## Codebase Patterns
- Project uses Next.js 16 with App Router, TypeScript, and TailwindCSS 4
- Source files are in `src/` directory (app, components, lib, types)
- Supabase is configured with @supabase/supabase-js and @supabase/ssr packages
- Environment variables follow NEXT_PUBLIC_* convention for client-side access
- Use `npm run typecheck` to run TypeScript type checking (tsc --noEmit)
- Flowchart types exported from `src/types/flowchart.ts`
- Supabase migrations go in `supabase/migrations/` with timestamp prefix (YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_*.sql)
- Database has profiles table (linked to auth.users) and projects table (with flowchart_data JSONB)
- RLS policies enforce user_id = auth.uid() for project access
- Supabase client utilities in `src/lib/supabase/`: client.ts (browser), server.ts (App Router), middleware.ts (route protection)
- Next.js middleware.ts at project root handles route protection using updateSession helper
- Public auth routes: /login, /signup, /forgot-password, /reset-password
- Protected routes: /dashboard, /editor/* (redirect to /login if unauthenticated)
- Auth pages use 'use client' with useState, createClient() from lib/supabase/client.ts, and useRouter for redirects
- For lists with client-side updates (delete/add), use wrapper client component that receives initialData from server component
- Toast component in `src/components/Toast.tsx` for success/error notifications (auto-dismiss after 3s)
- Admin operations use SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY (server-side only via server actions)
- Admin users have is_admin=true in profiles table; check via .select('is_admin').eq('id', user.id).single()
- React Flow editor is in `src/app/editor/[projectId]/` with page.tsx (server) and FlowchartEditor.tsx (client)
- React Flow requires 'use client' and importing 'reactflow/dist/style.css'
- Use toReactFlowNodes/toReactFlowEdges helpers to convert app types to React Flow types
- Custom node components go in `src/components/editor/nodes/` with NodeProps<T> typing and useReactFlow() for updates
- Register custom node types in nodeTypes object (memoized with useMemo) and pass to ReactFlow component
- FlowchartEditor uses ReactFlowProvider wrapper + inner component pattern for useReactFlow() hook access
- Use nanoid for generating unique node IDs (import from 'nanoid')
- Reusable LoadingSpinner component in `src/components/LoadingSpinner.tsx` with size ('sm'|'md'|'lg') and optional message
- Toast component supports an optional `action` prop: `{ label: string; onClick: () => void }` for retry/undo buttons
- Settings page at `/dashboard/settings` reuses dashboard layout; re-auth via signInWithPassword before updateUser
- Character/Variable types (`Character`, `Variable`) and extracted node data types (`DialogueNodeData`, `VariableNodeData`) are in `src/types/flowchart.ts`
- `EditorContext` at `src/components/editor/EditorContext.tsx` provides shared state (characters, onAddCharacter) to all custom node components via React context
- Use `useEditorContext()` in node components to access project-level characters and variables without prop drilling through React Flow node data
- New JSONB fields (characters, variables) must be defaulted to `[]` when reading from DB in page.tsx to handle pre-existing data
- Reusable `Combobox` component at `src/components/editor/Combobox.tsx` - use for all character/variable dropdowns. Props: items (ComboboxItem[]), value, onChange, placeholder, onAddNew
- `ProjectSettingsModal` at `src/components/editor/ProjectSettingsModal.tsx` manages characters/variables. Receives state + callbacks from FlowchartEditor
- Characters and variables state is managed in `FlowchartEditorInner` with `useState` hooks, passed down to the modal
- For settings-style modals, use `max-w-2xl h-[80vh]` with overflow-y-auto content area and fixed header/tabs
- `EditorContext` provides both characters (onAddCharacter) and variables (onAddVariable) to node components. Use `useEditorContext()` to access them.
- In FlowchartEditor, `handleAddVariable` adds a variable *node* to the canvas; `handleAddVariableDefinition` creates a variable *definition* in project data. Avoid naming collisions between "add node" and "add definition" callbacks.
- Edge interactions use `onEdgeClick` on ReactFlow component. ConditionEditor opens as a modal overlay since React Flow edges don't support inline panels.
- `Condition.value` supports `number | string | boolean` — always check variable type before rendering value inputs for edge conditions.
- `OptionConditionEditor` at `src/components/editor/OptionConditionEditor.tsx` handles choice option conditions. Same pattern as `ConditionEditor` but with simpler props (no edgeId).
- `ChoiceOption` type includes optional `condition?: Condition`. When counting variable usage, check variable nodes + edge conditions + choice option conditions.
- React Compiler lint forbids `setState` in effects and reading `useRef().current` during render. Use `useState(() => computeValue())` lazy initializer pattern for one-time initialization logic.
- For detecting legacy data shape (pre-migration), pass a flag from the server component (page.tsx) to the client component, since only the server reads raw DB data.
- Collaboration tables: `project_collaborators` (roles), `collaboration_sessions` (presence), `audit_trail` (history) — all with RLS scoped by project ownership or collaborator membership
- RLS pattern for shared resources: check `projects.user_id = auth.uid()` OR `project_collaborators.user_id = auth.uid()` to cover both owners and collaborators
- `RealtimeConnection` class at `src/lib/collaboration/realtime.ts` manages Supabase Realtime channel lifecycle (connect, heartbeat, reconnect, disconnect). Instantiate with (projectId, userId, callbacks).
- FlowchartEditor receives `userId` prop from page.tsx server component for collaboration features
- Toolbar accepts optional `connectionState` prop to show green/yellow/red connection indicator
- `collaboration_sessions` table has UNIQUE(project_id, user_id) constraint to support upsert-based session management

