Implementation Plan

Status: SPEC · Gate A freeze 2026-08-31 · hybrid rewrite complete 2026-09-01 · SlabUploader

Phases 0–6 below are hybrid-aligned. Phase 2 remains a deferred stub only; offline PWA, OCR, ruler, and server happy-path measure/crop as SoT are not implemented.

The build plan a professional (or a fresh Hermes session) executes against. Each phase has: goal, deliverables, acceptance criteria (testable), and exit gate. Ordering is by dependency. Definition of done for every phase: code + tests + real execution output in the PR/commit message + docs updated.

Ground rules (from AGENTS.md):

• Deterministic core is unit-tested before any UI consumes it.
• No feature without a passing test and shown output.
• Inference stays toggleable; the full suite must pass with it disabled.
• One phase = a reviewable, shippable increment.

Test specification: docs/TEST-SPEC.md — pyramid cases, phased by gate, affirmative only.

Gates (human map)

This file owns the Gate A/B/C meanings table and phase deliverables. Other docs may name a gate or map test cases to a phase (see docs/TEST-SPEC.md Gates and phase map). They must not copy this meanings table.

Label	Human name	What it means
Gate A	Docs freeze	Product locks written into the repo
Gate B	Run-host setup	Inventory the real host, deploy skeleton
Gate C	First draft listing	One Woo draft listing with inference OFF

Phase 0 = Gates A+B. Gate C = early Phase 1 claimable publish slice. Call 1/2 after Gate C is green, still inside POC. Phase 2 is a deferred stub; do not build it next after Phase 1.

---

Phase 0 — Hybrid skeleton and client deterministic core (= Gates A+B)

Goal: scaffold the hybrid app and ship a tested client-authoritative TECH-SPEC pipeline (mask → axis → sqft/bdft → 3:4 PNG) plus a minimal FastAPI store/settings shell. No Woo publish, no inference, no offline/OCR/ruler.

Gate A (docs): AGENTS.md + this Phase 0 rewrite + review package locks (signed 2026-08-31). Gate B (infra/code): items below.

Scope — in:

• Repo layout: frontend/ (SvelteKit), backend/ (FastAPI), deploy/ stubs; docs stay SoT.
• Client pure modules implementing TECH-SPEC: constants, sheet/chroma/black + sliders, mask confirm hooks, length axis, scale, 6" widths, sqft, bdft = sqft × thickness_in, pricing rec from species $/bdft, 3:4 PNG / 80% fill / ≥1600 guard (no upscale).
• FastAPI: app factory, logging, config, GET /api/health, SQLite + alembic skeleton, settings stub with AES-GCM round-trip (secrets never returned on GET), draft store stub (accept client numbers + files — store only, no server-side recompute of SoT).
• deploy/docker-compose.yml, Caddyfile.fragment, .env.example (placeholders only).
• Unit tests for TECH-SPEC TV-1 through TV-10 (esp. TV-3 bdft, TV-6/7 crop/no-upscale, TV-8 pricing, TV-10 rounding).
• Fixture photo set for Ty Gate B review.

Phase 0 covers:

• Server happy-path pipeline / CLI that recomputes mask/crop/bdft as SoT: client is authoritative; server stores client-sent numbers only.
• Real U2Net: stub OK; on-demand later. The one-photo server path stays in architecture.
• Woo create/publish and live taxonomy sync: Phase 1. Species offered in UI, pricing seeds, and Call 1 are exactly Woo-synced species-category leaves (CONTENT-WOO §2.2 / AGENTS §6 / DATA-MODEL woo_categories).
• Inference Call 1/2, LoRA: Phase 5.
• Offline PWA, IndexedDB sync, OCR, ruler: Phase 2 (deferred stub).
• Fake upscale / inventing pixels: undersized source warns and requires retake.

Deliverables:

• frontend/ scaffold + deterministic modules + unit tests TV-1…TV-10.
• backend/ FastAPI health + settings encryption + draft persistence stub + schema migration baseline.
• deploy/ compose + .env.example + Caddy fragment.
• Shown output in PR/commit: printed TV-3, TV-6, TV-7 (no-upscale/retake), and TV-10 on real fixtures.

Acceptance:

• Gate B: client (or shared pure) tests green for TECH-SPEC vectors; bdft identity holds (no /12); undersized source warns and refuses fake upscale; rounding matches TV-10.
• GET https://${APP_HOSTNAME}/api/health up in compose after deploy/INVENTORY.md is filled and Caddy is merged.
• Settings AES round-trip; secret fields never appear in GET.
• Draft can store client-uploaded originals + PNGs + numbers without server recompute.
• Coverage target: deterministic modules ≥ 95% where practical; property checks (bdft monotonic in thickness/sqft; fill band; no upscale path).

