+# Component Interface Contracts
+
+**Date**: 2026-02-14  
+**Purpose**: Define component prop interfaces for extracted components
+
+## Button Component Contract
+
+```typescript
+interface ButtonProps {
+  variant: 'primary' | 'secondary';
+  children: React.ReactNode;
+  disabled?: boolean;
+  onClick?: () => void;
+  type?: 'button' | 'submit';
+  className?: string;
+}
+```
+
+**Behavior Contract**:
+
+- Primary variant renders with sky-600 background and white text
+- Secondary variant renders with slate-300 border and white background
+- Disabled state applies opacity-50 and cursor-not-allowed styles
+- Responsive design reduces padding and text size on mobile (max-[480px])
+- All variants maintain focus-visible outline with sky-500 color
+
+## TextInput Component Contract
+
+```typescript
+interface TextInputProps {
+  value: string;
+  onChange: (value: string) => void;
+  onSubmit: (text: string) => void;
+  isValid: boolean;
+  disabled?: boolean;
+}
+```
+
+**Behavior Contract**:
+
+- Renders textarea with 10 rows and minimum height of 56 (14rem)
+- Displays validation message when isValid is false
+- Calls onChange callback on each input change
+- Calls onSubmit callback when form is submitted with valid input
+- Prevents form submission when input is invalid
+- Applies focus styles with sky-500 border and ring
+
+## ReadingDisplay Component Contract
+
+```typescript
+interface ReadingDisplayProps {
+  currentWord: string;
+  hasWords: boolean;
+}
+```
+
+**Behavior Contract**:
+
+- Renders current word with 48px font size (3rem) on desktop
+- Responsive design reduces to 32px (2rem) on mobile (max-[480px])
+- Minimum height of 160px (10rem) on desktop, 136px (8.5rem) on mobile
+- Applies aria-live="polite" and aria-atomic="true" for screen readers
+- Uses role="status" for proper semantic meaning
+- Applies tracking-wide and font-semibold for readability
+
+## ControlPanel Component Contract
+
+```typescript
+interface ControlPanelProps {
+  selectedWpm: number;
+  onSpeedChange: (wpm: number) => void;
+  onStartReading: () => void;
+  onPauseReading: () => void;
+  onResumeReading: () => void;
+  onRestartReading: () => void;
+  onEditText: () => void;
+  isInputValid: boolean;
+  status: ReadingSessionStatus;
+}
+```
+
+**Behavior Contract**:
+
+- Renders speed slider with min/max values from readerConfig
+- Calls onSpeedChange when slider value changes
+- Conditionally renders action buttons based on status:
+  - idle: Read button (primary)
+  - running: Pause button (secondary) + Restart + Edit Text
+  - paused: Play button (primary) + Restart + Edit Text
+  - completed: Restart + Edit Text
+- Read button disabled when isInputValid is false
+- All buttons maintain responsive design patterns
+
+## SessionDetails Component Contract
+
+```typescript
+interface SessionDetailsProps {
+  wordsRead: number;
+  totalWords: number;
+  progressPercent: number;
+  msPerWord: number;
+}
+```
+
+**Behavior Contract**:
+
+- Renders collapsible details with summary "Session details"
+- Displays progress as "X / Y (Z%)" format
+- Displays tempo as "X milliseconds/word" format
+- Uses aria-live="polite" for screen reader announcements
+- Rounds percentage and ms/word values for display
+
+## SessionCompletion Component Contract
+
+```typescript
+interface SessionCompletionProps {
+  wordsRead: number;
+  elapsedMs: number;
+}
+```
+
+**Behavior Contract**:
+
+- Renders success message with emerald-200 border and emerald-50 background
+- Displays "Session complete" heading with font-semibold
+- Shows completion message with word count and elapsed time
+- Uses semantic h2 heading for proper document structure
+
+## Shared Type Contracts
+
+### ReadingSessionStatus
+
+```typescript
+type ReadingSessionStatus = 'idle' | 'running' | 'paused' | 'completed';
+```
+
+### TokenizedContent
+
+```typescript
+interface TokenizedContent {
+  totalWords: number;
+  words: string[];
+}
+```
+
+**Validation Rules**:
+
+- All props are required unless explicitly marked optional
+- Component callbacks must be called with correct parameter types
+- Status-dependent rendering must match the specified conditions
+- Accessibility attributes must be present as specified

