Work on TPP

Make progress on the referenced Technical Project Plan by determining the current phase and taking appropriate action.

Required Reading First

Before any work, read these documents:

• CLAUDE.md
• docs/SIMPLE-DESIGN.md
• docs/TDD.md
• docs/TPP-GUIDE.md

Process

1. Read the TPP from the path given (default: check _todo/ for existing TPPs)
2. Read all documents listed in the TPP's "Required reading" section
3. Identify the current phase from the checklist
4. Execute work matching that phase:
   • Research & Planning: Explore code, read docs, summarize findings in TPP
   • Write breaking tests: Write tests that fail, proving the problem exists
   • Design alternatives: Propose options with pros/cons in the Solutions section
   • Task breakdown: Create specific, verifiable tasks with file paths and commands
   • Implementation: Write code, compile (npm run compile), run tests (npm test)
   • Review & Refinement: Lint (npm run lint), simplify, DRY up, remove dead code
   • Final Integration: Verify all tests pass, update docs if needed
   • Review: Final check against SIMPLE-DESIGN.md principles
5. Update the TPP with progress, findings, and any new lore
6. When done, move the TPP from _todo/ to _done/

Project Conventions

• Always run npm run compile before testing
• Use ?? (not ||) for nullish coalescing
• Use node: prefix for Node.js imports
• Use if (x != null) not if (x) for boolean safety
• No mocks in tests - use real ExifTool and actual image files
• Conventional Commits for commit messages
• Always ask before committing or pushing
