7. Communicate clearly and efficiently, avoiding unnecessary elaboration.
8. Support answers with credible references and links.
9. When showing modifications, avoid quoting the entire file when a few lines of context either side will do.
  - You can split large edits into sperate blocks it they are located in different parts of the file.

Handling Uncertainty and Limitations:
1. If you are uncertain or lack knowledge about a topic, respond with "I don't have enough information to provide a complete answer" and ask for clarification or additional context.
2. Clearly state assumptions and limitations in the proposed solution.
3. Offer alternative approaches or suggest seeking additional expertise if needed.


When outputting code blocks, include a # or // file name comment prior to the block, with a few lines before and after the modification. This helps the user identify where to make changes.

Stick to the current architecture choices located in pyproject.toml unless the user suggests a new method or module. If you need clarification on any part of the task, ask for more information before proceeding with the implementation.

BackendModel and FrontendModel should ALWAYS BE DEFINED IN Types.elm

An action by a user/player will always be a FrontendMsg.
Then, as a side effect, it's possible that we want to talk to the backend, for that we will use Lamdera.sendToBackend with a ToBackend variant.
After making some modifications you must run `lamdera make src/Frontend.elm src/Backend.elm` so see the compilation errors.
If you're making some tests: use elm-test-rs to test the tests!
When you want to create a migration first run lamdera check, then complete the migrations that have been generated.
When you need to add a dependency, please use yes | lamdera install instead of modifying directly the elm.json
When you fix compilation errors, look around before going straight to try to fix. Avoid to use anonymous fonctions, because most of the time when you do, it's because you don't understand the compilation error.
When you're fixing compilation errors from lamdera make, just fix ONE, then compile again to see if you fixed it before going to the next one

#### **1. Introduction**
This document provides guidelines and best practices for Java programming, focusing on core principles and modern practices relevant to Java source code manipulation and understanding. It is designed to assist students and developers in creating clean, efficient, and maintainable Java applications.

#### **2. Java Naming Conventions**
- **Class and Interface Names:** Use CamelCase and start with uppercase letters. Examples: `DataProcessor`, `Runnable`.
- **Method Names:** Use mixed case starting with a lowercase letter, reflecting the action performed. Example: `calculateTotal`.
- **Variable Names:** Use descriptive names in mixed case starting with a lowercase letter. Avoid single-character names except for temporary looping variables.
- **Constants:** Use all uppercase with underscores between words. Example: `MAX_HEIGHT`.
- **Enums:** Treat enum names like class names (CamelCase) and constants in enums as uppercase. Example: `enum Color { RED, GREEN, BLUE }`.
- **Type Parameters:** Use single uppercase letters. Common conventions include `E` for element and `T` for type.

#### **3. Java Documentation Practices**
- **JavaDoc:** Properly document all public classes and methods using JavaDoc, focusing on the "why" and "how" of the code.
- **Inline Comments:** Use inline comments sparingly to explain "why" something is done, not "how" it is done.

#### **4. Code Structure and Organization**
- **Modularity:** Organize code into packages that reflect functionality and can be reused across different parts of the application.
- **Error Handling:** Use exceptions to handle errors. Create custom exception classes when necessary to clarify the type of error.
- **Use of Generics:** Utilize generics to create flexible and type-safe code, reducing runtime errors.

#### **5. Java Core Libraries Utilization**
- **Collections:** Use Java Collections Framework effectively. Prefer `ArrayList` over arrays for resizable arrays, and use `HashMap` for key-value pairs.
- **Streams:** Utilize the Stream API for processing collections of data in a declarative way.
- **Concurrency:** Use Java Concurrency utilities like `ExecutorService` and `ConcurrentHashMap` to manage threads safely and efficiently.

#### **6. Modern Java Features**
- **Lambda Expressions and Functional Interfaces:** Use lambda expressions to create concise and flexible code, particularly with collections and threading.
- **Optional Class:** Use `Optional` to represent nullable value without using `null`, which can help prevent `NullPointerException`.
- **Java Modules:** Use the Java Platform Module System (JPMS) for better encapsulation and dependencies management.

#### **7. Performance Optimization**
- **Avoid Premature Optimization:** Focus on writing clear and simple code before optimizing. Use profiling tools to identify bottlenecks.
- **Memory Management:** Understand object creation costs and manage resources using try-with-resources to automatically close resources.

#### **8. Testing and Debugging**
- **Unit Testing:** Write unit tests using frameworks like JUnit to ensure each part of the application works as expected independently.
- **Debugging:** Use debugging tools within IDEs to step through code and understand the flow and state of the application.

#### **9. Adherence to Java Language and JVM Specifications**
- **Compliance:** Ensure code complies with the Java Language Specification and JVM specifications to avoid platform-specific issues and ensure portability.

#### **10. Ethical and Professional Practices**
- **Code of Conduct:** Adhere to ethical coding practices, respecting copyright and licensing of third-party libraries.
- **Continuous Learning:** Stay updated with the latest Java developments and participate in forums and communities to enhance skills.

#### **11. File Naming Conventions**
When creating new files within a Java project, it is important to adhere to consistent naming conventions to ensure that files are easily identifiable and accessible. This section outlines the recommended practices for naming files in Java projects.

- **CamelCase Naming:** Use CamelCase for naming Java class files. This is consistent with the naming of the classes themselves and helps maintain readability. Example: `UserProfile.java`, `FileProcessor.java`.

- **Dashes for Non-Class Files:** For non-class files, such as scripts, configurations, or logs, use dashes to separate words. This improves readability in systems where CamelCase is not typically used. Example: `config-file.properties`, `error-log.txt`.

- **Consistency Across the Project:** Ensure that all team members follow the same naming conventions to avoid confusion and maintain consistency across the project's codebase.

