Removed the scan KPI bar, trimmed redundant decision-card content, and shortened the primary reason text so the city analysis cards read like concise signals instead of repeating the same state across sections.
Constraint: Keep existing city decision logic and data flow unchanged while simplifying the UI
Rejected: Rework the full card layout or mobile card flow | larger surface area than requested
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep hero, decision band, and market line responsibilities separate to avoid duplicate copy returning
Tested: frontend npm run build
Not-tested: Manual visual QA in browser across desktop/mobile breakpoints
Proxy routes now share one upstream-error adapter so client-actionable statuses such as auth, entitlement, validation, and rate limits survive the BFF instead of becoming opaque 502s. The scan terminal mobile overrides also load last and remove desktop rail constraints so phones get a single readable column.
Constraint: Mobile users reported the dashboard was unreadable, and BFF proxy errors were masking expected client states.
Rejected: Let every route keep bespoke error JSON | continued inconsistent status codes and production detail leakage.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep ScanTerminalMobile.module.css imported after desktop scan-terminal CSS so mobile breakpoints win.
Tested: npx tsc --noEmit --pretty false --project frontend/tsconfig.json
Tested: npm run build
Tested: npm run test:business
Tested: Chrome mobile smoke test at 390px with no horizontal overflow
Not-tested: Real device Safari/Android manual QA
The dashboard had several oversized orchestration, component, and CSS files that made product-copy changes and mobile/performance work risky. This refactor preserves behavior while splitting scan terminal CSS, opportunity helpers, future forecast panels, history/detail charts, and probability/model sections into smaller ownership boundaries.
Constraint: No user-visible version bump because this batch is architecture and performance cleanup, not a release announcement.
Rejected: Rewrite dashboard state management in the same batch | too broad for a safe upload after CSS and component splitting.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep new component/CSS boundaries instead of moving product copy back into the large dashboard files.
Tested: npm run build; npm run test:business; git diff --check
Not-tested: Browser visual smoke test after push
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
Dashboard.module.css mixed base shell styles with the entire scan terminal surface, making every decision-card or calendar styling pass risky. This extracts the scan terminal layer into its own CSS module and attaches that module root beside the existing dashboard root so global class selectors keep their current behavior.
Constraint: Preserve existing global scan-* class names and visual cascade.
Rejected: Rename scan classes into scoped module keys | too much DOM churn for a behavior-preserving CSS split.
Rejected: Split card/calendar/mobile rules in the same pass | safer to establish the scan-terminal layer first before finer component CSS ownership.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Tested: npm run build
Not-tested: Pixel-level browser comparison across dark and light themes.
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.
Users needed reassurance that unavailable quotes and long AI evidence are normal states, not broken systems. This adds a v1.5.5 upgrade announcement, softens market-unavailable copy, surfaces a one-line recommendation reason, and makes mobile cards prioritize observed temperature, expected high, peak timing, AI expansion, and a separate market line.
Constraint: Keep existing dashboard data contracts and avoid backend schema changes.
Rejected: Hide unavailable market rows entirely | users still need to know weather evidence remains usable without a quote.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Tested: npm run build
Not-tested: Browser visual QA on physical mobile devices.
