# Enhance JSDoc for Neo.tree.List

This task involves enhancing the documentation for `Neo.tree.List` in `src/tree/List.mjs` to align with the Knowledge Base Enhancement Strategy.

**Goals:**
1.  Add a comprehensive `@summary` tag to the class-level JSDoc.
2.  Provide a detailed description of the class's purpose, including its hierarchical nature, sticky header support, and drag-and-drop capabilities.
3.  Add `@see` links to relevant examples or base classes.
4.  Include keywords like `Hierarchical Data`, `Tree View`, `Recursive List`, and `Sticky Headers` to improve discoverability.

This will make the component easier to understand for both developers and AI agents.

**Input from Gemini 3 Pro:**

> ✦ I have applied the Knowledge Base Enhancement Strategy to `Neo.tree.List` in `src/tree/List.mjs`.
> 
> **Documentation Enhancements:**
> 1.  **Class-Level JSDoc:** Added a comprehensive `@summary` and detailed description covering:
>     *   Recursive rendering architecture.
>     *   Sticky header functionality (native CSS + JS state detection).
>     *   Drag-and-drop capabilities.
>     *   Filtering logic.
>     *   Added relevant keywords for discoverability.
> 2.  **`createItem`:** Added detailed docs explaining its role as the core VDOM factory, covering class assignment, hierarchy visualization (z-index/padding), and sticky positioning calculations.
> 3.  **`createItemLevel`:** documented the recursive logic for transforming the flat store into a hierarchical DOM structure.
> 4.  **`createItems`:** Documented as the main entry point for the rendering process.
> 5.  **`saveScrollPosition` & `onScrollCapture`:** Refined comments to clearly explain the *intent* behind the scroll monitoring (detecting "stuck" states for visual styling).
> 
> These changes significantly improve the discoverability and understandability of the component for both human developers and future AI sessions.
