+# Code Style and Conventions for TaskBuffer
+
+## File Structure
+- Source code in `ts/` directory
+- Tests in `test/` directory
+- Compiled output in `dist_ts/`
+- All filenames must be lowercase
+
+## Naming Conventions
+- **Interfaces**: Prefix with `I` (e.g., `ITaskFunction`)
+- **Types**: Prefix with `T` (e.g., `TPreOrAfterTaskFunction`)
+- **Classes**: PascalCase (e.g., `TaskManager`)
+- **Files**: `taskbuffer.classes.{classname}.ts` pattern
+- **Test files**: `test.{number}.{feature}.ts` pattern
+
+## TypeScript Conventions
+- Use ES modules (import/export)
+- Avoid ENums when possible
+- Import dependencies through `plugins.ts`
+- Reference with full path: `plugins.myModule.myClass()`
+- Use async/await patterns consistently
+- Strong typing throughout
+
+## Testing Conventions
+- Import expect from `@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle`
+- Test files end with `export default tap.start()`
+- Use descriptive test names with tap.test()
+- Test both browser and node when applicable
+
+## Code Quality
+- Make focused, goal-oriented changes
+- Preserve necessary complexity
+- Keep code elegant and maintainable
+- No inline documentation unless requested
+- Complete implementations only (no partial work)

+# TaskBuffer Project Overview
+
+## Purpose
+@push.rocks/taskbuffer is a powerful TypeScript-first task management library for orchestrating asynchronous operations. It provides flexible task execution patterns including buffered execution, task chains, parallel execution, scheduling, debouncing, and one-time execution.
+
+## Tech Stack
+- **Language**: TypeScript (ES modules)
+- **Runtime**: Node.js
+- **Build Tool**: tsbuild, tsbundle
+- **Test Framework**: @git.zone/tstest (tapbundle)
+- **Package Manager**: pnpm
+- **Module System**: ES modules (type: "module")
+
+## Key Features
+- Task: Basic unit of work with async function wrapping
+- Taskchain: Sequential task execution with result passing
+- Taskparallel: Parallel task execution
+- TaskManager: Cron-based task scheduling
+- TaskDebounced: Debounced execution pattern
+- TaskOnce: Singleton execution pattern
+- TaskRunner: Distributed task execution
+- BufferRunner: Smart concurrent execution control
+
+## Main Entry Points
+- Main export: `ts/index.ts`
+- Compiled output: `dist_ts/index.js`
+- All classes exported from index for clean API

+# Task Completion Checklist for TaskBuffer
+
+## Before Marking Any Task Complete
+
+### 1. Code Quality Checks
+- [ ] Run build to ensure TypeScript compiles: `pnpm run build`
+- [ ] Run tests to ensure nothing breaks: `pnpm test`
+- [ ] Type check test files: `tsbuild check test/**/* --skiplibcheck`
+
+### 2. Code Review
+- [ ] All changes are focused and purposeful
+- [ ] No unnecessary modifications made
+- [ ] Code follows project naming conventions
+- [ ] Imports use the plugins.ts pattern where applicable
+- [ ] All async operations use proper async/await
+
+### 3. Testing
+- [ ] New features have corresponding tests
+- [ ] Existing tests still pass
+- [ ] Test files end with `export default tap.start()`
+- [ ] Tests use proper expect from tapbundle
+
+### 4. Documentation
+- [ ] readme.md updated if new features added
+- [ ] Code is self-explanatory (no comments unless requested)
+- [ ] API changes documented
+
+### 5. Git Hygiene
+- [ ] Changes are staged appropriately
+- [ ] Commit message is clear and focused
+- [ ] NO commits made without explicit user approval
+
+## Common Issues to Check
+- No uppercase filenames
+- No direct npm usage (use pnpm)
+- No guessing APIs (always check documentation)
+- No partial implementations

+# Changelog
+
+## 2025-09-07 - 3.4.0 - feat(taskbuffer-dashboard)
+Add TaskBuffer dashboard web component, demo and browser tests; add HTML entry and update dependencies
+
+- Introduce a new web component taskbuffer-dashboard for real-time visualization of tasks and schedules (ts_web/taskbuffer-dashboard.ts).
