-# Backport Checklist for Scaffolding Templates
-
-Changes tested in `/flutor` that need to be propagated to vue-skuilder template packages.
-
-**Note:** This document is self-contained. All necessary code examples and rationale are included below.
-
-## How to Use This Document
-
-1. **Copy this file** to the vue-skuilder monorepo for reference
-2. **Apply changes 1-6** to the template packages (standalone-ui, sk-contributor)
-3. **Test** using the testing checklist at the bottom
-4. **Ignore** the "Infrastructure Changes" section - those are already in the monorepo
-
-**Files to Update:**
-- `/packages/standalone-ui/vite.config.ts`
-- `/packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/index.ts`
-- `/packages/standalone-ui/src/main.ts`
-- `/packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/*QuestionView.vue` (all view components)
-- `/packages/sk-contributor/` (same files as above)
-- `/packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/README.md` (examples)
-
-## Context
-
-These fixes enable custom questions to work in both:
-- **Standalone mode** (`yarn dev`) - already worked
-- **Studio mode** (`yarn studio`) - now works after these fixes
-
-The root cause was a combination of:
-1. Browser unable to resolve bare imports in dynamically loaded modules
-2. Missing view component names for runtime lookup
-3. Side-effect import not running (views array staying empty)
-4. Incorrect views export format for studio-ui consumption
-
-## 1. Vite Config - External Dependencies & Terser
-**File:** `vite.config.ts`
-**Location:** Library build configuration
-**Change:**
-```typescript
-build: buildMode === 'library'
-  ? {
-      // ...
-      terserOptions: {
-        keep_classnames: true,
-        keep_fnames: true, // ADD: Preserve function names
-        mangle: {
-          properties: false, // ADD: Don't mangle static properties like seedData
-        },
-      },
-      rollupOptions: {
-        // CRITICAL: Do NOT externalize dependencies for studio mode
-        // Browser cannot resolve bare imports without import maps
-        external: [
-          // Leave empty - bundle everything for browser compatibility
-        ],
-      }
-    }
-```
-**Why:**
-- Terser options prevent minification from mangling static properties (seedData, views, dataShapes)
-- Empty externals array bundles all dependencies so browser can load the module without import maps
-- Previously tried externalizing to avoid duplication, but browser can't resolve `import { X } from "@vue-skuilder/courseware"` at runtime
-**Affects:**
-- `/packages/standalone-ui/vite.config.ts`
-- CLI template generation for new projects
-
----
-
-## 2. Question Index - Views Export Format
-**File:** `src/questions/index.ts`
-**Location:** `allCustomQuestions()` function
-**Change:**
-```typescript
-// OLD (broken):
-const views: ViewComponent[] = [];
-questionClasses.forEach((questionClass) => {
-  if (questionClass.views) {
-    questionClass.views.forEach((view) => {
-      views.push(view);
-    });
-  }
-});
-
-// NEW (working):
-const views: Array<{ name: string; component: ViewComponent }> = [];
-questionClasses.forEach((questionClass) => {
-  if (questionClass.views) {
-    questionClass.views.forEach((view) => {
-      const viewName = (view as any).name || (view as any).__name;
-      if (viewName) {
-        if (!views.find((existing) => existing.name === viewName)) {
-          views.push({ name: viewName, component: view });
-        }
-      } else {
-        console.warn('[allCustomQuestions] View component missing name property:', view);
-      }
-    });
-  }
-});
-```
-**Why:** Studio-ui expects `{ name, component }` format (see studio-ui/src/main.ts:183-189)
-**Affects:**
-- `/packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/index.ts`
-- `/packages/sk-contributor/src/questions/index.ts`
-
----
-
-## 3. Question Index - TypeScript Interface
-**File:** `src/questions/index.ts`
-**Location:** `CustomQuestionsExport` interface
-**Change:**
-```typescript
-export interface CustomQuestionsExport {
-  courses: CourseWare[];
-  questionClasses: Array<typeof Question>;
-  dataShapes: DataShape[];
-  views: Array<{ name: string; component: ViewComponent }>; // CHANGED from ViewComponent[]
-  inlineComponents: Record<string, any>;
-  meta: { /* ... */ };
-}
-```
-**Why:** Matches runtime format
-**Affects:**
-- `/packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/index.ts`
-- `/packages/sk-contributor/src/questions/index.ts`
-
----
-
-## 4. Main.ts - Import Questions Index
-**File:** `src/main.ts`
-**Location:** Before `allCourseWare.courses.push(exampleCourse)`
-**Change:**
-```typescript
-// Import allCourseWare singleton and exampleCourse
-import { allCourseWare } from '@vue-skuilder/courseware';
-// Import from index.ts to ensure view setup code runs
-import './questions/index'; // ADD THIS LINE
-import { exampleCourse } from './questions/exampleCourse';
-```
-**Why:** Ensures static view setup runs before course registration
-**Affects:**
-- `/packages/standalone-ui/src/main.ts`
-- `/packages/sk-contributor/src/main.ts`
-
----
-
-## 5. Question Class - Direct Inline Views
-**File:** `src/questions/MyQuestion.ts`
-**Location:** Question class static properties
-**Change:**
-```typescript
-// Import at top
-import { markRaw } from 'vue';
-import MyQuestionView from './MyQuestionView.vue';
-
-export class MyQuestion extends Question {
-  public static dataShapes = [/* ... */];
-
-  // Direct inline registration - no external setup needed
-  public static views = [markRaw(MyQuestionView)]; // CHANGED from empty array
-
-  // ...
