Sean O'Connor 3270e3f8fe docs: update documentation for forms system and role-based access
- Add forms system to README key features
- Update router/table counts to reflect new forms router
- Add forms section to quick-reference with types, templates, routes

# HRIStudio Documentation
HRIStudio is a web-based Wizard-of-Oz platform for Human-Robot Interaction research.
## Quick Links
| Document | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| **[Quick Reference](quick-reference.md)** | Essential commands, setup, troubleshooting |
| **[Project Status](project-status.md)** | Current development state (March 2026) |
| **[Implementation Guide](implementation-guide.md)** | Full technical implementation |

## Getting Started
### 1. Clone & Install
```bash
git clone https://github.com/soconnor0919/hristudio.git
cd hristudio
git submodule update --init --recursive
bun install
```
### 2. Start Database
```bash
bun run docker:up
bun db:push
bun db:seed
```
### 3. Start Application
```bash
bun dev
# Visit http://localhost:3000
# Login: sean@soconnor.dev / password123
```
### 4. Start NAO6 Robot (optional)
```bash
cd ~/Documents/Projects/nao6-hristudio-integration
docker compose up -d
```
## Current Architecture
```
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ HRIStudio Platform │
├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ UI Layer (Next.js + React + shadcn/ui) │
│ ├── Experiment Designer (drag-and-drop) │

## Key Features
- **Hierarchical Structure**: Study → Experiment → Trial → Step → Action
- **Visual Designer**: 26+ core blocks (events, wizard actions, control flow, observation)
- **Conditional Branching**: Wizard choices with convergence paths
- **WebSocket Real-time**: Trial updates with auto-reconnect
- **Plugin System**: Robot-agnostic via identifier lookup
- **Docker NAO6**: Three-service ROS2 integration
- **Forms System**: Consent forms, surveys, questionnaires with templates
- **Role-based Access**: Owner, Researcher, Wizard, Observer permissions
## System Components
### Backend (src/server/)
- `api/routers/` - 13 tRPC routers (studies, experiments, trials, participants, forms, etc.)
- `db/schema.ts` - Drizzle schema (33 tables)
- `services/trial-execution.ts` - Trial execution engine
- `services/websocket-manager.ts` - Real-time connections
### Frontend (src/)
- `app/` - Next.js App Router pages
- `components/trials/wizard/` - Wizard interface
- `components/trials/forms/` - Form builder and viewer
- `hooks/useWebSocket.ts` - Real-time trial updates
- `lib/ros/wizard-ros-service.ts` - Robot control
## Plugin Identifier System
```typescript
// Plugins table has:
// - identifier: "nao6-ros2" (unique, machine-readable)
// - name: "NAO6 Robot (ROS2 Integration)" (display)
// Lookup order in trial execution:
1. Look up by identifier (e.g., "nao6-ros2")
2. Fall back to name (e.g., "NAO6 Robot")
3. Return null if not found
```
## Branching Flow
```
Step 3 (Comprehension Check)
└── wizard_wait_for_response
├── "Correct" → nextStepId = step4a.id
└── "Incorrect" → nextStepId = step4b.id
Step 4a/4b (Branch A/B)
└── conditions.nextStepId: step5.id → converge
Step 5 (Story Continues)
└── Linear progression to conclusion
```
## Development Workflow
```bash
# Make changes
# ...
# Validate
bun typecheck
bun lint
# Push schema (if changed)
bun db:push
# Reseed (if data changed)
bun db:seed
```
## Common Issues
| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| Build errors | `rm -rf .next && bun build` |
| DB issues | `bun db:push --force && bun db:seed` |
| Type errors | Check `bun typecheck` output |
| WebSocket fails | Verify port 3001 available |
