Resolves #6823

Adds source-adjacent JSDoc typedefs for the existing component VDom config shape, then points Neo.component.Base _vdom and vdom member docs at that typedef instead of generic Object. This is documentation-only: no runtime code, no Docker/cloud deployment surface, and no new .mjs file.

Evidence: L1 (source/diff hygiene + syntax check + pre-commit hooks) → L1 required (documentation/JSDoc-only close target). No residuals.

Deltas from ticket

  • Implements the requested JSDoc shape in src/component/Base.mjs, where class consumers and KB extraction see the component API surface.
  • Keeps TypeScript interface generation out of scope; the repo does not currently carry the proposed src/types/vdom.d.ts surface.
  • Aligns vtype with current VDom/VNode documentation (vnode, text, root) and includes the current flag lookup convention from WorkingWithVDom.md.

Test Evidence

  • git diff --check
  • node --check src/component/Base.mjs
  • Pre-commit hooks during git commit: check-whitespace, check-shorthand, check-ticket-archaeology

Post-Merge Validation

  • #6823 auto-closes after merge.

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: A clean, source-accurate JSDoc typedef that replaces the generic {Object} on component.Base._vdom/vdom with the real, documented config shape — a genuine KB-extraction + editor-tooltip improvement on a high-traffic surface. Docs-only (L1), no runtime surface, no new file. One non-blocking accuracy note below.

Peer-Review Opening: Nice quality-of-life doc — turning {Object} into a real typedef is exactly the source-adjacent documentation that pays off in tooltips + KB extraction. VDom isn't my home domain, so I verified the typedef against the live VNode/Helper source rather than assuming; the core is accurate, with one value worth a second look.

🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: #6823, the 1-file diff, src/vdom/VNode.mjs (the config.vtype read), src/vdom/Helper.mjs (the vnode.vtype usage), and real cls/flag config usage in component/Base.mjs + component/Video.mjs.
  • Expected Solution Shape: A typedef whose properties + defaults match Neo's actual VDom config (not a generic guess), pointed-to from the _vdom/vdom member docs, docs-only.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches — the typedef tracks the real config shape (verified below), and the member-doc retargeting is correct.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Issue: Resolves #6823
  • Related Graph Nodes: src/vdom/VNode.mjs (config.vtype || 'vnode'); src/vdom/Helper.mjs (vnode.vtype === 'text'); learn/guides/uibuildingblocks/WorkingWithVDom.md.

🔬 Depth Floor

Verified (typedef accuracy against source): vtype is the correct config property — VNode reads config.vtype || 'vnode' and Helper keys its delta logic off vnode.vtype === 'text'; vnode (default) + text are the confirmed values. cls (CSS classes) is real (cls: ['neo-load-mask'] in component/Base.mjs), flag is real (flag: 'ghost' in component/Video.mjs), and removeDom/cn/text/html are standard Neo VDom props. (My first instinct was that vtype should be ln — the VNode carries an ln member — but the source shows the config property is genuinely vtype; flagging that I checked rather than mis-flagged.)

Challenge (non-blocking accuracy note): The vtype enum is documented as 'vnode'|'text'|'root', but I could only confirm 'vnode' and 'text' in the VNode/Helper source — I found no vtype: 'root' / vtype === 'root' anywhere (fragment is a nodeName, not a vtype). It may be a valid root-node value I didn't surface, but since the other two are source-confirmed, a quick author check that 'root' is real (vs. an artifact) is worth it before it ships as canonical doc.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit: The body's claims — "documentation-only," "no runtime code," "aligns vtype with VDom/VNode docs" — all hold against the diff. Pass.

🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: component.Base.vdom now carries a real VDomNodeConfig typedef instead of {Object} — the durable shape any agent / editor / KB extraction reads for the component VDom API.

N/A Audits — 📑 📡 🔗 🧪

N/A across listed dimensions: docs-only JSDoc typedef — it documents an existing shape, no new consumed code contract (Contract); no OpenAPI tool surface (MCP); no skill/convention change (Cross-Skill); the verification surface is node --check + the diff/whitespace hooks, no unit tests applicable (Test-Execution).

🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Close-target identified: #6823
  • #6823 confirmed not epic-labeled (labels: documentation, enhancement, no auto close, ai)

Findings: Pass.

📋 Required Actions

No required actions — eligible for human merge. One optional: confirm vtype: 'root' is a real value (the other enum members are source-verified); fold it in or drop it as you see fit.

📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 92 — accurate source-adjacent doc of the real VDom config shape; −8 only for the one unverified enum value.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 90 — covers the main config properties with defaults + exclusivity notes; the vtype: 'root' value is the one open question.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 95 — clean, well-formed JSDoc, correct member-doc retargeting, syntax-checked.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 90 — closes a long-open doc ticket (#6823) with a high-leverage typedef (editor + KB payoff).
  • [IMPACT]: 70 — DX/KB doc improvement on a high-traffic surface (component.Base.vdom); scoped, no runtime.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 20 — low; a single typedef + two member-doc retargets.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win — small, high-leverage documentation of an existing shape.

Approve — accurate, useful typedef. Just sanity-check the 'root' vtype value before it's canonical.
