🧩 How to add a new transform

1. Define the transform in js/transforms.js inside the transforms object:

new_transform_key: {
    name: 'Human Friendly Name',
    // Optional: map for character ↔ character transforms
    map: { /* 'a': 'α', ... */ },
    // Required: encoding function
    func: function(text) { /* return transformed */ },
    // Optional but recommended: short, readable preview
    preview: function(text) { return this.func((text||'').slice(0, 3)) + '...'; },
    // Optional: reverse/decoder (enables universal decoder to use it directly)
    reverse: function(text) { /* return decoded */ }
}

2. Add it to a category in js/app.js under transformCategories so it shows in the UI, e.g.:

transformCategories: {
  cipher: ['Caesar Cipher', 'ROT13', 'Your New Transform']
}

3. If your transform uses a custom script or style (not simple ASCII substitutions), ensure the universal decoder can detect it. Add pattern detection or reverse mapping in universalDecode in js/app.js:

// Example: add to a check list
const customChecks = [{ name: 'Your New Transform', transform: 'your_key' }];
// build reverse map and try decoding if the input contains your characters

4. If you want it considered by the Randomizer, add its key to getRandomizableTransforms() in js/transforms.js.

5. Test it in test_transforms.html. Add a button and a simple test harness calling testTransform('your_key').

Tips:

• Keep preview() short to avoid UI overflow.
• Prefer providing reverse() so the universal decoder can decode it directly.
• Unicode-heavy styles should provide a reverse map for accurate decoding.
