Development

Use this document for day-to-day implementation mechanics: commands, generated files, loaded artifacts, source layout, naming, validation, and common pitfalls. For product boundaries and design rationale, see docs/design.md.

Commands

npm ci
npm run format
npm run check

Run npm run format after edits and before npm run check so Biome formatting issues are fixed upfront. npm run check runs TypeScript type checking, unit tests, lint checks, Biome format check, CSS verification, and the production esbuild bundle. npm run check:ci uses the same checks with CI cache settings for TypeScript, tests, and ESLint. Use npm run build when you need to refresh Obsidian-loaded assets without running the full check.

Formatting and general JavaScript/TypeScript/JSON linting and JavaScript/TypeScript/CSS/JSON formatting are handled by Biome. The Biome lint configuration explicitly uses the recommended preset, with accessibility diagnostics downgraded to info while the Obsidian-specific UI semantics are reviewed rule by rule. CSS is formatted by Biome but excluded from Biome linting so CSS lint policy stays centralized in Stylelint and the project CSS usage script. ESLint remains for rules that need TypeScript parser services, React Hooks analysis, Obsidian text checks, or Codex Panel responsibility-boundary checks.

Generated and Loaded Files

main.js, styles.css, data.json, and node_modules/ are ignored by Git. main.js and styles.css are still the files Obsidian loads, so run npm run build before live Obsidian validation if you have not already run npm run check after the source change.

CSS is authored in src/styles/ and generated into the ignored root styles.css release asset. Use npm run build:styles when only regenerating CSS; it also verifies the authored CSS order before writing styles.css.

The app-server TypeScript bindings in src/generated/app-server/ are generated from the installed Codex CLI:

npm run generate:app-server-types
npm run check

The generation script uses codex app-server generate-ts --experimental because the panel depends on experimental app-server fields. Do not hand-edit generated bindings.

Source Layout

The source tree is organized by implementation ownership, not by the single Obsidian plugin entrypoint:

  • src/main.ts and src/plugin-runtime.ts own Obsidian plugin registration, lifecycle wiring, and cross-surface runtime coordination.
  • src/app-server/ owns the app-server boundary, including connection code, protocol adapters, app-server services, shared queries, and generated payload adaptation.
  • src/features/ contains feature-owned surfaces and workflows. Feature-to-feature imports are acceptable only when the imported feature owns a concrete capability.
  • src/workspace/ and src/settings/ own Obsidian workspace coordination and settings-tab behavior.
  • src/domain/ contains panel-owned, generated-independent meaning models and pure derivations. Domain code must not import app-server protocol, generated bindings, feature modules, UI, or Obsidian APIs.
  • src/shared/ contains feature-neutral helpers. Move behavior here only when it is genuinely shared outside one feature.
  • src/styles/ contains authored CSS modules and order.json; scripts/build-styles.mjs concatenates them into the ignored root styles.css release asset.

Within src/features/chat/:

  • domain/ owns chat-local meaning models and pure derivations for message stream items, pending request display facts, runtime intent, local IDs, and turn diffs.
  • application/ owns chat state transitions and workflow orchestration for composer input, turn submission, thread lifecycle, pending requests, runtime settings, connection status, and reducer state.
  • app-server/ adapts app-server notifications, requests, thread payloads, diagnostics, and turn items into chat-owned actions, projections, and message stream models.
  • host/ wires each chat session to Obsidian views, workspace services, app-server clients, plugin settings, shared runtime data, lifecycle cleanup, and cross-surface handles.
  • panel/ owns the Preact shell, shell-state projection, panel controllers, toolbar/composer/message-stream surface adapters, and Obsidian-facing panel snapshots.
  • presentation/ owns view-model projection, grouping, formatting, and status text for chat UI surfaces.
  • ui/ owns Preact and explicit DOM bridge rendering pieces for the composer, toolbar, goal view, message stream, and turn diff view.