-}
-```
-**Why:** Self-contained, works immediately, no fragile side-effects
-**Affects:**
-- Template examples in `/packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/README.md`
-- Template examples in `/packages/sk-contributor/src/questions/README.md`
-- Existing template questions (NumberRangeQuestion, etc.)
-
----
-
-## 6. Vue Component - DefineOptions Name
-**File:** `src/questions/MyQuestionView.vue`
-**Location:** Script setup
-**Change:**
-```typescript
-<script setup lang="ts">
-import { defineOptions } from 'vue'; // ADD import
-
-defineOptions({
-  name: 'MyQuestionView' // ADD this block
-});
-
-// rest of setup...
-```
-**Why:** Vue components need explicit names for runtime lookup
-**Affects:**
-- All template Vue view components
-- README examples
-
----
-
-## 7. Remove Index.ts Side-Effects (Future)
-**File:** `src/questions/index.ts`
-**Location:** Top-level code
-**Change:**
-```typescript
-// REMOVE these lines (views should be set in question files directly):
-// import SustainedNoteQuestionView from './SustainedNoteQuestionView.vue';
-// SustainedNoteQuestion.views = [markRaw(SustainedNoteQuestionView)];
-```
-**Why:** Side-effects are fragile; prefer direct inline registration
-**Status:** Deferred until all templates use Pattern 1
-**Affects:**
-- `/packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/index.ts`
-
----
-
-## Implementation Priority
-
-### Phase 1 (Critical - Breaks studio mode)
-- [ ] #2: Fix views export format in index.ts
-- [ ] #3: Update TypeScript interface
-- [ ] #1: Add terser options to vite.config
-
-### Phase 2 (Important - Breaks runtime)
-- [ ] #4: Add index.ts import to main.ts
-- [ ] #6: Add defineOptions to all template Vue components
-
-### Phase 3 (Nice to have)
-- [ ] #5: Update documentation/examples to show direct inline pattern
-- [ ] #7: Remove side-effects from index.ts (future)
-
-## Testing Checklist
-
-After backporting, verify:
-- [ ] `yarn dev` works (standalone mode)
-- [ ] `yarn studio` works (studio mode)
-- [ ] Custom questions appear in studio CreateCardView
-- [ ] Card creation works with custom DataShapes
-- [ ] Seed data registration doesn't error
-- [ ] Cards render correctly in both modes
-- [ ] Custom inline markdown components work
-
-## Infrastructure Changes (Already Done in Monorepo)
-
-**⚠️ You do NOT need to apply these changes - they are already in the monorepo codebase.**
-
-These were supporting infrastructure fixes made alongside the template changes:
-
-### CLI - studio.ts
-**File:** `/packages/cli/src/commands/studio.ts`
-**What changed:** Config import path updated when copying to dist
-```typescript
-// Line ~1147
-configContent.importPath = '/assets/questions.mjs'; // Absolute path from root
-```
-**Why:** Ensures browser can find the bundled questions module
-
-### Studio-UI - main.ts
-**File:** `/packages/studio-ui/src/main.ts`
-**What changed:**
-- Registers custom courses with `allCourseWare.courses.push(...customQuestions.courses)`
-- Added verbose debug logging for troubleshooting
-- Uses `/* @vite-ignore */` comment for dynamic import
-
-**Why:** Studio-ui now properly integrates custom courses into the singleton

-# Assessment: Backport Custom Questions Fixes
-
-## Context
-
-The `BACKPORT_CHECKLIST.md` document details 7 changes that were tested in `/flutor` to enable custom questions to work in both standalone mode (`yarn dev`) and studio mode (`yarn studio`). These fixes address:
-
-1. Browser unable to resolve bare imports in dynamically loaded modules
-2. Missing view component names for runtime lookup
-3. Side-effect import not running (views array staying empty)
-4. Incorrect views export format for studio-ui consumption
-
-## Current State Analysis
-
-Branch: `custom-q-packing-updates` (fresh, no commits yet)
-
-### What's Already Fixed
-
-**Partially Fixed:**
-- ✅ Vite config: Empty externals array (bundling everything for browser compatibility)
-- ✅ Vite config: `keep_classnames: true` in terser options
-- ✅ Question classes: Already using `{ name, component }` format in static views
-  - `SimpleTextQuestion.views = [{ name: 'SimpleTextQuestionView', component: SimpleTextQuestionView }]`
-  - Same for MultipleChoiceQuestion and NumberRangeQuestion
-
-### What's Missing
-
-**Critical Issues (Phase 1):**
-1. ❌ **Vite config terser options incomplete**
-   - Missing: `keep_fnames: true`
-   - Missing: `mangle: { properties: false }`
-   - Affects: `/packages/standalone-ui/vite.config.ts` (line 48-50)
-   - Affects: `/packages/sk-contributor/vite.config.ts` (line 63-65)
-
-2. ❌ **Views export format in index.ts**
-   - Current: `const views: ViewComponent[] = []` (line 55)
-   - Expected: `const views: Array<{ name: string; component: ViewComponent }> = []`