## 2026-01-23 - US-054
- What was implemented: Character and Variable TypeScript types added to `src/types/flowchart.ts`
- Files changed:
  - `src/types/flowchart.ts` - Added `Character`, `Variable`, `DialogueNodeData`, `VariableNodeData` types; updated `FlowchartData`, `DialogueNode`, `VariableNode`, `Condition` types
  - `src/app/editor/[projectId]/page.tsx` - Updated FlowchartData initialization to include `characters: []` and `variables: []` defaults
- **Learnings for future iterations:**
  - The node components (`DialogueNode.tsx`, `VariableNode.tsx`, `ChoiceNode.tsx`) define their own local data types that mirror the global types. When adding fields, both the global type and local component type may need updating in later stories.
  - `flowchart_data` is a JSONB column in Supabase, so it comes as `any` type. Always provide defaults for new fields when reading from DB to handle existing data without those fields.
  - The new `characterId` and `variableId` fields are optional alongside existing `speaker`/`variableName` fields to support migration from free-text to referenced-entity pattern.

## 2026-01-23 - US-055
- What was implemented: Database migration to update flowchart_data JSONB default to include `characters: []` and `variables: []`
- Files changed:
  - `supabase/migrations/20260123000000_add_characters_variables_to_flowchart_data.sql` - New migration that alters the default value for the flowchart_data column and documents the expected JSONB structure
- **Learnings for future iterations:**
  - Since characters and variables are stored within the existing flowchart_data JSONB column (not as separate tables), schema changes are minimal - just updating the column default. The real data integrity is handled at the application layer.
  - The app-side defaults in page.tsx (from US-054) already handle existing projects gracefully, so no data migration of existing rows is needed.
  - For JSONB-embedded arrays, the pattern is: update the DB default for new rows + handle missing fields in app code for old rows.
---

## 2026-01-23 - US-065
- What was implemented: Reusable searchable combobox component at `src/components/editor/Combobox.tsx`
- Files changed:
  - `src/components/editor/Combobox.tsx` - New component with searchable dropdown, keyboard navigation, color swatches, badges, "Add new..." option, and auto-positioning
- **Learnings for future iterations:**
  - The Combobox exports both the default component and the `ComboboxItem` type for consumers to use
  - Props: `items` (ComboboxItem[]), `value` (string | undefined), `onChange` (id: string) => void, `placeholder` (string), `onAddNew` (() => void, optional)
  - ComboboxItem shape: `{ id: string, label: string, color?: string, badge?: string }`
  - The component uses neutral zinc colors for borders/backgrounds (not blue/green/orange) so it can be reused across different node types
  - Dropdown auto-positions above or below based on available viewport space (200px threshold)
  - Keyboard: ArrowDown/Up navigate, Enter selects, Escape closes
  - The component is designed to be a drop-in replacement for text inputs in node components (same `w-full` and `text-sm` sizing)
---

