Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Session workspace file management: create, read, update (append/replace), delete, and list files.
    • In-page sandboxed web apps: render full-screen apps, capture form data, view/remove rendered app code, and re-render from results.
  • Improvements
    • Agents (Search, Research, Content Writer, Web Task, Action) coordinate via persistent session files; orchestrator exposes these tools and recommends reading/appending artifacts.
  • Tests
    • Added unit and integration tests covering new file tools, storage manager, and webapp code viewer.

PR Review - Web Asset Rendering and Virtual File System

Reviewing the pull request for code quality, bugs, performance, security, and test coverage.

Todo List:

  • Read repository guidelines (CLAUDE.md)
  • Analyze new virtual file system implementation
  • Review new tools for file management
  • Check web app rendering functionality
  • Assess security implications
  • Evaluate performance considerations
  • Check error handling patterns
  • Review code quality and best practices
  • Assess test coverage

Overall Assessment

This PR adds a comprehensive virtual file system and web application rendering capabilities to the AI chat interface. The implementation includes 8 new tools and updates to several agents. Here's my detailed review:

✅ Strengths

1. Clean Architecture & Design

  • Well-structured modular design with clear separation of concerns
  • Proper TypeScript interfaces and error handling throughout
  • Consistent logging patterns using the existing logger infrastructure
  • Good abstraction with the FileStorageManager singleton pattern

2. Robust Error Handling

  • Comprehensive validation in FileStorageManager.validateFileName()
  • Proper IndexedDB error handling with fallback mechanisms
  • Try-catch blocks with detailed logging in all tools
  • Graceful degradation when features aren't available

3. Security Considerations

  • File system is properly scoped to DevTools sessions (prevents cross-session access)
  • Input validation prevents path traversal attacks (no / or \ in filenames)
  • Web app rendering uses sandboxed iframes with srcdoc (safer than src)
  • Proper content escaping with JSON.stringify() in dynamically generated code

⚠️ Areas for Improvement

1. Security Concerns

  • iframe z-index Override: RenderWebAppTool.ts:106 sets zIndex: '999999' which could interfere with DevTools UI
  • JavaScript Injection: RenderWebAppTool.ts:164-170 allows arbitrary JS execution in iframes. While sandboxed, this could be misused
  • No CSP Headers: Generated HTML lacks Content Security Policy headers for additional protection

2. Performance Issues

  • Polling Implementation: GetWebAppDataTool.ts:75-110 polls every 500ms for form submission. Consider using event listeners instead
  • No Size Limits: FileStorageManager lacks file size or total storage limits, could exhaust browser storage
  • Synchronous Operations: Heavy IndexedDB operations could block UI thread

3. Code Quality Issues

  • Large Generated Code: RenderWebAppTool.ts:87-186 contains extensive inline JavaScript that should be extracted to separate modules
  • Hardcoded Values: Magic numbers like timeout defaults (30000ms) should be constants
  • Missing Null Checks: GetWebAppDataTool.ts:96 assumes checkData.found without null checking

🐛 Potential Bugs

1. Race Conditions

// FileStorageManager.ts:71-73 - Race condition possible
if (await this.fileExists(fileName)) {
  throw new Error(`File "${fileName}" already exists in the current session.`);
}
// Another operation could create the file between check and creation

2. Memory Leaks

  • RenderWebAppTool creates iframe elements but doesn't provide cleanup mechanism
  • Event listeners added to forms/buttons in generated JS aren't cleaned up

3. Error Recovery

  • FileStorageManager.ts:202-209 - Failed database initialization leaves dbInitializationPromise as null but doesn't retry

🧪 Test Coverage

Major Gap: No unit tests found for any of the new tools. This is concerning given the complexity of:

  • IndexedDB operations with transaction handling
  • Dynamic iframe creation and JavaScript injection
  • File validation and error scenarios
  • Agent integration with new tool capabilities

Recommendation: Add comprehensive test coverage for:

  • FileStorageManager database operations and edge cases
  • Web app rendering and data retrieval workflows
  • Error handling scenarios and validation logic

