+grep -rn "#[0-9a-fA-F]\{3,8\}" packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/styles/ --include="*.css" --include="*.scss"
+```
+
+Or use VSCode search with regex:
+```
+#[0-9a-fA-F]{3,8}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 2: Color Mapping Reference
+
+Use this mapping to convert hardcoded colors to tokens:
+
+### Background Colors
+| Hardcoded | Token | Notes |
+|-----------|-------|-------|
+| `#000000`, `#000` | `var(--theme-color-bg-0)` | Pure black |
+| `#0a0a0a`, `#0d0d0d`, `#111`, `#111111` | `var(--theme-color-bg-1)` | Near black |
+| `#121212`, `#151515`, `#141414` | `var(--theme-color-bg-2)` | Dark panels |
+| `#1a1a1a`, `#191919`, `#1c1c1c` | `var(--theme-color-bg-3)` | Elevated panels |
+| `#262626`, `#252525`, `#282828` | `var(--theme-color-bg-4)` | Cards |
+| `#333333`, `#303030`, `#363636` | `var(--theme-color-bg-5)` | Highest elevation |
+
+### Text/Foreground Colors
+| Hardcoded | Token | Notes |
+|-----------|-------|-------|
+| `#ffffff`, `#fff` | `var(--theme-color-fg-highlight)` | Bright white |
+| `#e5e5e5`, `#eaeaea`, `#eeeeee` | `var(--theme-color-fg-default-contrast)` | High contrast text |
+| `#d4d4d4`, `#cccccc`, `#c8c8c8` | `var(--theme-color-fg-default)` | Default text |
+| `#a3a3a3`, `#aaaaaa`, `#9e9e9e` | `var(--theme-color-fg-default-shy)` | Secondary text |
+| `#737373`, `#666666`, `#707070` | `var(--theme-color-fg-muted)` | Muted/disabled text |
+
+### Border Colors
+| Hardcoded | Token | Notes |
+|-----------|-------|-------|
+| `#262626`, `#2a2a2a` | `var(--theme-color-border-subtle)` | Subtle borders |
+| `#333333`, `#363636` | `var(--theme-color-border-default)` | Default borders |
+| `#444444`, `#4a4a4a` | `var(--theme-color-border-strong)` | Strong borders |
+
+### Accent Colors
+| Hardcoded | Token | Notes |
+|-----------|-------|-------|
+| `#d21f3c`, `#e11d48`, `#dc2626` | `var(--theme-color-primary)` | Primary red |
+| Any teal/cyan colors | `var(--theme-color-secondary)` | Now white |
+
+### Status Colors
+| Hardcoded | Token | Notes |
+|-----------|-------|-------|
+| `#10b981`, `#22c55e` (green) | `var(--theme-color-success)` | Success |
+| `#ef4444`, `#dc2626` (red) | `var(--theme-color-danger)` | Danger/Error |
+| `#f59e0b`, `#fbbf24` (yellow) | `var(--theme-color-notice)` | Warning |
+
+---
+
+## Step 3: Priority Files to Fix
+
+Process these files in order of importance:
+
+### Critical (High Impact)
+1. **`popuplayer.css`** - All popup/dropdown backgrounds
+2. **`propertyeditor.css`** - Property panel styling
+3. **`common.css`** / `base.css` - Global styles
+
+### Important
+4. **`projectsview.css`** - Dashboard/projects list
+5. **`sidepanel.css`** - Side panel backgrounds
+6. **`menubar.css`** - Top menu styling
+
+### Secondary
+7. All remaining `.css` and `.scss` files in the directory
+
+---
+
+## Step 4: Implementation Pattern
+
+For each hardcoded color found:
+
+```css
+/* BEFORE - Hardcoded */
+.popup {
+  background: #1a1a1a;
+  border: 1px solid #333333;
+  color: #d4d4d4;
+}
+
+/* AFTER - Tokenized */
+.popup {
+  background: var(--theme-color-bg-3);
+  border: 1px solid var(--theme-color-border-default);
+  color: var(--theme-color-fg-default);
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 5: Handle Edge Cases
+
+### Colors Not in Token System
+If you find a color that doesn't map to any token:
+1. Check if it's close enough to an existing token
+2. If unique and necessary, add it to colors.css
+3. Document why the new token was needed
+
+### RGBA Colors
+Convert rgba values too:
+```css
+/* BEFORE */
+background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);
+
+/* AFTER */
+background: var(--base-color-black-transparent-80);
+```
+
+### Gradient Colors
+For gradients, replace each color in the gradient:
+```css
+/* BEFORE */
+background: linear-gradient(#1a1a1a, #121212);
+
+/* AFTER */
+background: linear-gradient(var(--theme-color-bg-3), var(--theme-color-bg-2));
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+After each file is updated:
+
+- [ ] No CSS compilation errors
+- [ ] Visual appearance matches original (or is intentionally improved)
+- [ ] Hover states still work
+- [ ] Focus states visible
+- [ ] No missing backgrounds (transparent where should be solid)
+- [ ] Text contrast is acceptable
+
+### Full Test After All Changes
+- [ ] Open/close all popup types
+- [ ] Property editor functions correctly
+- [ ] Menus display correctly
+- [ ] No visual regressions in editor
+
+---
+
+## Verification Command
+
+After completing, run this to ensure no hardcoded colors remain:
+
+```bash
+# Should return minimal results (only node-specific colors are acceptable)
+grep -rn "#[0-9a-fA-F]\{6\}" packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/styles/ --include="*.css" --include="*.scss" | grep -v "node-" | wc -l
+```
+
+**Target: 0 hardcoded UI colors remaining**
+
+---
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] All UI colors in `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/styles/` use CSS variables
+- [ ] No visual regressions
+- [ ] Grep search returns no hardcoded hex colors (except node-specific)
+- [ ] Ready for component-level audit (TASK-000C, 000D)

+# TASK-000C: Hardcoded Color Audit - Node Graph Editor
+
+## Overview
+
+Find and replace all hardcoded hex colors in the node graph editor views directory. This is a high-visibility area where users spend most of their time.
+
+**Priority:** HIGH  
+**Effort:** 1-2 hours  
+**Risk:** Low-Medium  
+**Dependencies:** TASK-000A (Token Consolidation)
+
+---
+
+## Objective
+
+Replace all hardcoded hex color values in the node graph editor views with CSS variable references.
+
+---
+
+## Target Directory
+
+```
+packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/
+```
+
+Focus especially on:
+```
+packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/nodegrapheditor/
+packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/ConnectionPopup/
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 1: Find All Hardcoded Colors
+
+```bash
+# Find all hex colors in views directory
+grep -rn "#[0-9a-fA-F]\{3,8\}" packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/ --include="*.css" --include="*.scss"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 2: Priority Files
+
+### Critical Files
+1. **`InspectPopup.module.scss`**
+   - `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/nodegrapheditor/InspectJSONView/InspectPopup.module.scss`
+   - Used for debugging/inspecting node values
+
+2. **`ConnectionPopup.module.scss`**
+   - `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/ConnectionPopup/ConnectionPopup.module.scss`
+   - Shown when creating connections between nodes
+
+3. **Node Graph Editor Styles**
+   - Any `.css` or `.scss` files in `nodegrapheditor/` directory
+
+### Other View Files
+4. **Migration Wizard files** (if any remain hardcoded)
+   - `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/migration/`
+
+5. **Project views**
+   - `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/projectsview.ts` (check inline styles)
+
+---
+
+## Step 3: Node-Specific Color Handling
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Some colors in node graph views are intentionally distinct for different node types. These should use the node-specific tokens, not general UI tokens:
+
+### Node Type Color Tokens
+```css
+/* Data nodes - Green */
+var(--theme-color-node-data-1)
+var(--theme-color-node-data-2)
+var(--theme-color-node-data-3)
+
+/* Visual nodes - Blue */
+var(--theme-color-node-visual-1)
+var(--theme-color-node-visual-2)
+
+/* Custom nodes - Pink */
+var(--theme-color-node-custom-1)
+var(--theme-color-node-custom-2)
+
+/* Logic nodes - Gray */
+var(--theme-color-node-logic-1)
+var(--theme-color-node-logic-2)
+
+/* Component nodes - Purple */
+var(--theme-color-node-component-1)
+var(--theme-color-node-component-2)
+```
+
+### Connection Color Tokens
+```css
+/* Signal connections (events) */
+var(--theme-color-signal)  /* Red */
+
+/* Data connections (values) */
+var(--theme-color-data)    /* Gray/neutral */
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 4: Color Mapping for Views
+
+### Background Colors (same as TASK-000B)
+| Hardcoded | Token |
+|-----------|-------|
+| `#0a0a0a`, `#111111` | `var(--theme-color-bg-1)` |
+| `#121212`, `#151515` | `var(--theme-color-bg-2)` |
+| `#1a1a1a`, `#191919` | `var(--theme-color-bg-3)` |
+| `#262626`, `#282828` | `var(--theme-color-bg-4)` |
+| `#333333`, `#363636` | `var(--theme-color-bg-5)` |
+
+### Foreground Colors
+| Hardcoded | Token |
+|-----------|-------|
+| `#ffffff`, `#fff` | `var(--theme-color-fg-highlight)` |
+| `#d4d4d4`, `#cccccc` | `var(--theme-color-fg-default)` |
+| `#a3a3a3`, `#999999` | `var(--theme-color-fg-default-shy)` |
+| `#737373`, `#666666` | `var(--theme-color-fg-muted)` |
+
+### Popup/Dialog Colors
+| Hardcoded | Token |
+|-----------|-------|
+| Dark backgrounds | `var(--theme-color-bg-3)` |
+| Borders | `var(--theme-color-border-default)` |
+| Hover states | `var(--theme-color-bg-hover)` |
+
+---
+
+## Step 5: Check for Inline Styles in TSX/JSX
+
+Some TypeScript/React files may have inline styles with hardcoded colors:
+
+```bash
+# Find hardcoded colors in TypeScript files
+grep -rn "['\"](#[0-9a-fA-F]\{3,8\})['\"]" packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/ --include="*.tsx" --include="*.ts"
+```
+
+If found, convert to CSS class or use CSS variables:
+
+```tsx
+// BEFORE - Inline hardcoded
+<div style={{ background: '#1a1a1a' }}>
+
+// AFTER - Use CSS variable
+<div style={{ background: 'var(--theme-color-bg-3)' }}>
+
+// BEST - Use CSS class
+<div className={styles.container}>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing Checklist

+```
+
+**Target: 0 hardcoded UI colors (only intentional node-specific colors allowed)**
+
+---
+
+## Success Criteria

+| Active BG | `var(--theme-color-bg-3)` or `var(--theme-color-primary-dim)` |
+| Disabled | Use opacity or `var(--theme-color-fg-muted)` |
+
+### Input-Specific
+| Element | Token |
+|---------|-------|
+| Background | `var(--theme-color-bg-3)` |
+| Border | `var(--theme-color-border-default)` |
+| Border focused | `var(--theme-color-focus-ring)` |
+| Placeholder | `var(--theme-color-fg-muted)` |
+
+---
+
+## Step 4: Examples
+
+### Button Before/After
+```scss
+// BEFORE
+.button {
+  background: #363636;
+  color: #ffffff;
+  
+  &:hover {
+    background: #444444;
+  }
+}
+
+// AFTER
+.button {
+  background: var(--theme-color-bg-5);
+  color: var(--theme-color-fg-highlight);
+  
+  &:hover {
+    background: var(--theme-color-bg-hover);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Input Before/After
+```scss
+// BEFORE
+.input {
+  background: #1a1a1a;
+  border: 1px solid #333333;
+  color: #d4d4d4;
+  
+  &::placeholder {
+    color: #666666;
+  }
+  
+  &:focus {
+    border-color: #d21f3c;
+  }
+}
+
+// AFTER
+.input {
+  background: var(--theme-color-bg-3);
+  border: 1px solid var(--theme-color-border-default);
+  color: var(--theme-color-fg-default);
+  
+  &::placeholder {
+    color: var(--theme-color-fg-muted);
+  }
+  
+  &:focus {
+    border-color: var(--theme-color-focus-ring);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 5: Check Storybook
+
+After updating components, verify in Storybook:
+
+```bash
+npm run storybook
+```
+
+Navigate to each updated component and check:
+- Default state renders correctly
+- All variants look correct
+- Interactive states work (hover, focus, active, disabled)
+- Dark theme shows proper contrast
+
+---
+
+## Testing Checklist

+
+## Part 3: Update Import Statements
+
+### Editor Entry Point
+File: `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/index.ts`
+
+Add import:
+```typescript
+import '../editor/src/styles/custom-properties/spacing.css';
+```
+
+### Core UI Entry (if exists)
+Check `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/index.ts` or similar and add spacing import.
+
+### Storybook Preview
+File: `packages/noodl-core-ui/.storybook/preview.ts`
+
+Ensure spacing.css is imported:
+```typescript
+import '../src/styles/custom-properties/spacing.css';
+```
+
+---
+
+## Part 4: Also Update Editor's Font File
+
+File: `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/styles/custom-properties/fonts.css`
+
+Should contain the same content as the core-ui fonts.css (or be deleted and import from core-ui).
+
+---
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+### Token Availability
+- [ ] All font tokens accessible in CSS (`var(--font-size-base)` works)
+- [ ] All spacing tokens accessible (`var(--spacing-4)` works)
+- [ ] Shadow tokens work
+- [ ] Transition tokens work
+
+### Visual Check
+- [ ] Text sizes look appropriate
+- [ ] Default body text is readable
+- [ ] Code blocks use monospace font
+- [ ] Spacing feels balanced
+
+### Build Check
+- [ ] No CSS compilation errors
+- [ ] No missing variable warnings
+- [ ] Storybook loads correctly
+- [ ] Editor builds successfully
+
+---
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Using Font Tokens
+```scss
+.title {
+  font-family: var(--font-family);
+  font-size: var(--font-size-xl);
+  font-weight: var(--font-weight-semibold);
+  line-height: var(--line-height-tight);
+}
+
+.code {
+  font-family: var(--font-family-code);
+  font-size: var(--font-size-sm);
+}
+```
+
+### Using Spacing Tokens
+```scss
+.panel {
+  padding: var(--spacing-panel-padding);
+}
+
+.button {
+  padding: var(--spacing-button-padding-y) var(--spacing-button-padding-x);
+  gap: var(--spacing-button-gap);
+}
+
+.card {
+  border-radius: var(--radius-lg);
+  box-shadow: var(--shadow-md);
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] fonts.css contains comprehensive typography tokens
+- [ ] spacing.css is created with full spacing system
+- [ ] Both files imported in editor and storybook
+- [ ] No build errors
+- [ ] Tokens are usable in components
+- [ ] Ready for component visual updates (TASK-000F, 000G)

+# TASK-000G: Component Visual Updates - Dialogs & Panels
+
+## Overview
+
+Apply visual refinements to dialog, modal, and panel components to create a modern, elevated UI feel. These are high-visibility components that frame content throughout the editor.
+
+**Priority:** MEDIUM  
+**Effort:** 1-2 hours  
+**Risk:** Medium  
+**Dependencies:** TASK-000A, TASK-000D, TASK-000E (Color tokens, Core UI audit, Spacing tokens)
+
+---
+
+## Objective
+
+Make dialogs and panels feel modern and elevated with:
+- Subtle borders for definition
+- Refined shadows for depth
+- Better backdrop styling
+- Consistent header/body/footer structure
+- Proper spacing using tokens

+# DASH-001: Tabbed Navigation System
+
+## Overview
+
+Replace the current single-view dashboard with a proper tabbed interface. This is the foundation task that enables all other dashboard improvements.
+
+## Context
+
+The current Noodl editor dashboard (`projectsview.ts`) uses a basic pane-switching mechanism with jQuery. A new launcher is being developed in `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/` using React, which already has a sidebar-based navigation but needs proper tab support for the main content area.
+
+This task focuses on the **new React-based launcher** only. The old jQuery launcher will be deprecated.
+
+## Current State
+
+### Existing New Launcher Structure
+```
+packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/
+├── Launcher/
+│   ├── Launcher.tsx           # Main component with PAGES array
+│   ├── components/
+│   │   ├── LauncherSidebar/   # Left navigation
+│   │   ├── LauncherPage/      # Page wrapper
+│   │   ├── LauncherProjectCard/
+│   │   └── LauncherSearchBar/
+│   └── views/
+│       ├── Projects.tsx       # Current projects view
+│       └── LearningCenter.tsx # Empty learning view
+└── template/
+    └── LauncherApp/          # App shell template
+```
+
+### Current Page Definition
+```typescript
+// In Launcher.tsx
+export enum LauncherPageId {
+  LocalProjects,
+  LearningCenter
+}
+
+export const PAGES: LauncherPageMetaData[] = [
+  { id: LauncherPageId.LocalProjects, displayName: 'Recent Projects', icon: IconName.CircleDot },
+  { id: LauncherPageId.LearningCenter, displayName: 'Learn', icon: IconName.Rocket }
+];
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Tab Bar Component**
+   - Horizontal tab bar at the top of the main content area
+   - Visual indicator for active tab
+   - Smooth transition when switching tabs
+   - Keyboard navigation support (arrow keys, Enter)
+
+2. **Tab Configuration**
+   - Projects tab (default, opens first)
+   - Learn tab (tutorials, guides)
+   - Templates tab (project starters)
+   - Extensible for future tabs (Marketplace, Settings)
+
+3. **State Persistence**
+   - Remember last active tab across sessions
+   - Store in localStorage or electron-store
+
+4. **URL/Deep Linking (Optional)**
+   - Support for `noodl://dashboard/projects` style deep links
+   - Query params for tab state
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Tab switching should feel instant (<100ms)
+- No layout shift when switching tabs
+- Accessible (WCAG 2.1 AA compliant)
+- Consistent with existing noodl-core-ui design system
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### 1. Create Tab Bar Component
+
+Create a new component in `noodl-core-ui` that can be reused:
+
+```
+packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/layout/TabBar/
+├── TabBar.tsx
+├── TabBar.module.scss
+├── TabBar.stories.tsx
+└── index.ts
+```
+
+### 2. Update Launcher Structure
+
+```typescript
+// New page structure
+export enum LauncherPageId {
+  Projects = 'projects',
+  Learn = 'learn', 
+  Templates = 'templates'
+}
+
+export interface LauncherTab {
+  id: LauncherPageId;
+  label: string;
+  icon?: IconName;
+  component: React.ComponentType;
+}
+
+export const LAUNCHER_TABS: LauncherTab[] = [
+  { id: LauncherPageId.Projects, label: 'Projects', icon: IconName.Folder, component: Projects },
+  { id: LauncherPageId.Learn, label: 'Learn', icon: IconName.Book, component: LearningCenter },
+  { id: LauncherPageId.Templates, label: 'Templates', icon: IconName.Components, component: Templates }
+];
+```
+
+### 3. State Management
+
+Use React context for tab state:
+
+```typescript
+// LauncherContext.tsx
+interface LauncherContextValue {
+  activeTab: LauncherPageId;
+  setActiveTab: (tab: LauncherPageId) => void;
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Persistence Hook
+
+```typescript
+// usePersistentTab.ts
+function usePersistentTab(key: string, defaultTab: LauncherPageId) {
+  // Load from localStorage on mount
+  // Save to localStorage on change
+}
+```
+
+## Files to Create
+
+1. `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/layout/TabBar/TabBar.tsx`
+2. `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/layout/TabBar/TabBar.module.scss`
+3. `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/layout/TabBar/TabBar.stories.tsx`
+4. `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/layout/TabBar/index.ts`
+5. `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/Launcher/LauncherContext.tsx`
+6. `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/Launcher/hooks/usePersistentTab.ts`
+7. `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/Launcher/views/Templates.tsx`
+
+## Files to Modify
+
+1. `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/Launcher/Launcher.tsx`
+   - Import and use TabBar
+   - Implement tab switching logic
+   - Wrap with LauncherContext
+
+2. `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/layout/index.ts`
+   - Export TabBar component
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+### Phase 1: TabBar Component
+1. Create TabBar component with basic functionality
+2. Add styling consistent with noodl-core-ui
+3. Write Storybook stories for testing
+4. Add keyboard navigation
+
+### Phase 2: Launcher Integration
+1. Create LauncherContext
+2. Create usePersistentTab hook
+3. Integrate TabBar into Launcher.tsx
+4. Create empty Templates view
+
+### Phase 3: Polish
+1. Add tab transition animations
+2. Test accessibility
+3. Add deep link support (if time permits)
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+- [ ] Tabs render correctly
+- [ ] Clicking tab switches content
+- [ ] Active tab is visually indicated
+- [ ] Keyboard navigation works (Tab, Arrow keys, Enter)
+- [ ] Tab state persists after closing/reopening
+- [ ] No layout shift on tab switch
+- [ ] Works at different viewport sizes
+- [ ] Screen reader announces tab changes
+
+## Design Reference
+
+The tab bar should follow the existing Tabs component style in noodl-core-ui but be optimized for the launcher context (larger, more prominent).
+
+See: `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/layout/Tabs/`

+# DASH-002: Project List Redesign
+
+## Overview
+
+Transform the project list from a thumbnail grid into a more functional table/list view optimized for users with many projects. Add sorting, better information density, and optional view modes.
+
+## Context
+
+The current dashboard shows projects as large cards with auto-generated thumbnails. This works for users with a few projects but becomes unwieldy with many projects. The thumbnails add visual noise without providing much value.
+
+The new launcher in `noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/` already has the beginnings of a table layout with columns for Name, Version Control, and Contributors.
+
+## Current State
+
+### Existing LauncherProjectCard
+```typescript
+// From LauncherProjectCard.tsx
+export interface LauncherProjectData {
+  id: string;
+  title: string;
+  cloudSyncMeta: {
+    type: CloudSyncType;
+    source?: string;
+  };
+  localPath: string;
+  lastOpened: string;
+  pullAmount?: number;
+  pushAmount?: number;
+  uncommittedChangesAmount?: number;
+  imageSrc: string;
+  contributors?: UserBadgeProps[];
+}
+```
+
+### Current Layout (Projects.tsx)
+- Table header with Name, Version control, Contributors columns
+- Cards with thumbnail images
+- Basic search functionality via LauncherSearchBar
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **List View (Primary)**
+   - Compact row-based layout
+   - Columns: Name, Last Modified, Git Status, Local Path (truncated)
+   - Row hover state with quick actions
+   - Sortable columns (click header to sort)
+   - Resizable columns (stretch goal)
+
+2. **Grid View (Secondary)**
+   - Card-based layout for visual preference
+   - Smaller cards than current (2-3x more per row)
+   - Optional thumbnails (can be disabled)
+   - View toggle in toolbar
+
+3. **Sorting**
+   - Sort by Name (A-Z, Z-A)
+   - Sort by Last Modified (newest, oldest)
+   - Sort by Git Status (synced first, needs attention first)
+   - Persist sort preference
+
+4. **Information Display**
+   - Project name (primary)
+   - Last modified timestamp (relative: "2 hours ago")
+   - Git status indicator (icon + tooltip)
+   - Local path (truncated with tooltip for full path)
+   - Quick action buttons on hover (Open, Folder, Settings, Delete)
+
+5. **Empty State**
+   - Friendly message when no projects exist
+   - Call-to-action to create new project or import
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Handle 100+ projects smoothly (virtual scrolling if needed)
+- Row click opens project
+- Right-click context menu
+- Responsive to window resize
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### 1. Data Layer
+
+Create a hook for project data with sorting:
+
+```typescript
+// useProjectList.ts
+interface UseProjectListOptions {
+  sortField: 'name' | 'lastModified' | 'gitStatus';
+  sortDirection: 'asc' | 'desc';
+  filter?: string;
+}
+
+interface UseProjectListReturn {
+  projects: LauncherProjectData[];
+  isLoading: boolean;
+  sortField: string;
+  sortDirection: string;
+  setSorting: (field: string, direction: string) => void;
+}
+```
+
+### 2. List View Component
+
+```
+packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/Launcher/components/
+├── ProjectList/
+│   ├── ProjectList.tsx          # Main list component
+│   ├── ProjectListRow.tsx       # Individual row
+│   ├── ProjectListHeader.tsx    # Sortable header
+│   ├── ProjectList.module.scss
+│   └── index.ts
+```
+
+### 3. View Mode Toggle
+
+```typescript
+// ViewModeToggle.tsx
+export enum ViewMode {
+  List = 'list',
+  Grid = 'grid'
+}
+
+interface ViewModeToggleProps {
+  mode: ViewMode;
+  onChange: (mode: ViewMode) => void;
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Git Status Display
+
+```typescript
+// GitStatusBadge.tsx
+export enum GitStatusType {
+  NotInitialized = 'not-initialized',
+  LocalOnly = 'local-only',
+  Synced = 'synced',
+  Ahead = 'ahead',      // Have local commits to push
+  Behind = 'behind',    // Have remote commits to pull
+  Diverged = 'diverged', // Both ahead and behind
+  Uncommitted = 'uncommitted'
+}
+
+interface GitStatusBadgeProps {
+  status: GitStatusType;
+  details?: {
+    ahead?: number;
+    behind?: number;
+    uncommitted?: number;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Files to Create
+
+1. `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/Launcher/components/ProjectList/ProjectList.tsx`
+2. `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/Launcher/components/ProjectList/ProjectListRow.tsx`

