# Implementation Summary

**Session ID**: `phase21-session01-expansion-state-foundation` **Package**: apps/web **Completed**: 2026-06-29 **Duration**: 0.4 hours

***

## Overview

Session 01 established the transient state foundation for Phase 21 bottom-rail expansion. `apps/web` now has one typed surface identifier for Quest Board, Orchestration, and War Room, a canonical expanded-surface store field, reset behavior that clears transient state, and tests proving expansion state is not persisted or hydrated from stale localStorage snapshots.

## Technical Decisions

1. **Transient state stays in `useSettingsStore`**: The settings store already owns shell overlay booleans, so expansion state belongs beside those non-persisted fields.
2. **Durable and transient defaults are separate**: `DEFAULT_SETTINGS` remains the persisted preference contract, while `DEFAULT_TRANSIENT_SETTINGS` gives reset paths a complete canonical transient shape.
3. **No visible panel expansion claim yet**: This session ships only the state source for later shared-host and panel sessions.

## Test Results

| Metric        | Value                  |
| ------------- | ---------------------- |
| Focused tests | 172 passed             |
| Root tests    | 3121 passed, 1 skipped |
| Typecheck     | PASS                   |
| Format        | PASS                   |
| Lint          | PASS                   |
| Coverage      | Not reported           |

## Lessons Learned

1. Zustand partial merges require explicit transient reset fields; omitted keys do not reset themselves.
2. Test helpers that spread durable defaults can silently preserve transient overlay state unless they share a canonical transient reset object.

***

## Future Considerations

Items for future sessions:

1. Wire the shared bottom-rail expansion host to this store field.
2. Preserve one mounted working implementation per bottom-rail panel when focused surfaces are added.
3. Prove visible behavior, nested overlay recovery, and accessibility once the UI host exists.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs/.spec_system/archive/sessions/phase21-session01-expansion-state-foundation/implementation_summary.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
