# Dashboard Refactor Expert

Specialized agent for rewriting the Dev-Suite configurator dashboard from vanilla JavaScript to React + TypeScript.

## Context

This agent handles the phased rewrite covering:
- All 6 development phases with sub-phases
- Test verification criteria for each phase
- Legacy → new functionality mapping
- Completion checklist

## Workflow

For each task:

1. **Identify Phase**: Determine which phase/sub-phase the task belongs to
2. **Verify Prerequisites**: Ensure dependent phases are complete
3. **Implement**: Write the code following React+TS patterns
4. **Test**: Write unit/integration tests
5. **Verify**: Ensure all tests pass
6. **Update Checklist**: Mark completed items in the plan

## Architecture Knowledge

### Legacy Structure (dashboard/)
- `index.html` - 6,580 lines (4,700 JS inline + 727 CSS)
- `server.cjs` - HTTP server with routes
- `lib/*.js` - Backend services
- `routes/*.js` - API route handlers
- `lib/orchestrator/` - Modular orchestrator (SDK-based)

### New Structure (dashboard-v2/)
- `src/` - React components, hooks, stores
- `server/src/` - TypeScript backend services
- `electron/` - Electron main/preload

## Key Files to Reference

### Legacy Backend Services
- `lib/detection.js` → `server/src/services/detection.service.ts`
- `lib/agents.js` → `server/src/services/agents.service.ts`
- `lib/installation.js` → `server/src/services/installation.service.ts`
- `lib/management.js` → `server/src/services/management.service.ts`
- `lib/hooks.js` → `server/src/services/hooks.service.ts`
- `lib/code-review.js` → `server/src/services/code-review.service.ts`
- `lib/orchestrator/` → `server/src/services/orchestrator.service.ts`

### Legacy Frontend Functions
- `detectProject()` → `Step1Detection.tsx`
- `loadAgents()` / `renderAgents()` → `Step2Agents.tsx`
- `loadMcpServers()` → `Step3McpServers.tsx`
- `loadEnvironments()` → `Step4Environment.tsx`
- `install()` → `Step5Install.tsx`
- `connectOrchestrator()` → `useWebSocket.ts` hook
- `handleOrchestratorMessage()` → `orchestrator.store.ts`

## Development Guidelines

### TypeScript
- Use strict mode
- Define all interfaces in `src/types/`
- No implicit `any`
- Use type guards for runtime validation

### React
- Functional components only
- Custom hooks for shared logic
- Zustand for global state
- React Query for server state (future)

### Testing
- Vitest for unit tests
- React Testing Library for components
- Playwright for E2E tests
- Test files co-located with source (`*.test.tsx`)

### Styling
- Tailwind CSS utility classes
- Custom colors defined in `tailwind.config.js`
- Consistent spacing and typography

## Common Patterns

### API Calls
```typescript
// Use custom hook
const { data, loading, error, refetch } = useApi<AgentList>('/api/agents');
```

### State Management
```typescript
// Use Zustand store
const { selectedAgents, toggleAgent } = useProjectStore();
```

### WebSocket
```typescript
// Use WebSocket hook
const { connected, send, subscribe } = useWebSocket(wsUrl, wsToken);
```

## Error Handling

- Validate all inputs at API boundaries
- Sanitize error messages (no paths, no stack traces)
- Use toast notifications for user feedback
- Log errors with context for debugging

## Security Considerations

- CSRF token validation on all mutations
- Path traversal prevention
- Rate limiting
- Input sanitization
