Subject: [PATCH 01/11] Scaffold UIHTML Console Error Rerouter project
Implemented the initial project structure as described in AGENTS.md,
including the ES5-compatible JS shim, the MATLAB ConsoleErrorRerouter
class, minimal HTML and script examples, and a MATLAB unit test suite
covering constructor behavior, property toggling, error levels filtering,
custom formatting, and clean teardown.

## Project Overview
**UIHTML Console Error Rerouter** is an open-source MATLAB tool that intercepts
-JavaScript `console.error` calls inside MATLAB `uihtml` components and forwards
-them to the MATLAB Command Window. This bridges the gap between front-end
-JavaScript debugging and MATLAB's native output, eliminating the need to open a
-browser developer console during development.
+all JavaScript console output (`console.error`, `console.warn`, `console.log`,
+`console.info`, `console.debug`) inside MATLAB `uihtml` components and forwards
+it to the MATLAB Command Window using native MATLAB output mechanisms. This bridges
+the gap between front-end JavaScript debugging and MATLAB's native output, eliminating
+the need to open a browser developer console during development.
The tool has two integrated parts:
-1. **JavaScript shim** — injected into the HTML file loaded by `uihtml`; intercepts
- `console.error` (and optionally `console.warn`, `console.info`) and sends the
+1. **JavaScript shim (`src/js/consoleShim.js`)** — intercepts all console levels and
+ forwards each message to MATLAB via `sendEventToMATLAB`, including the level so
+ MATLAB can route output appropriately. Users never manually include this file — the
+ MATLAB class handles delivery automatically.
+2. **MATLAB class (`ConsoleErrorRerouter`)** — wraps a `uihtml` component, automatically
+ copies `consoleShim.js` into the same directory as the user's HTML file and injects
+ a `` to the
+ HTML content so the shim loads first.
+- On destruction, it removes the copied `consoleShim.js` and restores the original
+ `HTMLSource`.
+
+**User-facing HTML files must contain no reference to the shim whatsoever.**

+ - `UpperCamelCase` for class names and properties.
+ - Lines must not exceed **100 characters**.
+- **Classes**: Use `classdef` with `properties` blocks. Separate dependent

+ property and method with a one-line comment above the declaration.
+- **Error IDs**: Use namespaced error IDs in all `error()` calls:
+ `error('uihtmlRerouter:badArgument', 'Message here.')`.
+- **No global state**: Do not use `global` or `persistent` variables in the main
+ class. Encapsulate all state as object properties.
+- **Backward compatibility**: Target MATLAB R2023a and later. While `uihtml` itself
+ was introduced in R2019b, the bidirectional event API this tool depends on —
+ specifically `sendEventToMATLAB` (JavaScript) and `HTMLEventReceivedFcn` (MATLAB)
+ — was not introduced until R2023a (see Version History on the
+ [uihtml docs page](https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/uihtml.html)).
+ Do not use language features introduced after R2023a without a version guard.
+
+### JavaScript
+- **ES5 compatible** — the embedded browser in older MATLAB releases may not
+ support ES6+ syntax. Use `var`, not `let`/`const`. Use function declarations,
+ not arrow functions.
+- Keep `consoleShim.js` self-contained with no external dependencies.
+- The shim must call `window.sendEventToMATLAB` using the reserved event name
+ `"ConsoleError"` and pass a plain object `{ level, message, stack }`.
+- Do not rename or repurpose the `"ConsoleError"` event name — the MATLAB class
+ filters on this string.
+
+### HTML examples / fixtures

- HTML content so the shim loads first.
