# Implementation Notes

**Session ID**: `phase02-session06-settings-replay-notifications-and-scan-ux` **Package**: Cross-cutting (`apps/web`, `apps/server`, docs) **Started**: 2026-05-29 09:35 IDT **Last Updated**: 2026-05-29 09:55 IDT

## Session Progress

| Metric              | Value   |
| ------------------- | ------- |
| Tasks Completed     | 21 / 21 |
| Estimated Remaining | 0 hours |
| Blockers            | 0       |

***

## Baseline Commands

* `bash .spec_system/scripts/analyze-project.sh --json` - local script absent, skill script returned current session `phase02-session06-settings-replay-notifications-and-scan-ux`, monorepo true, cross-cutting package scope.
* `bash .spec_system/scripts/check-prereqs.sh --json --env` - local script absent, skill script passed spec system, jq, git, and npm checks.
* `bash .spec_system/scripts/check-prereqs.sh --json --tools "node,npm,npx"` - local script absent, skill script confirmed Node.js, npm, and npx are available.
* `git status --short` - pre-existing dirty state includes `.spec_system/state.json` modified and the Session 06 spec directory untracked.

***

## Privacy-Boundary Decisions

1. Keep replay-share redaction helper-owned and treat copied URLs as redacted local artifacts, not public-safe or hosted replay links.
2. Keep scan-root failures compact in broad UI and route errors. The UI can mention the allowlist rule and `FACTIONOS_SCAN_ROOTS`, but must not echo unapproved absolute roots from server failures.
3. Keep export UX tied to the local server, local auth header helper, schema headers, privacy headers, no-store behavior, and bounded failure messages.
4. Keep browser notifications opt-in and local-only. The UI must not imply push backend delivery.
5. Keep reset work scoped to settings, seed data, and replay controls. Unified erasure remains Phase 08 release hardening.

***

## Validation Plan

* Run focused web tests for settings store, scan helper/UI, notifications, replay share, export helper, and privacy boundaries.
* Run focused server tests for LLM scan route and export route privacy envelopes.
* Run focused Biome checks on touched app, server, test, and doc files.
* Run `git diff --check`.
* Run ASCII validation for spec-system output files and LF validation for touched text outputs.

***

## Deferred-Erasure Risk Log

* Unified erasure across archives, memory, browser settings, replay buffers, PID/workspace files, and server session state is still deferred to Phase 08.
* Session 06 reset controls must clearly reset only current in-browser preferences or seeded UI state.
* Docs must continue to state that redacted archives, replay buffers, settings, and memory findings remain local retention surfaces until trusted erasure ships.

***

## Task Log

### Task T001 - Verify prerequisites, Session 06 rows, and current coverage

**Started**: 2026-05-29 09:33 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-29 09:35 IDT **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Confirmed Sessions 01-05 are completed in `.spec_system/state.json`.
* Read the Session 06 PRD stub and the Phase 02 product surface gap matrix rows for settings preferences, browser notifications, replay share links, session export, and scan-root UX.
* Reviewed existing coverage in web tests for settings storage, scan UI, notifications, replay links/share, export helper, WebSocket privacy, and server tests for LLM scan/export routes.
* Confirmed implementation scope is cross-cutting and package context remains null.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase02-session06-settings-replay-notifications-and-scan-ux/implementation-notes.md` - captured baseline evidence and T001 log.

***

### Task T002 - Create implementation notes

**Started**: 2026-05-29 09:35 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-29 09:36 IDT **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Created the session implementation notes file with baseline commands, privacy-boundary decisions, validation plan, and deferred-erasure risk log.
* Captured the current dirty worktree observation without reverting pre-existing state changes.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase02-session06-settings-replay-notifications-and-scan-ux/implementation-notes.md` - initialized the required implementation evidence log.

***

### Task T003 - Audit stable docs before implementation

**Started**: 2026-05-29 09:35 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-29 09:37 IDT **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Reviewed `apps/web/README_web.md`, `apps/server/README_server.md`, `docs/api/README_api.md`, `docs/privacy-and-security.md`, and `docs/development.md`.
* Current server/API/privacy docs already mention scan-root allowlists, local LLM fallback, export privacy headers, redacted archives, and local retention risk.
* Web README lacks a specific settings/replay/notifications/export/scan section, and stable docs need Session 06 UX language for browser localStorage recovery, local-only notification delivery, replay-share copy, export feedback, and Phase 08 erasure deferral.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase02-session06-settings-replay-notifications-and-scan-ux/implementation-notes.md` - captured doc audit findings before code changes.

