Key Design Decisions & Rationale + +| Decision | Rationale | +|----------|-----------| +| **Store commandString in WindowInstance** | Preserves exact user input, enables lossless editing. Optional field ensures backward compatibility. | +| **Separate history atom** | Clean separation of concerns, independent persistence, easier to add limits without affecting main state. | +| **Full state snapshots (not deltas)** | Simpler implementation, reliable undo/redo. Structural sharing keeps memory reasonable. 50-entry circular buffer prevents unbounded growth. | +| **Git-style history (truncate future)** | Simple mental model matching text editors. Users understand "undo to desired state, continue from there." | +| **Explicit history recording** | Reliable and predictable. Action metadata (command string, window ID) readily available. | +| **Async command parsing support** | Commands like `profile alice@domain.com` require NIP-05 resolution. EditDialog shows loading state during async operations. | +| **localStorage for history** | Simple, persistent, works offline. Can migrate to IndexedDB if needed for unlimited history. | +| **currentIndex = -1 for present** | Clear distinction between "at present" vs "in past". Makes redo logic simpler. | + +--- + +## 6. Edge Cases Handled + +| Edge Case | Solution | +|-----------|----------| +| **Old windows without commandString** | Use `generateRawCommand()` as fallback. Optionally mark as "[reconstructed]" in UI. | +| **Async command parsing** | Show loading state in EditCommandDialog. Handle errors gracefully with error message display. | +| **Invalid command after edit** | Parse validation before updating. Display error message, don't update window. | +| **New action after undo** | Truncate future entries (Git-style). User proceeds from undone state. | +| **History memory limits** | Circular buffer with maxEntries (50). Oldest entries automatically dropped. | +| **Layout changes without commands** | Debounce layout changes, record LAYOUT_CHANGED action after 1s of inactivity. | +| **localStorage quota exceeded** | Jotai's storage handles gracefully. Can implement compression if needed (LZ-string). | +| **Command that opens multiple windows** | HistoryAction supports `windowIds: string[]` for future extension. | +| **Undo/redo keyboard shortcuts conflict** | Use standard shortcuts (⌘Z, ⌘⇧Z) that don't conflict with browser or other app shortcuts. | + +--- + +## 7. Testing Strategy + +### Unit Tests + +```typescript +// src/core/history.test.ts +describe('History System', () => { + describe('recordAction', () => { + it('adds entry to history', () => { ... }); + it('maintains maxEntries limit', () => { ... }); + it('truncates future when in past state', () => { ... }); + it('stores both stateBefore and stateAfter', () => { ... }); + }); + + describe('undo', () => { + it('restores stateBefore', () => { ... }); + it('updates currentIndex correctly', () => { ... }); + it('returns unchanged when at limit', () => { ... }); + it('works with multiple undo operations', () => { ... }); + }); + + describe('redo', () => { + it('restores stateAfter', () => { ... }); + it('returns unchanged when at present', () => { ... }); + it('works after multiple undos', () => { ... }); + }); + + describe('circular buffer', () => { + it('drops oldest entries when maxEntries exceeded', () => { ... }); + it('maintains correct currentIndex after truncation', () => { ... }); + }); +}); + +// src/core/logic.test.ts +describe('updateWindow', () => { + it('updates window props', () => { ... }); + it('updates title', () => { ... }); + it('updates commandString', () => { ... }); + it('updates appId', () => { ... }); + it('updates multiple fields at once', () => { ... }); + it('returns unchanged for nonexistent window', () => { ... }); + it('preserves other window fields', () => { ... }); +}); +``` + +### Integration Tests (Manual) + +1. **Edit Command Flow:** + - Execute `profile alice@domain.com` + - Click edit button + - Change to `profile bob@domain.com` + - Verify window updates with new profile data + +2. **Undo/Redo Flow:** + - Execute multiple commands (profile, req, open) + - Undo each command (⌘Z) + - Verify state restored correctly + - Redo each command (⌘⇧Z) + - Verify state matches original + +3. **History Navigation:** + - Open command palette + - Press ↑ multiple times + - Verify recent commands appear + - Press ↓ to go back + - Verify command changes + +4. **Async Command Editing:** + - Edit profile window with NIP-05 + - Verify loading state shown + - Verify update after resolution completes + +5. **Error Handling:** + - Edit command to invalid syntax + - Verify error message shown + - Verify window not updated + +6. **History Limits:** + - Execute >50 commands + - Verify oldest commands dropped + - Verify undo still works correctly + +### Performance Tests + +1. **History Storage Size:** + - Execute 50 commands + - Check localStorage size + - Verify <1MB (reasonable limit) + +2. **Undo/Redo Latency:** + - Measure time to undo with complex state + - Should be <50ms (imperceptible) + +3. **Command Parsing:** + - Measure async NIP-05 resolution time + - Should complete within 2-3 seconds + +--- + +## 8. Performance Considerations + +| Aspect | Performance | Notes | +|--------|-------------|-------| +| **Memory** | ~10MB for 50 entries | Within localStorage limits. Each state ~100KB. Structural sharing reduces actual memory usage. | +| **Undo/Redo latency** | <10ms | O(1) state swap, imperceptible to user. | +| **History recording** | <5ms | `structuredClone()` is native and fast. | +| **localStorage writes** | Debounced by Jotai | No performance impact on normal operations. Writes happen in background. | +| **Command parsing** | Varies (50ms - 3s) | Depends on async operations (NIP-05). Loading state shown during parse. | + +### Future Optimizations (if needed) + +1. **Delta encoding** - Store only changed fields instead of full state snapshots + - Pro: ~90% memory reduction + - Con: Complex implementation, harder debugging + +2. **LZ-string compression** - Compress state snapshots before localStorage + - Pro: 50-70% size reduction + - Con: CPU overhead for compress/decompress + +3. **IndexedDB migration** - Move from localStorage to IndexedDB + - Pro: No size limits, better performance for large datasets + - Con: More complex API, async operations + +4. **Lazy loading** - Only keep recent N entries in memory + - Pro: Reduced memory footprint + - Con: Async loading on undo, more complex code + +**Recommendation:** Start with simple approach. Optimize only if profiling shows real issues. + +--- + +## 9.

Security & Privacy Considerations + +| Concern | Mitigation | +|---------|-----------| +| **Sensitive data in history** | History stored in localStorage (same origin only).