-   - Missing name extraction logic with warnings
-   - Affects: Both packages' `src/questions/index.ts`
-
-3. ❌ **TypeScript interface mismatch**
-   - Current: `views: ViewComponent[]` (line 105)
-   - Expected: `views: Array<{ name: string; component: ViewComponent }>`
-   - Affects: `CustomQuestionsExport` interface in both `index.ts` files
-
-**Important Issues (Phase 2):**
-4. ❌ **Side-effect import missing in main.ts**
-   - Neither main.ts imports `'./questions/index'` before exampleCourse
-   - Current: Line 28 directly imports exampleCourse
-   - Expected: Add `import './questions/index';` before line 28
-   - Affects: `/packages/standalone-ui/src/main.ts`
-   - Affects: `/packages/sk-contributor/src/main.ts`
-
-5. ❌ **Vue components missing defineOptions**
-   - None of the Vue components have `defineOptions({ name: '...' })`
-   - Required for runtime component lookup
-   - Affects: All 3 view components in both packages:
-     - SimpleTextQuestionView.vue
-     - MultipleChoiceQuestionView.vue
-     - NumberRangeQuestionView.vue
-
-**Documentation (Phase 3):**
-6. ❌ **README examples outdated**
-   - Current README shows old patterns
-   - Should document direct inline registration pattern
-   - Affects: `/packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/README.md`
-
-## Risk Assessment
-
-### If We Don't Apply These Changes
-
-**Studio mode will likely break:**
-- Custom questions won't appear in studio CreateCardView
-- Card creation with custom DataShapes may fail
-- View components may not be found at runtime
-- Minification may mangle static properties (seedData, views, dataShapes)
-
-**Standalone mode may work:**
-- Direct imports in main.ts already register course
-- No dynamic module loading required
-- But builds may still have mangled properties
-
-### If We Apply Changes Incorrectly
-
-**Low risk areas:**
-- Terser options (additive, won't break existing code)
-- Vue defineOptions (additive, standard Vue 3 pattern)
-- TypeScript interface updates (compile-time only)
-
-**Medium risk areas:**
-- Views export format change (runtime behavior change)
-  - Studio-ui expects `{ name, component }` format
-  - If we break this, studio mode will definitely fail
-  - But standalone mode doesn't use this export currently
-
-**High risk areas:**
-- Side-effect import ordering
-  - If views array setup runs too early/late, may cause registration issues
-  - But since question classes already have inline views, this is less critical
-
-## Options
-
-### Option 1: Full Sequential Backport
-Apply all 6 changes in the priority order from the checklist:
-- Phase 1: Changes 1-3 (vite config, views export, interface)
-- Phase 2: Changes 4-5 (side-effect import, defineOptions)
-- Phase 3: Change 6 (documentation)
-
-**Pros:**
-- Complete implementation matching tested flutor state
-- Follows documented priority order
-- Clear testing checkpoints between phases
-
-**Cons:**
-- More changes than strictly necessary
-- Includes defensive fixes for problems we may not have
-
-### Option 2: Minimal Critical Path
-Apply only the changes that directly affect studio mode:
-1. Terser options (keep_fnames, mangle.properties)
-2. Views export format + name extraction
-3. TypeScript interface update
-4. Vue defineOptions in all components
-
-Skip:
-- Side-effect import (since classes already have inline views)
-- Documentation (do in separate PR)
-
-**Pros:**
-- Minimum necessary changes
-- Faster to implement and test
-- Lower risk of unintended side effects
-
-**Cons:**
-- May still have latent issues with view registration
-- Documentation stays out of sync
-
-### Option 3: Investigate Before Backporting
-First test current state to identify actual failures:
-1. Build library mode for both packages
-2. Test studio mode integration
-3. Only apply fixes for confirmed failures
-
-**Pros:**
-- Evidence-based approach
-- Don't fix what isn't broken
-- Better understanding of actual issues
-
-**Cons:**
-- Requires studio-ui setup and testing infrastructure
-- May waste time if multiple test cycles needed
-- Checklist authors already did this investigation
-
-### Option 4: Full Backport with Verification
-Apply all changes but verify each phase:
-1. Apply Phase 1, build, verify no breaks
-2. Apply Phase 2, build, verify no breaks
-3. Apply Phase 3 (docs only)
-4. Test both standalone and studio modes
-
-**Pros:**
-- High confidence in final state
-- Methodical with verification points
-- Documents any deviations from checklist
-
-**Cons:**
-- Time intensive
-- Requires studio mode test setup
-
-## Recommendation
-
-**Option 2: Minimal Critical Path** with selective additions
-
-Apply these specific changes:
-
-**Immediate (Critical):**
