This commit addresses failures in end-to-end tests that occurred due to
`ResizeObserver` loop limit exceptions.
These errors were triggered by Vue dependency upgrades in the commit
aae5434451.
The errors had the following message:
> `ResizeObserver loop completed with undelivered notifications`
This error happens when there are too many observations and the observer
is not able to deliver all observations within a single animation frame.
See: WICG/resize-observer#38
his commit resolves the issue by controlling how many observations are
delivered per animation frame and limiting it to only one.
It improves performance by reducing layout trashing, improving frame
rates, and managing resources more effectively.
Changes:
- Introduce an animation frame control to manage observations more
efficiently.
- Centralized `ResizeObserver` management within the `UseResizeObserver`
hook to improve consistency and reuse across the application.
This commit fixes a bug that causes tooltips to be slightly misaligned.
Tooltip positioning was incorrect during modal transitions due to their
initial movement, causing tooltips to align incorrectly at the start of
the animation rather than the end.
One way to solve this would be using `autoUpdate` from `floating-ui`
with `animationFrame: true`. However, this recalculates positions tens
of times per second, impacting performance. This is a monkey solution.
This commit adopts a more efficient approach by updating tooltip
positions only at the end of the transitions, which reduces calculations
and conserves resources.
Key changes:
- Addd transition end event listener for updating tooltip positions.
- Use throttling to eliminate excessive position recalculations.
Other supporting changes:
- Improve throttle function to support efficient recalculations of
positions:
- Add ability to optionally exclude the first execution (leading
call).
- Refactor to simplify it make it easier to follow and read.
- Fix a bug where initial calls were incorrectly throttled if
`dateNow()` returned `0`.
- Introduce and use a global hook for efficient DOM event management.
This greatily introduce safety, reuse and testability of event
listening.
This commit upgrades TypeScript to the latest version 5.3 and introduces
`verbatimModuleSyntax` in line with the official Vue guide
recommendatinos (vuejs/docs#2592).
By enforcing `import type` for type-only imports, this commit improves
code clarity and supports tooling optimization, ensuring imports are
only bundled when necessary for runtime.
Changes:
- Bump TypeScript to 5.3.3 across the project.
- Adjust import statements to utilize `import type` where applicable,
promoting cleaner and more efficient code.
The project's slagon has been updated back to "Privacy is sexy" from
"Now you have the choice" for enhanced brand clarity and memorability.
This change also reflects the community's preference and aligns with the
project's established identity.
This commit also refactors naming and structure of project information
(metadata) struct to enhance clarity and maintainability in relation to
changing the slogan.
Key changes include:
- Update UI components to display the revised slogan.
- Remove period from project slogan in code area for consistency with a
explanatory comment for future maintainability.
- Refactor header container and class names for clarity.
- Standardize project metadata usage in `TheCodeArea.vue` to ensure
consistency.

This commit introduces system-native error dialogs on desktop
application for code save or execution failures, addressing user confusion
described in issue #264.
This commit adds informative feedback when script execution or saving
fails.
Changes:
- Implement support for system-native error dialogs.
- Refactor `CodeRunner` and `Dialog` interfaces and their
implementations to improve error handling and provide better type
safety.
- Introduce structured error handling, allowing UI to display detailed
error messages.
- Replace error throwing with an error object interface for controlled
handling. This ensures that errors are propagated to the renderer
process without being limited by Electron's error object
serialization limitations as detailed in electron/electron#24427.
- Add logging for dialog actions to aid in troubleshooting.
- Rename `fileName` to `defaultFilename` in `saveFile` functions
to clarify its purpose.
- Centralize message assertion in `LoggerStub` for consistency.
- Introduce `expectTrue` in tests for clearer boolean assertions.
- Standardize `filename` usage across the codebase.

- Update related documentation.
This commit introduces native operating system file dialogs in the
desktop application replacing the existing web-based dialogs.
It lays the foundation for future enhancements such as:
- Providing error messages when saving or executing files, addressing
#264.
- Creating system restore points, addressing #50.
Documentation updates:
- Update `desktop-vs-web-features.md` with added functionality.

- Add tests for the save file dialog in the browser context.
- Add `Blob` polyfill in tests to compensate for the missing
`blob.text()` function in `jsdom` (see jsdom/jsdom#2555).
