## Context The dashboard (`web/`, React 18 + Vite 6 + Tailwind v3) is served by Express as static files from `web/dist` (same origin as `/api` + SSE). `App.tsx` already uses a `grid-cols-1 lg:grid-cols-3` layout, so it collapses to a single column on mobile, but two things are missing for a good phone experience: (1) the `PriceMatrix` order book is a 6-column `` that overflows horizontally on ~360–430px screens, and (2) there is no install/mobile metadata (manifest, theme-color, apple-touch-icon). The app is real-time: the frontend consumes `/api/state` over SSE and shows a `connected` badge. A domain rule (honesty) forbids ever presenting stale or fake market data. The target runtime is the 24/7 VPS behind HTTPS at `arbpulse.wayool.com` (nginx + certbot, Cloudflare DNS-only). ## Goals / Non-Goals **Goals:** - Installable to the phone home screen (standalone, branded icon). - Responsive, touch-friendly dashboard on phones without regressing desktop. - Zero risk of showing cached/stale market data. - No new runtime dependencies; no change to build/deploy steps. **Non-Goals:** - Offline support of any kind (no cached app shell, no cached data). - Push notifications / background sync. - A native app or app-store packaging. - Redesigning the dashboard; this is layout + metadata only. ## Decisions ### D1: No service worker (installable via manifest + HTTPS only) Since Chrome 108 (mobile) / 112 (desktop), a service worker is no longer required to install from the browser menu / "Add to Home Screen"; iOS Safari never required one. No-op `fetch` handlers are now actively skipped and warned about by Chrome. Because this app must never serve cached data, we ship **no service worker at all**. - **Chosen:** manifest + icons + HTTPS → installable; SSE always fetches live data. - **Alternatives:** `vite-plugin-pwa`/Workbox with a shell precache (rejected: its value is offline/precaching, which conflicts with the no-stale-data rule and adds a dependency); a minimal passthrough SW just to get the auto-install banner (rejected: Chrome ignores no-op fetch handlers, and it adds a moving part for a banner we don't need — manual install from the menu is sufficient). - **Trade-off:** no automatic install prompt on Android; users install from the browser menu (the only path on iOS anyway). Acceptable. ### D2: PriceMatrix responsive strategy — stacked cards below `sm` Render per-venue cards (exchange + bid/ask/qty/spread as label–value rows) on small screens and keep the existing `
` from `sm` up. - **Chosen:** Tailwind responsive classes to swap layouts (`block sm:table` pattern or two branches gated by breakpoint) — no JS, no `matchMedia`, purely CSS. - **Alternative:** wrap the table in `overflow-x-auto` (rejected as primary: a 6-column price table sideways-scrolling on a phone is poor UX for the primary widget; horizontal scroll can remain as a defensive fallback). ### D3: Icons derived from one master Generate a single ArbPulse master icon (pulse line → Bitcoin "B", blue→green on `#0a0e14`) and derive `icon-192.png`, `icon-512.png`, `icon-maskable-512.png` (with safe padding), and `apple-touch-icon.png` (180). Store under `web/public/` so Vite copies them verbatim to `web/dist`. - **theme_color/background_color:** `#0a0e14` (matches the dashboard background). ### D4: Manifest + head metadata, same-origin `manifest.webmanifest` uses `start_url: "/"`, `scope: "/"`, `display: "standalone"`. `index.html` adds `theme-color`, `apple-mobile-web-app-capable`, `apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style`, `apple-mobile-web-app-title`, `viewport-fit=cover` (already has `width=device-width, initial-scale=1`), and links to the manifest + apple-touch-icon. Everything is same-origin, so no CORS/proxy concerns and the existing Express static + SPA fallback serve it unchanged. ## Risks / Trade-offs - [Stale data if a SW is ever added later] → Documented no-SW decision; if a SW is introduced in the future it MUST deny-list `/api` and never cache the SSE stream. - [iOS quirks: no auto-prompt, status-bar/notch rendering] → Provide `apple-touch-icon`, `apple-mobile-web-app-*`, and `viewport-fit=cover`; verify on a real iPhone (Add to Home Screen), not just Android. - [PriceMatrix layout duplication risk] → Keep a single data mapping and switch only presentation via breakpoints to avoid divergent desktop/mobile logic. - [Maskable icon getting cropped] → Keep the glyph within the ~80% safe zone in the maskable variant.
