Native-browser and Behavioral conformance patch.
[Roshi's Codex PRIME]

Native-browser and Behavioral conformance patch.

Uses the bare easy-stack package import across the shared Node and Chrome inventory.

Adds an explicit native-browser import map and real-Chrome Given/When/Then coverage for the no-bundler Playground path.

Documents that easy-stack works with bundlers and without a bundler, with no build or transpilation step.

Adds static source, package, deployment, coverage-inventory, registry-integrity, and exact-commit release gates.

Additional notes2 sources agree
Add a dedicated Behavioral suite with composite consumer scenarios and real-Chrome Playground journeys for visible state, editor synchronization, failure, recovery, and user-directed Worker interruption.

Prove that easy-stack works with bundlers and without a bundler: bundlers resolve the bare package import normally, while native browser ESM uses an explicit import map with no build or transpilation step.

Document the complete normal npm-layout map, HTTP(S) and server-exposure requirements, unsupported <code>file://</code> path, and zero-build/no-transpilation workflow across every browser-facing guide and site area.

Add a Given/When/Then native no-bundler acceptance scenario plus static source and deployment assertions that preserve import-map ordering and targets.

Keep dependency-conflict and scoped-map testing explicitly not applicable while the published package has zero runtime dependencies; metadata and source guards force reassessment if that changes.

Make the release workflow verify and skip an already-published matching immutable version instead of attempting a duplicate publication.

2.1.022 Aug 2026

Replaces WeakMap-backed modern runtime state with native private fields while preserving the Stack API and LIFO behavior.

Highlights

Replaces WeakMap-backed modern runtime state with native private fields while preserving the Stack API and LIFO behavior.
Uses one native ESM implementation for both import and require on Node.js 22.13.0 and newer; the classic browser build and es5.js fallback remain available.
Adds reproducible version-to-version benchmarks, visual charts in the README, and focused Why and Benchmarks documentation pages.
Adds the sandboxed editable Playground, split Unit/Functional/Integration/Regression catalogs, and numeric-only trusted npm publishing.

Measured performance

Against easy-stack 2.0.0 on the checked-in benchmark protocol:

Node.js 22.13.0: construction 17.92× faster; schedule-and-drain turns 2.40× faster.
Node.js 24.18.0: construction 18.50× faster; schedule-and-drain turns 1.57× faster.

Results compare easy-stack versions on the recorded hardware and workload; they are not cross-library claims. Run npm run benchmark to reproduce the protocol.

Compatibility

The minimum supported Node.js version is now 22.13.0 so CommonJS require() and ESM import resolve to the same implementation without the experimental warning. Review the migration guide before upgrading from 2.0.x.

Verification

86 unique vanilla-test cases across four non-duplicated suites
Node.js 22.13.0 and 24 on Linux, macOS, and Windows
100% statements, branches, functions, and lines in Node and Chrome coverage
Packed-artifact install/import/require smoke and real-Chrome sandbox regressions
Zero runtime dependencies

Additional notes2 sources agree

Replace the modern runtimes' two WeakMaps with native private fields while preserving the documented Stack behavior.
Make native ESM and CommonJS load the same synchronous stack.js implementation and return the same constructor identity.
Raise the Node.js runtime floor to 22.13.0 for warning-free require(esm) interoperability; easy-stack 2.0.0 remains available for older runtimes.
Add a reproducible, checksum-validated version benchmark against the exact 2.0.0 release, plus CI benchmark evidence.
Add focused Why easy-stack and Benchmarks documentation routes with explicit fit, tradeoffs, methodology, and results.
Add a numeric-release-only, OIDC trusted-publishing workflow for npm delivery.
Correct the documentation hero image so responsive sizing preserves its intrinsic aspect ratio.
Add a dedicated, dependency-free browser Playground backed by the real stack module and vanilla-test controller contracts.
Pair every Playground activity with synchronized, editable JavaScript, isolated Worker execution, and a live console.
Reorganize tests into 86 uniquely identified Unit, Functional, Integration, and Regression cases without duplicate definitions.
Expand the curated GitHub Pages documentation to twelve primary routes plus four focused test-catalog pages.

2.0.016 Aug 2026

Version 2 modernizes easy-stack while preserving its synchronous cooperative LIFO model.

Highlights

Native ESM and CommonJS package exports, plus modern classic-script and ES5 browser entry points.
Zero runtime dependencies with a verified Node.js 12.22 minimum.
Atomic task validation, consistent public state, recoverable thrown-task handling, and explicit migration guidance.
vanilla-test 2.1.1 contracts in Node and Chrome with 100% statement, branch, function, and line coverage.
Clean packed-artifact installation checks across both module systems.
A focused nine-page documentation site deployed through CI-gated GitHub Pages.

Additional notes2 sources agree

Add native ESM, CommonJS, modern classic-browser, and ES5 entry points with explicit package exports.
Preserve synchronous cooperative LIFO execution, callback this binding, and the established require('easy-stack') path.
Make stack, contents(), size, and read-only running consistent across every shipped build.
Validate callback batches and replacement arrays before mutation.
Return the stack from add() for chaining and return the live empty array from clear().
Recover the runner after a callback throws while rethrowing the original error.
Repair the legacy browser build's CommonJS resolution and inherited-argument enqueue defects.
Add shared Node and Chrome contract tests powered by [email protected] with 100% coverage gates.
Prove the dependency-free runtime on Node 12.22.12 and the test toolchain on Node 22.12 and 24.
Add packed-package verification, a curated nine-page GitHub Pages site, and CI-gated deployment.
