-# 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

+## 2025-12-04 - 3.5.0 - feat(core)
+Add debounced tasks and step-based progress tracking; upgrade deps and improve dashboard and scheduling
+
+- Add TaskDebounced class to coalesce rapid triggers into a single execution (debounce behavior).
+- Introduce step tracking and progress reporting on Task via TaskStep, getProgress(), getStepsMetadata(), getMetadata(), resetSteps(), and completeAllSteps().
+- Enhance buffered execution flow: BufferRunner and CycleCounter improvements to better coordinate buffered runs and cycle promises.
+- Standardize concurrent runner naming (Taskparallel) and update related exports/usages (ts/index.ts, readme examples).
+- Enhance TaskManager scheduling/metadata: getScheduledTasks now returns schedule and nextRun, addExecuteRemoveTask collects execution report metadata and cleans up after execution, distributed coordination hooks retained.
+- Add/upgrade web dashboard UI, demos and refresh logic to surface task metadata, scheduled tasks and progress.
+- Bump runtime and dev dependencies (multiple @push.rocks packages and @git.zone tooling).
+- Update tests: reduce iteration threshold and tighten schedule interval in test/test.4.taskmanager.ts.
+- Remove several .serena memory files (project overview, style guides and suggested commands) as cleanup.
+
+## 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