***

### Task T004 - Create scan-codebase UI helpers

**Started**: 2026-05-29 09:37 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-29 09:38 IDT **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added helper-owned scan-root normalization, request construction, response summary parsing, header reporting, and compact failure mapping.
* Mapped empty root, filesystem-root, unapproved root, invalid directory, server offline, HTTP, and unreadable response paths without echoing absolute roots.
* Preserved local auth headers through the scan request helper.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/lib/scanCodebase.ts` - created testable scan request, response, sanitization, and failure-copy helpers.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: scan response bodies and failure details are schema-checked before UI summary use (`apps/web/src/lib/scanCodebase.ts`).
* Failure path completeness: offline, bad response, invalid root, denied root, and filesystem-root outcomes return explicit user-visible failures (`apps/web/src/lib/scanCodebase.ts`).
* Error information boundaries: broad scan failure copy sanitizes paths, URLs, bearer values, and token-like fragments (`apps/web/src/lib/scanCodebase.ts`).

***

### Task T005 - Harden settings localStorage hydration

**Started**: 2026-05-29 09:38 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-29 09:39 IDT **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added persisted snapshot normalization for malformed, non-object, partial, stale, and invalid enum values.
* Normalized severity filters by known keys only, preserving defaults for missing or non-boolean entries.
* Reset now writes a fresh default snapshot rather than sharing mutable nested default state.
* Storage read/write failures still degrade to defaults and do not crash app import or settings updates.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/store/useSettingsStore.ts` - added normalization helpers, cloned defaults, stricter enum checks, and safer reset persistence.

**BQC Fixes**:

* State freshness on re-entry: settings hydration and reset now revalidate persisted values into a fresh bounded snapshot (`apps/web/src/store/useSettingsStore.ts`).
* Failure path completeness: unavailable or throwing storage falls back to cloned defaults without impossible state (`apps/web/src/store/useSettingsStore.ts`).
* Contract alignment: persisted severity and enum fields now match declared TypeScript unions before entering store state (`apps/web/src/store/useSettingsStore.ts`).

***

### Task T006 - Normalize notification outcome helpers

**Started**: 2026-05-29 09:39 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-29 09:40 IDT **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Exported notification result typing and added copy helpers for permission status and notification fire results.
* Covered unsupported, default, denied, granted, local-blocked, revoked, throttled, delivered, and constructor-failure outcomes.
* Added a helper for whether the test notification action is eligible.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/lib/notifications.ts` - added normalized notification copy, outcome, and eligibility helpers.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Failure path completeness: every notification suppression reason now maps to visible local copy (`apps/web/src/lib/notifications.ts`).
* Contract alignment: notification UI outcomes are derived from the same `NotifyResult` and permission union used by delivery helpers (`apps/web/src/lib/notifications.ts`).

***

### Task T007 - Tighten replay-link helper outcomes

**Started**: 2026-05-29 09:40 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-29 09:42 IDT **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added detailed replay hash inspection while keeping the existing `readReplayHash` null-return contract.
* Added local-only share success/failure copy helpers for redacted URL-fragment replay links.
* Updated boot replay handling to strip malformed replay hashes, warn visibly, and avoid repeated replay attempts.
* Preserved existing event caps, per-event size rejection, redaction, and replaying flag feedback-loop guard.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/lib/replayLink.ts` - added detailed hash inspection, share-copy helpers, and malformed boot-hash feedback.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Failure path completeness: malformed and empty replay hashes now produce explicit user feedback at boot (`apps/web/src/lib/replayLink.ts`).
* State freshness on re-entry: malformed replay hashes are stripped before returning so refreshes do not repeat the same invalid attempt (`apps/web/src/lib/replayLink.ts`).
* Error information boundaries: share copy states that replay links are redacted local URL fragments without implying hosted/public safety (`apps/web/src/lib/replayLink.ts`).

***

### Task T008 - Bound export helper failure copy

**Started**: 2026-05-29 09:42 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-29 09:43 IDT **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added a timeout-backed fetch path for local session exports.
* Mapped network failures to local-server dependency copy instead of raw exception strings.
* Sanitized HTTP, blob-read, and browser-download failures for paths, URLs, bearer values, and token-like fragments.
* Kept schema/privacy header reporting in success toasts and made local-server provenance explicit.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/lib/exportSession.ts` - added timeout handling, sanitized failure mapping, and stronger success copy.

**BQC Fixes**:

* External dependency resilience: export requests now have a bounded timeout and offline failure path (`apps/web/src/lib/exportSession.ts`).
* Failure path completeness: fetch, HTTP, blob, and browser download failures map to caller-visible failures (`apps/web/src/lib/exportSession.ts`).
* Error information boundaries: export failure copy sanitizes sensitive values before toasts (`apps/web/src/lib/exportSession.ts`).

