+# Store Queue Simplification Plan
+
+> **STATUS: COMPLETED**
+>
+> Final result: ~405 LOC total (328 queue.ts + 77 task.ts) down from ~524 LOC.
+> Task types and guards extracted to separate `task.ts` module for better organization.
+
+## Overview
+
+Simplify the queue from ~524 LOC to ~200 LOC while preserving core value.
+
+**Goal:** Remove convenience features only used in tests/docs, keep what's essential for real-world async media operations.
+
+---
+
+## Why the Queue Exists
+
+The store design: **all writes are async requests**. This isn't optional — it's the architecture.
+
+```ts
+// Read path: sync state from target
+store.state.paused; // Synced from video.paused
+
+// Write path: async requests to target
+await store.request.play(); // Returns Promise, always
+```
+
+Media operations are inherently async and can fail:
+
+| Scenario               | What Can Happen                                     |
+| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Chromecast/AirPlay** | 100-500ms+ network round-trip, device disconnect    |
+| **Source loading**     | 1-5s+ load time, 404, DRM errors, codec unsupported |
+| **Quality switching**  | Segment fetching, ABR delays                        |
+| **Network conditions** | Timeouts, flaky connections                         |
+| **User behavior**      | Impatient clicks, changing mind mid-operation       |
+
+The queue handles these realities uniformly.
+
+---
+
+## Real-World Scenarios
+
+### Chromecast Play
+
+```ts
+// Command goes over network to Cast device
+await store.request.play();
+```
+
+**Without queue:**
+
+- How does UI show "Connecting..."?
+- User taps 5 times impatiently → 5 network messages?
+- Device disconnects mid-request → how to surface error?
+
+**With queue:**
+
+- `tasks['play'].status === 'pending'` → show loading
+- Supersession → only 1 message sent
+- `tasks['play'].status === 'error'` → show failure
+
+### Source Switching
+
+```ts
+// User browses playlist quickly
+store.request.setSource('a.mp4'); // Starts loading
+store.request.setSource('b.mp4'); // User changed mind
+store.request.setSource('c.mp4'); // Final choice
+```
+
+**Without queue:**
+
+- All three sources load simultaneously
+- Wasted bandwidth, race conditions
+- Which promise resolves? Which errors?
+
+**With queue:**
+
+- Supersession aborts a.mp4 and b.mp4
+- Only c.mp4 loads
+- Clean promise semantics (superseded reject with SUPERSEDED)
+
+### Network Failure
+
+```ts
+// Quality change needs segment fetch
+await store.request.setQuality('1080p');
+// Network times out
+```
+
+**Without queue:**
+
+- Component needs try/catch + useState for error
+- Every async operation repeats this boilerplate
+
+**With queue:**
+
+- `tasks['setQuality'].status === 'error'`
+- `tasks['setQuality'].error` contains details
+- `reset('setQuality')` + retry
+
+### Component Implementation Comparison
+
+**Without queue (manual):**
+
+```tsx
+function SourceSelector() {
+  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
+  const [error, setError] = useState(null);
+
+  const handleChange = async (src) => {
+    setLoading(true);
+    setError(null);
+    try {
+      await loadSource(src);
+    } catch (e) {
+      setError(e);
+    } finally {
+      setLoading(false);
+    }
+  };
+
+  return (
+    <>
+      <select disabled={loading} onChange={(e) => handleChange(e.target.value)} />
+      {loading && <Spinner />}
+      {error && <Error message={error.message} />}
+    </>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+**With queue:**
+
+```tsx
+function SourceSelector() {
+  const source = useMutation(store, 'setSource');
+
+  return (
+    <>
+      <select disabled={source.status === 'pending'} onChange={(e) => source.mutate(e.target.value)} />
+      {source.status === 'pending' && <Spinner />}
+      {source.status === 'error' && <Error message={source.error.message} />}
+    </>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Required Capabilities → Queue Features
+
