Alvis f1d51b8cc8 Add side panels, task selection, graph animation, and project docs
- Foldable left panel (user profile) and right panel (task details)
- Clicking a task in the list or graph node selects it and shows details
- Both views (task list + graph) always mounted via absolute inset-0 for
  correct canvas dimensions; tabs toggle visibility with opacity
- Graph node selection animation: other nodes repel outward (charge -600),
  then selected node smoothly slides to center (500ms cubic ease-out),
  then charge restores to -120 and graph stabilizes
- Graph re-fits on tab switch and panel resize via ResizeObserver
- Fix UUID string IDs throughout (backend returns UUIDs, not integers)
- Add TaskDetailPanel, UserPanel components
- Add CLAUDE.md project documentation

Determine the Encoding of a HTML Byte Stream

This package implements the HTML Standard's encoding sniffing algorithm in all its glory. The most interesting part of this is how it pre-scans the first 1024 bytes in order to search for certain <meta charset>-related patterns.

const htmlEncodingSniffer = require("html-encoding-sniffer");
const fs = require("fs");

const htmlBytes = fs.readFileSync("./html-page.html");
const sniffedEncoding = htmlEncodingSniffer(htmlBytes);

The passed bytes are given as a Uint8Array; the Node.js Buffer subclass of Uint8Array will also work, as shown above.

The returned value will be a canonical encoding name (not a label). You might then combine this with the whatwg-encoding package to decode the result:

const whatwgEncoding = require("whatwg-encoding");
const htmlString = whatwgEncoding.decode(htmlBytes, sniffedEncoding);

Options

You can pass two potential options to htmlEncodingSniffer:

const sniffedEncoding = htmlEncodingSniffer(htmlBytes, {
  transportLayerEncodingLabel,
  defaultEncoding
});

These represent two possible inputs into the encoding sniffing algorithm:

  • transportLayerEncodingLabel is an encoding label that is obtained from the "transport layer" (probably a HTTP Content-Type header), which overrides everything but a BOM.
  • defaultEncoding is the ultimate fallback encoding used if no valid encoding is supplied by the transport layer, and no encoding is sniffed from the bytes. It defaults to "windows-1252", as recommended by the algorithm's table of suggested defaults for "All other locales" (including the en locale).

This package was originally based on the excellent work of @nicolashenry, in jsdom. It has since been pulled out into this separate package.
