Lucas WintherandClaude Opus 5 a039176aa3 docs: prune TODO.md, and correct four claims that were no longer true
TODO.md becomes a TODO again: only work that is actually queued. Five of
its seven sections were finished work, and their reasoning has permanent
homes — the rules moved to AGENTS.md (the baked rates seed a new dataset
only, never a fallback), the rest is in the commit messages and the
specs. 215 lines to 131.

The four corrections, all of them things a reader would have believed:

- README said the install prompt could not work because the manifest
  "only ships an SVG icon". It has shipped 192x192 and 512x512 PNGs since
  f50c65b. Now stated as unverified rather than incomplete, which is what
  it actually is.
- TODO said no browser had seen the two rule-editing surfaces, while its
  own section 5 listed both as seen and confirmed.
- TODO said "merged to main" when the last three commits were on a
  branch.
- scripts/screenshot.ts explained its own existence by saying
  ARCHITECTURE.md and TODO.md claim no browser can run here. Both now say
  the opposite — partly because of that script.

ARCHITECTURE.md's gotchas section now says AGENTS.md holds the
enforceable form of those rules and this holds the mechanism, so a reader
hitting the overlap knows which is canonical.

# TODO
Work still queued, for whoever picks it up next, human or agent. Ordered. Each
item says enough to act on without re-deriving the reasoning.
Finished work is not listed here. It is in the commit messages, and the
decisions behind it are in `docs/specs/` — one spec per sub-project,
each recording the alternatives that were rejected. Rules that outlived their
task moved to `AGENTS.md`.
**Current state:** 443 tests passing, `bunx tsc --noEmit` clean, `bun run build`
succeeds on both the live-fetch and offline paths. The month view redesign and
the reset button are on branch `month-view-and-reset`, not yet merged to `main`.
**Schema is at version 3.** v1 -> v2 made allocation rules a dated series;
v2 -> v3 moved currencies into the dataset. Both migrations are
behaviour-preserving by construction and tested as such.
---
## 1. Visual redesign, sub-project 3 — Year, Summary, Post detail
The owner's brief for the whole redesign: *"right now it looks a bit boring,
simple and ugly. We want sleek, modern, and nice to use."* On scoping: both
themes with a toggle, a full rethink of every screen, purchases compact and
grouped by date, ship a webfont — and *"override everything you want for this
step."*
Sub-projects 1 (design foundation, `bb3c661`) and 2 (month view, `7b71811`) are
done, each with a spec in `docs/specs/`. These three screens are on
the new foundation but have not been rethought. The open question is the
12-month matrix: it only fits by scrolling, and compact number formatting may be
what replaces that rather than a scroll container.
**The diagnosis that shaped the decomposition, which still applies:** a design
system already existed and was never wired up. `src/index.css` defined the
paper/ink/teal palette with a contract document behind it, while the app painted
shadcn's default white and near-black; the tokens reached the screen in two
places only. Doing the foundation last is how that happened. Do not repeat it —
extend the foundation rather than styling a screen locally.
**Three things sub-project 2 settled that these screens should inherit rather
than re-decide** (spec: `2026-09-02-month-view-design.md`):
- **Meter geometry lives in `src/ui/meterSegments.ts`**, pure and tested, with
`<Meter>` as the only thing that paints it. A third meter belongs there too,
not inline in a component. Negatives clamp rather than invert, because a
segment of negative width puts the gradient's stops out of order and paints
something arbitrary instead of failing.
- **Two markups, not one reflowing grid.** The post table is a real `<table>`
from `sm:` up and a list of two-line blocks below it. At 390px the layout
genuinely stops being a table, and `role="table"` on it would describe rows
and columns that no longer exist on screen. The year matrix faces the same
question with more columns to lose.
- **State the currency once per table, not per cell.** Every figure in the post
table is base currency, so `formatSignedAmount` prints bare numbers and the
legend names DKK once. This is what stopped "+4,219.61 DKK" wrapping on a
phone. `formatMoney` is still right wherever an amount can be in some other
currency — every purchase row, for one.
## 2. Visual redesign, sub-project 4 — dialogs and fast entry
Untouched. Native `<select>` elements are still browser-default, and
`up` / `down` / `archive` in Settings are bare text buttons. Covers the purchase
dialog, the split editor, the plan editor and bulk entry.
There is already a spec for fast-entry *behaviour* —
`2026-09-02-fast-entry-refinements-design.md`. Read it before restyling, so the
visual work does not fight it.
## 3. Currency work deliberately left undone
All three were decided against at the time, not forgotten. Reopen only with a
reason.
- **The income field and the split editor's fixed-amount fields do not parse a
currency** — only the purchase total does. Same helper (`parseMoneyInput`),
same three-line pattern. The income field is arguably wrong to make
multi-currency at all, since a month has one income.
- **No currency picker convenience.** Adding a currency means typing the code,
name, symbol and decimals by hand. A bundled ISO 4217 list would be nicer, and
is pure data.
- **Symbol collisions resolve to the first currency defined with that symbol.**
Fine for one "$" currency; if the owner adds two, typing the code
disambiguates and nothing warns them. Tested, documented, not solved.
## 4. Nobody has independently reviewed the rule-history editing surfaces
Tasks 3-6 of the versioned-allocation-rules work — `setRuleFrom` /
`removeRuleFrom`, the JSON import validation, the Settings rule-history editor,
and the month view's "change from here" — were executed by hand rather than
dispatched, and no second pair of eyes has been over the diff.
Worth reading first: the task log in
`.superpowers/sdd/2026-09-02-versioned-allocation-rules/` records every deviation
from the original briefs with its reasoning. Four of them fixed real defects in
the brief code — JSX that would not compile, a component that pre-filled the
previous post's rule, a number field that could not be cleared, and missing
validation that let a NaN allocation into the fold.
Both surfaces have since been seen working in a browser. What is missing is
review, not verification.
## 5. Still needs a human
`scripts/screenshot.ts` drives headless Chrome, so this list is much shorter
than it was. Already seen and confirmed working: the carry meter (including red
where a post is overspent), the rule-history editor, "change from here", the
baked FX rates arriving in a fresh dataset, the reset writing a fresh dataset to
IndexedDB, and every route at desktop and mobile widths in both themes.
Genuinely outstanding:
- **How it looks and feels.** A screenshot proves a layout is not broken. It
cannot tell you the design is good, and the container's fonts are not the
owner's fonts.
- **Offline behaviour** and the **install prompt**. The service worker itself is
no longer unverified: it demonstrably installs, activates, claims the page,
precaches all 11 assets, and applies an update cleanly (`e6da85e`). What is
still unverified is a real offline load with the network actually cut, and
Chrome's install prompt appearing.
- **The pre-destructive backup actually landing as a file.** Import and reset
both download a JSON backup before replacing the dataset, and only proceed
when that reports success — but headless Chrome's download is not observable
here, so the backup is *issued*, never confirmed openable.
- **The generated `.ods` opening in a real spreadsheet.** Validated
structurally: mimetype first and stored, well-formed XML, numeric cells.
- **Keyboard flow in fast entry** — Tab traversal, Backspace-to-remove, and
focus placement after a row auto-appends. Drivable over CDP in principle; not
yet done.
- **GitHub Actions** has never been executed.
