Lucas WintherandClaude Opus 5 53707b14ca feat(tooling): drive headless Chrome, and see the app for the first time
CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md and TODO.md all said no browser exists
in this environment, so appearance had never been verified by anyone. Chrome
is on PATH. Its own --screenshot flag is what fails: it fires on the load
event, before this app's async IndexedDB read resolves, and captures a blank
page — which is presumably how the claim took hold.

scripts/screenshot.ts drives CDP instead: waits past the load event, seeds
IndexedDB via --eval-file and reboots the app with --reload, clicks with
--click, applies shadcn's class-based dark palette with --dark, and reports
console errors and uncaught exceptions. A page that renders blank from a
thrown error looks identical to an empty one, so the console output is half
the value.

Two defects found by simply looking:

- The month table's numeric columns had no horizontal padding, so figures ran
  into each other: "+7,175.00 DKK4,200.00 DKK". Now padded.
- Dev logged "The script has an unsupported MIME type ('text/html')" on every
  boot, because registerServiceWorker asks for sw.js and the "/*" catch-all
  answered with the HTML shell. Dev now serves an inert worker.

Confirmed working, first time seen: the carry meter (including red where a post
is overspent), the Task 5 rule-history editor, the Task 6 "change from here"
control, and baked FX rates showing as "manual - 2026-09-01" in Settings.

Recorded in the docs, with the limits stated: this container's fontconfig maps
every generic family to a monospace face, so screenshots need a FONTCONFIG_FILE
override or you will chase a font bug that does not exist; Chrome starts from
an empty profile each run; and no screenshot can judge how a design feels.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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; overriding it
drops hover contrast below WCAG AA app-wide. Project tokens are `--budget-*`.
- **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
`bun scripts/screenshot.ts <url> <out.png>` drives it over CDP: it waits past
the async IndexedDB read (which plain `--screenshot` does not), can seed data
with `--eval-file`, click with `--click`, and reports console errors and
uncaught exceptions. Read the PNG it writes — you can see the app. Use it
before claiming anything about layout.
Two things to know before trusting a screenshot:
- **This container's fontconfig resolves every generic family to Fira Code, a
monospace font**, so the whole UI renders monospaced in a way no real user
sees. Point `FONTCONFIG_FILE` at an override that maps the generics to
installed sans/mono faces, or you will "fix" a font bug that does not exist.
- Chrome launches with a fresh profile each run, so IndexedDB starts empty and
the app re-seeds. Pass `--eval-file=<seed.js> --reload` for populated data.
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.