-1. ✅ Vite config terser options - Add `keep_fnames` and `mangle.properties`
-2. ✅ Views export format - Change to `{ name, component }[]` with name extraction
-3. ✅ TypeScript interface - Update to match runtime format
-4. ✅ Vue defineOptions - Add to all 6 view components (3 per package)
-
-**Deferred (Safe to skip for now):**
-5. ⏸️ Side-effect import - Skip because classes already have inline views
-6. ⏸️ Documentation updates - Do in separate documentation PR
-
-**Rationale:**
-- Question classes already use correct inline pattern, so side-effect import is redundant
-- The checklist itself notes change #7 (removing side-effects) should be "future" work
-- This gets us to a working state faster with less risk
-- We can add the side-effect import later if we discover view registration issues
-
-**Success Criteria:**
-After applying changes:
-- ✅ Library builds succeed for both packages
-- ✅ No minification of static properties (seedData, views, dataShapes)
-- ✅ View components have explicit names for runtime lookup
-- ✅ Studio-ui can import and parse the views array correctly
-
-**Testing Plan:**
-1. Apply changes to standalone-ui first
-2. Build library mode: `BUILD_MODE=library yarn workspace @vue-skuilder/standalone-ui build`
-3. Verify output in `dist-lib/` has correct structure
-4. Replicate to sk-contributor
-5. Test integration with studio mode (if available)
-
-## Next Steps
-
-If approved, I will:
-1. Create `a.2.plan.md` detailing the specific changes
-2. Create `a.3.todo.md` with checklist of files to modify
-3. Proceed with implementation in phases

-# Plan: Backport Custom Questions Fixes with CI Verification
-
-## Objective
-
-Apply all custom questions fixes from the flutor testing to the monorepo templates, and add CI tests to prevent regression.
-
-## Success Criteria
-
-1. ✅ All 6 backport changes applied to both `standalone-ui` and `sk-contributor`
-2. ✅ Library builds succeed with correct output structure
-3. ✅ Standalone mode works (existing test already covers this)
-4. ✅ Studio mode works (new test to verify)
-5. ✅ CI catches breakage if any of these changes regress
-
-## Scope
-
-### In Scope
-- All changes from BACKPORT_CHECKLIST phases 1-3
-- Both template packages: standalone-ui and sk-contributor
-- CI enhancements to test custom questions
-- Studio mode verification test
-
-### Out of Scope
-- Changes to infrastructure packages (already done per checklist)
-- Platform-ui changes (not a scaffolding template)
-- Breaking API changes to Question class
-
-## Implementation Phases
-
-### Phase 1: Backport Critical Changes (Both Packages)
-
-**Files to modify:**
-- `packages/standalone-ui/vite.config.ts`
-- `packages/sk-contributor/vite.config.ts`
-- `packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/index.ts`
-- `packages/sk-contributor/src/questions/index.ts`
-
-**Changes:**
-
-1. **Vite config terser options** (BACKPORT #1)
-   ```typescript
-   terserOptions: {
-     keep_classnames: true,
-     keep_fnames: true,              // ADD
-     mangle: {
-       properties: false,            // ADD
-     },
-   }
-   ```
-
-2. **Views export format** (BACKPORT #2)
-   ```typescript
-   // Change from:
-   const views: ViewComponent[] = [];
-
-   // To:
-   const views: Array<{ name: string; component: ViewComponent }> = [];
-
-   // With name extraction logic:
-   questionClass.views.forEach((view) => {
-     const viewName = (view as any).name || (view as any).__name;
-     if (viewName) {
-       if (!views.find((existing) => existing.name === viewName)) {
-         views.push({ name: viewName, component: view });
-       }
-     } else {
-       console.warn('[allCustomQuestions] View component missing name property:', view);
-     }
-   });
-   ```
-
-3. **TypeScript interface** (BACKPORT #3)
-   ```typescript
-   export interface CustomQuestionsExport {
-     // ... other fields
-     views: Array<{ name: string; component: ViewComponent }>;  // CHANGE
-   }
-   ```
-
-### Phase 2: Add Component Names (Both Packages)
-
-**Files to modify:**
-- `packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/SimpleTextQuestionView.vue`
-- `packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/MultipleChoiceQuestionView.vue`
-- `packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/NumberRangeQuestionView.vue`
-- `packages/sk-contributor/src/questions/SimpleTextQuestionView.vue`
-- `packages/sk-contributor/src/questions/MultipleChoiceQuestionView.vue`
-- `packages/sk-contributor/src/questions/NumberRangeQuestionView.vue`
-
-**Changes:** (BACKPORT #6)
-```vue
-<script setup lang="ts">
-import { defineOptions } from 'vue';  // ADD if not present
-
-defineOptions({
-  name: 'SimpleTextQuestionView'  // ADD - use appropriate name for each
-});
-
-// rest of setup...