+| Scenario                 | Required Capability    | Queue Feature                      |
+| ------------------------ | ---------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
+| Cast/AirPlay round-trip  | Loading indicator      | `tasks[name].status === 'pending'` |
+| Network/DRM failures     | Error display          | `tasks[name].status === 'error'`   |
+| User retry after failure | Error recovery         | `reset()` + re-request             |
+| Impatient clicks         | Prevent duplicate work | Supersession (same key)            |
+| User changes mind        | Cancel in-flight       | `abort()` + AbortSignal            |
+| Multiple operation types | Parallel execution     | Key-based coordination             |
+| Async completion         | Await result           | Promise API                        |
+| React/Lit integration    | Observe changes        | `subscribe()`                      |
+| Debug production issues  | Task visibility        | `tasks` record                     |
+
+---
+
+## What We Keep (And Why)
+
+### 1. Microtask Batching
+
+**Required for supersession to work.**
+
+```ts
+// User drags volume slider rapidly
+store.request.setVolume(0.3);
+store.request.setVolume(0.5);
+store.request.setVolume(0.7);
+// Without batching: all three handlers execute (race condition)
+// With batching: only 0.7 executes
+```
+
+Without batching, `target.volume = 0.3` runs before we know 0.5 is coming.
+
+### 2. Supersession (Same Key Cancels Previous)
+
+**Prevents race conditions on every slider, toggle, and rapid interaction.**
+
+```ts
+// Seek bar scrubbing
+store.request.seek(10); // User still dragging...
+store.request.seek(15); // Previous aborted
+store.request.seek(20); // Only this completes
+```
+
+```ts
+// Play/pause rapid toggle
+store.request.play(); // Queued
+store.request.pause(); // play() superseded
+store.request.play(); // pause() superseded — only final executes
+```
+
+Media Chrome lacks this — users implement manually or suffer bugs.
+
+### 3. AbortController Propagation
+
+**Graceful cancellation for long-running operations.**
+
+```ts
+async setSource(src, { signal }) {
+  target.src = src;
+  await onEvent(target, 'loadeddata', { signal }); // Aborted if new source
+}
+
+// User changes quality mid-load
+store.request.setSource('720p.mp4');  // Loading...
+store.request.setSource('1080p.mp4'); // 720p aborted, 1080p starts
+```
+
+- Prevents wasted bandwidth
+- Prevents stale responses updating state
+- Handlers can clean up resources on abort
+
+### 4. Lifecycle Tracking (pending/success/error)
+
+**Observability for UI and debugging.**
+
+```tsx
+// Loading state
+<select disabled={tasks['setSource']?.status === 'pending'}>
+
+// Error display
+{tasks['play']?.status === 'error' && <ErrorMessage />}
+```
+
+```ts
+// Debugging
+queue.subscribe((tasks) => {
+  console.table(
+    Object.entries(tasks).map(([name, t]) => ({
+      name,
+      status: t?.status,
+      duration: t?.settledAt ? t.settledAt - t.startedAt : '...',
+    }))
+  );
+});
+```
+
+```ts
+// Analytics
+queue.subscribe((tasks) => {
+  for (const [name, task] of Object.entries(tasks)) {
+    if (task?.status !== 'pending') {
+      analytics.track('request', { name, status: task.status });
+    }
+  }
+});
+```
+
+```ts
+// Global error handler
+queue.subscribe((tasks) => {
+  for (const task of Object.values(tasks)) {
+    if (task?.status === 'error' && !task.cancelled) {
+      toast.error(`${task.name} failed`);
+    }
+  }
+});
+```
+
+Without lifecycle tracking, every component tracks its own loading/error state.
+
+### 5. Subscribe
+
+**Required for React/Lit hook integration.**
+
+```ts
+// useMutation implementation
+const subscribe = (onStoreChange) =>
+  store.queue.subscribe((tasks) => {
+    if (tasks[name] !== taskRef.current) {
+      taskRef.current = tasks[name];
+      onStoreChange();
+    }
+  });
+```
+
+### 6. abort()
+
+**User/system cancellation.**
+
+```ts
+// Component unmount
+useEffect(() => () => store.queue.abort('setSource'), []);
+
+// User clicks "Cancel"
