+# Backport Checklist for Scaffolding Templates
+
+Changes tested in `/flutor` that need to be propagated to vue-skuilder template packages.
+
+**Note:** This document is self-contained. All necessary code examples and rationale are included below.
+
+## How to Use This Document
+
+1. **Copy this file** to the vue-skuilder monorepo for reference
+2. **Apply changes 1-6** to the template packages (standalone-ui, sk-contributor)
+3. **Test** using the testing checklist at the bottom
+4. **Ignore** the "Infrastructure Changes" section - those are already in the monorepo
+
+**Files to Update:**
+- `/packages/standalone-ui/vite.config.ts`
+- `/packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/index.ts`
+- `/packages/standalone-ui/src/main.ts`
+- `/packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/*QuestionView.vue` (all view components)
+- `/packages/sk-contributor/` (same files as above)
+- `/packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/README.md` (examples)
+
+## Context
+
+These fixes enable custom questions to work in both:
+- **Standalone mode** (`yarn dev`) - already worked
+- **Studio mode** (`yarn studio`) - now works after these fixes
+
+The root cause was a combination of:
+1. Browser unable to resolve bare imports in dynamically loaded modules
+2. Missing view component names for runtime lookup
+3. Side-effect import not running (views array staying empty)
+4. Incorrect views export format for studio-ui consumption
+
+## 1. Vite Config - External Dependencies & Terser
+**File:** `vite.config.ts`
+**Location:** Library build configuration
+**Change:**
+```typescript
+build: buildMode === 'library'
+  ? {
+      // ...
+      terserOptions: {
+        keep_classnames: true,
+        keep_fnames: true, // ADD: Preserve function names
+        mangle: {
+          properties: false, // ADD: Don't mangle static properties like seedData
+        },
+      },
+      rollupOptions: {
+        // CRITICAL: Do NOT externalize dependencies for studio mode
+        // Browser cannot resolve bare imports without import maps
+        external: [
+          // Leave empty - bundle everything for browser compatibility
+        ],
+      }
+    }
+```
+**Why:**
+- Terser options prevent minification from mangling static properties (seedData, views, dataShapes)
+- Empty externals array bundles all dependencies so browser can load the module without import maps
+- Previously tried externalizing to avoid duplication, but browser can't resolve `import { X } from "@vue-skuilder/courseware"` at runtime
+**Affects:**
+- `/packages/standalone-ui/vite.config.ts`
+- CLI template generation for new projects
+
+---
+
+## 2. Question Index - Views Export Format
+**File:** `src/questions/index.ts`
+**Location:** `allCustomQuestions()` function
+**Change:**
+```typescript
+// OLD (broken):
+const views: ViewComponent[] = [];
+questionClasses.forEach((questionClass) => {
+  if (questionClass.views) {
+    questionClass.views.forEach((view) => {
+      views.push(view);
+    });
+  }
+});
+
+// NEW (working):
+const views: Array<{ name: string; component: ViewComponent }> = [];
+questionClasses.forEach((questionClass) => {
+  if (questionClass.views) {
+    questionClass.views.forEach((view) => {
+      const viewName = (view as any).name || (view as any).__name;
+      if (viewName) {
+        if (!views.find((existing) => existing.name === viewName)) {
+          views.push({ name: viewName, component: view });
+        }
+      } else {
+        console.warn('[allCustomQuestions] View component missing name property:', view);
+      }
+    });
+  }
+});
+```
+**Why:** Studio-ui expects `{ name, component }` format (see studio-ui/src/main.ts:183-189)
+**Affects:**
+- `/packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/index.ts`
+- `/packages/sk-contributor/src/questions/index.ts`
+
+---
+
+## 3. Question Index - TypeScript Interface
+**File:** `src/questions/index.ts`
+**Location:** `CustomQuestionsExport` interface
+**Change:**
+```typescript
+export interface CustomQuestionsExport {
+  courses: CourseWare[];
+  questionClasses: Array<typeof Question>;
+  dataShapes: DataShape[];
+  views: Array<{ name: string; component: ViewComponent }>; // CHANGED from ViewComponent[]
+  inlineComponents: Record<string, any>;
+  meta: { /* ... */ };
+}
+```
+**Why:** Matches runtime format
+**Affects:**
+- `/packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/index.ts`
+- `/packages/sk-contributor/src/questions/index.ts`
+
+---
+
+## 4. Main.ts - Import Questions Index
+**File:** `src/main.ts`
+**Location:** Before `allCourseWare.courses.push(exampleCourse)`
+**Change:**
+```typescript
+// Import allCourseWare singleton and exampleCourse
+import { allCourseWare } from '@vue-skuilder/courseware';
+// Import from index.ts to ensure view setup code runs
+import './questions/index'; // ADD THIS LINE
+import { exampleCourse } from './questions/exampleCourse';
+```
+**Why:** Ensures static view setup runs before course registration
+**Affects:**
+- `/packages/standalone-ui/src/main.ts`
+- `/packages/sk-contributor/src/main.ts`
+
+---
+
+## 5. Question Class - Direct Inline Views
+**File:** `src/questions/MyQuestion.ts`
+**Location:** Question class static properties
+**Change:**
+```typescript
+// Import at top
+import { markRaw } from 'vue';
+import MyQuestionView from './MyQuestionView.vue';
+
+export class MyQuestion extends Question {
+  public static dataShapes = [/* ... */];
+
+  // Direct inline registration - no external setup needed
+  public static views = [markRaw(MyQuestionView)]; // CHANGED from empty array
+
+  // ...