+   - Make thumbnail optional
+
+3. `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/Launcher/Launcher.tsx`
+   - Update mock data if needed
+   - Add view mode to context
+
+## Implementation Steps

+# DASH-003: Project Organization - Folders & Tags
+
+## Overview
+
+Add the ability to organize projects using folders and tags. This enables users with many projects to group related work, filter their view, and find projects quickly.
+
+## Context
+
+Currently, projects are displayed in a flat list sorted by recency. Users with many projects (10+) struggle to find specific projects. There's no way to group related projects (e.g., "Client Work", "Personal", "Tutorials").
+
+This task adds a folder/tag system that works entirely client-side, storing metadata separately from the Noodl projects themselves.
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Folders**
+   - Create, rename, delete folders
+   - Drag-and-drop projects into folders
+   - Nested folders (1 level deep max)
+   - "All Projects" virtual folder (shows everything)
+   - "Uncategorized" virtual folder (shows unorganized projects)
+   - Folder displayed in sidebar
+
+2. **Tags**
+   - Create, rename, delete tags
+   - Assign multiple tags per project
+   - Color-coded tags
+   - Tag filtering (show projects with specific tags)
+   - Tags displayed as pills on project rows
+
+3. **Filtering**
+   - Filter by folder (sidebar click)
+   - Filter by tag (tag click or dropdown)
+   - Combine folder + tag filters
+   - Search within filtered view
+   - Clear all filters button
+
+4. **Persistence**
+   - Store folder/tag data in electron-store (not in project files)
+   - Data structure keyed by project path (stable identifier)
+   - Export/import organization data (stretch goal)
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Organization changes feel instant
+- Drag-and-drop is smooth
+- Works offline
+- Survives app restart
+
+## Data Model
+
+### Storage Structure
+
+```typescript
+// Stored in electron-store under 'projectOrganization'
+interface ProjectOrganizationData {
+  version: 1;
+  folders: Folder[];
+  tags: Tag[];
+  projectMeta: Record<string, ProjectMeta>; // keyed by project path
+}
+
+interface Folder {
+  id: string;
+  name: string;
+  parentId: string | null; // null = root level
+  order: number;
+  createdAt: string;
+}
+
+interface Tag {
+  id: string;
+  name: string;
+  color: string; // hex color
+  createdAt: string;
+}
+
+interface ProjectMeta {
+  folderId: string | null;
+  tagIds: string[];
+  customName?: string; // optional override
+  notes?: string;      // stretch goal
+}
+```
+
+### Color Palette for Tags
+
+```typescript
+const TAG_COLORS = [
+  '#EF4444', // Red
+  '#F97316', // Orange
+  '#EAB308', // Yellow
+  '#22C55E', // Green

+  '#3B82F6', // Blue
+  '#8B5CF6', // Purple
+  '#EC4899', // Pink
+  '#6B7280', // Gray
+];
+```
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### 1. Storage Service
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/ProjectOrganizationService.ts
+
+class ProjectOrganizationService {
+  private static instance: ProjectOrganizationService;
+  
+  // Folder operations
+  createFolder(name: string, parentId?: string): Folder;
+  renameFolder(id: string, name: string): void;
+  deleteFolder(id: string): void;
+  reorderFolder(id: string, newOrder: number): void;
+  
+  // Tag operations
+  createTag(name: string, color: string): Tag;
+  renameTag(id: string, name: string): void;
+  deleteTag(id: string): void;
+  changeTagColor(id: string, color: string): void;
+  
+  // Project organization
+  moveProjectToFolder(projectPath: string, folderId: string | null): void;
+  addTagToProject(projectPath: string, tagId: string): void;
+  removeTagFromProject(projectPath: string, tagId: string): void;
+  
+  // Queries
+  getFolders(): Folder[];
+  getTags(): Tag[];
+  getProjectMeta(projectPath: string): ProjectMeta | null;
+  getProjectsInFolder(folderId: string | null): string[];
+  getProjectsWithTag(tagId: string): string[];
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Sidebar Folder Tree
+
+```
+packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/Launcher/components/
+├── FolderTree/
+│   ├── FolderTree.tsx        # Tree container
+│   ├── FolderTreeItem.tsx    # Individual folder row
+│   ├── FolderTree.module.scss
+│   └── index.ts
+```
+
+### 3. Tag Components
+
+```
+├── TagPill/
+│   ├── TagPill.tsx           # Small colored tag display
+│   └── TagPill.module.scss
+├── TagSelector/

+│   └── TagSelector.module.scss
+├── TagFilter/
+│   ├── TagFilter.tsx         # Filter bar with active tags
+│   └── TagFilter.module.scss
+```
+
+### 4. Drag and Drop
+
+Use `@dnd-kit/core` for drag-and-drop:
+
+```typescript
+// DragDropContext for launcher
+import { DndContext, DragOverlay } from '@dnd-kit/core';
+
+// Draggable project row
+import { useDraggable } from '@dnd-kit/core';
+
+// Droppable folder
+import { useDroppable } from '@dnd-kit/core';

+# DASH-004: Tutorial Section Redesign
+
+## Overview
+
+Redesign the tutorial section (Learn tab) to be more compact, informative, and useful. Move from large tiles to a structured learning center with categories, progress tracking, and better discoverability.
+
+## Context
+
+The current tutorial section (`projectsview.ts` and lessons model) shows tutorials as large tiles with progress bars. The tiles take up significant screen space, making it hard to browse many tutorials. There's no categorization beyond a linear list.
+
+The new launcher has an empty `LearningCenter.tsx` view that needs to be built out.
+
+### Current Tutorial System
+
+The existing system uses:
+- `LessonProjectsModel` - manages lesson templates and progress
+- `lessonprojectsmodel.ts` - fetches from docs endpoint
+- Templates stored in docs repo with progress in localStorage
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Category Organization**
+   - Categories: Getting Started, Building UIs, Data & Logic, Advanced Topics, Integrations
+   - Collapsible category sections
+   - Category icons/colors
+
+2. **Tutorial Cards (Compact)**
+   - Title
+   - Short description (1-2 lines)
+   - Estimated duration
+   - Difficulty level (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced)
+   - Progress indicator (not started, in progress, completed)
+   - Thumbnail (small, optional)
+
+3. **Progress Tracking**
+   - Visual progress bar per tutorial
+   - Overall progress stats ("5 of 12 completed")
+   - "Continue where you left off" section at top
+   - Reset progress option
+
+4. **Filtering & Search**
+   - Search tutorials by name/description
+   - Filter by difficulty
+   - Filter by category
+   - Filter by progress (Not Started, In Progress, Completed)
+
+5. **Tutorial Detail View**
+   - Expanded description
+   - Learning objectives
+   - Prerequisites
+   - "Start Tutorial" / "Continue" / "Restart" button
+   - Estimated time remaining (for in-progress)
+
+6. **Additional Content Types**
+   - Video tutorials (embedded or linked)
+   - Written guides
+   - Interactive lessons (existing)
+   - External resources
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Fast loading (tutorials list cached)
+- Works offline for previously loaded tutorials
+- Responsive layout
+- Accessible navigation
+
+## Data Model
+
+### Enhanced Tutorial Structure
+
+```typescript
+interface Tutorial {
+  id: string;
+  title: string;
+  description: string;
+  longDescription?: string;
+  category: TutorialCategory;
+  difficulty: 'beginner' | 'intermediate' | 'advanced';
+  estimatedMinutes: number;
+  type: 'interactive' | 'video' | 'guide';
+  thumbnailUrl?: string;
+  objectives?: string[];
+  prerequisites?: string[];
+  
+  // For interactive tutorials
+  templateUrl?: string;
+  
+  // For video tutorials
+  videoUrl?: string;
+  
+  // For guides
+  guideUrl?: string;
+}
+
+interface TutorialCategory {
+  id: string;
+  name: string;
+  icon: IconName;
+  color: string;
+  order: number;
+}
+
+interface TutorialProgress {
+  tutorialId: string;
+  status: 'not-started' | 'in-progress' | 'completed';
+  lastAccessedAt: string;
+  completedAt?: string;
+  currentStep?: number;
+  totalSteps?: number;
+}
+```
+
+### Default Categories
+
+```typescript
+const TUTORIAL_CATEGORIES: TutorialCategory[] = [
+  { id: 'getting-started', name: 'Getting Started', icon: IconName.Rocket, color: '#22C55E', order: 0 },
+  { id: 'ui', name: 'Building UIs', icon: IconName.Palette, color: '#3B82F6', order: 1 },
+  { id: 'data', name: 'Data & Logic', icon: IconName.Database, color: '#8B5CF6', order: 2 },
+  { id: 'advanced', name: 'Advanced Topics', icon: IconName.Cog, color: '#F97316', order: 3 },
+  { id: 'integrations', name: 'Integrations', icon: IconName.Plug, color: '#EC4899', order: 4 },
+];
+```
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### 1. Tutorial Service
+
+Extend or replace `LessonProjectsModel`:
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/TutorialService.ts
+
+class TutorialService {
+  private static instance: TutorialService;
+  
+  // Data fetching
+  async fetchTutorials(): Promise<Tutorial[]>;
+  async getTutorialById(id: string): Promise<Tutorial | null>;
+  
+  // Progress
+  getProgress(tutorialId: string): TutorialProgress;
+  updateProgress(tutorialId: string, progress: Partial<TutorialProgress>): void;
+  resetProgress(tutorialId: string): void;
+  
+  // Queries
+  getInProgressTutorials(): Tutorial[];
+  getCompletedTutorials(): Tutorial[];
+  getTutorialsByCategory(categoryId: string): Tutorial[];
+}
+```
+

+
+### ProgressRing
+
+Small circular progress indicator:
+- Size: 24px
+- Stroke width: 3px
+- Background: gray
+- Fill: green (completing), green (complete)
+- Center: percentage or checkmark
+
+## Compatibility Notes
+
+### Existing Lesson System
+
+The current system uses:
+```typescript
+// lessonprojectsmodel.ts
+interface LessonTemplate {
+  name: string;
+  description: string;
+  iconURL: string;
+  templateURL: string;
+  progress?: number;
+}
+```
+
+The new system should:
+1. Be backwards compatible with existing templates
+2. Migrate progress data from old format
+3. Support new enhanced metadata
+
+### Migration Path
+
+1. Keep `lessonprojectsmodel.ts` working during transition
+2. Create adapter in TutorialService to read old data
+3. Enhance existing tutorials with new metadata
+4. Eventually deprecate old model
+

+
+Prioritize getting users to relevant content quickly. The most common flow is:
+1. See "Continue Learning" → resume last tutorial
+2. Browse category → find new tutorial → start
+3. Search for specific topic → find tutorial → start
+
+Don't make users click through multiple screens to start learning.

+| DASH-002 | Project List Redesign | 9-14 | High |
+| DASH-003 | Project Organization | 16-22 | Medium |
+| DASH-004 | Tutorial Section Redesign | 13-19 | Medium |
+
+**Total Estimated: 43-63 hours**
+
+## Implementation Order
+
+### Week 1: Foundation
+1. **DASH-001** - Tabbed navigation (foundation for everything)
+2. **DASH-004** - Tutorial redesign (can parallel with DASH-002)
+
+### Week 2: Project Management
+3. **DASH-002** - Project list redesign
+4. **DASH-003** - Folders and tags
+
+## Key Technical Decisions
+
+### Location
+All new components go in:
+```
+packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/Launcher/
+```
+
+### State Management
+- Use React Context for launcher-wide state
+- Use electron-store for persistence
+- Keep component state minimal
+
+### Styling
+- Use existing noodl-core-ui components
+- CSS Modules for custom styling
+- Follow existing color/spacing tokens
+
+### Data
+- Services in `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/`
+- Hooks in launcher `hooks/` folder
+- Types in component folders or shared types file
+
+## Shared Components to Create
+
+These components will be reused across DASH tasks:
+
+| Component | Created In | Used By |
+|-----------|------------|---------|
+| TabBar | DASH-001 | All views |
+| GitStatusBadge | DASH-002 | Project list |
+| ViewModeToggle | DASH-002 | Project list |
+| FolderTree | DASH-003 | Sidebar |
+| TagPill | DASH-003 | Project rows |
+| ProgressRing | DASH-004 | Tutorial cards |
+| DifficultyBadge | DASH-004 | Tutorial cards |
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+Each task includes a testing checklist. Additionally:
+
+1. **Visual Testing**: Use Storybook for component development
+2. **Integration Testing**: Test in actual launcher context
+3. **Persistence Testing**: Verify data survives app restart
+4. **Performance Testing**: Check with 100+ projects/tutorials
+
+## Cline Usage Notes
+
+### Before Starting Each Task
+
+1. Read the task document completely
+2. Explore the existing code in `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/`
+3. Check existing components in `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/`
+4. Understand the data flow
+
+### During Implementation
+
+1. Create components incrementally with Storybook stories
+2. Test in isolation before integration
+3. Update imports/exports in index files
+4. Follow existing code style
+
+### Confidence Checkpoints
+
+Rate confidence (1-10) at these points:
+- After reading task document
+- After exploring existing code
+- Before creating first component
+- After completing each phase
+- Before marking task complete
+
+### Common Gotchas
+
+1. **Mock Data**: The launcher currently uses mock data - don't try to connect to real data yet
+2. **FIXME Alerts**: Many click handlers are `alert('FIXME: ...')` - that's expected
+3. **Storybook**: Run `npm run storybook` in noodl-core-ui to test components
+4. **Imports**: noodl-core-ui uses path aliases - check existing imports for patterns
+
+## Success Criteria (Series Complete)
+
+1. ✅ Launcher has tabbed navigation (Projects, Learn, Templates)
+2. ✅ Projects display in sortable list with git status
+3. ✅ Projects can be organized with folders and tags
+4. ✅ Tutorials are organized by category with progress tracking
+5. ✅ All preferences persist across sessions
+6. ✅ UI is responsive and accessible
+7. ✅ New components are reusable
+
+## Future Work (Post-DASH)
+
+The DASH series sets up infrastructure for:
+- **GIT series**: GitHub integration, sync status
+- **COMP series**: Shared components system
+- **AI series**: AI project creation
+- **DEPLOY series**: Deployment automation
+
+These will be documented separately.

+# GIT-001: GitHub OAuth Integration
+
+## Overview
+
+Add GitHub OAuth as an authentication method alongside the existing Personal Access Token (PAT) approach. This provides a smoother onboarding experience and enables access to GitHub's API for advanced features like repository browsing and organization access.
+
+## Context
+
+Currently, Noodl uses Personal Access Tokens for GitHub authentication:
+- Stored per-project in `GitStore` (encrypted locally)
+- Prompted via `GitProviderPopout` component
+- Used by `trampoline-askpass-handler` for git operations
+
+OAuth provides advantages:
+- No need to manually create and copy PATs
+- Automatic token refresh
+- Access to GitHub API (not just git operations)
+- Org/repo scope selection
+
+## Current State
+
+### Existing Authentication Flow
+```
+User → GitProviderPopout → Enter PAT → GitStore.set() → Git operations use PAT
+```
+
+### Key Files
+- `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/VersionControlPanel/components/GitProviderPopout/`
+- `packages/noodl-store/src/GitStore.ts` (assumed location)
+- `packages/noodl-git/src/core/trampoline/trampoline-askpass-handler.ts`
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **OAuth Flow**
+   - "Connect with GitHub" button in settings/dashboard
+   - Opens GitHub OAuth in system browser
+   - Handles callback via custom protocol (`noodl://github-callback`)
+   - Exchanges code for access token
+   - Stores token securely
+
+2. **Scope Selection**
+   - Request appropriate scopes: `repo`, `read:org`, `read:user`
+   - Display what permissions are being requested
+   - Option to request additional scopes later
+
+3. **Account Management**
+   - Show connected GitHub account (avatar, username)
+   - "Disconnect" option
+   - Support multiple accounts (stretch goal)
+
+4. **Organization Access**
+   - List user's organizations
+   - Allow selecting which orgs to access
+   - Remember org selection
+
+5. **Token Management**
+   - Secure storage using electron's safeStorage or keytar
+   - Automatic token refresh (GitHub OAuth tokens don't expire but can be revoked)
+   - Handle token revocation gracefully
+
+6. **Fallback to PAT**
+   - Keep existing PAT flow as alternative
+   - "Use Personal Access Token instead" option
+   - Clear migration path from PAT to OAuth
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- OAuth flow completes in <30 seconds
+- Token stored securely (encrypted at rest)
+- Works behind corporate proxies
+- Graceful offline handling
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### 1. GitHub OAuth App Setup
+
+Register OAuth App in GitHub:
+- Application name: "OpenNoodl"
+- Homepage URL: `https://opennoodl.net`
+- Callback URL: `noodl://github-callback`
+
+Store Client ID in app (Client Secret not needed for public clients using PKCE).
+
+### 2. OAuth Flow Implementation
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/GitHubOAuthService.ts
+
+class GitHubOAuthService {
+  private static instance: GitHubOAuthService;
+  
+  // OAuth flow
+  async initiateOAuth(): Promise<void>;
+  async handleCallback(code: string, state: string): Promise<GitHubToken>;
+  
+  // Token management
+  async getToken(): Promise<string | null>;
+  async refreshToken(): Promise<string>;
+  async revokeToken(): Promise<void>;
+  
+  // Account info
+  async getCurrentUser(): Promise<GitHubUser>;
+  async getOrganizations(): Promise<GitHubOrg[]>;
+  
+  // State
+  isAuthenticated(): boolean;
+  onAuthStateChanged(callback: (authenticated: boolean) => void): void;
+}
+```
+
+### 3. PKCE Flow (Recommended for Desktop Apps)
+
+```typescript
+// Generate PKCE challenge
+function generatePKCE(): { verifier: string; challenge: string } {
+  const verifier = crypto.randomBytes(32).toString('base64url');
+  const challenge = crypto
+    .createHash('sha256')
+    .update(verifier)
+    .digest('base64url');
+  return { verifier, challenge };
+}
+
+// OAuth URL
+function getAuthorizationUrl(state: string, challenge: string): string {
+  const params = new URLSearchParams({
+    client_id: GITHUB_CLIENT_ID,
+    redirect_uri: 'noodl://github-callback',
+    scope: 'repo read:org read:user',
+    state,
+    code_challenge: challenge,
+    code_challenge_method: 'S256'
+  });
+  return `https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize?${params}`;
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Deep Link Handler
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/main/main.js
+
+// Register protocol handler
+app.setAsDefaultProtocolClient('noodl');
+
+// Handle deep links
+app.on('open-url', (event, url) => {
+  event.preventDefault();
+  if (url.startsWith('noodl://github-callback')) {
+    const params = new URL(url).searchParams;
+    const code = params.get('code');
+    const state = params.get('state');
+    handleGitHubCallback(code, state);
+  }
+});
+```
+
+### 5. Secure Token Storage
+
+```typescript
+// Use electron's safeStorage API
+import { safeStorage } from 'electron';
+
+async function storeToken(token: string): Promise<void> {
+  const encrypted = safeStorage.encryptString(token);
+  await store.set('github.token', encrypted.toString('base64'));
+}
+
+async function getToken(): Promise<string | null> {
+  const encrypted = await store.get('github.token');
+  if (!encrypted) return null;
+  return safeStorage.decryptString(Buffer.from(encrypted, 'base64'));
+}
+```
+
+### 6. Integration with Existing Git Auth
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-utils/LocalProjectsModel.ts
+
+setCurrentGlobalGitAuth(projectId: string) {
+  const func = async (endpoint: string) => {
+    if (endpoint.includes('github.com')) {
+      // Try OAuth token first
+      const oauthToken = await GitHubOAuthService.instance.getToken();
+      if (oauthToken) {
+        return {
+          username: 'oauth2',
+          password: oauthToken
+        };
+      }
+      
+      // Fall back to PAT
+      const config = await GitStore.get('github', projectId);
+      return {
+        username: 'noodl',
+        password: config?.password
+      };
+    }
+    // ... rest of existing logic
+  };
+  
+  setRequestGitAccount(func);
+}
+```
+
+## Files to Create
+
+1. `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/GitHubOAuthService.ts`
+2. `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/GitHubApiClient.ts`
+3. `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/Launcher/components/GitHubAccountCard/GitHubAccountCard.tsx`

+6. `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/VersionControlPanel/components/GitProviderPopout/sections/OAuthSection.tsx`
+
+## Files to Modify
+
+1. `packages/noodl-editor/src/main/main.js`
+   - Add deep link protocol handler for `noodl://`
+
+2. `packages/noodl-utils/LocalProjectsModel.ts`
+   - Update `setCurrentGlobalGitAuth` to prefer OAuth token
+
+3. `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/VersionControlPanel/components/GitProviderPopout/GitProviderPopout.tsx`
+   - Add OAuth option alongside PAT
+
+4. `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/Launcher/components/LauncherSidebar/LauncherSidebar.tsx`
+   - Add GitHub account display/connect button
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+### Phase 1: OAuth Service Foundation
+1. Create GitHubOAuthService class
+2. Implement PKCE flow
+3. Set up deep link handler in main process
+4. Implement secure token storage
+
+### Phase 2: UI Components
+1. Create GitHubConnectButton
+2. Create GitHubAccountCard
+3. Add OAuth section to GitProviderPopout
+4. Add account display to launcher sidebar
+
+### Phase 3: API Integration
+1. Create GitHubApiClient for REST API calls
+2. Implement user info fetching
+3. Implement organization listing
+4. Create OrgSelector component
+
+### Phase 4: Git Integration
+1. Update LocalProjectsModel auth function
+2. Test with git operations
+3. Handle token expiry/revocation
+4. Add fallback to PAT
+
+### Phase 5: Polish
+1. Error handling and messages
+2. Offline handling
+3. Loading states
+4. Settings persistence
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **PKCE**: Use PKCE flow instead of client secret (more secure for desktop apps)
+2. **Token Storage**: Use electron's safeStorage API (OS-level encryption)
+3. **State Parameter**: Verify state to prevent CSRF attacks
+4. **Scope Limitation**: Request minimum required scopes
+5. **Token Exposure**: Never log tokens, clear from memory when not needed
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+- [ ] OAuth flow completes successfully
+- [ ] Token stored securely
+- [ ] Token retrieved correctly for git operations