-```
-
-### Phase 3: Add Side-Effect Import (Both Packages)
-
-**Files to modify:**
-- `packages/standalone-ui/src/main.ts`
-- `packages/sk-contributor/src/main.ts`
-
-**Changes:** (BACKPORT #4)
-```typescript
-// Import allCourseWare singleton and exampleCourse
-import { allCourseWare } from '@vue-skuilder/courseware';
-import './questions/index';  // ADD THIS LINE
-import { exampleCourse } from './questions/exampleCourse';
-```
-
-**Rationale:** Even though question classes have inline views, this ensures the index.ts module runs and all exports are properly initialized before course registration.
-
-### Phase 4: Update Documentation
-
-**Files to modify:**
-- `packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/README.md`
-- `packages/sk-contributor/src/questions/README.md` (if exists)
-
-**Changes:** (BACKPORT #5)
-Update examples to show:
-- Direct inline view registration pattern
-- Use of `markRaw()` for Vue components
-- Use of `defineOptions({ name: '...' })` in Vue components
-- Correct `{ name, component }` format in static views
-
-### Phase 5: Build and Verify
-
-**Steps:**
-1. Build standalone-ui library mode
-   ```bash
-   BUILD_MODE=library yarn workspace @vue-skuilder/standalone-ui build
-   ```
-
-2. Verify output in `packages/standalone-ui/dist-lib/`:
-   - `questions.mjs` exists
-   - Static properties not mangled (inspect with `less questions.mjs`)
-   - Views array has correct structure
-
-3. Build sk-contributor library mode
-   ```bash
-   BUILD_MODE=library yarn workspace @vue-skuilder/sk-contributor build
-   ```
-
-4. Verify output in `packages/sk-contributor/dist-lib/`
-
-5. Test standalone dev mode
-   ```bash
-   yarn workspace @vue-skuilder/standalone-ui dev
-   # Navigate to /study and verify cards render
-   ```
-
-## CI Enhancement Plan
-
-### Current State
-- `ci-pkg-cli.yml` tests scaffolded apps
-- Runs `yarn try:init` to create test project
-- Runs basic smoke test (home page loads, study view renders cards)
-
-### Proposed Enhancements
-
-#### 1. Enhanced Scaffolded App Test
-
-**Extend:** `packages/cli/cypress/e2e/scaffolded-app.cy.js`
-
-**Add tests for:**
-```javascript
-describe('Custom Questions - Standalone Mode', () => {
-  it('should render custom question types in study view', () => {
-    cy.visit('/study');
-
-    // Verify SimpleTextQuestionView renders
-    // (component should have data-viewable="SimpleTextQuestionView")
-    cy.get('[data-viewable*="SimpleTextQuestionView"]', { timeout: 15000 })
-      .should('exist');
-
-    // Verify question has input field
-    cy.get('input[placeholder*="answer"], input[type="text"]')
-      .should('be.visible');
-  });
-
-  it('should have custom data shapes in example course', () => {
-    // This verifies that dataShapes are properly exported
-    // Could check via dev tools or API if exposed
-  });
-});
-```
-
-#### 2. Studio Mode Test (New)
-
-**New file:** `packages/cli/cypress/e2e/scaffolded-app-studio.cy.js`
-
-**Test studio mode integration:**
-```javascript
-describe('Custom Questions - Studio Mode', () => {
-  before(() => {
-    // Start studio mode server
-    // This may require adding a studio start script to testproject
-  });
-
-  it('should load studio UI with custom questions', () => {
-    cy.visit('http://localhost:6174'); // or wherever studio runs
-
-    // Verify studio UI loads
-    cy.get('body').should('be.visible');
-  });
-
-  it('should show custom data shapes in CreateCardView', () => {
-    cy.visit('http://localhost:6174/create');
-
-    // Verify custom DataShapes appear in dropdown/selector
-    cy.contains('SimpleTextQuestion').should('exist');
-    cy.contains('MultipleChoiceQuestion').should('exist');
-    cy.contains('NumberRangeQuestion').should('exist');
-  });
-
-  it('should render custom views when creating card', () => {
-    cy.visit('http://localhost:6174/create');
-
-    // Select custom question type
-    cy.contains('SimpleTextQuestion').click();
-
-    // Verify view component loads (may need to fill required fields first)
-    // Check for component-specific elements
-  });
-});
-```
-
-#### 3. CI Workflow Enhancement
-
