+# TS-RES Browser Tool - Comprehensive Project Plan
+
+## Overview
+A visual tool for loading, browsing, and experimenting with ts-res resources. Built as a React web application for optimal performance and modern browser capabilities.
+
+## Architecture Decision: React Web App vs Electron
+
+**Decision: React Web App**
+
+Based on 2024 best practices research:
+- **Performance**: Web apps are significantly faster than Electron apps
+- **Security**: Fewer attack vectors than Electron's native access
+- **Development**: Simpler tooling and deployment
+- **User Experience**: Modern browsers provide excellent file system access
+- **Maintenance**: No native OS compatibility issues
+
+**Technology Stack**:
+- **Framework**: React 18+ with TypeScript
+- **Build Tool**: Webpack 
+- **File Access**: File System Access API with fallback to file input
+- **Styling**: Tailwind CSS for utility-first styling
+- **Icons**: Heroicons for consistent iconography
+- **State Management**: React Context + useReducer for complex state
+
+## Rush Monorepo Requirements
+
+**Package Management**:
+- **Never** use `npm install` or edit `package.json` directly
+- Use `rush add -p <package>` for runtime dependencies (note: `-p` flag required)
+- Use `rush add --dev -p <package>` for dev dependencies
+- Use `rush add --peer -p <package>` for peer dependencies
+- Can install multiple packages at once: `rush add -p package1 package2 package3`
+- Rush automatically uses consistent versions across monorepo or 'latest' for new packages
+- **Work in a branch and ask for help when dealing with dependency conflicts**
+
+**Git Workflow**:
+- **NEVER commit changes without user review** - staging files is fine
+- Always confirm commit message and timing with user before executing `git commit`
+- Work in feature branches and get approval before merging
+
+**Runtime Requirements**:
+- **Node Version**: v20 (monorepo standard)
+- **Monorepo Consistency**: Follow existing patterns and style
+
+**Required Dependencies**:
+- `@fgv/ts-utils`: Result pattern, collections, validation, conversion
+- `@fgv/ts-json-base`: Basic JSON handling
+- `@fgv/ts-json`: Intensive JSON work (templating, merging, transformation)
+- `@fgv/ts-utils-jest`: Testing with result-specific jest matchers
+- `@fgv/ts-bcp47`: Structured language tags (if needed)
+- `@fgv/ts-res`: Core resource management (runtime dependency)
+
+**Development Patterns**:
+- **Result Pattern**: Use `Result<T>` for all operations that can fail
+- **Error Handling**: Prefer `.onSuccess()`, `.onFailure()`, `.orThrow()` patterns
+- **Validation**: Use converters and validators from ts-utils
+- **Testing**: Use result-specific matchers like `.toSucceedWith()`, `.toFailWith()`

+
+## Technical Specifications
+
+### Configuration Tool Architecture
+
+The Configuration Tool provides a comprehensive interface for managing the ts-res system configuration:
+
+**Qualifier Types Configuration**:
+- **Built-in Base Types**: Three fundamental types that cannot be created/deleted:
+  - `LanguageQualifierType`: Handles language-related qualifiers (e.g., "en-US", "fr-CA")
+  - `TerritoryQualifierType`: Handles territory/region qualifiers (e.g., "US", "CA", "GB")
+  - `LiteralQualifierType`: Complex type for literal string matching with various options
+- **Configuration Options**: Each type has configurable properties:
+  - `allowContextList`: Controls if qualifier can accept list contexts (e.g., 0=false, 1=true, 2=multiple)
+  - `defaultPriority`: Sets default priority for conditions using this type
+  - Type-specific options (e.g., validation patterns for literals)
+- **New Types**: Can be created by configuring one of the three base types with different settings
+
+**Qualifiers Configuration**:
+- **Full CRUD Operations**: Create, read, update, delete qualifiers freely
+- **Type Association**: Each qualifier must be linked to a qualifier type
+- **Properties**: Configure name, type, default priority, validation rules
+- **Usage Tracking**: Show where qualifiers are used in resources
+
+**Resource Types Display**:
+- **Read-Only**: Built-in resource types cannot be edited (future enhancement)
+- **Properties**: Show name, validation rules, supported operations
+- **Usage Statistics**: Display how many resources use each type
+
+**Integration Requirements**:
+- **Dynamic Context Loading**: Resolution Viewer must reflect actual configured qualifiers
+- **Validation**: Ensure configuration changes don't break existing resources
+- **Real-time Updates**: Changes should be immediately reflected in other tools
+
+### Filter Tool Architecture & Implementation
+
+**Overview**: The Filter Tool provides context-based filtering of resources, sitting between the Source Browser and Compiled Browser in the workflow. It enables users to create filtered subsets of resources based on partial context matching, allowing for focused analysis and testing of specific resource scenarios.
