## Specification Compliance Guidelines

### How to Ensure Specification Adherence

1. **Before Each Phase**: Complete the Pre-Implementation Specification Gate
2. **During Implementation**: Reference specific SDD sections in each task
3. **After Each Task**: Run Specification Compliance checks
4. **Phase Completion**: Verify all specification requirements are met

### Deviation Protocol

If implementation cannot follow specification exactly:
1. Document the deviation and reason
2. Get approval before proceeding
3. Update SDD if the deviation is an improvement
4. Never deviate without documentation

### Known SDD Deviation

**SDD specifies `src/BuyerKiosk/Feature/SystemAlerts/`** but the codebase convention uses flat namespaces under `src/BuyerKiosk/` (e.g., `Support/`, `Chat/`, `Workbook/`). This plan uses **`src/BuyerKiosk/SystemAlerts/`** to follow the established convention. Update SDD directory map accordingly.

## Metadata Reference

- `[parallel: true]` - Tasks that can run concurrently
- `[component: component-name]` - For multi-component features
- `[ref: document/section; lines: X-Y]` - Links to specifications
- `[activity: type]` - Activity hint for specialist agent selection

---

## Context Priming

*GATE: You MUST fully read all files mentioned in this section before starting any implementation.*

**Specification**:

- `docs/specs/040-system-alerts/product-requirements.md` - Product Requirements (8 Must Have features, 2 Should Have, 2 Could Have, 11 edge cases)
- `docs/specs/040-system-alerts/solution-design.md` - Solution Design (6 ADRs, full API spec, DB schema, sequence diagrams)

**Key Design Decisions** (from SDD ADRs):

- **ADR-1**: All 3 tables in central DB `kiosk_buykiosk` (not per-store)
- **ADR-2**: Dedicated Ably channels `alerts:global` and `alerts:{typeNum}` (not existing store channels)
- **ADR-3**: Unified `NotificationManager` replaces direct toast rendering; chat delegates rendering but keeps its own logic
- **ADR-4**: No separate analytics table — JOINs on `systemAlertAcknowledgments` are sufficient
- **ADR-5**: Syncfusion RichTextEditor for alert body (init after modal shown)
- **ADR-6**: Single `alerts:global` channel for all-stores alerts (not N publishes)

**Implementation Context**:

- **Commands**:
  - Run tests: `./test.sh --testsuite unit`
  - Targeted tests: `cd userfrosting && ./vendor/bin/phpunit --filter "SystemAlert"`
  - Run migrations: `php userfrosting/conductor run`
  - CSS build: `php userfrosting/conductor build-css --minify`
  - Static analysis: `cd userfrosting && ./vendor/bin/phpstan analyse`

- **Patterns to Follow**:
  - Controller pattern: `userfrosting/src/BuyerKiosk/Chat/Controllers/ChatAdminController.php` (constructor injection, JSON responses)
  - Ably publisher: `userfrosting/src/BuyerKiosk/Chat/Events/ChatAblyPublisher.php` (publish pattern, error handling)
  - Rate limiting: `userfrosting/src/BuyerKiosk/Core/AblyPublishThrottle.php` (Redis-based, 40 msg/sec)
  - Route groups: `userfrosting/routes/support/api.php` (checkAccessAndReturnStoreObject pattern)
  - Migration JSON: `userfrosting/migrations/input/20260225_004_quote_requests.json` (create_table + check_query)
  - Permission migration: `userfrosting/migrations/input/20260224_039_004_workbook_manage_tasks_permission.json`
  - Admin page template: `userfrosting/templates/themes/default/admin/chat/usage.html` (head/footer includes, meta tags)
  - Chat notifications: `public_html/js/workspace/modules/chat/chat-notifications.js` (toast rendering, event system, sound, browser notifications)
  - Workspace header: `userfrosting/templates/themes/default/workspace/layouts/workspace-head.html` (header-actions div for bell icon)

- **Interfaces to Implement**:
  - Admin API: 5 endpoints (List, Create, Update, Toggle, Ack Dashboard) `[ref: SDD; lines: 452-521]`
  - Staff API: 3 endpoints (Pending, Acknowledge, History) `[ref: SDD; lines: 525-547]`
  - Ably events: 3 event types (created, updated, deactivated) `[ref: SDD; lines: 597-636]`
  - Client modules: NotificationManager, BannerRenderer, ToastRenderer, AlertBellDropdown, AlertAblySync `[ref: SDD; lines: 386-402]`

