---

### 2. Implemented History/Undo Functionality ✅

#### HistoryContext Implementation

**File**: `src/contexts/HistoryContext.tsx` (240 lines)

**Features**:
- **State History Stack**:
  - Past states array (undo stack)
  - Present state (current)
  - Future states array (redo stack)
  - Configurable max history size (default: 50 entries)

- **Action Creators**:
  - `pushHistory(state, action)` - Add new state to history
  - `undo()` - Revert to previous state
  - `redo()` - Move forward to next state
  - `clearHistory()` - Reset all history
  - `jumpToEntry(index)` - Jump to specific history point

- **State Queries**:
  - `canUndo` / `canRedo` - Check if undo/redo available
  - `historySize` - Total number of history entries
  - `currentEntry` - Current state with metadata
  - `getPastEntries()` - Get list of past states
  - `getFutureEntries()` - Get list of future states

- **Metadata Tracking**:
  ```typescript
  interface HistoryEntry<T> {
    state: T;
    action: string;        // Human-readable action name
    timestamp: Date;       // When action occurred
  }
  ```

- **Callback Support**:
  - `onStateChange` prop for parent notification
  - Automatic state change propagation

#### Keyboard Shortcuts Hook

**Hook**: `useHistoryKeyboard()`

**Supported Shortcuts**:
- **Ctrl+Z / Cmd+Z** → Undo
- **Ctrl+Shift+Z / Cmd+Shift+Z** → Redo
- **Ctrl+Y / Cmd+Y** → Redo (alternative)

**Features**:
- Cross-platform (Windows/Mac)
- Prevents default browser behavior
- Only triggers when undo/redo available

#### History Panel UI Component

**File**: `src/components/history/HistoryPanel.tsx` (87 lines)

**Features**:
- **Timeline Visualization**:
  - Past entries (grayed out)
  - Current entry (highlighted in blue)
  - Future entries (dimmed)
  - Vertical timeline with connectors

- **Interactive Controls**:
  - Undo button (with keyboard hint)
  - Redo button (with keyboard hint)
  - Clear history button (danger style)
  - Click on any entry to jump to that state

- **Entry Display**:
  - Action name
  - Timestamp (HH:MM:SS format)
  - Visual markers (dots on timeline)
  - Color coding by state (past/present/future)

**Styling**: `src/components/history/HistoryPanel.css` (237 lines)
- Responsive design
- Dark mode support
- Smooth transitions
- Hover effects
- Accessibility-friendly

### 3. Comprehensive Test Coverage ✅

**Test File**: `tests/unit/history-context.test.tsx` (291 lines)

**16 Test Cases** - All Passing ✅:

1. ✅ Initialize with no history
2. ✅ Initialize with initial state
3. ✅ Push new state to history
4. ✅ Undo to previous state
5. ✅ Redo to next state
6. ✅ Return null when undoing with no past
7. ✅ Return null when redoing with no future
8. ✅ Clear future when new action is pushed
9. ✅ Clear all history
10. ✅ Jump to specific entry
11. ✅ Return null when jumping to invalid index
12. ✅ Respect max history size
13. ✅ Get past and future entries
14. ✅ Call onStateChange when state changes
15. ✅ Throw error when useHistory called outside provider
16. ✅ Handle keyboard shortcuts for undo/redo

**Test Coverage**:
- All state operations
- Edge cases (empty history, invalid indices)
- History size limits
- Callback integration
- Keyboard event handling
- Error handling

## Technical Highlights

### Immutable State Management

The HistoryContext uses **immutable state updates** for safe undo/redo:

```typescript
const undo = () => {
  const previous = history.past[history.past.length - 1];
  const newPast = history.past.slice(0, -1);
  
  setHistory({
    past: newPast,
    present: previous,
    future: [history.present, ...history.future]  // Preserve current state
  });
};
```

### Generic Type Support

Full TypeScript generics support for any state type:

```typescript
interface HistoryContextValue<T = any> {
  pushHistory: (state: T, action: string) => void;
  undo: () => T | null;
  redo: () => T | null;
  // ...
}

// Usage
const graphHistory = useHistory<GraphData>();
const filterHistory = useHistory<FilterState>();
```

### Memory Management

Automatic history size limiting to prevent memory leaks:

```typescript
const newPast = prev.present
  ? [...prev.past, prev.present].slice(-maxHistorySize)
  : prev.past;
```

## Phase 3 Progress Tracker

**Phase 3: State Management & Routing (57% Complete)**

## Integration Example

How to use History with GraphContext:

```typescript
import { HistoryProvider, useHistory } from '@/contexts/HistoryContext';
import { GraphProvider, useGraph } from '@/contexts/GraphContext';

// Wrap app with both providers
<HistoryProvider<GraphData> initialState={null}>
  <GraphProvider>
    <App />
  </GraphProvider>
</HistoryProvider>

// In a component
function GraphEditor() {
  const { graphData, setGraphData } = useGraph();
  const { pushHistory, undo, redo } = useHistory<GraphData>();
  useHistoryKeyboard();  // Enable keyboard shortcuts
  
  const handleDataChange = (newData: GraphData) => {
    pushHistory(graphData, 'Update graph');
    setGraphData(newData);
  };
  
  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={undo}>Undo</button>
      <button onClick={redo}>Redo</button>
      <HistoryPanel />
    </>
  );
}
```

- State hydration on load
- Settings UI

### Task 6: Advanced Query Builder (8-10 hours)
- Visual SPARQL query builder
- Triple pattern builder UI
- Query templates
- Syntax highlighting

### Task 7: SPARQL Query Execution (6-8 hours)
- SPARQL endpoint integration
- Query result parsing
- Result visualization

**Estimated Time Remaining**: 17-22 hours (~2-3 days)

## Key Design Decisions

1. **Generic History Context**: Supports any state type, not just graph data
2. **Configurable History Size**: Prevents memory leaks with large state objects
3. **Metadata Tracking**: Each entry includes action name and timestamp
4. **Keyboard Shortcuts**: Standard undo/redo shortcuts (Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Shift+Z)
5. **Visual Timeline**: UI shows past, present, and future states clearly
6. **Jump to Any State**: Users can click any history entry to jump there
7. **Immutable Updates**: Safe state management without mutations

---

## Testing Strategy

Used Test-Driven Development (TDD) principles:
1. Wrote comprehensive test suite (16 tests)
2. Covered happy paths and edge cases
3. Tested React hook behavior with renderHook
4. Simulated keyboard events
5. Fixed test timing issues with proper `act()` wrapping
6. Achieved 100% test pass rate

- **Code Documentation**: All functions have JSDoc comments
- **Type Definitions**: Full TypeScript interfaces
- **Usage Examples**: Inline code examples in this summary
