Ensure that a domonic object evaluates to True

Ensure that a domonic object evaluates to True
((it exists as opposed to the variable being None)

E.g.

   def maybe_get_element():
     if some_condition:
        return Document()
     return None

   x = maybe_get_element()
   if x:
      do_something_with(x)

⚡ Recommended focus areas for review Design Decision The __bool__ method always returns True regardless of the object's state. Consider if empty DOM objects should evaluate to False for consistency with Python conventions where empty containers are falsy. def __bool__(self): # was previously falling back to __len__ return True

PR Code Suggestions ✨

Explore these optional code suggestions:

Category	Suggestion	Impact
General	Clarify boolean evaluation logic Consider whether all DOM objects should always evaluate to True regardless of their state. Some DOM objects might logically be considered "empty" or "false" in certain contexts, such as when they have no children or content. domonic/dom.py [755-757] def __bool__(self): - # was previously falling back to __len__ + # DOM objects are considered truthy if they exist as valid nodes + # Override __len__ fallback behavior for consistent truthiness return True Apply / Chat Suggestion importance[1-10]: 4 __ Why: The suggestion raises a valid design consideration about the truthiness of DOM objects. While the PR's change is intentional, the improved comment in the suggestion better documents the rationale behind this choice, which enhances code clarity for future maintenance. The functional code remains unchanged.	Low
