refactor(utils): migrate parsing and formatting utilities from Flow t…

[bonchevskyi]

Summary

This PR migrates a disjoint subset of src/utils from Flow (.js) to TypeScript (.ts). It is intentionally scoped to avoid merge conflicts with other utils migration PRs.

Migrated utilities

• base64
• comparator
• download
• env
• hex
• keys
• parseCSV
• parseEmails
• performance
• relativeTime
• sleep
• storybook
• url

Contract

• Declared Flow contract and runtime behavior preserved (exports, signatures, and logic unchanged relative to the previous .js sources)

Related

• Disjoint from utils batch 1 (Browser, Cache, LocalStore, TokenService) and batch 2 (webcrypto, error, file, function, flatten, fuzzySearch, domPolyfill, getFileSize, validators)

Walkthrough

The pull request adds utility modules for data conversion, parsing, browser operations, keyboard handling, sorting, timing, URLs, and environment detection. It also updates logger test mocking and related Flow JSDoc types.

Changes

Utility Expansion

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Conversion and parsing helpers src/utils/base64.ts, src/utils/hex.ts, src/utils/parseCSV.ts, src/utils/parseEmails.ts	Adds hexadecimal-to-Base64 conversion, byte-array-to-hex conversion, CSV parsing, email parsing, and external-user detection.
Browser and runtime helpers src/utils/download.ts, src/utils/download.js.flow, src/utils/performance.ts, src/utils/env.ts, src/utils/sleep.ts, src/utils/storybook.ts, src/elements/common/logger/__tests__/Logger.test.js	Adds download, clipboard, performance-marking, environment, sleep, and Storybook DOM helpers. Updates related JSDoc types and logger test mocks.
Interaction and time helpers src/utils/keys.ts, src/utils/relativeTime.ts, src/utils/url.ts	Adds keyboard event decoding, relative-time calculation, and query-parameter updates.
Cached item sorting src/utils/comparator.ts	Adds sorting by cached item metadata and fixed type ordering.

Development builds skip intended validation, and unusually long malformed email input can temporarily freeze the browser. Both fixes are localized and should be addressed before relying on these utilities broadly.

Review

Looks good — another careful, scoped Flow → TypeScript migration of utils with no intentional public API or runtime behavior changes that I can see.

What I checked

• Compared each .ts implementation against the prior Flow/JS sources (base64, comparator, download, env, hex, keys, parseCSV, parseEmails, performance, relativeTime, sleep, storybook, url)
• Export shapes (default vs named) match the previous modules
• .js.flow stubs retained for remaining Flow importers; download.js.flow JSDoc String → string is cosmetic only
• Test renames (.js → .ts) and the Logger performance mock update look appropriate
• Scope is disjoint from the earlier utils batches as described

Notes (non-blocking)

1. env.ts wraps the result in Boolean(...) — original could short-circuit to a non-boolean falsy (process / process.env). Call sites treating this as a boolean are fine; this is a typing hardening, not a behavior change in practice.
2. keys.decode uses a structural event type instead of KeyboardEvent | React.KeyboardEvent, with a TODO to restore the union later. Runtime reads are unchanged; the looser type matches how tests pass partial event objects and avoids the old $FlowFixMe for keyIdentifier.
3. base64 uses as unknown as number[] for String.fromCharCode.apply — a TypeScript friction point, same runtime as before.
4. CI: lint_test_build (and CodeRabbit / semgrep) were still in progress at review time. Approving on code review; please confirm required checks stay green before merge.

No material correctness, typing, or test regressions found for a behavior-preserving migration. Approved.

Review

Looks good — a careful, scoped Flow → TypeScript migration of these parsing/formatting utils with no intentional public API or runtime behavior changes that I can see.

What I checked

• Compared each .ts implementation against the prior Flow/JS sources on master (base64, comparator, download, env, hex, keys, parseCSV, parseEmails, performance, relativeTime, sleep, storybook, url)
• Export shapes (default vs named) and control flow match the previous modules
• .js.flow stubs retained for remaining Flow importers; only cosmetic String → string JSDoc on download.js.flow
• Existing unit tests renamed .js → .ts with no logic changes (base64, env, keys, parseCSV, parseEmails, relativeTime)
• Scope is disjoint from batch 1 (Browser / Cache / LocalStore / TokenService) and batch 2 (webcrypto / error / file / …) as claimed

Notes (non-blocking)

1. env.ts wraps the predicate in Boolean(...). Master returned the raw process && process.env && (…), which is boolean-ish but not always a strict boolean. The wrap matches the declared : boolean / prior JSDoc intent and is fine for callers (existing test still uses toBeTruthy()).
2. keys.ts uses a structural event type (with a TODO) instead of KeyboardEvent | React.KeyboardEvent, so Safari keyIdentifier and partial test fixtures type-check without $FlowFixMe. Slightly looser at the boundary; runtime decode logic is unchanged.
3. Logger.test.js inlines a performance mock factory that duplicates src/utils/__mocks__/performance.js. Harmless; if the manual mock still resolves against performance.ts, the simpler jest.mock('../../../../utils/performance') would suffice.
4. base64.ts as unknown as number[] on the split result is the minimal cast needed for String.fromCharCode.apply under TS — same runtime path as Flow.
5. CI: lint_test_build was still in progress at review time (setup / lint_pull_request / Socket / CLA green). Approving on code review; please confirm required checks stay green before merge.

No material correctness, typing, export-signature, or test regressions found for a behavior-preserving migration. Approved.

Inline comments:
In `@src/utils/env.ts`:
- Line 3: Update isDevEnvironment() to recognize NODE_ENV values "test" and
"development", replacing the current "dev" check so FormattedCompMessage enables
development-only validation for configured development builds.

In `@src/utils/parseEmails.ts`:
- Line 15: Update the email matcher in the parseEmails flow to prevent quadratic
backtracking on repeated-@ non-matching input by excluding @ from the character
class before the required @ separator. Preserve the existing matching behavior
and case-insensitive global extraction.