+# Data Model: Component Refactoring
+
+**Date**: 2026-02-14  
+**Scope**: Component interfaces and shared types for extracted components
+
+## Component Interfaces
+
+### Button Component
+
+```typescript
+interface ButtonProps {
+  variant: 'primary' | 'secondary';
+  children: React.ReactNode;

+```
+
+### ControlPanel Component
+
+```typescript

+}
+```
+
+### SessionCompletion Component
+
+```typescript
+interface SessionCompletionProps {

+```
+
+## Shared Types (src/types/readerTypes.ts)
+
+```typescript

+  words: string[];
+}
+
+// Reader configuration
+interface ReaderConfig {
+  minWpm: number;
+  maxWpm: number;
+}
+```
+
+## Component Relationships
+
+```
+App (Container)
+├── TextInput (Form)
+│   └── Button (primary variant)
+├── ReadingDisplay (Display)
+├── ControlPanel (Controls)
+│   ├── Button (primary/secondary variants)
+│   └── Speed Slider (input)
+├── SessionDetails (Information)
+└── SessionCompletion (Status)
+```
+
+## Data Flow
+
+1. **TextInput** → App → **useReadingSession** hook
+2. **useReadingSession** → **ControlPanel** (actions)
+3. **useReadingSession** → **ReadingDisplay** (current word)
+4. **useReadingSession** → **SessionDetails** (statistics)
+5. **useReadingSession** → **SessionCompletion** (completion state)
+
+## Validation Rules
+
+### TextInput
+
+- Must contain at least one word character
+- Empty input is invalid
+- Form submission prevented on invalid input
+
+### Button
+
+- Primary variant: sky-600 background, white text
+- Secondary variant: slate-300 border, white background, slate-800 text
+- Disabled state: opacity-50, cursor-not-allowed
+- Responsive: smaller padding/text on mobile (max-[480px])
+
+### ControlPanel
+
+- Start button only visible in idle state
+- Pause button only visible in running state
+- Play button only visible in paused state
+- Restart/Edit buttons visible in non-idle states
+
+## State Transitions
+
+```
+idle → running (startReading)
+running → paused (pauseReading)
+paused → running (resumeReading)
+any state → idle (restartReading, editText)
+running/paused → completed (natural progression)
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- All components are pure functions with deterministic props
+- No additional state management required beyond existing useReadingSession hook
+- Component boundaries align with natural UI divisions for optimal React rendering

+# Implementation Plan: Component Refactoring
+
+**Branch**: `001-component-refactor` | **Date**: 2026-02-14 | **Spec**: [Component Refactoring](./spec.md)
+**Input**: Feature specification from `/specs/001-component-refactor/spec.md`
+
+**Note**: This template is filled in by the `/speckit.plan` command. See `.specify/templates/commands/plan.md` for the execution workflow.
+
+## Summary
+
+Extract 6 components from the monolithic App.tsx to improve maintainability, testability, and follow DRY principles. Components: TextInput, ReadingDisplay, ControlPanel, SessionDetails, SessionCompletion, and Button (for styling deduplication). Each component will be organized in individual folders following project patterns with colocated utilities and shared types moved to src/types/.
+
+## Technical Context
+
+**Language/Version**: TypeScript 5 (strict mode) with React 19  
+**Primary Dependencies**: React 19, Vite 7, Vitest 4, Tailwind CSS 4  
+**Storage**: N/A (client-side state management)  
+**Testing**: Vitest 4 with @testing-library/react and @testing-library/user-event  
+**Target Platform**: Web browser (responsive design)  
+**Project Type**: Single React web application  
+**Performance Goals**: Maintain existing reading session performance, no timing regressions  
+**Constraints**: Must preserve all existing functionality and accessibility features  
+**Scale/Scope**: Refactor existing 224-line App.tsx into 6 focused components
+
+## Constitution Check
+
+_GATE: Must pass before Phase 0 research. Re-check after Phase 1 design._
+
+- [x] Reader comprehension impact is defined and measurable for the feature.
+- [x] Deterministic behavior is specified for timing/state transitions and has regression guardrails.
+- [x] Accessibility requirements cover keyboard navigation, semantics, focus, and responsive parity.
+- [x] Test strategy includes regression coverage and required quality gates (`lint`, `lint:tsc`, `test:ci`).
+- [x] Scope is minimal and dependency changes are justified.

+```
+
+**Structure Decision**: Single React web application with component-based architecture. Each extracted component follows the established project pattern with individual folders containing component file, types, tests, and barrel exports. Component-specific utilities are colocated, while shared types are centralized in src/types/.