Placement Rules

Keep new code near the state or API it owns. A feature may import another feature only for a capability that feature owns. Feature-neutral behavior belongs in src/shared/, src/domain/, or src/app-server/.

Generated app-server types should stay behind src/app-server/ or chat-local app-server integration modules. If a domain, shared, settings, workspace, or UI module needs app-server data, add or reuse a panel-owned projection at the boundary instead of importing generated payload types directly.

Chat panel-visible state belongs in ChatStateStore and should flow through named reducer actions and the shell-state adapter. Use Preact Signals only in src/features/chat/panel/shell-state.tsx; lint enforces this boundary. When a surface needs fewer dependencies, add or reuse a named shell-state projection instead of importing @preact/signals elsewhere.

Use imperative DOM writes only for explicit bridge modules, Obsidian-owned API boundaries, or rendering and measurement code that cannot be expressed cleanly as Preact components.

CSS Rules

CSS should stay native to Obsidian. Prefer Obsidian variables and Codex Panel tokens for color, typography, spacing, and layout dimensions instead of hardcoded values.

Keep selectors shallow and specific to Codex Panel classes. Avoid broad invalidation patterns such as :has(), hidden specificity inside :where(), IDs, universal selectors, and unnecessary type selectors. Add new authored CSS files to src/styles/order.json, and remove unused or test-only codex-panel classes instead of keeping dead styles.

Naming Conventions

Name modules by responsibility: use Controller only for stateful lifecycle/control surfaces, Handler for inbound event or request entrypoints, Actions for caller-facing command or callback bundles without lifecycle ownership, Coordinator for stateful background or cross-surface coordination, Service for reusable domain capabilities, Presenter for UI state projection, Renderer for render-only UI contracts, and Host/Ports for dependency boundary objects. Use State, Snapshot, Projection, ViewModel, Options, Context, Result, Target, Capabilities, or ActionTargets for data/value objects; do not use Actions for passive data. Use boundary/infrastructure nouns such as Client, Transport, Cache, Store, Catalog, Manager, Bridge, Tracker, Session, Runtime, Provider, or Adapter only when the object owns that concrete boundary or lifecycle role.

Prefer functions and factory-created objects over classes. Use a class only when it owns mutable lifecycle/resource state, extends or implements an external class-based API such as Obsidian views/modals/tabs, or represents an Error; do not use a class merely to group pure functions or dependencies.

Common Pitfalls

  • Build before Obsidian validation. Obsidian loads ignored root assets, not the TypeScript or authored CSS sources directly.
  • Keep generated app-server types behind src/app-server/ unless docs/design.md documents a boundary exception.
  • Preserve last-known-good app-server state on refresh failure. Do not turn disconnected reads into authoritative empty thread lists, settings snapshots, hook inventories, or diagnostics.
  • Normalize optional and nullable app-server values before display. Users should not see raw undefined, null, protocol enum gaps, or fallback labels that imply Panel owns a Codex runtime setting.
  • Route chat-visible state through ChatStateStore when it must synchronize with app-server notifications, turns, pending requests, runtime settings, history cursors, or open details.
  • Do not use DOM order as message history state. Message stream DOM is a presentation surface, and delayed Markdown rendering can change heights after initial render.

API Baselines

Use the local API baseline report when checking whether the development environment matches the supported API policy:

npm run api:baseline

Obsidian runtime compatibility is declared through manifest.json and versions.json. The obsidian npm package provides compile-time TypeScript API definitions; it is not runtime validation for an Obsidian app-version matrix. Because the project does not run app-version smoke tests, keep the API type package in the same minor as manifest.minAppVersion and use the latest patch in that minor for local type checking. npm run api:baseline exits non-zero when the local environment or recorded baselines drift. Raise manifest.minAppVersion only when intentionally adopting a newer Obsidian app/API minor.

Codex app-server compatibility is managed by Codex CLI minor version. README records the tested Codex CLI patch version, and the baseline check verifies that the local codex --version is in the same minor before app-server binding or compatibility work.
