+## Development
+
+This project uses [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) for development assistance. Claude Code has contributed to the following improvements:
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- Fixed async `checkFile` bug that caused "Cannot read properties of undefined" errors
+
+### Code Quality & Type Safety
+- Enabled TypeScript strict mode with all type-checking options (`noImplicitAny`, `strictNullChecks`, `noUncheckedIndexedAccess`, etc.)
+- Added stricter ESLint rules with type-aware linting (`@typescript-eslint/no-floating-promises`, `@typescript-eslint/await-thenable`, etc.)
+- Fixed 35+ code quality issues identified by stricter type checking
+
+### Dependencies & Security
+- Updated all dependencies to latest stable versions:
+  - TypeScript 5.6+
+  - esbuild 0.25+ (with security patches)
+  - ESLint tooling v8+
+- Resolved all 7 security vulnerabilities
+
+### Build Commands
+- **Build for production**: `npm run build` - Runs TypeScript type checking and bundles with esbuild
+- **Development mode**: `npm run dev` - Runs esbuild in watch mode with auto-rebuild
+- **Version bump**: `npm run version` - Updates manifest.json and versions.json
+
 ## TODO
 
 - [ ] Add support for file and folder pattern rather than names