## Risks & Mitigations

| Risk | Impact | Mitigation | Phase |
|------|--------|------------|-------|
| Ably token auth missing `alerts:*` capability | Clients can't subscribe to alert channels | Update token generation in StaffChatApiController to include alert channel capabilities | T3 |
| Syncfusion RTE init in hidden modal | `Cannot read properties of null` errors | Init RTE on `shown.bs.modal`, destroy on `hidden.bs.modal` | T5 |
| Chat toast migration breaks existing behavior | Users lose chat notifications | Document baseline behaviors pre-migration, comprehensive regression test checklist | T7 |
| Ably rate limit exhaustion (40 msg/sec shared) | Alert publish delays or drops | Low alert volume expected; AblyPublishThrottle handles gracefully; DB is source of truth | T2 |
| MultiSelect init in hidden container | Null reference errors | Init only when modal tab is visible, destroy + recreate on each open | T5 |
| PDO named param reuse in complex queries | `HY093: Invalid parameter number` silent failure | Use unique param names `:typeNum1`, `:typeNum2` and bind both | T2 |
| Rich text content XSS | Stored XSS in alert body | Server-side HTML sanitization (strip script, iframe, event handlers); CTA URL validation | T2, T8 |
| Multi-tab dedup race condition | Duplicate acknowledgment API calls | localStorage event listener + UNIQUE constraint on (alertId, userId) for idempotency | T4 |

- [x] **T1 Phase 1: Database Foundation (Migrations + Permissions)** _(COMPLETED 2026-02-27)_

    *Delivers: 3 new tables in central DB + permission hooks for admin access*

    - [x] T1.1 Prime Context
        - [x] T1.1.1 Read SDD data storage schema for all 3 tables (`systemAlerts`, `systemAlertStoreTargets`, `systemAlertAcknowledgments`) `[ref: SDD; lines: 408-448]`
        - [x] T1.1.2 Read SDD index definitions and constraints `[ref: SDD; lines: 424-448]`
        - [x] T1.1.3 Review existing migration patterns (quote_requests for table creation, support_portal for permissions) `[ref: userfrosting/migrations/input/20260225_004_quote_requests.json]`
        - [x] T1.1.4 Review permission group IDs (1=User, 2=SiteAdmin, 7=Manager, 8=Staff, 9=SuperAdmin) `[ref: userfrosting/migrations/input/20260224_039_004_workbook_manage_tasks_permission.json]`

    - [x] T1.2 Implement Migrations `[activity: data-architecture]`
        - [x] T1.2.1 Create migration file `userfrosting/migrations/input/040_001_system_alerts_tables.json` with 3 table creation operations:
            - `systemAlerts` table with all columns, ENUMs, indexes per SDD `[ref: SDD; lines: 409-426]`
            - `systemAlertStoreTargets` table with FK to systemAlerts, unique constraint `[ref: SDD; lines: 428-436]`
            - `systemAlertAcknowledgments` table with FK, unique constraint on (alertId, userId) `[ref: SDD; lines: 439-448]`
            - Each operation includes `check_query` using `information_schema.tables` pattern
            - All tables use `ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_ci`
        - [x] T1.2.2 ~~Create migration file `userfrosting/migrations/input/040_002_system_alerts_permissions.json`~~ — NOT NEEDED: `uri_bkadmin` already exists in codebase (used by Billing controllers and sidebar menu)

    - [x] T1.3 Validate `[activity: run-tests]`
        - [x] T1.3.1 Run migrations: `php userfrosting/conductor run` and verify all 3 tables created `[activity: run-tests]`
        - [x] T1.3.2 Verify table schemas match SDD column definitions (check column types, nullability, defaults, indexes) `[activity: review-code]`
        - [x] T1.3.3 Verify foreign key constraints work (insert test row, attempt invalid FK) `[activity: run-tests]`
        - [x] T1.3.4 Verify permission hooks exist in `uf_authorize_group` `[activity: review-code]`

    **Phase T1 Review Summary (Codex Review 2026-02-27)**

    _Codex Findings:_
    - **Critical (fixed):** `createdBy`/`updatedBy`/`userId` were signed `int` but `users.id` is `int unsigned` — type mismatch would block future FK additions. Fixed via `040_002_system_alerts_column_fixes.json`.
    - **Important (fixed):** Redundant `idx_alert_user` index alongside `uq_alert_user` on acknowledgments table — unnecessary write overhead. Dropped via same patch migration.
    - **Nice-to-have (skipped):** `check_query` only verifies table existence, not full schema — known migration system limitation.
    - **Nice-to-have (skipped):** No FK from `createdBy`/`userId` to `users.id` — cross-database FKs (`kiosk_buykiosk` → `kiosk_users`) not supported in MySQL. App-level enforcement planned for T2.
    - **Nice-to-have (deferred):** `ctaUrl` app-level validation — already planned for T2 service layer.

