# Description of Changes
Currently, the `tsconfig.json` file enforces strict type checking, but
nothing in CI checks that the code is actually correctly typed. [Vite
only transpiles TypeScript
code](https://vite.dev/guide/features.html#transpile-only) so doesn't
ensure that the TS code we're running is correct.
This PR adds running of the type checker to CI and fixes the type errors
that have already crept into the codebase.
Note that many of the changes I've made to 'fix the types' are just
using `any` to disable the type checker because the code is under too
much churn to fix anything properly at the moment. I still think
enabling the type checker now is the best course of action though
because otherwise we'll never be able to fix all of them, and it should
at least help us not break things when adding new code.

🎯 Smart File Filtering
- Modal shows only supported file types based on selected tool
- Visual indicators for unsupported files (grayed out + badges)
- Automatic duplicate detection
✨ Enhanced UX
- Files button shows active state when modal is open
- Consistent upload experience across all tools
- Professional modal workflow
Architecture
New Components
FilesModalProvider → FileUploadModal → Tool-aware filtering
Button System Redesign
type: 'navigation' | 'modal' | 'action'
// Only navigation buttons stay active
// Modal buttons show active when modal open
Files Changed
- ✅ QuickAccessBar.tsx - Added Files button
- ✅ FileUploadModal.tsx - New tool-aware modal
- ✅ HomePage.tsx - Integrated modal system
- ✅ ConvertE2E.spec.ts - Updated tests for modal workflow
Benefits
- Unified UX: One place to upload files
- Smart Filtering: Only see relevant file types
- Better Architecture: Clean separation of concerns
- Improved Testing: Reliable test automation
Migration: File uploads now go through Files button → modal instead of
direct inputs. All existing functionality preserved.