***

### Task T009 - Wire SettingsDrawer preference controls and reset feedback

**Started**: 2026-05-29 09:43 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-29 09:45 IDT **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added drawer focus on open and kept Escape/click-outside dismissal.
* Added accessible labels for severity toggle actions.
* Added visible reset feedback for seed-data and settings reset actions.
* Kept replay entry through the existing controlled replay panel state.
* Added local auth affordance copy for scan/export requests without exposing token values.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/components/SettingsDrawer.tsx` - wired reset toasts, focus management, severity labels, replay entry preservation, and local auth copy.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Accessibility and platform compliance: drawer receives focus on open and controls expose clearer accessible names (`apps/web/src/components/SettingsDrawer.tsx`).
* Error information boundaries: local auth UI mentions header behavior without rendering token values (`apps/web/src/components/SettingsDrawer.tsx`).

***

### Task T010 - Wire SettingsDrawer scan UX through helpers

**Started**: 2026-05-29 09:43 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-29 09:45 IDT **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Replaced inline scan fetch and error handling with `runCodebaseScan`.
* Scan toasts no longer echo the requested absolute root path.
* Added visible error summary copy for empty root, invalid root, denied root, filesystem-root, offline, and compact HTTP failures.
* Preserved duplicate-trigger prevention by disabling the action while scanning.
* Success copy surfaces issue count, file count, privacy, and provider-transfer headers when present.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/components/SettingsDrawer.tsx` - wired scan UI to helper-owned request, response, and error copy.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Duplicate action prevention: scan action remains disabled while a scan is in-flight (`apps/web/src/components/SettingsDrawer.tsx`).
* Failure path completeness: scan failures render a visible summary and toast for each helper outcome (`apps/web/src/components/SettingsDrawer.tsx`).
* Error information boundaries: broad scan toasts and summaries avoid displaying raw absolute roots (`apps/web/src/components/SettingsDrawer.tsx`).

***

### Task T011 - Wire SettingsDrawer notification feedback

**Started**: 2026-05-29 09:43 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-29 09:45 IDT **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Reused normalized notification copy helpers for the toggle, permission status, and test action.
* Added a busy guard around the permission request path so repeated toggle clicks cannot spawn overlapping permission flows.
* Test notification feedback now distinguishes delivered, unsupported, default, denied, throttled, and constructor-failure outcomes.
* Permission status refreshes when the drawer opens or settings change.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/components/SettingsDrawer.tsx` - wired notification state/copy helpers and permission-request guard.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Duplicate action prevention: permission request handling ignores duplicate toggle work while busy (`apps/web/src/components/SettingsDrawer.tsx`).
* State freshness on re-entry: drawer refreshes browser permission state on open and after notification tests (`apps/web/src/components/SettingsDrawer.tsx`).
* Failure path completeness: all notification helper outcomes route to visible toasts/status text (`apps/web/src/components/SettingsDrawer.tsx`).

***

### Task T012 - Update ReplayPanel status and share feedback

**Started**: 2026-05-29 09:45 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-29 09:46 IDT **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added visible local-only replay-share copy.
* Added a sharing guard and disabled state while clipboard work is in-flight.
* Reused replay share copy helpers for empty windows, encode failures, copied links, and clipboard fallback.
* Added clear-buffer feedback and reset transient share state when the panel opens or clears.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/components/ReplayPanel.tsx` - wired replay share copy helpers, in-flight guard, clear feedback, and local-only status copy.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Duplicate action prevention: share action is disabled while clipboard/export of the URL is in-flight (`apps/web/src/components/ReplayPanel.tsx`).
* State freshness on re-entry: transient share state resets when the panel opens and when the buffer is cleared (`apps/web/src/components/ReplayPanel.tsx`).
* Error information boundaries: share copy describes redacted URL fragments without public-hosted claims (`apps/web/src/components/ReplayPanel.tsx`).

***

### Task T013 - Preserve share-replay boot feedback and malformed handling

**Started**: 2026-05-29 09:40 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-29 09:46 IDT **Duration**: 6 minutes

**Notes**:

* Boot-time replay now distinguishes absent hashes from malformed or empty replay hashes.
* Malformed replay hashes are stripped before returning, preventing repeated refresh attempts.
* Valid replay boot copy states redacted local events and retains the replaying flag guard that prevents capture feedback loops.
* Existing event cap and per-event payload cap behavior remains unchanged.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/lib/replayLink.ts` - added detailed hash inspection and malformed boot-hash feedback while preserving caps and redaction.

**BQC Fixes**:

* State freshness on re-entry: consumed malformed replay hashes are stripped from the URL (`apps/web/src/lib/replayLink.ts`).
* Failure path completeness: invalid replay links produce warning toasts instead of silent no-ops (`apps/web/src/lib/replayLink.ts`).
* Contract alignment: boot replay still drives events through the declared `ServerEvent` sink and replaying flag contract (`apps/web/src/lib/replayLink.ts`).