- **Avoid Special Characters:** Except for the dash (-) in non-class files and the underscore (_) in specific cases like test files, avoid using special characters in file names. This prevents issues related to different operating systems' file handling.

- **Descriptive Names:** File names should be descriptive and give a clear indication of their purpose or contents without needing to open them. Avoid vague names like `util.java` or `helper.txt`, which do not provide insight into the file's functionality.

By following these file naming conventions, developers can ensure that their Java projects are organized and that their files are easily manageable and accessible. This practice is crucial for collaborative environments and contributes to the overall maintainability of the codebase.

#### **12. Use of Visual Aids in Documentation**

- **Diagrams and Flowcharts:** Utilize diagrams and flowcharts to visually represent the flow of logic, architecture, or data within Java applications. This can enhance understanding and retention of complex processes.

- **Integration:** Include these visual aids within documentation or alongside code examples to provide a dual representation of the information. This can be particularly useful in educational materials or in-depth technical documentation.

- **Tools and Formats:** Use simple ASCII art for basic diagrams or employ more sophisticated tools like UML diagram generators for detailed representations. Ensure that the chosen format is accessible and clear in the context it is used.

- **Consistency:** Maintain a consistent style and level of detail across all diagrams to ensure clarity and professionalism. Include captions or legends where necessary to explain the visual content.

- **Example Usage:** Diagrams can be particularly useful in explaining loop operations, conditional logic, class hierarchies, and design patterns.

By incorporating this section, the document will guide users not only on coding practices but also on effective ways to document and explain their code visually. This addition could significantly enhance the comprehensiveness and utility of the Java Cursor Rules Document.

- Customize components using the provided configuration options
- Utilize the theming system for consistent styling across the application
- Implement proper form handling using shadcn/ui form components
- Use shadcn/ui's dialog and modal components for improved accessibility

# React Hooks
- Use useState for local state management:
  - Initialize state with appropriate default values
  - Use functional updates for state that depends on previous state
  - Avoid redundant state by deriving values when possible
  - Use the lazy initial state for expensive computations
- Utilize useEffect for side effects:
  - Separate concerns by using multiple useEffect hooks for different functionalities
  - Always return a cleanup function to prevent memory leaks, especially for subscriptions or timers
  - Use the dependency array to control when the effect runs:
    - Include all variables and functions the effect depends on
    - Use [] only when the effect should run once on mount and cleanup on unmount
    - Avoid [] when the effect uses values that might change
  - Use the optional cleanup function to handle unsubscriptions or cancellations
- Optimize performance:
  - Use useMemo for expensive computations
  - Use useCallback for functions passed as props to child components
  - Consider using useReducer for complex state logic
  - Utilize useRef for mutable values that don't require re-renders
- Utilize custom hooks for reusable logic:
  - Extract common stateful logic into custom hooks
  - Follow the "use" naming convention for custom hooks
- Implement context effectively:
  - Use useContext for accessing shared data across components
  - Create custom provider components for complex shared state
- Handle asynchronous operations:
  - Use useEffect for data fetching and subscriptions
  - Consider using libraries like SWR or React Query for advanced data fetching
- Avoid common pitfalls:
  - Don't call hooks inside loops, conditions, or nested functions
  - Ensure the order and number of hooks are consistent between renders
  - Use the eslint-plugin-react-hooks to catch mistakes
  - Be cautious with closures in hooks, especially in useEffect and useCallback
- Testing hooks:
  - Use React Testing Library for testing custom hooks
  - Create test components to simulate hook usage in tests


# Callbacks
- Use callbacks effectively:
  - Implement useCallback for functions passed as props to child components
  - Memoize callback functions to prevent unnecessary re-renders
  - Ensure the dependency array of useCallback includes all variables the callback depends on
  - Use callbacks for event handlers and functions passed to child components
  - Avoid creating new function instances on every render when possible
  - Consider using useCallback in conjunction with useMemo for optimized performance
  - Be cautious of stale closures when using callbacks, especially in useEffect
  - Use the functional form of setState when the new state depends on the previous state
  - Implement proper error handling within callbacks
  - Test callbacks thoroughly, including edge cases and error scenarios

# Rules Reference
This file serves as the main configuration file for Next.js 15 and React 19 projects. It references and implements the detailed rules located in the `rules/` directory. Each section corresponds to specific rule files in the rules folder that provide comprehensive implementation details.

# Framework Versions
- Next.js: 15.x
- React: 19.x (Release Candidate)

Provide guidance and best practices for a software development project according to specified rules and conventions for environment configuration, app router structure, component organization, API routes, styling, and other critical aspects. Ensure that all aspects of the project conform to the described standards and conventions.

# Steps
# Each step references corresponding YAML files in the rules/ directory and follows Next.js 15 conventions

1. **Environment Configuration** (rules/environment.yaml)
   - Validate environment variables using Zod for type safety.
   - Store sensitive data in `.env.local` and never commit `.env` files to version control.
   - Provide documentation for environment variables in `.env.example`.

2. **App Router Structure** (rules/app-router.yaml)
   - Use default exports for page components and React Server Components as default practices.
   - Implement the 'use client' directive as necessary.
   - Use standardized file naming conventions such as `page.tsx` and `layout.tsx`.

3. **Component Organization** (rules/components.yaml)
   - Categorize components into directories: `components/common/`, `components/ui/`, and `components/[feature]/`.
   - Use PascalCase for component names and limit files to one component each.
   - Define TypeScript interfaces for props to enforce type safety.

4. **Shadcn Components** (rules/components.yaml)
   - Utilize destructured imports to maintain readability and include accessibility features.
   - Use the `cn()` utility for merging `className` attributes.
