Detailed Implementation Plan

Type System Enhancements

• Create standardized interfaces for the new architecture

• Create clean separation between content acquisition and processing
• Add pluggable extension points for new strategies

Processor Registry

• Create a pluggable processor system for different content types
• Implement processor selection based on content type
• Add processor prioritization for multiple processors per type
• Support runtime processor registration

Adapter Registry

• Implement a registry for content adapters
• Create adapter providers with priority-based selection
• Add dynamic adapter creation based on content path
• Support runtime adapter registration

React Integration

• Create a hook factory for registry interaction
• Encapsulate registry operations in custom hooks
• Implement consistent loading, error, and watching patterns
• Support multiple registry instances with different configurations

File Structure Reorganization

• Create dedicated directories for each architectural layer
• Move components to directory-per-component approach
• Implement Strategy and Provider patterns with clear organization
• Organize types by architectural layer

Testing Infrastructure

• Add tests for core interfaces and implementations
• Create mocks for adapters, processors, and registries
• Implement test utilities for common patterns
• Add test coverage metrics
• Test the complete content flow from request to render
• Create fixtures for different content types
• Test error handling and edge cases
• Validate content watching and real-time updates

Developer Experience

• Create comprehensive testing infrastructure
• Implement development tools for content editing
• Design debugging and profiling utilities

Documentation

• Create architecture documentation
• Develop content authoring guides
• Build component library documentation

Q3 2025 (Jul-Sep)

Performance Optimization