🔧 Specific Recommendations

1. Add Resource Limits

// FileStorageManager.ts - Add size constraints
private static readonly MAX_FILE_SIZE = 10 * 1024 * 1024; // 10MB
private static readonly MAX_TOTAL_SIZE = 100 * 1024 * 1024; // 100MB

2. Improve Polling Mechanism

// Replace polling with event-driven approach
const observer = new MutationObserver(checkForSubmission);
observer.observe(iframeDoc.body, { attributes: true });

3. Extract Inline JavaScript
Move the large JavaScript template in RenderWebAppTool.ts:87-186 to a separate module/template file.

4. Add Cleanup Methods

// Add to RenderWebAppTool
async cleanup(webappId: string): Promise<void> {
  // Remove iframe and clean up resources
}

📊 Performance Recommendations

  • Implement debouncing for file operations
  • Add IndexedDB transaction batching for multiple operations
  • Consider using Web Workers for heavy file processing
  • Add progress indicators for long-running operations

🛡️ Security Enhancements

  • Add Content Security Policy to generated HTML
  • Implement iframe communication via postMessage instead of direct DOM access
  • Add rate limiting for file operations
  • Sanitize user-provided content more rigorously

📋 Summary

This is a well-architected addition that significantly expands the system's capabilities. The code quality is generally good with proper TypeScript usage and error handling. However, the lack of tests is a significant concern, and there are several security and performance optimizations that should be addressed.

Recommendation: Approve with requirements to add tests and address the security concerns before merging.

124-131: Fix literal interpolation in error message.

The returned error string still contains the literal ${webappId} instead of the actual ID, because it’s wrapped in single quotes inside the evaluated script. Concatenate the value explicitly so callers see the real iframe ID.

             if (!iframe) {
               return {
                 success: false,
-                error: 'Webapp iframe not found with ID: ${webappId}'

318-326: Document webapp tools in SEARCH agent prompt.

The SEARCH agent configuration adds RenderWebAppTool, GetWebAppDataTool, and RemoveWebAppTool to the available tools, but the SEARCH system prompt (lines 55-64) does not mention these tools or provide guidance on when to use them. This could lead to the agent not utilizing these capabilities effectively.

Consider adding a section to the SEARCH system prompt explaining the webapp rendering capabilities:

 - Use the file management tools ('create_file', 'update_file', 'read_file', 'list_files') to coordinate multi-step fact-finding. Persist subtask outputs as you go, read existing files before launching overlapping searches, and append incremental findings rather than duplicating effort.
+- Use webapp rendering tools ('render_webapp', 'get_webapp_data', 'remove_webapp') when you need to collect structured input from users through forms or interactive interfaces (e.g., collecting email addresses, gathering survey responses, requesting additional search parameters).
 - If the user pivots into broad synthesis or long-form reporting, switch to the 'research_agent'.

342-349: Document webapp tools in DEEP_RESEARCH agent prompt.

Similar to the SEARCH agent, the DEEP_RESEARCH configuration adds webapp tools but the system prompt (lines 66-202) does not document their purpose or usage scenarios. The detailed file coordination instructions (lines 130-135) provide good guidance for file tools, but webapp tools are entirely undocumented.

Add guidance for webapp tools to the DEEP_RESEARCH prompt, for example after the file coordination section:

 - Use file summaries to track progress, surface blockers, and keep an audit trail for the final synthesis.
 
+**Collect structured user input when needed:**

3506-3523: Verify whether new tools should be added to getTools() function.

The new webapp and file management tools are exported from the module but do not appear to be added to the getTools() function (lines 3447-3502). This function is documented as "Returns all available tools" and is likely used by other parts of the codebase to discover tools.

Should these new tools be added to the getTools() function, or are they intentionally omitted (e.g., because they're only meant to be used by specific agents that instantiate them directly)?