Improve environment detection logic:
- Treat test environment as browser environments to correctly activate
features based on the environment. This resolves issues where the
environment is misidentified as desktop, but Electron preloader APIs
are missing.
- Rename `isDesktop` environment identification variable to
`isRunningAsDesktopApplication` for better clarity and to avoid
confusion with desktop environments in web/browser/test environments.
- Simplify `BrowserRuntimeEnvironment` to consistently detect
non-desktop application environments.
- Improve environment detection for Electron main process
(electron/electron#2288).
This commit improves the handling of paths with spaces or special
characters during script execution in the desktop application.
Key improvements:
- Paths are now quoted for macOS/Linux, addressing issues with
whitespace or single quotes.
- Windows paths are enclosed in double quotes to handle special
characters.
Other supporting changes:
- Add more documentation for terminal execution commands.
- Refactor terminal script file execution into a dedicated file for
improved separation of concerns.
- Refactor naming of `RuntimeEnvironment` to align with naming
conventions (no interface with I prefix) and for clarity.
- Refactor `TemporaryFileCodeRunner` to simplify it by removing the `os`
parameter and handling OS-specific logic within the filename generator
instead.
- Refactor `fileName` to `filename` for consistency.
This commit enhances application security against potential attacks by
isolating dependencies that access the host system (like file
operations) from the renderer process. It narrows the exposed
functionality to script execution only, adding an extra security layer.
The changes allow secure and scalable API exposure, preparing for future
functionalities such as desktop notifications for script errors (#264),
improved script execution handling (#296), and creating restore points
(#50) in a secure and repeatable way.
Changes include:
- Inject `CodeRunner` into Vue components via dependency injection.
- Move `CodeRunner` to the application layer as an abstraction for
better domain-driven design alignment.
- Refactor `SystemOperations` and related interfaces, removing the `I`
prefix.
- Update architecture documentation for clarity.
- Update return types in `NodeSystemOperations` to match the Node APIs.
- Improve `WindowVariablesProvider` integration tests for better error
context.
- Centralize type checks with common functions like `isArray` and
`isNumber`.
- Change `CodeRunner` to use `os` parameter, ensuring correct window
variable injection.
- Streamline API exposure to the renderer process:
- Automatically bind function contexts to prevent loss of original
context.
- Implement a way to create facades (wrapper/proxy objects) for
increased security.
- Migrate to `electron-log` v5.X.X, centralizing log files to adhere to
best-practices.
- Add critical event logging in the log file.
- Replace `ElectronLog` type with `LogFunctions` for better abstraction.
- Unify log handling in `desktop-runtime-error` by removing
`renderer.log` due to `electron-log` v5 changes.
- Update and extend logger interfaces, removing 'I' prefix and adding
common log levels to abstract `electron-log` completely.
- Move logger interfaces to the application layer as it's cross-cutting
concern, meanwhile keeping the implementations in the infrastructure
layer.
- Introduce `useLogger` hook for easier logging in Vue components.
- Simplify `WindowVariables` by removing nullable properties.
- Improve documentation to clearly differentiate between desktop and web
versions, outlining specific features of each.
This commit introduces a batched debounce mechanism for managing user
selection state changes. It effectively reduces unnecessary processing
during rapid script checking, preventing multiple triggers for code
compilation and UI rendering.
Key improvements include:
- Enhanced performance, especially noticeable when selecting large
categories. This update resolves minor UI freezes experienced when
selecting categories with numerous scripts.
- Correction of a bug where the code area only highlighted the last
selected script when multiple scripts were chosen.
Other changes include:
- Timing functions:
- Create a `Timing` folder for `throttle` and the new
`batchedDebounce` functions.
- Move these functions to the application layer from the presentation
layer, reflecting their application-wide use.
- Refactor existing code for improved clarity, naming consistency, and
adherence to new naming conventions.
- Add missing unit tests.
- `UserSelection`:
- State modifications in `UserSelection` now utilize a singular object
inspired by the CQRS pattern, enabling batch updates and flexible
change configurations, thereby simplifying change management.
- Remove the `I` prefix from related interfaces to align with new coding
standards.
- Refactor related code for better testability in isolation with
dependency injection.
- Repository:
- Move repository abstractions to the application layer.
- Improve repository abstraction to combine `ReadonlyRepository` and
`MutableRepository` interfaces.

- `SelectedScript`:
- Create an abstraction for simplified testability.