Exit gate: Ty confirms Gate B math/image prep shown output on real fixtures; health + encrypted settings + draft store stub demonstrated (curl or thin UI).

Next: Gate C = early Phase 1 claimable publish — online hybrid capture + Woo draft

• SLAB-UAT-* on the configured store, inference OFF. Call 1/2 after Gate C, still inside POC.

---

Phase 1 — Gate C claimable path, then full API surface (rewritten)

Early Phase 1 / Gate C slice (claimable first draft listing)

Goal: one Woo draft listing Ty can open in store admin, with inference OFF. Online hybrid capture only. No OCR, ruler, or offline.

Deliverables:

• Online capture of 1–5 inventory photos (no airplane-mode requirement).
• Client sheet + four knobs inline on capture (live re-run, mask overlay on source photo); user confirm; length axis overlay + confirm. No U2Net control.
• Client sqft / bdft / 6" widths; 3:4 transparent PNG prep per TECH-SPEC.
• Manual SKU, length, thickness; manual taxonomy as needed for one listing.
• Calibrated draft upload: originals + processed PNGs + client-sent numbers. Server stores only (OPENAPI POST returns status: calibrated).
• Woo draft create with SKU prefix SLAB-UAT-* on the configured PROD store. Honor AGENTS Woo safety: SLAB-UAT-* forces draft even if Settings say publish.
• Inference remains OFF for this slice. Full suite still green with inference disabled.

Acceptance:

• Ty captures a real slab on phone (online), adjusts any mask knob and sees a fresh overlay without leaving the screen, confirms mask + axis, sees client numbers.
• Species picker offers only Woo-synced species (after test-woo / sync).
• One SLAB-UAT-* product appears in Woo admin as draft with correct SKU/price/images enough for Ty to open and inspect.
• No Call 1/Call 2 required. No offline, OCR, ruler, or U2Net path exercised.
• Duplicate SKU → stop with field-level recovery; no second product.

Exit gate: Ty opens one draft listing in Woo admin. Gate C is green.

Phase 1 remainder (API / settings / taxonomy cache)

Goal: full slab CRUD + photo upload + settings + taxonomy cache read, still hybrid. No server happy-path math. No processing slab status.

Deliverables:

• Routers per OPENAPI: slabs (CRUD + upload + poll), photos (serve), pricing-rules, settings (AES-GCM + test stubs), taxonomy (cache read/write + manufactured taxonomy_anchor / taxonomy_last_sync_at).
• Optimistic concurrency (client_rev / server_rev, 409 paths).
• Status machine only: draft → calibrated → ready → publishing → published | failed. Job queue only for publish and inference (later). U2Net-on-demand is deferred from POC. Never for measure/crop.
• Integration tests (httpx TestClient): create calibrated → poll → ready (manual fields); revision conflict; duplicate SKU; settings encryption round-trip (secret never returned); taxonomy anchor bumps on stored-subset change and stays put on no-op sync.

Acceptance:

• OPENAPI.md endpoints implemented; a generated openapi.yaml matches the doc.
• Integration tests green; secrets never leak into any GET response (asserted).
• docker compose up (backend + a throwaway frontend stub) serves the API.
• PUT stores client-sent derived fields; does not recompute sqft/bdft/widths as SoT.
• Taxonomy: anchor advances only on real stored-subset change; client re-pulls only when anchor is newer; test-woo always resyncs; publish respects the 1h threshold.

Exit gate: Ty drives the API with curl through a full calibrated → ready cycle (manual).

---

Phase 2 — Deferred: offline PWA / OCR / ruler (stub only)

Deferred post-POC. The online-only MVP does not implement offline capture.

Capture UX for POC lives in early Phase 1 / Gate C (online hybrid). See AGENTS.md §2.

Offline PWA, OCR, and ruler detection are deferred to a later product decision:

• Workbox service worker, IndexedDB draft sync, airplane-mode capture
• Tesseract.js OCR for SKU
• OpenCV.js ruler / scale detection

No airplane-mode acceptance. No OCR or ruler exit gate in POC.

---

Phase 3 — Frontend: enrich, review, publish UI (rewritten)

Goal: online review + publish UI on top of Gate C calibrated drafts. Hybrid only. Client already owns mask/numbers/PNGs. This phase does not re-measure on the server.