    _Changes Made:_
    - Updated `040_001_system_alerts_tables.json` to use `int unsigned` for `createdBy`, `updatedBy`, `userId` (for fresh deployments)
    - Created `040_002_system_alerts_column_fixes.json` with 2 ALTER TABLE operations (for dev env where tables already existed)
    - Removed redundant `idx_alert_user` index from acknowledgments table

    **T2 Phase Review (Codex, 2026-02-27)**

    Findings and resolutions:

    | # | Finding | Severity | Resolution |
    |---|---------|----------|------------|
    | 1 | SQL injection via `sortBy`/`sortDir` in `listForAdmin()` | Critical | Fixed: added `ALLOWED_SORT_COLUMNS` whitelist and sortDir sanitization |
    | 2 | Target-wipe on update when `targetStores` sent without `targetType` | Critical | Fixed: service passes `_existingTargetType` to repo; repo falls back to it |
    | 3 | CTA URL allows `http://` but SDD says HTTPS-only | Important | Fixed: removed `http` from `ALLOWED_URL_SCHEMES`, updated test |
    | 4 | `getAlertHistory()` missing `dismissedAt` and uses `hasUserAcknowledged` | Important | Fixed: added `getDismissedAt()` to AcknowledgmentRepository, updated service |
    | 5 | Cross-DB query in `getTotalTargetedUsers()` via central connection | Important | Fixed: injected `$usersDb` into `SystemAlertRepository` constructor |
    | 6 | HTML sanitization missing `vbscript:` and `file:` in body links | Nice-to-have | Fixed: consolidated regex to block javascript/data/vbscript/file protocols |
    | 7 | Missing `listForAdmin()` test | Important | Deferred to T3 (controller integration tests will exercise this path) |

    Post-review validation: **97 tests, 449 assertions, PHPStan 0 errors**

            - Added `alerts:global` with `['subscribe']` capability for ALL users
            - Queries `kiosk_users.userStoreAssignments` for ALL assigned typeNums
            - Adds `alerts:{typeNum}` with `['subscribe']` for each assigned store
            - Wrapped in try-catch — falls back to global-only on error
        - [x] T3.3.2 ~~Write Tests~~ — Deferred: StaffChatApiController has complex constructor dependencies making unit testing of getAblyToken impractical. Alert capabilities tested via integration in T8.

    **T3 Phase Review (Codex, 2026-02-27)**

    _Codex Findings:_

    | # | Finding | Severity | Resolution |
    |---|---------|----------|------------|
    | 1 | Admin controller missing `jsonResponse`/`jsonError` | Critical | **False positive** — methods exist at lines 238-264; Codex missed them |
    | 2 | `->conditions()` not supported in Slim 2 | High | **Incorrect** — `->conditions()` is standard Slim 2, used throughout codebase (e.g., `support/api.php` lines 29, 44, 89) |
    | 3 | Missing CSRF on POST/PUT endpoints | High (Security) | **Fixed**: Added `checkSystemAlertsCsrf()` helper using `NoCSRF` pattern from `premium.php`. Applied to admin create/update/toggle and staff acknowledge |
    | 4 | Admin API routes missing auth check | Medium | **Fixed**: Added `checkSystemAlertsAdminAccess()` helper with `isset($app->user)` + `uri_bkadmin` check |
    | 5 | `sortBy`/`sortDir` injection risk | Medium | **Already handled** — `SystemAlertRepository` has `ALLOWED_SORT_COLUMNS` whitelist (fixed in T2 review) |
    | 6 | Dependency builder duplication | Low | **Accepted** — `function_exists('buildSystemAlertService')` guard ensures no conflict; minor duplication acceptable for route isolation |

    _Changes Made:_
    - Added `checkSystemAlertsAdminAccess()` auth guard to all admin API routes
    - Added `checkSystemAlertsCsrf()` CSRF validation to all mutating routes (POST/PUT)
    - CSRF token generation uses `\NoCSRF::generate('csrf_token')` on admin page (not raw `$_SESSION`)
    - Staff acknowledge endpoint also CSRF-protected (via `function_exists` guard for loading order)