+# GIT-002: Git Status Dashboard Visibility
+
+## Overview
+
+Surface git status information directly in the project list on the dashboard, allowing users to see at a glance which projects need attention (uncommitted changes, unpushed commits, available updates) without opening each project.
+
+## Context
+
+Currently, git status is only visible inside the VersionControlPanel after opening a project. Users with many projects have no way to know which ones have uncommitted changes or need syncing.
+
+The new launcher already has mock data for git sync status in `LauncherProjectCard`, but it's not connected to real data.
+
+### Existing Infrastructure
+
+From `LauncherProjectCard.tsx`:
+```typescript
+export enum CloudSyncType {
+  None = 'none',
+  Git = 'git'
+}
+
+export interface LauncherProjectData {
+  cloudSyncMeta: {
+    type: CloudSyncType;
+    source?: string;  // Remote URL
+  };
+  pullAmount?: number;
+  pushAmount?: number;
+  uncommittedChangesAmount?: number;
+}
+```
+
+From `VersionControlPanel/context/fetch.context.ts`:
+```typescript
+// Already calculates:
+localCommitCount    // Commits ahead of remote
+remoteCommitCount   // Commits behind remote
+workingDirectoryStatus  // Uncommitted files
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Status Indicators in Project List**
+   - Not Initialized: Gray indicator, no version control
+   - Local Only: Yellow indicator, git but no remote
+   - Synced: Green checkmark, up to date
+   - Has Uncommitted Changes: Yellow dot, local modifications
+   - Ahead: Blue up arrow, local commits to push
+   - Behind: Orange down arrow, remote commits to pull
+   - Diverged: Red warning, both ahead and behind
+
+2. **Status Details**
+   - Tooltip showing details on hover
+   - "3 commits to push, 2 to pull"
+   - "5 uncommitted files"
+   - Last sync time
+
+3. **Quick Actions**
+   - Quick sync button (fetch + show status)
+   - Link to open Version Control panel
+
+4. **Background Refresh**
+   - Check status on dashboard load
+   - Periodic refresh (every 5 minutes)
+   - Manual refresh button
+   - Status cached to avoid repeated git operations
+
+5. **Performance**
+   - Parallel status checks for multiple projects
+   - Debounced/throttled to avoid overwhelming git
+   - Cached results with TTL
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Status check per project: <500ms
+- Dashboard load not blocked by status checks
+- Works offline (shows cached/stale data)
+
+## Data Model
+
+### Git Status Types
+
+```typescript
+enum ProjectGitStatus {
+  Unknown = 'unknown',           // Haven't checked yet
+  NotInitialized = 'not-init',   // Not a git repo
+  LocalOnly = 'local-only',      // Git but no remote
+  Synced = 'synced',             // Up to date with remote
+  Uncommitted = 'uncommitted',   // Has local changes
+  Ahead = 'ahead',               // Has commits to push
+  Behind = 'behind',             // Has commits to pull
+  Diverged = 'diverged',         // Both ahead and behind
+  Error = 'error'                // Failed to check
+}
+
+interface ProjectGitStatusDetails {
+  status: ProjectGitStatus;
+  aheadCount?: number;
+  behindCount?: number;
+  uncommittedCount?: number;
+  lastFetchTime?: number;
+  remoteUrl?: string;
+  currentBranch?: string;
+  error?: string;
+}
+```
+
+### Cache Structure
+
+```typescript
+interface GitStatusCache {
+  [projectPath: string]: {
+    status: ProjectGitStatusDetails;
+    checkedAt: number;
+    isStale: boolean;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### 1. Git Status Service
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/ProjectGitStatusService.ts
+
+class ProjectGitStatusService {
+  private static instance: ProjectGitStatusService;
+  private cache: GitStatusCache = {};
+  private checkQueue: Set<string> = new Set();
+  private isChecking = false;
+  
+  // Check single project
+  async checkStatus(projectPath: string): Promise<ProjectGitStatusDetails>;
+  
+  // Check multiple projects (batched)
+  async checkStatusBatch(projectPaths: string[]): Promise<Map<string, ProjectGitStatusDetails>>;
+  
+  // Get cached status
+  getCachedStatus(projectPath: string): ProjectGitStatusDetails | null;
+  
+  // Clear cache
+  invalidateCache(projectPath?: string): void;
+  
+  // Subscribe to status changes
+  onStatusChanged(callback: (path: string, status: ProjectGitStatusDetails) => void): () => void;
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Status Check Implementation
+
+```typescript
+async checkStatus(projectPath: string): Promise<ProjectGitStatusDetails> {
+  const git = new Git(mergeProject);
+  
+  try {
+    // Check if it's a git repo
+    const gitPath = await getTopLevelWorkingDirectory(projectPath);
+    if (!gitPath) {
+      return { status: ProjectGitStatus.NotInitialized };
+    }
+    
+    await git.openRepository(projectPath);
+    
+    // Check for remote
+    const remoteName = await git.getRemoteName();
+    if (!remoteName) {
+      return { status: ProjectGitStatus.LocalOnly };
+    }
+    
+    // Get working directory status
+    const workingStatus = await git.status();
+    const uncommittedCount = workingStatus.length;
+    
+    // Get commit counts (requires fetch for accuracy)
+    const commits = await git.getCommitsCurrentBranch();
+    const aheadCount = commits.filter(c => c.isLocalAhead).length;
+    const behindCount = commits.filter(c => c.isRemoteAhead).length;
+    
+    // Determine status
+    let status: ProjectGitStatus;
+    if (uncommittedCount > 0) {
+      status = ProjectGitStatus.Uncommitted;
+    } else if (aheadCount > 0 && behindCount > 0) {
+      status = ProjectGitStatus.Diverged;
+    } else if (aheadCount > 0) {
+      status = ProjectGitStatus.Ahead;
+    } else if (behindCount > 0) {
+      status = ProjectGitStatus.Behind;
+    } else {
+      status = ProjectGitStatus.Synced;
+    }
+    
+    return {
+      status,
+      aheadCount,
+      behindCount,
+      uncommittedCount,
+      lastFetchTime: Date.now(),
+      remoteUrl: git.OriginUrl,
+      currentBranch: await git.getCurrentBranchName()
+    };
+  } catch (error) {
+    return {
+      status: ProjectGitStatus.Error,
+      error: error.message
+    };
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Dashboard Integration Hook
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/Launcher/hooks/useProjectGitStatus.ts
+
+function useProjectGitStatus(projectPaths: string[]) {
+  const [statuses, setStatuses] = useState<Map<string, ProjectGitStatusDetails>>(new Map());
+  const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(true);
+  
+  useEffect(() => {
+    // Initial check
+    ProjectGitStatusService.instance
+      .checkStatusBatch(projectPaths)
+      .then(setStatuses)
+      .finally(() => setIsLoading(false));
+    
+    // Subscribe to updates
+    const unsubscribe = ProjectGitStatusService.instance.onStatusChanged((path, status) => {
+      setStatuses(prev => new Map(prev).set(path, status));
+    });
+    
+    return unsubscribe;
+  }, [projectPaths]);
+  
+  const refresh = useCallback(() => {
+    ProjectGitStatusService.instance.invalidateCache();
+    // Re-trigger check
+  }, []);
+  
+  return { statuses, isLoading, refresh };
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Visual Status Badge
+
+Already started in DASH-002 as `GitStatusBadge`, but needs real data connection:
+
+```typescript
+// Enhanced GitStatusBadge props
+interface GitStatusBadgeProps {
+  status: ProjectGitStatus;
+  details: ProjectGitStatusDetails;
+  showTooltip?: boolean;
+  size?: 'small' | 'medium';
+}
+```

+4. `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/Launcher/components/GitStatusBadge/GitStatusBadge.module.scss`
+5. `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/Launcher/components/GitStatusTooltip/GitStatusTooltip.tsx`
+
+## Files to Modify
+
+1. `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/Launcher/views/Projects.tsx`
+   - Use `useProjectGitStatus` hook
+   - Pass status to project cards/rows
+
+2. `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/Launcher/components/ProjectList/ProjectListRow.tsx`
+   - Display GitStatusBadge with real data
+
+3. `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/Launcher/components/LauncherProjectCard/LauncherProjectCard.tsx`
+   - Update to use real status data (for grid view)
+
+4. `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/preview/launcher/Launcher/Launcher.tsx`
+   - Replace mock project data with real data connection

+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+### Phase 1: Service Foundation
+1. Create ProjectGitStatusService
+2. Implement single project status check
+3. Add caching logic
+4. Create batch checking with parallelization
+
+### Phase 2: Hook & Data Flow
+1. Create useProjectGitStatus hook
+2. Connect to Projects view
+3. Replace mock data with real data
+4. Add loading states
+
+### Phase 3: Visual Components
+1. Create/update GitStatusBadge
+2. Create GitStatusTooltip
+3. Integrate into ProjectListRow
+4. Integrate into LauncherProjectCard
+
+### Phase 4: Refresh & Background
+1. Add manual refresh button
+2. Implement periodic background refresh
+3. Add refresh on window focus
+4. Handle offline state
+
+### Phase 5: Polish
+1. Performance optimization
+2. Error handling
+3. Stale data indicators
+4. Animation on status change
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+1. **Parallel Checking**: Check up to 5 projects simultaneously
+2. **Debouncing**: Don't re-check same project within 10 seconds
+3. **Cache TTL**: Status valid for 5 minutes, stale after
+4. **Lazy Loading**: Only check visible projects first
+5. **Background Priority**: Use requestIdleCallback for non-visible
+
+```typescript
+// Throttled batch check
+async checkStatusBatch(projectPaths: string[]): Promise<Map<string, ProjectGitStatusDetails>> {
+  const CONCURRENCY = 5;
+  const results = new Map();
+  
+  for (let i = 0; i < projectPaths.length; i += CONCURRENCY) {
+    const batch = projectPaths.slice(i, i + CONCURRENCY);
+    const batchResults = await Promise.all(
+      batch.map(path => this.checkStatus(path))
+    );
+    batch.forEach((path, idx) => results.set(path, batchResults[idx]));
+  }
+  
+  return results;
+}
+```
+

+# GIT-003: Repository Cloning
+
+## Overview
+
+Add the ability to clone GitHub repositories directly from the Noodl dashboard, similar to how VS Code handles cloning. Users can browse their repositories, select one, choose a local folder, and have the project cloned and opened automatically.
+
+## Context
+
+Currently, to work with an existing Noodl project from GitHub, users must:
+1. Clone the repo manually using git CLI or another tool
+2. Open Noodl
+3. Use "Open folder" to navigate to the cloned project
+
+This task streamlines that to:
+1. Click "Clone from GitHub"
+2. Select repository
+3. Choose folder
+4. Project opens automatically
+
+### Existing Infrastructure
+
+The `noodl-git` package already has clone functionality:
+```typescript
+// From git.ts
+async clone({ url, directory, singleBranch, onProgress }: GitCloneOptions): Promise<void>
+```
+
+And clone tests show it working:
+```typescript
+await git.clone({
+  url: 'https://github.com/github/testrepo.git',
+  directory: tempDir,
+  onProgress: (progress) => { result.push(progress); }
+});
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Clone Entry Points**
+   - "Clone Repository" button in dashboard toolbar
+   - "Clone from GitHub" option in "Create Project" menu
+   - Right-click empty area → "Clone Repository"
+
+2. **Repository Browser**
+   - List user's repositories (requires OAuth from GIT-001)
+   - List organization repositories
+   - Search/filter repositories
+   - Show repo details: name, description, visibility, last updated
+   - "Clone URL" input for direct URL entry
+
+3. **Folder Selection**
+   - Native folder picker dialog
+   - Remember last used parent folder
+   - Validate folder is empty or doesn't exist
+   - Show full path before cloning
+
+4. **Clone Process**
+   - Progress indicator with stages
+   - Cancel button
+   - Error handling with clear messages
+   - Retry option on failure
+
+5. **Post-Clone Actions**
+   - Automatically open project in editor
+   - Add to recent projects
+   - Show success notification
+
+6. **Branch Selection (Optional)**
+   - Default to main/master
+   - Option to select different branch
+   - Shallow clone option for large repos
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Clone progress updates smoothly
+- Cancellation works immediately
+- Handles large repositories
+- Works with private repositories (with auth)
+- Clear error messages for common failures
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### 1. Clone Service
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/CloneService.ts
+
+interface CloneOptions {
+  url: string;
+  directory: string;
+  branch?: string;
+  shallow?: boolean;
+  onProgress?: (progress: CloneProgress) => void;
+}
+
+interface CloneProgress {
+  phase: 'counting' | 'compressing' | 'receiving' | 'resolving' | 'checking-out';
+  percent: number;
+  message: string;
+}
+
+interface CloneResult {
+  success: boolean;
+  projectPath?: string;
+  error?: string;
+}
+
+class CloneService {
+  private static instance: CloneService;
+  private activeClone: AbortController | null = null;
+  
+  async clone(options: CloneOptions): Promise<CloneResult>;
+  cancel(): void;
+  
+  // GitHub API integration
+  async listUserRepos(): Promise<GitHubRepo[]>;
+  async listOrgRepos(orgName: string): Promise<GitHubRepo[]>;
+  async searchRepos(query: string): Promise<GitHubRepo[]>;
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Repository Browser Component
+
+```typescript
+// RepoBrowser.tsx
+
+interface RepoBrowserProps {
+  onSelect: (repo: GitHubRepo) => void;
+  onUrlSubmit: (url: string) => void;
+}
+
+interface GitHubRepo {
+  id: number;
+  name: string;
+  fullName: string;
+  description: string;
+  private: boolean;
+  htmlUrl: string;
+  cloneUrl: string;
+  sshUrl: string;
+  defaultBranch: string;
+  updatedAt: string;
+  owner: {
+    login: string;
+    avatarUrl: string;
+  };
+}
+```

+# GIT-004: Auto-Initialization & Commit Encouragement
+
+## Overview
+
+Make version control a default part of the Noodl workflow by automatically initializing git for new projects and gently encouraging regular commits. This helps users avoid losing work and prepares them for collaboration.
+
+## Context
+
+Currently:
+- New projects are not git-initialized by default
+- Users must manually open Version Control panel and initialize
+- There's no prompting to commit changes
+- Closing a project with uncommitted changes has no warning
+
+Many Noodl users are designers or low-code developers who may not be familiar with git. By making version control automatic and unobtrusive, we help them develop good habits without requiring git expertise.
+
+### Existing Infrastructure
+
+From `LocalProjectsModel.ts`:
+```typescript
+async isGitProject(project: ProjectModel): Promise<boolean> {
+  const gitPath = await getTopLevelWorkingDirectory(project._retainedProjectDirectory);
+  return gitPath !== null;
+}
+```
+
+From `git.ts`:
+```typescript
+async initNewRepo(baseDir: string, options?: { bare: boolean }): Promise<void> {
+  if (this.baseDir) return;
+  this.baseDir = await init(baseDir, options);
+  await this._setupRepository();
+}
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Auto-Initialization**
+   - New projects are git-initialized by default
+   - Initial commit with project creation
+   - Option to disable in settings
+   - Existing non-git projects can be initialized easily
+
+2. **Commit Encouragement**
+   - Periodic reminder when changes are uncommitted
+   - Reminder appears as subtle notification, not modal
+   - "Commit now" quick action
+   - "Remind me later" option
+   - Configurable reminder interval
+
+3. **Quick Commit**
+   - One-click commit from notification
+   - Simple commit message input
+   - Default message suggestion
+   - Option to open full Version Control panel
+
+4. **Close Warning**
+   - Warning when closing project with uncommitted changes
+   - Show number of uncommitted files
+   - Options: "Commit & Close", "Close Anyway", "Cancel"
+   - Can be disabled in settings
+
+5. **Settings**
+   - Enable/disable auto-initialization
+   - Enable/disable commit reminders
+   - Reminder interval (15min, 30min, 1hr, 2hr)
+   - Enable/disable close warning
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Reminders are non-intrusive
+- Quick commit is fast (<2 seconds)
+- Auto-init doesn't slow project creation
+- Works offline
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### 1. Auto-Initialization in Project Creation
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/projectmodel.ts
+
+async createNewProject(name: string, template?: string): Promise<ProjectModel> {
+  const project = await this._createProject(name, template);
+  
+  // Auto-initialize git if enabled
+  if (EditorSettings.instance.get('git.autoInitialize') !== false) {
+    try {
+      const git = new Git(mergeProject);
+      await git.initNewRepo(project._retainedProjectDirectory);
+      await git.commit('Initial commit');
+    } catch (error) {
+      console.warn('Failed to auto-initialize git:', error);
+      // Don't fail project creation if git init fails
+    }
+  }
+  
+  return project;
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Commit Reminder Service
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/CommitReminderService.ts
+
+class CommitReminderService {
+  private static instance: CommitReminderService;
+  private reminderTimer: NodeJS.Timer | null = null;
+  private lastRemindedAt: number = 0;
+  
+  // Start monitoring for uncommitted changes
+  start(): void;
+  stop(): void;
+  
+  // Check if reminder should show
+  shouldShowReminder(): Promise<boolean>;
+  
+  // Show/dismiss reminder
+  showReminder(): void;
+  dismissReminder(snoozeMinutes?: number): void;
+  
+  // Events
+  onReminderTriggered(callback: () => void): () => void;
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Quick Commit Component
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/git/QuickCommitPopup/QuickCommitPopup.tsx
+
+interface QuickCommitPopupProps {
+  uncommittedCount: number;
+  suggestedMessage: string;
+  onCommit: (message: string) => Promise<void>;
+  onDismiss: () => void;
+  onOpenFullPanel: () => void;
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Close Warning Dialog
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/git/UnsavedChangesDialog/UnsavedChangesDialog.tsx
+
+interface UnsavedChangesDialogProps {
+  uncommittedCount: number;
+  onCommitAndClose: () => Promise<void>;
+  onCloseAnyway: () => void;
+  onCancel: () => void;
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Default Commit Messages
+
+```typescript
+// Smart default commit message generation
+function generateDefaultCommitMessage(changes: GitStatus[]): string {
+  const added = changes.filter(c => c.status === 'added');
+  const modified = changes.filter(c => c.status === 'modified');
+  const deleted = changes.filter(c => c.status === 'deleted');
+  
+  const parts: string[] = [];
+  
+  if (added.length > 0) {
+    if (added.length === 1) {
+      parts.push(`Add ${getComponentName(added[0].path)}`);
+    } else {
+      parts.push(`Add ${added.length} files`);
+    }

+# GIT-005: Enhanced Push/Pull UI
+
+## Overview
+
+Improve the push/pull experience with better visibility, branch management, conflict previews, and dashboard-level sync controls. Make syncing with remotes more intuitive and less error-prone.
+
+## Context
+
+The current Version Control panel has push/pull functionality via `GitStatusButton`, but:
+- Only visible when the panel is open
+- Branch switching is buried in menus
+- No preview of what will be pulled
+- Conflict resolution is complex
+
+This task brings sync operations to the forefront and adds safeguards.
+
+### Existing Infrastructure
+
+From `GitStatusButton.tsx`:
+```typescript
+// Status kinds: 'default', 'fetch', 'error-fetch', 'pull', 'push', 'push-repository', 'set-authorization'
+
+case 'push': {
+  label = localCommitCount === 1 ? `Push 1 local commit` : `Push ${localCommitCount} local commits`;
+}
+
+case 'pull': {
+  label = remoteCommitCount === 1 ? `Pull 1 remote commit` : `Pull ${remoteCommitCount} remote commits`;
+}
+```
+
+From `fetch.context.ts`:
+```typescript
+localCommitCount    // Commits ahead of remote
+remoteCommitCount   // Commits behind remote
+currentBranch       // Current branch info
+branches            // All branches
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Dashboard Sync Button**
+   - Visible sync button in project row (from GIT-002)
+   - One-click fetch & show status
+   - Quick push/pull from dashboard
+
+2. **Branch Selector**
+   - Dropdown showing current branch
+   - Quick switch between branches
+   - Create new branch option
+   - Branch search for projects with many branches
+   - Remote branch indicators
+
+3. **Pull Preview**
+   - Show what commits will be pulled
+   - List affected files
+   - Warning for potential conflicts
+   - "Preview" mode before actual pull
+
+4. **Conflict Prevention**
+   - Check for conflicts before pull
+   - Suggest stashing changes first
+   - Clear conflict resolution workflow
+   - "Abort" option during conflicts
+
+5. **Push Confirmation**
+   - Show commits being pushed
+   - Branch protection warning (if pushing to main)
+   - Force push warning (if needed)
+
+6. **Sync Status Header**
+   - Always-visible status in editor header
+   - Current branch display
+   - Quick sync actions
+   - Connection indicator
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Sync operations don't block UI
+- Progress visible for long operations
+- Works offline (queues operations)
+- Clear error messages
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### 1. Sync Status Header Component
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/git/SyncStatusHeader/SyncStatusHeader.tsx
+
+interface SyncStatusHeaderProps {
+  currentBranch: string;
+  aheadCount: number;
+  behindCount: number;
+  hasUncommitted: boolean;
+  isOnline: boolean;
+  lastFetchTime: number;
+  onPush: () => void;
+  onPull: () => void;
+  onFetch: () => void;
+  onBranchChange: (branch: string) => void;
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Branch Selector Component
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/git/BranchSelector/BranchSelector.tsx
+
+interface BranchSelectorProps {
+  currentBranch: Branch;
+  branches: Branch[];
+  onSelect: (branch: Branch) => void;
+  onCreate: (name: string) => void;
+}
+
+interface Branch {
+  name: string;
+  nameWithoutRemote: string;
+  isLocal: boolean;
+  isRemote: boolean;
+  isCurrent: boolean;
+  lastCommit?: {
+    sha: string;
+    message: string;
+    date: string;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Pull Preview Modal
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/git/PullPreviewModal/PullPreviewModal.tsx
+
+interface PullPreviewModalProps {
+  commits: Commit[];
+  affectedFiles: FileChange[];
+  hasConflicts: boolean;
+  conflictFiles?: string[];
+  onPull: () => Promise<void>;
+  onCancel: () => void;
+}
+
+interface Commit {
+  sha: string;
+  message: string;
+  author: string;
+  date: string;
+}
+
+interface FileChange {
+  path: string;
+  status: 'added' | 'modified' | 'deleted';
+  hasConflict: boolean;
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Conflict Resolution Flow
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/ConflictResolutionService.ts
+
+class ConflictResolutionService {
+  // Check for potential conflicts before pull
+  async previewConflicts(): Promise<ConflictPreview>;
+  
+  // Handle stashing
+  async stashAndPull(): Promise<void>;
+  
+  // Resolution strategies
+  async resolveWithOurs(file: string): Promise<void>;
+  async resolveWithTheirs(file: string): Promise<void>;
+  async openMergeTool(file: string): Promise<void>;
+  
+  // Abort
+  async abortMerge(): Promise<void>;
+}
+```

+# GIT Series: Git & GitHub Integration
+
+## Overview
+
+The GIT series transforms Noodl's version control experience from a manual, expert-only feature into a seamless, integrated part of the development workflow. By adding GitHub OAuth, surfacing git status in the dashboard, and encouraging good version control habits, we make collaboration accessible to all Noodl users.
+
+## Target Environment
+
+- **Editor**: React 19 version only
+- **Runtime**: Not affected (git is editor-only)
+- **Backwards Compatibility**: Existing git projects continue to work
+
+## Task Dependency Graph

+
+## Task Summary
+
+| Task ID | Name | Est. Hours | Priority |
+|---------|------|------------|----------|
+| GIT-001 | GitHub OAuth Integration | 14-20 | Critical |
+| GIT-002 | Git Status Dashboard Visibility | 11-16 | High |
+| GIT-003 | Repository Cloning | 13-18 | High |
+| GIT-004 | Auto-Initialization & Commit Encouragement | 13-19 | Medium |
+| GIT-005 | Enhanced Push/Pull UI | 17-23 | Medium |
+
+**Total Estimated: 68-96 hours**
+
+## Implementation Order
+
+### Week 1-2: Authentication & Status
+1. **GIT-001** - GitHub OAuth (foundation for GitHub API access)
+2. **GIT-002** - Dashboard status (leverages DASH-002 project list)
+
+### Week 3: Cloning & Basic Flow
+3. **GIT-003** - Repository cloning (depends on OAuth for private repos)
+
+### Week 4: Polish & Encouragement
+4. **GIT-004** - Auto-initialization (depends on status detection)
+5. **GIT-005** - Enhanced push/pull (depends on status infrastructure)
+
+## Existing Infrastructure
+
+The codebase already has solid git foundations to build on:
+
+### noodl-git Package
+```
+packages/noodl-git/src/
+├── git.ts              # Main Git class
+├── core/
+│   ├── clone.ts        # Clone operations
+│   ├── push.ts         # Push operations
+│   ├── pull.ts         # Pull operations
+│   └── ...
+├── actions/            # Higher-level actions
+└── constants.ts
+```
+
+Key existing methods:
+- `git.initNewRepo()` - Initialize new repository
+- `git.clone()` - Clone with progress
+- `git.push()` - Push with progress
+- `git.pull()` - Pull with rebase
+- `git.status()` - Working directory status
+- `git.getBranches()` - List branches
+- `git.getCommitsCurrentBranch()` - Commit history
+
+### Version Control Panel
+```
+packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/VersionControlPanel/
+├── VersionControlPanel.tsx
+├── components/
+│   ├── GitStatusButton.tsx     # Push/pull status
+│   ├── GitProviderPopout/      # Credentials management
+│   ├── LocalChanges.tsx        # Uncommitted files
+│   ├── History.tsx             # Commit history
+│   └── BranchMerge.tsx         # Branch operations
+└── context/
+    └── fetch.context.ts        # Git state management
+```
+
+### Credentials Storage
+- `GitStore` - Stores credentials per-project encrypted
+- `trampoline-askpass-handler` - Handles git credential prompts
+- Currently uses PAT (Personal Access Token) for GitHub
+
+## Key Technical Decisions
+
+### OAuth vs PAT
+
+**Current**: Personal Access Token per project
+- User creates PAT on GitHub
+- Copies to Noodl per project
+- Stored encrypted in GitStore
+
+**New (GIT-001)**: OAuth + PAT fallback
+- One-click GitHub OAuth
+- Token stored globally
+- PAT remains for non-GitHub remotes
+
+### Status Checking Strategy
+
+**Approach**: Batch + Cache
+- Check multiple projects in parallel
+- Cache results with TTL
+- Background refresh
+
+**Why**: Git status requires opening each repo, which is slow. Caching makes dashboard responsive while keeping data fresh.
+
+### Auto-Initialization
+
+**Approach**: Opt-out
+- Git initialized by default
+- Initial commit created automatically
+- Can disable in settings
+
+**Why**: Most users benefit from version control. Making it default reduces "I lost my work" issues.
+
+## Services to Create
+
+| Service | Location | Purpose |
+|---------|----------|---------|
+| GitHubOAuthService | noodl-editor/services | OAuth flow, token management |
+| GitHubApiClient | noodl-editor/services | GitHub REST API calls |
+| ProjectGitStatusService | noodl-editor/services | Batch status checking, caching |
+| CloneService | noodl-editor/services | Clone wrapper with progress |
+| CommitReminderService | noodl-editor/services | Periodic commit reminders |
+| ConflictResolutionService | noodl-editor/services | Conflict detection, resolution |
+
+## Components to Create
+
+| Component | Package | Purpose |
+|-----------|---------|---------|
+| GitHubConnectButton | noodl-core-ui | OAuth trigger button |
+| GitHubAccountCard | noodl-core-ui | Connected account display |
+| GitStatusBadge | noodl-core-ui | Status indicator in list |
+| CloneModal | noodl-core-ui | Clone flow modal |
+| RepoBrowser | noodl-core-ui | Repository list/search |
+| QuickCommitPopup | noodl-core-ui | Fast commit dialog |
+| SyncStatusHeader | noodl-core-ui | Editor header sync status |
+| BranchSelector | noodl-core-ui | Branch dropdown |
+| PullPreviewModal | noodl-core-ui | Preview before pull |
+
+## Dependencies
+
+### On DASH Series
+- GIT-002 → DASH-002 (project list for status display)
+- GIT-001 → DASH-001 (launcher context for account display)
+
+### External Packages
+May need:
+```json
+{
+  "@octokit/rest": "^20.0.0"  // GitHub API client (optional)
+}
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **OAuth Tokens**: Store with electron's safeStorage API
+2. **PKCE Flow**: Use PKCE for OAuth (no client secret in app)
+3. **Token Scope**: Request minimum necessary (repo, read:org, read:user)
+4. **Credential Cache**: Clear on logout/disconnect
+5. **PAT Fallback**: Encrypted per-project storage continues
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+- OAuth token exchange
+- Status calculation logic
+- Conflict detection
+- Default commit message generation
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Clone from public repo
+- Clone from private repo with auth
+- Push/pull with mock remote
+- Branch operations
+
+### Manual Testing
+- Full OAuth flow
+- Dashboard status refresh
+- Clone flow end-to-end
+- Commit reminder timing
+- Conflict resolution
+
+## Cline Usage Notes
+
+### Before Starting Each Task
+
+1. Read the task document completely
+2. Review existing git infrastructure:
+   - `packages/noodl-git/src/git.ts`
+   - `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/VersionControlPanel/`
+3. Check GitStore and credential handling
+
+### Key Gotchas
+
+1. **Git operations are async**: Always use try/catch, git can fail
+2. **Repository paths**: Use `_retainedProjectDirectory` from ProjectModel
+3. **Merge strategy**: Noodl has custom merge for project.json (`mergeProject`)
+4. **Auth caching**: Credentials cached by trampoline, may need clearing
+5. **Electron context**: Some git ops need main process (deep links)
+
+### Testing Git Operations
+
+```bash
+# In tests directory, run git tests
+npm run test:editor -- --grep="Git"
+```
+
+## Success Criteria (Series Complete)
+
+1. ✅ Users can authenticate with GitHub via OAuth
+2. ✅ Git status visible in project dashboard
+3. ✅ Users can clone repositories from UI
+4. ✅ New projects have git by default
+5. ✅ Users are reminded to commit regularly
+6. ✅ Pull/push is intuitive with previews
+7. ✅ Branch management is accessible
+
+## Future Work (Post-GIT)
+
+The GIT series enables:
+- **COMP series**: Shared component repositories
+- **DEPLOY series**: Auto-push to frontend repo on deploy
+- **Community features**: Public component sharing

