User Story

As a Framework maintainer
I want to package Framework into a distributable format
So that users can install it via npm and use it in their projects

Description

Create a build and packaging system that prepares Framework for distribution via npm. This includes proper bundling, TypeScript compilation, type definitions, and ensuring all necessary files and dependencies are correctly configured.

Acceptance Criteria

• Given the project root
  When running build command
  Then all TypeScript files should be compiled to JavaScript

• Given the build process
  When packaging
  Then all necessary type definitions (d.ts) should be generated

• Given the package configuration
  When defining dependencies
  Then they should be properly categorized (dependencies, peerDependencies, devDependencies)

• Given the distribution package
  When publishing
  Then all necessary files should be included:
  - Compiled JavaScript
  - Type definitions
  - package.json
  - README.md
  - LICENSE

• Given the package.json
  When configuring for distribution
  Then it should include:
  - Correct entry points
  - Exports map
  - Types field
  - Required files
  - Package scope (@zacariec)

• Given the CLI commands
  When building
  Then proper source maps should be generated

• Given the package installation
  When users install via npm
  Then all Framework features should work as expected

Additional Information

• Priority: High
• Estimated Effort: 8 hours
• Dependencies: None

Technical Notes

Build system requirements:

• Configure TypeScript compiler options
• Set up bundling process
• Implement proper tree shaking
• Handle asset bundling

Build steps to consider:

1. Clean dist directory
2. Compile TypeScript
3. Bundle with Vite
4. Generate type definitions
5. Copy necessary files
6. Create source maps
7. Handle binary/CLI packaging
8. Verify package contents
9. Implement version management
