**Started**: 2026-06-10 09:58 **Completed**: 2026-06-10 09:59 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Confirmed protocol exports typed suggestion contracts, validators, source enums, scan status, summary counts, and `SuggestionUpdateEvent`.
* Confirmed `IdleSuggestionEvent` remains in the active `ServerEvent` union as a frozen compatibility emission.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase18-session09-web-quest-board-typed-cards/tasks.md` - Marked T001 complete.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase18-session09-web-quest-board-typed-cards/implementation-notes.md` - Logged implementation progress.

**Started**: 2026-06-10 09:58 **Completed**: 2026-06-10 09:59 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Confirmed `useGameStore` currently stores `questSuggestions` as `{ heroId, text }[]`.
* Confirmed the existing `idle_suggestion` reducer prepends string suggestions and caps the list without canonical snapshot precedence.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase18-session09-web-quest-board-typed-cards/tasks.md` - Marked T002 complete.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase18-session09-web-quest-board-typed-cards/implementation-notes.md` - Logged implementation progress.

***

**Started**: 2026-06-10 09:58 **Completed**: 2026-06-10 09:59 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Confirmed `QuestBoard` is a compact global widget using the existing `card` and `card-tight` cockpit shell classes.
* Confirmed the current component renders only idle suggestion text and a simple empty state.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase18-session09-web-quest-board-typed-cards/tasks.md` - Marked T003 complete.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase18-session09-web-quest-board-typed-cards/implementation-notes.md` - Logged implementation progress.

***

### Task T004 - Create typed Quest Board display models

### Task T005 - Normalize canonical suggestion snapshots

**Started**: 2026-06-10 09:59 **Completed**: 2026-06-10 10:03 **Duration**: 4 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added pure `normalizeSuggestionSnapshotForQuestBoard` handling idle suggestions, codebase issues, session follow-ups, analysis items, and project scan items.
* Used protocol item parsers for trust-boundary validation and dropped malformed entries before returning store-ready state.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/lib/questBoard.ts` - Added snapshot normalization and malformed-entry accounting.

## Design Decisions

### Decision 1: Split model helpers from normalization

**Context**: The initial pure Quest Board helper exceeded the session's preferred module-size range once card conversion, display helpers, and tolerant snapshot parsing lived together.

**Options Considered**:

1. Keep all helpers in `questBoard.ts` - simplest public surface, but too large for maintainability.
2. Split display model helpers into a sibling module and re-export from `questBoard.ts` - preserves existing imports while keeping responsibilities smaller.

**Chosen**: Option 2.

**Rationale**: `questBoard.ts` remains the trust-boundary normalizer, while `questBoardModel.ts` owns display types, card conversion, safe labels, and summary derivation. Public imports still use `../lib/questBoard`.
