Code Review - PR #9: refactor: complete code simplification pass

Overview

This PR demonstrates excellent refactoring work focused on code organization, deduplication, and type safety. All tests pass (455 unit tests), and the changes align well with the project's high-quality standards.

---

✅ Strengths

1. Script Extraction & Deduplication ⭐

The extraction of inline scripts to external files (featured-project-card.ts, publication-card.ts) is a solid improvement:

• Enables code reuse across multiple component instances
• Improves maintainability and testability
• Reduces bundle duplication in pages with multiple cards

Example: src/scripts/publication-card.ts:1-42 - Clean module structure with proper initialization guards.

2. Type Safety Improvements

Replacing manual ProjectData interface with CollectionEntry<'projects'>['data'] is excellent:

// src/utils/project-categories.ts:68
export type ProjectData = CollectionEntry<'projects'>['data'];

This ensures the type stays synchronized with the content collection schema automatically.

3. Consistent Interface Exports

Exporting Props interfaces across 6 components improves testability and reusability. This enables proper type checking in test fixtures.

4. Test Fixture Organization

The new shared test fixtures (test/fixtures/props/{publication,patent,certification,award}.ts) follow DRY principles and provide good reusability patterns with factory functions.

5. CSS Simplification

Removing custom line-clamp utilities in favor of Tailwind v4 built-ins reduces maintenance burden and leverages framework capabilities.

⚠️ Issues & Recommendations

1. Missing Unit Tests for New Scripts 🔴 Critical

The new script files lack unit tests:

• src/scripts/featured-project-card.ts - No tests
• src/scripts/publication-card.ts - No tests

Impact: Test coverage likely decreased despite claim of 90%+ coverage. These scripts contain critical interactive functionality.

Recommendation:

// Example test structure for publication-card.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, beforeEach, vi } from 'vitest';

describe('publication-card script', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    document.body.innerHTML = `
      <article data-component="publication-card">
        <button data-toggle aria-expanded="true">
          <span data-toggle-text>Hide Abstract</span>
        </button>
        <div data-abstract class="expanded">Abstract content</div>
      </article>
    `;
  });

  it('should collapse abstracts on initialization', () => {
    // Import triggers initialization
    require('../src/scripts/publication-card');
    
    const toggle = document.querySelector('[data-toggle]');
    const abstract = document.querySelector('[data-abstract]');
    
    expect(toggle?.getAttribute('aria-expanded')).toBe('false');
    expect(abstract?.classList.contains('expanded')).toBe(false);
  });

  it('should toggle abstract on button click', () => {
    // Test toggle functionality
  });
});

2. Multiple Initialization Risk ⚠️ Medium

Issue: featured-project-card.ts:6-11 uses a module-level initialized flag, but the guard only prevents re-adding the event listener. The document.addEventListener('click', ...) is still added multiple times if the module is imported in multiple components on the same page.

Current Code:

// src/scripts/featured-project-card.ts:6-20
let initialized = false;

function initFeaturedProjectCards(): void {
  if (initialized) return;  // ⚠️ Only prevents re-initialization within same import
  initialized = true;
  
  document.addEventListener('click', event => {
    // ...
  });
}

Problem: On pages with multiple FeaturedProjectCard instances, Astro may bundle/execute the script multiple times, causing duplicate event listeners.

Recommendation: Add once flag to event listener:

document.addEventListener('click', event => {
  const target = event.target as HTMLElement;
  const githubLink = target.closest('[data-github-link]');
  if (githubLink) {
    event.stopPropagation();
  }
}, { once: false, capture: false });  // Or track at document level

Better approach: Use event listener deduplication:

let listenerAttached = false;

function handleClick(event: Event): void {
  const target = event.target as HTMLElement;
  const githubLink = target.closest('[data-github-link]');
  if (githubLink) {
    event.stopPropagation();
  }
}

function initFeaturedProjectCards(): void {
  if (listenerAttached) return;
  listenerAttached = true;
  document.addEventListener('click', handleClick);
}

3. Publication Card Script - Missing Initialization Guard ⚠️ Medium

Issue: publication-card.ts:6-42 doesn't have any initialization guard. Unlike featured-project-card.ts, this script will re-run initialization every time it's imported.

Current Code:

// src/scripts/publication-card.ts:6-35
function initPublicationCards(): void {
  document.querySelectorAll('[data-component="publication-card"]')
    .forEach(card => {
      // ... adds event listeners to each card
    });
}

// Runs immediately on import
if (document.readyState === 'loading') {
  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', initPublicationCards);
} else {
  initPublicationCards();
}

Problem: On pages with multiple PublicationCard instances, this will attach duplicate event listeners to the same toggle buttons, causing double-firing of toggle actions.

Recommendation:

let initialized = false;

function initPublicationCards(): void {
  if (initialized) return;
  initialized = true;
  
  // Rest of initialization...
}

4. Accessibility - Missing ARIA Live Region ℹ️ Low

The publication card abstract toggle changes visible content but doesn't announce state changes to screen readers.

Recommendation:

// In publication-card.ts
toggle.addEventListener('click', () => {
  const isExpanded = toggle.getAttribute('aria-expanded') === 'true';
  toggle.setAttribute('aria-expanded', String(!isExpanded));
  abstract.classList.toggle('expanded');
  toggleText.textContent = isExpanded ? 'Show Abstract' : 'Hide Abstract';
  
  // Add announcement for screen readers
  abstract.setAttribute('aria-live', 'polite');
});

5. Code Style - Trailing Commas Inconsistency ℹ️ Low

Test fixture files have inconsistent trailing comma usage:

• test/fixtures/props/publication.ts:16 - Has trailing comma
• test/fixtures/props/publication.ts:44 - No trailing comma

Recommendation: Enforce via gts/prettier config or be consistent throughout.

---

🔒 Security

✅ No security concerns identified:

• Event delegation properly scoped with closest()
• No XSS vulnerabilities (text content assignment is safe)
• No eval/innerHTML usage
• CSP-friendly (no inline handlers)

---

⚡ Performance

✅ Performance looks good:

• Event delegation used appropriately
• No memory leaks detected (though duplicate listeners are inefficient)
• Proper use of requestAnimationFrame patterns in other scripts

Minor note: Consider using { passive: true } for scroll listeners if applicable (already well-handled in navigation.ts).

---

🧪 Test Coverage Verification Needed

Claimed: 455 tests pass, 90%+ coverage
Concern: New scripts have no unit tests

Action Required:

1. Run coverage report: npm run test:coverage
2. Verify coverage hasn't regressed
3. Add tests for featured-project-card.ts and publication-card.ts

---

📝 Summary

Approve with Changes Requested:

Must Fix (before merge):

1. Add unit tests for featured-project-card.ts and publication-card.ts
2. Add initialization guard to publication-card.ts to prevent duplicate event listeners
3. Fix potential multiple initialization issue in featured-project-card.ts

Nice to Have (can be follow-up PR):
4. Add ARIA live region for abstract toggle announcements
5. Enforce consistent trailing comma style in test fixtures

Overall Assessment: Solid refactoring work with good architectural improvements. The main gaps are around test coverage and event listener deduplication. Once tests are added and the initialization issues are resolved, this will be an excellent contribution.

---

Test Plan Verification:

• ✅ All 455 unit tests pass
• ✅ Lint passes
• ✅ Build succeeds
• ❌ New code lacks unit tests

Recommendation: Request changes to add missing tests before merge.
