Fixes #373

packages/devtools/src/devframe.ts drops from 3,235 lines to 772. The devframe server's setup moves into per-area modules next to it. This is a pure move.

Modules

File Lines What it holds
devframe-registrars.ts 127 The register and agent registrars: config gating, library gate, tier, tags, lease
devframe-pages.ts 399 Page registry, highlights and page directory
devframe-components.ts 576 Component tree, change detection, edits, defer loads, screenshots, pick mode
devframe-signals.ts 230 Signal graph and watch-signal
devframe-injectors.ts 201 Injector tree and provider values
devframe-ngrx.ts 369 NgRx state, actions and tools
devframe-forms.ts 284 Forms state, pushes and actions
devframe-pipes.ts 112 Pipe usage, recording, pipe-lint
devframe-capacitor.ts 72 Capacitor state
devframe-inspectors.ts 194 Self-registering inspectors (errors, perf, build, leaks, startup, Ionic, plugins, Redux, TanStack)
devframe-router.ts 390 Router state, navigation stream, actions and reads
devframe-http.ts 287 HTTP and payload states, SSR recording, rules and overrides
devframe-resources.ts 154 Live agent resources and the per-page resource source

devframe.ts keeps the wiring, the expiry sweep and the hub tools.

Nothing changed for callers

  • A throwaway test dumped everything createPangular({}) registers, in order: 98 tools with descriptions, schemas, safety tiers and tags, 7 resources, 162 RPC functions and 26 shared states. The dump from this branch is byte-identical to the one from the original file.
  • Registration order is kept, because devframe builds its cacheable-function and serializable-method lists from it.
  • Public exports and import paths of devframe.ts are unchanged.
  • config.ts is untouched.
  • lint-baseline.json drops the devframe.ts entry. Its one existing no-useless-spread warning moves to devframe-components.ts with the code it belongs to.

Docs

These pages and skills now name the devframe-*.ts modules:

  • contributing/development.md
  • contributing/writing-docs.md
  • docs/CONTEXT.md
  • the devtools-docs and devtools-inspector skills

Checks

  • pnpm typecheck, pnpm format:check, pnpm docs:build, pnpm skills:check, pnpm commit:check: passed
  • pnpm lint: no new warnings
  • pnpm test:devtools: 4,469 passed, 4 skipped

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated development and contribution guidance to clarify how inspector features, RPC actions, and agent tools are organized.
  • Improvements
    • DevTools inspectors now support page-specific reports, state, and requests across components, forms, HTTP, routing, signals, and other inspection areas.
    • Inspector actions verify page ownership and respect relevant configuration settings.
    • Page registries and inspector resources provide shared and page-specific inspection data.

Move the devframe server's setup out of devframe.ts (3,235 lines) into
focused modules: the registrars, the page registry, one module per
inspector area (components, signals, injectors, ngrx, forms, pipes,
capacitor, router, http), the self-registering inspectors and the live
resources. devframe.ts keeps the wiring, the expiry sweep and the hub
tools, at 772 lines.

Pure move: tool, resource and RPC names, descriptions, schemas,
registration order and shared states are unchanged. Public exports of
devframe.ts stay where they were. The contributing docs and skills name
the new modules.

Walkthrough

The change extracts Devframe page management and inspector registration into area-specific modules. These modules add inspector state, RPC handlers, agent tools, and resources. Documentation describes the module layout, and the lint baseline refers to the extracted component module.