- Introduce `SelectedScriptStub` in tests as a substitute for the
actual object.
This commit applies `strictNullChecks` to the entire codebase to improve
maintainability and type safety. Key changes include:
- Remove some explicit null-checks where unnecessary.
- Add necessary null-checks.
- Refactor static factory functions for a more functional approach.
- Improve some test names and contexts for better debugging.
- Add unit tests for any additional logic introduced.
- Refactor `createPositionFromRegexFullMatch` to its own function as the
logic is reused.
- Prefer `find` prefix on functions that may return `undefined` and
`get` prefix for those that always return a value.
This commit introduces `useUserSelectionState` compositional hook. it
centralizes and allows reusing the logic for tracking and mutation user
selection state across the application.
The change aims to increase code reusability, simplify the code, improve
testability, and adhere to the single responsibility principle. It makes
the code more reliable against race conditions and removes the need for
tracking deep changes.
Other supporting changes:
- Introduce `CardStateIndicator` component for displaying the card state
indicator icon, improving the testability and separation of concerns.
- Refactor `SelectionTypeHandler` to use functional code with more clear
interfaces to simplify the code. It reduces complexity, increases
maintainability and increase readability by explicitly separating
mutating functions.
- Add new unit tests and extend improving ones to cover the new logic
introduced in this commit. Remove the need to mount a wrapper
component to simplify and optimize some tests, using parameter
injection to inject dependencies intead.
This commit fixes the bug where the "Copy" button does not copy when
clicked on download instructions modal (on Linux and macOS).
This commit also introduces several improvements to the UI components
related to copy action and their interaction with the clipboard feature.
It adds more tests to avoid regression of the bugs and improves
maintainability, testability and adherence to Vue's reactive principles.
Changes include:
- Fix non-responsive copy button in the download instructions modal by
triggering a `click` event in `AppIcon.vue`.
- Improve `TheCodeButtons.vue`:
- Remove redundant `getCurrentCode` function.
- Separate components for each button for better separation of
concerns and higher testability.
- Use the `gap` property in the flexbox layout, replacing the less
explicit sibling combinator approach.
- Add `useClipboard` compositional hook for more idiomatic Vue approach
to interacting with the clipboard.
- Add `useCurrentCode` compositional hook to handle current code state
more effectively with unified logic.
- Abstract clipboard operations to an interface to isolate
responsibilities.

moving away from the deprecated `document.execCommand`.
- Move clipboard logic to the presentation layer to conform to
separation of concerns and domain-driven design principles.
- Improve `IconButton.vue` component to increase reusability with
consistent sizing.
- Replace `ref`s with `shallowRef` when deep reactivity is not needed.
- Replace `readonly`s with `shallowReadonly` where the goal is to only
prevent `.value` mutation.
- Remove redundant `ref` in `SizeObserver.vue`.
- Remove redundant nested `ref` in `TooltipWrapper.vue`.
- Remove redundant `events` export from `UseCollectionState.ts`.
- Remove redundant `computed` from `UseCollectionState.ts`.
- Remove `timestamp` from `TreeViewFilterEvent` that becomes unnecessary
after using `shallowRef`.
- Add missing unit tests for `UseTreeViewFilterEvent`.
- Add missing stub for `FilterChangeDetails`.
This commit fixes an issue where the tooltip position becomes inaccurate
after resizing the window.
The solution uses `autoUpdate` functionality of `floating-ui` to update
the position automatically on resize events. This function depends on
browser APIs: `IntersectionObserver` and `ResizeObserver`. The official
documentation recommends polyfilling those to support old browsers.
Polyfilling `ResizeObserver` is already part of the codebase, used by
`SizeObserver.vue`. This commit refactors polyfill logic to be reusable
across different components, and reuses it on `TooltipWrapper.vue`.
Polyfilling `IntersectionObserver` is ignored due to this API being
older and more widely supported.
This commit simplifies event handling, providing a unified and robust
way to handle event lifecycling. This way, it fixes events not being
unsubscribed when state is changed.
Introduce a new function in `EventSubscriptionCollection` to remove
existing events and adding new events. This provides an easier to use
API, which leads to code that's easier to understand. It also prevents
potential bugs that may occur due to forgetting to call both functions.
It fixes `TheScriptsMenu` not unregistering events on state change.
Other improvements include:
- Include a getter to get total amount of registered subcriptions.
This helps in unit testing.
