TYPE SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS: 1. manga/reading-direction.ts - Create MangaMetadata interface to replace 'any' type - Remove redundant 'as any' casts inside detectFromMetadata() - Add proper typing for manga_type and reading_direction fields - Function signature now properly typed 2. ui/gestures.ts - Remove 'as any' cast for comic/manga reader - TypeScript already knows the type after type guard checks - Improves type safety and enables better autocomplete 3. ui/keyboard-shortcuts.ts - Remove 'as any' cast for comic/manga reader - Type guard on lines 22-24 narrows the type correctly - No cast needed, TypeScript infers ComicReader | MangaReader 4. reader-shell.ts - Remove 'as any' cast for comic/manga images array access - Type checking after format checks ensures correct type - Change: (state.currentReader as any).images.length - To: state.currentReader.images.length BENEFITS: ✅ Compiler catches property name mismatches (e.g., pageCalculationResult) ✅ Better IDE autocomplete and inline documentation ✅ Prevents runtime type errors that would slip through with 'any' ✅ Code becomes self-documenting with explicit types ✅ Easier refactoring with compiler assistance This change improves overall type safety in the reader codebase by removing unnecessary type casts that were bypassing TypeScript's type checking. The 'as any' casts were hiding bugs and preventing the compiler from catching errors at compile time. Related to: Type system improvements, bug prevention
