1. Added a 100ms initial delay to allow render completion
2. Implemented recursive element search that:
- Searches through nested children up to 5 levels deep
- - Checks shadow roots of elements
- - Handles complex DOM structures
+ - Checks both light DOM and shadow DOM for all elements
+ - Handles complex DOM structures generically
+ - Works with any wrapper elements, not specific to dees-demowrapper
3. Added retry mechanism with up to 5 attempts (200ms between retries)
4. Improved error messages to show retry count
+5. Comprehensive error handling:
+ - Errors in element search don't break the update cycle
+ - Individual property errors don't prevent other properties from rendering
+ - scheduleUpdate always completes even if createProperties fails
+ - Clears warnings and property content appropriately on errors
### Code Flow
1. Dashboard renders element demo into viewport using `render(anonItem.demo(), viewport)`

+## Fixed Properties Panel Compatibility:
+- Made element search generic - works with any container elements
+- Searches both light DOM and shadow DOM recursively
+- Improved error handling to prevent breaking the update cycle
+- Errors in one property don't prevent others from rendering
+- Detection continues working even after errors occur
+- Maintains compatibility with all element structures
+
+# Test Elements Created (COMPLETED)
+
+## Created comprehensive test elements:
+1. **test-noprops** - Element with no @property decorators
+2. **test-complextypes** - Element with arrays, objects, dates, and complex nested data
+3. **test-withwrapper** - Element that uses dees-demowrapper in its demo
+4. **test-edgecases** - Element with edge cases (null, undefined, NaN, Infinity, circular refs)
+5. **test-nested** - Element with deeply nested structure to test recursive search
+
+These test various scenarios:
+- Properties panel handling of elements without properties
+- Complex data type display and editing
+- Element detection inside dees-demowrapper
+- Error handling for problematic values
+- Deep nesting and shadow DOM traversal