Also, the comment on line 3507 says "Export HTML injection tools" but these tools render full webapps in iframes rather than injecting HTML. Consider updating to:

-// Export HTML injection tools
+// Export webapp rendering tools
front_end/panels/ai_chat/agent_framework/implementation/agents/ContentWriterAgent.ts (1)

28-33: Strengthen coordination guidance with canonical filename + JSONL append

Add a short note recommending a canonical coordination filename (e.g., content_writer/<objective_slug>.jsonl) and JSON Lines with update_file append:true to avoid collisions and enable incremental, auditable appends.

front_end/panels/ai_chat/tools/UpdateFileTool.ts (2)

29-50: Add JSON Schema default for append to guide callers

Set a default for append to reduce malformed calls and make intent explicit.

       append: {
         type: 'boolean',
-        description: 'Whether to append the content instead of replacing it (default: false)'
+        description: 'Whether to append the content instead of replacing it',
+        default: false
       },

52-71: Return fileName (and size) for parity with create/read tools

Include fileName (and size) so downstream steps can chain without re-reading.

-      return {
-        success: true,
-        fileId: file.id,
-        message: `${action} file "${file.fileName}" (${file.size} bytes).`
-      };
+      return {
+        success: true,
+        fileId: file.id,
+        fileName: file.fileName,
+        size: file.size,
+        message: `${action} file "${file.fileName}" (${file.size} bytes).`
+      };
front_end/panels/ai_chat/agent_framework/implementation/agents/SearchAgent.ts (1)

26-26: Standardize coordination file pattern + JSONL append

Recommend documenting a canonical coordination filename (e.g., search/<objective_slug>.jsonl) and JSON Lines entries with timestamps. Always use update_file append:true to avoid overwrites and enable multi-agent audit trails.

Also applies to: 36-36, 63-63

front_end/panels/ai_chat/tools/ListFilesTool.ts (2)

26-35: Drop required reasoning (unused) to reduce call friction

execute() doesn’t use reasoning. Make it optional to avoid unnecessary tool call failures.

   schema = {
     type: 'object',
     properties: {
       reasoning: {
         type: 'string',
         description: 'Explanation for why the file list is needed'
       }
     },
-    required: ['reasoning']
+    // reasoning is optional; left for traceability if the caller provides it
   };

41-47: Consider adding totalSize to the result

Summing files[i].size provides a quick overview without another pass. Optional DX improvement.

-      return {
-        success: true,
-        files,
-        count: files.length
-      };
+      const totalSize = files.reduce((n, f) => n + (f.size || 0), 0);
+      return { success: true, files, count: files.length, totalSize };

207-214: Verify tool registration and permissions for new tool names

Ensure these tool names are registered in the tool factory/registry and granted to this agent; otherwise runtime tool-call failures will occur.

front_end/panels/ai_chat/agent_framework/implementation/agents/ActionAgent.ts (1)

94-101: New Action Agent tools are registered and available. All tool names in createActionAgentConfig match implementations in front_end/panels/ai_chat/tools.

front_end/panels/ai_chat/agent_framework/implementation/ConfiguredAgents.ts (1)

11-61: Tool registrations look solid.

Thanks for wiring the new file + webapp tools straight into the registry; this keeps agent capability surfaces in sync with the prompt updates.

front_end/panels/ai_chat/core/BaseOrchestratorAgent.ts (1)

535-539: Verify intentional omission of webapp tools from default toolset.

The default toolset in getAgentTools includes the new file management tools but omits the webapp tools (RenderWebAppTool, GetWebAppDataTool, RemoveWebAppTool), while the specific SEARCH and DEEP_RESEARCH agent configurations include both sets of tools (lines 318-326, 342-349).

Is this intentional, or should the default toolset also include webapp tools for consistency? If webapp functionality is only meant for specific agent types, consider documenting this design decision.

front_end/panels/ai_chat/BUILD.gn (1)

94-104: LGTM!

The new tool source files are correctly added to the build manifest in both the devtools_module sources list and the _ai_chat_sources list. The additions are consistent and properly formatted.

front_end/panels/ai_chat/agent_framework/implementation/agents/SearchAgent.ts (1)

135-141: Verify tool availability across exports and registrations

Double-check that these tools are exported and registered so the agent can invoke them.

