# TUI TypeScript Error Elimination Plan **Objective**: Systematically eliminate all TypeScript errors in the TUI implementation while maintaining a fully functional `npm run tui` at each step, achieving zero errors for `npm run build`. ## 🚨 **Safety Framework** ### **Backup Strategy** ```bash # Create backup branch before starting git checkout -b backup/pre-typescript-fixes git add -A git commit -m "Backup before TypeScript error elimination" # Create implementation branch git checkout -b fixing-typescript-errors-after-TUI-completion ``` ### **Rollback Plan** ```bash # If major issues arise, return to backup git checkout backup/pre-typescript-fixes git checkout -b fixing-typescript-errors-after-TUI-completion-retry ``` ### **Validation Commands** ```bash # Run after each task completion npm run tui # Must run without breaking functionality npm run build # Track error count reduction git status # Verify clean working state ``` ## 🎯 **Implementation Tasks** ### **Task 1: Fix Module Resolution Errors (257 errors)** **[BEFORE STARTING: Break down this task into smaller assignments focusing on HOW to implement, not just WHAT to do.
