fantasia-electron-preload

name	fantasia-electron-preload
description	Extends or fixes renderer-facing Electron APIs exposed through the preload script and contextBridge. Use when adding IPC-like surface area, typing window.faContentBridgeAPIs, editing src-electron/contentBridgeAPIs, or extending shared IPC channel names in electron-ipc-bridge.ts.

Fantasia Archive — preload and content bridge

Architecture

• JSDoc/comments in src-electron/: AGENTS.md comment rules — no Markdown emphasis; single quotes for refs
• Preload: electron-preload.ts → contextBridge.exposeInMainWorld('faContentBridgeAPIs', apiObject)
• Renderer: window.faContentBridgeAPIs — src/globals.d.ts
• Implementations: contentBridgeAPIs/*.ts per API (window control, keybinds, project management, projectContentAPI, …)

Main ↔ preload IPC (electron-ipc-bridge)

• Async first: ipcRenderer.invoke + ipcMain.handle. sendSync last resort only
• Registry: electron-ipc-bridge.ts — FA_*_IPC constants; never duplicate string literals
• Main: register*Ipc.ts wired from startApp()
• Preload: import constants in contentBridgeAPIs/*.ts

Adding a new API surface

1. Contract in types/I_<Name>.ts
2. Channels in electron-ipc-bridge.ts + register*Ipc.ts + startup
3. Implement contentBridgeAPIs/<name>.ts
4. Add to apiObject in electron-preload.ts
5. Extend globals.d.ts
6. Vitest: contentBridgeAPIs/_tests/, ipcManagement/_tests/ — dev scoped connected specs during edits; full yarn testbatch:verify enforces 95% on src-electron before commit

Security and boundaries

• Narrow explicit methods — no raw Node/Electron objects to renderer
• No broad nodeIntegration in renderer
• Sandboxed preload → IPC to main for shell, paths, etc.
• Privileged calls via invoke — no @electron/remote without documented reason
• No neverthrow in preload — Promise chains; see neverthrow.mdc
• Structured IPC args validated in main with Zod — fantasia-electron-main
• faDevToolsControl: packaged installs must still toggle DevTools — product law, not optional hardening. fantasia-electron-main Packaged DevTools; rule electron-preload.mdc