+# COMP-001: Prefab System Refactoring
+
+## Overview
+
+Refactor the existing prefab system to support multiple sources (not just the docs endpoint). This creates the foundation for built-in prefabs, personal repositories, organization repositories, and community contributions.
+
+## Context
+
+The current prefab system is tightly coupled to the docs endpoint:
+- `ModuleLibraryModel` fetches from `${docsEndpoint}/library/prefabs/index.json`
+- Prefabs are zip files hosted on the docs site
+- No support for alternative sources
+
+This task creates an abstraction layer that allows prefabs to come from multiple sources while maintaining the existing user experience.
+
+### Current Architecture
+
+```
+User clicks "Clone" in NodePicker
+    ↓
+ModuleLibraryModel.installPrefab(url)
+    ↓
+getModuleTemplateRoot(url)  ← Downloads & extracts zip
+    ↓
+ProjectImporter.listComponentsAndDependencies()
+    ↓
+ProjectImporter.checkForCollisions()
+    ↓
+_showImportPopup() if collisions
+    ↓
+_doImport()
+```
+
+### Key Files
+
+- `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/modulelibrarymodel.ts`
+- `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/utils/projectimporter.js`
+- `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/NodePicker/`
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Source Abstraction**
+   - Define `PrefabSource` interface for different sources
+   - Support multiple sources simultaneously
+   - Each source provides: list, search, fetch, metadata
+
+2. **Source Types**
+   - `DocsSource` - Existing docs endpoint (default)
+   - `BuiltInSource` - Bundled with editor (COMP-002)
+   - `GitHubSource` - GitHub repositories (COMP-003+)
+   - `LocalSource` - Local filesystem (for development)
+
+3. **Unified Prefab Model**
+   - Consistent metadata across all sources
+   - Version information
+   - Source tracking (where did this come from?)
+   - Dependencies and requirements
+
+4. **Enhanced Metadata**
+   - Author information
+   - Version number
+   - Noodl version compatibility
+   - Screenshots/previews
+   - Changelog
+   - License
+
+5. **Backwards Compatibility**
+   - Existing prefabs continue to work
+   - No changes to user workflow
+   - Migration path for enhanced metadata
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Source fetching is async and non-blocking
+- Caching for performance
+- Graceful degradation if source unavailable
+- Extensible for future sources
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### 1. Prefab Source Interface
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/prefab/PrefabSource.ts
+
+interface PrefabMetadata {
+  id: string;
+  name: string;
+  description: string;
+  version: string;
+  author?: {
+    name: string;
+    email?: string;
+    url?: string;
+  };
+  noodlVersion?: string;  // Minimum compatible version
+  tags: string[];
+  icon?: string;
+  screenshots?: string[];
+  docs?: string;
+  license?: string;
+  repository?: string;
+  dependencies?: string[];  // Other prefabs this depends on
+  createdAt?: string;
+  updatedAt?: string;
+}
+
+interface PrefabSourceConfig {
+  id: string;
+  name: string;
+  priority: number;  // Higher = shown first
+  enabled: boolean;
+}
+
+interface PrefabSource {
+  readonly config: PrefabSourceConfig;
+  
+  // Lifecycle
+  initialize(): Promise<void>;
+  dispose(): void;
+  
+  // Listing
+  listPrefabs(): Promise<PrefabMetadata[]>;
+  searchPrefabs(query: string): Promise<PrefabMetadata[]>;
+  
+  // Fetching
+  getPrefabDetails(id: string): Promise<PrefabMetadata>;
+  downloadPrefab(id: string): Promise<string>;  // Returns local path to extracted content
+  
+  // State
+  isAvailable(): boolean;
+  getLastError(): Error | null;
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Source Implementations
+
+```typescript
+// DocsSource - existing functionality wrapped
+class DocsPrefabSource implements PrefabSource {
+  config = {
+    id: 'docs',
+    name: 'Community Prefabs',
+    priority: 50,
+    enabled: true
+  };
+  
+  async listPrefabs(): Promise<PrefabMetadata[]> {
+    // Existing fetch logic from ModuleLibraryModel
+    const endpoint = getDocsEndpoint();
+    const response = await fetch(`${endpoint}/library/prefabs/index.json`);
+    const items = await response.json();
+    
+    // Transform to new metadata format
+    return items.map(item => this.transformLegacyItem(item));
+  }
+  
+  private transformLegacyItem(item: IModule): PrefabMetadata {
+    return {
+      id: `docs:${item.label}`,
+      name: item.label,
+      description: item.desc,
+      version: '1.0.0',  // Legacy items don't have versions
+      tags: item.tags || [],
+      icon: item.icon,
+      docs: item.docs
+    };
+  }
+}
+
+// BuiltInSource - for COMP-002
+class BuiltInPrefabSource implements PrefabSource {
+  config = {
+    id: 'builtin',
+    name: 'Built-in Prefabs',
+    priority: 100,
+    enabled: true
+  };
+  
+  // Implementation in COMP-002
+}
+
+// GitHubSource - for COMP-003+
+class GitHubPrefabSource implements PrefabSource {
+  config = {
+    id: 'github',
+    name: 'GitHub',
+    priority: 75,
+    enabled: true
+  };
+  
+  constructor(private repoUrl: string) {}
+  
+  // Implementation in COMP-003
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Prefab Registry
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/prefab/PrefabRegistry.ts
+
+class PrefabRegistry {
+  private static instance: PrefabRegistry;
+  private sources: Map<string, PrefabSource> = new Map();
+  private cache: Map<string, PrefabMetadata[]> = new Map();
+  
+  // Source management
+  registerSource(source: PrefabSource): void;
+  unregisterSource(sourceId: string): void;
+  getSource(sourceId: string): PrefabSource | undefined;
+  getSources(): PrefabSource[];
+  
+  // Aggregated operations
+  async getAllPrefabs(): Promise<PrefabMetadata[]>;
+  async searchAllPrefabs(query: string): Promise<PrefabMetadata[]>;
+  
+  // Installation
+  async installPrefab(prefabId: string, options?: InstallOptions): Promise<void>;
+  
+  // Cache
+  invalidateCache(sourceId?: string): void;
+  
+  // Events
+  onSourcesChanged(callback: () => void): () => void;
+  onPrefabsUpdated(callback: () => void): () => void;
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Updated ModuleLibraryModel
+
+```typescript
+// Refactored to use PrefabRegistry
+
+export class ModuleLibraryModel extends Model {
+  private registry: PrefabRegistry;
+  
+  constructor() {
+    super();
+    
+    this.registry = PrefabRegistry.instance;
+    
+    // Register default sources
+    this.registry.registerSource(new DocsPrefabSource());
+    this.registry.registerSource(new BuiltInPrefabSource());
+    
+    // Listen for updates
+    this.registry.onPrefabsUpdated(() => {
+      this.notifyListeners('libraryUpdated');
+    });
+  }
+  
+  // Backwards compatible API
+  get prefabs(): IModule[] {
+    return this.registry.getAllPrefabsSync()
+      .map(p => this.transformToLegacy(p));
+  }
+  
+  async installPrefab(url: string, ...): Promise<void> {
+    // Detect source from URL or use legacy path
+    const prefabId = this.detectPrefabId(url);
+    await this.registry.installPrefab(prefabId);
+  }
+}
+```

+# COMP-002: Built-in Prefabs
+
+## Overview
+
+Bundle essential prefabs directly with the OpenNoodl editor, so they're available immediately without network access. This improves the onboarding experience and ensures core functionality is always available.
+
+## Context
+
+Currently, all prefabs are fetched from the docs endpoint at runtime:
+- Requires network connectivity
+- Adds latency on first load
+- No prefabs available offline
+- New users see empty prefab library initially
+
+By bundling prefabs with the editor:
+- Instant availability
+- Works offline
+- Consistent experience for all users
+- Core prefabs versioned with editor releases
+
+### Existing Export/Import
+
+From `exportProjectComponents.ts` and `projectimporter.js`:
+- Components exported as zip files
+- Import handles collision detection
+- Styles, variants, resources included
+- Dependency tracking exists
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Built-in Prefab Bundle**
+   - Essential prefabs bundled in editor distribution
+   - Loaded from local filesystem, not network
+   - Versioned with editor releases
+
+2. **Prefab Selection**
+   - Form components (Input, Button, Checkbox, etc.)
+   - Layout helpers (Card, Modal, Drawer)
+   - Data utilities (REST caller, LocalStorage, etc.)
+   - Authentication flows (basic patterns)
+   - Navigation patterns
+
+3. **UI Distinction**
+   - "Built-in" badge on bundled prefabs
+   - Shown first in prefab list
+   - Separate section or filter option
+
+4. **Update Mechanism**
+   - Built-in prefabs update with editor
+   - No manual update needed
+   - Changelog visible for what's new
+
+5. **Offline First**
+   - Available immediately on fresh install
+   - No network request needed
+   - Graceful handling when docs unavailable
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Bundle size impact < 5MB
+- Load time < 500ms
+- No runtime network dependency
+- Works in air-gapped environments
+
+## Technical Approach
+

+    enabled: true
+  };
+  
+  private manifest: BuiltInManifest | null = null;
+  private basePath: string;
+  
+  async initialize(): Promise<void> {

+  private resolveIcon(iconPath: string): string {
+    return `file://${path.join(this.basePath, 'icons', iconPath)}`;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Build-time Prefab Bundling
+
+```typescript
+// scripts/bundle-prefabs.ts
+

+  };
+  
+  for (const source of prefabSources) {
+    const metadata = await readPrefabMetadata(source);
+    const outputPath = path.join(OUTPUT_DIR, metadata.id);
+    
+    await exportPrefabComponents(source, outputPath);
+    
+    manifest.prefabs.push({

+      path: metadata.id
+    });
+  }
+  
+  await writeManifest(manifest);
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Prefab Categories
+
+```typescript

+# COMP-003: Component Export to Repository
+
+## Overview
+
+Enable users to export components from their project to a GitHub repository, creating a personal component library. This allows sharing components across projects and with team members.
+
+## Context
+
+Currently, component sharing is manual:
+1. Export components as zip (Cmd+Shift+E)
+2. Manually upload to GitHub or share file
+3. Others download and import
+
+This task streamlines the process:
+1. Right-click component → "Export to Repository"
+2. Select target repository
+3. Component is committed with metadata
+4. Available in NodePicker for other projects
+
+### Existing Export Flow
+
+From `exportProjectComponents.ts`:
+```typescript
+export function exportProjectComponents() {
+  ProjectImporter.instance.listComponentsAndDependencies(
+    ProjectModel.instance._retainedProjectDirectory,
+    (components) => {
+      // Shows export popup
+      // User selects components
+      // Creates zip file
+    }
+  );
+}
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Export Entry Points**
+   - Right-click component → "Export to Repository"
+   - Component sheet context menu → "Export Sheet to Repository"
+   - File menu → "Export Components to Repository"
+
+2. **Repository Selection**
+   - List user's GitHub repositories
+   - "Create new repository" option
+   - Remember last used repository
+   - Suggest `noodl-components` naming convention
+
+3. **Component Selection**
+   - Select individual components
+   - Select entire sheets
+   - Auto-select dependencies
+   - Preview what will be exported
+
+4. **Metadata Entry**
+   - Component name (prefilled)
+   - Description
+   - Tags
+   - Version (auto-increment option)
+   - Category selection
+
+5. **Export Process**
+   - Create component directory structure
+   - Generate prefab.json manifest
+   - Commit to repository
+   - Optional: Push immediately or stage
+
+6. **Repository Structure**
+   - Standard directory layout
+   - index.json manifest for discovery
+   - README generation
+   - License file option
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Export completes in < 30 seconds
+- Works with existing repositories
+- Handles large components (100+ nodes)
+- Conflict detection with existing exports
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### 1. Repository Structure Convention
+
+```
+my-noodl-components/
+├── index.json                    # Repository manifest
+├── README.md                     # Auto-generated docs
+├── LICENSE                       # Optional license
+└── components/
+    ├── my-button/
+    │   ├── prefab.json          # Component metadata
+    │   ├── component.ndjson     # Noodl component data
+    │   ├── dependencies/        # Style/variant dependencies
+    │   └── assets/              # Images, fonts
+    ├── my-card/
+    │   └── ...
+    └── my-form/
+        └── ...
+```
+
+### 2. Repository Manifest (index.json)
+
+```json
+{
+  "$schema": "https://opennoodl.net/schemas/component-repo-v1.json",
+  "name": "My Noodl Components",
+  "description": "Personal component library",

+      "category": "Forms"
+    }
+  ],
+  "updatedAt": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z"
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Component Export Service
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/ComponentExportService.ts
+
+interface ExportOptions {
+  components: ComponentModel[];
+  repository: GitHubRepo;
+  metadata: {
+    description: string;
+    tags: string[];
+    category: string;
+    version?: string;
+  };
+  commitMessage?: string;
+  pushImmediately?: boolean;
+}
+
+interface ExportResult {
+  success: boolean;
+  exportedComponents: string[];
+  commitSha?: string;
+  error?: string;
+}
+
+class ComponentExportService {
+  private static instance: ComponentExportService;
+  
+  // Export flow
+  async exportToRepository(options: ExportOptions): Promise<ExportResult>;
+  
+  // Repository management
+  async listUserRepositories(): Promise<GitHubRepo[]>;
+  async createComponentRepository(name: string): Promise<GitHubRepo>;
+  async validateRepository(repo: GitHubRepo): Promise<boolean>;
+  
+  // Component preparation
+  async prepareExport(components: ComponentModel[]): Promise<ExportPackage>;
+  async resolveExportDependencies(components: ComponentModel[]): Promise<ComponentModel[]>;
+  
+  // File generation
+  generatePrefabManifest(component: ComponentModel, metadata: ExportMetadata): PrefabManifest;
+  generateRepoManifest(repo: GitHubRepo, components: PrefabManifest[]): RepoManifest;
+  generateReadme(repo: GitHubRepo, components: PrefabManifest[]): string;
+}
+```

+# COMP-004: Organization Components Repository
+
+## Overview
+
+Enable teams to share a central component repository at the organization level. When a user belongs to a GitHub organization, they can access shared components from that org's component repository, creating a design system that's consistent across all team projects.
+
+## Context
+
+Individual developers can export components to personal repos (COMP-003), but teams need:
+- Shared component library accessible to all org members
+- Consistent design system across projects
+- Centralized component governance
+- Version control for team components
+
+This task adds organization-level component repositories to the prefab source system.
+
+### Organization Flow
+
+```
+User authenticates with GitHub (GIT-001)
+    ↓
+System detects user's organizations
+    ↓
+For each org, check for `noodl-components` repo
+    ↓
+Register as prefab source if found
+    ↓
+Components appear in NodePicker
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Organization Detection**
+   - Detect user's GitHub organizations
+   - Check for component repository in each org
+   - Support custom repo names (configurable)
+   - Handle multiple organizations
+
+2. **Repository Discovery**
+   - Auto-detect `{org}/noodl-components` repos
+   - Validate repository structure
+   - Read repository manifest
+   - Cache organization components
+
+3. **Component Access**
+   - List org components in NodePicker
+   - Show org badge on components
+   - Filter by organization
+   - Search across all org repos
+
+4. **Permission Handling**
+   - Respect GitHub permissions
+   - Handle private repositories
+   - Clear error messages for access issues
+   - Re-auth prompt when needed
+
+5. **Organization Settings**
+   - Enable/disable specific org repos
+   - Priority ordering between orgs
+   - Refresh/sync controls
+   - View org repo on GitHub
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Org components load within 3 seconds
+- Cached for offline use after first load
+- Handles orgs with 100+ components
+- Works with GitHub Enterprise (future)
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### 1. Organization Prefab Source
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/prefab/sources/OrganizationPrefabSource.ts
+
+interface OrganizationConfig {
+  orgName: string;
+  repoName: string;
+  enabled: boolean;
+  priority: number;
+}
+
+class OrganizationPrefabSource implements PrefabSource {
+  config: PrefabSourceConfig;
+  
+  constructor(private orgConfig: OrganizationConfig) {
+    this.config = {
+      id: `org:${orgConfig.orgName}`,
+      name: orgConfig.orgName,
+      priority: orgConfig.priority,
+      enabled: orgConfig.enabled
+    };
+  }
+  
+  async initialize(): Promise<void> {
+    // Verify repo access
+    const hasAccess = await this.verifyRepoAccess();
+    if (!hasAccess) {
+      throw new PrefabSourceError('No access to organization repository');
+    }
+    
+    // Load manifest
+    await this.loadManifest();
+  }
+  
+  async listPrefabs(): Promise<PrefabMetadata[]> {
+    const manifest = await this.getManifest();
+    return manifest.components.map(c => ({
+      ...c,
+      id: `org:${this.orgConfig.orgName}:${c.id}`,
+      source: 'organization',
+      organization: this.orgConfig.orgName
+    }));
+  }
+  
+  async downloadPrefab(id: string): Promise<string> {
+    // Clone specific component from repo
+    const componentPath = this.getComponentPath(id);
+    return await this.downloadFromGitHub(componentPath);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Organization Discovery Service
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/OrganizationService.ts
+
+interface Organization {
+  name: string;
+  displayName: string;
+  avatarUrl: string;
+  hasComponentRepo: boolean;
+  componentRepoUrl?: string;
+  memberCount?: number;
+}
+
+class OrganizationService {
+  private static instance: OrganizationService;
+  
+  // Discovery
+  async discoverOrganizations(): Promise<Organization[]>;
+  async checkForComponentRepo(orgName: string): Promise<boolean>;
+  async validateComponentRepo(orgName: string, repoName: string): Promise<boolean>;
+  
+  // Registration
+  async registerOrgSource(org: Organization): Promise<void>;
+  async unregisterOrgSource(orgName: string): Promise<void>;
+  
+  // Settings
+  getOrgSettings(orgName: string): OrganizationConfig;
+  updateOrgSettings(orgName: string, settings: Partial<OrganizationConfig>): void;
+  
+  // Refresh
+  async refreshOrgComponents(orgName: string): Promise<void>;
+  async refreshAllOrgs(): Promise<void>;
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Auto-Registration on Login
+
+```typescript
+// Integration with GitHub OAuth
+
+async function onGitHubAuthenticated(token: string): Promise<void> {
+  const orgService = OrganizationService.instance;
+  const registry = PrefabRegistry.instance;
+  
+  // Discover user's organizations
+  const orgs = await orgService.discoverOrganizations();
+  
+  for (const org of orgs) {
+    // Check for component repo
+    const hasRepo = await orgService.checkForComponentRepo(org.name);
+    
+    if (hasRepo) {
+      // Register as prefab source
+      const source = new OrganizationPrefabSource({
+        orgName: org.name,
+        repoName: 'noodl-components',
+        enabled: true,
+        priority: 80  // Below built-in, above docs
+      });
+      
+      registry.registerSource(source);
+    }
+  }
+}
+```

+# COMP-005: Component Import with Version Control
+
+## Overview
+
+Track the source and version of imported components, enabling update notifications, selective updates, and clear understanding of component provenance. When a component is imported from a repository, remember where it came from and notify users when updates are available.
+
+## Context
+
+Currently, imported components lose connection to their source:
+- No tracking of where component came from
+- No awareness of available updates
+- No way to re-sync with source
+- Manual process to check for new versions
+
+This task adds version tracking and update management:
+- Track component source (built-in, org, personal, docs)
+- Store version information
+- Check for updates periodically
+- Enable selective component updates
+
+### Import Flow Today
+
+```
+User clicks "Clone" → Component imported → No source tracking
+```
+
+### Import Flow After This Task
+
+```
+User clicks "Clone" → Component imported → Source/version tracked
+    ↓
+Background: Check for updates periodically
+    ↓
+Notification: "2 components have updates available"
+    ↓
+User reviews and selects updates
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Source Tracking**
+   - Record source repository/location for each import
+   - Store version at time of import
+   - Track import timestamp
+   - Handle components without source (legacy)
+
+2. **Version Information**
+   - Display current version in component panel
+   - Show source badge (Built-in, Org name, etc.)
+   - Link to source documentation
+   - View changelog
+
+3. **Update Detection**
+   - Background check for available updates
+   - Badge/indicator for components with updates
+   - List all updatable components
+   - Compare current vs available version
+
+4. **Update Process**
+   - Preview what changes in update
+   - Selective update (choose which to update)
+   - Backup current before update
+   - Rollback option if update fails
+
+5. **Import Metadata Storage**
+   - Store in project metadata
+   - Survive project export/import
+   - Handle renamed components
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Update check < 5 seconds
+- No performance impact on project load
+- Works offline (shows cached status)
+- Handles 100+ tracked components
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### 1. Import Metadata Schema
+
+```typescript
+// Stored in project.json metadata
+interface ComponentImportMetadata {
+  components: ImportedComponent[];
+  lastUpdateCheck: string;  // ISO timestamp
+}
+
+interface ImportedComponent {
+  componentId: string;       // Internal Noodl component ID
+  componentName: string;     // Display name at import time
+  source: ComponentSource;
+  importedVersion: string;
+  importedAt: string;        // ISO timestamp
+  lastUpdatedAt?: string;    // When user last updated
+  updateAvailable?: string;  // Available version if any
+  checksum?: string;         // For detecting local modifications
+}
+
+interface ComponentSource {
+  type: 'builtin' | 'organization' | 'personal' | 'docs' | 'unknown';
+  repository?: string;       // GitHub repo URL
+  organization?: string;     // Org name if type is 'organization'
+  prefabId: string;          // ID in source manifest
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Import Tracking Service
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/ComponentTrackingService.ts
+
+class ComponentTrackingService {
+  private static instance: ComponentTrackingService;
+  
+  // On import
+  async trackImport(
+    componentId: string,
+    source: ComponentSource,
+    version: string
+  ): Promise<void>;
+  
+  // Queries
+  getImportedComponents(): ImportedComponent[];
+  getComponentSource(componentId: string): ComponentSource | null;
+  getComponentsWithUpdates(): ImportedComponent[];
+  
+  // Update checking
+  async checkForUpdates(): Promise<UpdateCheckResult>;
+  async checkComponentUpdate(componentId: string): Promise<UpdateInfo | null>;
+  
+  // Update application
+  async updateComponent(componentId: string): Promise<UpdateResult>;
+  async updateAllComponents(componentIds: string[]): Promise<UpdateResult[]>;
+  async rollbackUpdate(componentId: string): Promise<void>;
+  
+  // Metadata
+  async saveMetadata(): Promise<void>;
+  async loadMetadata(): Promise<void>;
+}
+
+interface UpdateCheckResult {
+  checked: number;
+  updatesAvailable: number;
+  components: {
+    componentId: string;
+    currentVersion: string;
+    availableVersion: string;
+    changelogUrl?: string;
+  }[];
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Update Check Process
+
+```typescript
+async checkForUpdates(): Promise<UpdateCheckResult> {
+  const imported = this.getImportedComponents();
+  const result: UpdateCheckResult = {
+    checked: 0,
+    updatesAvailable: 0,
+    components: []
+  };
+  
+  // Group by source for efficient checking
+  const bySource = groupBy(imported, c => c.source.repository);
+  
+  for (const [repo, components] of Object.entries(bySource)) {
+    const source = PrefabRegistry.instance.getSource(repo);
+    if (!source) continue;
+    
+    // Fetch latest manifest
+    const manifest = await source.getManifest();
+    
+    for (const component of components) {
+      result.checked++;
+      
+      const latest = manifest.components.find(
+        c => c.id === component.source.prefabId
+      );
+      
+      if (latest && semver.gt(latest.version, component.importedVersion)) {
+        result.updatesAvailable++;
+        result.components.push({
+          componentId: component.componentId,
+          currentVersion: component.importedVersion,
+          availableVersion: latest.version,
+          changelogUrl: latest.changelog
+        });
+        
+        // Update metadata
+        component.updateAvailable = latest.version;
+      }
+    }
+  }
+  
+  await this.saveMetadata();
+  return result;
+}
+```

