Description

Validate the latest 2026-03-20 CodeRabbit review round on PR #19 against the current branch, implement only the confirmed fixes, and record which bot suggestions are stale, incorrect, or incomplete.

Acceptance Criteria

• #1 Each latest-round 2026-03-20 CodeRabbit inline comment on PR #19 is validated against current branch behavior and classified as actionable or not warranted
• #2 Confirmed correctness issues in launcher, Anki integration, and docs are fixed with focused regression coverage where practical
• #3 Targeted verification runs for the touched areas succeed or remaining unrelated failures are documented in task notes

Implementation Plan

1. Pull the 2026-03-20 CodeRabbit review threads from PR #19 and validate each comment against the current branch, separating real issues from stale or incomplete bot guidance.
2. For each confirmed behavior bug, add or extend a focused failing test before changing production code; keep docs-only fixes scoped to the exact markdownlint/install issue.
3. Patch the smallest safe fixes in launcher, README, and Anki integration code, taking care not to overwrite unrelated local edits.
4. Run targeted tests and relevant SubMiner verification lanes for touched files, then record accepted versus rejected review comments in task notes and summary.

Implementation Notes

Validated the 2026-03-20 CodeRabbit PR #19 round as eight actionable items: one launcher test-name mismatch, three launcher behavior/test fixes, two README markdown/install fixes, one dead-code cleanup in Anki integration, and one real known-word cache deck-scoping bug.

Known-word cache review comment was correct in substance but needed a branch-specific fix: preserve deck->field scoping by querying per deck and carrying the allowed field list per note, rather than changing notesInfo shape.

Verification passed for targeted tests plus verifier docs/launcher-plugin lanes. Core verifier failed on unrelated pre-existing typecheck worktree state in src/anki-integration/anki-connect-proxy.test.ts (TS2349 at line 395, releaseProcessing?.()), which is outside this task's touched files.

Final Summary

Assessed the latest 2026-03-20 CodeRabbit review round on PR #19 and applied all eight confirmed action items. Launcher behavior now surfaces non-zero stats-process exits after the startup handshake, rejects cleanup-only stats flags unless cleanup is selected, preserves empty quoted mpv args, and has updated regression coverage for each case. The known-word cache now preserves deck-specific field mappings during refresh by querying configured decks separately and extracting only the fields assigned to each deck; the unused getPreferredWordValue wrapper in src/anki-integration.ts was removed.

Documentation/test hygiene fixes also landed: the README platform badge no longer has an empty link target, Linux AppImage install instructions create ~/.local/bin before downloads, the stats-command timing test was renamed to match actual behavior, and launcher/picker.test.ts now restores XDG_DATA_HOME safely while forcing Linux-path expectations explicitly so the file passes on macOS hosts.

Verification run:

• bun test launcher/commands/command-modules.test.ts
• bun test launcher/parse-args.test.ts
• bun test launcher/mpv.test.ts
• bun test launcher/picker.test.ts
• bun test src/anki-integration/known-word-cache.test.ts

Verifier results:

• docs lane passed (docs:test, docs:build)
• launcher-plugin lane passed (test:launcher:smoke:src, test:plugin:src)
• core/typecheck failed on unrelated existing worktree changes in src/anki-integration/anki-connect-proxy.test.ts(395,5): TS2349 This expression is not callable. Type 'never' has no call signatures.
