|
||
## Current Status (December 2024)
|
||
|
||
### Wizard Interface Multi-View Implementation - COMPLETE ✅ (December 2024)
|
||
Complete redesign of trial execution interface with role-based views for thesis research.
|
||
|
||
**✅ Completed Implementation:**

|
||
Major architectural improvement consolidating global routes into study-scoped workflows.
|
||
|
||
**✅ Completed Implementation:**
|
||
- **Removed Global Routes**: Eliminated `/participants`, `/trials`, and `/analytics` global views
|
||
- **Study-Scoped Architecture**: All entity management now flows through studies (`/studies/[id]/participants`, `/studies/[id]/trials`, `/studies/[id]/analytics`)
|
||
- **Dashboard Route Fixed**: Resolved `/dashboard` 404 issue by moving from `(dashboard)` route group to explicit `/dashboard` route
|
||
- **Helpful Redirects**: Created redirect pages for moved routes with auto-redirect when study context exists
|
||
- **Custom 404 Handling**: Added dashboard-layout 404 page for broken links within dashboard area

||
- **Form Updates**: Fixed all entity forms (ParticipantForm, TrialForm) to use study-scoped routes
|
||
- **Component Consolidation**: Removed duplicate components (`participants-data-table.tsx`, `trials-data-table.tsx`, etc.)
|
||
|
||
**Benefits Achieved:**
|
||
- **Logical Hierarchy**: Studies → Participants/Trials/Analytics creates intuitive workflow
|
||
- **Reduced Complexity**: Eliminated confusion about where to find functionality
|
||
- **Code Reduction**: Removed significant duplicate code between global and study-scoped views
|
||
- **Better UX**: Clear navigation path through study-centric organization
|
||
- **Maintainability**: Single source of truth for each entity type
|
||
|
||
## Next Priority: WebSocket Implementation Enhancement
|
||
|
||
### WebSocket Real-Time Infrastructure - IN PROGRESS 🚧
|
||
Critical for thesis research - enable real-time trial execution and monitoring.
|
||
|
||
**Current Status:**
|
||
- ✅ Basic WebSocket hooks exist (`useWebSocket.ts`, `useTrialWebSocket.ts`)
|
||
- ✅ Trial execution engine with tRPC endpoints
|
||
- ❌ **Missing**: Real-time robot communication and status updates
|
||
- ❌ **Missing**: Live trial event broadcasting to all connected clients
|
||
- ❌ **Missing**: WebSocket server implementation for trial coordination
|
||
|
||
**Required Implementation:**
|
||
- **Robot Integration**: WebSocket connection to robot platforms (ROS2, REST APIs)
|
||
- **Event Broadcasting**: Real-time trial events to wizard, observers, and monitoring systems
|
||
- **Session Management**: Multi-client coordination for collaborative trial execution
|
||
- **Error Handling**: Robust connection recovery and fallback mechanisms
|
||
- **Security**: Proper authentication and role-based WebSocket access
|
||
|
||
**Files to Focus On:**
|
||
- `src/hooks/useWebSocket.ts` - Client-side WebSocket management
|
||
- `src/server/services/trial-execution.ts` - Trial execution engine
|
||
- WebSocket server implementation (needs creation)
|
||
- Robot plugin WebSocket adapters
|
||
|
||
## Previous Status (December 2024)
|
||
|
||
### Experiment Designer Redesign - COMPLETE ✅ (Phase 1)
|
||
Initial redesign delivered per `docs/experiment-designer-redesign.md`. Continuing iterative UX/scale refinement (Phase 2).
|
||
|
||
> Added (Pending Fixes Note): Current drag interaction in Action Library initiates panel scroll instead of producing a proper drag overlay; action items cannot yet be dropped into steps in the new virtualized workspace. Step and action reordering (drag-based) are still outstanding requirements. Action pane collapse toggle was removed (overlapped breadcrumbs). Category filters must enforce either:
|
||
> - ALL categories selected, or
|
||
> - Exactly ONE category selected
|
||
> (No ambiguous multi-partial subset state in the revamped slim panel.)