+# COMP-006: Component Forking & PR Workflow
+
+## Overview
+
+Enable users to fork imported components, make modifications, and contribute changes back to the source repository via pull requests. This creates a collaborative component ecosystem where improvements can flow back to the team or community.
+
+## Context
+
+With COMP-005, users can import components and track their source. But when they need to modify a component:
+- Modifications are local only
+- No way to share improvements back
+- No way to propose changes to org components
+- Forked components lose connection to source
+
+This task enables:
+- Fork components with upstream tracking
+- Local modifications tracked separately
+- Contribute changes via PR workflow
+- Merge upstream updates into forked components
+
+### Forking Flow
+
+```
+Import component (COMP-005)
+    ↓
+User modifies component
+    ↓
+System detects local modifications ("forked")
+    ↓
+User can:
+  - Submit PR to upstream
+  - Merge upstream updates into fork
+  - Revert to upstream version
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Fork Detection**
+   - Detect when imported component is modified
+   - Mark as "forked" in tracking metadata
+   - Track original vs modified state
+   - Calculate diff from upstream
+
+2. **Fork Management**
+   - View fork status in component panel
+   - See what changed from upstream
+   - Option to "unfork" (reset to upstream)
+   - Maintain fork while pulling upstream updates
+
+3. **PR Creation**
+   - "Contribute Back" action on forked components
+   - Opens PR creation flow
+   - Exports component changes
+   - Creates branch in upstream repo
+   - Opens GitHub PR interface
+
+4. **Upstream Sync**
+   - Pull upstream changes into fork
+   - Merge or rebase local changes
+   - Conflict detection
+   - Selective merge (choose what to pull)
+
+5. **Visual Indicators**
+   - "Forked" badge on modified components
+   - "Modified from v2.1.0" indicator
+   - Diff count ("3 changes")
+   - PR status if submitted
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Fork detection < 1 second
+- Diff calculation < 3 seconds
+- Works with large components (100+ nodes)
+- No performance impact on editing
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### 1. Fork Tracking Extension
+
+```typescript
+// Extension to COMP-005 ImportedComponent
+interface ImportedComponent {
+  // ... existing fields ...
+  
+  // Fork tracking
+  isFork: boolean;
+  forkStatus?: ForkStatus;
+  originalChecksum?: string;     // Checksum at import time
+  currentChecksum?: string;      // Checksum of current state
+  upstreamVersion?: string;      // Latest upstream version
+  
+  // PR tracking
+  activePR?: {
+    number: number;
+    url: string;
+    status: 'open' | 'merged' | 'closed';
+    branch: string;
+  };
+}
+
+interface ForkStatus {
+  changesCount: number;
+  lastModified: string;
+  canMergeUpstream: boolean;
+  hasConflicts: boolean;
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Fork Detection Service
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/ComponentForkService.ts
+
+class ComponentForkService {
+  private static instance: ComponentForkService;
+  
+  // Fork detection
+  async detectForks(): Promise<ForkDetectionResult>;
+  async isComponentForked(componentId: string): Promise<boolean>;
+  async calculateDiff(componentId: string): Promise<ComponentDiff>;
+  
+  // Fork management
+  async markAsForked(componentId: string): Promise<void>;
+  async unfork(componentId: string): Promise<void>;  // Reset to upstream
+  
+  // Upstream sync
+  async canMergeUpstream(componentId: string): Promise<MergeCheck>;
+  async mergeUpstream(componentId: string): Promise<MergeResult>;
+  async previewMerge(componentId: string): Promise<MergePreview>;
+  
+  // PR workflow
+  async createContribution(componentId: string): Promise<ContributionResult>;
+  async checkPRStatus(componentId: string): Promise<PRStatus>;
+  
+  // Diff/comparison
+  async exportDiff(componentId: string): Promise<ComponentDiff>;
+  async compareWithUpstream(componentId: string): Promise<ComparisonResult>;
+}
+
+interface ComponentDiff {
+  componentId: string;
+  changes: Change[];
+  nodesAdded: number;
+  nodesRemoved: number;
+  nodesModified: number;
+  propertiesChanged: number;
+}
+
+interface Change {
+  type: 'added' | 'removed' | 'modified';
+  path: string;  // Path in component tree
+  description: string;
+  before?: any;
+  after?: any;
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Checksum Calculation
+
+```typescript
+// Calculate stable checksum for component state
+function calculateComponentChecksum(component: ComponentModel): string {
+  // Serialize component in stable order
+  const serialized = stableSerialize({
+    nodes: component.nodes.map(serializeNode),
+    connections: component.connections.map(serializeConnection),
+    properties: component.properties,
+    // Exclude metadata that changes (ids, timestamps)
+  });
+  
+  return crypto.createHash('sha256').update(serialized).digest('hex');
+}
+
+// Detect if component was modified
+async function detectModification(componentId: string): Promise<boolean> {
+  const metadata = ComponentTrackingService.instance.getComponentSource(componentId);
+  if (!metadata?.originalChecksum) return false;
+  
+  const component = ProjectModel.instance.getComponentWithId(componentId);
+  const currentChecksum = calculateComponentChecksum(component);
+  
+  return currentChecksum !== metadata.originalChecksum;
+}
+```
+
+### 4. PR Creation Flow
+
+```typescript
+async createContribution(componentId: string): Promise<ContributionResult> {
+  const tracking = ComponentTrackingService.instance;
+  const metadata = tracking.getComponentSource(componentId);
+  
+  if (!metadata?.source.repository) {
+    throw new Error('Cannot contribute: no upstream repository');
+  }
+  
+  // 1. Export modified component
+  const component = ProjectModel.instance.getComponentWithId(componentId);
+  const exportedFiles = await exportComponent(component);
+  
+  // 2. Create branch in upstream repo
+  const branchName = `component-update/${metadata.componentName}-${Date.now()}`;
+  const github = GitHubApiClient.instance;
+  
+  await github.createBranch(
+    metadata.source.repository,
+    branchName,
+    'main'
+  );
+  
+  // 3. Commit changes to branch
+  await github.commitFiles(
+    metadata.source.repository,
+    branchName,
+    exportedFiles,
+    `Update ${metadata.componentName} component`
+  );
+  
+  // 4. Create PR
+  const pr = await github.createPullRequest(
+    metadata.source.repository,
+    {
+      title: `Update ${metadata.componentName} component`,
+      body: generatePRDescription(metadata, exportedFiles),
+      head: branchName,
+      base: 'main'
+    }
+  );
+  
+  // 5. Track PR in metadata
+  metadata.activePR = {
+    number: pr.number,
+    url: pr.html_url,
+    status: 'open',
+    branch: branchName
+  };
+  await tracking.saveMetadata();
+  
+  return {
+    success: true,
+    prUrl: pr.html_url,
+    prNumber: pr.number
+  };
+}
+```

+# COMP Series: Shared Component System
+
+## Overview
+
+The COMP series transforms Noodl's component sharing from manual zip file exchanges into a modern, Git-based collaborative ecosystem. Teams can share design systems via organization repositories, individuals can build personal component libraries, and improvements can flow back upstream via pull requests.
+
+## Target Environment
+
+- **Editor**: React 19 version only
+- **Runtime**: Not affected (components work in any runtime)
+- **Backwards Compatibility**: Existing prefabs continue to work
+
+## Task Dependency Graph

+
+## Existing Infrastructure
+
+### ModuleLibraryModel
+
+```typescript
+// Current implementation
+class ModuleLibraryModel {
+  modules: IModule[];    // External libraries
+  prefabs: IModule[];    // Component bundles
+  
+  fetchModules(type: 'modules' | 'prefabs'): Promise<IModule[]>;
+  installModule(path: string): Promise<void>;
+  installPrefab(path: string): Promise<void>;
+}
+```
+
+### ProjectImporter
+
+```typescript
+// Handles actual component import
+class ProjectImporter {
+  listComponentsAndDependencies(dir, callback);
+  checkForCollisions(imports, callback);
+  import(dir, imports, callback);
+}
+```
+
+### NodePicker
+
+```
+packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/NodePicker/
+├── NodePicker.tsx           # Main component
+├── NodePicker.context.tsx   # State management
+├── tabs/
+│   ├── NodeLibrary/         # Built-in nodes
+│   ├── NodePickerSearchView/ # Prefabs & modules
+│   └── ImportFromProject/   # Import from other project
+└── components/
+    └── ModuleCard/          # Prefab/module display card
+```
+
+### Export Functionality
+
+```typescript
+// exportProjectComponents.ts
+export function exportProjectComponents() {
+  // Shows export popup
+  // User selects components
+  // Creates zip file with dependencies
+}
+```
+
+## New Architecture
+
+### PrefabRegistry (COMP-001)
+
+Central hub for all prefab sources:
+
+```typescript
+class PrefabRegistry {
+  private sources: Map<string, PrefabSource>;
+  
+  registerSource(source: PrefabSource): void;
+  getAllPrefabs(): Promise<PrefabMetadata[]>;
+  installPrefab(id: string): Promise<void>;
+}
+```
+
+### Source Types
+
+| Source | Priority | Description |
+|--------|----------|-------------|
+| BuiltInPrefabSource | 100 | Bundled with editor |
+| OrganizationPrefabSource | 80 | Team component repos |
+| PersonalPrefabSource | 70 | User's own repos |
+| DocsPrefabSource | 50 | Community prefabs |
+
+### Component Tracking (COMP-005)
+
+```typescript
+interface ImportedComponent {
+  componentId: string;
+  source: ComponentSource;
+  importedVersion: string;
+  isFork: boolean;
+  updateAvailable?: string;
+  activePR?: PRInfo;
+}
+```
+
+## Repository Structure Convention
+
+All component repositories follow this structure:
+
+```
+noodl-components/
+├── index.json              # Repository manifest
+├── README.md               # Documentation
+├── LICENSE                 # License file
+└── components/
+    ├── component-name/
+    │   ├── prefab.json     # Component metadata
+    │   ├── component.ndjson # Component data
+    │   ├── dependencies/   # Styles, variants
+    │   └── assets/         # Images, fonts
+    └── ...
+```
+
+### Manifest Format (index.json)
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "Acme Design System",
+  "version": "2.1.0",
+  "noodlVersion": ">=2.10.0",
+  "components": [
+    {
+      "id": "acme-button",
+      "name": "Acme Button",
+      "version": "2.1.0",
+      "path": "components/acme-button"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Key User Flows
+
+### 1. Team Member Imports Org Component
+
+```
+User opens NodePicker
+    ↓
+Sees "Acme Corp" section with org components
+    ↓
+Clicks "Clone" on AcmeButton
+    ↓
+Component imported, source tracked
+    ↓
+Later: notification "AcmeButton update available"
+```
+
+### 2. Developer Shares Component
+
+```
+User right-clicks component
+    ↓
+Selects "Export to Repository"
+    ↓
+Chooses personal repo or org repo
+    ↓
+Fills metadata (description, tags)
+    ↓
+Component committed and pushed
+```
+
+### 3. Developer Improves Org Component
+
+```
+User modifies imported AcmeButton
+    ↓
+System detects fork, shows badge
+    ↓
+User right-clicks → "Contribute Changes"
+    ↓
+PR created in org repo
+    ↓
+Team reviews and merges
+```
+
+## Services to Create
+
+| Service | Purpose |
+|---------|---------|
+| PrefabRegistry | Central source management |
+| ComponentTrackingService | Import/version tracking |
+| ComponentExportService | Export to repositories |
+| OrganizationService | Org detection & management |
+| ComponentForkService | Fork detection & PR workflow |
+
+## UI Components to Create
+
+| Component | Location | Purpose |

+| ComponentUpdatesModal | noodl-core-ui | Update selection |
+| ComponentDiffModal | noodl-core-ui | View changes |
+| CreatePRModal | noodl-core-ui | PR creation |
+| OrganizationSettings | noodl-core-ui | Org repo settings |
+
+## Dependencies on Other Series
+
+### Required from GIT Series
+- GIT-001 (GitHub OAuth) - Required for COMP-003, COMP-004
+
+### Enables for Future
+- Community marketplace
+- Component ratings/reviews
+- Usage analytics
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+- Source registration
+- Metadata parsing
+- Checksum calculation
+- Version comparison
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Full import flow
+- Export to repo flow
+- Update detection
+- PR creation
+
+### Manual Testing
+- Multiple organizations
+- Large component libraries
+- Offline scenarios
+- Permission edge cases
+
+## Cline Usage Notes
+
+### Before Starting Each Task
+
+1. Read task document completely
+2. Review existing prefab system:
+   - `modulelibrarymodel.ts`
+   - `projectimporter.js`
+   - `NodePicker/` views
+3. Understand export flow:
+   - `exportProjectComponents.ts`
+
+### Key Gotchas
+
+1. **Singleton Pattern**: `ModuleLibraryModel.instance` is used everywhere
+2. **Async Import**: Import process is callback-based, not Promise
+3. **Collision Handling**: Existing collision detection must be preserved
+4. **File Paths**: Components use relative paths internally
+
+### Testing Prefabs
+
+```bash
+# Run editor tests
+npm run test:editor
+
+# Manual: Open NodePicker, try importing prefab
+```
+
+## Success Criteria (Series Complete)
+
+1. ✅ Multiple prefab sources supported
+2. ✅ Built-in prefabs available offline
+3. ✅ Components exportable to GitHub
+4. ✅ Organization repos auto-detected
+5. ✅ Import source/version tracked
+6. ✅ Updates detected and installable
+7. ✅ Forks can create PRs upstream
+
+## Future Work (Post-COMP)
+
+The COMP series enables:
+- **Marketplace**: Paid/free component marketplace
+- **Analytics**: Usage tracking per component
+- **Ratings**: Community ratings and reviews
+- **Templates**: Project templates from components
+- **Subscriptions**: Organization component subscriptions

+# AI-001: AI Project Scaffolding
+
+## Overview
+
+Enable users to describe their project idea in natural language and have AI generate a complete project scaffold with pages, components, data models, and basic styling. This transforms the "blank canvas" experience into an intelligent starting point.
+
+## Context
+
+Currently, project creation offers:
+- Blank "Hello World" template
+- Pre-built template gallery (limited selection)
+- Manual component-by-component building
+
+New users face a steep learning curve:
+- Don't know where to start
+- Overwhelmed by node options
+- No guidance on structure
+
+AI scaffolding provides:
+- Describe idea → Get working structure
+- Industry best practices baked in
+- Learning through example
+- Faster time-to-prototype
+
+### Existing Infrastructure
+
+From `AiAssistantModel.ts`:
+```typescript
+// Existing AI templates
+docsTemplates = [
+  { label: 'REST API', template: 'rest' },
+  { label: 'Form Validation', template: 'function-form-validation' },
+  { label: 'AI Function', template: 'function' },
+  // ...
+]
+```
+
+From `TemplateRegistry`:
+```typescript
+// Download and extract project templates
+templateRegistry.download({ templateUrl }) → zipPath
+```
+
+From `LocalProjectsModel`:
+```typescript
+// Create new project from template
+newProject(callback, { name, path, projectTemplate })
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Natural Language Input**
+   - Free-form text description of project
+   - Example prompts for inspiration
+   - Clarifying questions from AI
+   - Refinement through conversation
+
+2. **Project Analysis**
+   - Identify project type (app, dashboard, form, etc.)
+   - Extract features and functionality
+   - Determine data models needed
+   - Suggest appropriate structure
+
+3. **Scaffold Generation**
+   - Create page structure
+   - Generate component hierarchy
+   - Set up navigation flow
+   - Create placeholder data models
+   - Apply appropriate styling
+
+4. **Preview & Refinement**
+   - Preview generated structure before creation
+   - Modify/refine via chat
+   - Accept or regenerate parts
+   - Explain what was generated
+
+5. **Project Creation**
+   - Create actual Noodl project
+   - Import generated components
+   - Set up routing/navigation
+   - Open in editor
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Generation completes in < 30 seconds
+- Works with Claude API (Anthropic)
+- Graceful handling of API errors
+- Clear progress indication
+- Cost-effective token usage
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### 1. AI Scaffolding Service
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/AiScaffoldingService.ts
+
+interface ProjectDescription {
+  rawText: string;
+  clarifications?: Record<string, string>;
+}
+
+interface ScaffoldResult {
+  projectType: ProjectType;
+  pages: PageDefinition[];
+  components: ComponentDefinition[];
+  dataModels: DataModelDefinition[];
+  navigation: NavigationDefinition;
+  styling: StylingDefinition;
+  explanation: string;
+}
+
+interface PageDefinition {
+  name: string;
+  route: string;
+  description: string;
+  components: string[];  // Component names used
+  layout: 'stack' | 'grid' | 'sidebar' | 'tabs';
+}
+
+interface ComponentDefinition {
+  name: string;
+  type: 'visual' | 'logic' | 'data';
+  description: string;
+  inputs: PortDefinition[];
+  outputs: PortDefinition[];
+  children?: ComponentDefinition[];
+  prefab?: string;  // Use existing prefab if available
+}
+
+class AiScaffoldingService {
+  private static instance: AiScaffoldingService;
+  
+  // Main flow
+  async analyzeDescription(description: string): Promise<AnalysisResult>;
+  async generateScaffold(description: ProjectDescription): Promise<ScaffoldResult>;
+  async refineScaffold(scaffold: ScaffoldResult, feedback: string): Promise<ScaffoldResult>;
+  
+  // Project creation
+  async createProject(scaffold: ScaffoldResult, name: string, path: string): Promise<ProjectModel>;
+  
+  // Conversation
+  async askClarification(description: string): Promise<ClarificationQuestion[]>;
+  async chat(messages: ChatMessage[]): Promise<ChatResponse>;
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Prompt Engineering
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/ai/prompts/scaffolding.ts
+
+const SYSTEM_PROMPT = `You are an expert Noodl application architect. 
+Your task is to analyze project descriptions and generate detailed scaffolds
+for visual low-code applications.
+
+Noodl is a visual programming platform with:
+- Pages (screens/routes)
+- Components (reusable UI elements)
+- Nodes (visual programming blocks)
+- Data models (objects, arrays, variables)
+- Logic nodes (conditions, loops, functions)
+
+When generating scaffolds, consider:
+1. User experience and navigation flow
+2. Data management and state
+3. Reusability of components
+4. Mobile-first responsive design
+5. Performance and loading states
+
+Output JSON following the ScaffoldResult schema.`;
+
+const ANALYSIS_PROMPT = `Analyze this project description and identify:
+1. Project type (app, dashboard, form, e-commerce, etc.)
+2. Main features/functionality
+3. User roles/personas
+4. Data entities needed
+5. Key user flows
+6. Potential complexity areas
+
+Description: {description}`;
+
+const SCAFFOLD_PROMPT = `Generate a complete Noodl project scaffold for:
+
+Project Type: {projectType}
+Features: {features}
+Data Models: {dataModels}
+
+Create:
+1. Page structure with routes
+2. Component hierarchy
+3. Navigation flow
+4. Data model definitions
+5. Styling theme
+
+Use these available prefabs when appropriate:
+{availablePrefabs}`;
+```
+
+### 3. Scaffold to Project Converter
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/ai/ScaffoldConverter.ts
+
+class ScaffoldConverter {
+  // Convert scaffold definitions to actual Noodl components
+  async convertToProject(scaffold: ScaffoldResult): Promise<ProjectFiles> {
+    const project = new ProjectModel();
+    
+    // Create pages
+    for (const page of scaffold.pages) {
+      const pageComponent = await this.createPage(page);
+      project.addComponent(pageComponent);
+    }
+    
+    // Create reusable components
+    for (const component of scaffold.components) {
+      const comp = await this.createComponent(component);
+      project.addComponent(comp);
+    }
+    
+    // Set up navigation
+    await this.setupNavigation(project, scaffold.navigation);
+    
+    // Apply styling
+    await this.applyStyles(project, scaffold.styling);
+    
+    return project;
+  }
+  
+  private async createPage(page: PageDefinition): Promise<ComponentModel> {
+    // Create component with page layout
+    const component = ComponentModel.create({
+      name: page.name,
+      type: 'page'
+    });
+    
+    // Add layout container based on page.layout
+    const layout = this.createLayout(page.layout);
+    component.addChild(layout);
+    
+    // Add referenced components
+    for (const compName of page.components) {
+      const ref = this.createComponentReference(compName);
+      layout.addChild(ref);
+    }
+    
+    return component;
+  }
+  
+  private async createComponent(def: ComponentDefinition): Promise<ComponentModel> {
+    // Check if we can use a prefab
+    if (def.prefab) {
+      return await this.importPrefab(def.prefab, def);
+    }
+    
+    // Create custom component
+    const component = ComponentModel.create({
+      name: def.name,
+      type: def.type
+    });
+    
+    // Add ports
+    for (const input of def.inputs) {
+      component.addInput(input);
+    }
+    for (const output of def.outputs) {

+    }
+    
+    // Add children
+    if (def.children) {
+      for (const child of def.children) {
+        const childComp = await this.createComponent(child);
+        component.addChild(childComp);
+      }
+    }
+    
+    return component;
+  }
+}
+```
+

