 # 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.

 - 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).

-## Why taskbuffer? 🤔
+## 🚀 Quick Start
-In the modern JavaScript ecosystem, managing asynchronous tasks efficiently is crucial. Whether you're building a data pipeline, managing API rate limits, or orchestrating complex workflows, **@push.rocks/taskbuffer** provides the tools you need:
+### Basic Task Creation
 - **🎯 TypeScript-first**: Built with TypeScript for TypeScript - enjoy complete type safety and excellent IDE support
 - **⚡ Flexible execution**: From simple tasks to complex parallel workflows with dependencies
 - **🔄 Smart buffering**: Control concurrent executions with intelligent buffer management
 - **⏰ Built-in scheduling**: Cron-based task scheduling without additional dependencies
 - **🎭 Multiple paradigms**: Support for debounced, throttled, and one-time execution patterns
 - **🔌 Extensible**: Clean architecture that's easy to extend and customize
 - **🏃 Zero dependencies on external schedulers**: Everything you need is included
 ## Core Concepts 🎓
 ### Task
 The fundamental unit of work. A task wraps an asynchronous function and provides powerful execution control.
 ### Taskchain
 Sequential task execution - tasks run one after another, with results passed along the chain.
 ### Taskparallel
 Parallel task execution - multiple tasks run simultaneously for maximum performance.
 ### TaskManager
 Centralized task scheduling and management using cron expressions.
 ### TaskDebounced
 Debounced task execution - prevents rapid repeated executions, only running after a quiet period.
 ### TaskOnce
 Singleton task execution - ensures a task runs exactly once, perfect for initialization routines.
 ## Quick Start 🏁
 ### Basic Task Execution
 ```typescript
-import { Task } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+import { Task, TaskManager } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
 // Create a simple task
-const myTask = new Task({
+const dataProcessor = new Task({
-  name: 'DataProcessor',
+  name: 'ProcessData',
-  taskFunction: async () => {
+  taskFunction: async (data) => {
-    const data = await fetchData();
+    console.log(`Processing: ${data}`);
-    return processData(data);
+    // Your async logic here
    return `Processed: ${data}`;
  }
 });
 // Execute the task
-const result = await myTask.trigger();
+const result = await dataProcessor.trigger('my-data');
 console.log(result); // "Processed: my-data"
 ```
-### Buffered Execution (Rate Limiting)
+### Tasks with Progress Tracking 📊
-Perfect for API calls or database operations that need throttling:
+```typescript
 const deploymentTask = new Task({
  name: 'DeployApplication',
  steps: [
    { name: 'build', description: 'Building application', percentage: 30 },
    { name: 'test', description: 'Running tests', percentage: 20 },
    { name: 'deploy', description: 'Deploying to server', percentage: 40 },
    { name: 'verify', description: 'Verifying deployment', percentage: 10 }
  ] as const, // Use 'as const' for type inference
  taskFunction: async function() {
    // TypeScript knows these step names!
    this.notifyStep('build');
    await buildApplication();
    this.notifyStep('test');
    await runTests();
    this.notifyStep('deploy');
    await deployToServer();
    this.notifyStep('verify');
    await verifyDeployment();
    return 'Deployment successful!';
  }
 });
 // Monitor progress
 console.log(deploymentTask.getProgress()); // 0-100
 console.log(deploymentTask.getStepsMetadata()); // Detailed step info
 ```
 ## 🎯 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: 'APICall',
+  name: 'APIRequest',
-  taskFunction: async (endpoint: string) => {
+  taskFunction: async (endpoint) => {
-    return await fetch(endpoint);
+    return await fetch(endpoint).then(r => r.json());
  },
  buffered: true,
-  bufferMax: 3, // Maximum 3 concurrent executions
+  bufferMax: 5,  // Maximum 5 concurrent executions
-  execDelay: 1000 // Wait 1 second between executions
+  execDelay: 100 // Minimum 100ms between executions
 });
-// These will be automatically throttled
+// Rapid fire 100 calls - only 5 will execute concurrently
-for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
+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 where each step depends on the previous:

  ]
 });
 // 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

 // Get task metadata

 //   buffered: false,
 //   bufferMax: undefined,
 //   version: '1.0.0',
 //   timeout: 30000
 // }

 ## 🧩 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);
    }
  })
 );
 const parallelFetch = new Taskparallel({
  taskArray: tasks
 });
 // All tasks execute simultaneously
 const [users, posts, comments] = await parallelFetch.trigger();
 ```
 ### Scheduled Tasks with TaskManager
 Run tasks on a schedule using cron expressions:
 ```typescript
 import { Task, TaskManager } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
 const backupTask = new Task({
  name: 'DatabaseBackup',
  taskFunction: async () => {
    await performBackup();
    console.log(`Backup completed at ${new Date().toISOString()}`);
  }
 });
 const manager = new TaskManager();
 // Add and schedule tasks
 manager.addAndScheduleTask(backupTask, '0 0 * * *'); // Daily at midnight
 manager.addAndScheduleTask(healthCheck, '*/5 * * * *'); // Every 5 minutes
 // Start the scheduler
 manager.start();
 // Later... stop if needed
 manager.stop();
 ```
-### Debounced Tasks - Smart Throttling
+### Task Pools
-Prevent task spam with intelligent debouncing:
+Create reusable task pools for load distribution:
 ```typescript
-import { TaskDebounced } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+class TaskPool {
-
+  private tasks: Task[] = [];