    Post-review validation: **119 tests, 547 assertions, PHPStan 0 errors**

    **T4 Phase Review (Codex, 2026-02-27)**

    _Codex Findings:_

    | # | Finding | Severity | Resolution |
    |---|---------|----------|------------|
    | 1 | XSS risk: `notification.body` injected via innerHTML without client-side guard; CTA URL allows `javascript:`/`data:` protocols | Critical | **Fixed**: Added `_safeUrl()` URL protocol allowlist to both BannerRenderer and ToastRenderer. Only http/https and relative URLs allowed for CTA links. |
    | 2 | Queue deadlock if renderer unavailable — item pushed to `_visibleItems` before render, permanently occupies slot | Important | **Fixed**: `_render()` now returns `false` on failure; `_processQueue()` only pushes to visible on success, drops on failure |
    | 3 | `acknowledgeFromBell()` only removes first matching notification; diverges from `dismiss()` logic | Important | **Fixed**: Extracted `_acknowledgeAlert()` helper used by both `dismiss()` and `acknowledgeFromBell()`. Removes ALL matching items by alertId. |
    | 4 | Storage event handler only removes first visible item for alertId | Important | **Fixed**: Now removes ALL visible items matching alertId (same pattern as `_acknowledgeAlert()`) |
    | 5 | Chat toast body is clickable but not keyboard accessible (div without role/tabindex) | Important | **Fixed**: Added `role="button"`, `tabindex="0"`, and Enter/Space keydown handler to clickable toast content area |
    | 6 | CTA URL only HTML-escaped, not protocol-validated | Important | **Fixed**: Covered by finding #1 `_safeUrl()` implementation |
    | 7 | `createdAt` lexicographic comparison | Nice-to-have | **Accepted**: ISO 8601 format always used (from server and `new Date().toISOString()`) — lexicographic compare is correct for ISO strings |
    | 8 | Toast stack order with `column-reverse` CSS | Nice-to-have | **Accepted**: `column-reverse` + `appendChild` = newest toast appears at bottom (closest to viewport), which matches the intended UX |
    | 9 | DRY: `acknowledgeFromBell` and `dismiss` share logic | Nice-to-have | **Fixed**: Covered by finding #3 — extracted `_acknowledgeAlert()` |

    _Changes Made:_
    - BannerRenderer.js: Added `_safeUrl()` URL protocol allowlist; CTA only renders with validated URL
    - ToastRenderer.js: Added `_safeUrl()` URL protocol allowlist; CTA only renders with validated URL; added keyboard accessibility to clickable chat toast content
    - NotificationManager.js: `_render()` returns false on failure; `_processQueue()` drops failed renders; extracted `_acknowledgeAlert()` helper; `dismiss()` delegates to `_acknowledgeAlert()`; storage event handler removes ALL matching visible items

    _Post-review validation:_ JS syntax check passes, CSS build passes (334.91 KB), 119 backend tests / 547 assertions passing, PHPStan 0 errors

        - [ ] T6.1.1 Prime: Read SDD Ably client subscription spec `[ref: SDD; lines: 613-636]`
        - [ ] T6.1.2 Prime: Read existing WorkbookAblySync for Ably client pattern `[ref: public_html/js/workspace/modules/workbook/ably-sync.js]`
        - [ ] T6.1.3 Prime: Read SDD dedup spec (dedupKey = alertId + eventName, NOT Ably message.id) `[ref: SDD; lines: 770-779]`
        - [ ] T6.1.4 Implement: Create `public_html/js/workspace/modules/notifications/AlertAblySync.js` `[activity: frontend-implementation]`
            - IIFE module pattern
            - `init(ablyClient, userStoreAssignments)`:
              - Subscribe to `alerts:global` channel (all users)
              - Subscribe to `alerts:{typeNum}` for each assigned store
            - Event handlers:
              - `alert:created` → dedup → `NotificationManager.enqueue()` `[ref: SDD; lines: 742-755]`
              - `alert:updated` → dedup → `NotificationManager.remove()` then `enqueue()` with updated data `[ref: SDD; lines: 757-760]`
              - `alert:deactivated` → `NotificationManager.remove()` `[ref: SDD; lines: 762-764]`
            - Dedup on `alertId + ':' + eventName` (NOT Ably message.id) `[ref: SDD; lines: 770-779]`
            - Reconnect handler: on Ably reconnect, fetch `/api/system-alerts/pending` to backfill `[ref: SDD; lines: 1001]`
            - `destroy()`: unsubscribe from all channels
        - [ ] T6.1.5 Implement: Wire AlertAblySync into workspace initialization `[activity: frontend-implementation]`
            - Must init AFTER WorkbookAblySync establishes Ably connection `[ref: SDD; line: 1228]`
            - Pass existing Ably client and user store assignments (from page meta or global)
            - Fetch initial pending alerts from API on page load `[ref: SDD; lines: 964-993]`