+- Add a demo wrapper and interactive UI for the dashboard (ts_web/elements/taskbuffer-dashboard.demo.ts).
+- Provide web exports and typings for web usage (ts_web/index.ts) and include an HTML entry (html/index.html).
+- Add browser-oriented tests to validate metadata structures for the web component (test/test.10.webcomponent.browser.ts).
+- Bump package version to 3.3.0 in package.json as part of this change.
+- Update/add dependencies and devDependencies (@design.estate/dees-element added; smartlog, @git.zone/tsbuild and @git.zone/tstest bumped).
+
+## 2025-09-06 - 3.2.0 - feat(core)
+Add step-based progress tracking, task metadata and enhanced TaskManager scheduling/metadata APIs
+
+- Introduce TaskStep class for named, weighted steps with timing and status (pending|active|completed).
+- Add step-tracking to Task: notifyStep, getProgress, getStepsMetadata, getMetadata, resetSteps and internal step lifecycle handling.
+- Task now records runCount and lastRun; Task.run flow resets/cleans steps and aggregates progress.
+- TaskManager enhancements: schedule/deschedule improvements, performDistributedConsultation, and new metadata-focused APIs: getTaskMetadata, getAllTasksMetadata, getScheduledTasks, getNextScheduledRuns, addExecuteRemoveTask (exec + collect report).
+- Exports updated: TaskStep and related types exported from index, plus Task metadata interfaces.
+- Comprehensive README updates documenting step-based progress tracking, metadata, TaskManager and examples.
+- New/updated tests added for step behavior and metadata (test/test.9.steps.ts) and other TS additions.
+- Minor build/script change: build script updated to use 'tsbuild tsfolders'.
+
+## 2025-08-26 - 3.1.10 - fix(task)
+Implement core Task execution flow, buffering and lifecycle; update README with generics and buffer docs
+
+- Implement Task.runTask including preTask/afterTask chaining, touched-task cycle prevention and error handling.
+- Add Task helpers: extractTask, isTask, isTaskTouched and emptyTaskFunction (resolved promise).
+- Introduce task lifecycle coordination: finished promise, resolveFinished, and blockingTasks to await dependent tasks.
+- Support taskSetup/setupValue, execDelay handling, and wait-for-blocking-tasks before execution.
+- Wire up trigger() to choose buffered vs unbuffered execution (triggerBuffered / triggerUnBuffered) and integrate BufferRunner.
+- Improve logging and safer promise handling (caught errors are logged).
+- Update README with extended TypeScript generics examples and expanded buffer behavior and strategies documentation.