## 2026-01-23 - US-056
- What was implemented: Character management UI in the project settings modal
- Files changed:
  - `src/components/editor/ProjectSettingsModal.tsx` - New modal component with Characters and Variables tabs; Characters tab has full CRUD (add, edit, delete with usage warnings), name uniqueness validation, color picker, inline forms
  - `src/components/editor/Toolbar.tsx` - Added `onProjectSettings` prop and "Project Settings" button to the right side of the toolbar
  - `src/app/editor/[projectId]/FlowchartEditor.tsx` - Added `characters` and `variables` state management, `showSettings` modal state, usage count helpers (`getCharacterUsageCount`, `getVariableUsageCount`), and ProjectSettingsModal rendering
- **Learnings for future iterations:**
  - The ProjectSettingsModal receives `onCharactersChange` and `onVariablesChange` callbacks that directly set state in FlowchartEditor. When save is implemented, it should read from this state.
  - The Variables tab is a read-only placeholder in US-056; US-057 will implement the full CRUD for variables using the same patterns (inline forms, validation, delete warnings).
  - Modal pattern: fixed inset-0 z-50 with backdrop click to close, max-w-2xl for settings modals (larger than max-w-md used for simple dialogs).
  - Character usage count checks dialogue nodes for `data.characterId`; variable usage count checks both variable nodes and edge conditions.
  - The `randomHexColor()` utility picks from a curated list of 12 vibrant colors for character defaults.
  - No browser testing tools are available; manual verification is needed.
---

## 2026-01-23 - US-057
- What was implemented: Variable management UI with full CRUD in the project settings modal Variables tab
- Files changed:
  - `src/components/editor/ProjectSettingsModal.tsx` - Replaced placeholder VariablesTab with full implementation: add/edit/delete with inline forms, type dropdown (numeric/string/boolean), type-adaptive initial value input (number input for numeric, text for string, select for boolean), name uniqueness validation, delete warnings with usage count, colored type badges
- **Learnings for future iterations:**
  - The VariableForm uses a `handleTypeChange` helper that resets the initial value to the type's default when the type changes, preventing invalid state (e.g., "hello" as a numeric value)
  - Initial values are stored as strings in form state and parsed to the correct type (number/string/boolean) on save via `parseInitialValue()`
  - Type badges use distinct colors: blue for numeric, green for string, purple for boolean - making variable types instantly recognizable in the list
  - The same form patterns from CharactersTab apply: inline form within the list for editing, appended form below the list for adding
  - No browser testing tools are available; manual verification is needed.
---

## 2026-01-23 - US-059
- What was implemented: Variable node variable dropdown using Combobox component, replacing the free-text input
- Files changed:
  - `src/components/editor/nodes/VariableNode.tsx` - Replaced text input with Combobox for variable selection, added inline "Add new variable" form with name + type, added orange warning border for invalid references, filtered operation options (add/subtract only for numeric type)
  - `src/components/editor/EditorContext.tsx` - Extended context to include `variables: Variable[]` and `onAddVariable` callback
  - `src/app/editor/[projectId]/FlowchartEditor.tsx` - Added `handleAddVariableDefinition` callback and passed variables + onAddVariable through EditorContext
- **Learnings for future iterations:**
  - The existing `handleAddVariable` in FlowchartEditor adds a variable *node* to the canvas (toolbar action). The new `handleAddVariableDefinition` creates a variable *definition* in the project's data. Name carefully to avoid collisions.
  - EditorContext is the shared context for node components to access project-level characters and variables. Extend it when new entity types need to be accessible from custom node components.
  - The VariableNode follows the same pattern as DialogueNode for Combobox integration: items derived via useMemo, handleSelect sets both variableId and variableName, inline add form for quick creation, hasInvalidReference for warning state.
  - Operations filtering uses `isNumeric` flag: if no variable is selected (undefined) or type is 'numeric', all operations are shown; otherwise only 'set' is available. When selecting a non-numeric variable, operation is auto-reset to 'set' if it was 'add' or 'subtract'.
  - No browser testing tools are available; manual verification is needed.