|
||
|
||
#### **Implementation Status (Phase 1 Recap)**
|
||
|
||
**✅ Core Infrastructure Complete:**
|
||
- Zustand state management with comprehensive actions and selectors
|
||
- Deterministic SHA-256 hashing with incremental computation
|
||
- Type-safe validation (structural, parameter, semantic, execution)
|
||
- Plugin drift detection with action signature tracking
|
||
- Export/import integrity bundles
|
||
|
||
**✅ UI Components (Initial Generation):**
|
||
- `DesignerShell` (initial orchestration – now superseded by `DesignerRoot`)
|
||
- `ActionLibrary` (v1 palette)
|
||
- `StepFlow` (legacy list)
|
||
- `PropertiesPanel`, `ValidationPanel`, `DependencyInspector`
|
||
- `SaveBar`
|
||
|
||
**Phase 2 Overhaul Components (In Progress / Added):**
|
||
- `DesignerRoot` (panel + status bar orchestration)
|
||
- `PanelsContainer` (resizable/collapsible left/right)
|
||
- `BottomStatusBar` (hash / drift / unsaved quick actions)
|
||
- `ActionLibraryPanel` (slim, single-column, favorites, density, search)
|
||
- `FlowWorkspace` (virtualized step list replacing `StepFlow` for large scale)
|
||
- `InspectorPanel` (tabbed: properties / issues / dependencies)
|
||
|
||
### Recent Updates (Latest Iteration)
|
||
|
||
**Action Library Slim Refactor**
|
||
- Constrained width (max 240px) with internal vertical scroll
|
||
- Single-column tall tiles; star (favorite) moved top-right
|
||
- Multi-line name wrapping; description line-clamped (3 lines)
|
||
- Stacked control layout (search → categories → compact buttons)
|
||
- Eliminated horizontal scroll-on-drag issue (prevented unintended X scroll)
|
||
- Removed responsive two-column to preserve predictable drag targets
|
||
|
||
**Scroll / Drag Fixes**
|
||
- Explicit `overflow-y-auto overflow-x-hidden` on action list container
|
||
- Prevented accidental horizontal scroll on drag start
|
||
- Ensured tiles use minimal horizontal density to preserve central workspace
|
||
|
||
**Flow Pane Overhaul**
|
||
- Introduced `FlowWorkspace` virtualized list:
|
||
- Variable-height virtualization (dynamic measurement with ResizeObserver)
|
||
- Inline step rename (Enter / Escape / blur commit)
|
||
- Collapsible steps with action chips
|
||
- Insert “Below” & “Step Above” affordances
|
||
- Droppable targets registered per step (`step-<id>`)
|
||
- Quick action placeholder insertion button
|
||
- Legacy `FlowListView` retained temporarily for fallback (to be removed)
|
||
- Step & action selection preserved (integrates with existing store)
|
||
- Drag-end adaptation for action insertion works with new virtualization
|
||
|
||
**Panel Layout & Status**
|
||
- `PanelsContainer` persists widths; action panel now narrower by design
|
||
- Status bar provides unified save / export / validate with state badges
|
||
|
||

|
||
2. Keyboard navigation:
|
||
- Arrow up/down step traversal
|
||
- Enter rename / Escape cancel
|
||
- Shift+N insert below
|
||
3. Multi-select & bulk delete (steps + actions)
|
||
4. Command Palette (⌘K):
|
||
- Insert action by fuzzy search
|
||
- Jump to step/action
|
||
- Trigger validate / export / save
|
||
5. Graph / Branch View (React Flow selective mount)
|
||
6. Drift reconciliation modal (signature diff + adopt / ignore)
|
||
7. Auto-save throttle controls (status bar menu)
|
||
8. Server-side validation / compile endpoint integration (tRPC mutation)
|
||
9. Conflict resolution modal (hash drift vs persisted)
|
||
10. ✅ Removal of legacy components completed (BlockDesigner, DesignerShell, StepFlow, ActionLibrary, SaveBar, FlowListView)
|
||
11. Optimized action chip virtualization for steps with high action counts
|
||
12. Inline parameter quick-edit popovers (for simple scalar params)
|
||
|
||
### Adjusted Immediate Tasks
|
||
|
||
| # | Task | Status |
|
||
| - | ---- | ------ |
|
||
| 1 | Slim action pane + scroll fix | ✅ Complete |
|
||
| 2 | Introduce virtualized FlowWorkspace | ✅ Initial implementation |
|
||
| 3 | Migrate page to `DesignerRoot` | ✅ Complete |
