Admin: Message assessment node updates #401

Here are a few updates to be made against the message assessment node and its functionality:

Remove checkbox “Add hint for this question” Remove checkbox “Required field” Center icon on the the message node preview Remove the collection of the assessment response for this type of assessment node type.

.. think i need to update that slash command … we are doing some changes to the message type node we created recently, github issue 401

Brain Boot

Summary / TL;DR:

You’re aligning UX/data validation rules for a range-mapping UI (e.g., low/green bands), deciding how to handle min/max logic (explicit vs implied), real-time vs submit-time validation, and what “pre-confirmation”/non-blocking warnings look like. On the build side, you’re prepping demos on the correct branch, defaulting accepted file types from screenshots, verifying HEIC uploads, fixing a Next.js file-size upload constraint, and ensuring preview works.

3-3-3 Breakdown:

  - Validation & UX behavior: when to validate, how to warn, non-blocking confirmations.

  - Data model/range assumptions: per-row min/max explicit vs inferred from bands; consistent naming/semantics.

  - File upload pipeline: accepted types (incl. HEIC), size constraints, preview behavior, branch/demo readiness.

  - Do we need explicit per-row min/max, or can we infer from provided thresholds (e.g., low=50, green=60)?

  - Should validation be inline and live-as-you-type, or only on submit/next?

  - How should “pre-confirmation” work: inline warning vs modal, and truly non-blocking even if inputs are “wrong”?

  - Verify/decide min/max semantics and how “OK” bounds are defined; document validation rules.

  - Implement chosen validation timing and warning UX pattern; add copy for messages.

  - Fix Next.js file-size blocking; test accepted types incl. HEIC; confirm preview flow; prepare demo on correct branch.

Organized Themes, Subjects, Topics, Action Items:

  - Subjects

    - Live vs deferred validation

    - Warning presentation (inline vs modal)

    - Non-blocking “pre-confirmation”

  - Topics

    - Error/warning severity levels (info/warn/error)

    - Copy and i18n for messages

    - Keyboard/flow: continue despite issues

  - Action Items

    - Decide validation timing (as-you-type, on-blur, on-submit)

    - Choose warning UI (inline alert vs dialog); ensure non-blocking path

    - Write concise validation messages; log warnings for audit

  - Subjects

    - Explicit min/max per row vs implied bounds

    - Category bands (low/green/etc.) ordering and overlap

    - “OK” definition and maximum/edge handling

  - Topics

    - Monotonic constraints (low < green < high)

    - Conflict detection (50 low, 60 green) and resolution

    - Defaults, empty states, and auto-infer rules

  - Action Items

    - Document invariant rules and inference logic

    - Implement constraint checks and suggestions

    - Add helperSummary

You’re preparing to demo/edit a feature with validation and upload flows. You want to confirm assumptions about per-row min/max handling, when/how to show validation, “pre-confirmation” behavior that doesn’t block progress, and a few UX tweaks for later. You also have some concrete dev tasks: correct branch for demos, default accepted file types from screenshots, verify HEIC support and previews, fix Next.js property blocking small uploads.

TL;DR

3-3-3 Breakdown

  - Validation model and UX: min/max logic; when/how to validate; pre-confirmation behavior.

  - Upload pipeline details: accepted types, HEIC handling, preview behavior, size constraints.

  - Delivery logistics: correct branch for demo; assumption check with pair; defer small UX polish.

  - Per-row bounds: Do we explicitly collect min/max per row, or infer from category ordering (e.g., Low < Green < High) and values entered?

  - Validation timing: Real-time (as-you-type) vs on-submit/next-only; severity levels (warning vs error) and gating behavior.

  - Pre-confirmation UX: Non-blocking confirmation—inline warning vs modal dialog; what “override anyway” looks like.

  - Fix Next.js property blocking small uploads; verify size thresholds and error messaging.

  - Implement/verify accepted file types defaulting from current UI/screens; ensure multiple-file selection behavior.

  - Test HEIC uploads end-to-end: accept, convert/parse if needed, generate previews; confirm browser/device coverage.

Brief recap of what you meant

You’re close to demoing/editing a feature and want to make sure your assumptions about range validation and confirmation UX are correct, while you finalize file upload behavior (including HEIC) and fix a Next.js setting that blocks small files. You’ll demo from the correct branch, confirm decisions with your pair, and push smaller UX tweaks to later.
