Developer Experience: DevTools, hot reload, and Storybook integration #65

Description

@jhs

Overview

Enhance developer experience with modern tooling for Chatfield development.

Proposed Features

1. DevTools Integration

  • Browser extension or in-app devtools for inspecting interview state
  • Visualize conversation flow and field collection status
  • Debug LangGraph state machine transitions
  • Inspect LLM prompts and responses

2. Hot Module Replacement (HMR)

  • Fast refresh for interview definition changes
  • Preserve conversation state during development
  • Works with Vite, Next.js, and other modern bundlers

3. Storybook Integration

  • Component library for React components
  • Interactive documentation
  • Visual regression testing
  • Example interview scenarios

Implementation Notes

  • Start with Storybook as lowest-hanging fruit
  • HMR already works with standard bundlers, may just need documentation
  • DevTools would be most complex but highest value

Scope

  • TypeScript/React focus initially
  • Browser-based tooling
  • Documentation and examples
