Michael Czechowski c4df288471 refactor: simplify HTML lessons to use semantic elements only
- Remove presentational classes (.form-group, .required, .hint, .checkbox-group)
- Replace <span class="required">*</span> with plain * in label text
- Replace <div class="hint"> with semantic <small> element
- Simplify checkbox markup to use native label wrapping pattern
- Update previewBaseCSS to style semantic elements directly
- Add code quality standards to CLAUDE.md emphasizing WCAG compliance and native HTML

# CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
## Project Overview
Code Crispies is an interactive CSS/Tailwind learning platform built with pure JavaScript (ES Modules) and Vite. Users complete lessons by writing CSS or Tailwind code that passes validation rules.
## Commands
```bash
npm start # Start dev server at http://localhost:1312
npm run build # Production build to dist/
npm run test # Run tests once
npm run test.watch # Run tests in watch mode
npm run test.coverage # Run tests with coverage report
npm run format # Format source files with Prettier
npm run format.lessons # Format lesson JSON files
```
## Architecture
### Core Components
- **LessonEngine** (`src/impl/LessonEngine.js`): Single source of truth for lesson state, progress tracking, and code validation. Manages user code application to preview iframes and persists progress to localStorage.
- **Validator** (`src/helpers/validator.js`): Validates user code against lesson requirements. Supports validation types: `contains`, `contains_class`, `not_contains`, `regex`, `property_value`, `syntax`, `custom`.
- **Lesson Config** (`src/config/lessons.js`): Loads and validates lesson modules from JSON. Modules are imported statically and stored in `moduleStore`.
### Data Flow
1. Lesson JSON files define modules with lessons, each containing `previewHTML`, `validations`, and other metadata
2. `LessonEngine` loads modules and tracks user progress per lesson
3. User code is applied to an iframe preview and validated against lesson rules
4. Progress is persisted to `localStorage` under `codeCrispies.progress` and `codeCrispies.userCode`
### Lesson Structure
Lessons are JSON files in `lessons/` following the schema in `schemas/code-crispies-module-schema.json`. Each module has:
- `mode`: "css" or "tailwind"
- `difficulty`: "beginner", "intermediate", or "advanced"
- `lessons[]`: Array of lessons with validations
For Tailwind mode, user classes are injected via `{{USER_CLASSES}}` placeholder in `previewHTML`.
### Testing
Tests use Vitest with jsdom environment. Setup in `tests/setup.js` includes DOM testing library matchers. Test files are in `tests/unit/`.
## Code Quality Standards
This project adheres to the highest standards for web development:
- **Semantic HTML5**: Always use semantic elements (`<header>`, `<nav>`, `<main>`, `<article>`, `<section>`, `<footer>`, `<figure>`, etc.) over generic `<div>` containers
- **WCAG Compliance**: Ensure accessibility - proper heading hierarchy, ARIA labels where needed, keyboard navigation support
- **Native HTML over JavaScript**: Prefer native HTML elements and attributes (e.g., `<dialog>`, `<details>`, `required`, `pattern`) over JS-driven solutions
- **No unnecessary classes**: Avoid presentational classes like `.form-group` or `.container` in lesson examples - teach pure semantic HTML first
- **Progressive enhancement**: Core functionality should work without JavaScript where possible
- **Valid HTML**: All HTML must be valid according to W3C standards
### Lesson Content Guidelines
When creating or editing lessons:
- Student code examples should be minimal and semantic
- Avoid CSS framework patterns (Bootstrap, Tailwind utility classes) in HTML lessons
- Use native form validation attributes instead of JavaScript validation
- Teach the platform's native capabilities first
