 ### Key Technologies
 
 - **Backend**: Rust with Axum framework, SQLite with SQLx, WebSockets for real-time sync
-- **Frontend**: TypeScript, Webpack for bundling, Jest for testing
+- **Frontend**: TypeScript, Webpack for bundling, Node.js native test runner
 - **Sync Algorithm**: Uses reconcile-text library for operational transformation
 
+### Architectural Patterns
+
+**Server Architecture:**
+
+- `AppState`: Central state container holding `Database`, `Cursors`, and `Broadcasts`
+- `Database`: SQLite-backed document versioning with SQLx for compile-time query verification
+- `Broadcasts`: WebSocket broadcast system for real-time updates to connected clients
+- `Cursors`: Tracks user cursor positions across documents with background cleanup task
+
+**Client Architecture:**
+
+- `SyncClient`: Main entry point, orchestrates all sync operations
+- `SyncService`: HTTP API client for CRUD operations on documents
+- `WebSocketManager`: Manages WebSocket connection and real-time updates
+- `Syncer`: Coordinates file synchronization between local filesystem and server
+- `CursorTracker`: Manages local and remote cursor positions
+- `Database`: Client-side document metadata cache
+- `FileOperations`: Abstraction layer for filesystem operations
+
+**Dual-Bundle Strategy:**
+The sync-client builds two separate bundles:
+
+- `sync-client.web.js`: Browser-compatible UMD bundle (excludes `ws` package)
+- `sync-client.node.js`: Node.js CommonJS bundle with WebSocket support
+
 ## Development Commands
 
-### Server Development
+This project uses [Taskfile](https://taskfile.dev/) for task automation. Run `task --list` to see all available tasks.
+
+### Initial Setup
+
+**Taskfile:**
+
+```bash
+# Install Task (https://taskfile.dev/installation/)
+# macOS
+brew install go-task
+
+# Linux
+sh -c "$(curl --location https://taskfile.dev/install.sh)" -- -d -b ~/.local/bin
+
+# Or via npm
+npm install -g @go-task/cli
+```
+
+**Node.js (requires version 25):**
+
+```bash
+curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.1/install.sh | bash
+nvm install 25
+nvm use 25
+nvm alias default 25  # Optional: set as system default
+```
+
+**Rust:**
+
+```bash
+curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
+curl https://rustwasm.github.io/wasm-pack/installer/init.sh -sSf | sh
+cargo install sqlx-cli cargo-machete cargo-edit cargo-insta
+```
+
+**Frontend:**
+
+```bash
+task frontend:install
+```
+
+### Common Tasks (Taskfile)
+
+```bash
+task check           # Full CI check (lint, test, format). Run before pushing.
+task check:fix       # Same as above but auto-fixes issues
+task e2e -- 8        # E2E tests with 8 concurrent clients
+task clean           # Clean logs and database files
+task update-api-types  # Update TypeScript bindings from Rust types
+task release:bump -- patch  # Bump version (patch|minor|major)
+```
+
+### Server Tasks
+
+```bash
+task rust:run        # Start development server
+task rust:test       # Run all Rust tests
+task rust:clippy     # Lint Rust code
+task rust:clippy-fix # Auto-fix clippy warnings
+task rust:fmt        # Format Rust code
+task rust:fmt-check  # Check Rust formatting
+task rust:machete    # Detect unused dependencies
+```
+
+### Frontend Tasks
+
+```bash
+task frontend:dev    # Start development mode
+task frontend:build  # Build all workspaces
+task frontend:test   # Run all frontend tests
+task frontend:lint   # Lint and format TypeScript
+```
+
+### Database Tasks
+
+```bash
+task db:setup        # Create and migrate database
+task db:reset        # Reset database (delete and recreate)
+task db:prepare      # Prepare SQLx offline data
+task db:add-migration NAME=<migration_name>  # Add new migration
+```
+
+### Documentation Tasks
+
+```bash
+task docs:check      # Build and check documentation
+task docs:dev        # Start documentation dev server
+```
+
+### Direct Commands (Alternative)
+
+If you prefer not to use Taskfile, these commands work directly:
+
+**Server:**
+
 ```bash
 cd sync-server
 cargo run config-e2e.yml  # Start development server
-cargo test --verbose      # Run Rust tests
+cargo test --verbose      # Run all Rust tests
-cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features  # Lint Rust code
+cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features  # Lint
-cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features --fix --allow-dirty --allow-staged  # Auto-fix clippy warnings
+cargo fmt --all           # Format
-cargo fmt --all -- --check  # Check Rust formatting
-cargo fmt --all            # Auto-format Rust code
-cargo machete --with-metadata  # Detect unused dependencies
 ```
 
-### Frontend Development
+**Frontend:**
+
 ```bash
 cd frontend
-npm run dev      # Start development mode (watches sync-client and obsidian-plugin)
+npm run dev      # Development mode
 npm run build    # Build all workspaces
-npm run test     # Run all tests
+npm run test     # Run tests
-npm run lint     # Lint and format TypeScript code
+npm run lint     # Lint and format
 ```
 