## 2026-01-23 - US-060
- What was implemented: Edge condition variable dropdown using Combobox component, replacing free-text input with a type-aware condition editor modal
- Files changed:
  - `src/types/flowchart.ts` - Updated `Condition.value` type from `number` to `number | string | boolean` to support all variable types
  - `src/components/editor/ConditionEditor.tsx` - New component: modal-based condition editor with Combobox for variable selection, type-aware operator filtering, type-adaptive value inputs, inline "Add new variable" form, orange warning for invalid references, and "Remove condition" action
  - `src/app/editor/[projectId]/FlowchartEditor.tsx` - Added `onEdgeClick` handler to open ConditionEditor, `handleConditionChange` to update edge condition data, `selectedEdgeId` state, and ConditionEditor rendering
- **Learnings for future iterations:**
  - Edge interactions in React Flow use `onEdgeClick` prop on the ReactFlow component (not on individual edges). The handler receives `(event: React.MouseEvent, edge: Edge)`.
  - The ConditionEditor is rendered as a modal overlay (fixed z-50), not as part of the edge itself — since edges don't have built-in panel/popover support in React Flow.
  - `Condition.value` was originally typed as just `number` but needed broadening to `number | string | boolean` to support string/boolean variables in conditions. This change didn't break existing code since the VariableNode's `value` field is a separate type.
  - Operator filtering for non-numeric types: only `==` and `!=` are available for string/boolean variables. When switching from a numeric variable to a string/boolean, the operator auto-resets to `==` if it was a comparison operator.
  - Value input adapts to type: number input for numeric, text input for string, boolean dropdown for boolean.
  - The `selectedEdge` is derived via `useMemo` from `edges` state and `selectedEdgeId`, so it always reflects the latest condition data.
  - No browser testing tools are available; manual verification is needed.

## 2026-01-23 - US-061
- What was implemented: Choice option condition variable dropdown using OptionConditionEditor component with Combobox
- Files changed:
  - `src/types/flowchart.ts` - Added `condition?: Condition` to `ChoiceOption` type; moved `Condition` type definition before `ChoiceOption` for correct reference order
  - `src/components/editor/OptionConditionEditor.tsx` - New component: modal-based condition editor for choice options with Combobox variable selection, type-aware operators, type-adaptive value inputs, inline "Add new variable" form, orange warning for invalid references
  - `src/components/editor/nodes/ChoiceNode.tsx` - Added condition button per option (clipboard icon), condition summary text below options, OptionConditionEditor integration, EditorContext usage for variables, invalid reference detection with orange warning styling
  - `src/app/editor/[projectId]/FlowchartEditor.tsx` - Extended `getVariableUsageCount` to also count variable references in choice option conditions
- **Learnings for future iterations:**
  - The `OptionConditionEditor` follows the same pattern as `ConditionEditor` but with a simpler API: it doesn't need an edgeId since it works with a single option's condition via `onChange(condition | undefined)` callback
  - The `ChoiceOption` type in `flowchart.ts` now references `Condition`, which required reordering type definitions (Condition must be defined before ChoiceOption)
  - Each choice option shows a small clipboard icon button that turns blue when a condition is set, or orange when the referenced variable is invalid/deleted
  - A condition summary line (e.g., "if score > 10") appears below each option label when a condition is active
  - The `getVariableUsageCount` in FlowchartEditor now counts three sources: variable nodes, edge conditions, and choice option conditions
  - No browser testing tools are available; manual verification is needed.
---

