+# Header Package Code Review Summary
+
+This document summarizes the findings from comparing the `packages/header` package against established packages like `button`, `action-bar`, and others in the spectrum-web-components project.
+
+## ✅ What's Working Well
+
+1. **Code Structure**: The main `Header.ts` component follows good patterns with proper TypeScript typing, decorators, and LitElement structure
+2. **Documentation**: JSDoc comments are comprehensive with proper slot and event documentation
+3. **Accessibility**: Good focus management and keyboard navigation support
+4. **Feature Completeness**: Rich feature set with L1/L2 variants, editable titles, action overflow management
+5. **Test Coverage**: Basic test structure is in place with meaningful test cases
+
+## 🔧 Code Style & Architecture Issues (Now Documented with TODOs)
+
+### 1. Missing Mixins/Patterns ⚠️ HIGH PRIORITY
+
+- **FocusVisiblePolyfillMixin**: ActionBar uses this, Header should consider it for better accessibility
+- **PendingStateController**: Button uses this pattern - might be useful for async operations in Header
+
+### 2. Type Safety Issues ⚠️ HIGH PRIORITY
+
+- **Variant Validation**: Button has `VALID_VARIANTS` array and validation logic, Header needs similar validation
+- **Export Constants**: Should export variant options as constants like Button does
+- **Property Validation**: Missing validation for numeric values (maxTitleLength should be positive)
+- **Dev Mode Warnings**: Missing dev mode warnings for invalid variants like Button has
+
+### 3. Error Handling Gaps ⚠️ MEDIUM PRIORITY
+
+- **DOM Query Safety**: Missing error handling for null/undefined query results
+- **Event Handler Robustness**: Need more sophisticated error handling like Button's event methods
+- **Async Operation Safety**: Missing error handling for async operations
+- **Cleanup Validation**: Need better cleanup for all observers and controllers
+
+### 4. Performance & Optimization Issues ⚠️ MEDIUM PRIORITY
+
+- **Debouncing**: Missing debouncing for validation, resize operations, slot changes
+- **Caching**: No width calculation caching for performance
+- **Style Management**: Using inline styles instead of CSS classes for better performance
+- **Memory Management**: Need proper cleanup patterns like Button has
+
+### 5. Accessibility Enhancement Opportunities ⚠️ MEDIUM PRIORITY
+
+- **ARIA Live Regions**: Missing for dynamic content updates
+- **Comprehensive Keyboard Support**: Limited compared to Button's keyboard handling
+- **Loading States**: Missing loading state management like Button's PendingStateController
+- **Error Reporting**: Console.error usage should be more sophisticated
+
+### 6. Rendering & Template Issues ⚠️ LOW PRIORITY
+
+- **Error Boundaries**: Missing error boundaries for render operations
+- **Loading States**: Should consider loading states like Button does
+- **Configuration Options**: Missing configuration for gaps, overflow behavior, toast types
+- **Animation Support**: Missing animation support for visibility changes
+
+## 🧪 Test Coverage Gaps (Extensively Documented)
+
+The header tests are basic compared to comprehensive testing in established packages:
+
+### Missing Test Categories:
+
+1. **Dev Mode Warnings**: No `testForLitDevWarnings()` like Button ⚠️ HIGH PRIORITY
+2. **Accessibility Tests**: No `a11ySnapshot` testing like Button has ⚠️ HIGH PRIORITY
+3. **Keyboard Navigation**: No `sendKeys` testing for keyboard interactions ⚠️ HIGH PRIORITY
+4. **Mouse Interactions**: No `sendMouse` testing ⚠️ MEDIUM PRIORITY
+5. **Event Testing**: Limited event dispatch testing ⚠️ MEDIUM PRIORITY
+6. **Focus Management**: No FocusGroupController testing ⚠️ MEDIUM PRIORITY
+7. **Overflow Management**: No ResizeObserver/overflow testing ⚠️ MEDIUM PRIORITY
+8. **Performance Tests**: No memory leak tests like `button-memory.test.ts` ⚠️ LOW PRIORITY
+9. **Visual Regression**: Missing VRT tests that other packages have extensively ⚠️ LOW PRIORITY
+10. **Edge Cases**: Limited property combination and validation testing ⚠️ MEDIUM PRIORITY
+
+### Test Structure Issues:
+
+- Tests should use more comprehensive fixture testing patterns
+- Should include disabled state testing
+- Should test all slot combinations
+- Should test error handling thoroughly
+
+## 📝 Documentation Issues
+
+### README.md
+
+- Generally good structure but should verify completeness against other packages
+- Could use more comprehensive examples like Button package has
+- API documentation should be verified against actual component interface
+
+### Stories Structure
+
+- Header has comprehensive stories but should verify consistency with other packages
+- Should ensure all story patterns follow established conventions
+
+## 🎯 Priority Action Items
+
+### High Priority (Should Fix Immediately):
+
+1. ✅ **Add CHANGELOG.md** - COMPLETED
+2. ✅ **Add .npmrc** - COMPLETED
+3. ✅ **Fix package.json test script** - COMPLETED
+4. ✅ **Fix tsconfig.json references** - COMPLETED
+5. ✅ **Add variant validation logic** like Button has - COMPLETED
+6. ✅ **Add FocusVisiblePolyfillMixin** for better accessibility - COMPLETED
+7. ✅ **Add dev mode warnings** for invalid usage - COMPLETED
+8. ✅ **Add property validation** (maxTitleLength) - COMPLETED
+9. ✅ **Add basic error handling** for DOM operations - COMPLETED
+10. **Add comprehensive accessibility tests** ⚠️ HIGH
+
+### Medium Priority (Should Address Soon):
+
+1. **Expand test coverage** to match Button's comprehensive approach
+2. **Add error handling** throughout DOM operations and async methods
+3. **Add performance optimizations** (debouncing, caching, CSS classes)
+4. **Add validation** for all numeric and property values
+5. **Improve keyboard navigation** to match Button's patterns
+6. **Add proper cleanup patterns** for all controllers and observers
+
+### Low Priority (Nice to Have):
+
+1. **Consider SizedMixin** if size variants are needed
+2. **Add more comprehensive VRT tests**
+3. **Standardize description field** with other packages
+4. **Add animation support** for state changes
+5. **Add configuration options** for gaps, overflow behavior
+6. **Add helper functions** or utilities like Button package has