-### Database Setup (Development)
+**Database:**
+
 ```bash
 cd sync-server
 sqlx database create --database-url sqlite://db.sqlite3
 sqlx migrate run --source src/app_state/database/migrations --database-url sqlite://db.sqlite3
-cargo sqlx prepare --workspace
 ```
 
-### Initial Setup
-```bash
-# Install required cargo tools
-cargo install sqlx-cli cargo-machete cargo-edit
-```
-
-### Scripts
-- `scripts/check.sh`: Full CI check (builds, lints, tests both server and frontend)
-- `scripts/check.sh --fix`: Same as above but auto-fixes linting and formatting issues
-- `scripts/e2e.sh`: End-to-end testing
-- `scripts/clean-up.sh`: Clean logs and database files
-- `scripts/bump-version.sh patch`: Publish new version
-- `scripts/update-api-types.sh`: Update TypeScript bindings from Rust types
-
 ## Code Structure
 
 ### Workspace Configuration
+
 The frontend uses npm workspaces with four packages:
-- `sync-client`: Core synchronization logic
+
+- `sync-client`: Core synchronization logic (builds dual bundles for web and Node.js)
 - `obsidian-plugin`: Obsidian-specific integration
-- `test-client`: Testing utilities
+- `test-client`: Testing utilities for E2E tests
 - `local-client-cli`: Standalone CLI for VaultLink sync client
 
-### Type Generation
+### Type Generation and API Updates
-Rust structs generate TypeScript types via ts-rs crate, stored in `sync-server/bindings/` and used by frontend packages.
 
-### Key Files
+Rust structs generate TypeScript types via ts-rs crate:
-- `sync-server/src/`: Rust server implementation with WebSocket handlers
+
-- `frontend/sync-client/src/sync-client.ts`: Main sync client entry point
+1. Rust structs annotated with `#[derive(TS)]` export to `sync-server/bindings/`
-- `frontend/obsidian-plugin/src/vault-link-plugin.ts`: Main Obsidian plugin class
+2. Run `task update-api-types` to copy bindings to `frontend/sync-client/src/services/types/`
-- `frontend/sync-client/src/services/sync-service.ts`: Core synchronization logic
+3. Frontend imports these types for type-safe API communication
+
+### Important Implementation Details
+
+**SQLx Compile-Time Verification:**
+
+- SQLx verifies SQL queries at compile time against the database schema
+- Run `cargo sqlx prepare --workspace` after schema changes to update `.sqlx/` directory
+- CI builds require prepared query metadata to avoid needing a live database
 
 ## Testing
 
 ### Running Tests
-- Server: `cargo test --verbose`
+
-- Frontend: `npm run test` (runs Jest across all workspaces)
+```bash
-- E2E: `scripts/e2e.sh`
+task rust:test         # All Rust tests
+task frontend:test     # All frontend tests
+task e2e -- 8          # E2E with 8 concurrent clients
+task clean             # Clean up after tests
+```
+
+Or use direct commands:
+
+```bash
+cd sync-server && cargo test --verbose    # Rust tests
+cd frontend && npm run test               # Frontend tests
+```
 
 ### Test Structure
-- Rust: Unit tests alongside source files
-- TypeScript: `.test.ts` files using Jest
-- E2E: Uses test-client to simulate multiple concurrent users
 
-## Code Style
+- **Rust**: Unit tests alongside source files, uses `cargo-insta` for snapshot testing
+- **TypeScript**: `.test.ts` files using Node.js native test runner (not Jest)
+- **E2E**: Uses `test-client` to simulate multiple concurrent users with random operations
+
+## Code Style and Formatting
 
 ### Rust
-- Uses extensive Clippy lints (see Cargo.toml)
+
-- Follows pedantic linting rules
+- Extensive Clippy lints (see `Cargo.toml`)
+- Pedantic linting rules enabled
 - Forbids unsafe code
-- Uses cargo fmt with default settings
+- Uses `rustfmt.toml` for formatting configuration (4 spaces, Unix line endings)
+- Run `cargo fmt --all` to format
 
 ### TypeScript
-- Prettier configuration: 4-space tabs, trailing commas removed, LF line endings
+
-- ESLint with unused imports plugin
+- **Prettier**: 4-space indentation, no trailing commas, LF line endings
-- Consistent across all three frontend packages
+- **YAML/Markdown override**: 2-space indentation (via prettier config)
+- **ESLint**: Strict rules with unused imports detection
+- Configuration in `frontend/package.json`
+- Run `npm run lint` to format and fix issues
+
+### EditorConfig
+
+- `.editorconfig` at project root defines baseline formatting rules
+- `rustfmt.toml` and Prettier config explicitly mirror these settings
+- Both formatters enforce: 4-space indent (2 for YAML/MD), LF endings, final newline, trim trailing whitespace