-**Modify:** `.github/workflows/ci-pkg-cli.yml`
-
-**Add studio mode test step:**
-```yaml
-- name: Start studio mode and wait
-  working-directory: packages/cli/testproject
-  run: |
-    # Start studio server in background
-    npm run studio &
-    # Wait for studio to be ready
-    npx wait-on http://localhost:6174 --timeout 60000
-
-- name: Run E2E tests on studio mode
-  working-directory: packages/cli
-  run: yarn test:e2e:studio:headless
-
-- name: Cleanup services
-  if: always()
-  run: |
-    kill $(lsof -t -i:5173) || true
-    kill $(lsof -t -i:6174) || true  # ADD studio port
-    yarn couchdb:stop
-```
-
-**Add to cleanup step:**
-```yaml
-- name: Cleanup services
-  if: always()
-  run: |
-    # Clean up dev server
-    kill $(lsof -t -i:5173) || true
-    # Clean up studio server
-    kill $(lsof -t -i:6174) || true
-    # Clean up CouchDB
-    yarn couchdb:stop
-```
-
-#### 4. Package Scripts
-
-**Add to:** `packages/cli/package.json`
-```json
-{
-  "scripts": {
-    "test:e2e:studio": "cypress open --config-file cypress.studio.config.js",
-    "test:e2e:studio:headless": "cypress run --config-file cypress.studio.config.js"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Create:** `packages/cli/cypress.studio.config.js`
-```javascript
-const { defineConfig } = require('cypress');
-
-module.exports = defineConfig({
-  e2e: {
-    baseUrl: 'http://localhost:6174',
-    specPattern: 'cypress/e2e/*-studio.cy.js',
-    supportFile: 'cypress/support/e2e.js',
-  },
-});
-```
-
-## Verification Checklist
-
-After completing all phases:
-
-**Manual Verification:**
-- [ ] `yarn dev` works (standalone mode) - both packages
-- [ ] `yarn studio` works (studio mode) - both packages
-- [ ] Custom questions appear in studio CreateCardView
-- [ ] Card creation works with custom DataShapes
-- [ ] Seed data registration doesn't error
-- [ ] Cards render correctly in both modes
-- [ ] Custom inline markdown components work (if applicable)
-
-**Build Verification:**
-- [ ] Library build completes without errors
-- [ ] Output has `questions.mjs` with correct structure
-- [ ] Static properties preserved (not mangled)
-- [ ] Views array has `{ name, component }` format
-
-**CI Verification:**
-- [ ] All existing CI tests pass
-- [ ] New custom questions tests pass
-- [ ] Studio mode tests pass (if added)
-- [ ] No console errors in test runs
-
-## Risks and Mitigations
-
-### Risk: Studio mode test complexity
-Studio mode may require more complex setup (database, auth, etc.)
-
-**Mitigation:**
-- Start with basic "does it load" test
-- Gradually add more specific tests
-- Document studio setup requirements
-
-### Risk: CI instability with multiple servers
-Running dev + studio + couchdb may cause port conflicts or timing issues
-
-**Mitigation:**
-- Use explicit port assignments
-- Add robust wait-on checks
-- Ensure cleanup runs even on failure
-- Consider separate CI jobs for studio tests
-
-### Risk: Breaking changes to question API
-Changes to views format might break existing user code
-
-**Mitigation:**
-- These are template packages, not library code
-- Changes only affect scaffolded projects going forward
-- Document migration path in README
-- Consider adding migration guide to docs site
-
-### Risk: Test maintenance burden
-More tests = more maintenance
-
-**Mitigation:**
-- Keep tests focused on critical paths
-- Use test selectors that are stable
-- Document test rationale in comments
-- Review test failures promptly
-
-## Timeline Estimate
-
-- **Phase 1-3 (Backport):** 1-2 hours
-- **Phase 4 (Documentation):** 30 minutes
-- **Phase 5 (Build verification):** 30 minutes
-- **CI Enhancement:** 2-3 hours
-  - Writing tests: 1-2 hours
-  - CI setup: 1 hour
-  - Debugging: variable
-
-**Total:** 4-6 hours
-
-## Next Steps
-
-1. Get approval on this plan
-2. Create detailed todo checklist
-3. Start with Phase 1 on standalone-ui
-4. Verify each phase before moving to next
-5. Replicate to sk-contributor
-6. Add CI enhancements
-7. Document any deviations or learnings

-# Todo: Backport Custom Questions Fixes with CI Verification
-
-## Phase 1: Backport Critical Changes to standalone-ui
-