+# Quickstart Guide: Component Refactoring Implementation
+
+**Date**: 2026-02-14  
+**Branch**: `001-component-refactor`
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide provides step-by-step instructions for implementing the component refactoring. The goal is to extract 6 components from the monolithic App.tsx while preserving all existing functionality and improving code maintainability.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Ensure you're on the `001-component-refactor` branch
+- Run `npm install` to ensure dependencies are up to date
+- Verify existing tests pass: `npm run test:ci`
+
+## Implementation Order
+
+### Phase 1: Create Shared Infrastructure
+
+1. **Create Button Component** (Foundation)
+
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p src/components/Button
+   touch src/components/Button/{Button.tsx,Button.types.ts,Button.test.tsx,index.ts}
+   ```
+
+2. **Create Shared Types**
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p src/types
+   touch src/types/{readerTypes.ts,index.ts}
+   ```
+
+### Phase 2: Extract Components (Dependency Order)
+
+3. **Extract TextInput Component**
+   - Move text input logic and validation
+   - Colocate tokenizeContent utility
+   - Test form submission and validation
+
+4. **Extract ReadingDisplay Component**
+   - Move current word display logic
+   - Preserve ARIA attributes and styling
+   - Test word display and accessibility
+
+5. **Extract Button Component Usage**
+   - Replace all inline button styles with Button component
+   - Verify primary/secondary variants
+   - Test responsive design and disabled states
+
+6. **Extract ControlPanel Component**
+   - Move speed slider and action buttons
+   - Colocate useReadingSession hook
+   - Test state-dependent button visibility
+
+7. **Extract SessionDetails Component**
+   - Move progress and tempo display
+   - Test collapsible behavior and calculations
+
+8. **Extract SessionCompletion Component**
+   - Move completion messaging
+   - Test success styling and timing display
+
+### Phase 3: Integration and Cleanup
+
+9. **Refactor App.tsx**
+   - Remove extracted code
+   - Import and use new components
+   - Verify all functionality preserved
+
+10. **Move Shared Types**
+    - Extract shared interfaces to src/types/
+    - Update component imports
+    - Verify TypeScript compilation
+
+## Development Commands
+
+### During Implementation
+
+```bash
+# Run tests after each component extraction
+npm run test:ci
+
+# Type check after TypeScript changes
+npm run lint:tsc
+
+# Lint code after styling changes
+npm run lint
+
+# Start dev server for manual verification
+npm start
+```
+
+### Final Verification
+
+```bash
+# Full test suite with coverage
+npm run test:ci
+
+# Type checking
+npm run lint:tsc
+
+# Linting
+npm run lint
+
+# Build verification
+npm run build
+```

+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+- Each component has its own test file
+- Test props, callbacks, and conditional rendering
+- Verify accessibility attributes
+- Test responsive design classes
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+- App.test.tsx verifies component integration
+- Test full user workflows
+- Verify state management through useReadingSession
+
+### Coverage Requirements
+
+- Maintain 100% test coverage
+- All statements, branches, functions, and lines covered
+- Use Vitest globals and Testing Library patterns
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+✅ **Component Extraction**: All 6 components extracted with proper interfaces  
+✅ **DRY Principle**: Button styling duplication eliminated  
+✅ **Functionality**: All existing features preserved  
+✅ **Accessibility**: ARIA attributes and keyboard navigation maintained  
+✅ **Testing**: 100% coverage maintained with component-specific tests  
+✅ **Code Quality**: TypeScript strict mode compliance, no lint errors  
+✅ **Performance**: No regressions in reading session timing
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+- **Import errors**: Verify barrel exports in index.ts files
+- **Type errors**: Check shared types are properly imported
+- **Test failures**: Ensure mock implementations match new component interfaces
+- **Styling issues**: Verify Tailwind classes are preserved in Button variants
+
+### Debug Commands
+
+```bash
+# Check specific component tests
+npm test -- src/components/Button/Button.test.tsx
+
+# Type check specific file
+npx tsc --noEmit src/components/TextInput/TextInput.tsx
+
+# Lint specific component
+npx eslint src/components/ControlPanel/
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+
+After completing the refactoring:
+
+1. Run final verification commands

