 # 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
-
-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
+### Basic Task Creation

 ```typescript
-import { Task } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+import { Task, TaskManager } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';

 // Create a simple task
-const myTask = new Task({
-  name: 'DataProcessor',
-  taskFunction: async () => {
-    const data = await fetchData();
-    return processData(data);
-  },
+const dataProcessor = new Task({
+  name: 'ProcessData',
+  taskFunction: async (data) => {
+    console.log(`Processing: ${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',
-  taskFunction: async (endpoint: string) => {
-    return await fetch(endpoint);
+  name: 'APIRequest',
+  taskFunction: async (endpoint) => {
+    return await fetch(endpoint).then(r => r.json());
  },
  buffered: true,
-  bufferMax: 3, // Maximum 3 concurrent executions
-  execDelay: 1000, // Wait 1 second between executions
+  bufferMax: 5,  // Maximum 5 concurrent executions
+  execDelay: 100 // Minimum 100ms between executions
 });

-// These will be automatically throttled
-for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
+// 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 where each step depends on the previous:
+Build complex workflows with automatic data flow:

 ```typescript
 import { Task, Taskchain } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
@@ -105,327 +125,345 @@ const fetchTask = new Task({
  taskFunction: async () => {
    const response = await fetch('/api/data');
    return response.json();
-  },
+  }
 });

 const transformTask = new Task({
  name: 'TransformData',
  taskFunction: async (data) => {
-    return data.map((item) => ({
+    return data.map(item => ({
      ...item,
-      processed: true,
-      timestamp: Date.now(),
+      transformed: true,
+      timestamp: Date.now()
    }));
-  },
+  }
 });

 const saveTask = new Task({
  name: 'SaveData',
  taskFunction: async (transformedData) => {
-    await database.bulkInsert(transformedData);
-    return { saved: transformedData.length };
-  },
-});
-

-  taskArray: [fetchTask, transformTask, saveTask],
-});
-
-// Execute the entire chain
-const result = await workflow.trigger();
-console.log(`Processed ${result.saved} items`);
-```
-
-### Parallel Execution - Maximum Performance
-
-Execute multiple independent tasks simultaneously:
-
-```typescript
-import { Task, Taskparallel } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
-
-const tasks = ['user', 'posts', 'comments'].map(
-  (resource) =>
-    new Task({
-      name: `Fetch${resource}`,
-      taskFunction: async () => {
-        const data = await fetch(`/api/${resource}`);
-        return data.json();
-      },
-    }),
-);
-
-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
-
-Prevent task spam with intelligent debouncing:
-
-```typescript
-import { TaskDebounced } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
-
-const saveTask = new TaskDebounced({
-  name: 'AutoSave',
-  taskFunction: async (content: string) => {
-    await saveToDatabase(content);
-    console.log('Content saved');
-  },
-  debounceTimeInMillis: 2000, // Wait 2 seconds of inactivity
-});
-
-// 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');
+    await database.save(transformedData);
+    return transformedData.length;
  }
-    return data;
-  },
 });

-const mainTask = new Task({
-  name: 'ProcessData',
-  taskFunction: async (data) => {
-    return await complexProcessing(data);
-  },
-  preTask: validationTask, // Runs before main task
-  afterTask: cleanupTask, // Runs after main task
+// Create and execute chain
+const dataChain = new Taskchain({
+  name: 'DataPipeline',
+  tasks: [fetchTask, transformTask, saveTask]
 });
+
+const savedCount = await dataChain.trigger();
+console.log(`Saved ${savedCount} items`);
 ```

-### Task Runners - Distributed Execution
+### Parallel Execution - Concurrent Processing

-The TaskRunner system enables distributed task execution across multiple workers:
+Execute multiple tasks simultaneously:

 ```typescript
-import { TaskRunner } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+import { TaskParallel } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';

-const runner = new TaskRunner({
-  name: 'WorkerNode1',
-  maxConcurrentTasks: 5,
+const parallel = new TaskParallel({
+  name: 'ParallelProcessor',
+  tasks: [
+    emailTask,
+    smsTask,
+    pushNotificationTask,
+    webhookTask
+  ]
 });

-// Register tasks this runner can handle
-runner.registerTask(dataProcessingTask);
-runner.registerTask(imageResizeTask);
-
-// Start processing
-runner.start();
+// All tasks execute concurrently
+const results = await parallel.trigger(notificationData);
+// results = [emailResult, smsResult, pushResult, webhookResult]
 ```

-### Buffer Management Strategies
+### TaskManager - Centralized Orchestration

-Fine-tune concurrent execution behavior:
+Manage all your tasks from a single point:

 ```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
+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
+// }
 ```

-### Cycle Detection and Prevention
+## 🎨 Web Component Dashboard

-TaskBuffer automatically detects and prevents circular dependencies:
+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 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!
+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);
+    }
+  }
 });
 ```

-### Dynamic Task Creation
+### Task Pools

-Create tasks on-the-fly based on runtime conditions:
+Create reusable task pools for load distribution:

 ```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);
-        },
-      }),
-  );
+class TaskPool {
+  private tasks: Task[] = [];
+  private currentIndex = 0;
  
-  const chain = new Taskchain({
-    name: 'DynamicWorkflow',
-    taskArray: tasks,
-  });
+  constructor(poolSize: number, taskConfig: any) {
+    for (let i = 0; i < poolSize; i++) {
+      this.tasks.push(new Task({
+        ...taskConfig,
+        name: `${taskConfig.name}_${i}`
+      }));
+    }
+  }
  
-  return await chain.trigger();
-};
+  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)
+});
 ```

-## API Reference 📚
+### 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) {

-## 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 🛡️
+### TaskManager Options

 ```typescript
-const robustTask = new Task({
-  name: 'RobustOperation',

-      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
+const taskManager = new TaskManager({
+  maxConcurrentTasks: 10,    // Global concurrency limit
+  defaultTimeout: 30000,      // Default task timeout
+  logLevel: 'info'          // Logging verbosity

-## Testing 🧪
+## 🚀 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 { expect, tap } from '@git.zone/tstest';
-import { Task } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+import { logger } from '@push.rocks/smartlog';

-tap.test('should execute task successfully', async () => {
-  const result = await myTask.trigger();
-  expect(result).toEqual(expectedValue);
-});
+logger.enableConsole();
+logger.level = 'debug';

-tap.start();
+// Tasks will now output detailed execution logs
 ```
