# Dependency graph
requires:
  - phase: 02-data-backup-recovery
    plan: "01"
    provides: "Backup REST API (status, run, snapshots, restore) and client api.js helpers"
provides:
  - BackupWidget React component on the Dashboard with health indicator, manual trigger, snapshot list, and restore UI
  - Dashboard integration (Row 4, beside SystemHealthWidget)
affects: [future dashboard layout changes, backup feature extensions]

# Tech tracking
tech-stack:
  added: []
  patterns:
    - "useAutoRefetch for polling with silent option (60s status, 120s snapshots)"
    - "computeHealth() pure function for backup age threshold logic"
    - "Inline expandable restore panel per snapshot (not a URL-less modal)"
    - "Dry-run preview required before restore button is enabled"

key-files:
  created:
    - client/src/components/BackupWidget.jsx
  modified:
    - client/src/pages/Dashboard.jsx
    - .changelog/v1.14.x.md

key-decisions:
  - "RestorePanel as inline expandable within SnapshotList (avoids URL-less modal per CLAUDE.md)"
  - "Dry-run preview must be completed before Restore button is active"
  - "BackupWidget placed in Dashboard Row 4 (system-status row) beside SystemHealthWidget"
  - "SnapshotList fetches lazily (only when expanded) to avoid unnecessary API calls"

patterns-established:
  - "computeHealth(status): pure function pattern for threshold-based health states"
  - "relativeTime(isoString): pure relative time formatter with future/past awareness"
  - "Silent auto-refetch + lazy expansion keeps widget compact until needed"

# Phase 2 Plan 02: Backup Dashboard Widget Summary

**BackupWidget on Dashboard with green/yellow/red health indicator, "Backup Now" toast trigger, expandable snapshot list, and inline dry-run restore panel with selective subdirectory filter**

## Performance

- **Duration:** ~10 min
- **Started:** 2026-02-26T22:08:38Z
- **Completed:** 2026-02-26T22:22:10Z
- **Tasks:** 2 of 2
- **Files modified:** 3

## Accomplishments

- Created BackupWidget component (402 lines) with full health/trigger/snapshot/restore UI
- Wired BackupWidget into Dashboard.jsx (import + Row 4 render)
- Verified backup API works end-to-end: server restarted, test backup ran, snapshot created at `/tmp/portos-backup-test/snapshots/2026-02-26T22-10-54`

## Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. **Task 1: Create BackupWidget component and add to Dashboard** - `516c7c7` (feat)

2. **Task 2: Verify complete backup system end-to-end** - `e0985c2` (checkpoint:human-verify — approved)

**Plan metadata:** pending final docs commit

## Files Created/Modified

- `client/src/components/BackupWidget.jsx` - Health indicator, manual backup trigger, expandable snapshot list, inline restore panel with dry-run preview and subdirFilter
- `client/src/pages/Dashboard.jsx` - Added BackupWidget import (alphabetically) and render in Row 4
- `.changelog/v1.14.x.md` - Added BackupWidget entry under Features

## Decisions Made

- RestorePanel is an inline expandable within each snapshot row (avoids URL-less modal pattern prohibited by CLAUDE.md)
- Restore button only enabled after a dry-run preview is completed — prevents accidental destructive restores
- SnapshotList component fetches lazily (only rendered when user expands the snapshots toggle)
- BackupWidget placed in Row 4 (system-status row) alongside SystemHealthWidget — infrastructure status belongs together

## Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

## Issues Encountered

- `/api/backup/status` returned `NOT_FOUND` initially — server was running with the old code (before Plan 02-01 changes). Restarted PM2 apps via `pm2 restart ecosystem.config.cjs` which resolved it.
- Test backup took ~2 minutes to complete (94,194 files) — background job, verified via status poll after completion.

## User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required for this plan. Backup destination path is configured via Settings UI.

## Next Phase Readiness

- Human verification approved: BackupWidget visible on dashboard with green health indicator, Backup Now button triggers toast, snapshots list shows test snapshot, selective restore preview works
- Phase 2 is complete — ready for Phase 3 (Health Auto Export)