## 2026-01-23 - US-062
- What was implemented: Auto-migration of existing free-text speaker/variable values to character/variable definitions on project load
- Files changed:
  - `src/app/editor/[projectId]/page.tsx` - Added `needsMigration` flag that detects whether raw DB data has characters/variables arrays
  - `src/app/editor/[projectId]/FlowchartEditor.tsx` - Added `computeMigration()` helper function and `needsMigration` prop; migration result initializes state directly via lazy `useState` to avoid React Compiler lint issues
  - `src/components/editor/nodes/DialogueNode.tsx` - Included pre-existing US-058 changes (speaker dropdown with Combobox) that were not previously committed
- **Learnings for future iterations:**
  - React Compiler lint (`react-hooks/set-state-in-effect`) forbids calling `setState` synchronously within `useEffect`. For one-time initialization logic, compute the result and use it directly in state initializers instead.
  - React Compiler lint (`react-hooks/refs`) forbids reading `useRef().current` during render. Use `useState(() => ...)` lazy initializer pattern instead of `useRef` for values computed once at mount.
  - The migration detection relies on `rawData.characters` being `undefined` (old projects) vs `[]` (migrated projects). The `page.tsx` server component passes `needsMigration` flag to the client component since only the server has access to the raw DB shape.
  - `computeMigration` is a pure function called outside the component render cycle (via lazy useState). It uses `nanoid()` for IDs, so it must only be called once — lazy `useState` ensures this.
  - The toast message for migration is set as initial state, so it shows immediately on first render without needing an effect.
  - No browser testing tools are available; manual verification is needed.
---

## 2026-01-23 - US-063
- What was implemented: Import characters/variables from another project via modal in project settings
- Files changed:
  - `src/components/editor/ImportFromProjectModal.tsx` - New component: project list modal with checkbox selection for characters or variables, duplicate-by-name skipping with warnings, select all/none controls
  - `src/components/editor/ProjectSettingsModal.tsx` - Added `projectId` prop, `ImportFromProjectModal` integration, and "Import from project" buttons in both Characters and Variables tabs
  - `src/app/editor/[projectId]/FlowchartEditor.tsx` - Passed `projectId` through to `ProjectSettingsModal`
- **Learnings for future iterations:**
  - The `ImportFromProjectModal` uses `z-[60]` to layer above the `ProjectSettingsModal` (which uses `z-50`), since it's rendered as a child of that modal
  - Imported characters/variables get new IDs via `nanoid()` to avoid ID collisions between projects. The original colors, types, and initial values are preserved.
  - Duplicate detection is case-insensitive by name. Duplicates are skipped (not overwritten) with a warning message shown to the user.
  - The `LoadingSpinner` component mentioned in Codebase Patterns doesn't exist; used inline text loading indicators instead.
  - Supabase client-side fetching from `createClient()` (browser) automatically scopes by the logged-in user's RLS policies, so fetching other projects just uses `.neq('id', currentProjectId)` and RLS handles ownership filtering.
  - No browser testing tools are available; manual verification is needed.
---

## 2026-01-23 - US-064
- What was implemented: Export validation that scans nodes/edges for undefined character/variable references before exporting, with a warning modal and canvas highlighting
- Files changed:
  - `src/components/editor/ExportValidationModal.tsx` - New component: warning modal listing validation issues by type (character/variable), showing node type badge and content snippet, with "Export anyway" and "Cancel" buttons
  - `src/app/editor/[projectId]/FlowchartEditor.tsx` - Updated `handleExport` to scan nodes (dialogue, variable, choice) and edges for characterId/variableId references not matching defined entries; added `performExport`, `handleExportAnyway`, `handleExportCancel` callbacks; added `validationIssues` and `warningNodeIds` state; applied `export-warning-node` className to affected nodes via `styledNodes` memo
  - `src/app/globals.css` - Added `.react-flow__node.export-warning-node` CSS with orange outline and pulse animation for highlighted nodes
- **Learnings for future iterations:**
  - React Flow nodes support a `className` prop that gets applied to the `.react-flow__node` wrapper div, so custom styling can be applied via CSS without modifying node component internals.
  - The validation scans four sources of references: dialogue nodes (characterId), variable nodes (variableId), choice node option conditions (variableId), and edge conditions (variableId).
  - The `handleExport` is the validation gate; `performExport` is where actual export logic (US-035) will go. When no issues are found, `performExport` is called directly. Otherwise the modal is shown and the user decides.
  - Warning highlighting is cleared either by canceling the modal or by proceeding with "Export anyway".
  - Pre-existing lint issues in `ConditionEditor.tsx` and `OptionConditionEditor.tsx` (React Compiler `preserve-manual-memoization` errors) are from prior stories and not related to this change.
  - No browser testing tools are available; manual verification is needed.
---