+
+**Position in Workflow**: `Source → Filter → Compiled → Resolution`
+
+**Core Features**:
+
+1. **Qualifier Selection Panel** (Top Section)
+   - Horizontal layout similar to Resolution Viewer's context panel
+   - All qualifier inputs initialize to `undefined` (empty state)
+   - Same responsive grid layout: 1 column (mobile) → 2 columns (medium) → 3 columns (large)
+   - Clear visual indication when qualifiers have values vs empty state
+
+2. **Resource Browser & Details** (Bottom Section)  
+   - Identical layout to Source Browser: left browser panel + right details panel
+   - Shows either original resources (when filtering disabled) or filtered resources
+   - Validation indicators for resources with 0 candidates after filtering
+
+3. **Filter Controls** (Top-level toggles and future controls)
+   - **"Enable Filtering" Toggle**: Master control that disables all other filter controls
+   - Reserved space for future filter controls (e.g., candidate count thresholds, validation levels)
+   - When disabled: tool shows original unfiltered resources, compiled/resolution views use original data
+
+**Technical Implementation**:
+
+**1. Resource Filtering Logic**:
+```typescript
+// Core filtering method using ResourceManager.getResourcesForContext()
+const filterResources = (
+  resourceManager: ResourceManagerBuilder,
+  partialContext: Record<string, string>,
+  options: { partialContextMatch: true }
+) => {
+  // Convert user input to validated context
+  const context = Context.Convert.validatedContextDecl.convert(
+    partialContext, 
+    { qualifiers }
+  ).orThrow();
+  
+  // Get filtered resources
+  const filteredResources = resourceManager.getResourcesForContext(context, options);
+  
+  // Convert back to declarations for new manager
+  const resourceDecls = filteredResources.map(resource => 
+    resource.build().orThrow().toLooseResourceDecl()
+  );
+  
+  return resourceDecls;
+};
+```
+
+**2. Filtered Resource Manager Creation**:
+```typescript
+// Create new ResourceManagerBuilder with same configuration
+const createFilteredManager = (
+  originalManager: ResourceManagerBuilder,
+  filteredDeclarations: ILooseResourceDecl[]
+) => {
+  const newManager = ResourceManagerBuilder.create({
+    qualifiers: originalManager.qualifiers,
+    resourceTypes: originalManager.resourceTypes,
+    qualifierTypes: originalManager.qualifierTypes
+  }).orThrow();
+  
+  // Add each filtered resource
+  for (const decl of filteredDeclarations) {
+    newManager.addResource(decl).orThrow();
+  }
+  
+  return newManager;
+};
+```
+
+**3. Integration with Compiled & Resolution Views**:
+- **State Management**: Filter tool updates global `ProcessedResources` state when filtering is active
+- **Conditional Data Source**: Compiled and Resolution tools check if filtering is enabled:
+  - **Enabled + has filter values**: Use filtered `ProcessedResources`
+  - **Disabled or no filter values**: Use original `ProcessedResources`  
+- **Real-time Updates**: Changes to filter context immediately update downstream views
+
+**4. Candidate-Level Filtering Breakthrough**:
+The major technical achievement was implementing candidate-level filtering rather than just resource-level filtering:
+
+```typescript
+// Enhanced filtering logic that filters candidates within resources