|
||
| 4 | Hook drag-drop into new workspace | ✅ Complete |
|
||
| 5 | Step reorder (drag) | ⏳ Pending |
|
||
| 6 | Command palette | ⏳ Pending |
|
||
| 7 | Remove legacy `StepFlow` & `FlowListView` | ⏳ After reorder |
|
||
| 8 | Graph view toggle | ⏳ Planned |
|
||
| 9 | Drift reconciliation UX | ⏳ Planned |
|
||
| 10 | Conflict resolution modal | ⏳ Planned |
|
||
|
||
### Known Issues
|
||
|
||
Current (post-overhaul):
|
||
- Dragging an action from the Action Library currently causes the list to scroll (drag overlay not isolated); drop into steps intermittently fails
|
||
- Step reordering not yet implemented in `FlowWorkspace` (parity gap with legacy StepFlow)
|
||
- Action reordering within a step not yet supported in `FlowWorkspace`
|
||
- Action chips may overflow visually for extremely large action counts in one step (virtualization of actions not yet applied)
|
||
- Quick Action button inserts placeholder “control” action (needs proper action selection / palette)
|
||
- No keyboard shortcuts integrated for new workspace yet
|
||
- Legacy components still present (technical debt until removal)
|
||
- Drag hover feedback minimal (no highlight state on step while hovering)
|
||
- No diff UI for drifted action signatures (placeholder toasts only)
|
||
- Category filter logic needs enforcement: either all categories selected OR exactly one (current multi-select subset state will be removed)
|
||
- Left action pane collapse button removed (was overlapping breadcrumbs); needs optional alternative placement if reintroduced
|
||
|
||
### Technical Notes
|
||
|
||
Virtualization Approach:
|
||
- Maintains per-step dynamic height map (ResizeObserver)
|
||
- Simple windowing (top/height + overscan) adequate for current scale
|
||
- Future performance: batch measurement and optional fixed-row mode fallback
|
||
|
||
Action Insertion:
|
||
- Drag from library → step droppable ID
|
||
- Inline Quick Action path uses placeholder until palette arrives
|
||
|
||
State Integrity:
|
||
- Virtualization purely visual; canonical order & mutation operations remain in store (no duplication)
|
||
|
||
### Documentation To Update (Queued)
|
||
- `implementation-details.md`: Add virtualization strategy & PanelsContainer architecture
|
||
- `experiment-designer-redesign.md`: Append Phase 2 evolution section
|
||
- `quick-reference.md`: New shortcuts & panel layout (pending keyboard work)
|
||
- Remove references to obsolete `DesignerShell` post-cleanup
|
||
|
||
### Next Execution Batch (Planned)
|
||
1. Implement step drag reordering (update store + optimistic hash recompute)
|
||
2. Keyboard navigation & shortcuts foundation
|
||
3. Command palette scaffold (providers + fuzzy index)
|
||
4. Legacy component removal & doc synchronization
|
||
|
||
|
||
1. ✅ **Step Addition**: Fixed - JSX structure and type imports resolved
|
||
2. ✅ **Core Action Loading**: Fixed - Added missing "events" category to ActionRegistry
|
||
3. ✅ **Plugin Action Display**: Fixed - ActionLibrary now reactively updates when plugins load
|
||
4. ✅ **Legacy Cleanup**: All legacy designer components removed
|
||
5. **Code Quality**: Some lint warnings remain (non-blocking for functionality)
|
||
6. **Validation API**: Server-side validation endpoint needs implementation
|
||
7. **Error Boundaries**: Need enhanced error recovery for plugin failures
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
### Unified Study Selection System (Completed)
|
||
|
||
The platform previously had two parallel mechanisms for tracking the active study (`useActiveStudy` and `study-context`). This caused inconsistent filtering across root entity pages (experiments, participants, trials).
|
||
|
||
**What Changed**
|
||
- Removed legacy hook: `useActiveStudy` (and its localStorage key).
|
||
- Unified on: `study-context` (key: `hristudio-selected-study`).
|
||
- Added helper hook: `useSelectedStudyDetails` for enriched metadata (name, counts, role).
