Key Organizational Principles

1. Core Engine Isolation

   • Core JSX functionality isolated in core/
   • Clear separation of runtime, types, and functions
   • Functional implementation

2. System Organization

   • All systems under systems/ directory
   • Each system has dedicated functions.js
   • Clear separation of concerns

3. Feature Management

   • Features isolated in features/ directory
   • Each feature is self-contained
   • Reduced root directory complexity

4. Security Focus

   • Dedicated security/ directory
   • Centralized security functions
   • Easy security auditing

5. Utility Functions

   • Functions for common operations
   • Organized by data type
   • Easily composable

6. Test Organization

   • Tests mirror source structure
   • Co-located with implementation
   • Facilitates TDD approach

7. Example Structure

   • Clear progression path
   • Basic to advanced examples
   • Educational organization

8. Documentation

   • Organized by purpose
   • Clear architectural docs
   • Maintainable structure

Implementation Guidelines

1. File Naming

   • Use kebab-case for files
   • functions.js for functions
   • Clear, descriptive names

2. Function Organization

   • Functions in functions.js
   • Implementation details separate
   • Clear type signatures

3. Module Structure

   • Export functions
   • No side effects
   • Clear dependencies

4. Testing Requirements

   • Test files mirror source
   • Function testing
   • Property-based tests

Migration Strategy

1. Core Migration

   • Move core files first
   • Update imports
   • Verify functionality

2. System Migration

   • Migrate one system at a time
   • Update dependencies
   • Maintain functionality

3. Feature Migration

   • Move features individually
   • Update imports
   • Test thoroughly

4. Documentation Update

   • Update all docs
   • Verify consistency
   • Update examples

Implementation Standards

1. Type System:

   • Mandatory use of Maybe, Either, Result types
   • Functional type definitions only
   • No class-based or object-oriented patterns

2. State Management:

   • Functional state transitions only:

   // Standard Functional State Pattern
   const updateState = compose(
     validateState,
     transformState,
     verifyImmutability
   );

3. Effect System:

   • Consistent naming: Effect.of
   • Functional effect composition
   • Isolated side effects in effect system only

Technical Standards

Core Implementation Patterns

1. Functional Composition

   • All operations use compose/pipe patterns
   • Pure function composition for all features
   • Curry implementation for partial application
   • No class-based or object-oriented patterns

2. Type System Implementation

   • Maybe type for optional values
   • Either type for error handling
   • Result type for operation outcomes
   • Validation type for form validation
   • All types implemented as pure functions

3. State Management

   • Immutable state transitions only
   • Functional data structures throughout
   • No JavaScript objects for state
   • Pure functional state updates

4. Effect System

   • Isolated side effects in effect system
   • Pure effect cleanup functions
   • Explicit effect dependencies
   • No unconstrained side effects

5. Testing Coverage

   • Property-based testing for core functions
   • Pure function verification
   • State transition testing
   • Effect isolation testing

6. Code Safety

   • Functional error handling with Either type
   • No try/catch outside effect system
   • Pure function error propagation
   • Browser-native security patterns only
