## Bite-Sized Implementation Plan Turn this approved design into an implementation plan that a fresh engineer could follow with no other context. - Approved design: [textarea: Paste the design or link its file] - Repository layout: [textarea: Key folders and where tests live] - Language and test runner: [text: Python with pytest or TypeScript with vitest] - Task size: [dropdown: 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes] - Include commit points: [toggle: Yes, No] Read the design and the layout first, then list the files that will be created or changed before writing any task. Each task must be small enough to finish in the chosen time and must leave the tests passing. For every task give: the goal in one sentence, the exact file paths, the function or type signatures to add, the test to write first with its expected failing message, and the command that proves the task is done. Order tasks so each builds on a passing state, with the riskiest assumption proven earliest. When commit points are on, end each task with a one-line commit message. Finish with a short list of things the plan deliberately leaves out.