+
+## 2025-08-26 - 3.1.9 - fix(tests)
+Update CI workflows, fix tests and refresh README/package metadata

+```
+
+## 🎯 Core Concepts
+
+### Task Buffering - Intelligent Request Management
+
+TaskBuffer's buffering system prevents overwhelming your system with rapid-fire requests:
+
+```typescript
+const apiTask = new Task({
+  name: 'APIRequest',
+  taskFunction: async (endpoint) => {
+    return await fetch(endpoint).then(r => r.json());
+  },
+  buffered: true,
+  bufferMax: 5,  // Maximum 5 concurrent executions
+  execDelay: 100 // Minimum 100ms between executions
+});
+
+// Rapid fire 100 calls - only 5 will execute concurrently
+for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
+  apiTask.trigger(`/api/data/${i}`);
+}
+```
+
+**Buffer Behavior:**
+- First `bufferMax` calls execute immediately
+- Additional calls are queued
+- When buffer is full, new calls overwrite the last queued item
+- Perfect for real-time data streams where only recent data matters
+
+### Task Chains - Sequential Workflows
+
+Build complex workflows with automatic data flow:
+
+```typescript
+import { Task, Taskchain } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+
+const fetchTask = new Task({
+  name: 'FetchData',
+  taskFunction: async () => {
+    const response = await fetch('/api/data');
+    return response.json();
+  }
+});
+
+const transformTask = new Task({
+  name: 'TransformData',
+  taskFunction: async (data) => {
+    return data.map(item => ({
+      ...item,
+      transformed: true,
+      timestamp: Date.now()
+    }));
+  }
+});
+
+const saveTask = new Task({
+  name: 'SaveData',
+  taskFunction: async (transformedData) => {
+    await database.save(transformedData);
+    return transformedData.length;
+  }
+});
+
+// Create and execute chain
+const dataChain = new Taskchain({
+  name: 'DataPipeline',
+  tasks: [fetchTask, transformTask, saveTask]
+});
+
+const savedCount = await dataChain.trigger();
+console.log(`Saved ${savedCount} items`);
+```
+
+### Parallel Execution - Concurrent Processing
+
+Execute multiple tasks simultaneously:
+
+```typescript
+import { TaskParallel } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+
+const parallel = new TaskParallel({
+  name: 'ParallelProcessor',
+  tasks: [
+    emailTask,
+    smsTask,
+    pushNotificationTask,
+    webhookTask
+  ]
+});
+
+// All tasks execute concurrently
+const results = await parallel.trigger(notificationData);
+// results = [emailResult, smsResult, pushResult, webhookResult]
+```
+
+### TaskManager - Centralized Orchestration
+
+Manage all your tasks from a single point:
+
+```typescript
+const taskManager = new TaskManager();
+
+// Add tasks
+taskManager.addTask(dataProcessor);
+taskManager.addTask(deploymentTask);
+
+// Schedule tasks with cron
+taskManager.addAndScheduleTask(backupTask, '0 2 * * *'); // Daily at 2 AM
+taskManager.addAndScheduleTask(healthCheck, '*/5 * * * *'); // Every 5 minutes
+
+// Get task metadata
+const metadata = taskManager.getTaskMetadata('DeployApplication');
+console.log(metadata);
+// {
+//   name: 'DeployApplication',
+//   status: 'idle' | 'running' | 'completed' | 'failed',
+//   steps: [...],
+//   currentProgress: 75,
+//   runCount: 12,
+//   lastRun: Date,
+//   buffered: false,
+//   bufferMax: undefined,
+//   version: '1.0.0',
+//   timeout: 30000
+// }
+
+// Get all scheduled tasks
+const scheduled = taskManager.getScheduledTasks();
+scheduled.forEach(task => {
+  console.log(`${task.name}: Next run at ${task.nextRun}`);
+});
+
+// Execute and remove pattern
+const report = await taskManager.addExecuteRemoveTask(temporaryTask, {
+  trackProgress: true
+});
+console.log(report);
+// {
+//   taskName: 'TempTask',
+//   startTime: Date,
+//   endTime: Date,
+//   duration: 1523,
+//   steps: [...],
+//   stepsCompleted: ['step1', 'step2'],
+//   progress: 100,
+//   result: any,
+//   error?: Error
+// }
+```
+
+## 🎨 Web Component Dashboard
+
+Visualize your tasks in real-time with the included web component:
+
+```html
+<!DOCTYPE html>
+<html>
+<head>
+  <script type="module">
+    import { TaskManager } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+    import '@push.rocks/taskbuffer/dist_ts_web/taskbuffer-dashboard.js';
+    
+    const taskManager = new TaskManager();
+    
+    // Attach to dashboard
+    const dashboard = document.querySelector('taskbuffer-dashboard');
+    dashboard.taskManager = taskManager;
+    dashboard.refreshInterval = 500; // Update every 500ms
+  </script>
+</head>
+<body>
+  <taskbuffer-dashboard></taskbuffer-dashboard>
+</body>
+</html>
+```
+
+The dashboard provides:
+- 📊 Real-time progress bars with step indicators
+- 📈 Task execution history
+- ⏰ Scheduled task information
+- 🎯 Interactive task controls
+- 🌓 Light/dark theme support
+
+## 🧩 Advanced Patterns
+
+### Dynamic Task Routing
+
+Route tasks based on conditions:
+
+```typescript
+const routerTask = new Task({
+  name: 'Router',
+  taskFunction: async (request) => {
+    if (request.priority === 'high') {
+      return await expressProcessor.trigger(request);
+    } else if (request.size > 1000000) {
+      return await bulkProcessor.trigger(request);
+    } else {
+      return await standardProcessor.trigger(request);
+    }
+  }
+});
+```
+
+### Task Pools
+
+Create reusable task pools for load distribution:
+
+```typescript
+class TaskPool {
+  private tasks: Task[] = [];
+  private currentIndex = 0;
+  
+  constructor(poolSize: number, taskConfig: any) {
+    for (let i = 0; i < poolSize; i++) {
+      this.tasks.push(new Task({
+        ...taskConfig,
+        name: `${taskConfig.name}_${i}`
+      }));
+    }
+  }
+  
+  async execute(data: any) {
+    const task = this.tasks[this.currentIndex];
+    this.currentIndex = (this.currentIndex + 1) % this.tasks.length;
+    return await task.trigger(data);
+  }
+}
+
+const processorPool = new TaskPool(5, {
+  name: 'DataProcessor',
+  taskFunction: async (data) => processData(data)
+});
+```
+
+### Error Recovery & Retry
+
+Implement robust error handling:
+
+```typescript
+const resilientTask = new Task({
+  name: 'ResilientTask',
+  taskFunction: async (data, retryCount = 0) => {
+    try {
+      return await riskyOperation(data);
+    } catch (error) {
+      if (retryCount < 3) {
+        console.log(`Retry ${retryCount + 1}/3`);
+        await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 1000 * Math.pow(2, retryCount)));
+        return await resilientTask.trigger(data, retryCount + 1);
+      }
+      throw error;
+    }
+  }
+});
+```
+
+### Task Composition
+
+Compose complex behaviors from simple tasks:
+
+```typescript
+const compositeTask = new Task({
+  name: 'CompositeOperation',
+  steps: [
+    { name: 'validate', description: 'Validating input', percentage: 20 },
+    { name: 'process', description: 'Processing data', percentage: 60 },
+    { name: 'notify', description: 'Sending notifications', percentage: 20 }
+  ] as const,
+  taskFunction: async function(data) {

+
+## 🔧 Configuration
+
+### Task Options
+
+```typescript
+interface TaskOptions<T = undefined, TSteps = []> {
+  name?: string;              // Task identifier
+  taskFunction: Function;     // Async function to execute
+  buffered?: boolean;         // Enable buffering
+  bufferMax?: number;         // Max concurrent executions
+  execDelay?: number;         // Min delay between executions
+  timeout?: number;           // Task timeout in ms
+  version?: string;           // Task version
+  steps?: TSteps;            // Progress steps configuration
+  taskSetup?: Function;       // One-time setup function
+  beforeTask?: Function;      // Runs before each execution
+  afterTask?: Function;       // Runs after each execution
+}
+```
+
+### TaskManager Options
+
+```typescript
+const taskManager = new TaskManager({
+  maxConcurrentTasks: 10,    // Global concurrency limit
+  defaultTimeout: 30000,      // Default task timeout
+  logLevel: 'info'          // Logging verbosity
+});
