TraceBrief → TypeScript port aimed at REA (in progress)

Ports fail when they hide incompleteness. This repo measures the original under REA’s strict TypeScript options, ports modules cleanly, and **byte-compares** behavior — while saying out loud what is still missing.

4/5 — Honest partial port with parity harness

Quality. Ports TraceBrief modules under REA’s exact TS compiler options.

Evidence. parity.mjs byte-compares original vs port on REA fixtures.

Limits. Explicitly incomplete; needs sibling fixtures; no license declared.

For. Contributors aligning TraceBrief with REA Evidence tooling.

What it is. A TypeScript/vitest port of TraceBrief living outside the zero-dependency original so REA’s compiler flags can be satisfied without breaking TraceBrief’s “nothing to install” promise.

Relation to REA. Prepared against morluto/rea tooling conventions (#1142 context). Parity runs on Electron/native REA fixtures when present.

Highlights. Caught real bugs (e.g. readStringPath) via the harness — typechecking alone would have missed them.

Evaluation. Excellent engineering honesty. Not production-complete; read PORTING.md before depending on it.

Compliance

Tooling port for Evidence reports — lawful engineering, not a target exploit.

Takeaways

Parity harnesses beat green typechecks.
Say what is not done.
Keep zero-dep originals intact when porting.
