Summary

Refactored internal implementation to follow Ruby gem best practices without changing public API or functionality. All existing tests pass (9/9).

Changes

Added

  • lib/typewrite/version.rb with VERSION constant (single source of truth)
  • frozen_string_literal: true pragma to all Ruby files
  • Comprehensive YARD documentation for public API
  • Modern RubyGems metadata (MFA requirement, changelog URI, bug tracker URI)
  • required_ruby_version >= 3.0.0 specification

Updated

  • Converted class Typewritemodule Typewrite (backwards compatible)
  • Extracted PUNCTUATION constant (no longer recreated each iteration)
  • Replaced split('').each with idiomatic each_char
  • Gemspec block variable sspec (Ruby convention)
  • Gemspec file list to use git ls-files pattern
  • Fixed awkward line break in homepage URL

Benefits

  • Performance: PUNCTUATION constant created once instead of per character
  • Maintainability: Version managed in single location
  • Documentation: YARD comments enable auto-generated docs
  • Security: MFA requirement for gem publishing
  • Standards: Modern gemspec patterns and comprehensive metadata

Test Plan

  • All 9 RSpec tests pass
  • Gem builds successfully (gem build typewrite.gemspec)
  • Runtime behavior verified (Typewrite.write works identically)
  • VERSION constant accessible (Typewrite::VERSION)
  • Public API unchanged (backwards compatible)

Notes

The class → module change is fully backwards compatible. Typewrite.write still works exactly as before.

Refactored internal implementation to follow Ruby gem best practices
without changing public API or functionality. All existing tests pass.

**Technical Changes:**
- Extracted VERSION constant to lib/typewrite/version.rb (single source
  of truth)
- Converted class to module (idiomatic for utility gems, backwards
  compatible)
- Extracted PUNCTUATION constant to avoid array recreation on each
  iteration
- Replaced split('').each with more idiomatic each_char
- Added frozen_string_literal pragma to all Ruby files
- Added comprehensive YARD documentation for public API

**Gemspec Improvements:**
- Renamed block variable s → spec (Ruby convention)
- Added required_ruby_version >= 3.0.0
- Added modern RubyGems metadata (MFA, changelog, bug tracker URIs)
- Implemented git ls-files pattern for file list
- Fixed awkward line break in homepage URL

**Benefits:**
- More efficient: PUNCTUATION constant created once, not per character
- Better maintainability: Version managed in single location
- Professional documentation: YARD comments enable auto-generated docs
- Improved security: MFA requirement for gem publishing
- Future-proof: Modern gemspec patterns and metadata
