Epic Category: Future Extensions & Developer Experience

Focuses on advanced robustness, type safety, performance scalability, and optional enhancements that improve long-term maintainability.

Child (planned) sub-issues:

• Add retry & backoff strategy for transient errors (Add retry & backoff strategy for transient errors #17)
• Introduce type-safe function code enums & stricter config types (Introduce type-safe function code enums & stricter config types #18)
• Performance: move parsing to Web Worker for large bursts (Performance: move parsing to Web Worker for large bursts #20)

Objectives:

1. Minimize transient failure impact through controlled retries.
2. Reduce runtime errors via compile-time guarantees.
3. Keep UI responsive under high-throughput workloads.

Success Metrics:

• Retry feature reduces observed manual re-run attempts in monitoring sessions (qualitative) / tests confirm.
• Type errors prevent unsupported function code usage in codebase (zero casts to any for FC usage).
• Worker parsing shows measurable main-thread idle increase (>30% improvement vs baseline test case for 10k frames).

Execution Order Suggestion:
#18 (types) before #17 (so retry logic coded against safe types) then #20 (architecture-level change).

Add sub-issues to establish hierarchy and track progress.