+# Research Summary: Component Refactoring
+
+**Date**: 2026-02-14  
+**Scope**: Component extraction and DRY optimization for existing React application
+
+## Technology Decisions
+
+### React Component Architecture
+
+**Decision**: Use functional components with hooks following existing patterns  
+**Rationale**: Consistent with current codebase, React 19 best practices, and enables proper testing  
+**Alternatives considered**: Class components (rejected - inconsistent with codebase), custom hooks abstraction (rejected - over-engineering for this scope)
+
+### TypeScript Organization
+
+**Decision**: Colocate component-specific types, move shared types to `src/types/`  
+**Rationale**: Balances encapsulation with reusability, follows established React patterns  
+**Alternatives considered**: All types in central location (rejected - poor component cohesion), inline types (rejected - poor reusability)
+
+### Button Component Strategy
+
+**Decision**: Create reusable Button component with variant system using component-level styling  
+**Rationale**: Eliminates significant Tailwind class duplication, provides consistent styling, enables better maintainability  
+**Alternatives considered**: Tailwind utility classes (rejected - CSS file addition), @apply directive (rejected - less component-scoped)
+
+### Testing Strategy
+
+**Decision**: Maintain existing Vitest + Testing Library approach with component-specific test files  
+**Rationale**: Preserves current toolchain, enables isolated component testing, maintains coverage requirements  
+**Alternatives considered**: Storybook (rejected - out of scope), visual regression testing (rejected - over-engineering)
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Component Rendering
+
+**Finding**: No performance impacts expected from component extraction  
+**Rationale**: React Compiler handles memoization automatically, component boundaries align with natural UI divisions
+
+### Bundle Size
+
+**Finding**: Neutral impact on bundle size  
+**Rationale**: Same amount of code, just reorganized; potential minor improvement from better tree-shaking
+
+## Accessibility Preservation
+
+**Finding**: All existing accessibility patterns will be preserved  
+**Rationale**: Component extraction maintains semantic HTML, ARIA attributes, and keyboard navigation patterns established in original code
+
+## Migration Strategy
+
+**Decision**: Incremental component extraction with continuous testing  
+**Rationale**: Minimizes risk, enables validation at each step, maintains working application throughout process  
+**Alternatives considered**: Big-bang refactoring (rejected - high risk, difficult to debug)
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+**Low Risk Areas**:
+
+- Component extraction (well-defined boundaries)
+- Button deduplication (clear duplication pattern)
+- Type organization (standard React practice)
+
+**Mitigation Strategies**:
+
+- Preserve all existing tests during migration
+- Run test suite after each component extraction
+- Maintain visual regression testing through manual verification
+
+## Conclusion
+
+All technical decisions align with existing project patterns and React best practices. No external dependencies or new technologies required. The refactoring can proceed with minimal risk and high confidence in maintaining existing functionality.

