Acceptance Criteria

  • StructureEntry in packages/transform/src/types.ts has a repeat field with count (modifier name), max (cap, default 10), filled (optional modifier name), element (template), and filledElement (optional template)
  • The engine's buildStructureElement generates count copies when repeat is present
  • When filled is specified, the first N elements get data-filled="true" (or use filledElement), the rest get data-filled="false" (or use element)
  • The max cap prevents runaway generation
  • Non-numeric or missing count values produce zero elements (no crash)
  • Unit tests cover: basic repetition, filled/unfilled split, max cap, edge cases (0, negative, non-numeric)
  • TypeScript compiles cleanly
  • All existing tests pass

Approach

  1. Add the repeat interface to StructureEntry in types
  2. In the engine's structure element building, detect repeat and generate child elements in a loop
  3. Read count and filled values from the modifier map (already resolved at that point)
  4. Apply the filled/unfilled logic
  5. Write tests
