## One-liner

TimelineSvg is a client-side, browser-based tool that generates multi-lane SVG timeline graphics from CSV data using an Inkscape-editable SVG template system with no backend or build pipeline.

## Core Idea

timeline-svg exists to provide the capability described in INTENT.md.

## In Scope

- Parsing CSV data into timeline items with configurable field mappings
- Rendering multi-lane SVG timelines via a template-v2 (DOM-based) architecture
- Supporting Inkscape/Illustrator/Figma-editable SVG templates with placeholder substitution
- Providing a browser UI (index.html/engine.js) for loading projects, previewing, and exporting SVGs
- In-browser inline file editing with modification tracking
- Vitest-based test suite covering generator, engine, and integration flows
- Distribution packaging (make dist/dist-zip) for offline/Windows deployment

## Out of Scope

- Server-side or backend processing (fully client-side by design)
- Build pipeline or bundler-based tooling
- Non-timeline visualization types (e.g., Gantt-specific scheduling logic beyond basic lanes/items)
- Authentication, multi-user collaboration, or persistence beyond local files
