Successfully merged latest changes from main while preserving all bug fixes:
Preserved Bug Fixes:
- window.spark null checks in AIChat.tsx (line 36-38)
- window.spark null checks in Toolbar.tsx (line 28)
- window guard in CodeEditor.tsx minimap (line 49)
- Ref type fix in ConsolePanel.tsx
- Checkbox type fixes in NewProjectModal.tsx
- Window guards in use-mobile.ts, sidebar.tsx
- Silent error handling in tailwind.config.js
New Features from Main:
- Enhanced AI prompt with code completion support
- Code syntax highlighting in AI responses
- Improved editor styling and scrollbar customization
- New education, analytics, and collaboration panels
- PostHog and Sentry integration
- Passport authentication
- Asset library and certification features
All merge conflicts resolved with both security fixes and new features intact.
This commit addresses 21+ bugs identified in the codebase scan:
High Severity Fixes:
- Add window.spark null checks in Toolbar.tsx and AIChat.tsx to prevent crashes
- Fix ref type mismatch in ConsolePanel.tsx by using scrollIntoView pattern
- Fix checkbox type casting in NewProjectModal.tsx (handle 'indeterminate' state)
Medium Severity Fixes:
- Add window guards for SSR safety in use-mobile.ts hook
- Add window guards in CodeEditor.tsx for minimap configuration
- Add window guards in sidebar.tsx for keyboard event listeners
- Remove console.error from AIChat.tsx (already has toast notifications)
- Replace console.error with silent fallback in tailwind.config.js
These improvements enhance:
1. Runtime safety - no more crashes from undefined window.spark
2. Type safety - proper handling of Radix UI checkbox states
3. SSR compatibility - all window accesses are now guarded
4. User experience - better error handling with toast notifications
All changes maintain backward compatibility and existing functionality.
Added default cases to getStatusColor() and getStatusIcon() functions
to prevent undefined returns. The functions now return sensible
fallback values ('text-gray-500' and '?' respectively) if an
unexpected status value is encountered.
This improves code robustness and prevents potential runtime errors.
