Introduce backlog.tasks, a project backlog in vscode-todotasks format
(not Markdown), seeded as a reusable template: Setup, v1.0, Bugs,
Enhancements, Documentation and Maintenance projects, with the
implementation tasks to be filled in later.
Document the format in AGENTS.md so agents can read and update the file,
recommend sandy081.todotasks in .vscode/extensions.json, and whitelist
"todotasks" for cspell, which both new mentions otherwise fail.
The branch, review and release policy is deliberately not asserted here:
it is unsettled, so it is tracked as a task-group under Setup and AGENTS.md
tells agents to take branch and merge instructions from the user until that
work is documented.
Prettier is no longer a project dependency and oxc.oxc-vscode handles
formatting for all file types the project touches. Switch [json],
[jsonc], [markdown], [mdx], and [yaml] formatters from
esbenp.prettier-vscode to oxc.oxc-vscode (oxfmt under the hood,
Prettier-compatible for JS/TS and native for JSON/MD/YAML).
Drop 'esbenp' from cspell dictionary (no longer referenced).
- Add .node-version (single line: '26') so fnm/nvm/volta/mise and the
VS Code Node version manager extension auto-switch when entering the
project directory
- engines.node in package.json: bump from '>=22.6' to '>=26' (npm-side
install-time declaration)
- Drop --experimental-strip-types flag from node --test invocations:
Node 26 has --strip-types unflagged
- .github/workflows/ci.yml: switch from hard-coded node-version: 24 to
node-version-file: .node-version in both build and publish jobs so CI
follows the .node-version file (single source of truth)
- .npmignore: add .node-version (developer-tool file, not for publish)
- .vscode/settings.json: pin js/ts.tsdk.path to node_modules/typescript/lib
so the editor uses the project's TS 7, not a different global install
- .vscode/extensions.json: swap ms-vscode.vscode-typescript-next for
typescriptteam.native-preview (the official TS team extension that
ships nightly TS support, including TS 7)
- cspell: add 'esbenp' and 'typescriptteam' to dictionary
- package-lock.json: regenerated for engines.node >=26
tsconfig.json target/lib are unchanged: es2024 is the highest stable ES
target TS 7.0.2 ships, and Node 26 supports all ES2024 features natively.
- Drop .eslintrc.cjs and .prettierrc, add .oxlintrc.json and .oxfmtrc.json
- oxlint covers correctness/suspicious/perf/style/restriction categories
plus import and typescript plugins; oxfmt reads the same .prettierrc-style
options we had before
- Update lefthook.yml pre-commit jobs to run oxlint/oxfmt instead of
eslint/prettier
- Update .vscode/extensions.json (oxc replaces eslint/prettier/vitest) and
settings.json (oxc becomes the default formatter for TS/JS)
- Add 'oxlint', 'oxfmt', 'oxc', 'nodenext' to cspell dictionary
- Rewrite README 'Development' section to describe the new toolchain