Deliverables:

• Review screen after calibrated upload: all fields editable (length, thickness, SKU, widths/sqft/bdft shown as client-computed with manual override paths, species and wood categories, five attributes, fig-/feat- tags, price with species $/bdft recommendation, title/short/description).
• Show client-processed transparent PNGs (and originals while retained). No server re-crop UI as SoT.
• Inference UI (only meaningful after Gate C and when inference_enabled): Call 1 results with confidence. ≥ 0.7 (configurable default) → pre-fill mutable fields. < 0.7 → leave empty; inline nudges. Continue/ready is blocked until the full ready set is filled — not species + wood category + figure alone. Canonical lock (AGENTS §7 / DATA-MODEL slabs ready): SKU, length, thickness, client sqft/bdft/widths, ≥1 inventory PNG, exactly one species, ≥1 wood category, 1 edge type, ≥1 figure term, ≥1 fig-* tag, ≥1 grade, thickness store band (round-up), 1 moisture (default kiln-dried; not inferred), price. feat-* 0+. Title/description may be typed, generated, or templated at publish. Presentation: docs/UX.md. "Generate text" triggers Call 2; never auto.
• Capture: four knobs on the mask screen with live re-run. No U2Net control in POC.
• Publish button (online-only), poll publishing → published | failed, surface error detail from sync_log.
• Settings UI: WP username + application password + test-woo, inference endpoint + test (vision + portable-context probe), pricing rules editor, brand voice/GEO, woo_create_status. Store URL read-only from WOO_BASE_URL. Sheet/slider prefs stay in client localStorage. Prompts are server files, not UI settings.
• Secrets never appear in GET settings responses (masked *_configured only).

Acceptance:

• Browser round-trip: online capture → mask/axis confirm → calibrated upload → review → edit → publish → local published (Woo mock in tests; real store Phase 6).
• Inference OFF → full manual taxonomy + content path works; no inference network calls.
• Field overrides persist across poll/refresh (asserted).
• No offline/IndexedDB requirement. No OCR/ruler UI.

Exit gate: Ty publishes a test slab to the real store as a Woo draft (SLAB-UAT-*). (Gate A lock: not pending/published for UAT.)

---

Phase 4 — WooCommerce integration (rewritten)

Goal: production Woo sync, taxonomy, dedupe, logging. Browser never calls Woo. Media bytes are client-processed PNGs. Safety policy from AGENTS §5.

Deliverables:

• Woo client (httpx, Basic auth with WP username + application password, timeouts), taxonomy sync into cache tables, auto-assign per CONTENT-WOO §2.3 (categories + five attributes + fig-/feat- tags only). No WooCommerce consumer keys.
• Media upload of processed PNG inventory photos; product create via woo_create_status (default draft). If SKU matches SLAB-UAT-*, force Woo draft even when Settings say publish.
• Dedupe by SKU before create (any Woo status); 409 duplicate_sku with field recovery paths (edit SKU / open existing); no edit-same-SKU path in MVP.
• 422 stale_field recovery with current options from cache (CONTENT-WOO §2.6).
• sync_log with payload_hash; on success set local published, purge originals + processed images on server.
• POST /api/v1/admin/taxonomy/sync against the real store; manufactured anchor.
• Integration tests against a Woo mock (respx) for success + error + duplicate + stale-field paths.
• Partial-failure handling (orphaned media noted, per CONTENT-WOO §2.6).

Acceptance:

• Real UAT publish: product appears in store admin as draft under SLAB-UAT-*, correct SKU/price/PNG images/category/tags/attributes; woo_product_id stored; sync_log written with payload_hash.
• Duplicate SKU publish → 409 mapped to SKU field, no second product created.
• Stale taxonomy value → 422 on that field with current options; draft retained.
• Woo error (bad creds / 500) → slab failed with detail; retry path works.
• All Woo integration tests green (mock + one live smoke).

Exit gate: Ty verifies a real Woo draft SLAB-UAT-* product in the store is correct.

---

Phase 5 — Inference (vision + optional content) (rewritten)

Goal: scoped, toggleable inference after Gate C is green, still inside POC. Does not gate publish. Full suite must pass with inference OFF.

