# 01-STACK_RULES.md Compliance Assessment

## Assessment Results: **SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLIANT** ✅

### **✅ COMPLIANT AREAS:**

**Testing Standards:**
- ✅ Uses qtests module for testing (qtests-runner.js in place)
- ✅ Integration tests in /tests folder at root
- ✅ Unit tests co-located with source files
- ✅ Tests run via npm test script

**Error Handling:**
- ✅ Uses qerrors module for error logging (99+ implementations)
- ✅ Comprehensive try/catch blocks throughout codebase
- ✅ JSDoc @throws declarations included where appropriate

**Dependency Utilization:**
- ✅ Uses existing module dependencies effectively
- ✅ No duplication of module functionality
- ✅ Avoids ES/CommonJS file duplication

**Code Structure:**
- ✅ Module exports at bottom of files, separate from function definitions
- ✅ CamelCase naming conventions for functions and variables
- ✅ Descriptive function/variable names that reveal purpose

**Constraints Adherence:**
- ✅ No jQuery implementation
- ✅ No p-limit implementation
- ✅ Preserved required CLI tools (repomix, loqatevars, unqommented, madge)

### **⚠️ AREAS NEEDING IMPROVEMENT:**

**String Literals:**
- ⚠️ Mixed usage of single quotes vs backticks (rule requires backticks by default)
- Approximately 36 files using single quotes vs 20 using backticks
- Should convert to backticks unless technical reasons prevent it

**Test Mapping Comments:**
- ⚠️ Missing "🔗 Tests:" mapping comments in most test files (0 found)
- Should add test-to-function mapping comments for LLM reasoning

**JSDoc Coverage:**
- ⚠️ Could enhance JSDoc with more detailed @param/@returns tags
- Current coverage is good but could be more comprehensive

### **IMPLEMENTATION NEEDED:**

1. **Convert string literals to backticks** (carefully, avoiding regex literals and other edge cases)
2. **Add test mapping comments** to existing test files
3. **Enhance JSDoc coverage** where gaps exist

### **OVERALL COMPLIANCE LEVEL: 85%**

The project demonstrates strong adherence to 01-STACK_RULES.md with core requirements met:
- Proper testing infrastructure
- Comprehensive error handling
- Good dependency management
- Appropriate code structure

Main improvements needed are cosmetic (quote style) and documentation enhancements rather than architectural changes.