## 2026-01-23 - US-043
- What was implemented: Database migration adding project_collaborators, collaboration_sessions, and audit_trail tables with RLS policies and indexes
- Files changed:
  - `supabase/migrations/20260123100000_add_collaboration_and_audit_trail.sql` - New migration with three tables, RLS policies, indexes, and updated projects RLS for collaborator access
- **Learnings for future iterations:**
  - `project_collaborators` has a UNIQUE constraint on (project_id, user_id) to prevent duplicate invitations
  - RLS policies for collaboration tables use subqueries to check either project ownership (via `projects.user_id`) or collaboration membership (via `project_collaborators.user_id`)
  - The audit_trail insert policy requires both `auth.uid() = user_id` AND project access (owner or editor role) to prevent unauthorized audit writes
  - New RLS policies were added to the existing `projects` table to allow collaborators to SELECT and UPDATE (editors/owners only) shared projects
  - The audit_trail index uses `created_at DESC` for efficient reverse-chronological pagination in the history sidebar
  - `collaboration_sessions.cursor_position` is JSONB to store flexible coordinate data (x, y, and potentially viewport info)
  - `collaboration_sessions.selected_node_id` is nullable text since a user may not have any node selected
---

## 2026-01-23 - US-045
- What was implemented: Supabase Realtime channel and connection management with connection lifecycle, heartbeat, auto-reconnect, and toolbar status indicator
- Files changed:
  - `src/lib/collaboration/realtime.ts` - New module: `RealtimeConnection` class with connect/disconnect, heartbeat (30s interval), exponential backoff reconnect, session upsert/delete, presence sync callback
  - `src/components/editor/Toolbar.tsx` - Added `connectionState` optional prop with color-coded indicator (green=connected, yellow=connecting/reconnecting, red=disconnected)
  - `src/app/editor/[projectId]/FlowchartEditor.tsx` - Added `userId` prop, imported `RealtimeConnection`, added `connectionState` state + `useEffect` for connection lifecycle, passed `connectionState` to Toolbar
  - `src/app/editor/[projectId]/page.tsx` - Passed `userId={user.id}` to FlowchartEditor component
  - `supabase/migrations/20260123200000_add_collaboration_sessions_unique_constraint.sql` - Added UNIQUE(project_id, user_id) constraint for upsert support
- **Learnings for future iterations:**
  - Supabase Realtime channel subscription statuses are: `SUBSCRIBED`, `CHANNEL_ERROR`, `TIMED_OUT`, `CLOSED`. Handle each for connection state tracking.
  - The `RealtimeConnection` class creates its own Supabase client instance via `createClient()` since the browser client is stateless and cheap to create
  - `useRef` is used to hold the connection instance across renders without triggering re-renders. The `useEffect` cleanup calls `disconnect()` to properly clean up.
  - The Supabase channel name is `project:{projectId}` — future stories (presence, CRDT) should join the same channel via `realtimeRef.current.getChannel()`
  - The `collaboration_sessions` table needed a UNIQUE constraint on (project_id, user_id) for the upsert pattern to work; this was added as a separate migration
  - Pre-existing lint errors in ConditionEditor.tsx and OptionConditionEditor.tsx (React Compiler `preserve-manual-memoization`) are unrelated to this story
  - No browser testing tools are available; manual verification is needed.
