Lucas WintherandClaude Opus 5 bd5a01e03e chore(tooling): make the screenshot recipe work with no setup
Two things this session depended on lived only in a scratchpad, so the next
agent would have had to reinvent them from a prose hint:

- scripts/screenshot-fonts.conf, now applied by screenshot.ts itself. Without
  it this container renders every generic font family as Fira Code and the UI
  looks monospaced in a way no user sees — a trap that nearly produced a "fix"
  for a font bug that does not exist.
- scripts/demo-data.ts, which seeds a visibly synthetic dataset. Without it
  every screenshot shows an app full of zeros, because Chrome starts from a
  fresh profile each run.

CLAUDE.md now carries the two-command recipe verbatim instead of "point
FONTCONFIG_FILE at an override", and says why --reload is mandatory. Verified
from a clean shell with no environment set.

Also flags docs/superpowers/plans/2026-09-01-budget-app.md as a historical
record: its snippets still show CURRENCIES and CURRENCY_DIGITS, which no
longer exist, and an agent reading it as current would be misled.

Default to using Bun instead of Node.js.
- Use `bun <file>` instead of `node <file>` or `ts-node <file>`
- Use `bun test` instead of `jest` or `vitest`
- Use `bun build <file.html|file.ts|file.css>` instead of `webpack` or `esbuild`
- Use `bun install` instead of `npm install` or `yarn install` or `pnpm install`
- Use `bun run <script>` instead of `npm run <script>` or `yarn run <script>` or `pnpm run <script>`
- Use `bunx <package> <command>` instead of `npx <package> <command>`
- Bun automatically loads .env, so don't use dotenv.
## APIs
- `Bun.serve()` supports WebSockets, HTTPS, and routes. Don't use `express`.
- `bun:sqlite` for SQLite. Don't use `better-sqlite3`.
- `Bun.redis` for Redis. Don't use `ioredis`.
- `Bun.sql` for Postgres. Don't use `pg` or `postgres.js`.
- `WebSocket` is built-in. Don't use `ws`.
- Prefer `Bun.file` over `node:fs`'s readFile/writeFile
- Bun.$`ls` instead of execa.
## Testing
Use `bun test` to run tests.
```ts#index.test.ts
import { test, expect } from "bun:test";
test("hello world", () => {
expect(1).toBe(1);
});
```
## Frontend
Use HTML imports with `Bun.serve()`. Don't use `vite`. HTML imports fully support React, CSS, Tailwind.
Server:
```ts#index.ts
import index from "./index.html"
Bun.serve({
routes: {
"/": index,
"/api/users/:id": {
GET: (req) => {
return new Response(JSON.stringify({ id: req.params.id }));
},
},
},
// optional websocket support
websocket: {
open: (ws) => {
ws.send("Hello, world!");
},
message: (ws, message) => {
ws.send(message);
},
close: (ws) => {
// handle close
}
},
development: {
hmr: true,
console: true,
}
})
```
HTML files can import .tsx, .jsx or .js files directly and Bun's bundler will transpile & bundle automatically. `<link>` tags can point to stylesheets and Bun's CSS bundler will bundle.
```html#index.html
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
<script type="module" src="./frontend.tsx"></script>
</body>
</html>
```
With the following `frontend.tsx`:
```tsx#frontend.tsx
import React from "react";
import { createRoot } from "react-dom/client";
// import .css files directly and it works
import './index.css';
const root = createRoot(document.body);
export default function Frontend() {
return <h1>Hello, world!</h1>;
}
root.render(<Frontend />);
```
Then, run index.ts
```sh
bun --hot ./index.ts
```
For more information, read the Bun API docs in `node_modules/bun-types/docs/**.mdx`.
## Project invariants (Budget 2.0)
- `src/domain/` is pure: no React, no IndexedDB, no `Date.now()`, no `new Date()`
without an explicit argument. It must be testable with no DOM.
- Money is a float. Always round with `roundMoney` from `src/domain/money.ts`
after any division, after any FX conversion, and before persisting.
- **`roundMoney(amount, digits)` takes a DIGIT COUNT, not a currency code.**
Decimal places live in `Dataset.currencies`, because the owner defines
currencies; resolve them with `digitsFor(dataset.currencies, code)`. The
argument is required on purpose — a default of 2 is right for every currency
the app shipped with, so a missed call site would pass every test and be
silently wrong for the first zero-decimal currency added.
- When splitting an amount, never round the last part independently. Compute it
as `total - sum(others)` so the parts sum exactly to the whole.
- `MonthId` is the string `"YYYY-MM"`. Stored data never contains `Date` objects.
- **`Currency` is an open string code; `Dataset.currencies` is the authority.**
There is no global list of valid currencies any more. A code is IDENTITY — it
keys the FX table and every stored `Money` — so codes are normalised
uppercase, are never editable, and a currency still referenced cannot be
removed (`currencyUsage` names what refers to it). `parseDatasetJson`
validates the table and every `Money` against it; that boundary check is
what replaced the compile-time safety of the old closed union.
- The envelope rollover fold has exactly one implementation, in
`src/domain/fold.ts`. Year and summary views aggregate over it — they never
reimplement the math.