            - IIFE module pattern
            - `init(bellElement)` — attach click handler, init badge count
            - Badge count: tracks unacknowledged system alert count (NOT chat) `[ref: PRD Feature 7; line: 140]`
            - Badge updates in realtime: increment on `alert:created`, decrement on dismiss `[ref: PRD Feature 7; line: 146]`
            - On dropdown open: fetch fresh from `GET /api/system-alerts/history` `[ref: SDD; line: 1139]`
            - Dropdown sections `[ref: PRD Feature 7; line: 141]`:
              - **Pending** (top): unacknowledged alerts, sorted severity then date
              - **Recently Dismissed** (bottom): last N acknowledged alerts, dimmed
            - Click pending alert → expand inline showing full body + CTA `[ref: PRD Feature 7; line: 143]`
            - "Dismiss" button in expanded view → acknowledges alert `[ref: PRD Feature 7; line: 143]`
            - CTA click → opens link AND acknowledges `[ref: PRD Feature 7; line: 144]`
            - Sync with visible banners/toasts: dismissing from bell also removes visible notification `[ref: PRD Scenario 11; line: 230]`

        - [ ] T6.2.5 Implement: Add bell icon to admin layout header `[activity: frontend-implementation]`
            - Inspect `userfrosting/templates/themes/default/admin/admin-layout.html` for header/navbar structure
            - If admin layout uses a separate header from workspace, add the same bell icon markup (`.system-alert-bell` with badge span and dropdown container)
            - If admin layout shares the workspace header partial, ensure bell is not duplicated
            - Bell must appear on ALL pages where alerts can be displayed (admin pages + workspace/workbook)
            - Add banner container (`#system-alert-banners`) to admin layout as well (same as T6.3.2)

    - [ ] T6.3 Implement: Banner container in layout `[component: frontend-layout]` `[activity: frontend-implementation]`
        - [ ] T6.3.1 Modify `workspace-head.html` to add banner container div above page header `[ref: SDD; line: 1232]`
            - `<div id="system-alert-banners"></div>` positioned above `.workspace-header`
            - Must push content down, not overlay `[ref: PRD Feature 3; line: 105]`
        - [ ] T6.3.2 Add banner container to admin layout as well `[activity: frontend-implementation]`

        - [ ] T6.5.2 Badge: `aria-label="{count} unread notifications"` (screen-reader friendly count)
        - [ ] T6.5.3 Dropdown: `role="menu"`, `aria-labelledby="bell-button"`, focus trap when open
        - [ ] T6.5.4 Keyboard: `Enter`/`Space` opens dropdown, `Escape` closes it, `Arrow` keys navigate items
        - [ ] T6.5.5 Alert items in dropdown: `role="menuitem"`, inline expand via `Enter`/`Space`

    - [ ] T6.6 Implement: Add notification bell CSS `[component: frontend-styles]` `[activity: frontend-implementation]`
        - [ ] T6.6.1 Add to `public_html/css/workspace/notifications.css`:

            - Inbound message filtering (don't notify for outbound)
            - Panel-open suppression (don't toast if viewing same thread)
            - Toast click → open thread
            - Sound chime on new message
            - Browser notification when tab hidden
            - Consolidation: 3+ messages in buffer window → consolidated toast
            - Orphan handling (phone number display when no customer name)

            - Enqueue with `type: 'chat'`, `severity: 'chat'`, `displayType: 'toast'`
            - Pass `onClick` callback that opens thread (preserves click-to-thread)
            - Pass NO `alertId` (ensures no DB acknowledgment tracking for chat) `[ref: PRD Feature 8; line: 152]`
            - Keep sound chime call in ChatNotifications (not delegated) `[ref: SDD; line: 812]`
            - Keep browser notification call in ChatNotifications `[ref: SDD; line: 813]`
            - Keep badge update call in ChatNotifications `[ref: SDD; line: 814]`
            - Keep consolidation logic in ChatNotifications (enqueue consolidated toast, not individual)
            - Chat toasts participate in max-3 queue with system alerts `[ref: PRD Feature 8; line: 153]`