-### 1.1 Vite Config - Terser Options
-- [x] Open `packages/standalone-ui/vite.config.ts`
-- [x] Locate `terserOptions` in library build config (around line 48-50)
-- [x] Add `keep_fnames: true`
-- [x] Add `mangle: { properties: false }`
-- [x] Verify syntax is correct
-- [x] Sync same changes to `packages/cli/src/utils/template.ts` (line ~193)
-  - **Why:** CLI uses template.ts to generate vite.config.ts for scaffolded projects
-  - **CI Check:** Automated check ensures these stay in sync
-
-### 1.2 Views Export Format - index.ts
-- [x] Open `packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/index.ts`
-- [x] Change line 55: `const views: ViewComponent[]` to `const views: Array<{ name: string; component: ViewComponent }>`
-- [x] Replace views collection logic (lines 56-65) with name extraction pattern:
-  ```typescript
-  questionClass.views.forEach((view) => {
-    const viewName = (view as any).name || (view as any).__name;
-    if (viewName) {
-      if (!views.find((existing) => existing.name === viewName)) {
-        views.push({ name: viewName, component: view });
-      }
-    } else {
-      console.warn('[allCustomQuestions] View component missing name property:', view);
-    }
-  });
-  ```
-
-### 1.3 TypeScript Interface - index.ts
-- [x] In same file, locate `CustomQuestionsExport` interface (line 99-114)
-- [x] Change line 105: `views: ViewComponent[]` to `views: Array<{ name: string; component: ViewComponent }>`
-
-### 1.4 Test Build (DEFERRED)
-- [ ] Run: `BUILD_MODE=library yarn workspace @vue-skuilder/standalone-ui build`
-- [ ] Verify build succeeds
-- [ ] Inspect `packages/standalone-ui/dist-lib/questions.mjs` for correct output
-
-## Phase 2: Add Component Names to standalone-ui
-
-### 2.1 SimpleTextQuestionView.vue
-- [x] Open `packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/SimpleTextQuestionView.vue`
-- [x] Add import if not present: `import { defineOptions } from 'vue';`
-- [x] Add after imports (before props):
-  ```typescript
-  defineOptions({
-    name: 'SimpleTextQuestionView'
-  });
-  ```
-
-### 2.2 MultipleChoiceQuestionView.vue
-- [x] Open `packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/MultipleChoiceQuestionView.vue`
-- [x] Add defineOptions import
-- [x] Add: `defineOptions({ name: 'MultipleChoiceQuestionView' });`
-
-### 2.3 NumberRangeQuestionView.vue
-- [x] Open `packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/NumberRangeQuestionView.vue`
-- [x] Add defineOptions import
-- [x] Add: `defineOptions({ name: 'NumberRangeQuestionView' });`
-
-### 2.4 Test Build Again (DEFERRED)
-- [ ] Run: `BUILD_MODE=library yarn workspace @vue-skuilder/standalone-ui build`
-- [ ] Verify build succeeds
-- [ ] Check that component names are preserved in output
-
-## Phase 3: Side-Effect Import to standalone-ui (OMITTED)
-
-**DECISION:** This phase was omitted because the side-effect import is not needed.
-
-**Rationale:**
-- Question classes already have inline view registration (e.g., `SimpleTextQuestion.views = [{ name, component }]`)
-- No additional setup code exists in `index.ts` that needs to run
-- BACKPORT_CHECKLIST #7 even recommends removing side-effects as "future" work
-- We're already using the preferred direct inline pattern (#5)
-
-**Risk:** If tests fail with "view not found" errors, we may need to add this back. But current analysis indicates it's redundant.
-
-### 3.1 Main.ts Import
-- [x] ~~Add `import './questions/index';`~~ OMITTED (not needed)
-
-### 3.2 Test Dev Mode (DEFERRED)
-- [ ] Run: `yarn workspace @vue-skuilder/standalone-ui dev`
-- [ ] Navigate to http://localhost:6173
-- [ ] Verify app loads without errors
-- [ ] Check browser console for warnings
-
-## Phase 4: sk-contributor Package (REMOVED)
-
-**DECISION:** The sk-contributor package never made it off the ground and is being removed from the monorepo.
-
-### 4.1 Remove Package
-- [ ] User will execute: `git rm -r packages/sk-contributor`
-- [ ] Update workspace references if needed (package.json, tsconfig, etc.)
-
-**Note:** All backport changes were only applied to standalone-ui. If sk-contributor is revived in the future, it would need the same changes applied.
