# Color Field Type - Quick Reference

## Implementation Overview

**Feature:** Dynamic field type `color` with dual input (color picker + hex text)
**Status:** Code implemented ✅ | Documentation missing ❌ | Manual testing required ⏳
**Branch:** feature/right_click_options

---

## XML Usage

```xml
<dynamic_field
  id="theme_color"
  type="color"
  name="brand_color"
  title="Brand Color"
  description="Choose your brand color"
  value="#3b82f6"
  required="true"
/>
```

**Attributes:**
- `type="color"` - Renders color picker + hex input
- `value` - Hex color code (e.g., "#3b82f6", "#ff5500")
- `required` - Boolean, enforces validation

---

## UI Rendering

**Visual Layout:**
```
[🟦 Color Picker] [#3b82f6         ]
 10x10 square      Hex text input
```

**Component:** `packages/ui/src/components/Panel/DynamicFieldInput.tsx` (lines 136-153)

**Implementation:**
```tsx
case 'color':
  return (
    <div className="flex items-center gap-2">
      <input type="color" value={field.value || '#000000'} onChange={...} />
      <input type="text" value={field.value || '#000000'} onChange={...} />
    </div>
  );
```

---

## Behavior

### Synchronized State
- Both inputs share same `field.value`
- Both call `onChange(e.target.value)`
- Updates propagate instantly

### Color Picker Interaction
1. User clicks color square → OS color chooser opens
2. User selects color → Both inputs update

### Hex Input Interaction
1. User types hex value → Color picker updates
2. Invalid hex → Accepted (no validation) ⚠️
3. Browser's color picker ignores invalid values

### Default Value
- Fallback: `#000000` (black)
- Prevents undefined states

---

## Known Issues

### Issue 1: Documentation Missing (CRITICAL)
**Severity:** HIGH
**Impact:** AI agents can't use feature

**Files requiring updates:**
- `prompts/claude-code.md`
- `prompts/cline.md`
- `prompts/cursor.md`
- `prompts/sixth.md`
- `prompts/gh_copilot.md`
- `prompts/overture-instructions.md`

**Required addition to Field Types table:**
```markdown
| `color` | Color picker with hex input | `name`, `title`, `value` (hex) |
```

### Issue 2: No Hex Validation (MEDIUM)
**Severity:** MEDIUM
**Impact:** UX confusion when invalid hex typed

**Current behavior:**
- Text input accepts any value: "invalid", "#gg0000", "red"
- Color picker doesn't update (ignores invalid)
- User confused why value not accepted

**Recommended fix:**
```typescript
const hexPattern = /^#([A-Fa-f0-9]{6}|[A-Fa-f0-9]{3})$/;
const handleHexChange = (value: string) => {
  if (value === '' || hexPattern.test(value)) {
    onChange(value);
  }
};
```

## Test Plan Summary

**10 Manual Test Scenarios:**
1. Color picker renders correctly
2. Color picker interaction (click → select → update)
3. Hex input interaction (type → update picker)
4. Invalid hex handling (no crash)
5. Required field validation
6. Multiple independent color fields
7. Mixed field types
8. Save and persist to history
9. Styling consistency (dark mode, spacing)
10. Default value rendering

**Test Plans Created:**
- `test-plan-color-basic.xml` - Basic rendering
- `test-plan-color-required.xml` - Required validation
- `test-plan-color-multiple.xml` - Multiple fields
- `test-plan-color-mixed-fields.xml` - Mixed types

**Test Script:** `submit-color-test.sh`

## Regression Test Checklist

After testing color field:
- [ ] Other field types still work (string, secret, select, boolean, number, question)
- [ ] Approval flow respects required fields
- [ ] Requirements checklist shows pending fields
- [ ] Field values passed to execution
- [ ] History persistence works
- [ ] Branch selection validation works

---

## API Submission (Manual Testing)

**Endpoint:** `POST http://localhost:3031/api/test-plan`

**Body:**
```json
{
  "plan_xml": "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><plan title=\"Test\" agent=\"claude-code\" prompt=\"Test color field\">...</plan>"
}
```

**Verification:**
1. Open http://localhost:3031 in browser
2. Plan appears in canvas
3. Click node → NodeDetailPanel opens
4. Color field renders with picker + hex input