Run:

front_end/panels/ai_chat/agent_framework/implementation/agents/ContentWriterAgent.ts (1)

58-64: Confirm exports and runtime registration for file tools
All five tools (read_file, list_files, create_file, update_file, delete_file) are properly exported in Tools.ts; double-check your orchestrator or agent configuration includes them in its tools list so they resolve at runtime.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Checkbox aggregation returns corrupt data.

When multiple checkboxes share a name, the current logic seeds the entry with false for unchecked boxes, so a later checked box produces arrays like [false, 'option']. Callers then see bogus false members instead of just the checked values. Please only store checked values and add an explicit false when none were selected.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Add the missing iframe sandbox to enforce isolation.

The tool promises a sandboxed iframe, but we never set the sandbox attribute. As written, the generated iframe inherits the parent’s origin, so untrusted webapp code can reach back into DevTools (window.parent, DOM mutation, navigation), defeating the isolation guarantee. Please set an explicit sandbox policy (while still allowing scripts/forms so downstream tools keep working).

the iframe is created without a sandbox attribute which breaks the promised
isolation; add an explicit sandbox policy that still permits scripts and forms
but blocks access to the parent/origin by setting iframe.setAttribute('sandbox',
'allow-scripts allow-forms'); place this immediately after creating the iframe
(before setting srcdoc and appending to document.body).

PR Review - Web Asset Rendering and Virtual File System

Reviewing the pull request for code quality, bugs, performance, security, and test coverage.

Todo List:

  • Read repository guidelines (CLAUDE.md)
  • Analyze new virtual file system implementation
  • Review new tools for file management
  • Check web app rendering functionality
  • Assess security implications
  • Evaluate performance considerations
  • Check error handling patterns
  • Review code quality and best practices
  • Assess test coverage

Overall Assessment

This PR adds a comprehensive virtual file system and web application rendering capabilities to the AI chat interface. The implementation includes 8 new tools and updates to several agents. Here's my detailed review:

✅ Strengths

1. Clean Architecture & Design

  • Well-structured modular design with clear separation of concerns
  • Proper TypeScript interfaces and error handling throughout
  • Consistent logging patterns using the existing logger infrastructure
  • Good abstraction with the FileStorageManager singleton pattern

2. Robust Error Handling

  • Comprehensive validation in FileStorageManager.validateFileName()
  • Proper IndexedDB error handling with fallback mechanisms
  • Try-catch blocks with detailed logging in all tools
  • Graceful degradation when features aren't available

3. Security Considerations

  • File system is properly scoped to DevTools sessions (prevents cross-session access)
  • Input validation prevents path traversal attacks (no / or \ in filenames)
  • Web app rendering uses sandboxed iframes with srcdoc (safer than src)
  • Proper content escaping with JSON.stringify() in dynamically generated code

⚠️ Areas for Improvement

1. Security Concerns

  • iframe z-index Override: RenderWebAppTool.ts:106 sets zIndex: '999999' which could interfere with DevTools UI
  • JavaScript Injection: RenderWebAppTool.ts:164-170 allows arbitrary JS execution in iframes. While sandboxed, this could be misused
  • No CSP Headers: Generated HTML lacks Content Security Policy headers for additional protection

2. Performance Issues

  • Polling Implementation: GetWebAppDataTool.ts:75-110 polls every 500ms for form submission. Consider using event listeners instead
  • No Size Limits: FileStorageManager lacks file size or total storage limits, could exhaust browser storage
  • Synchronous Operations: Heavy IndexedDB operations could block UI thread

3. Code Quality Issues

  • Large Generated Code: RenderWebAppTool.ts:87-186 contains extensive inline JavaScript that should be extracted to separate modules
  • Hardcoded Values: Magic numbers like timeout defaults (30000ms) should be constants
  • Missing Null Checks: GetWebAppDataTool.ts:96 assumes checkData.found without null checking

