## Pull Requests Created

### PR #1: Fix Critical Bugs
**Branch:** `claude/fix-critical-bugs-01WG8iJBVFi4pxNgCga1ioUW`

#### Issues Fixed

1. **Missing useEffect Dependencies (High Priority)**
   - **File:** `src/lib/index.tsx:121-128`
   - **Issue:** `onIframeAdded` missing from dependency array causing potential stale closures
   - **Fix:** Wrapped in `useCallback` and added to dependencies
   - **Impact:** Prevents bugs with callback updates

2. **Missing useEffect Dependencies in Custom Hook (High Priority)**
   - **File:** `src/lib/useYoutubeThumbnail.tsx:26-42`
   - **Issue:** Missing `vi`, `format`, `imageRes` in dependency array
   - **Fix:** Added all dependencies
   - **Impact:** Thumbnail now updates correctly when format/resolution changes

3. **Conflicting Cookie Logic (Medium Priority)**
   - **File:** `src/lib/index.tsx:71-76`
   - **Issue:** First `noCookie` assignment immediately overwritten by `cookie` prop
   - **Fix:** Removed redundant code, simplified to single ternary
   - **Impact:** Cleaner code, removes confusion

4. **Deprecated frameBorder Attribute (Low Priority)**
   - **File:** `src/lib/index.tsx:172`
   - **Issue:** `frameBorder="0"` deprecated in React
   - **Fix:** Replaced with `style={{ border: 0 }}`
   - **Impact:** Follows React best practices, removes warnings

5. **Missing @deprecated JSDoc**
   - **File:** `src/lib/index.tsx:14`
   - **Fix:** Added `@deprecated` annotation to `noCookie` prop
   - **Impact:** Better TypeScript developer experience

#### Improvements

1. **Enhanced Props Table**
   - Added "Default" column showing all default values
   - Added missing `referrerPolicy` prop documentation
   - Marked `noCookie` as **⚠️ DEPRECATED** with clear warning
   - Improved formatting and descriptions
   - Better organized: required props first, then alphabetical

2. **Fixed Code Examples**
   - Corrected `YouTubeNew` → `LiteYouTubeEmbed` in line 121
   - Fixed demo using `cover` instead of `poster` prop

3. **Package Updates**
   - Added `coverage` script alias (referenced in CONTRIBUTING.md)
   - Updated `demo/package.json` from 2.4.0 → 2.5.6

4. **Improved Clarity**
   - Better type formatting for enums and unions
   - Enhanced descriptions for privacy-related props
   - Strengthened accessibility documentation

### PR #3: Performance Improvements
**Branch:** `claude/performance-improvements-01WG8iJBVFi4pxNgCga1ioUW`

#### Optimizations

1. **Memoized iframe Parameters**
   - **Before:** `URLSearchParams` recreated every render
   - **After:** `useMemo` with proper dependencies
   - **Dependencies:** `muted`, `autoplay`, `enableJsApi`, `playlist`, `videoId`, `params`

2. **Memoized YouTube URL**
   - **Before:** String comparison every render
   - **After:** `useMemo` based on `cookie` prop
   - **Benefit:** Avoids unnecessary string operations

3. **Memoized iframe Source**
   - **Before:** String concatenation every render
   - **After:** `useMemo` with URL and params dependencies
   - **Benefit:** Prevents URL reconstruction

4. **Memoized Poster URL**
   - **Before:** Complex URL construction every render
   - **After:** `useMemo` with all thumbnail dependencies
   - **Benefit:** Improves performance with dynamic thumbnails

**Performance Impact:**
- Reduces unnecessary computations during re-renders
- Maintains referential equality for child components
- Better performance for apps with frequent state updates

   ```

2. **Prettier Configuration** (`.prettierrc.json`)
   - 80 char line width
   - 2 space indentation
   - Semicolons, double quotes
   - Trailing commas (ES5)

3. **NPM Scripts Added**
   - `npm run lint` - Check linting errors

   - `npm run format` - Format with Prettier
   - `npm run format:check` - Check formatting

4. **Removed Outdated Configuration**
   - Deleted `jest.config.js` (using Vitest now)

5. **Optimized CI/CD Workflow**
   - Added npm cache for faster installs
   - Changed `npm install` → `npm ci` (reproducible builds)
   - Build artifacts now shared between jobs
   - Eliminated duplicate build in publish job
   - **Result:** Faster, more efficient pipeline

### PR #5: Accessibility Improvements
**Branch:** `claude/accessibility-improvements-01WG8iJBVFi4pxNgCga1ioUW`

#### Enhancements

   - Added `role="img"` to container when not activated
   - Added `aria-label` describing YouTube preview
   - Added `aria-hidden` to button when iframe active
   - Added `tabIndex={-1}` to prevent focus on hidden button

2. **Visually Hidden Text for Screen Readers**
   - Added `.lty-visually-hidden` CSS class
   - Span inside button with announce text
   - Accessible to screen readers, visually invisible
   - Follows WCAG guidelines

3. **Focus Management** (Optional)
   - New prop: `focusOnLoad?: boolean`
   - Automatically focuses iframe when loaded
   - Helps keyboard users maintain navigation context
   - Default: `false` (opt-in)

4. **Customizable Referrer Policy**
   - New prop: `referrerPolicy?: string`
   - Default: `"strict-origin-when-cross-origin"`

## Recommendations for Future

### Security
1. **Update Dependencies**

   - Add SECURITY.md for vulnerability reporting
   - Define support policy for versions

### Documentation
3. **Add Remaining README Sections**
   - Browser support matrix
   - Troubleshooting guide
   - Migration guide (v1→v2)
   - Performance metrics / Lighthouse scores
   - TypeScript usage examples

4. **API Documentation**
   - Consider generating TypeDoc documentation
   - Host on GitHub Pages

### Testing
5. **Expand Test Coverage**
   - Add accessibility tests (jest-axe)
   - Add visual regression tests
   - Test keyboard navigation flows

6. **Performance Testing**
   - Add bundle size tracking
   - Performance benchmarks vs native iframe

### Developer Experience
7. **Pre-commit Hooks**
   - Consider husky + lint-staged
   - Auto-format on commit
   - Run tests before push

8. **GitHub Actions**
   - Add automated PR checks (lint, test, build)
   - Automated dependency updates (Dependabot)
   - Automated release notes