+```
+
+## 📊 Monitoring & Observability
+
+### Task Events
+
+```typescript
+task.on('started', () => console.log('Task started'));
+task.on('completed', (result) => console.log('Task completed:', result));
+task.on('failed', (error) => console.error('Task failed:', error));
+task.on('stepChange', (step) => console.log('Step:', step.name));
+```
+
+### Execution Metrics
+
+```typescript
+const metrics = task.getMetrics();
+console.log({
+  totalRuns: metrics.runCount,
+  averageDuration: metrics.avgDuration,
+  successRate: metrics.successRate,
+  lastError: metrics.lastError
+});
+```
+
+## 🧪 Testing
+
+```typescript
+import { expect, tap } from '@git.zone/tstest';
+import { Task } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+
+tap.test('Task should execute with progress tracking', async () => {
+  const task = new Task({
+    name: 'TestTask',
+    steps: [
+      { name: 'step1', description: 'Step 1', percentage: 50 },
+      { name: 'step2', description: 'Step 2', percentage: 50 }
+    ] as const,
+    taskFunction: async function() {
+      this.notifyStep('step1');
+      await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 100));
+      this.notifyStep('step2');
+      return 'done';
+    }
+  });
+  
+  const result = await task.trigger();
+  expect(result).toEqual('done');
+  expect(task.getProgress()).toEqual(100);
+});
+```
+
+## 🌐 Real-World Examples
+
+### API Rate Limiter
+
+```typescript
+const apiLimiter = new Task({
+  name: 'APIRateLimiter',
+  buffered: true,
+  bufferMax: 10,  // Max 10 requests per second
+  execDelay: 100, // 100ms between requests
+  taskFunction: async (endpoint, data) => {
+    return await fetch(endpoint, {
+      method: 'POST',
+      body: JSON.stringify(data)
+    });
+  }
+});
+```
+
+### Database Migration Pipeline
+
+```typescript
+const migrationChain = new Taskchain({
+  name: 'DatabaseMigration',
+  tasks: [
+    backupDatabaseTask,
+    validateSchemaTask,
+    runMigrationsTask,
+    verifyIntegrityTask,
+    updateIndexesTask
+  ]
+});
+
+// Execute with rollback on failure
+try {
+  await migrationChain.trigger();
+  console.log('Migration successful!');
+} catch (error) {
+  await rollbackTask.trigger();
+  throw error;
+}
+```
+
+### Distributed Job Queue
+
+```typescript
+const jobQueue = new TaskManager();
+
+// Worker tasks
+const imageProcessor = new Task({
+  name: 'ImageProcessor',
+  buffered: true,
+  bufferMax: 5,
+  steps: [
+    { name: 'download', description: 'Downloading', percentage: 20 },
+    { name: 'resize', description: 'Resizing', percentage: 40 },
+    { name: 'optimize', description: 'Optimizing', percentage: 30 },
+    { name: 'upload', description: 'Uploading', percentage: 10 }
+  ] as const,
+  taskFunction: async function(job) {
+    this.notifyStep('download');
+    const image = await downloadImage(job.url);
+    
+    this.notifyStep('resize');
+    const resized = await resizeImage(image, job.dimensions);
+    
+    this.notifyStep('optimize');
+    const optimized = await optimizeImage(resized);
+    
+    this.notifyStep('upload');
+    return await uploadToCDN(optimized);
+  }
+});
+
+jobQueue.addTask(imageProcessor);
+
+// Process incoming jobs
+messageQueue.on('job', async (job) => {
+  const result = await jobQueue.getTaskByName('ImageProcessor').trigger(job);
+  await messageQueue.ack(job.id, result);
+});
+```
+
+## 🚀 Performance Tips
+
+1. **Use Buffering Wisely** - Enable buffering for I/O-bound tasks
+2. **Set Appropriate Delays** - Use `execDelay` to prevent API rate limits
+3. **Leverage Task Pools** - Distribute load across multiple task instances
+4. **Monitor Progress** - Use step tracking for long-running operations
+5. **Clean Up** - Use `addExecuteRemoveTask` for one-time operations
+
+## 🔍 Debugging
+
+Enable detailed logging:
+
+```typescript
+import { logger } from '@push.rocks/smartlog';
+
+logger.enableConsole();
+logger.level = 'debug';
+
+// Tasks will now output detailed execution logs
+```
+
