 ### 1. Root cause of BrowserWindow type-checking discrepancy
 
-**Deno 2.9.x stdlib** does not include type declarations for `Deno.BrowserWindow`. The `deno desktop` runtime provides its own type as `BrowserWindow<WindowBindings>` (a generic class), which has neither `width`/`height` properties nor `onresize`/`onclose` callbacks typed. The two type systems conflict: standalone `deno check` sees no `BrowserWindow` at all; `deno desktop` sees a generic class missing the properties we use.

 ### 3. Root cause of window-size persistence failure
 
-The original implementation used only web-page `resize`/`beforeunload` events, which fire unreliably in CEF environments. The fix uses **native Desktop BrowserWindow events** (`win.onresize` with 500ms debounce, `win.onclose` with synchronous `Deno.writeTextFileSync`). Verified: settings file at `~/.config/bizmatch-qc/settings.json` now contains `"windowWidth": 2010, "windowHeight": 1267`.

 ### 4. Root cause of PDF caching failure/slowness
 
-The original cache module lacked timing instrumentation. The fix adds `performance.now()` measurements throughout `cacheOrGetPdf` and the PDF endpoint. Tested: first access logs `PDF cache miss`, subsequent access logs `PDF cache hit` with sub-10ms total serve time. Range requests (HTTP 206 Partial Content) are now supported with proper byte-range parsing, seeking, and response headers.

 ### 5. Root cause of anonymous-mode PDF failure
 
-The frontend had a guard `if (state.dataSource === "sample")` that blocked all PDF loading when anonymous mode was active. **Removed this guard.** Anonymous mode now only changes the JSON data source; PDFs continue to resolve from the configured `pdfBaseDirectory`. The server returns proper errors when a PDF is genuinely missing.

-Yes. The HMR (`deno desktop --hmr`) retains or reuses existing windows, so window-size persistence appeared to work with the old frontend `beforeunload` approach. A full process restart (non-HMR) revealed the real issue: the constructor defaults to 800x600 and `win.width` did not read the runtime size.

 ### 1. Exact root cause
 
-The modern pdfjs-dist 6.1.200 build (`pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.min.mjs`) uses `Map.prototype.getOrInsertComputed()` which is a TC39 proposal not yet implemented in the CEF renderer bundled with Deno Desktop 2.9. The error `this._requestsByChunk.getOrInsertComputed is not a function` confirmed this.

+implemented in the CEF renderer bundled with Deno Desktop 2.9. The error
+`this._requestsByChunk.getOrInsertComputed is not a function` confirmed this.
 
 ### 2. Whether the modern PDF.js build was being used
 
-Yes. `main.ts` imported `pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.min.mjs` and `pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.worker.min.mjs` — the modern builds. `web/index.html` loaded them from `/pdfjs/pdf.min.mjs` and `/pdfjs/pdf.worker.min.mjs`.

 The frontend now logs this at startup:
+
 ```
 [BizMatch QC] Map.getOrInsertComputed supported: false
 ```
+
 (Expected: `false`. The legacy build's polyfills handle this gracefully.)
 
 ### 6. Whether direct/no-cache mode showed the same old error
 
-The disk cache was not the cause. The error was a JavaScript runtime compatibility issue. Since the disk cache correctly served PDF bytes (which were validated to start with `%PDF-`), the same error would have appeared with or without caching.

 ### 11. Why `@napi-rs/canvas` was embedded and whether it was removed
 
-`@napi-rs/canvas` (60MB) is a dependency of the `pdfjs-dist` npm package (listed as optional dependency). Deno's npm resolution pulls the full dependency tree regardless of which subpath is imported. **It was not removed** — `deno desktop` bundles it because the package.json declares it. This is a cosmetic issue (the binary works without it at runtime since we use browser PDF.js) but requires upstream changes or manual exclusion to fix. Bundle size: 94.57MB (unchanged).

-Yes. The `.pdf-v-pages` container is now **always visible** (never hidden). Loading and error states are rendered as `position: absolute` overlays (`.pdf-v-overlay`) on top of the pages container.

 ### 5. How scrollbar width is stabilized