+}
+```
+**Why:** Self-contained, works immediately, no fragile side-effects
+**Affects:**
+- Template examples in `/packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/README.md`
+- Template examples in `/packages/sk-contributor/src/questions/README.md`
+- Existing template questions (NumberRangeQuestion, etc.)
+
+---
+
+## 6. Vue Component - DefineOptions Name
+**File:** `src/questions/MyQuestionView.vue`
+**Location:** Script setup
+**Change:**
+```typescript
+<script setup lang="ts">
+import { defineOptions } from 'vue'; // ADD import
+
+defineOptions({
+  name: 'MyQuestionView' // ADD this block
+});
+
+// rest of setup...
+```
+**Why:** Vue components need explicit names for runtime lookup
+**Affects:**
+- All template Vue view components
+- README examples
+
+---
+
+## 7. Remove Index.ts Side-Effects (Future)
+**File:** `src/questions/index.ts`
+**Location:** Top-level code
+**Change:**
+```typescript
+// REMOVE these lines (views should be set in question files directly):
+// import SustainedNoteQuestionView from './SustainedNoteQuestionView.vue';
+// SustainedNoteQuestion.views = [markRaw(SustainedNoteQuestionView)];
+```
+**Why:** Side-effects are fragile; prefer direct inline registration
+**Status:** Deferred until all templates use Pattern 1
+**Affects:**
+- `/packages/standalone-ui/src/questions/index.ts`
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Priority
+
+### Phase 1 (Critical - Breaks studio mode)
+- [ ] #2: Fix views export format in index.ts
+- [ ] #3: Update TypeScript interface
+- [ ] #1: Add terser options to vite.config
+
+### Phase 2 (Important - Breaks runtime)
+- [ ] #4: Add index.ts import to main.ts
+- [ ] #6: Add defineOptions to all template Vue components
+
+### Phase 3 (Nice to have)
+- [ ] #5: Update documentation/examples to show direct inline pattern
+- [ ] #7: Remove side-effects from index.ts (future)
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+After backporting, verify:
+- [ ] `yarn dev` works (standalone mode)
+- [ ] `yarn studio` works (studio mode)
+- [ ] Custom questions appear in studio CreateCardView
+- [ ] Card creation works with custom DataShapes
+- [ ] Seed data registration doesn't error
+- [ ] Cards render correctly in both modes
+- [ ] Custom inline markdown components work
+
+## Infrastructure Changes (Already Done in Monorepo)
+
+**⚠️ You do NOT need to apply these changes - they are already in the monorepo codebase.**
+
+These were supporting infrastructure fixes made alongside the template changes:
+
+### CLI - studio.ts
+**File:** `/packages/cli/src/commands/studio.ts`
+**What changed:** Config import path updated when copying to dist
+```typescript
+// Line ~1147
+configContent.importPath = '/assets/questions.mjs'; // Absolute path from root
+```
+**Why:** Ensures browser can find the bundled questions module
+
+### Studio-UI - main.ts
+**File:** `/packages/studio-ui/src/main.ts`
+**What changed:**
+- Registers custom courses with `allCourseWare.courses.push(...customQuestions.courses)`
+- Added verbose debug logging for troubleshooting
+- Uses `/* @vite-ignore */` comment for dynamic import
+
+**Why:** Studio-ui now properly integrates custom courses into the singleton
