# Implementation Summary

**Session ID**: `phase21-session05-quest-board-and-war-room-parity` **Package**: apps/web **Completed**: 2026-06-29 **Duration**: 0.3 hours

***

## Overview

Completed Quest Board and War Room parity for the focused bottom-rail surface contract. Both panels now route their primary noninteractive panel/header open path through the shared focused surface while retaining the old detail portals as secondary state summaries. The implementation preserves the mounted panel instances, keeps nested controls guarded, and uses layer-aware Escape handling so state summaries close before the parent focused surface.

## Technical Decisions

1. **Same-instance promotion remains the contract**: Quest Board and War Room keep one mounted implementation, so focused close/reopen does not fork local drafts, room state, pending feedback, approvals, notices, diagnostics, or erasure state.
2. **Details portals are secondary summaries**: The retained portals now use state-summary labels and no longer read as the primary focused work path.
3. **Overlay layers own Escape ordering**: Quest Board and War Room state summaries use the shared overlay registry and close only when topmost.

## Test Results

| Metric        | Value                  |
| ------------- | ---------------------- |
| Focused Tests | 62 passed              |
| Root Tests    | 3154 passed, 1 skipped |
| Typecheck     | Web and workspace PASS |
| Lint          | PASS                   |
| Format Check  | PASS                   |
| Security Scan | PASS                   |
| Coverage      | Not collected          |

## Lessons Learned

1. Bottom-rail expansion should remain a shell concern; panel components only need to keep their own product controls native and guarded.
2. Secondary inspectors need explicit product language so they do not compete with the primary focused working surface.

***

## Future Considerations

Items for future sessions:

1. Session 06 should verify responsive layout, focus order, and accessibility behavior at desktop and small viewport sizes.
2. Session 07 should fold final regression evidence and stable documentation updates into the release closeout.

## 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-session05-quest-board-and-war-room-parity/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.