-const saveTask = new TaskDebounced({
+  private currentIndex = 0;
-  name: 'AutoSave',
+  
-  taskFunction: async (content: string) => {
+  constructor(poolSize: number, taskConfig: any) {
-    await saveToDatabase(content);
+    for (let i = 0; i < poolSize; i++) {
-    console.log('Content saved');
+      this.tasks.push(new Task({
-  },
+        ...taskConfig,
-  debounceTimeInMillis: 2000 // Wait 2 seconds of inactivity
+        name: `${taskConfig.name}_${i}`
-});
+      }));
 // Rapid calls will be debounced
 input.addEventListener('input', (e) => {
  saveTask.trigger(e.target.value);
 });
 ```
 ### One-Time Tasks - Initialize Once
 Ensure initialization code runs exactly once:
 ```typescript
 import { TaskOnce } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
 const initTask = new TaskOnce({
  name: 'SystemInitialization',
  taskFunction: async () => {
    await database.connect();
    await cache.initialize();
    await loadConfiguration();
    console.log('System initialized');
  }
 });
 // Safe to call multiple times - only runs once
 await initTask.trigger();
 await initTask.trigger(); // This won't run again
 ```
 ## Advanced Features 🔥
 ### Task Dependencies with Pre/Post Hooks
 Create sophisticated task relationships:
 ```typescript
 const validationTask = new Task({
  name: 'ValidateInput',
  taskFunction: async (data) => {
    if (!isValid(data)) {
      throw new Error('Validation failed');
    }
    return data;
  }
-});
+  
  async execute(data: any) {
    const task = this.tasks[this.currentIndex];
    this.currentIndex = (this.currentIndex + 1) % this.tasks.length;
    return await task.trigger(data);
  }
 }
-const mainTask = new Task({
+const processorPool = new TaskPool(5, {
-  name: 'ProcessData',
+  name: 'DataProcessor',
-  taskFunction: async (data) => {
+  taskFunction: async (data) => processData(data)
    return await complexProcessing(data);
  },
  preTask: validationTask,  // Runs before main task
  afterTask: cleanupTask     // Runs after main task
 });
 ```
-### Task Runners - Distributed Execution
+### Error Recovery & Retry
-The TaskRunner system enables distributed task execution across multiple workers:
+Implement robust error handling:
 ```typescript
-import { TaskRunner } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+const resilientTask = new Task({
-
+  name: 'ResilientTask',
-const runner = new TaskRunner({
+  taskFunction: async (data, retryCount = 0) => {
-  name: 'WorkerNode1',
+    try {
-  maxConcurrentTasks: 5
+      return await riskyOperation(data);
-});
+    } catch (error) {
-
+      if (retryCount < 3) {
-// Register tasks this runner can handle
+        console.log(`Retry ${retryCount + 1}/3`);
-runner.registerTask(dataProcessingTask);
+        await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 1000 * Math.pow(2, retryCount)));
-runner.registerTask(imageResizeTask);
+        return await resilientTask.trigger(data, retryCount + 1);
 // Start processing
 runner.start();
 ```
 ### Buffer Management Strategies
 Fine-tune concurrent execution behavior:
 ```typescript
 const task = new Task({
  name: 'ResourceIntensive',
  taskFunction: async () => { /* ... */ },
  buffered: true,
  bufferMax: 5,        // Max 5 concurrent
  execDelay: 100,      // 100ms between starts
  timeout: 30000       // 30 second timeout
 });
 ```
 ### Cycle Detection and Prevention
 TaskBuffer automatically detects and prevents circular dependencies:
 ```typescript
 const taskA = new Task({
  name: 'TaskA',
  taskFunction: async () => { /* ... */ },
  preTask: taskB  // This would create a cycle
 });
 const taskB = new Task({
  name: 'TaskB',
  taskFunction: async () => { /* ... */ },
  preTask: taskA  // Circular dependency detected!
 });
 ```
 ### Dynamic Task Creation
 Create tasks on-the-fly based on runtime conditions:
 ```typescript
 const dynamicWorkflow = async (config: Config) => {
  const tasks = config.steps.map(step => 
    new Task({
      name: step.name,
      taskFunction: async (input) => {
        return await processStep(step, input);
      }
-    })
+      throw error;
-  );
+    }
-  
+  }
-  const chain = new Taskchain({
+});
    name: 'DynamicWorkflow',
    taskArray: tasks
  });
  return await chain.trigger();
 };
 ```
-## API Reference 📚
+### 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) {
    this.notifyStep('validate');
    const validated = await validationTask.trigger(data);
    this.notifyStep('process');
    const processed = await processingTask.trigger(validated);
    this.notifyStep('notify');
    await notificationTask.trigger(processed);
    return processed;
  }
 });
 ```

 ## Performance Tips 🏎️
 1. **Use buffering for I/O operations**: Prevents overwhelming external services
 2. **Leverage parallel execution**: When tasks are independent, run them simultaneously
 3. **Implement proper error handling**: Use try-catch in task functions
 4. **Monitor task execution**: Use the built-in stats and logging
 5. **Set appropriate timeouts**: Prevent hanging tasks from blocking your system
 ## Error Handling 🛡️
 ```typescript
-const robustTask = new Task({
+const taskManager = new TaskManager({
-  name: 'RobustOperation',
+  maxConcurrentTasks: 10,    // Global concurrency limit
-  taskFunction: async (input) => {
+  defaultTimeout: 30000,      // Default task timeout
-    try {
+  logLevel: 'info'          // Logging verbosity
      return await riskyOperation(input);
    } catch (error) {
      // Log error
      console.error(`Task failed: ${error.message}`);
      // Optionally retry
      if (error.retryable) {
        return await riskyOperation(input);
      }
      // Or return default value
      return defaultValue;
    }
  },
  timeout: 5000 // Fail if takes longer than 5 seconds
 });
 ```
