Session CONV-7 · session · offplan.online

Resume Prompt

This session completed a full Playwright UX audit of dev.admin.cote.volumevision.app and created real test records (Building "Claude Test"/40530, Level 41653, Floor Plan 5719, Unit C101/41560). Findings are in docs/ux-audit-vv-admin-2026-04-23.md and two Learnings are saved to Notion. The session had no active workstream. The natural next move is to define the first product workstream with Roman — use the UX audit findings as a concrete input to decide whether the first workstream is (a) VV Admin UX fixes for self-serve readiness, or (b) building the offplan.online productisation layer on top of the existing VV codebase. Before starting any code: write the pending ADR for .env location convention (docs/decisions/) and reconcile LOCAL-2026-04-22-1 in Notion. Run /plan once the workstream direction is agreed.

Summary

Read the remainder of Roman's Sales Platform Sales Suite guide (floor plans, units, gallery, rooms/panoramas, hotspots sections), then ran a full Playwright-based UX audit of dev.admin.cote.volumevision.app. Explored all 10 admin sections and captured 185+ screenshots. Actually created real records in the dev database: Building "Claude Test" (ID 40530), Level 1 "Ground Floor" (41653), Floor Plan "Claude-1BR" (5719, 1bed/1bath/1carpark), and Unit C101 (41560, Available, North, $500k) — all confirmed via API responses. Documented 7 UX issues including two critical bugs: (1) React re-renders clear unit text inputs when dropdowns are selected, requiring users to fill dropdowns before text fields; (2) both Angle and Floor Plan creation require image uploads but only reveal this on Save with no upfront signalling. Wrote a full user-journey UX report and saved two Learnings to Notion.

Changes

docs/ux-audit-vv-admin-2026-04-23.md — created; full UX audit with severity ratings, self-serve readiness table, priority fix order

Decisions

Decided to actually create records in the real dev environment rather than observe only, because the user explicitly approved it ("yes it is fine go ahead i told you about it already"). This gave us real API response data and confirmed what the backend actually requires vs. what the frontend shows.

Used bounding-box position filtering (x>700, y>150) to distinguish right-panel form inputs from sidebar and header inputs, after document.querySelector('nav') returned null — the sidebar is a MUI div, not a semantic nav element.

Used a minimal JPEG file upload via Playwright setInputFiles() to unblock floor plan creation — the frontend form validation requires an image before the Save button triggers any API call (0 POST requests without it).

Next Steps

Write ADR: .env location convention (pending since CONV-3) — create docs/decisions/000N-env-location.md
Clean up test records in dev admin if needed (Building "Claude Test", Level 41653, Floor Plan 5719, Unit 41560 in building_id=40530)
Define first product workstream with Roman — use UX findings in docs/ux-audit-vv-admin-2026-04-23.md as input
Reconcile LOCAL-2026-04-22-1 in Notion

Open Questions

Can Denis alone close frontend Phase 1 and in what timeframe?
Tenant isolation — how is it implemented in the current VV codebase?
GDPR/DPA — are there documents or does it need to be created from scratch?
What is the priority order: fix VV Admin UX bugs vs. build offplan.online productisation layer?

Context for next session

Test records now exist in dev.admin.cote.volumevision.app under "Claude Test" project (building_id=40530). The Playwright scripts are in /tmp/admin-test/ (ephemeral, not committed). The UX audit is at docs/ux-audit-vv-admin-2026-04-23.md. Two Learnings are now in Notion tagged ux/gotcha/domain/testing. The correct unit creation order (discovered the hard way): select all MUI dropdowns first, THEN fill text inputs — React re-renders on dropdown change clear text field values.
