Selection Internals

Goal

Complete ordered slice 2 only:

• add pure specs for the untested non-React selection helpers
• fix the real shouldTrigger bug if the new spec proves it
• add one focused SelectionArea suite for threshold and scroll behavior

Scope

• packages/selection/src/internal/utils/*
• packages/selection/src/internal/EventEmitter.ts
• packages/selection/src/internal/SelectionArea.ts

Findings

• shouldTrigger returns on the first trigger instead of checking whether any configured trigger matches
• there are no helper specs yet for frames, selectAll, intersectsScroll, or EventTarget
• SelectionArea is large, but the highest-value non-React seam is still threshold-start and scroll/frame scheduling
• numeric startThreshold is inclusive and uses the combined client-coordinate delta, so 30,40 -> 33,43 already crosses a threshold of 6
• pnpm turbo typecheck --filter=./packages/selection only went green after a full root pnpm build; the earlier filtered build was not enough to satisfy workspace-built exports for this package

Progress

• add helper specs
• fix shouldTrigger if red test proves the bug
• add focused SelectionArea coverage
• run targeted verification

Verification

• bun run test packages/selection/src/internal/utils/shouldTrigger.spec.ts packages/selection/src/internal/utils/frames.spec.ts packages/selection/src/internal/utils/selectAll.spec.ts packages/selection/src/internal/utils/intersects.spec.ts packages/selection/src/internal/EventEmitter.spec.ts packages/selection/src/internal/SelectionArea.spec.ts
• pnpm install
• pnpm turbo build --filter=./packages/selection
• pnpm turbo typecheck --filter=./packages/selection
• pnpm lint:fix
• bun run test packages/selection/src/internal/utils/shouldTrigger.spec.ts packages/selection/src/internal/utils/frames.spec.ts packages/selection/src/internal/utils/selectAll.spec.ts packages/selection/src/internal/utils/intersects.spec.ts packages/selection/src/internal/EventEmitter.spec.ts packages/selection/src/internal/SelectionArea.spec.ts
• pnpm build
• pnpm turbo typecheck --filter=./packages/selection

Outcome

• added pure helper coverage for shouldTrigger, frames, selectAll, intersectsScroll, and EventTarget
• added focused SelectionArea coverage for drag threshold start, single-click behavior, and manual scroll frame scheduling
• fixed the real shouldTrigger bug so later configured triggers can match
• confirmed package typecheck passes once the workspace is built at the repo root