+<button onClick={() => store.queue.abort('upload')}>Cancel</button>
+
+// Navigation
+router.beforeEach(() => store.queue.abort());
+```
+
+### 7. reset()
+
+**Clear settled state.**
+
+```ts
+// Error persists after retry without reset
+store.request.play(); // Fails — tasks['play'].status === 'error'
+store.queue.reset('play'); // Clear error
+store.request.play(); // Fresh attempt
+```
+
+### 8. Meta Field
+
+**Low cost (~1 field), useful for debugging/analytics.**
+
+```ts
+store.request.play(null, { source: 'user', reason: 'play-button' });
+
+// In handler or subscriber
+console.log(task.meta?.source); // 'user' vs 'system'
+```
+
+---
+
+## What We Remove (And Why Safe)
+
+### 1. Configurable Schedulers (`delay()`, `raf()`, `idle()`)
+
+**~70 LOC saved.**
+
+- Only used in tests and docs
+- Use external debounce if needed: `debounce(store.request.seek, 100)`
+- Microtask is sufficient for supersession
+
+### 2. `flush()`
+
+**~15 LOC saved.**
+
+- Only meaningful with configurable schedulers
+- Tests can use `await Promise.resolve()` or `vi.runAllTimersAsync()`
+
+### 3. `cancel()`
+
+**~25 LOC saved.**
+
+- Redundant with `abort()`
+- `cancel()` only removes queued tasks
+- `abort()` handles both queued and pending
+
+### 4. `isPending()`, `isQueued()`, `isSettled()` Methods
+
+**~15 LOC saved from Queue class.**
+
+- Move to type guard utility functions (reusable, better type narrowing)
+- `isQueued()` removed entirely (meaningless with microtask scheduling)
+
+### 5. `queued` Getter
+
+**~10 LOC saved.**
+
+- With fixed microtask scheduling, queued state is ~0ms
+- By the time you check, it's already pending or gone
+- Internal implementation detail
+
+### 6. `onDispatch`, `onSettled` Hooks
+
+**~20 LOC saved.**
+
+- Only used in tests
+- Derive from `subscribe()`:
+  ```ts
+  queue.subscribe((tasks) => {
+    for (const [name, task] of Object.entries(tasks)) {
+      if (task?.status === 'pending') onDispatch(task);
+      if (task?.status !== 'pending') onSettled(task);
+    }
+  });
+  ```
+
+### 7. Config Object
+
+**~15 LOC saved.**
+
+- Only held `scheduler`, `onDispatch`, `onSettled`
+- All removed
+
+### 8. DOM Schedulers File
+
+**Delete `packages/store/src/dom/schedulers.ts` and `index.ts`.**
+
+- Only exported `raf()` and `idle()`
+- Nothing left after scheduler removal
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Changes
+
+### 1. Single Batched Microtask
+
+**Current:** Each `enqueue()` schedules its own microtask.
+
+```ts
+enqueue(task1) → queueMicrotask(flush1)
+enqueue(task2) → queueMicrotask(flush2)
+enqueue(task3) → queueMicrotask(flush3)
+// Three microtasks queued
+```
+
+**New:** Single microtask per sync batch.
+
+```ts
+#flushScheduled = false;
+
+enqueue(task) {
+  this.#queued.set(key, task);
+
+  if (!this.#flushScheduled) {
+    this.#flushScheduled = true;
+    queueMicrotask(() => {
+      this.#flushScheduled = false;
+      this.#flushAll();
+    });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Remove `schedule` Parameter
+
+```diff
+  interface QueueTask<...> {
+    name: string;
+    key: Key;
+    input?: Input;
+    meta?: RequestMeta | null;
+-   schedule?: TaskScheduler | undefined;
+    handler: (ctx: TaskContext<Input>) => Promise<Output>;
+  }
+```
+
+### 3. Simplified Constructor
+
+```diff
+- constructor(config: QueueConfig<Tasks> = {}) {
+-   this.#scheduler = config.scheduler ?? microtask;
+-   this.#onDispatch = tryCatch(config.onDispatch, logError);
+-   this.#onSettled = tryCatch(config.onSettled, logError);
+- }
++ constructor() {}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Final API Surface
+
+```ts
+interface Queue<Tasks> {
+  // State
+  readonly tasks: TasksRecord<Tasks>;
+  readonly destroyed: boolean;
+
+  // Core
+  enqueue<K extends keyof Tasks>(task: QueueTask<K>): Promise<Tasks[K]['output']>;
+
+  // Control
+  abort(name?: keyof Tasks): void;
+  reset(name?: keyof Tasks): void;
+  destroy(): void;
+
+  // Observe
+  subscribe(listener: QueueListener<Tasks>): () => void;
+}
+```
+
+---
+