***

### Task T014 - Keep export commands honest

**Started**: 2026-05-29 09:46 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-29 09:47 IDT **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added command-palette export in-flight tracking with duplicate-start feedback.
* Export commands now use the hardened helper path that includes local-server dependency copy, local auth headers, privacy/schema headers, and bounded failures.
* Palette footer shows an in-flight export indicator when the palette is open during a running export.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/components/CommandPalette.tsx` - added export in-flight guard and routed export commands through the guarded runner.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Duplicate action prevention: repeated CSV/JSON export commands are rejected while an export is already running (`apps/web/src/components/CommandPalette.tsx`).
* Failure path completeness: command-triggered exports route through bounded helper failures and toasts (`apps/web/src/components/CommandPalette.tsx`).

***

### Task T015 - Verify scan-root and export route envelopes

**Started**: 2026-05-29 09:47 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-29 09:48 IDT **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added server route tests for non-directory scan roots, malformed scan bodies, and invalid export body format values.
* Locked in compact validation envelopes that do not echo raw invalid roots, token-like strings, or raw invalid export format values.
* Existing filesystem-root, unapproved-root, malformed scan option, privacy header, invalid query format, and malformed JSON body tests remain in place.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/server/tests/llm.test.ts` - added scan-root privacy envelope coverage.
* `apps/server/tests/exportRoute.test.ts` - added invalid body format privacy envelope coverage.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Error information boundaries: tests now assert scan/export validation envelopes avoid sensitive raw input echoes (`apps/server/tests/llm.test.ts`, `apps/server/tests/exportRoute.test.ts`).
* Trust boundary enforcement: malformed scan and export inputs are locked to compact validation responses (`apps/server/tests/llm.test.ts`, `apps/server/tests/exportRoute.test.ts`).

***

### Task T016 - Update package READMEs

**Started**: 2026-05-29 09:48 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-29 09:50 IDT **Duration**: 2 minutes

* Updated server README scan and export sections to state compact failure envelopes and no raw requested-root or invalid-format echo.
* Reconfirmed hosted replay, push backend, hosted accounts, analytics, and unified erasure remain deferred.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/README_web.md` - documented shipped Session 06 web UX contract and Phase 08 erasure deferral.
* `apps/server/README_server.md` - documented scan/export failure envelope privacy boundaries.

***

### Task T017 - Update stable API, privacy, and development docs

**Started**: 2026-05-29 09:49 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-29 09:50 IDT **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Updated API docs for scan-root refusal cases, symlink/generated-artifact behavior, file/content caps, provider-transfer headers, export headers, and compact invalid-format envelopes.
* Updated privacy docs for replay hash stripping, settings localStorage normalization, notification fallback states, and local-only no-push behavior.
* Updated development docs with concrete localStorage keys, scan-root behavior, and notification development guidance.

**Files Changed**:

* `docs/api/README_api.md` - refreshed scan/export API privacy behavior.
* `docs/privacy-and-security.md` - refreshed settings, replay, and notification posture.
* `docs/development.md` - refreshed localStorage, scan-root, and notification development notes.

***

### Task T018 - Add settings and scan tests

**Started**: 2026-05-29 09:50 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-29 09:52 IDT **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added scan helper tests for empty root, request body, success summaries, approved-root failures, offline mapping, and sanitization.
* Updated SettingsDrawer scan tests for redacted approved-root summaries and bounded offline copy.
* Added settings store tests for stale partial snapshots, invalid enum fallback, ignored unknown severity keys, malformed notification values, and throwing storage reads.

* `apps/web/tests/useSettingsStore.test.ts` - added malformed/stale/storage-unavailable coverage.

***

### Task T019 - Extend notification tests

**Started**: 2026-05-29 09:52 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-29 09:52 IDT **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added notification copy helper coverage for unsupported, default, denied/revoked, granted, local-blocked, delivered, throttled, constructor-failure, and test eligibility states.
* Existing settings notification persistence and `useNotifications` baseline/no-retroactive-delivery tests remain in place.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/tests/notifications.test.ts` - added normalized notification outcome helper tests.

***

### Task T020 - Extend replay/export privacy tests

**Started**: 2026-05-29 09:52 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-29 09:52 IDT **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added replay hash inspection tests for absent, malformed, empty, and valid hashes plus local redacted share copy.
* Added boot malformed-hash coverage to prove hash stripping, warning feedback, and no event dispatch.
* Updated export tests for bounded offline copy, timeout mapping, sanitized failure text, and local-server success copy.