+# AI-002: AI Component Suggestions
+
+## Overview
+
+Provide intelligent, context-aware component suggestions as users build their projects. When a user is working on a component, AI analyzes the context and suggests relevant nodes, connections, or entire sub-components that would complement what they're building.
+
+## Context
+
+Currently, users must:
+- Know what node they need
+- Search through the node picker
+- Understand which nodes work together
+- Manually create common patterns
+
+This creates friction for:
+- New users learning the platform
+- Experienced users building repetitive patterns
+- Anyone implementing common UI patterns
+
+AI suggestions provide:
+- "What you might need next" recommendations
+- Common pattern recognition
+- Learning through suggestion
+- Faster workflow for experts
+
+### Integration with Existing AI
+
+From `AiAssistantModel.ts`:
+```typescript
+// Existing AI node templates
+templates: AiTemplate[] = docsTemplates.map(...)
+
+// Activity tracking
+addActivity({ id, type, title, prompt, node, graph })
+```
+
+This task extends the AI capabilities to work alongside normal editing, not just through dedicated AI nodes.
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Context Analysis**
+   - Analyze current component structure
+   - Identify incomplete patterns
+   - Detect user intent from recent actions
+   - Consider project-wide context
+
+2. **Suggestion Types**
+   - **Node suggestions**: "Add a Loading state?"
+   - **Connection suggestions**: "Connect this to..."
+   - **Pattern completion**: "Complete this form with validation?"
+   - **Prefab suggestions**: "Use the Form Input prefab?"
+
+3. **Suggestion Display**
+   - Non-intrusive inline hints
+   - Expandable detail panel
+   - One-click insertion
+   - Keyboard shortcuts
+
+4. **Learning & Relevance**
+   - Learn from user accepts/rejects
+   - Improve relevance over time
+   - Consider user skill level
+   - Avoid repetitive suggestions
+
+5. **Control & Settings**
+   - Enable/disable suggestions
+   - Suggestion frequency
+   - Types of suggestions
+   - Reset learned preferences
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Suggestions appear within 500ms
+- No blocking of user actions
+- Minimal API calls (batch/cache)
+- Works offline (basic patterns)
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### 1. Suggestion Service
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/AiSuggestionService.ts
+
+interface SuggestionContext {
+  component: ComponentModel;
+  selectedNodes: NodeGraphNode[];
+  recentActions: EditorAction[];
+  projectContext: ProjectContext;
+  userPreferences: UserPreferences;
+}
+
+interface Suggestion {
+  id: string;
+  type: 'node' | 'connection' | 'pattern' | 'prefab';
+  confidence: number;  // 0-1
+  title: string;
+  description: string;
+  preview?: string;  // Visual preview
+  action: SuggestionAction;
+  dismissable: boolean;
+}
+
+interface SuggestionAction {
+  type: 'insert_node' | 'create_connection' | 'insert_pattern' | 'import_prefab';
+  payload: any;
+}
+
+class AiSuggestionService {
+  private static instance: AiSuggestionService;
+  private suggestionCache: Map<string, Suggestion[]> = new Map();
+  private userFeedback: UserFeedbackStore;
+  
+  // Main API
+  async getSuggestions(context: SuggestionContext): Promise<Suggestion[]>;
+  async applySuggestion(suggestion: Suggestion): Promise<void>;
+  async dismissSuggestion(suggestion: Suggestion): Promise<void>;
+  
+  // Feedback
+  recordAccept(suggestion: Suggestion): void;
+  recordReject(suggestion: Suggestion): void;
+  recordIgnore(suggestion: Suggestion): void;
+  
+  // Settings
+  setEnabled(enabled: boolean): void;
+  setFrequency(frequency: SuggestionFrequency): void;
+  getSuggestionSettings(): SuggestionSettings;
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Context Analyzer
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/ai/ContextAnalyzer.ts
+
+interface AnalysisResult {
+  componentType: ComponentType;
+  currentPattern: Pattern | null;
+  incompletePatterns: IncompletePattern[];
+  missingConnections: MissingConnection[];
+  suggestedEnhancements: Enhancement[];
+}
+
+class ContextAnalyzer {
+  // Pattern detection
+  detectPatterns(component: ComponentModel): Pattern[];
+  detectIncompletePatterns(component: ComponentModel): IncompletePattern[];
+  
+  // Connection analysis
+  findMissingConnections(nodes: NodeGraphNode[]): MissingConnection[];
+  findOrphanedNodes(component: ComponentModel): NodeGraphNode[];
+  
+  // Intent inference
+  inferUserIntent(recentActions: EditorAction[]): UserIntent;
+  
+  // Project context
+  getRelatedComponents(component: ComponentModel): ComponentModel[];
+  getDataModelContext(component: ComponentModel): DataModel[];
+}
+
+// Common patterns to detect
+const PATTERNS = {
+  FORM_INPUT: {
+    nodes: ['TextInput', 'Label'],
+    missing: ['Validation', 'ErrorDisplay'],
+    suggestion: 'Add form validation?'
+  },
+  LIST_ITEM: {
+    nodes: ['Repeater', 'Group'],
+    missing: ['ItemClick', 'DeleteAction'],
+    suggestion: 'Add item interactions?'
+  },
+  DATA_FETCH: {
+    nodes: ['REST'],
+    missing: ['LoadingState', 'ErrorState'],
+    suggestion: 'Add loading and error states?'
+  },
+  // ... more patterns
+};
+```
+
+### 3. Suggestion Engine
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/ai/SuggestionEngine.ts
+
+class SuggestionEngine {
+  private contextAnalyzer: ContextAnalyzer;
+  private patternLibrary: PatternLibrary;
+  private prefabMatcher: PrefabMatcher;
+  
+  async generateSuggestions(context: SuggestionContext): Promise<Suggestion[]> {
+    const suggestions: Suggestion[] = [];
+    
+    // 1. Local pattern matching (no API)
+    const localSuggestions = this.getLocalSuggestions(context);
+    suggestions.push(...localSuggestions);
+    
+    // 2. AI-powered suggestions (API call)
+    if (this.shouldCallApi(context)) {
+      const aiSuggestions = await this.getAiSuggestions(context);
+      suggestions.push(...aiSuggestions);
+    }
+    
+    // 3. Prefab matching
+    const prefabSuggestions = this.getPrefabSuggestions(context);
+    suggestions.push(...prefabSuggestions);
+    
+    // 4. Rank and filter
+    return this.rankSuggestions(suggestions, context);
+  }
+  
+  private getLocalSuggestions(context: SuggestionContext): Suggestion[] {
+    const analysis = this.contextAnalyzer.analyze(context.component);
+    const suggestions: Suggestion[] = [];
+    
+    // Pattern completion
+    for (const incomplete of analysis.incompletePatterns) {
+      suggestions.push({
+        type: 'pattern',
+        title: incomplete.completionTitle,
+        description: incomplete.description,
+        confidence: incomplete.confidence,
+        action: {
+          type: 'insert_pattern',
+          payload: incomplete.completionNodes
+        }
+      });
+    }
+    
+    // Missing connections
+    for (const missing of analysis.missingConnections) {
+      suggestions.push({
+        type: 'connection',
+        title: `Connect ${missing.from} to ${missing.to}`,
+        confidence: missing.confidence,
+        action: {
+          type: 'create_connection',
+          payload: missing
+        }
+      });
+    }
+    
+    return suggestions;
+  }
+}
+```

+# AI-003: Natural Language Editing
+
+## Overview
+
+Enable users to modify their projects using natural language commands. Instead of manually finding and configuring nodes, users can say "make this button blue" or "add a loading spinner when fetching data" and have AI make the changes.
+
+## Context
+
+Current editing workflow:
+1. Select node in canvas
+2. Find property in sidebar
+3. Understand property options
+4. Make change
+5. Repeat for related nodes
+
+Natural language editing:
+1. Select component or node
+2. Describe what you want
+3. AI makes the changes
+4. Review and accept/modify
+
+This is especially powerful for:
+- Styling changes across multiple elements
+- Logic modifications that span nodes
+- Refactoring component structure
+- Complex multi-step changes
+
+### Existing AI Foundation
+
+From `AiAssistantModel.ts`:
+```typescript
+// Chat history for AI interactions
+class ChatHistory {
+  messages: ChatMessage[];
+  add(message: ChatMessage): void;
+}
+
+// AI context per node
+class AiCopilotContext {
+  template: AiTemplate;
+  chatHistory: ChatHistory;
+  node: NodeGraphNode;
+}
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Command Input**
+   - Command palette (Cmd+K style)
+   - Inline text input on selection
+   - Voice input (optional)
+   - Recent commands history
+
+2. **Command Understanding**
+   - Style changes: "make it red", "add shadow"
+   - Structure changes: "add a header", "wrap in a card"
+   - Logic changes: "show loading while fetching"
+   - Data changes: "sort by date", "filter active items"
+
+3. **Change Preview**
+   - Show what will change before applying
+   - Highlight affected nodes
+   - Before/after comparison
+   - Explanation of changes
+
+4. **Change Application**
+   - Apply changes atomically
+   - Support undo/redo
+   - Handle errors gracefully
+   - Learn from corrections
+
+5. **Scope Selection**
+   - Selected node(s) only
+   - Current component
+   - Related components
+   - Entire project
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Response time < 3 seconds
+- Changes are reversible
+- Works on any component type
+- Graceful degradation without API
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### 1. Natural Language Command Service
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/NaturalLanguageService.ts
+
+interface CommandContext {
+  selection: NodeGraphNode[];
+  component: ComponentModel;
+  project: ProjectModel;
+  recentCommands: Command[];
+}
+
+interface Command {
+  id: string;
+  text: string;
+  timestamp: Date;
+  result: CommandResult;
+}
+
+interface CommandResult {
+  success: boolean;
+  changes: Change[];
+  explanation: string;
+  undoAction?: () => void;
+}
+
+interface Change {
+  type: 'property' | 'node' | 'connection' | 'structure';
+  target: string;
+  before: any;
+  after: any;
+  description: string;
+}
+
+class NaturalLanguageService {
+  private static instance: NaturalLanguageService;
+  
+  // Main API
+  async parseCommand(text: string, context: CommandContext): Promise<ParsedCommand>;
+  async previewChanges(command: ParsedCommand): Promise<ChangePreview>;
+  async applyChanges(preview: ChangePreview): Promise<CommandResult>;
+  async undoCommand(commandId: string): Promise<void>;
+  
+  // Command history
+  getRecentCommands(): Command[];
+  searchCommands(query: string): Command[];
+  
+  // Learning
+  recordCorrection(commandId: string, correction: Change[]): void;
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Command Parser
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/ai/CommandParser.ts
+
+interface ParsedCommand {
+  intent: CommandIntent;
+  targets: CommandTarget[];
+  modifications: Modification[];
+  confidence: number;
+}
+
+enum CommandIntent {
+  STYLE_CHANGE = 'style_change',
+  STRUCTURE_CHANGE = 'structure_change',
+  LOGIC_CHANGE = 'logic_change',
+  DATA_CHANGE = 'data_change',
+  CREATE = 'create',
+  DELETE = 'delete',
+  CONNECT = 'connect',
+  UNKNOWN = 'unknown'
+}
+
+interface CommandTarget {
+  type: 'node' | 'component' | 'property' | 'connection';
+  selector: string;  // How to find it
+  resolved?: any;    // Actual reference
+}
+
+class CommandParser {
+  private patterns: CommandPattern[];
+  
+  async parse(text: string, context: CommandContext): Promise<ParsedCommand> {
+    // 1. Try local pattern matching first (fast)
+    const localMatch = this.matchLocalPatterns(text);
+    if (localMatch.confidence > 0.9) {
+      return localMatch;
+    }
+    
+    // 2. Use AI for complex commands
+    const aiParsed = await this.aiParse(text, context);
+    
+    // 3. Merge and validate
+    return this.mergeAndValidate(localMatch, aiParsed, context);
+  }
+  
+  private matchLocalPatterns(text: string): ParsedCommand {
+    // Pattern: "make [target] [color]"
+    // Pattern: "add [element] to [target]"
+    // Pattern: "connect [source] to [destination]"
+    // etc.
+  }
+  
+  private async aiParse(text: string, context: CommandContext): Promise<ParsedCommand> {
+    const prompt = `Parse this Noodl editing command:
+    Command: "${text}"
+    
+    Current selection: ${context.selection.map(n => n.type.localName).join(', ')}
+    Component: ${context.component.name}
+    
+    Output JSON with: intent, targets, modifications`;
+    
+    const response = await this.anthropicClient.complete(prompt);
+    return JSON.parse(response);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Change Generator
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/ai/ChangeGenerator.ts
+
+class ChangeGenerator {
+  // Generate actual changes from parsed command
+  async generateChanges(command: ParsedCommand, context: CommandContext): Promise<Change[]> {
+    const changes: Change[] = [];
+    
+    switch (command.intent) {
+      case CommandIntent.STYLE_CHANGE:
+        changes.push(...this.generateStyleChanges(command, context));
+        break;
+      case CommandIntent.STRUCTURE_CHANGE:
+        changes.push(...await this.generateStructureChanges(command, context));
+        break;
+      case CommandIntent.LOGIC_CHANGE:
+        changes.push(...await this.generateLogicChanges(command, context));
+        break;
+      // ...
+    }
+    
+    return changes;
+  }
+  
+  private generateStyleChanges(command: ParsedCommand, context: CommandContext): Change[] {
+    const changes: Change[] = [];
+    
+    for (const target of command.targets) {
+      const node = this.resolveTarget(target, context);
+      
+      for (const mod of command.modifications) {
+        const propertyName = this.mapToNoodlProperty(mod.property);
+        const newValue = this.parseValue(mod.value, propertyName);
+        
+        changes.push({
+          type: 'property',
+          target: node.id,
+          before: node.parameters[propertyName],
+          after: newValue,
+          description: `Change ${propertyName} to ${newValue}`
+        });
+      }
+    }
+    
+    return changes;
+  }
+  
+  private async generateStructureChanges(
+    command: ParsedCommand, 
+    context: CommandContext
+  ): Promise<Change[]> {
+    // Use AI to generate node structure
+    const prompt = `Generate Noodl node structure for:
+    "${command.modifications.map(m => m.description).join(', ')}"
+    
+    Current context: ${JSON.stringify(context.selection.map(n => n.type.localName))}
+    
+    Output JSON array of nodes to create and connections`;
+    
+    const response = await this.anthropicClient.complete(prompt);
+    return this.parseStructureResponse(response);
+  }
+}
+```

+# AI-004: AI Design Assistance
+
+## Overview
+
+Provide AI-powered design feedback and improvements. Analyze components for design issues (accessibility, consistency, spacing) and suggest or auto-apply fixes. Transform rough layouts into polished designs.
+
+## Context
+
+Many Noodl users are developers or designers who may not have deep expertise in both areas. Common issues include:
+- Inconsistent spacing and alignment
+- Accessibility problems (contrast, touch targets)
+- Missing hover/focus states
+- Unbalanced layouts
+- Poor color combinations
+
+AI Design Assistance provides:
+- Automated design review
+- One-click fixes for common issues
+- Style consistency enforcement
+- Accessibility compliance checking
+- Layout optimization suggestions
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Design Analysis**
+   - Scan component/page for issues
+   - Categorize by severity (error, warning, info)
+   - Group by type (spacing, color, typography, etc.)
+   - Provide explanations
+
+2. **Issue Categories**
+   - **Accessibility**: Contrast, touch targets, labels
+   - **Consistency**: Spacing, colors, typography
+   - **Layout**: Alignment, balance, whitespace
+   - **Interaction**: Hover, focus, active states
+   - **Responsiveness**: Breakpoint issues
+
+3. **Fix Application**
+   - One-click fix for individual issues
+   - "Fix all" for category
+   - Preview before applying
+   - Explain what was fixed
+
+4. **Design Improvement**
+   - "Polish this" command
+   - Transform rough layouts
+   - Suggest design alternatives
+   - Apply consistent styling
+
+5. **Design System Enforcement**
+   - Check against project styles
+   - Suggest using existing styles
+   - Identify one-off values
+   - Propose new styles
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Analysis completes in < 5 seconds
+- Fixes don't break functionality
+- Respects existing design intent
+- Works with any component structure
+
+## Technical Approach

+  RESPONSIVENESS = 'responsiveness'
+}
+
+interface DesignFix {

+## Prompt Engineering
+
+### System Prompts
+
+```typescript
+// Scaffolding
+const SCAFFOLD_SYSTEM = `You are an expert Noodl application architect.
+Generate detailed project scaffolds for visual low-code applications.
+Consider: UX flow, data management, reusability, performance.`;
+
+// Suggestions
+const SUGGESTION_SYSTEM = `You analyze Noodl components and suggest
+improvements. Focus on: pattern completion, best practices, 
+common UI patterns, data handling.`;
+
+// Natural Language
+const NL_SYSTEM = `You parse natural language commands for editing
+Noodl visual components. Output structured changes that can be
+applied to the node graph.`;
+
+// Design
+const DESIGN_SYSTEM = `You are a design expert analyzing Noodl
+components for accessibility, consistency, and visual quality.
+Suggest concrete property changes.`;
+```
+
+### Context Serialization
+
+```typescript
+// Serialize component for AI context
+function serializeForAi(component: ComponentModel): string {
+  return JSON.stringify({
+    name: component.name,
+    nodes: component.nodes.map(n => ({
+      type: n.type.localName,
+      id: n.id,
+      parameters: n.parameters,
+      children: n.children?.map(c => c.id)
+    })),
+    connections: component.connections.map(c => ({
+      from: `${c.sourceNode.id}.${c.sourcePort}`,
+      to: `${c.targetNode.id}.${c.targetPort}`
+    }))
+  }, null, 2);
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Token Management
+- Keep prompts concise
+- Truncate large components
+- Cache common patterns locally
+- Batch similar requests
+
+### Response Times
+- Scaffold generation: < 30 seconds
+- Suggestions: < 500ms (local), < 3s (AI)
+- NL parsing: < 3 seconds
+- Design analysis: < 5 seconds
+
+### Offline Support
+- Local pattern library for suggestions
+- Cached design rules
+- Basic NL patterns
+- Graceful degradation
+
+## Settings & Configuration
+
+```typescript
+interface AiConfiguration {
+  // API
+  apiKey: string;
+  apiEndpoint: string;  // For custom/proxy
+  model: string;
+  
+  // Features
+  features: {
+    scaffolding: boolean;
+    suggestions: boolean;
+    naturalLanguage: boolean;
+    designAssistance: boolean;
+  };
+  
+  // Suggestions
+  suggestions: {
+    enabled: boolean;
+    frequency: 'always' | 'sometimes' | 'manual';
+    showInline: boolean;
+    showPanel: boolean;
+  };
+  
+  // Design
+  design: {
+    autoAnalyze: boolean;
+    showInCanvas: boolean;
+    strictAccessibility: boolean;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+- Prompt generation
+- Response parsing
+- Pattern matching
+- Change generation
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Full scaffold flow
+- Suggestion pipeline
+- NL command execution
+- Design analysis
+
+### Manual Testing
+- Various project descriptions
+- Edge case components
+- Complex NL commands
+- Accessibility scenarios
+
+## Cline Usage Notes
+
+### Before Starting Each Task
+
+1. Read existing AI infrastructure:
+   - `AiAssistantModel.ts`
+   - Related AI components in `noodl-core-ui`
+2. Understand prompt patterns from existing templates
+3. Review how changes are applied to node graph
+
+### Key Integration Points
+
+1. **Node Graph**: All changes go through `NodeGraphModel`
+2. **Undo/Redo**: Must integrate with `UndoManager`
+3. **Project Model**: Scaffolds create full project structure
+4. **Settings**: Store in `EditorSettings`
+
+### API Key Handling
+
+- Never log API keys
+- Store securely (electron safeStorage)
+- Clear from memory after use
+- Support environment variable override
+
+## Success Criteria (Series Complete)
+
+1. ✅ Users can create projects from descriptions
+2. ✅ Contextual suggestions appear while building
+3. ✅ Natural language commands modify components
+4. ✅ Design issues automatically detected
+5. ✅ One-click fixes for common issues
+6. ✅ Works offline with reduced functionality
+
+## Future Work (Post-AI Series)
+
+The AI series enables:
+- **Voice Control**: Voice input for commands
+- **Image to Project**: Screenshot to scaffold
+- **Code Generation**: Export to React/Vue
+- **AI Debugging**: Debug logic issues
+- **Performance Optimization**: AI-suggested optimizations

+# DEPLOY-001: One-Click Deploy Integrations
+
+## Overview
+
+Add one-click deployment to popular hosting platforms (Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages). Users can deploy their frontend directly from the editor without manual file handling or CLI tools.
+
+## Context
+
+Currently, deployment requires:
+1. Deploy to local folder
+2. Manually upload to hosting platform
+3. Configure hosting settings separately
+4. Repeat for every deployment
+
+This friction discourages frequent deployments and makes it harder for non-technical users to share their work.
+
+### Existing Infrastructure
+
+From `deployer.ts`:
+```typescript
+export async function deployToFolder({
+  project,
+  direntry,
+  environment,
+  baseUrl,
+  envVariables,
+  runtimeType = 'deploy'
+}: DeployToFolderOptions)
+```
+
+From `compilation.ts`:
+```typescript
+class Compilation {
+  deployToFolder(direntry, options): Promise<void>;
+  // Build scripts for pre/post deploy
+}
+```
+
+From `DeployToFolderTab.tsx`:
+- Current UI for folder selection
+- Environment selection dropdown
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Platform Integrations**
+   - Netlify (OAuth + API)
+   - Vercel (OAuth + API)
+   - GitHub Pages (via GitHub API)
+   - Cloudflare Pages (OAuth + API)
+
+2. **Deploy Flow**
+   - One-click deploy from editor
+   - Platform selection dropdown
+   - Site/project selection or creation
+   - Environment variables configuration
+   - Deploy progress indication
+
+3. **Site Management**
+   - List user's sites on each platform
+   - Create new site from editor
+   - Link project to existing site
+   - View deployment history
+
+4. **Configuration**
+   - Environment variables per platform
+   - Custom domain display
+   - Build settings (if needed)
+   - Deploy hooks
+
+5. **Status & History**
+   - Deploy status in editor
+   - Link to live site
+   - Deployment history
+   - Rollback option (if supported)
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Deploy completes in < 2 minutes
+- Works with existing deploy-to-folder logic
+- Secure token storage
+- Clear error messages
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### 1. Deploy Service Architecture
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/DeployService.ts
+
+interface DeployTarget {
+  id: string;
+  name: string;
+  platform: DeployPlatform;
+  siteId: string;
+  siteName: string;
+  url: string;
+  customDomain?: string;
+  lastDeployedAt?: string;
+  envVariables?: Record<string, string>;
+}
+
+enum DeployPlatform {
+  NETLIFY = 'netlify',
+  VERCEL = 'vercel',
+  GITHUB_PAGES = 'github_pages',
+  CLOUDFLARE = 'cloudflare',
+  LOCAL_FOLDER = 'local_folder'
+}
+
+interface DeployResult {
+  success: boolean;
+  deployId: string;
+  url: string;
+  buildTime: number;
+  error?: string;
+}
+
+class DeployService {
+  private static instance: DeployService;
+  private providers: Map<DeployPlatform, DeployProvider> = new Map();
+  
+  // Provider management
+  registerProvider(provider: DeployProvider): void;
+  getProvider(platform: DeployPlatform): DeployProvider;
+  
+  // Authentication
+  async authenticate(platform: DeployPlatform): Promise<void>;
+  async disconnect(platform: DeployPlatform): Promise<void>;
+  isAuthenticated(platform: DeployPlatform): boolean;
+  
+  // Site management
+  async listSites(platform: DeployPlatform): Promise<Site[]>;
+  async createSite(platform: DeployPlatform, name: string): Promise<Site>;
+  async linkSite(project: ProjectModel, target: DeployTarget): Promise<void>;
+  
+  // Deployment
+  async deploy(project: ProjectModel, target: DeployTarget): Promise<DeployResult>;
+  async getDeployStatus(deployId: string): Promise<DeployStatus>;
+  async getDeployHistory(target: DeployTarget): Promise<Deployment[]>;
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Deploy Provider Interface
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/deploy/DeployProvider.ts
+
+interface DeployProvider {
+  readonly platform: DeployPlatform;
+  readonly name: string;
+  readonly icon: string;
+  
+  // Authentication
+  authenticate(): Promise<AuthResult>;
+  disconnect(): Promise<void>;