-
-## Phase 5: Update Documentation
-
-### 5.1 Standalone-ui README
-- [x] Open `packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/README.md`
-- [x] Update examples to show `defineOptions({ name: '...' })` pattern
-- [x] Update examples to show direct inline view registration with `markRaw()`
-- [x] Add note about `markRaw()` for Vue components
-- [x] Add note about `{ name, component }` format for studio compatibility
-- [x] Note that side-effect import is NOT needed (inline pattern preferred)
-- [x] Add "Best Practices" section with key guidelines
-
-## Phase 6: CI Enhancement - Custom Questions Workflow Test
-
-**Strategy:** Create end-to-end test of custom questions workflow:
-1. Scaffold empty static course
-2. Start studio mode
-3. Create card using custom DataShape via Cypress
-4. Verify card renders in studio browse view
-5. Flush to static via Cypress button click
-6. Start dev mode
-7. Verify card renders in dev study view
-
-**Key Decisions:**
-- Leave existing `scaffolded-app.cy.js` alone (tests packed courses)
-- New script: `try:init:empty` (no --import-course-data)
-- **TWO Cypress test files** (studio tests, then dev tests - cleaner CI workflow)
-- Clean up between existing and new test
-- Studio mode manages its own CouchDB (no conflicts)
-- Flush via Cypress clicking studio UI button
-
-### 6.1 CLI Script - Empty Project Init
-- [x] Add to `packages/cli/package.json`:
-  - `try:init:empty` - scaffolds empty project with template custom questions
-  - Includes npm install and file:.. dependencies
-
-### 6.2 Cypress Tests - Custom Questions Workflow
-- [x] Create `packages/cli/cypress/e2e/custom-questions-studio.cy.js`
-  - Test 1: Studio UI loads
-  - Test 2: Custom DataShapes appear in CreateCardView
-  - Test 3: Create card with SimpleTextQuestion
-  - Test 4: Card renders in studio browse view
-  - Test 5: Flush to static button works
-- [x] Create `packages/cli/cypress/e2e/custom-questions-dev.cy.js`
-  - Test 1: Dev mode loads
-  - Test 2: Flushed card renders in study view
-  - Test 3: Can interact with custom question
-
-### 6.3 CI Workflow Updates
-- [x] Update `.github/workflows/ci-pkg-cli.yml`
-- [x] Add after existing test cleanup:
-  - Create empty project
-  - Start studio mode (wait on 7174)
-  - Run studio tests
-  - Shutdown studio
-  - Start dev mode (wait on 6173)
-  - Run dev tests
-  - Final cleanup (all ports)
-
-### 6.4 Package Scripts
-- [x] Update existing scripts to be specific:
-  - `test:e2e` - now targets only `scaffolded-app.cy.js`
-  - `test:e2e:headless` - now targets only `scaffolded-app.cy.js`
-- [x] Add new custom questions scripts:
-  - `test:e2e:custom:studio` - open studio tests
-  - `test:e2e:custom:studio:headless` - run studio tests
-  - `test:e2e:custom:dev` - open dev tests
-  - `test:e2e:custom:dev:headless` - run dev tests
-
-### 6.5 Local Testing (DEFERRED)
-- [ ] Build CLI: `yarn workspace @vue-skuilder/cli build`
-- [ ] Run empty init: `cd packages/cli && yarn try:init:empty`
-- [ ] Test studio: `cd testproject-empty && npx skuilder studio`
-- [ ] Manually verify custom questions appear in CreateCardView
-- [ ] Run Cypress studio tests: `cd packages/cli && yarn test:e2e:custom:studio`
-- [ ] After flush, run dev tests: `yarn test:e2e:custom:dev`
-
-## Phase 7: Obsolete (Merged into Phase 6)
-
-Studio mode tests are now fully covered in Phase 6 with the two-file Cypress approach:
-- `custom-questions-studio.cy.js` tests studio mode functionality
-- `custom-questions-dev.cy.js` tests dev mode after flush
-- CI workflow runs both sequentially with proper server lifecycle management
-
-## Phase 8: Final Verification
-
-### 8.1 Manual Testing
-- [ ] Test standalone-ui dev mode: `yarn workspace @vue-skuilder/standalone-ui dev`
-- [ ] Navigate to /study and verify cards render
-- [ ] Test sk-contributor dev mode (if applicable)
-- [ ] From testproject: Run `npx skuilder studio`
-- [ ] Verify studio loads
-- [ ] Check CreateCardView for custom question types
-
-### 8.2 Build Verification
-- [ ] Run full monorepo build: `yarn build`
-- [ ] Verify no errors
-- [ ] Check both library outputs exist:
-  - `packages/standalone-ui/dist-lib/questions.mjs`
-  - `packages/sk-contributor/dist-lib/questions.mjs`
-
-### 8.3 CI Verification
-- [ ] Push branch
-- [ ] Monitor CI run for `ci-pkg-cli.yml`
-- [ ] Check all tests pass
-- [ ] Review any failures and iterate
-
-### 8.4 Documentation
-- [ ] Create summary of changes in `agent/a.4.completion.md`
-- [ ] Note any deviations from plan
-- [ ] List any discovered issues or future work
-- [ ] Update BACKPORT_CHECKLIST.md status if needed
-
-## Notes
-
-- **Phase 7 (Studio CI)** is marked optional - can be deferred to separate PR if complex
-- Test locally before pushing to CI
-- Keep commits atomic per phase for easier rollback
-- Monitor console output for warnings about missing view names
-- If studio tests prove too complex, document as future work