- Have nullish checks to prevent potential errors further down the
execution.
- Use array instead of rest parameters to increase readability and
simplify tests.
Ensure `SliderHandler` stops resizes on unmount, unsubscribing from all
events and resetting state to default.
Update `injectionKeys` to do imports as types to avoid circular
dependencies. Simplify importing `injectionKeys` to enable and strict
typings for iterating injection keys.
Add tests covering new behavior.
Test improvements:
- Capture titles for all macOS windows, not just the frontmost.
- Incorporate missing application log files.
- Improve log clarity with enriched context.
- Improve application termination on macOS by reducing grace period.
- Ensure complete application termination on macOS.
- Validate Vue application loading through an initial log.
- Support ignoring environment-specific `stderr` errors.
- Do not fail the test if working directory cannot be deleted.
- Use retry pattern when installing dependencies due to network errors.
Refactorings:
- Migrate the test code to TypeScript.
- Replace deprecated `rmdir` with `rm` for error-resistant directory
removal.
- Improve sanity checking by shifting from App.vue to Vue bootstrapper.
- Centralize environment variable management with `EnvironmentVariables`
construct.
- Rename infrastructure/Environment to RuntimeEnvironment for clarity.
- Isolate WindowVariables and SystemOperations from RuntimeEnvironment.
- Inject logging via preloader.
- Correct mislabeled RuntimeSanity tests.
Configuration:
- Introduce `npm run check:desktop` for simplified execution.
- Omit `console.log` override due to `nodeIntegration` restrictions and
reveal logging functionality using context-bridging.
Enable `contextIsolation` in Electron to securely expose a limited set
of Node.js APIs to the renderer process. It:
1. Isolates renderer and main process contexts. It ensures that the
powerful main process functions aren't directly accessible from
renderer process(es), adding a security boundary.
2. Mitigates remote exploitation risks. By isolating contexts, potential
malicious code injections in the renderer can't directly reach and
compromise the main process.
3. Reduces attack surface.
4. Protect against prototype pollution: It prevents tampering of
JavaScript object prototypes in one context from affecting another
context, improving app reliability and security.
Supporting changes include:
- Extract environment and system operations classes to the infrastructure
layer. This removes node dependencies from core domain and application
code.
- Introduce `ISystemOperations` to encapsulate OS interactions. Use it
from `CodeRunner` to isolate node API usage.
- Add a preloader script to inject validated environment variables into
renderer context. This keeps Electron integration details
encapsulated.
- Add new sanity check to fail fast on issues with preloader injected
variables.
- Improve test coverage of runtime sanity checks and environment
components. Move validation logic into separate classes for Single
Responsibility.
- Improve absent value test case generation.
- Fix a bug (introduced in 1b9be8fe) preventing the tree view from being
visible during a search.
- Fix a minor bug where the scripts view does not render based on the
initial filter.
- Add Vue component tests for `TheScriptView` to prevent regressions.
- Refactor `isSearching` in `TheScriptView` to simplify its logic.
- Remove existing integration tests for hooks as they're redundant after
this change.
- Document the pattern in relevant documentation.
- Introduce `useEnvironment` to increase testability.
- Update components to inject dependencies rather than importing hooks
directly.
- Migrate `StatefulVue`:
- Introduce `UseCollectionState` that replaces its behavior and acts
as a shared state store.
- Add more encapsulated, granular functions based on read or write
access to state in CollectionState.
- Some linting rules get activates due to new code-base compability to
modern parses, fix linting errors.
- Rename Dialog to ModalDialog as after refactoring,
eslintvue/no-reserved-component-names does not allow name Dialog.
- To comply with `vue/multi-word-component-names`, rename:
- `Code` -> `CodeInstruction`
- `Handle` -> `SliderHandle`
- `Documentable` -> `DocumentableNode`
- `Node` -> `NodeContent`
- `INode` -> `INodeContent`
- `Responsive` -> `SizeObserver`
- Remove `vue-property-decorator` and `vue-class-component`
dependencies.
- Refactor `watch` with computed properties when possible for cleaner
code.
- Introduce `UseApplication` to reduce repeated code in new components
that use `computed` more heavily than before.
- Change TypeScript target to `es2017` to allow top level async calls
for getting application context/state/instance to simplify the code by
removing async calls. However, mocha (unit and integration) tests do
not run with top level awaits, so a workaround is used.
