 # Project Hints and Findings
 
+## TypeScript 6.0 & Build Tooling (2026-04-12)
+
+### TypeScript 6.0 Strict Defaults
+TypeScript 6.0.2 (shipped with tsbuild 4.4.0) changes `strict` to `true` by default. The project explicitly sets `"strict": false` in tsconfig.json to preserve pre-TS6 behavior. Also added `"types": ["node"]` since TS6 changed `@types/*` auto-discovery.
+
+### Config Migration: npmextra.json → .smartconfig.json
+Build tools (tsbundle 2.10.0, tswatch 3.3.2) now use `@push.rocks/smartconfig` which reads `.smartconfig.json` (with leading dot). The old `npmextra.json` was renamed.
+
+### tsbundle Configuration
+The `tsbundle element` subcommand no longer exists. Instead, bundle configuration lives in `.smartconfig.json` under `"@git.zone/tsbundle"` with a `bundles` array. Entry point is `./html/index.ts` → `./dist_bundle/bundle.js`.

+### 🗂️ Demo Groups

+Organize elements into groups within a section for better discoverability:
+
+```typescript
+@customElement('my-input')
+export class MyInput extends DeesElement {
+  // Single group
+  public static demoGroups = 'Form Controls';
+
+  // Or multiple groups — element appears in each
+  public static demoGroups = ['Form Controls', 'Inputs'];

+  public static demo = () => html`<my-input></my-input>`;
+}
+```
+
+Groups appear as collapsible headers in the sidebar, sorted alphabetically. Searching matches group names too — searching "Form Controls" shows all elements in that group.
