Yadda 3.0.0 modernizes to Node-only, adds TypeScript definitions, and was largely written by Claude Code.

Yadda 3.0.0 is Node-only, removing browser bundling and obsolete integrations such as CasperJS, PhantomJS, Bower, and Component.
The release modernizes to ES6, moves tests to node:test, adopts Biome and lefthook, and adds TypeScript definitions.
Claude Code with Opus 4.8 wrote most of the code, with the human making few interventions, completing the work in about a day.
