    virtualization: { 
      enabled: true,
      recycleNodes: true,
      progressive: true
    }
  }
}

// Developer Tooling API Configuration

    },
    errors: {
      boundaries: { detailed: true, componentSource: true }
    }
  }
}

// Security & Accessibility API Configuration

Visual Documentation Recommendations

The following visual diagrams should be created to enhance understanding of the platform:

1. Architecture Overview Diagram

   • Illustrate how rendering pipeline, workers, and feature modules interact
   • Show data flows between main thread and worker threads
   • Highlight configuration dependencies between components

2. Worker Communication Flow Diagram

   • Visualize message passing between main thread and worker pool
   • Demonstrate how SharedArrayBuffer enables zero-copy transfers
   • Show task scheduling and priority handling mechanisms

3. Rendering Pipeline Visualization

   • Illustrate the complete flow from component updates to pixels on screen
   • Show virtual DOM diffing and incremental hydration processes
   • Demonstrate virtualization mechanism for large lists

4. Feature Dependency Graph

   • Map relationships between interdependent features
   • Show fallback paths when features aren't available
   • Illustrate progressive enhancement strategies

Proposed API Extensions

Configuration Preset System

Add support for predefined configuration presets for common use cases:

interface WebPlatformConfig {
  // ... existing configuration
  
  // Use a preset as the base configuration
  preset?: 'minimal' | 'balanced' | 'performance' | 'mobile' | 'desktop' | 'low-end' | 'high-end' | 'enterprise';
  
  // Override specific preset values
  overrides?: Partial<WebPlatformConfig>;
}

Example usage:

import { defineConfig, presets } from '@lynx-js/web-platform';

export default defineConfig({
  // Start with the "mobile" preset
  preset: 'mobile',
  
  // Override specific settings
  overrides: {
    rendering: {
      gpuAcceleration: {
        enabled: false, // Disable GPU acceleration
      }
    }
  },
  
  // Add app-specific configuration
  app: {
    theme: 'dark',
    analytics: true,
  }
});

Available presets would include:

1. minimal: Essential features for simple applications
2. balanced: Good balance of features and performance
3. performance: Maximum performance for demanding applications
4. mobile: Optimized for mobile devices
5. desktop: Leverages desktop capabilities
6. low-end: Optimized for low-resource devices
7. high-end: Utilizes advanced features for high-end devices
8. enterprise: Enhanced security, stability, and analytics

Auto-optimization API

Add capability detection to automatically optimize configuration:

interface WebPlatformConfig {
  // ... existing configuration
  
  autoOptimize?: {
    enabled: boolean;
    
    target?: {
      fps: number;             // Target frame rate
      memoryLimit?: number;    // Memory limit in MB
      loadTime?: number;       // Target initial load time in ms
      forceProfile?: 'low' | 'medium' | 'high';
    };
    
    optimize?: {
      workers: boolean;        // Adjust worker count based on CPU cores
      virtualization: boolean; // Adjust virtualization based on memory
      graphics: boolean;       // Choose appropriate graphics API
      features: boolean;       // Enable/disable features based on capability
    };
    
    confidence?: {
      required: number;        // Threshold for required features (0-1)
      optional: number;        // Threshold for optional features (0-1)
    };
  }
}

Example usage:

import { defineConfig } from '@lynx-js/web-platform';

export default defineConfig({
  autoOptimize: {
    enabled: true,
    target: {
      fps: 60,
      memoryLimit: 300,  // 300MB max memory usage
    },
    optimize: {
      workers: true,
      virtualization: true,
      graphics: true,
      features: true,
    }
  }
});

The system would detect:

1. Hardware Capabilities: Memory, CPU cores, GPU capabilities, network speed
2. Browser Features: API support, modern feature availability
3. Runtime Performance: Observed frame rate, GC patterns, interaction delays