- Over-budget is always allowed. Never add validation that blocks it.
- An amount field parses its own currency: "30$" is thirty dollars. Use
`parseMoneyInput` (`src/ui/moneyInput.ts`) and keep the input `type="text"` —
a number input discards the "$" before the parser ever sees it.
- Base path comes from `BUN_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH`; never hardcode a subpath, and
read it through a `try/catch` accessor — see the gotcha below.
- A post's allocation is a dated series, `Post.rules: RuleVersion[]`, resolved by
`ruleAt(post, monthId)`. `Post.standingRule` no longer exists. A post with no
applicable version allocates zero; a per-month override still wins outright.
- Posts are archived, never deleted, because purchases reference them. Archived
posts still fold.
## Start here
- `ARCHITECTURE.md` — layers, data flow, and why the non-obvious choices are
what they are. Read it before changing anything structural.
- `TODO.md` — queued work, each item carrying the reasoning already settled.
- `PRODUCT.md` — who this is for and what must never break.
- `docs/superpowers/specs/` — design decisions, including alternatives rejected.
## Gotchas that cost real bugs
Each of these shipped once. Re-introducing one is a regression, not a style
choice.
- **Never read `event.target.value` inside a `mutate()` callback.** `mutate`
defers behind the write queue; React resets the input's DOM value first, so
you commit the old value. Capture into a `const` in the handler.
`src/ui/eventCapture.test.ts` fails the build otherwise.
- **`process.env.BUN_PUBLIC_*` must be read via `try/catch`** (see
`readBasePathEnv`). Bun inlines the literal only when the variable is set;
unset, the bare reference reaches the browser and throws before the app boots.
A `typeof process` guard does not work — it survives inlining and discards the
inlined value, silently breaking subpath deploys.
- **Never define a bare `--accent` CSS variable.** shadcn owns it as a hover
BACKGROUND paired with `--accent-foreground`; setting one without the other
drops hover contrast below WCAG AA app-wide. Redefine shadcn tokens only in
pairs — `src/cssPairs.test.ts` enforces it — and put brand colour on
`--primary`, never `--accent`. Project tokens are `--budget-*`.
- **A `var(--token)` naming a token `src/index.css` does not define paints
NOTHING, silently.** An undefined custom property invalidates the whole
declaration: no warning, no throw, no fallback. Renaming `--rule` this way
killed the carry meter and no test noticed. `src/ui/cssTokens.test.ts` guards
it.
- **A React error boundary does not catch event-handler throws.** Domain
functions that throw must be guarded at the call site when called from one.
- **Do not "fix" a domain throw by making it return a fallback.** Silently wrong
numbers are worse than a visible error in a budgeting app.
## Deliberately absent validation
Adding a "missing" guard here is a regression:
- going over budget, anywhere;
- allocation percentages summing past 100%;
- splits that do not sum to the total (the remainder-absorbing split reconciles
them by design);
- negative amounts — a refund is a normal line.
## Verification limits
**There IS a browser here.** `google-chrome` is on PATH, and
`scripts/screenshot.ts` drives it over CDP — it waits past the async IndexedDB
read (which Chrome's own `--screenshot` does not, which is why the docs used to
claim no browser existed), and it reports console errors and uncaught
exceptions. Read the PNG it writes. Use it before claiming anything about
layout.
The whole recipe, from a running `bun run dev`:
```sh
bun scripts/demo-data.ts /tmp/seed.js
bun scripts/screenshot.ts http://localhost:3000/month/2026-09 /tmp/shot.png \
--eval-file=/tmp/seed.js --reload
```
Then read `/tmp/shot.png`. Other flags: `--dark`, `--full`, `--w/--h`,
`--click=<selector>`, `--profile=<dir>` (keeps a service worker and IndexedDB
across runs — required for anything stateful), `--eval-after-file` (observe a
flow that ends in a navigation from the far side of it).
Two things that would otherwise waste your time:
- **`--reload` is not optional.** Chrome starts from a fresh profile each run,
so the app re-seeds itself empty; seeding IndexedDB only takes effect on the
next boot. Without it every screenshot shows an app full of zeros.
- **This container's fontconfig resolves every generic family to Fira Code, a
monospace font.** The UI then renders monospaced in a way no real user sees,
and the last agent to look nearly "fixed" a font bug that did not exist.
`scripts/screenshot-fonts.conf` corrects it and the script applies it
automatically — do not undo that, and do not trust a screenshot taken with
`FONTCONFIG_FILE` set to something else.
Still **not** verifiable here, so do not claim it: real offline behaviour, the
install and update prompts, opening the generated `.ods` in a spreadsheet, and
anything about how the design *feels*. A screenshot proves a layout exists and
is not broken; it does not prove it is good. Substitute a real check where one
exists — structural validation of the `.ods`, curl against the dev server,
pure-function tests — and state plainly what still needs a human.