+# Feature Specification: Component Refactoring
+
+**Feature Branch**: `001-component-refactor`  
+**Created**: 2026-02-14  
+**Status**: Draft  
+**Input**: User description: "refactor and modularize components"
+
+## User Scenarios & Testing _(mandatory)_
+
+### User Story 1 - Extract Text Input Component (Priority: P1)
+
+As a developer, I want the text input functionality separated into its own component so that I can reuse it and test it independently.
+
+**Why this priority**: The text input is a core UI element that's currently tightly coupled with the main App component, making it hard to test and maintain.
+
+**Independent Test**: Can be fully tested by rendering the TextInput component in isolation and verifying text input, validation, and form submission behavior.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** an empty text area, **When** user types text, **Then** the component updates its internal state and calls the onChange callback
+2. **Given** invalid input (empty), **When** form is submitted, **Then** validation message is displayed and submission is prevented
+3. **Given** valid input, **When** form is submitted, **Then** onSubmit callback is called with the text content
+
+---
+
+### User Story 2 - Extract Reading Display Component (Priority: P1)
+
+As a developer, I want the reading display (current word display) separated into its own component so that I can style it independently and test its accessibility features.
+
+**Why this priority**: The reading display is the primary user-facing element during reading sessions and deserves focused testing and styling.
+
+**Independent Test**: Can be fully tested by rendering the ReadingDisplay component with different word states and verifying proper ARIA attributes and visual presentation.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** a current word, **When** component renders, **Then** the word is displayed with proper typography and ARIA attributes
+2. **Given** no current word, **When** component renders, **Then** appropriate empty state is shown
+3. **Given** component is focused, **When** screen reader interacts, **Then** proper aria-live and aria-atomic attributes are present
+
+---
+
+### User Story 3 - Extract Control Panel Component (Priority: P1)
+
+As a developer, I want the reading controls (speed slider, action buttons) separated into their own component so that I can manage control state independently and improve button organization.
+
+**Why this priority**: The control panel contains multiple interactive elements that have complex state-dependent behavior and need focused testing.
+
+**Independent Test**: Can be fully tested by rendering the ControlPanel component with different session states and verifying correct button visibility and behavior.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** idle state, **When** component renders, **Then** only Read button is enabled
+2. **Given** running state, **When** component renders, **Then** Pause button is visible and functional
+3. **Given** paused state, **When** component renders, **Then** Play button is visible and functional
+4. **Given** any state, **When** speed slider is adjusted, **Then** onSpeedChange callback is called with new value
+
+---
+
+### User Story 4 - Extract Session Details Component (Priority: P2)
+
+As a developer, I want the session details (progress, tempo) separated into their own component so that I can format and display statistics independently.
+
+**Why this priority**: Session details are informational display elements that can be reused in different contexts and need focused styling.
+
+**Independent Test**: Can be fully tested by rendering the SessionDetails component with different session data and verifying proper formatting and display.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** session progress data, **When** component renders, **Then** progress percentage and word counts are displayed correctly
+2. **Given** tempo data, **When** component renders, **Then** WPM and ms/word values are calculated and displayed
+3. **Given** collapsed state, **When** user clicks summary, **Then** details expand/collapse appropriately
+
+---
+
+### User Story 5 - Extract Session Completion Component (Priority: P2)
+
+As a developer, I want the session completion message separated into its own component so that I can style completion states independently and add more completion features later.
+
+**Why this priority**: Completion messaging is a distinct user experience moment that may need enhanced features like sharing or restarting options.
+
+**Independent Test**: Can be fully tested by rendering the SessionCompletion component with completion data and verifying proper message display.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** completed session data, **When** component renders, **Then** completion message with word count and timing is displayed
+2. **Given** completion component, **When** displayed, **Then** appropriate success styling and semantic markup is applied
+
+---
+
+### Edge Cases
+
+- What happens when components receive invalid props or missing data?
+- How does system handle rapid state changes in reading session?
+- What happens when text content is extremely long or contains special characters?
+- How do components behave when accessibility features are enabled?
+
+## Requirements _(mandatory)_
+
+### Constitution Alignment _(mandatory)_
+
+- **Comprehension Outcome**: Component refactoring must preserve all existing reading functionality and user experience without breaking comprehension features.
+- **Deterministic Behavior**: All extracted components must maintain the same state-driven behavior as the monolithic App component.
+- **Accessibility Coverage**: Each component must maintain or improve existing ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation, and screen reader support.
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+- **FR-001**: System MUST extract TextInput component from App.tsx with text input, validation, and form submission capabilities
+- **FR-002**: System MUST extract ReadingDisplay component with current word display and proper ARIA attributes
+- **FR-003**: System MUST extract ControlPanel component with speed slider and state-dependent action buttons
+- **FR-004**: System MUST extract SessionDetails component with progress and tempo information display
+- **FR-005**: System MUST extract SessionCompletion component with completion messaging and statistics
+- **FR-006**: System MUST maintain all existing functionality and user interactions after refactoring
+- **FR-007**: System MUST preserve all existing test coverage and add component-specific tests
+- **FR-008**: Each component MUST have clear prop interfaces and TypeScript types
+- **FR-009**: Components MUST follow established project patterns with individual folders containing component file, types, tests, and index.ts exports
+- **FR-010**: Component-specific utilities MUST be colocated with their primary consuming component, shared types moved to `src/types/`
+- **FR-011**: System MUST maintain responsive design and styling consistency across all components
+- **FR-012**: System MUST extract Button component with primary/secondary variants to eliminate styling duplication
+
+### Key Entities _(include if feature involves data)_
+
+- **TextInput**: Handles text input, validation, and form submission for reading sessions
+- **ReadingDisplay**: Displays current word with proper typography and accessibility
+- **ControlPanel**: Manages speed control and reading session action buttons
+- **SessionDetails**: Shows reading progress and tempo statistics
+- **SessionCompletion**: Displays completion message and session summary
+- **Button**: Reusable button component with primary/secondary variants for consistent styling
+
+## Clarifications
+
+### Session 2026-02-14
+
+- Q: How should the new component directories be structured within the existing `src/components/` folder? → A: Each component in its own folder: `src/components/TextInput/`, `src/components/ReadingDisplay/`, etc. - each with component file, types, tests, and index.ts
+- Q: Should utilities and shared types be colocated with components that use them, or organized in separate shared folders? → A: Colocate - Move hooks/types with primary component (e.g., `useReadingSession` with ControlPanel), shared types in `src/types/`
+- Q: Should we create shared button component variants or utility classes to eliminate the significant button styling duplication? → A: Create Button component with primary/secondary variants using component-level styling
+
+## Success Criteria _(mandatory)_
+
+### Measurable Outcomes
+
+- **SC-001**: All components can be rendered and tested independently with 100% test coverage
+- **SC-002**: App.tsx component size reduced by at least 60% through component extraction
+- **SC-003**: No existing functionality is lost - all user interactions work identically after refactoring
+- **SC-004**: Component prop interfaces are clearly defined with TypeScript strict mode compliance
+- **SC-005**: All components follow established file structure patterns with proper barrel exports

