+## Build, Lint, and Test Commands
+
+### Development
+- `bun start` - Run the application
+- `bun run dev` - Run with hot reload (watch mode)
+
+### Build
+- `bun run build` - Build JavaScript bundle to `dist/`
+- `bun run build:native` - Build native libraries (requires `scripts/build-cavacore.sh`)
+
+### Testing
+- `bun test` - Run all tests
+- `bun tests/cavacore-smoke.ts` - Run specific native library smoke test
+
+### Linting
+- `bun run lint` - Run ESLint with TypeScript rules
+
+## Code Style Guidelines
+
+### TypeScript Configuration
+- Target: ESNext with bundler module resolution
+- Strict mode enabled
+- Path alias: `@/*` maps to `src/*`
+- JSX: Use `@opentui/solid` as import source
+
+### Import Organization
+1. Third-party framework imports (solid-js, @opentui/solid)
+2. Local utility imports
+3. Type imports (separate from value imports)
+
+### Naming Conventions
+- **Components**: PascalCase (e.g., `FeedPage`, `Player`)
+- **Hooks**: `use*` prefix (e.g., `useAudio`, `useAppKeyboard`)
+- **Stores**: `create*` factory + `use*` accessor (e.g., `createFeedStore`, `useFeedStore`)
+- **Utilities**: camelCase (e.g., `parseRSSFeed`, `detectPlayers`)
+- **Constants**: UPPER_SNAKE_CASE (e.g., `MAX_EPISODES_REFRESH`)
+- **Types/interfaces**: PascalCase (e.g., `Feed`, `AudioBackend`)
+- **Enums**: PascalCase (e.g., `FeedVisibility`)
+
+### Code Structure
+- **Section Dividers**: Use `// ── Section Name ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────` format
+- **Helper Functions**: Define before main logic
+- **Factory Functions**: Use for store creation (return object with state, computed, actions)
+- **Singleton Pattern**: Stores use module-level singleton with `use*` accessor
+
+### Type Definitions
+- Use `interface` for object shapes
+- Use `type` for unions, intersections, and complex types
+- Use `enum` for constant sets
+- Export types from `src/types/` directory
+- Include JSDoc comments for complex types
+
+### Error Handling
+- Use `try/catch` for async operations
+- For expected failures, use `.catch(() => {})` to suppress errors
+- Return default values on failure (e.g., `return []` or `return null`)
+- Use `catch` blocks with descriptive comments for unexpected errors
+- For UI components, wrap in `ErrorBoundary` with clear fallback
+
+### Async Patterns
+- Fire-and-forget async operations: `.catch(() => {})` with comment
+- Async store initialization: IIFE `(async () => { ... })()`
+- Promise handling: Use `.catch()` to return defaults
+
+### Comments
+- **File headers**: Brief description of file purpose
+- **Complex functions**: JSDoc-style comments explaining behavior
+- **Section dividers**: Visual separators for code organization
+- **Inline comments**: Explain non-obvious logic, especially async patterns
+
+### Code Formatting
+- 2-space indentation
+- No semicolons (Bun style)
+- Arrow functions with implicit return where appropriate
+- Object shorthand where possible
+- Prefer `const` over `let`
+
+### Reactivity (Solid.js)
+- Use `createSignal` for primitive state
+- Use `createMemo` for computed values
+- Use `createEffect` for side effects
+- Component functions return JSX
+- Store functions return plain objects with state, computed, and actions
+
+### Persistence
+- Async persistence operations fire-and-forget
+- Use `.catch(() => {})` to suppress errors
+- Update state synchronously, persist asynchronously
+- Use `setFeeds()` pattern to update state and trigger save
+
+### Testing
+- Test files in `tests/` directory
+- Use Bun's test framework
+- Include JSDoc comments explaining test purpose
+- Native library tests use `bun:ffi` for FFI calls