Advanced Memory Management

Add finer control for memory-constrained environments:

interface WebPlatformConfig {
  // ... existing configuration
  
  memory: {
    limits: {
      total?: number;          // Maximum total memory (MB)
      workers?: number;        // Maximum worker memory (MB)
      cache?: number;          // Maximum cache memory (MB)
      dom?: number;            // Maximum DOM memory (MB)
      onExceeded: 'warn' | 'reduce' | 'clear-cache' | 'terminate-workers';
    };
    
    pressureHandling: {
      enabled: boolean;
      levels: {
        low: {
          threshold: number;   // As percentage of limit (e.g., 70%)
          actions: ('clear-cache' | 'release-resources' | 'reduce-workers')[];
        };
        critical: {
          threshold: number;   // As percentage of limit (e.g., 90%)
          actions: ('clear-all-cache' | 'terminate-workers' | 'simplify-dom')[];
        };
      };
    };
    
    releaseStrategies: {
      timeout: number;         // ms before releasing
      cacheEviction: 'lru' | 'lfu' | 'fifo' | 'custom';
      customEviction?: string; // Reference to custom function
    };
  }
}

Testing Framework

Cross-Browser Testing Configuration

interface TestingConfig {
  browsers: {
    targets: {
      chrome: string[];        // Chrome versions: ['latest', 'latest-1']
      firefox: string[];
      safari: string[];
      edge: string[];
      ios_safari: string[];
      android_chrome: string[];
    };
    
    matrix: {
      minimum: boolean;        // Test minimum supported versions
      popular: boolean;        // Test versions with >1% market share
      service: 'browserstack' | 'saucelabs' | 'lambdatest';
    };
    
    featureTests: {
      features: string[];      // ['webcomponents', 'webworkers', 'webgl']
      failureHandling: 'error' | 'warn' | 'fallback';
      recordUsage: boolean;    // Track feature usage analytics
    };
  };
}

Testing should include:

1. Automated Cross-Browser Tests: Basic rendering, feature detection, worker communication
2. Visual Regression Testing: Component rendering, animations, responsive behavior
3. Feature Detection Testing: Fallback mechanisms, polyfill loading, progressive enhancement

Performance Regression Testing

interface PerformanceTestingConfig {
  scenarios: {
    'load-time': boolean;
    'tti': boolean;           // Time to Interactive
    'long-list': boolean;
    'animation': boolean;
    'worker-communication': boolean;
    
    custom: {
      name: string;
      script: string;          // Path to test script
      metrics: string[];       // Metrics to collect
    }[];
  };
  
  budgets: {
    'first-contentful-paint': number;  // ms
    'largest-contentful-paint': number;
    'time-to-interactive': number;
    'total-blocking-time': number;
    'js-bundle-size': number;  // KB
    'total-transfer-size': number;
    custom: Record<string, number>;
  };
  
  regression: {
    baseline: 'previous-release' | 'main-branch' | 'tagged-release';
    thresholds: {
      error: number;           // % change to trigger error (e.g., 20%)
      warning: number;         // % change to trigger warning
    };
    validation: {
      runsPerTest: number;     // Number of times to run each test
      retryOnRegression: boolean;
      ignoreOutliers: boolean;
    };
  };
}

Test metrics should include:

1. Core Web Vitals: FCP, LCP, TTI, CLS, FID
2. Platform-Specific Metrics: Worker initialization time, Virtual DOM update time
3. Application Metrics: Time to first meaningful render, interaction response time

Accessibility Testing Framework

interface AccessibilityTestingConfig {
  automated: {
    wcag: {
      level: 'A' | 'AA' | 'AAA';
      includeExperimental: boolean;
    };
    tools: ('axe' | 'lighthouse' | 'pa11y')[];
    coverage: {
      components: boolean;     // Test individual components
      pages: boolean;          // Test assembled pages
      interactions: boolean;   // Test interactive states
    };
  };
  
  manual: {
    screenReader: {
      environments: ('nvda' | 'jaws' | 'voiceover' | 'talkback')[];
      scripts: string[];       // Paths to test scripts
    };
    keyboard: {
      focusOrder: boolean;
      trapFocus: boolean;
      shortcuts: boolean;
    };
    contrast: boolean;
    motionSensitivity: boolean;
    colorBlindness: boolean;
  };
  
  ci: {
    blockOnFailures: boolean;
    requiredPassRate: number;  // Percentage (e.g., 95%)
    reporting: {
      format: ('html' | 'json' | 'markdown')[];
      includeScreenshots: boolean;
    };
  };
}

Testing should focus on:

1. Automated Testing: WCAG compliance, contrast verification, keyboard navigation
2. Manual Testing Scripts: Screen reader workflows, keyboard-only user journeys
3. Component Testing: Form controls, modals/dialogs, navigation components
