Centralize repeated UI logic and prefer modern, consistent JS style. When you see duplicated logic, ad-hoc class strings, local copies of global state, or repeated boolean checks, extract them into small, well-named helpers (or model/computed methods) and apply consistent ES/React idioms.

Why: centralization improves readability, reduces bugs from divergence, and makes code easier to test and reuse. Using modern patterns (const, for-of, classname helpers) keeps code concise and consistent.

Actionable checklist:

• Use a class-name helper (cn/clsx) to compose classes and avoid manual string concatenation: // from discussion // bad: className={tab-bar-wrapper${autoHideTabsBar ? '-auto-hide' : ''}} // better: className={cn(‘tab-bar-wrapper’, { ‘tab-bar-wrapper-auto-hide’: autoHideTabsBar })} // and avoid unnecessary fallbacks: className={cn(‘wave-dropdown’, className)}

• Extract repeated UI/focus/keybinding logic into model methods or computed helpers so callers just ask the model for intent: // suggested pattern // inputModel.ts isAuxViewFocused(auxView: InputAuxViewType) { return GlobalModel.inputModel.hasFocus() || (GlobalModel.getActiveScreen().getFocusType() === ‘input’ && GlobalModel.activeMainView.get() === ‘session’ && GlobalModel.inputModel.getActiveAuxView() === auxView); }

  // consumer const isHistoryFocused = GlobalModel.inputModel.isAuxViewFocused(InputAuxView_History);

• Prefer modern, immutable declarations and iteration:
  • Use const for variables that are not reassigned (e.g., const tab = ..., const elem = this.iconRef.current).
  • Prefer for (const item of array) or array helpers over C-style loops.

• Don’t merge arrays when handling logic differs. Either iterate separately or normalize behavior first; merging is fine only when the processing is identical.

• Keep local component state minimal. If global/shared state already tracks a value (focus, mode, etc.), reuse it instead of duplicating.

Examples from discussions:

• Class composition: className={cn(‘wave-dropdown’, className)} (no || '')
• Focus logic: move to inputModel.isAuxViewFocused(auxView)
• Iteration/style: use for (const tab of this.options) and const instead of let and C-style loops

Apply this rule in reviews: if you see repeated logic, ad-hoc string building, or duplicated state, request extraction to a helper or model and enforce const/for-of/cn usage for consistency.
