Replace all in-scope axios callsites with a new helpers/http.js wrapper over native fetch, including JSON/text GET, JSON POST, HEAD checks, and transient 5xx retry behavior; update all browser, build, script, and proxy API clients to use it; add focused unit tests; and remove axios from package dependencies.
Constraint: Preserve API/build and deployment behavior while lowering transport surface area.
Rejected: inline fetch replacements at each callsite | rejected to avoid inconsistent error/retry semantics.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep helper in place as the transport boundary and update tests when changing request semantics.
Tested: pnpm run -s typecheck, pnpm -s run test-prebuild, pnpm -s run test, pnpm -s run test:browser, pnpm -s run netlify-build, smoke GETs on /apple-silicon-app-test and /apple-silicon-app-test/?version=2
Not-tested: branch/netlify deployment health in CI pipeline after merge
Add a typed Playwright harness for Pagefind and the Apple Silicon app-test flow so scanner work has browser-level protection. Keep the rollout plan in the same stack so the TypeScript conversion stays staged and reviewable.
Constraint: Must not change production runtime behavior in this commit
Rejected: Leave the old JS browser test and add a second harness | duplicates setup and leaves the targeted browser script broken
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep browser-only helpers under test/playwright/support until the runtime scanner surface is fully typed
Tested: pnpm run typecheck; pnpm run test:browser; pnpm run test:browser:pagefind
Not-tested: Live browser checks against doesitarm.com
Cover the Native Support filter with a Playwright-backed Vitest case
that can boot the local dev server or attach to a deployed URL so the
same regression can gate post-deploy verification.
Add Pagefind indexing and browser search adapters behind a provider switch.
This lets prebuild generate either Stork or Pagefind search artifacts and lets the existing search UI run against Pagefind while preserving scoped filters, excerpts, and result metadata.
Align local version markers and GitHub Actions with Node 24, switch the default test entrypoint to the maintained Vitest runner, and replace pnpm-incompatible npm helpers in repo scripts.
This also removes the obsolete AVA plus esm path and excludes disabled test fixtures from generic Vitest discovery so CI reflects the supported test surface.
