### 47. Open the README with what the package is, what it does and for whom.
Lands after item 72: the badges are npm's version and the GitHub Actions status. Today the README
opens with the pre-launch rationale — Atlassian's REST APIs, `pf-editor-service/convert` being
decommissioned, a link to JRACLOUD-77436. The background goes entirely, no endpoint, ticket or "why"

### 71. Add a README table comparing the package with the other ADF converters, each cell checked against that package's own docs or behaviour.
Lands after items 7, 46 and 47: the table names HTML, compares item 46's size figure, and sits in

holds, what an unknown node does, the formats, runtime dependencies and size. Candidates are the

package's README or a run against its published version, and the table names each version and the

title as a `caption` (the maintainer, 2026-10-04). By Goal 4, the lossless flavour reads both as

### 70. Give `package.json` the `keywords` someone searching npm for an ADF converter types.
`package.json` has none, and npm's search ranks on them. Take the terms the other ADF converters on
npm list and the names the README uses — ADF, Atlassian Document Format, markdown, CommonMark, HTML
— so a search for any of them can reach the package. Found while planning discoverability,
2026-10-04.
### 72. Make GitHub the canonical repository, with `gitea.larvit.se/larvit/adf-codec` a read-only pull mirror of it.
The maintainer's call, 2026-10-04: GitHub is where an ADF converter is searched for, and the Gitea
copy keeps the move back open. The workflows move to `.github/workflows/` with `ci.sh` unchanged.
Publishing moves to npm's trusted publishing over OIDC, which GitHub-hosted Actions support, and
which outlives the bypass-2FA token npm retires around January 2027: `publish.sh` drops `NPM_TOKEN`
for the Actions OIDC variables, and AGENTS.md §7 reserves the trusted-publisher setup in place of
the secret. `package.json`'s `repository` moves and it gains `bugs` and `homepage`. The links in
README, CHANGELOG and MIGRATION follow, as do AGENTS.md's forge commands and merge style.
`docs/decisions.md` gains the entry "GitHub is canonical, and Gitea a pull mirror of it" (Goal 3),
and §Public on npm and §Publish on a version bump are revised: the source is public on GitHub, and
CI publishes through npm's trusted publisher. Gitea's open issues and its releases move to GitHub
first, since a mirror carries only git refs; the mirror disables issues and its description points
at GitHub. Creating the GitHub repository, configuring npm's trusted publisher, and re-creating the
Gitea copy as a mirror (Gitea cannot convert an existing repository) are the maintainer's.
### 49. Read a list whose bullet or ordered delimiter changes as two lists, in both readers, and retire `!adf:listBreak`.
Lands after item 43. Today `- a` then `+ b`, or `1.` then `1)`, reads as one list; CommonMark reads
two (spec examples 301 and 302). Goal 4 settles it for the lossless flavour too: CommonMark spells
two (spec examples 301 and 302). Goal 5 settles it for the lossless flavour too: CommonMark spells
adjacent lists by changing the marker, so `adfToMarkdown` and `adfToPlainMarkdown` alternate `-` and
`*` between adjacent bullet lists and `.` and `)` between adjacent ordered lists, and
`!adf:listBreak` retires. `*` is the maintainer's pick (2026-10-04). Breaking, so it ships beside

the comparison and a README that opens with what the package is. We draft each post for the place it
goes; the maintainer posts them. Found while planning discoverability, 2026-10-04.
### 38. Spell a lone surrogate in a text node so it survives a UTF-8 encode.
`adfToMarkdown` emits it verbatim, so markdown stored as UTF-8 reads back U+FFFD; attribute values
already escape it.
### 47. Open the README with what the package is, what it does and for whom.
It opens with the pre-launch rationale — Atlassian's REST APIs, `pf-editor-service/convert` being
decommissioned, a link to JRACLOUD-77436. The background goes entirely, no endpoint, ticket or "why"

pair, `adfToPlainMarkdown` and `plainMarkdownToAdf`, and the flavours it writes and reads — GitHub
Flavored Markdown's alerts and task lists, Obsidian Flavored Markdown's callouts — so a search for
any of these names finds the package.
### 34. Read emphasis flanking by the whole character beside an astral symbol.
Check whether `line-escaping.ts`'s `charAt` and the parser's flanking read one UTF-16 unit beside an
astral symbol — a lone surrogate is neither punctuation nor symbol, where CommonMark reads `😀` as
punctuation — and, where they do, read the code point, with a fixture per direction.
### 42. Trim a text leaf's trailing blanks in linear time.
`plain/inline-reduction.ts`'s `leafEdges` finds the trail with an unanchored `/[ \t]*$/`, quadratic
in a run of blanks inside one leaf: a paragraph of `a`, 80 000 spaces, `b` takes 6.5 s in
`adfToPlainMarkdown`. Scan backward, as the expand title's trim does.
### 48. Keep the release path publishing past npm's bypass-2FA token retirement.
Lands after 2027-01-01, or after a release run fails on the token, whichever comes first: the
maintainer chose on 2026-10-02 to wait and see whether the retirement bites. It holds back no
release: when the rest of its release is done, it moves to the next. `0.1.0` published only once the
npm token carried **Bypass 2FA**: the account requiring no 2FA on writes was not enough, and npm
answered `EOTP` until the token itself bypassed. npm retires bypass-2FA tokens for direct publishing
around January 2027, leaving them `npm stage publish`, which a maintainer approves with 2FA; its
replacement — trusted publishing over OIDC — supports GitHub-hosted Actions, GitLab.com's shared
runners and CircleCI's cloud, self-hosted runners planned without a date. Revisit: whether npm has
added Gitea or self-hosted OIDC, and otherwise whether the release moves to the staged publish —
which fits badly with publish-on-merge, and is the maintainer's trade to weigh. The Goals and G
cells are provisional: no README goal covers the release path.

kB.
### 69. Decide whether `adfToPlainMarkdown` keeps a text node's `content`, and keep it or name the drop in the README.
`nodeLeaves` (`plain/inline-reduction.ts`) keeps only a text node's `text`, so
`{ text: 'a', content: [{ text: 'kept', type: 'text' }] }` writes `a`, though `toEditorNormal`
keeps that content (`plain/editor-normal.ts`) and an unknown node's children keep their text.
Atlassian's schema allows no `content` on a text node, so no Atlassian reader saw it; an
export/indexing tool fed a looser producer loses searchable text. Goal 6 reads two ways here: keep
the children's text as an unknown node's, or name the drop in the README's plain section. Found by
