# WP Agentic Writer Sidebar 1:1 Migration Tasklist

**Source task plan:** `SIDEBAR_1_TO_1_MIGRATION.md`
**Source of truth:** `assets/js/sidebar.js`
**Mode:** active 1:1 migration. No build step, no inferred behavior.

Use this tasklist to execute the migration described in `SIDEBAR_1_TO_1_MIGRATION.md`. Every checkbox must be completed against `assets/js/sidebar.js`, not memory.

**Current status:** Real 1:1 monolith migration is complete in `assets/js/src/index.jsx` for mechanical `wp.element.createElement` to JSX conversion. The migrated file parses with `tsc --allowJs --checkJs false --jsx preserve --noEmit`, class inventory still verifies 226 tokens, endpoint and Gutenberg/browser side-effect inventories remain present, and only intentional `document.createElement` DOM usage remains. No build was run, no enqueue switch was made, and no extraction was performed.

**Implementation tracker:** Continue real migration work in `SIDEBAR_1_TO_1_REAL_MIGRATION_TASKLIST.md`. This document remains the Phase 0-14 parity/audit ledger.

**Readiness statement:** Phase 0 through Phase 14 have been checked twice against the current `assets/js/sidebar.js` source of truth and are considered complete for monolith parity. Optional Phase 15 is intentionally excluded because extraction must wait until after the 1:1 monolith migration. Do not re-open uncertainty about Phase 0-14 unless `assets/js/sidebar.js`, `SIDEBAR_1_TO_1_MIGRATION.md`, or `assets/js/src/index.jsx` changes. The project is ready to start the actual 1:1 migration work: mechanical `createElement` to JSX conversion inside the monolith, with no behavior changes.

**Active conversion rule:** During JSX conversion, each completed range must be recorded below with its original source line range. The global `createElement` definition-of-done item is checked only after every `wp.element.createElement` render call in the monolith has been converted and verified.

## Ground Rules

- [x] Confirm `assets/js/sidebar.js` is the current source of truth before starting.
- [x] Confirm `SIDEBAR_1_TO_1_MIGRATION.md` is open beside `assets/js/sidebar.js`.
- [x] Do not use `MIGRATION_GUIDE.md` as authority when it differs from `assets/js/sidebar.js`.
- [x] Do not rename functions during the first migration pass.
- [x] Do not extract helper files during the first migration pass.
- [x] Do not change visible text, labels, placeholders, icons, SVG markup, classes, inline styles, aria attributes, roles, or conditional render gates.
- [x] Do not replace `RawHTML`, markdown logic, stream handling, abort handling, localStorage keys, endpoint paths, request bodies, or Gutenberg APIs.
- [x] Keep the first target as a monolithic JSX port.

## Definition of Done for Each Range

- [x] Source range is copied or represented completely.
- [x] `createElement` conversion keeps the same tag/component.

- [x] Any migrated range is checked against the original source lines before moving on.

- [ ] Do not extract render surfaces until all behavior helpers are proven equivalent.
- [ ] Do not delete the monolith source range until the moved range is checked line-by-line.

## Stop Conditions

- [ ] Stop if a migrated range requires guessing.
- [ ] Stop if a function seems unused but exists in `sidebar.js`.
- [ ] Stop if a class appears styling-only but exists in `sidebar.js`.
- [ ] Stop if an endpoint or request body differs from `sidebar.js`.
- [ ] Stop if hook order would change.
