The scan terminal had grown into overlapping CSS, request-state, AI-provider, and city-card data responsibilities. This refactor separates those boundaries without changing product behavior: CSS modules are split by surface, city AI prompt/provider/fallback logic is isolated, and scan terminal request state now has reusable RemoteData adapters plus business-state tests.
Constraint: Preserve existing global scan-terminal class names and API responses during the refactor
Constraint: No new dependencies; keep this as a file-boundary cleanup
Rejected: Introduce React Query now | higher migration risk than the requested lightweight query-client path
Rejected: Rewrite AI stream behavior | progressive/fallback states are product-sensitive and were only adapter-split
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep AI stream state changes covered by business snapshots before changing fallback/cache wording
Tested: npm run test:business; npx tsc --noEmit; npm run build; python pytest -q; ruff check; py_compile targeted city AI modules
Not-tested: Live DeepSeek provider network replay and browser visual QA
The scan terminal hooks were each carrying their own fetch, SSE parsing, error normalization, previous-data handling, and market request behavior. This adds a small scanTerminalClient plus RemoteData helpers so terminal data, city detail, market scans, and AI city streams share one request boundary without introducing React Query.
Constraint: Do not add dependencies or change backend API contracts.
Rejected: Introduce React Query immediately | too broad for this release and would force larger UI state rewrites.
Rejected: Move localStorage caches in the same pass | safer to first isolate network and stream IO before cache policy migration.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Tested: npm run build
Not-tested: Live SSE cancellation against production latency.
ScanTerminalDashboard had accumulated terminal fetching, theme persistence, local clock updates, and AI pinned-city hydration in one component. Moving those responsibilities into focused hooks keeps the screen component as the composition layer while preserving the existing UI and data flow.
Constraint: Refactor must not change the current decision-card or scan-terminal behavior.
Rejected: Split visual card components in the same commit | too much surface area for one safe refactor pass.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Tested: npm run build
Not-tested: Browser manual regression across map, calendar, and pinned-card interactions.