Changes: Devframe module refactor

Layer / File(s) Summary
Registration contracts and inspector setup
packages/devtools/src/devframe-env.ts, packages/devtools/src/devframe-registrars.ts, packages/devtools/src/devframe-inspectors.ts, .claude/skills/*, apps/docs/src/content/contributing/*, docs/CONTEXT.md, lint-baseline.json
Adds shared registration types and RPC and agent registrar functions. Inspector setup conditionally registers inspector modules. Documentation describes the area-specific module layout, and the lint baseline changes its key to devframe-components.ts.
Page ownership and directory
packages/devtools/src/devframe-pages.ts
Adds page registry and highlight handlers, plus a directory that combines inspector reports with page URLs, titles, platform, Angular version, and heartbeat data.
Component state and RPCs
packages/devtools/src/devframe-components.ts
Adds component report and change-detection handling, component edit and value requests, deferred loads, screenshots, pick interactions, and component tool helpers.
Forms and HTTP inspection
packages/devtools/src/devframe-forms.ts, packages/devtools/src/devframe-http.ts
Adds forms report and action handling, lint and explanation queries, and HTTP call and payload tracking, SSR handling, rules, and agent tools.
Router state and requests
packages/devtools/src/devframe-router.ts
Adds router report and navigation state, routed action requests, app-scoped queries, route previews, navigation diffs and exports, and history clearing.
Signals and NgRx inspection
packages/devtools/src/devframe-signals.ts, packages/devtools/src/devframe-ngrx.ts
Adds signal graph and NgRx report handling, request routing, state management, and associated signal-watch, history, inspection, and dispatch tools.
Injector, Capacitor, and Pipes inspection
packages/devtools/src/devframe-injectors.ts, packages/devtools/src/devframe-capacitor.ts, packages/devtools/src/devframe-pipes.ts
Adds inspector state, report and page-cleanup handling, plus provider-value, injector-refresh, pipe-recording, and pipe-lint requests.
Live resources
packages/devtools/src/devframe-resources.ts
Adds JSON resources for inspector state and page-scoped resource templates. Accessing a page-scoped template touches page interest.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "refactor(mcp): split devframe.ts into per-area modules" matches the main change. The PR moves devframe server setup out of packages/devtools/src/devframe.ts into per-area modules such as devframe-capacitor.ts, devframe-components.ts, devframe-forms.ts, and devframe-router.ts. The summaries show no MCP-specific change, so the "mcp" scope is the only loose part of the title. The title is clear and specific, and a teammate scanning history would understand the primary change.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changed files connect to the devframe.ts split that #373 requests. The new packages/devtools/src/devframe-*.ts modules hold setup moved from devframe.ts, such as registrars, pages, components, signals, injectors, NgRx, forms, pipes, Capacitor, inspectors, router, HTTP and resources. lint-baseline.json drops the devframe.ts entry and moves its unicorn(no-useless-spread) entry to devframe-components.ts, which follows the move. The docs and skill files (apps/docs development and writing-docs pages, docs/CONTEXT.md, .claude/skills/devtools-docs/SKILL.md, .claude/skills/devtools-inspector/SKILL.md) only update references to the new module layout. The PR description states that config.ts is unchanged, and the baseline still lists config.ts, which matches that statement. No changed file was found that is unrelated to the split. The identical registration-dump claim was not re-verified in this assessment. The Cloudflare build comment is not a code change and does not affect scope.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Directly linked issue #373 is open. Its open coding item is "Medium: very large files (split devframe.ts and panel pages, line-count CI check)". The PR meets the devframe.ts part. At head, packages/devtools/src/devframe.ts has no pangular(max-lines) entry in lint-baseline.json. Its setup moves into packages/devtools/src/devframe-*.ts modules. The panel-page part is not met. The whole-PR diff of lint-baseline.json changes only the devframe.ts entry. The head still lists pangular(max-lines) for app/src/app.ts (1980) and for app/src/pages/ files analog-inspector.ts (2743), component-tree.ts (2982), di-inspector.ts (2742), pipes-inspector.ts (1606), signal-inspector.ts (2514) and store-inspector.ts (2870). The PR changes no file under app/. The line-count CI check is not added. The PR description does not mention panel pages or a CI check. The PR uses "Fixes #373", which closes the issue while this open item remains. Whether an existing CI step runs the max-lines ratchet was not verified. That does not change the result, because no new check is added.

Resolution

Choose one path. (a) Split the panel page files listed above under app/src/pages/, and split app/src/app.ts if it is in scope for the item. Add or confirm a CI step that enforces the line-count limit. Then keep "Fixes #373". (b) Change the PR reference from "Fixes #373" to a non-closing reference such as "Refs #373", and narrow #373 so its open item covers only the panel-page split and the line-count CI check.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 50.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 8 functions across 14 files. (3 skipped: 3 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

"Workers Builds: angular-devtools" is the Cloudflare preview build. It fails on every pull request in this repository, including docs-only ones, so this PR didn't cause it. It isn't one of the repository's GitHub Actions checks, and I can't re-run it from here. No fix exists yet. The project's own checks are the ones this PR is judged on.

- Line 35: Update the agent-tool location guidance to allow tools in either the
corresponding devframe area module or a separate devframe-*-tools.ts module,
while preserving the shared env-object typing guidance. Keep the other setup,
registry, registrar, and lint-ratchet guidance unchanged.

Review comments at @apps/docs/src/content/contributing/development.md:
- Line 67: Reword the `src/devframe-*.ts` description so it does not imply every
module maps to one area or contains state, RPC functions, and agent tools.
Accurately describe the shared types, registrars, page registry, and
area-specific state, RPC functions, and agent tools.

Not every devframe-*.ts module is an area module, and some areas keep
their agent tools in the area module rather than a -tools module.
