pre-flight prep status update

• ctx::2025-09-09 @ 11:45 AM [mode::breaking in progress/pre-flight prep]

Completed all git setup tasks while you stepped away. The BMI issues have been archived (4 files moved to completed folder), keeping the active issues clean. Switched to main, pulled latest which brought in 51 file updates including new onboarding components and database migrations. Created the feature branch feature/assessment-message-node and we’re ready to roll.

Role Boundaries Established:

• Desktop daddy providing strategic oversight from above
• Cowboy Claude in the console handling tactical execution
• Using echoCopy protocol when moving content between instances
• Kitchen table protocol: helping within boundaries, not creating more work

Session Sync from Desktop: Working under SYNC-PHARMACY-PREFLIGHT-TACTICAL-OVERSIGHT-20250909-FOCUSED for coordinated development. Pre-flight prep complete for message node implementation with clear separation between strategic and tactical layers.

Current Status: On break with pre-flight prep complete. Clean workspace on the feature branch, ready to implement the message node (first of three assessment nodes). Following the Progressive Speed Trap methodology: 30 minute time box, 100 line maximum, working code is a reason to STOP.

Next action: Awaiting your return to start message node implementation.

Note for evna usage: Remember to use rich conversational content WITH essential metadata patterns, not just tag soup. Quality over quantity for searchable, meaningful context.

message node implementation status

• ctx::2025-09-09 @ 05:00 PM - [project::rangle/pharmacy] - [issue::338]
• Types complete: NodeType enum + MessageNodeData interface + BuilderNode union
• Component complete: 87-line message.tsx with 4 variants (info/error/warning/success)
• Integration complete: registered in builder, added to section toolbar
• Blocked on testing: Docker virtualization process pegging CPU (99.6%)
• Debug rabbit hole: spent time on “disabled button” before realizing infrastructure issue
• System diagnosis: confirmed Docker zombies, need reboot/restart
• Reality check: 30min estimate = wildly optimistic
• Status: implementation done, testing pending Docker fix

⏺ ▒▒ Context Preservation Note: Message Node Feature ▒▒

CRITICAL UNDERSTANDING FOR FUTURE ME:

What We’re Building

A Message Node for assessment flows - it’s a display-only informational node (no user input) that shows messages with 4 types: info/error/warning/success

Architecture Decision (THIS TRIPPED US UP)

• Message is a QuestionType NOT a separate NodeType
• It appears in the Question Type dropdown alongside “Text Input”, “Radio”, etc.
• When selected, a Message Type selector appears below

Current Status After Phase 6

✅ WORKING:

• Message appears in Question Type dropdown
• Message type selector shows (info/error/warning/success)
• Preview in form panel updates correctly with proper styling
• Node icon logic is implemented (but visual bug exists)

❌ NOT WORKING (JUST DISCOVERED):

• Node background color in flow canvas stays gray regardless of messageType
• We updated the icon logic but forgot to make background color dynamic

The Bug & Fix

Bug: Line ~117 in question.tsx has ‘bg-gray-400’: type === ‘message’ - this is static Fix: Need dynamic colors based on messageType: ‘bg-gray-400’: type === ‘message’ && (!messageType || messageType === ‘info’), ‘bg-red-400’: type === ‘message’ && messageType === ‘error’, ‘bg-yellow-400’: type === ‘message’ && messageType === ‘warning’, ‘bg-green-400’: type === ‘message’ && messageType === ‘success’,

Files Modified So Far

1. types.ts - Added QuestionType.message enum
2. question-form.tsx - Added MessageTypeSelector + MessagePreview components
3. field-configuration.ts - Added message configuration
4. form-field-renderer.tsx - Added MessageDisplay component
5. flow-to-assessment-converter.ts - Added messageType to interface
6. flow-data-mappers.ts - Pass messageType through
7. renderer.tsx - Pass messageType prop
8. question.tsx - Updated QuestionIcon (but missed background color)

Visual Requirements (GitHub #338)

• Info: NO border, plain text
• Error: Red border/background, XCircle icon
• Warning: Yellow border/background, AlertTriangle icon
• Success: Green border/background, CheckCircle icon

Testing Path

Admin → Assessments → Create/Edit → Add Question → Select “Message” → Change message type → NODE SHOULD UPDATE COLOR+ICON

Next Actions

1. Fix node background color to be dynamic
2. Update issue notes with Phase 7 (node visual updates)
3. Test all 4 types show correctly in flow
4. Get user approval for PR

THE CORE ISSUE: Node visuals need to reflect messageType, not just type===‘message’

Phase 9 completion + HTML escaping issue discovered

• ctx::2025-09-09 @ 07:43:40 PM - [project::rangle/pharmacy] - [issue::338] - [mode::break]

Phase 9 Complete - Committed: ✅ Removed magic strings - added MessageType enum to eliminate string literals
✅ Added ARIA accessibility - role=“alert”, aria-live for proper screen reader support
✅ Added useMemo optimizations - 3 components now optimized for re-render performance
✅ Fixed code quality - removed unused imports, consistent styling patterns

HTML Escaping Issue Discovered During Testing:
❌ “success -> error” displays as “succes -> error” in message fields
🔍 Root cause identified - RichTextInput.getHTML() returns HTML entities, SafeFormattedText strips tags but keeps entities
💡 Solution within project patterns - enhance html-sanitizer.tsx to decode entities after stripping tags

Current Status:

• Phase 9 improvements committed (enum, ARIA, useMemo)
• HTML escaping solution identified but not implemented
• User taking break - awaiting return to implement escaping fix
• No PR until testing complete and user approval

Next Steps When User Returns:

1. Implement HTML entity decoding in html-sanitizer.tsx
2. Test escaping fix
3. Get user approval for PR creation