+| Before                    | After                                       |
+| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |

+

+
+## Files to Change
+
+1. **`packages/store/src/core/queue.ts`** — Main simplification
+2. **`packages/store/src/core/tests/queue.test.ts`** — Remove tests for removed features
+3. **`packages/store/src/core/tests/queue.types.test.ts`** — Update type tests
+4. **`packages/store/src/dom/schedulers.ts`** — Delete
+5. **`packages/store/src/dom/index.ts`** — Delete (empty after scheduler removal)
+6. **`packages/store/src/dom/tests/schedulers.test.ts`** — Delete
+7. **`packages/store/src/core/index.ts`** — Remove scheduler exports
+8. **`packages/store/README.md`** — Update docs
+
+---
+
+## Type Changes
+
+Keep strong typing. Simplifications:
+
+```diff
+- export type TaskScheduler = (flush: () => void) => (() => void) | void;
+
+- export interface QueueConfig<Tasks extends TaskRecord = DefaultTaskRecord> {
+-   scheduler?: TaskScheduler;
+-   onDispatch?: ...;
+-   onSettled?: ...;
+- }
+
+- export interface QueuedTaskId<Key extends TaskKey = TaskKey> { ... }
+- export type PublicQueuedRecord<Tasks extends TaskRecord> = { ... }
+```
+
+Keep all Task types (`PendingTask`, `SuccessTask`, `ErrorTask`, etc.) — used by hooks.
+
+---
+
+## Estimated LOC
+
+| Section     | Current  | After    | Actual   |
+| ----------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
+| Types       | ~120     | ~80      | —        |
+| Schedulers  | ~30      | 0        | 0        |
+| Queue class | ~350     | ~120     | —        |
+| Factory     | ~10      | ~5       | —        |
+| **Total**   | **~524** | **~200** | **~405** |
+
+> **Note:** Final LOC higher than estimate because we kept more robust error handling,
+> comprehensive type exports, and extracted task types to a separate module for better organization.
+> The simplification goals were achieved — removed ~120 LOC of unnecessary features.
+
+---
+
+## Verification
+
+After implementation:
+
+1. `pnpm -F @videojs/store test` — All 310 tests pass
+2. `pnpm -F @videojs/store build` — Builds successfully
+3. `pnpm typecheck` — No type errors
+4. Hooks (`useMutation`, `useOptimistic`, `useTasks`) — Still work
+5. Examples — Still work
+
+---

+
+### Task Lifecycle
+
+Each request creates a task that transitions through states:
+
+```ts
+import { isErrorTask, isPendingTask, isSettledTask, isSuccessTask } from '@videojs/store';
+
+const task = queue.tasks.play;
+
+// Type guards for status checking
+if (isPendingTask(task)) {

+}
+
+if (isErrorTask(task)) {

+  console.log('Was cancelled:', task.cancelled);
+}
 ```
 
 ### Direct Queue Usage
@@ -587,18 +539,48 @@ queue.flush('play'); // execute specific request now
 You can use the queue directly without a store:
 
 ```ts
+import { createQueue } from '@videojs/store';
+
+const queue = createQueue();
+
 await queue.enqueue({
   name: 'myTask',
   key: 'task-key',
   input: { some: 'data' },

-  handler: async ({ signal }) => {
+  handler: async ({ input, signal }) => {
     // do work, check signal.aborted
     return result;
   },
 });
 ```
 
+### Observing Tasks
+
+Use `subscribe` to react to task changes—useful for loading states and error handling:
+
+```ts
+queue.subscribe((tasks) => {
+  for (const [name, task] of Object.entries(tasks)) {
+    if (task?.status === 'error' && !task.cancelled) {
+      toast.error(`${name} failed: ${task.error}`);
+    }
+  }
+});
+
+// Analytics
+queue.subscribe((tasks) => {
+  for (const task of Object.values(tasks)) {
+    if (task && task.status !== 'pending') {
+      analytics.track('request', {
+        name: task.name,
+        status: task.status,
+        duration: task.settledAt - task.startedAt,
+      });
+    }
+  }
+});
+```