🐛 Potential Bugs

1. Race Conditions

// FileStorageManager.ts:71-73 - Race condition possible
if (await this.fileExists(fileName)) {
  throw new Error(`File "${fileName}" already exists in the current session.`);
}
// Another operation could create the file between check and creation

2. Memory Leaks

  • RenderWebAppTool creates iframe elements but doesn't provide cleanup mechanism
  • Event listeners added to forms/buttons in generated JS aren't cleaned up

3. Error Recovery

  • FileStorageManager.ts:202-209 - Failed database initialization leaves dbInitializationPromise as null but doesn't retry

🧪 Test Coverage

Major Gap: No unit tests found for any of the new tools. This is concerning given the complexity of:

  • IndexedDB operations with transaction handling
  • Dynamic iframe creation and JavaScript injection
  • File validation and error scenarios
  • Agent integration with new tool capabilities

Recommendation: Add comprehensive test coverage for:

  • FileStorageManager database operations and edge cases
  • Web app rendering and data retrieval workflows
  • Error handling scenarios and validation logic

🔧 Specific Recommendations

1. Add Resource Limits

// FileStorageManager.ts - Add size constraints
private static readonly MAX_FILE_SIZE = 10 * 1024 * 1024; // 10MB
private static readonly MAX_TOTAL_SIZE = 100 * 1024 * 1024; // 100MB

2. Improve Polling Mechanism

// Replace polling with event-driven approach
const observer = new MutationObserver(checkForSubmission);
observer.observe(iframeDoc.body, { attributes: true });

3. Extract Inline JavaScript
Move the large JavaScript template in RenderWebAppTool.ts:87-186 to a separate module/template file.

4. Add Cleanup Methods

// Add to RenderWebAppTool
async cleanup(webappId: string): Promise<void> {
  // Remove iframe and clean up resources
}

📊 Performance Recommendations

  • Implement debouncing for file operations
  • Add IndexedDB transaction batching for multiple operations
  • Consider using Web Workers for heavy file processing
  • Add progress indicators for long-running operations

🛡️ Security Enhancements

  • Add Content Security Policy to generated HTML
  • Implement iframe communication via postMessage instead of direct DOM access
  • Add rate limiting for file operations
  • Sanitize user-provided content more rigorously

📋 Summary

This is a well-architected addition that significantly expands the system's capabilities. The code quality is generally good with proper TypeScript usage and error handling. However, the lack of tests is a significant concern, and there are several security and performance optimizations that should be addressed.

Recommendation: Approve with requirements to add tests and address the security concerns before merging.

🧹 Nitpick comments (5)
front_end/panels/ai_chat/ui/ChatView.ts (3)

1188-1218: Add UX state and minimal arg hygiene for re-render

  • Disable the “Re-render” button while running; re-enable on completion/error.
  • Optionally pass only needed fields (e.g., html/css/js) to avoid leaking extraneous args.
  • Surface user notifications (success/error) instead of only logs.

1176-1186: Avoid direct DOM show/hide; prefer reactive state

Toggling style.display can desync with Lit re-renders. Track expanded state in component state and render conditionally.


580-600: Use shared constant for tool ID Import and use a centralized tool name constant (e.g. RENDER_WEBAPP_TOOL_NAME) from your tools module or registry instead of hard-coding 'render_webapp'.

front_end/panels/ai_chat/ui/ToolResultComponent.ts (1)

18-18: Consider stronger typing for toolCallArgs.

The Record<string, any> type provides minimal type safety. If the structure of tool call arguments is known or can be constrained, consider defining a more specific interface or using a union of known tool argument types.

front_end/panels/ai_chat/ui/__tests__/WebAppCodeViewer.test.ts (1)

10-10: Testing private methods reduces encapsulation.