Deliverables:

• Call 1 (vision) proxy: all inventory photos downscaled to 1024 + Woo taxonomy snapshot + user metadata; OpenAI-compatible endpoint; model constrained to cached taxonomy from the Woo cache only; confidence threshold 0.7 (configurable default; not a POC Settings slider). Auto-run on calibrated create only if inference_enabled. Not top-down-only.
• Apply AGENTS §6 prefill: ≥ threshold → pre-fill mutable species/categories/attributes/ tags; < threshold → those fields stay empty. Call 1 is assist only and does not define ready. Ready/publish requires the full ready set in AGENTS §7 / DATA-MODEL (SKU, length, thickness, client sqft/bdft/widths, ≥1 inventory PNG, exactly one species, ≥1 wood category, 1 edge type, ≥1 figure term, ≥1 fig-* tag, ≥1 grade, thickness store band round-up, 1 moisture default kiln-dried not inferred, price; feat-* 0+). Species + wood category + figure is not the gate. Presentation: docs/UX.md.
• Call 2 (text) proxy: never auto. Portable Call 1 context (full resend default). LLM prose only; templates inject deterministic numbers. See docs/PROMPTS.md.
• test-inference endpoint (vision + portable vs stateful probe). Fail closed if neither Call 1→Call 2 path works.
• Feature flags; inference_log audit rows; prompt files read fresh each call.
• No numeric/dimension invention by the LLM. LoRA deferred.

Acceptance:

• Local vision model configured: ≥ 0.7 fields pre-fill and remain editable; user override sticks.
• Below 0.7: fields stay empty; UI blocks continue/ready until the full AGENTS §7 / DATA-MODEL ready set is filled (asserted). Species + wood category + figure is not the ready definition.
• No doc/code path auto-fills below-threshold guesses or treats inference as a publish gate.
• Inference OFF: app works end-to-end; tests assert zero calls to the inference endpoint.
• Audit payloads present after a call; prompt file edits apply without server restart.
• Gate C path remains green with inference OFF.

Exit gate: Ty runs species detection on 3 real slabs; results acceptable or manually corrected (that is the design).

---

Phase 6 — Deployment, UAT, hardening (rewritten, online only)

Goal: production deploy on the inventoried host + online user acceptance tests.

Deliverables:

• Host inventory pass: complete deploy/INVENTORY.md per DEPLOYMENT §1 → final compose + Caddyfile.
• Deploy to https://${APP_HOSTNAME} from inventory; backup/restore runbook executed once (restore tested).
• UAT suite for the hybrid online path: scripted real slabs (≥3 species, ≥1 cathedral, ≥1 manual-width path, ≥1 duplicate-SKU attempt) with expected bdft/price/image-fill asserted. No offline capture, OCR, or ruler cases in POC UAT.
• Performance: client measure/crop budgets on device; optional U2Net-on-demand latency. No server happy-path “normalization 3–5s” budget. No OCR 1–2s budget.
• Docs: README, runbook, key-rotation verified.

Acceptance (measured):

• E2E capture→publish on iPhone, Android, and PC browsers (desktop Chrome/Edge/Firefox) works (online).
• Manual length override recalculates widths/sqft/bdft correctly (UAT asserts).
• Client crop: slab ~80% frame in ≥95% of UAT photos; shorter side ≥1600 when source allows.
• Woo product created with processed PNG images + correct taxonomy.
• Deterministic functions unit-tested; inference calls logged for audit when used.
• Backup restore demonstrated once.

Exit gate: Ty signs off on UAT results; v1 declared done.

Risks and mitigations

Risk	Impact	Mitigation
Green-sheet color varies	bad mask, wrong sqft	chroma-key / black threshold + inline knobs + live re-run; retake; U2Net deferred from POC; never drop output_px_min below 1600
No vision model available at deploy	species inference off	inference is toggleable; manual species/character fully functional — v1 not blocked
Woo partial publish (media up, product POST fails)	orphaned images, confusing state	sync_log + retained images for retry; manual cleanup note; no auto-delete
Local vision endpoint not up	inference off	configurable endpoint; deploy-time config; app works without it
SQLite contention under concurrent polls	slowdown	single owner, low volume; Postgres path documented
Host port/Caddy collision with co-resident apps (e.g. bolt.diy)	deploy conflict	Phase 0/6 inventory worksheet before any port bind

Ruler detection is deferred with offline/OCR (Phase 2 stub). Manual length is authoritative for POC. Ruler confidence is not a POC risk row.

---

Definition of Done (v1, project-level)

• All 6 phases exit-gated by Ty (Phase 2 remains deferred stub unless product reopens it).
• Hybrid online acceptance met (measured in Phase 6 UAT). Gates A/B/C meanings match AGENTS §0b.
• pytest + integration + UAT green; inference-off path green.
• Deployed on the inventoried host (APP_HOSTNAME from deploy/INVENTORY.md), HTTPS, backed up, restore tested, runbook + key-rotation verified.
• Repo on gitea-atd (Ty_Tech/SlabUploader) is source of truth; docs current.
• docs/archive/PRD-2026-08.txt is frozen history only; live docs are the implementation SoT.