+# DEPLOY-002: Preview Deployments
+
+## Overview
+
+Enable automatic preview deployments for each git branch or commit. When users push changes, a preview URL is automatically generated so stakeholders can review before merging to production.
+
+## Context
+
+Currently, sharing work-in-progress requires:
+1. Manual deploy to a staging site
+2. Share URL with stakeholders
+3. Remember which deploy corresponds to which version
+4. Manually clean up old deploys
+
+Preview deployments provide:
+- Automatic URL per branch/PR
+- Easy sharing with stakeholders
+- Visual history of changes
+- Automatic cleanup
+
+This is especially valuable for:
+- Design reviews
+- QA testing
+- Client approvals
+- Team collaboration
+
+### Integration with GIT Series
+
+From GIT-002:
+- Git status tracking per project
+- Branch awareness
+- Commit detection
+
+This task leverages that infrastructure to trigger preview deploys.
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Automatic Previews**
+   - Deploy preview on branch push
+   - Unique URL per branch
+   - Update preview on new commits
+   - Delete preview on branch delete
+
+2. **Manual Previews**
+   - "Deploy Preview" button in editor
+   - Generate shareable URL
+   - Named previews (optional)
+   - Expiration settings
+
+3. **Preview Management**
+   - List all active previews
+   - View preview URL
+   - Delete individual previews
+   - Set auto-cleanup rules
+
+4. **Sharing**
+   - Copy preview URL
+   - QR code for mobile
+   - Optional password protection
+   - Expiration timer
+
+5. **Integration with PRs**
+   - Comment preview URL on PR
+   - Update comment on new commits
+   - Status check integration
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Preview available within 2 minutes
+- Support 10+ concurrent previews
+- Auto-cleanup after configurable period
+- Works with all deploy providers
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### 1. Preview Service
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/PreviewDeployService.ts
+
+interface PreviewDeployment {
+  id: string;
+  projectId: string;
+  branch: string;
+  commitSha: string;
+  url: string;
+  platform: DeployPlatform;
+  siteId: string;
+  status: PreviewStatus;
+  createdAt: string;
+  expiresAt?: string;
+  password?: string;
+  name?: string;
+}
+
+enum PreviewStatus {
+  PENDING = 'pending',
+  BUILDING = 'building',
+  READY = 'ready',
+  FAILED = 'failed',
+  EXPIRED = 'expired'
+}
+
+interface PreviewConfig {
+  enabled: boolean;
+  autoDeployBranches: boolean;
+  excludeBranches: string[];  // e.g., ['main', 'master']
+  expirationDays: number;
+  maxPreviews: number;
+  passwordProtect: boolean;
+  commentOnPR: boolean;
+}
+
+class PreviewDeployService {
+  private static instance: PreviewDeployService;
+  
+  // Preview management
+  async createPreview(options: CreatePreviewOptions): Promise<PreviewDeployment>;
+  async updatePreview(previewId: string): Promise<PreviewDeployment>;
+  async deletePreview(previewId: string): Promise<void>;
+  async listPreviews(projectId: string): Promise<PreviewDeployment[]>;
+  
+  // Auto-deployment
+  async onBranchPush(projectId: string, branch: string, commitSha: string): Promise<void>;
+  async onBranchDelete(projectId: string, branch: string): Promise<void>;
+  
+  // PR integration
+  async commentOnPR(preview: PreviewDeployment): Promise<void>;
+  async updatePRComment(preview: PreviewDeployment): Promise<void>;
+  
+  // Cleanup
+  async cleanupExpiredPreviews(): Promise<void>;
+  async enforceMaxPreviews(projectId: string): Promise<void>;
+  
+  // Configuration
+  getConfig(projectId: string): PreviewConfig;
+  setConfig(projectId: string, config: Partial<PreviewConfig>): void;
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Branch-Based Preview Naming
+
+```typescript
+// Generate preview URLs based on branch
+function generatePreviewUrl(platform: DeployPlatform, branch: string, projectName: string): string {
+  const sanitizedBranch = sanitizeBranchName(branch);
+  
+  switch (platform) {
+    case DeployPlatform.NETLIFY:
+      // Netlify: branch--sitename.netlify.app
+      return `https://${sanitizedBranch}--${projectName}.netlify.app`;
+      
+    case DeployPlatform.VERCEL:
+      // Vercel: project-branch-hash.vercel.app
+      return `https://${projectName}-${sanitizedBranch}.vercel.app`;
+      
+    case DeployPlatform.GITHUB_PAGES:
+      // GitHub Pages: use subdirectory or separate branch
+      return `https://${owner}.github.io/${repo}/preview/${sanitizedBranch}`;
+      
+    default:
+      return '';
+  }
+}
+
+function sanitizeBranchName(branch: string): string {
+  return branch
+    .toLowerCase()
+    .replace(/[^a-z0-9-]/g, '-')
+    .replace(/-+/g, '-')
+    .substring(0, 50);
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Git Integration Hook
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/PreviewDeployService.ts
+
+// Hook into git operations
+class PreviewDeployService {
+  constructor() {
+    // Listen for git events
+    EventDispatcher.instance.on('git.push.success', this.handlePush.bind(this));
+    EventDispatcher.instance.on('git.branch.delete', this.handleBranchDelete.bind(this));
+  }
+  
+  private async handlePush(event: GitPushEvent): Promise<void> {
+    const config = this.getConfig(event.projectId);
+    
+    if (!config.enabled || !config.autoDeployBranches) {
+      return;
+    }
+    
+    // Check if branch is excluded
+    if (config.excludeBranches.includes(event.branch)) {
+      return;
+    }
+    
+    // Check if we already have a preview for this branch

+# DEPLOY-003: Deploy Settings & Environment Variables
+
+## Overview
+
+Provide comprehensive deployment configuration including environment variables, build settings, custom domains, and deployment rules. Users can manage different environments (development, staging, production) with different configurations.
+
+## Context
+
+Currently:
+- Environment variables set per deploy manually
+- No persistent environment configuration
+- No distinction between environments
+- Custom domain setup requires external configuration
+
+This task adds:
+- Persistent environment variable management
+- Multiple environment profiles
+- Custom domain configuration
+- Build optimization settings
+- Deploy rules and triggers
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+1. **Environment Variables**
+   - Add/edit/delete variables
+   - Sensitive variable masking
+   - Import from .env file
+   - Export to .env file
+   - Variable validation
+
+2. **Environment Profiles**
+   - Development, Staging, Production presets
+   - Custom profiles
+   - Variables per profile
+   - Easy switching
+
+3. **Custom Domains**
+   - View current domains
+   - Add custom domain
+   - SSL certificate status
+   - DNS configuration help
+
+4. **Build Settings**
+   - Output directory
+   - Base URL configuration
+   - Asset optimization
+   - Source maps (dev only)
+
+5. **Deploy Rules**
+   - Auto-deploy on push
+   - Branch-based rules
+   - Deploy schedule
+   - Deploy hooks/webhooks
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- Variables encrypted at rest
+- Sensitive values never logged
+- Sync with platform settings
+- Works offline (cached)
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### 1. Environment Configuration Service
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/services/EnvironmentConfigService.ts
+
+interface EnvironmentVariable {
+  key: string;
+  value: string;
+  sensitive: boolean;  // Masked in UI
+  scope: VariableScope;
+}
+
+enum VariableScope {
+  BUILD = 'build',      // Available during build
+  RUNTIME = 'runtime',  // Injected into app
+  BOTH = 'both'
+}
+
+interface EnvironmentProfile {
+  id: string;
+  name: string;
+  description?: string;
+  variables: EnvironmentVariable[];
+  isDefault: boolean;
+  platform?: DeployPlatform;  // If linked to a platform
+}
+
+interface DeploySettings {
+  outputDirectory: string;
+  baseUrl: string;
+  assetOptimization: boolean;
+  sourceMaps: boolean;
+  cleanUrls: boolean;
+  trailingSlash: boolean;
+}
+
+class EnvironmentConfigService {
+  private static instance: EnvironmentConfigService;
+  
+  // Profiles
+  async getProfiles(projectId: string): Promise<EnvironmentProfile[]>;
+  async createProfile(projectId: string, profile: Omit<EnvironmentProfile, 'id'>): Promise<EnvironmentProfile>;
+  async updateProfile(projectId: string, profileId: string, updates: Partial<EnvironmentProfile>): Promise<void>;
+  async deleteProfile(projectId: string, profileId: string): Promise<void>;
+  
+  // Variables
+  async getVariables(projectId: string, profileId: string): Promise<EnvironmentVariable[]>;
+  async setVariable(projectId: string, profileId: string, variable: EnvironmentVariable): Promise<void>;
+  async deleteVariable(projectId: string, profileId: string, key: string): Promise<void>;
+  async importFromEnvFile(projectId: string, profileId: string, content: string): Promise<void>;
+  async exportToEnvFile(projectId: string, profileId: string): Promise<string>;
+  
+  // Build settings
+  async getDeploySettings(projectId: string): Promise<DeploySettings>;
+  async updateDeploySettings(projectId: string, settings: Partial<DeploySettings>): Promise<void>;
+  
+  // Platform sync
+  async syncWithPlatform(projectId: string, profileId: string, platform: DeployPlatform): Promise<void>;
+  async pullFromPlatform(projectId: string, platform: DeployPlatform): Promise<EnvironmentVariable[]>;
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Environment Storage
+
+```typescript
+// Store in project metadata, encrypted
+interface ProjectDeployConfig {
+  profiles: EnvironmentProfile[];
+  activeProfileId: string;
+  deploySettings: DeploySettings;
+  domains: CustomDomain[];
+  deployRules: DeployRule[];
+}
+
+// Encryption for sensitive values
+class SecureStorage {
+  async encrypt(value: string): Promise<string>;
+  async decrypt(value: string): Promise<string>;
+}
+
+// Store encrypted in project.json
+{
+  "metadata": {
+    "deployConfig": {
+      "profiles": [
+        {
+          "id": "prod",
+          "name": "Production",
+          "variables": [
+            {
+              "key": "API_URL",
+              "value": "https://api.example.com",  // Plain text
+              "sensitive": false
+            },
+            {
+              "key": "API_KEY",
+              "value": "encrypted:abc123...",  // Encrypted
+              "sensitive": true
+            }
+          ]
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Domain Configuration
+
+```typescript
+interface CustomDomain {
+  domain: string;
+  platform: DeployPlatform;
+  siteId: string;
+  status: DomainStatus;
+  sslStatus: SSLStatus;
+  dnsRecords?: DNSRecord[];
+}
+
+enum DomainStatus {
+  PENDING = 'pending',
+  ACTIVE = 'active',
+  FAILED = 'failed'
+}
+
+enum SSLStatus {
+  PENDING = 'pending',
+  ACTIVE = 'active',
+  EXPIRED = 'expired',
+  FAILED = 'failed'
+}
+
+interface DNSRecord {
+  type: 'A' | 'CNAME' | 'TXT';
+  name: string;
+  value: string;
+  required: boolean;
+}
+
+class DomainService {
+  async addDomain(siteId: string, domain: string): Promise<CustomDomain>;
+  async verifyDomain(domainId: string): Promise<DomainStatus>;
+  async getDNSInstructions(domain: string): Promise<DNSRecord[]>;
+  async checkSSL(domainId: string): Promise<SSLStatus>;
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Deploy Rules
+
+```typescript
+interface DeployRule {
+  id: string;
+  name: string;
+  enabled: boolean;
+  trigger: DeployTrigger;
+  conditions: DeployCondition[];
+  actions: DeployAction[];
+}
+
+interface DeployTrigger {
+  type: 'push' | 'schedule' | 'manual' | 'webhook';
+  config: PushConfig | ScheduleConfig | WebhookConfig;
+}
+
+interface PushConfig {
+  branches: string[];  // Glob patterns
+  paths?: string[];    // Only deploy if these paths changed
+}
+
+interface ScheduleConfig {
+  cron: string;  // Cron expression
+  timezone: string;
+}
+
+interface DeployCondition {
+  type: 'branch' | 'tag' | 'path' | 'message';
+  operator: 'equals' | 'contains' | 'matches';
+  value: string;
+}
+
+interface DeployAction {
+  type: 'deploy' | 'notify' | 'webhook';
+  config: DeployActionConfig | NotifyConfig | WebhookConfig;
+}
+```

+# DEPLOY Series: Deployment Automation
+
+## Overview
+
+The DEPLOY series transforms Noodl's deployment from manual folder exports into a modern, automated deployment pipeline. Users can deploy to popular hosting platforms with one click, get automatic preview URLs for each branch, and manage environment variables and domains directly from the editor.
+
+## Target Environment
+
+- **Editor**: React 19 version only
+- **Platforms**: Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages
+- **Backwards Compatibility**: Existing deploy-to-folder continues to work
+
+## Task Dependency Graph

+
+**Total Estimated: 82-104 hours**
+
+## Implementation Order
+
+### Phase 1: Core Deployment (Weeks 1-2)
+1. **DEPLOY-001** - One-click deploy to platforms
+   - Establishes provider architecture
+   - OAuth flows for each platform
+   - Core deployment functionality
+
+### Phase 2: Preview & Settings (Weeks 3-4)
+2. **DEPLOY-002** - Preview deployments
+   - Branch-based previews
+   - PR integration
+   - Sharing features
+
+3. **DEPLOY-003** - Deploy settings
+   - Environment variables
+   - Custom domains
+   - Deploy rules
+
+## Existing Infrastructure
+
+### Deployer
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/utils/compilation/build/deployer.ts
+export async function deployToFolder({
+  project,
+  direntry,
+  environment,
+  baseUrl,
+  envVariables,
+  runtimeType = 'deploy'
+}: DeployToFolderOptions)
+```
+
+### Compilation
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/utils/compilation/compilation.ts
+class Compilation {
+  deployToFolder(direntry, options): Promise<void>;
+  // Build scripts system for pre/post deploy
+}
+```
+
+### Deploy UI
+
+```typescript
+// Current deploy popup with folder selection
+DeployToFolderTab.tsx
+DeployPopup.tsx
+```
+
+### Cloud Services
+
+```typescript
+// packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/models/CloudServices.ts
+interface Environment {
+  id: string;
+  name: string;
+  url: string;
+  appId: string;
+  masterKey?: string;
+}
+```

+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Token Storage
+- OAuth tokens stored in electron safeStorage
+- Never logged or displayed
+- Cleared on disconnect
+
+### Sensitive Variables
+- Encrypted at rest
+- Masked in UI (•••••)
+- Never exported to .env without warning
+
+### Platform Security
+- Minimum OAuth scopes
+- Token refresh handling
+- Secure redirect handling
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+- Provider method isolation
+- Token handling
+- File preparation
+
+### Integration Tests
+- OAuth flow mocking
+- Deploy API mocking
+- Full deploy cycle
+
+### Manual Testing
+- Real deployments to each platform
+- Custom domain setup
+- Preview workflow
+
+## Cline Usage Notes
+
+### Before Starting Each Task
+
+1. Review existing deployment infrastructure:
+   - `deployer.ts`
+   - `compilation.ts`
+   - `DeployPopup/`
+
+2. Understand build output:
+   - How project.json is exported
+   - How bundles are created
+   - How index.html is generated
+
+### Key Integration Points
+
+1. **Compilation**: Use existing `deployToFolder` for file preparation
+2. **Cloud Services**: Existing environment model can inform design
+3. **Git Integration**: Leverage GIT series for branch awareness
+
+### Platform API Notes
+
+- **Netlify**: Uses digest-based upload (SHA1 hashes)
+- **Vercel**: File-based deployment API
+- **GitHub Pages**: Git-based via GitHub API
+- **Cloudflare**: Similar to Netlify/Vercel
+
+## Success Criteria (Series Complete)
+
+1. ✅ One-click deploy to 4 platforms
+2. ✅ OAuth authentication flow works
+3. ✅ Site creation from editor works
+4. ✅ Preview deploys auto-generated
+5. ✅ PR comments posted automatically
+6. ✅ Environment variables managed
+7. ✅ Custom domains configurable
+8. ✅ Deploy rules automate workflow
+
+## Future Work (Post-DEPLOY)
+
+The DEPLOY series enables:
+- **CI/CD Integration**: Connect to GitHub Actions, GitLab CI
+- **Performance Monitoring**: Lighthouse scores per deploy
+- **A/B Testing**: Deploy variants to subsets
+- **Rollback**: One-click rollback to previous deploy
+- **Multi-Region**: Deploy to multiple regions

+# TASK: Enhanced Expression Node & Expression Evaluator Foundation
+
+## Overview
+
+Upgrade the existing Expression node to support full JavaScript expressions with access to `Noodl.Variables`, `Noodl.Objects`, and `Noodl.Arrays`, plus reactive dependency tracking. This establishes the foundation for Phase 2 (inline expression properties throughout the editor).
+
+**Estimated effort:** 2-3 weeks  
+**Priority:** High - Foundation for Expression Properties feature  
+**Dependencies:** None
+
+---
+
+## Background & Motivation
+
+### Current Expression Node Limitations
+
+The existing Expression node (`packages/noodl-runtime/src/nodes/std-library/expression.js`):
+
+1. **Limited context** - Only provides Math helpers (min, max, cos, sin, etc.)
+2. **No Noodl globals** - Cannot access `Noodl.Variables.X`, `Noodl.Objects.Y`, `Noodl.Arrays.Z`
+3. **Boolean-focused outputs** - Primarily `isTrue`/`isFalse`, though `result` exists as `*` type
+4. **Workaround required** - Users must create connected input ports to pass in variable values
+5. **No reactive updates** - Doesn't automatically re-evaluate when referenced Variables/Objects change
+
+### Desired State
+
+Users should be able to write expressions like:
+```javascript
+Noodl.Variables.isLoggedIn ? `Welcome, ${Noodl.Variables.userName}!` : "Please log in"
+```
+
+And have the expression automatically re-evaluate whenever `isLoggedIn` or `userName` changes.
+
+---
+
+## Files to Analyze First
+
+Before making changes, thoroughly read and understand these files:
+
+### Core Expression Implementation
+```
+@packages/noodl-runtime/src/nodes/std-library/expression.js
+```
+- Current expression compilation using `new Function()`
+- `functionPreamble` that injects Math helpers
+- `parsePorts()` for extracting variable references
+- Scheduling and caching mechanisms
+
+### Noodl Global APIs
+```
+@packages/noodl-runtime/src/model.js
+@packages/noodl-viewer-react/src/noodl-js-api.js
+@packages/noodl-viewer-cloud/src/noodl-js-api.js
+```
+- How `Noodl.Variables`, `Noodl.Objects`, `Noodl.Arrays` are implemented
+- The Model class and its change event system
+- `Model.get('--ndl--global-variables')` pattern
+
+### Type Definitions (for autocomplete later)
+```
+@packages/noodl-viewer-react/static/viewer/global.d.ts.keep
+@packages/noodl-viewer-cloud/static/viewer/global.d.ts.keep
+```
+- TypeScript definitions for the Noodl namespace
+- Documentation of the API surface
+
+### JavaScript/Function Node (reference)
+```
+@packages/noodl-runtime/src/nodes/std-library/javascriptfunction.js
+```
+- How full JavaScript nodes access Noodl context
+- Pattern for providing richer execution context
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Step 1: Create Expression Evaluator Module
+
+Create a new shared module that handles expression compilation, dependency tracking, and evaluation.
+
+**Create file:** `packages/noodl-runtime/src/expression-evaluator.js`
+
+```javascript
+/**
+ * Expression Evaluator
+ * 
+ * Compiles JavaScript expressions with access to Noodl globals
+ * and tracks dependencies for reactive updates.
+ * 
+ * Features:
+ * - Full Noodl.Variables, Noodl.Objects, Noodl.Arrays access
+ * - Math helpers (min, max, cos, sin, etc.)
+ * - Dependency detection and change subscription
+ * - Expression versioning for future compatibility
+ * - Caching of compiled functions

+};
+```
+
+### Step 2: Upgrade Expression Node
+
+Modify the existing Expression node to use the new evaluator and support reactive updates.
+
+**Modify file:** `packages/noodl-runtime/src/nodes/std-library/expression.js`
+
+Key changes:
+1. Use `expression-evaluator.js` for compilation
+2. Add Noodl globals to the function preamble
+3. Implement dependency detection
+4. Subscribe to changes for automatic re-evaluation
+5. Add new typed outputs (`asString`, `asNumber`)
+6. Clean up subscriptions on node deletion
+
+```javascript
+// Key additions to the expression node:
+
+const ExpressionEvaluator = require('../../expression-evaluator');
+
+// In initialize():
+internal.unsubscribe = null;
+internal.dependencies = { variables: [], objects: [], arrays: [] };
+
+// In the expression input setter:
+// After compiling the expression:
+internal.dependencies = ExpressionEvaluator.detectDependencies(value);
+
+// Set up reactive subscription
+if (internal.unsubscribe) {
+  internal.unsubscribe();
+}
+
+if (internal.dependencies.variables.length > 0 || 
+    internal.dependencies.objects.length > 0 ||
+    internal.dependencies.arrays.length > 0) {
+  internal.unsubscribe = ExpressionEvaluator.subscribeToChanges(
+    internal.dependencies,
+    () => this._scheduleEvaluateExpression(),
+    this.context?.modelScope
+  );
+}
+
+// Add cleanup in _onNodeDeleted or add a delete listener
+```
+
+### Step 3: Update Function Preamble
+
+Update the preamble to include Noodl globals:
+
+```javascript
+var functionPreamble = [
+  // Math helpers (existing)
+  'var min = Math.min,',
+  '    max = Math.max,',
+  '    cos = Math.cos,',
+  '    sin = Math.sin,',
+  '    tan = Math.tan,',
+  '    sqrt = Math.sqrt,',
+  '    pi = Math.PI,',
+  '    round = Math.round,',
+  '    floor = Math.floor,',
+  '    ceil = Math.ceil,',
+  '    abs = Math.abs,',
+  '    pow = Math.pow,',
+  '    log = Math.log,',
+  '    exp = Math.exp,',
+  '    random = Math.random;',
+  // Noodl context shortcuts (new)
+  'var Variables = Noodl.Variables,',
+  '    Objects = Noodl.Objects,',
+  '    Arrays = Noodl.Arrays;'
+].join('\n');
+```
+
+### Step 4: Add New Outputs
+
+Add typed output alternatives for better downstream compatibility:
+
+```javascript
+outputs: {
+  // Existing outputs (keep for backward compatibility)
+  result: { /* ... */ },
+  isTrue: { /* ... */ },
+  isFalse: { /* ... */ },
+  isTrueEv: { /* ... */ },
+  isFalseEv: { /* ... */ },
+  
+  // New typed outputs
+  asString: {
+    group: 'Typed Results',
+    type: 'string',
+    displayName: 'As String',
+    getter: function() {
+      const val = this._internal.cachedValue;
+      return val !== undefined && val !== null ? String(val) : '';
+    }
+  },
+  asNumber: {
+    group: 'Typed Results',
+    type: 'number',
+    displayName: 'As Number',
+    getter: function() {
+      const val = this._internal.cachedValue;
+      return typeof val === 'number' ? val : Number(val) || 0;
+    }
+  },
+  asBoolean: {
+    group: 'Typed Results',
+    type: 'boolean',
+    displayName: 'As Boolean',
+    getter: function() {
+      return !!this._internal.cachedValue;
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 5: Add Expression Validation in Editor
+
+Enhance the editor-side validation to provide better error messages:
+
+**Modify file:** `packages/noodl-runtime/src/nodes/std-library/expression.js` (setup function)
+
+```javascript
+// In the setup function, enhance evalCompileWarnings:
+function evalCompileWarnings(editorConnection, node) {
+  const expression = node.parameters.expression;
+  if (!expression) {
+    editorConnection.clearWarning(node.component.name, node.id, 'expression-compile-error');
+    return;
+  }
+  
+  const validation = ExpressionEvaluator.validateExpression(expression);
+  
+  if (!validation.valid) {
+    editorConnection.sendWarning(node.component.name, node.id, 'expression-compile-error', {
+      message: `Syntax error: ${validation.error}`
+    });
+  } else {
+    editorConnection.clearWarning(node.component.name, node.id, 'expression-compile-error');
+    
+    // Also show detected dependencies as info (optional)
+    const deps = ExpressionEvaluator.detectDependencies(expression);
+    if (deps.variables.length > 0 || deps.objects.length > 0 || deps.arrays.length > 0) {
+      // Could show this as info, not warning
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 6: Add Tests
+
+**Create file:** `packages/noodl-runtime/test/expression-evaluator.test.js`
+
+```javascript
+const ExpressionEvaluator = require('../src/expression-evaluator');
+
+describe('Expression Evaluator', () => {
+  describe('detectDependencies', () => {
+    test('detects Noodl.Variables references', () => {
+      const deps = ExpressionEvaluator.detectDependencies(
+        'Noodl.Variables.isLoggedIn ? Noodl.Variables.userName : "guest"'
+      );
+      expect(deps.variables).toContain('isLoggedIn');
+      expect(deps.variables).toContain('userName');
+    });
+    
+    test('detects bracket notation', () => {
+      const deps = ExpressionEvaluator.detectDependencies(
+        'Noodl.Variables["my variable"]'
+      );
+      expect(deps.variables).toContain('my variable');
+    });
+    
+    test('ignores references inside strings', () => {
+      const deps = ExpressionEvaluator.detectDependencies(
+        '"Noodl.Variables.notReal"'
+      );
+      expect(deps.variables).toHaveLength(0);
+    });
+    
+    test('detects Noodl.Objects references', () => {
+      const deps = ExpressionEvaluator.detectDependencies(
+        'Noodl.Objects.CurrentUser.name'
+      );
+      expect(deps.objects).toContain('CurrentUser');
+    });
+

+      expect(deps.arrays).toContain('items');
+    });
+  });
+  
+  describe('compileExpression', () => {
+    test('compiles valid expression', () => {
+      const fn = ExpressionEvaluator.compileExpression('1 + 1');
+      expect(fn).not.toBeNull();
+    });
+    
+    test('returns null for invalid expression', () => {

+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Step 7: Update TypeScript Definitions
+
+**Modify file:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/utils/CodeEditor/model.ts`
+
+Add the enhanced context for Expression nodes in the Monaco editor:
+
+```typescript
+// In registerOrUpdate_Expression function, add more complete typings
+function registerOrUpdate_Expression(): TypescriptModule {
+  return {
+    uri: 'expression-context.d.ts',
+    source: `
+      declare const Noodl: {
+        Variables: Record<string, any>;
+        Objects: Record<string, any>;
+        Arrays: Record<string, any>;
+      };
+      declare const Variables: Record<string, any>;
+      declare const Objects: Record<string, any>;
+      declare const Arrays: Record<string, any>;
+      
+      declare const min: typeof Math.min;
+      declare const max: typeof Math.max;
+      declare const cos: typeof Math.cos;
+      declare const sin: typeof Math.sin;
+      declare const tan: typeof Math.tan;
+      declare const sqrt: typeof Math.sqrt;
+      declare const pi: number;
+      declare const round: typeof Math.round;
+      declare const floor: typeof Math.floor;
+      declare const ceil: typeof Math.ceil;
+      declare const abs: typeof Math.abs;
+      declare const pow: typeof Math.pow;
+      declare const log: typeof Math.log;
+      declare const exp: typeof Math.exp;
+      declare const random: typeof Math.random;
+    `,
+    libs: []
+  };
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Success Criteria

