description	TypeScript coding standards and conventions including file naming rules

• new file copyright header: use year 2026 (e.g. Copyright (c) 2026, salesforce.com, inc.)
• no barrel files
• avoid type assertions (as Foo or as unknown as or Foo!). do guards or Effect.schema stuff (ex is) instead
• no void for async - use async/effect (exception vscode-window-messages)
• no export * - name exports explicitly
• prefer undefined over null (unless server requires null)
• prefer undefined over empty string
• prefer map/filter over loops/conditionals
• avoid mutation
• avoid any
• no enums or namespaces (enums compile to weird JS; use string union types instead; exception: interfaces defined outside this repo that we can't change)
• no runtime errors for developer mistakes (use types to ensure exhaustive switch/case; don't throw for null/undefined when input/consumer is within our control)
• .ts filenames: camelCase, no hyphens, no leading capitals
• preserve comments when refactoring; remove if wrong/obsolete
• exported functions: single-line jsdoc /*_ foo _/ if name unclear; no params/return (TS provides types)
• look for uses of (Object|Map).groupBy instead of older patterns