Multiple tests access private methods using (WebAppCodeViewer as any). Consider either:

  1. Making these methods public if they need testing
  2. Testing only through the public API (show method)
  3. Extracting testable logic into separate helper functions

Testing through the public API is generally preferred as it tests the component's actual contract and is resilient to refactoring.

front_end/panels/ai_chat/tools/__tests__/ReadFileTool.test.ts (1)

28-43: Good coverage and clean stubbing

Covers success, not-found, and error paths; singleton is safely stubbed and restored.

front_end/panels/ai_chat/tools/__tests__/ListFilesTool.test.ts (2)

13-29: LGTM on success path

Asserts returned data and count; verifies single manager call. Clean pattern with restore in afterEach.


31-40: LGTM on error path

Error is propagated as expected; good negative coverage.

front_end/panels/ai_chat/tools/__tests__/UpdateFileTool.test.ts (2)

28-59: Well-covered replace and append paths

Validates message text and correct manager invocation (append flag). Clean test helpers and restore.


61-70: LGTM on failure path

Error propagation asserted correctly.

front_end/panels/ai_chat/tools/__tests__/FileStorageManager.test.ts (1)

8-11: <!-- [scratchpad]
[task review_file_2/2]
[observations]

  • Tests reset singleton via cast on private static.
  • No resetForTesting in FileStorageManager.ts.
  • No “fake-indexeddb” or polyfill import found in tests.
    [analysis]
  • Directly mutating private static is brittle.
  • Tests may fail without an IndexedDB polyfill in Node.
    [pending]
  • Confirm test runner’s IndexedDB support.
    [actions]
  • Add static resetForTesting() to FileStorageManager.
  • Replace cast in beforeEach with FileStorageManager.resetForTesting().
  • Import a polyfill (e.g. fake-indexeddb/auto) in test setup or add to this file.
    ](###hidden)

Add test-only reset API and polyfill IndexedDB in tests
In FileStorageManager.ts add:

// Test-only
static resetForTesting(): void {
  FileStorageManager.instance = null;
}

In your test’s beforeEach replace the cast with:

FileStorageManager.resetForTesting();

And ensure IndexedDB is available in Node (e.g. install and import fake-indexeddb/auto in your Jest setup).

front_end/panels/ai_chat/ui/ToolResultComponent.ts (2)

25-29: Verify if toolCallArgs requires validation.

The method accepts and stores arbitrary toolCallArgs without validation. Ensure that the upstream caller provides sanitized data, especially if these arguments will be re-dispatched via events (as in handleReRender).


112-141: LGTM! Well-structured UI for re-render functionality.

The CSS and conditional rendering logic are well-designed:

  • Proper use of CSS custom properties for theming
  • Hover and active states provide good user feedback
  • stopPropagation correctly prevents triggering the parent's expand/collapse
  • Button includes title attribute for accessibility

Also applies to: 224-240

front_end/panels/ai_chat/ui/__tests__/WebAppCodeViewer.test.ts (2)

7-54: Comprehensive test coverage for escapeHTML.

The test suite thoroughly covers HTML escaping scenarios including edge cases like double-escaping, empty strings, and special character combinations. This is critical for preventing XSS vulnerabilities.


318-357: Integration tests handle environment limitations appropriately.

The tests acknowledge that show() will fail in the test environment and handle errors gracefully. This is acceptable for integration-level tests when full infrastructure isn't available.

front_end/panels/ai_chat/ui/chatView.css (3)

2198-2240: Well-structured styling for integrated tool results.

The CSS creates a cohesive visual language for tool results within the timeline:

  • Proper use of CSS custom properties for theming
  • Status-based border colors provide clear visual feedback
  • Subtle pulse animation for running state is performance-friendly
  • Hover states improve interactivity

2302-2370: Enhanced JSON result presentation with good UX.

The JSON result styling provides:

  • Monospace font for code readability
  • Proper scrolling with max-height constraint
  • Custom scrollbar styling for visual consistency
  • Clear visual separation from surrounding content

2241-2300: Verify WCAG AA contrast for action buttons Ensure .re-render-webapp-button (bg: rgba(var(--sys-color-primary-rgb), 0.1), text: var(--sys-color-primary)) and .webapp-action-btn (bg: rgba(var(--sys-color-tertiary-rgb), 0.1), text: var(--sys-color-tertiary)) meet at least 4.5:1 contrast ratio.

front_end/panels/ai_chat/BUILD.gn (1)

45-45: LGTM! Proper build configuration for new files.