+
+---
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+### Manual Testing
+
+1. **Basic Math Expression**
+   - Create Expression node with `min(10, 5) + max(1, 2)`
+   - Verify result output is 7
+
+2. **Variable Reference**
+   - Set `Noodl.Variables.testVar = 42` in a Function node
+   - Create Expression node with `Noodl.Variables.testVar * 2`
+   - Verify result is 84
+
+3. **Reactive Update**
+   - Create Expression with `Noodl.Variables.counter`
+   - Connect a button to increment `Noodl.Variables.counter`
+   - Verify Expression result updates automatically on button click
+
+4. **Object Property Access**
+   - Create an Object with ID "TestObject" and property "name"
+   - Create Expression with `Noodl.Objects.TestObject.name`
+   - Verify result shows the name value
+
+5. **Ternary with Variables**
+   - Set `Noodl.Variables.isAdmin = true`
+   - Create Expression: `Noodl.Variables.isAdmin ? "Admin" : "User"`
+   - Verify result is "Admin"
+   - Toggle isAdmin to false, verify result changes to "User"
+
+6. **Template Literals**
+   - Set `Noodl.Variables.name = "Alice"`
+   - Create Expression: `` `Hello, ${Noodl.Variables.name}!` ``
+   - Verify result is "Hello, Alice!"
+
+7. **Syntax Error Handling**
+   - Create Expression with invalid syntax `1 +`
+   - Verify warning appears in editor
+   - Verify node doesn't crash
+
+8. **Typed Outputs**
+   - Create Expression: `"42"`
+   - Connect `asNumber` output to a Number display
+   - Verify it shows 42 as number
+
+### Automated Testing
+
+- [ ] Run `npm test` in packages/noodl-runtime
+- [ ] All expression-evaluator tests pass
+- [ ] Existing expression.test.js tests pass
+- [ ] No TypeScript errors in editor package
+
+---
+
+## Rollback Plan
+
+If issues are discovered:
+
+1. The expression-evaluator.js module is additive - can be removed without breaking existing code
+2. Expression node changes are backward compatible - old expressions work
+3. New outputs are additive - removing them won't break existing connections
+4. Keep original functionPreamble as fallback option
+
+---
+
+## Notes for Implementer
+
+### Important Patterns to Preserve
+
+1. **Input port generation** - The expression node dynamically creates input ports for referenced variables. This behavior should be preserved for explicit inputs while also supporting implicit Noodl.Variables access.
+
+2. **Scheduling** - Use `scheduleAfterInputsHaveUpdated` pattern for batching evaluations.
+
+3. **Caching** - The existing `cachedValue` pattern prevents unnecessary output updates.
+
+### Edge Cases to Handle
+
+1. **Circular dependencies** - What if Variable A's expression references Variable B and vice versa?
+2. **Missing variables** - Handle gracefully when referenced variable doesn't exist
+3. **Type coercion** - Be consistent with JavaScript's type coercion rules
+4. **Async expressions** - Current system is sync-only, keep it that way
+
+### Questions to Resolve During Implementation
+
+1. Should the shorthand `Variables.X` work without `Noodl.` prefix?
+   - **Recommendation:** Yes, add to preamble for convenience
+
+2. Should we detect unused input ports and warn?
+   - **Recommendation:** Not in this phase
+
+3. How to handle expressions that error at runtime?
+   - **Recommendation:** Return undefined, log error, don't crash

+# TASK: Inline Expression Properties in Property Panel
+
+## Overview
+
+Add the ability to toggle any node property between "fixed value" and "expression mode" directly in the property panel - similar to n8n's approach. When in expression mode, users can write JavaScript expressions that evaluate at runtime with full access to Noodl globals.
+
+**Estimated effort:** 3-4 weeks  
+**Priority:** High - Major UX modernization  
+**Dependencies:** Phase 1 (Enhanced Expression Node) must be complete
+
+---
+
+## Background & Motivation
+
+### The Problem Today
+
+To make any property dynamic in Noodl, users must:
+1. Create a separate Expression, Variable, or Function node
+2. Configure that node with the logic
+3. Draw a connection cable to the target property
+4. Repeat for every dynamic value
+
+**Result:** Canvas cluttered with helper nodes, hard to understand data flow.
+
+### The Solution
+
+Every property input gains a toggle between:
+- **Fixed Mode** (default): Traditional static value editing
+- **Expression Mode**: JavaScript expression evaluated at runtime
+
+```

+
+---
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Step 1: Extend Parameter Storage Model
+
+Parameters need to support both simple values and expression metadata.
+
+**Modify:** Node model parameter handling
+
+```typescript
+// New parameter value types
+interface FixedParameter {
+  value: any;
+}
+
+interface ExpressionParameter {
+  mode: 'expression';
+  expression: string;
+  fallback?: any;  // Value to use if expression errors
+  version?: number; // Expression system version for migration
+}
+
+type ParameterValue = any | ExpressionParameter;
+
+// Helper to check if parameter is expression
+function isExpressionParameter(param: any): param is ExpressionParameter {
+  return param && typeof param === 'object' && param.mode === 'expression';
+}
+
+// Helper to get display value
+function getParameterDisplayValue(param: ParameterValue): any {
+  if (isExpressionParameter(param)) {
+    return param.expression;
+  }
+  return param;
+}
+```
+
+**Ensure backward compatibility:**
+- Simple values (strings, numbers, etc.) continue to work as-is
+- Expression parameters are objects with `mode: 'expression'`
+- Serialization/deserialization handles both formats
+
+### Step 2: Create Expression Toggle Component
+
+**Create file:** `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/property-panel/ExpressionToggle/ExpressionToggle.tsx`
+
+```tsx
+import React from 'react';
+import { IconButton, IconButtonVariant } from '../../inputs/IconButton';
+import { IconName, IconSize } from '../../common/Icon';
+import { Tooltip } from '../../popups/Tooltip';
+import css from './ExpressionToggle.module.scss';
+
+export interface ExpressionToggleProps {
+  mode: 'fixed' | 'expression';
+  isConnected?: boolean;  // Port has cable connection
+  onToggle: () => void;
+  disabled?: boolean;
+}
+
+export function ExpressionToggle({
+  mode,
+  isConnected,
+  onToggle,
+  disabled
+}: ExpressionToggleProps) {
+  // If connected via cable, show connection indicator instead
+  if (isConnected) {
+    return (
+      <Tooltip content="Connected via cable">
+        <div className={css.connectionIndicator}>
+          <Icon name={IconName.Connection} size={IconSize.Tiny} />
+        </div>
+      </Tooltip>
+    );
+  }
+  
+  const tooltipText = mode === 'expression'
+    ? 'Switch to fixed value'
+    : 'Switch to expression';
+  
+  return (
+    <Tooltip content={tooltipText}>
+      <IconButton
+        icon={mode === 'expression' ? IconName.Function : IconName.Lightning}
+        size={IconSize.Tiny}
+        variant={mode === 'expression' 
+          ? IconButtonVariant.Active 
+          : IconButtonVariant.OpaqueOnHover}
+        onClick={onToggle}
+        isDisabled={disabled}
+        UNSAFE_className={mode === 'expression' ? css.expressionActive : undefined}
+      />
+    </Tooltip>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+**Create file:** `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/property-panel/ExpressionToggle/ExpressionToggle.module.scss`
+
+```scss
+.connectionIndicator {
+  width: 24px;
+  height: 24px;
+  display: flex;
+  align-items: center;
+  justify-content: center;
+  opacity: 0.5;
+}
+
+.expressionActive {
+  background-color: var(--theme-color-expression-bg, #6366f1);
+  color: white;
+  
+  &:hover {
+    background-color: var(--theme-color-expression-bg-hover, #4f46e5);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 3: Create Expression Input Component
+
+**Create file:** `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/property-panel/ExpressionInput/ExpressionInput.tsx`
+
+```tsx
+import React, { useState, useCallback } from 'react';

+import { IconButton } from '../../inputs/IconButton';
+import { IconName, IconSize } from '../../common/Icon';
+import { Tooltip } from '../../popups/Tooltip';
+import css from './ExpressionInput.module.scss';
+
+export interface ExpressionInputProps {
+  expression: string;
+  onChange: (expression: string) => void;
+  onOpenBuilder?: () => void;
+  expectedType?: string;  // 'string', 'number', 'boolean', 'color'
+  hasError?: boolean;
+  errorMessage?: string;
+}
+
+export function ExpressionInput({
+  expression,
+  onChange,

+  const handleKeyDown = useCallback((e: React.KeyboardEvent) => {
+    if (e.key === 'Enter' && !e.shiftKey) {
+      onChange(localValue);

+  }, [localValue, onChange]);
+  
+  return (
+    <div className={css.container}>
+      <span className={css.badge}>fx</span>
+      <TextInput
+        value={localValue}
+        onChange={(e) => setLocalValue(e.target.value)}
+        onBlur={handleBlur}
+        onKeyDown={handleKeyDown}
+        variant={TextInputVariant.Transparent}
+        placeholder="Enter expression..."
+        UNSAFE_style={{ fontFamily: 'monospace', fontSize: '12px' }}
+        UNSAFE_className={hasError ? css.hasError : undefined}

+        </Tooltip>
+      )}
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+**Create file:** `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/property-panel/ExpressionInput/ExpressionInput.module.scss`
+
+```scss
+.container {
+  display: flex;
+  align-items: center;
+  gap: 4px;
+  background-color: var(--theme-color-expression-input-bg, rgba(99, 102, 241, 0.1));

+  font-size: 10px;
+  font-weight: bold;

+```
+
+### Step 4: Integrate with PropertyPanelInput
+
+**Modify:** `packages/noodl-core-ui/src/components/property-panel/PropertyPanelInput/PropertyPanelInput.tsx`
+
+```tsx
+// Add to imports
+import { ExpressionToggle } from '../ExpressionToggle';
+import { ExpressionInput } from '../ExpressionInput';
+
+// Extend props interface
+export interface PropertyPanelInputProps extends Omit<PropertyPanelBaseInputProps, 'type'> {
+  label: string;
+  inputType: PropertyPanelInputType;
+  properties: TSFixme;
+  
+  // Expression support (new)
+  supportsExpression?: boolean;  // Default true for most types
+  expressionMode?: 'fixed' | 'expression';
+  expression?: string;
+  isConnected?: boolean;
+  onExpressionModeChange?: (mode: 'fixed' | 'expression') => void;
+  onExpressionChange?: (expression: string) => void;
+}
+
+export function PropertyPanelInput({
+  label,
+  value,
+  inputType = PropertyPanelInputType.Text,
+  properties,
+  isChanged,
+  isConnected,
+  onChange,
+  // Expression props
+  supportsExpression = true,
+  expressionMode = 'fixed',
+  expression,
+  onExpressionModeChange,
+  onExpressionChange
+}: PropertyPanelInputProps) {
+  
+  // Determine if we should show expression UI
+  const showExpressionToggle = supportsExpression && !isConnected;
+  const isExpressionMode = expressionMode === 'expression';
+  
+  // Handle mode toggle
+  const handleToggleMode = () => {
+    if (onExpressionModeChange) {
+      onExpressionModeChange(isExpressionMode ? 'fixed' : 'expression');
+    }
+  };
+  
+  // Render expression input or standard input
+  const renderInput = () => {
+    if (isExpressionMode && onExpressionChange) {
+      return (
+        <ExpressionInput
+          expression={expression || ''}
+          onChange={onExpressionChange}
+          expectedType={inputType}
+        />
+      );
+    }
+    
+    // Standard input rendering (existing code)
+    const Input = useMemo(() => {
+      switch (inputType) {
+        case PropertyPanelInputType.Text:
+          return PropertyPanelTextInput;
+        // ... rest of existing switch
+      }
+    }, [inputType]);
+    
+    return (

+          />
+        )}
+      </div>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Step 5: Wire Up to Property Editor
+
+**Modify:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/propertyeditor/DataTypes/BasicType.ts`
+
+This is where the connection between the model and property panel happens. Add expression support:
+
+```typescript
+// In the render or value handling logic:
+
+// Check if current parameter value is an expression
+const paramValue = parent.model.parameters[port.name];
+const isExpressionMode = isExpressionParameter(paramValue);
+
+// When mode changes:
+onExpressionModeChange(mode) {
+  if (mode === 'expression') {
+    // Convert current value to expression parameter
+    const currentValue = parent.model.parameters[port.name];
+    parent.model.setParameter(port.name, {
+      mode: 'expression',
+      expression: String(currentValue || ''),
+      fallback: currentValue,
+      version: ExpressionEvaluator.EXPRESSION_VERSION
+    });
+  } else {
+    // Convert back to fixed value
+    const param = parent.model.parameters[port.name];
+    const fixedValue = isExpressionParameter(param) ? param.fallback : param;
+    parent.model.setParameter(port.name, fixedValue);
+  }
+}
+
+// When expression changes:
+onExpressionChange(expression) {
+  const param = parent.model.parameters[port.name];
+  if (isExpressionParameter(param)) {
+    parent.model.setParameter(port.name, {
+      ...param,
+      expression
+    });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 6: Runtime Expression Evaluation
+
+**Modify:** `packages/noodl-runtime/src/node.js`
+
+Add expression evaluation to the parameter update flow:
+
+```javascript
+// In Node.prototype._onNodeModelParameterUpdated or similar:
+
+Node.prototype._evaluateExpressionParameter = function(paramName, paramValue) {
+  const ExpressionEvaluator = require('./expression-evaluator');
+  
+  if (!paramValue || paramValue.mode !== 'expression') {
+    return paramValue;
+  }
+  
+  // Compile and evaluate
+  const compiled = ExpressionEvaluator.compileExpression(paramValue.expression);
+  if (!compiled) {
+    return paramValue.fallback;
+  }
+  
+  const result = ExpressionEvaluator.evaluateExpression(compiled, this.context?.modelScope);
+  
+  // Set up reactive subscription if not already
+  if (!this._expressionSubscriptions) {
+    this._expressionSubscriptions = {};
+  }
+  
+  if (!this._expressionSubscriptions[paramName]) {
+    const deps = ExpressionEvaluator.detectDependencies(paramValue.expression);
+    if (deps.variables.length > 0 || deps.objects.length > 0 || deps.arrays.length > 0) {
+      this._expressionSubscriptions[paramName] = ExpressionEvaluator.subscribeToChanges(
+        deps,
+        () => {
+          // Re-evaluate and update
+          const newResult = ExpressionEvaluator.evaluateExpression(compiled, this.context?.modelScope);
+          this.queueInput(paramName, newResult);
+        },
+        this.context?.modelScope
+      );
+    }
+  }
+  
+  return result !== undefined ? result : paramValue.fallback;
+};
+
+// Clean up subscriptions on delete
+Node.prototype._onNodeDeleted = function() {
+  // ... existing cleanup ...
+  
+  // Clean up expression subscriptions
+  if (this._expressionSubscriptions) {
+    for (const unsub of Object.values(this._expressionSubscriptions)) {
+      if (typeof unsub === 'function') unsub();
+    }
+    this._expressionSubscriptions = null;
+  }
+};
+```
+
+### Step 7: Expression Builder Modal (Optional Enhancement)
+
+**Create file:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/views/panels/propertyeditor/ExpressionBuilder/ExpressionBuilder.tsx`
+
+A full-featured modal for complex expression editing:
+
+```tsx
+import React, { useState, useEffect, useMemo } from 'react';
+import { Modal } from '@noodl-core-ui/components/layout/Modal';
+import { MonacoEditor } from '@noodl-core-ui/components/inputs/MonacoEditor';
+import { TreeView } from '@noodl-core-ui/components/tree/TreeView';
+import css from './ExpressionBuilder.module.scss';
+
+interface ExpressionBuilderProps {
+  isOpen: boolean;
+  expression: string;
+  expectedType?: string;
+  onApply: (expression: string) => void;
+  onCancel: () => void;
+}
+
+export function ExpressionBuilder({
+  isOpen,
+  expression: initialExpression,
+  expectedType,
+  onApply,
+  onCancel
+}: ExpressionBuilderProps) {
+  const [expression, setExpression] = useState(initialExpression);
+  const [preview, setPreview] = useState<{ result: any; error?: string }>({ result: null });
+  
+  // Build available completions tree
+  const completionsTree = useMemo(() => {
+    // This would be populated from actual project data
+    return [
+      {
+        label: 'Noodl',
+        children: [
+          {
+            label: 'Variables',
+            children: [] // Populated from Noodl.Variables
+          },
+          {
+            label: 'Objects',
+            children: [] // Populated from known Object IDs
+          },

+          { label: 'random()', insertText: 'random()' }
+        ]
+      }
+    ];
+  }, []);
+  
+  // Live preview
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const ExpressionEvaluator = require('@noodl/runtime/src/expression-evaluator');
+    const validation = ExpressionEvaluator.validateExpression(expression);
+    
+    if (!validation.valid) {
+      setPreview({ result: null, error: validation.error });
+      return;
+    }
+    
+    const compiled = ExpressionEvaluator.compileExpression(expression);
+    if (compiled) {
+      const result = ExpressionEvaluator.evaluateExpression(compiled);
+      setPreview({ result, error: undefined });
+    }
+  }, [expression]);
+  
+  return (
+    <Modal
+      isOpen={isOpen}

+              wordWrap: 'on'
+            }}
+          />
+        </div>
+        
+        <div className={css.sidebar}>
+          <div className={css.completions}>
+            <h4>Available</h4>
+            <TreeView
+              items={completionsTree}
+              onItemClick={(item) => {
+                // Insert at cursor
+                if (item.insertText) {
+                  setExpression(prev => prev + item.insertText);
+                }
+              }}
+            />
+          </div>
+          
+          <div className={css.preview}>
+            <h4>Preview</h4>
+            {preview.error ? (
+              <div className={css.error}>{preview.error}</div>
+            ) : (
+              <div className={css.result}>
+                <div className={css.resultLabel}>Result:</div>
+                <div className={css.resultValue}>
+                  {JSON.stringify(preview.result)}
+                </div>
+                <div className={css.resultType}>
+                  Type: {typeof preview.result}
+                </div>
+              </div>
+            )}
+          </div>
+        </div>
+        
+        <div className={css.actions}>
+          <button onClick={onCancel}>Cancel</button>
+          <button onClick={() => onApply(expression)}>Apply</button>
+        </div>
+      </div>
+    </Modal>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Step 8: Add Keyboard Shortcuts
+
+**Modify:** `packages/noodl-editor/src/editor/src/constants/Keybindings.ts`
+
+```typescript
+export namespace Keybindings {
+  // ... existing keybindings ...
+  
+  // Expression shortcuts (new)
+  export const TOGGLE_EXPRESSION_MODE = new Keybinding(KeyMod.CtrlCmd, KeyCode.KEY_E);
+  export const OPEN_EXPRESSION_BUILDER = new Keybinding(KeyMod.CtrlCmd, KeyMod.Shift, KeyCode.KEY_E);
+}
+```
+
+### Step 9: Handle Property Types
+
+Different property types need type-appropriate expression handling:
+
+| Property Type | Expression Returns | Coercion |
+|--------------|-------------------|----------|
+| `string` | Any → String | `String(result)` |
+| `number` | Number | `Number(result) \|\| fallback` |
+| `boolean` | Truthy/Falsy | `!!result` |
+| `color` | Hex/RGB string | Validate format |
+| `enum` | Enum value string | Validate against options |
+| `component` | Component name | Validate exists |
+
+**Create file:** `packages/noodl-runtime/src/expression-type-coercion.js`
+
+```javascript
+/**
+ * Coerce expression result to expected property type
+ */
+function coerceToType(value, expectedType, fallback, enumOptions) {
+  if (value === undefined || value === null) {
+    return fallback;
+  }
+  
+  switch (expectedType) {
+    case 'string':
+      return String(value);
+      
+    case 'number':
+      const num = Number(value);
+      return isNaN(num) ? fallback : num;
+      
+    case 'boolean':
+      return !!value;
+      
+    case 'color':
+      const str = String(value);
+      // Basic validation for hex or rgb
+      if (/^#[0-9A-Fa-f]{6}$/.test(str) || /^rgba?\(/.test(str)) {
+        return str;
+      }
+      return fallback;
+      
+    case 'enum':
+      const enumVal = String(value);
+      if (enumOptions && enumOptions.some(opt => 
+        opt === enumVal || opt.value === enumVal
+      )) {
+        return enumVal;
+      }
+      return fallback;
+      
+    default:
+      return value;
+  }
+}
+
+module.exports = { coerceToType };
+```

+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+### Manual Testing
+
+1. **Basic Toggle**
+   - Select a Group node
+   - Find the "Margin Left" property
+   - Click expression toggle button
+   - Verify UI changes to expression mode
+   - Toggle back to fixed mode
+   - Verify original value is preserved
+
+2. **Expression Evaluation**
+   - Set a Group's margin to expression mode
+   - Enter: `Noodl.Variables.spacing || 16`
+   - Set `Noodl.Variables.spacing = 32` in a Function node
+   - Verify margin updates to 32
+
+3. **Reactive Updates**
+   - Create expression: `Noodl.Variables.isExpanded ? 200 : 50`
+   - Add button that toggles `Noodl.Variables.isExpanded`
+   - Click button, verify property updates
+   
+4. **Connected Port Behavior**
+   - Connect an output to a property input
+   - Verify expression toggle is disabled/hidden
+   - Disconnect
+   - Verify toggle is available again
+
+5. **Type Coercion**
+   - Number property with expression returning string "42"
+   - Verify it coerces to number 42
+   - Boolean property with expression returning "yes"
+   - Verify it coerces to true
+
+6. **Error Handling**
+   - Enter invalid expression: `1 +`
+   - Verify error indicator appears
+   - Verify property uses fallback value
+   - Fix expression
+   - Verify error clears
+
+7. **Undo/Redo**
+   - Change property to expression mode
+   - Undo (Cmd+Z)
+   - Verify returns to fixed mode
+   - Redo
+   - Verify returns to expression mode
+
+8. **Project Save/Load**
+   - Create property with expression
+   - Save project
+   - Close and reopen project
+   - Verify expression is preserved and working
+
+### Property Type Coverage
+
+- [ ] Text input with expression
+- [ ] Number input with expression
+- [ ] Number with units (px, %, etc.) with expression
+- [ ] Checkbox/boolean with expression
+- [ ] Dropdown/select with expression
+- [ ] Color picker with expression
+- [ ] Slider with expression
+
+### Edge Cases
+
+- [ ] Expression referencing non-existent variable
+- [ ] Expression with runtime error (division by zero)
+- [ ] Very long expression
+- [ ] Expression with special characters
+- [ ] Expression in visual state parameter
+- [ ] Expression in variant parameter
+
+---
+
+## Migration Considerations
+
+### Existing Projects
+
+- Existing projects have simple parameter values
+- These continue to work as-is (backward compatible)
+- No automatic migration needed
+
+### Future Expression Version Changes
+
+If we need to change the expression context in the future:
+1. Increment `EXPRESSION_VERSION` in expression-evaluator.js
+2. Add migration logic to handle old version expressions
+3. Show warning for expressions with old version
+
+---
+
+## Notes for Implementer
+
+### Important Patterns
+
+1. **Model-View Separation**
+   - Property panel is the view
+   - NodeGraphNode.parameters is the model
+   - Changes go through `setParameter()` for undo support
+
+2. **Port Connection Priority**
+   - Connected ports take precedence over expressions
+   - Connected ports take precedence over fixed values
+   - This is existing behavior, preserve it
+
+3. **Visual States**
+   - Visual state parameters use `paramName_stateName` pattern
+   - Expression parameters in visual states need same pattern
+   - Example: `marginLeft_hover` could be an expression
+
+### Edge Cases to Handle
+
+1. **Expression references port that's also connected**
+   - Expression should still work
+   - Connected value might be available via `this.inputs.X`
+
+2. **Circular expressions**
+   - Expression A references Variable that's set by Expression B
+   - Shouldn't cause infinite loop (dependency tracking prevents)
+
+3. **Expressions in cloud runtime**
+   - Cloud uses different Noodl.js API
+   - Ensure expression-evaluator works in both contexts
+
+### Questions to Resolve
+
+1. **Which property types should NOT support expressions?**
+   - Recommendation: component picker, image picker
+   - These need special UI that doesn't fit expression pattern
+
+2. **Should expressions work in style properties?**
+   - Recommendation: Yes, if using inputCss pattern
+   - CSS values often need to be dynamic
+
+3. **Mobile/responsive expressions?**
+   - Recommendation: Expressions can reference `Noodl.Variables.screenWidth`
+   - Combine with existing variants system