|
||
- Updated all study‑scoped root pages and tables:
|
||
- `/experiments` → now strictly filtered server-side via `experiments.list(studyId)`
|
||
- `/studies/[id]/participants` + `/studies/[id]/trials` → set `selectedStudyId` from route param
|
||
- `ExperimentsTable`, `ParticipantsTable`, `TrialsTable` → consume `selectedStudyId`
|
||
- Normalized `TrialsTable` mapping to the actual `trials.list` payload (removed unsupported fields like wizard/session aggregates).
|
||
- Breadcrumbs (participants/trials pages) now derive the study name via `useSelectedStudyDetails`.
|
||
|
||
**Benefits**
|
||
- Single source of truth for active study
|
||
- Elimination of state drift between pages
|
||
- Reduced query invalidation complexity
|
||
- Clearer contributor mental model
|
||
|
||
**Follow‑Up (Optional)**
|
||
1. Introduce a global Study Switcher component consuming `useSelectedStudyDetails`.
|
||
2. Preload study metadata via a server component wrapper to avoid initial loading flashes.
|
||
3. Extend `trials.list` (if needed) with lightweight aggregates (events/media counts) using a summarized join/CTE.
|
||
4. Consolidate repeated breadcrumb patterns into a shared utility.
|
||
|
||
This unification completes the study selection refactor and stabilizes per‑study scoping across the application.

### Previously Completed Enhancements
|
||
|
||
#### 1. Experiment List Aggregate Enrichment - COMPLETE ✅
|
||
Implemented `experiments.list` lightweight aggregates (no extra client round trips):
|
||
- `actionCount` (summed across all step actions) ✅
|
||
- `latestActivityAt` (MAX of experiment.updatedAt and latest trial activity) ✅
|
||
- (Future optional) `readyTrialCount` (not yet required)
|
||
- Server-side aggregation (grouped queries; no N+1) ✅
|
||
- Backward compatible response shape ✅
|
||
|
||
UI Impact (Completed):
|
||
- Added Actions & Last Activity columns to Experiments tables ✅
|
||
- (Deferred) Optional “Active in last 24h” client filter
|
||
|
||
Performance Result:
|
||
- Achieved O(n) merge after 2 grouped queries over experiment id set ✅
|
||
|
||
#### 2. Sidebar Debug Panel → Tooltip Refactor - COMPLETE ✅
|
||
Replaced bulky inline panel with footer icon (tooltip when collapsed, dropdown when expanded).
|
||
|
||
Implemented:
|
||
- Icon button (BarChart3) in footer ✅
|
||
- Hover (collapsed) / dropdown (expanded) ✅
|
||
- Session email, role ✅
|
||
- Study counts (studies, selected) ✅
|
||
- System roles ✅
|
||
- Memberships ✅
|
||
- (Future) performance metrics (design hash drift, plugin load stats)
|
||
- No layout shift; consistent with sidebar interactions ✅
|
||
|
||
Benefits (Realized):
|
||
- Cleaner visual hierarchy ✅
|
||
- Diagnostics preserved without clutter ✅
|
||
- Dev-only visibility preserves production cleanliness ✅
|
||
|
||
#### 3. Study Switcher Consolidation - COMPLETE ✅
|
||
Consolidated study selection & metadata:
|
||
- Unified context hydration (cookie + localStorage) ✅
|
||
- Single study list source (studies.list) ✅
|
||
- Selected study metadata via `useSelectedStudyDetails` ✅
|
||
- Mutations & invalidations centralized in existing management hook ✅
|
||
Remaining: optional future reduction of legacy helper surface.
|
||
Future (optional): expose slimmer `useStudy()` facade if needed.
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Work Sequence (Next Commit Cycle)
|
||
1. Update docs (this section) ✅ (completed again with status changes)
|
||
2. Implement experiments.list aggregates + UI columns ✅
|
||
3. Sidebar debug → tooltip conversion ✅
|
||
4. Study switcher consolidation ✅
|
||
5. Update `work_in_progress.md` after each major step ✅
|
||
|
||
### Route Consolidation Success Criteria ✅
|
||
- ✅ **Global Routes Removed**: No more `/participants`, `/trials`, `/analytics` confusion
|
||
- ✅ **Study-Scoped Workflows**: All management flows through studies
|
||
- ✅ **Dashboard Working**: `/dashboard` loads properly with full layout
|
||
- ✅ **Navigation Updated**: All links, breadcrumbs, and forms use correct routes
