The idea of this library is exactly to not use HTML ids (or css paths etc), but use instructions you could give to an human browsing the web (enter the page, press tab, type this..)

Can you tell what area is this? Is it a backend service or something like software that runs on consumer's PCs?

Just add an ENV var containing a JSON with this metadata. There's tons of env vars that get ignored by programs that don't care about each specifically.

Hey, I hope you figure a way to back up this stuff, since phones are prone to be lost or stolen (or is it backed up automatically by Google or Apple?)

Dependent types prevent infinite loops at compile time because if you have nonterminating terms, your types are unsound as a logic (you can derive true and false properties altogether)
That's because theorem proving with dependent types is based on the idea that you can prove something by providing a proof object that is a witness that what you want to prove is true. But a nonterminating function can fake it: you can write a function that promises a proof that something is true, while it never returns (so it never has to build a proof object). That way you can prove that false things are "true".
