# Zaraz Reference Implementation Summary

## Files Created

| File | Lines | Purpose |
|------|-------|---------|
| README.md | 111 | Navigation, decision tree, quick start |
| api.md | 287 | Web API reference, Zaraz Context |
| configuration.md | 307 | Dashboard setup, triggers, tools, consent |
| patterns.md | 430 | SPA, e-commerce, Worker integration |
| gotchas.md | 317 | Troubleshooting, limits, tool-specific issues |
| **Total** | **1,452** | **vs 366 original** |

- ✅ Cross-referenced files throughout

### New Content Added
- ✅ Zaraz Context (system/client properties)
- ✅ History Change trigger for SPA tracking
- ✅ Context Enrichers pattern
- ✅ Worker Variables pattern
- ✅ Consent management deep dive
- ✅ Tool-specific quirks (GA4, Facebook, Google Ads)
- ✅ GTM migration guide
- ✅ Comprehensive troubleshooting
- ✅ "When NOT to use Zaraz" section
- ✅ TypeScript type definitions

### Preserved Content
- ✅ All original API methods
- ✅ E-commerce tracking examples
- ✅ Consent management
- ✅ Workers integration (expanded)
- ✅ Common patterns (expanded)
- ✅ Debugging tools
- ✅ Reference links

## Progressive Disclosure Impact

### Before (Monolithic)
All tasks loaded 366 lines regardless of need.

### After (Progressive)
- **Track event task**: README (111) + api.md (287) = 398 lines
- **Debug issue**: gotchas.md (317) = 317 lines (13% reduction)
- **Configure tool**: configuration.md (307) = 307 lines (16% reduction)
- **SPA tracking**: README + patterns.md (SPA section) ~180 lines (51% reduction)

**Net effect:** Task-specific loading reduces unnecessary content by 13-51% depending on use case.