All new source files are correctly added to:

  • devtools_module("ai_chat") sources
  • _ai_chat_sources list for metadata generation
  • ts_library("unittests") for test files

The additions are consistent with the existing file organization and naming conventions.

Loosen stub assertion to avoid brittleness on optional arg

Enforcing a third arg of undefined will fail if the implementation calls with only two args or supplies a default mime type. Match the required args instead.

Apply this diff:

37 to 39, the test currently asserts the third argument is exactly undefined
which is brittle; update the assertion to only match the required args by
removing the strict check for the third parameter — use
sinon.assert.calledWithExactly((fakeManager as any).createFile, 'note.txt',
'hello') or sinon.assert.calledWith((fakeManager as any).createFile, 'note.txt',
'hello') so the test passes whether the implementation omits the third arg or
provides a default mime type.

Verify event listener exists for 're-render-webapp'.

The method dispatches a custom event 're-render-webapp' that bubbles through the component tree. Ensure that a listener for this event exists in a parent component (likely ChatView or similar).

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Inline event handlers and global exposures violate CSP; attach listeners in JS

Inline onclick and window.* globals will be blocked under strict CSP and are harder to maintain. Remove inline handlers and wire events via addEventListener on load.

Apply these diffs to remove inline handlers and add stable hooks:

-      <button class="download-all-btn" onclick="downloadAll(event)">
+      <button class="download-all-btn" id="download-all-btn">
-          <button class="copy-btn" onclick="copyHTML(event)" data-code-type="html">
+          <button class="copy-btn" data-code-type="html">
-          <button class="download-btn" onclick="downloadHTML(event)" data-code-type="html">
+          <button class="download-btn" data-code-type="html">
-          <button class="copy-btn" onclick="copyCSS(event)" data-code-type="css">
+          <button class="copy-btn" data-code-type="css">
-          <button class="download-btn" onclick="downloadCSS(event)" data-code-type="css">
+          <button class="download-btn" data-code-type="css">
-          <button class="copy-btn" onclick="copyJS(event)" data-code-type="js">
+          <button class="copy-btn" data-code-type="js">
-          <button class="download-btn" onclick="downloadJS(event)" data-code-type="js">
+          <button class="download-btn" data-code-type="js">

And replace the global exposures with DOM event wiring (near the end of buildJS output):

-// Expose handlers globally for inline onclick attributes
-// This ensures buttons like onclick="downloadHTML(event)" can resolve.
-window.copyHTML = copyHTML;
-window.copyCSS = copyCSS;
-window.copyJS = copyJS;
-window.downloadHTML = downloadHTML;
-window.downloadCSS = downloadCSS;
-window.downloadJS = downloadJS;
-window.downloadAll = downloadAll;
+// Wire up event listeners once DOM is ready
+document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
+  document.querySelectorAll('.copy-btn').forEach(btn => {
+    btn.addEventListener('click', (event) => {
+      const type = (btn as HTMLElement).getAttribute('data-code-type') || '';
+      const codeEl = document.getElementById(`${type}-code`);
+      const code = codeEl?.textContent || '';
+      copyToClipboard(code, (event.target as HTMLElement)?.closest('.copy-btn'));
+    });
+  });
+  document.querySelectorAll('.download-btn').forEach(btn => {
+    btn.addEventListener('click', (event) => {
+      const type = (btn as HTMLElement).getAttribute('data-code-type') || '';
+      const codeEl = document.getElementById(`${type}-code`);
+      const code = codeEl?.textContent || '';
+      const filename = type === 'html' ? 'index.html' : (type === 'css' ? 'styles.css' : 'script.js');
+      downloadFile(code, filename, (event.target as HTMLElement)?.closest('.download-btn'));
+    });
+  });
+  document.getElementById('download-all-btn')?.addEventListener('click', (event) => {