+---
+
+## Dependencies & Execution Order
+
+### Phase Dependencies
+
+- **Setup (Phase 1)**: No dependencies - can start immediately
+- **Foundational (Phase 2)**: Depends on Setup completion - BLOCKS all user stories
+- **User Stories (Phase 3-7)**: All depend on Foundational phase completion
+  - User stories can then proceed in parallel (if staffed)
+  - Or sequentially in priority order (P1 → P2)
+- **Polish (Final Phase)**: Depends on all desired user stories being complete
+
+### User Story Dependencies
+
+- **User Story 1 (P1)**: Can start after Foundational (Phase 2) - No dependencies on other stories
+- **User Story 2 (P1)**: Can start after Foundational (Phase 2) - May integrate with US1 but should be independently testable
+- **User Story 3 (P1)**: Can start after Foundational (Phase 2) - May integrate with US1/US2 but should be independently testable
+- **User Story 4 (P2)**: Can start after Foundational (Phase 2) - May integrate with US1-3 but should be independently testable
+- **User Story 5 (P2)**: Can start after Foundational (Phase 2) - May integrate with US1-4 but should be independently testable
+
+### Within Each User Story
+
+- Tests MUST be written and FAIL before implementation
+- Types before implementation
+- Implementation before integration
+- Story complete before moving to next priority
+
+### Parallel Opportunities
+
+- All Setup tasks marked [P] can run in parallel
+- All Foundational tasks marked [P] can run in parallel (within Phase 2)
+- Once Foundational phase completes, all user stories can start in parallel (if team capacity allows)
+- All tests for a user story marked [P] can run in parallel
+- Types within a story marked [P] can run in parallel
+- Different user stories can be worked on in parallel by different team members
+
+---
+
+## Parallel Example: User Story 1
+
+```bash
+# Launch all tests for User Story 1 together:
+Task: "Create TextInput component unit tests in src/components/TextInput/TextInput.test.tsx"
+Task: "Create TextInput component integration tests in src/components/App/App.test.tsx"
+
+# Launch all setup tasks for User Story 1 together:
+Task: "Create TextInput component types in src/components/TextInput/TextInput.types.ts"
+Task: "Move tokenizeContent utility to src/components/TextInput/tokenizeContent.ts"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Strategy
+
+### MVP First (User Story 1 Only)
+
+1. Complete Phase 1: Setup
+2. Complete Phase 2: Foundational (CRITICAL - blocks all stories)
+3. Complete Phase 3: User Story 1
+4. **STOP and VALIDATE**: Test User Story 1 independently
+5. Deploy/demo if ready
+
+### Incremental Delivery
+
+1. Complete Setup + Foundational → Foundation ready
+2. Add User Story 1 → Test independently → Deploy/Demo (MVP!)
+3. Add User Story 2 → Test independently → Deploy/Demo
+4. Add User Story 3 → Test independently → Deploy/Demo
+5. Add User Story 4 → Test independently → Deploy/Demo
+6. Add User Story 5 → Test independently → Deploy/Demo
+7. Each story adds value without breaking previous stories
+
+### Parallel Team Strategy
+
+With multiple developers:
+
+1. Team completes Setup + Foundational together
+2. Once Foundational is done:
+   - Developer A: User Story 1
+   - Developer B: User Story 2
+   - Developer C: User Story 3
+3. Stories complete and integrate independently
+

+
+## Notes
+
+- [P] tasks = different files, no dependencies
+- [Story] label maps task to specific user story for traceability
+- Each user story should be independently completable and testable
+- Verify tests fail before implementing behavior changes
+- Document justification for any omitted tests
+- Commit after each task or logical group
+- Stop at any checkpoint to validate story independently
+- Avoid: vague tasks, same file conflicts, cross-story dependencies that break independence