+const matchingCandidates = builtResource.candidates.filter((candidate) => {
+  return candidate.canMatchPartialContext(validatedContext, options);
+});
+
+const filteredDeclaration = {
+  ...originalDeclaration,
+  candidates: matchingCandidates.map((candidate) => candidate.toLooseResourceCandidateDecl())
+};
+```
+
+### Rush Integration
+```bash
+# Initialize new project
+rush init
+
+# Add dependencies (NOTE: -p flag required, can add multiple at once)
+rush add -p @fgv/ts-utils @fgv/ts-json-base @fgv/ts-json @fgv/ts-res
+rush add -p react react-dom
+rush add --dev -p @fgv/ts-utils-jest @types/react @types/react-dom
+rush add --dev -p webpack webpack-cli webpack-dev-server
+rush add --dev -p @babel/core @babel/preset-react @babel/preset-typescript
+rush add --dev -p babel-loader css-loader style-loader html-webpack-plugin
+rush add --dev -p tailwindcss postcss postcss-loader autoprefixer
+rush add -p @heroicons/react
+
+# Polyfills for browser compatibility
+rush add -p core-js whatwg-fetch
+
+# Build and test
+rushx build
+rushx test
+rushx dev
+```
+
+**⚠️ Build Tool Selection**:
+- **Webpack**: Mature, excellent CommonJS support, extensive ecosystem
+- **Rspack**: Rust-based webpack-compatible alternative, significantly faster
+- Both work well with CommonJS monorepos without requiring infrastructure upgrades
+
+### ⚠️ Dependency Management Warning
+- Rush automatically uses consistent versions across the monorepo or 'latest' for new packages
+- Dependency conflicts can be very tricky to resolve due to version synchronization
+- **Always work in a branch when adding/updating dependencies**
+- **Ask for help or confirmation at every step when dealing with dependency issues**
+
+### File System Access
+```typescript
+// Modern browsers support File System Access API
+// Fallback to traditional file input for older browsers
+interface FileImportOptions {
+  types: Array<{
+    description: string;
+    accept: Record<string, string[]>;
+  }>;
+  multiple: boolean;
+  excludeAcceptAllOption: boolean;
+}
+```
+
+**⚠️ Browser Compatibility Note**:
+- Will need to polyfill `File` API and potentially other modern web APIs
+- Consider polyfills for older browsers or environments lacking full ES6+ support
+- May need polyfills for: File System Access API, FileReader, Blob, etc.
+
+### Resource Management Integration
+```typescript
+// Integration with ts-res components using Result pattern
+import { Result } from '@fgv/ts-utils';
+import { ImportManager } from '@fgv/ts-res/src/import';
+import { ResourceManagerBuilder } from '@fgv/ts-res/src/resources';
+import { ResourceResolver } from '@fgv/ts-res/src/runtime';
+
+// Workflow: File → Import → Build → Compile → Resolve
+const importResult: Result<ImportManager> = importManager.importFromFileSystem(filePath);
+const buildResult: Result<ResourceManagerBuilder> = resourceManager.build();
+const compileResult: Result<CompiledResourceCollection> = resourceManager.getCompiledResourceCollection();
+```
+
+### Application State (using Result pattern)
+```typescript
+interface AppState {
+  importedResources: Result<ResourceManagerBuilder>;
+  compiledResources: Result<CompiledResourceCollection>;
+  resolver: Result<ResourceResolver>;
+  selectedTool: 'source' | 'filter' | 'compiled' | 'resolution' | 'configuration';
+  messages: Message[];
+  loading: boolean;
+  error: Result<string>;
+}
+```
