# Treehouse Improvements Summary
This document summarizes all the improvements made to the treehouse-worktree project.
## Completed Improvements
### High Priority (Security & Critical Issues) ✅
1. **LICENSE File Added**
- Added proper MIT license file
- File: `LICENSE`
2. **ESLint Configuration**
- Installed ESLint with TypeScript support
- Created ESLint 9-compatible config
- All linting checks pass
- Files: `eslint.config.js`, updated `package.json`
3. **Input Validation with Zod**
- Added comprehensive validation for all user inputs
- Prevents path traversal attacks
- Validates worktree names, branch names, agent IDs, messages, and lock expiry times
- File: `src/utils/validation.ts`
- Applied in: `src/treehouse.ts`
4. **Fixed Command Injection Vulnerability**
- Replaced string interpolation with environment variables
- `ROOT_WORKTREE_PATH` now passed as env var instead of string replacement
- Updated documentation to reflect the change
- Files: `src/treehouse.ts`, `README.md`
5. **Windows Compatibility Fixed**
- Replaced Unix-only `du` command with cross-platform `get-folder-size` package
- Clean command now works on Windows, macOS, and Linux
- File: `src/treehouse.ts`
6. **Test Infrastructure Added**
- Vitest test framework installed and configured
- 38 passing tests for validation logic
- Test coverage reporting configured
- Files: `vitest.config.ts`, `src/__tests__/validation.test.ts`, updated `package.json`
### Medium Priority ✅
7. **Git Version Check**
- Added version detection and validation
- Ensures git 2.5+ is available (required for worktrees)
- Clear error messages for unsupported versions
- Files: `src/utils/git.ts`, `src/treehouse.ts`
8. **Magic Strings Replaced with Constants**
- Added constants for `BRANCH_CURRENT`, `DEFAULT_AGENT_ID`
- Added `ConflictStrategy` object for strategy types
- Improves maintainability and reduces errors
- File: `src/types.ts`
9. **CHANGELOG.md Added**
- Follows Keep a Changelog format
- Documents all changes in this update
- File: `CHANGELOG.md`
10. **GitHub Actions CI/CD**
- CI workflow tests on multiple OS (Ubuntu, macOS, Windows) and Node versions (18, 20, 22)
- Automated npm publishing on release
- Code coverage reporting
- Files: `.github/workflows/ci.yml`, `.github/workflows/publish.yml`
### Low Priority ✅
11. **CONTRIBUTING.md Added**
- Clear contribution guidelines
- Development setup instructions
- Code style guidelines
- File: `CONTRIBUTING.md`
12. **Troubleshooting Section in README**
- Common issues and solutions
- Platform-specific guidance
- Help resources
- File: `README.md`
13. **Improved .gitignore**
- Added coverage directories
- Added IDE and OS-specific files
- File: `.gitignore`
## Pending Improvements (Optional)
These weren't critical but could be addressed in future updates:
14. **Error Handling Consistency**
- Currently mix of thrown errors and result objects
- Could standardize to one approach
15. **Metadata Storage Location**
- Currently in `.git/treehouse-metadata.json`
- Could move to `.git/info/` for better compatibility
## Testing Summary
- ✅ All tests pass (38/38)
- ✅ Build successful
- ✅ Linting passes with no errors
- ✅ TypeScript compilation successful
