# Milestone 3 Create

## Purpose

Milestone 3 takes a Photos-ready device draft and makes the slab **submission-ready for WooCommerce**.

Submission-ready means the mill owner has filled the full store listing package against **live synced Woo attributes**, with price set, and can create the product in the store (practice SKUs as Woo drafts). Photos and measures from Milestones 1 and 2 are inputs. They are not enough by themselves.

**Exit criteria.** On the M3 UAT deploy, a Photos-ready slab reaches submission-ready and a `SLAB-UAT-*` product exists in WooCommerce as a **draft** whose categories, attributes, tags, price, and inventory images match the reviewed ready set. Create still works with inference off.

## How to read this file

This file is the Milestone 3 source of truth on branch `m3-ds`.

- **What is in M3** comes from Ty conversations on this branch (not from older milestone splits on `main`).
- **How Woo sync, metadata, pricing, and inference behave** is taken from the technical requirements on `main` (`CONTENT-WOO`, `DATA-MODEL`, `UX`, `ARCHITECTURE`, `OPENAPI`, `AGENTS`, `UAT-PRACTICE`, `DEPLOYMENT`) and written here so coding does not need to open `main`.

Related shipped specs: `docs/CAPTURE.md`, `docs/PHOTOS.md`. Product overview: `docs/PRODUCT.md`. Folder map: `docs/README.md`.

## Preconditions (already shipped)

On this branch before M3 work:

- Milestone 1 Capture works in the browser (`docs/CAPTURE.md`).
- Milestone 2 Photos works in the browser (`docs/PHOTOS.md`). UAT evidence on `:10881`.
- Device draft holds Photos-ready inventory PNGs, calibration measures, and related state.
- `frontend/` holds that client path. `backend/` does not yet implement the Woo client or inference proxy.

M3 adds the server path, Settings, taxonomy sync, review/ready fields, pricing, inference dependency, and Woo create.

## In scope

1. WooCommerce auth with WordPress application password (server-side).
2. Sync of **Woo attributes** from the store and correct use of those lists for the listing.
3. Review UI and rules to reach submission-ready (full ready set).
4. Pricing proposal from species `$/bdft` rules and user override.
5. OpenAI-compatible inference endpoint as a Settings dependency, with Call 1 / Call 2 behavior when enabled.
6. Create product in WooCommerce (force draft for `SLAB-UAT-*`), then clear the device draft on success.

## Out of scope unless Ty expands M3 in chat

- Creating new Woo categories, attributes, terms, or tags from the app.
- Updating an existing store SKU in place.
- Bulk create.
- Touching deploy port `:10880`.
- Dumping work onto `m2-ds` or doc-simplification branches.

## Woo attributes

Locked name for the synced taxonomy package. WooCommerce is the source of truth. The app caches ids. It does not invent the lists.

### Categories (product categories, leaf only)

| Field | Cardinality | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Species | exactly 1 | Synced species leaves only. No hardcoded or fallback species set. A new store species appears only after the next successful sync. |
| Wood category | 1 or more | Leaf ids. Parents are grouping only. |

### Attributes (exactly five locked Woo attributes)

| Attribute | Cardinality | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Edge Type | 1 | Term id from sync. |
| Figure | 1 or more | Term ids from sync. |
| Grade | 1 or more | Term ids from sync. |
| Thickness | 1 | Measured thickness rounded **up** into the store band (example: 1" lands in the store band labeled like `1"-1 1/2"` when that is the store label). |
| Moisture | 1 | Defaults to kiln-dried. User sets or keeps it. Never inferred. |

v1 does not create missing attributes or terms. If a term is missing in Woo, skip it. Do not invent it.

Species, character, length, and free-text thickness are **not** Woo product attributes. Only the five locked attributes go on the create payload.

### Tags

| Prefix | Cardinality | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| `fig-*` | 1 or more | Required. Other Woo tags are ignored at sync. |
| `feat-*` | 0 or more | Optional. Character, inclusions, voids, and checks map onto existing `feat-*` tags only. |

---

## Auth and store URL

From `main` deploy and agents rules, adopted here:

- FastAPI is the only Woo caller. The browser never holds store credentials.
- Auth is a WordPress **application password** for a dedicated low-privilege WP user (shop manager or custom role with product create/edit and media upload). Not WooCommerce consumer keys (`ck_` / `cs_`). Not the store admin login password.
- Basic auth shape: `woo_wp_username` + `woo_app_password`.
- Store URL is **`WOO_BASE_URL`** from `deploy/.env` / Docker Compose (`https://` only). Injected into the FastAPI container. Settings shows it read-only. Not a SQLite settings row. Change store means edit `.env` and recreate the FastAPI container.
- Username and application password are entered in Settings UI, stored AES-GCM encrypted in SQLite (`SLAB_AES_KEY` env).
- REST surface: `{WOO_BASE_URL}/wp-json/wc/v3/…`
- Client: `httpx` with connect timeout 10s and read timeout 60s for image-heavy create.
- Rotate: revoke the application password in WP Users → Profile, enter a new one in Settings, then run `test-woo`.

---

## Taxonomy sync

Endpoint and behavior from `main` OPENAPI / CONTENT-WOO / ARCHITECTURE:

`POST /api/v1/admin/taxonomy/sync` pulls, in order:

1. `GET /products/categories?per_page=100` (paginate) → species and wood-category leaves after app filter.
2. `GET /products/tags?per_page=100` → keep only `fig-*` and `feat-*`.
3. `GET /products/attributes` plus terms → the five locked attributes.

Rebuild cache tables in one transaction. On failure return `502 woo_error` and **keep** the previous cache. Never delete-then-fail.

**Stamps.** Woo REST has no usable last-modified for categories, attributes, or tags. FastAPI stores:

- `taxonomy_last_sync_at` on every successful pull
- `taxonomy_anchor` bumped only when the stored-subset hash changes (including deletions)

Client re-pulls the full taxonomy only when the anchor advances.

**Triggers.**

1. Successful `POST /api/v1/settings/test-woo` always resyncs.
2. On publish, if `now - taxonomy_last_sync_at > 1 hour`, reconcile (bump anchor only on real change).
3. Optional app launch or Settings refresh.

If a picked id disappeared after refresh, show that field as no longer valid. Do not silently swap another value.

`GET /api/v1/admin/taxonomy` returns the cached groups plus `taxonomy_anchor` and `taxonomy_last_sync_at`.

---

## Submission-ready (ready set)

A slab is submission-ready only when **all** of the following are present. Species plus one figure is not enough.

Required:

- At least one inventory PNG (from Milestone 2)
- SKU matching `[A-Z0-9-]{3,24}` (practice runs use `SLAB-UAT-*`)
- Length and thickness (from capture, still editable on review)
- Client-computed widths, sqft, and bdft (user typed number wins if overridden)
- Exactly one species leaf
- At least one wood-category leaf
- One edge type term
- At least one figure term
- At least one grade term
- Thickness band term (round-up from measured thickness)
- One moisture term (default kiln-dried)
- At least one `fig-*` tag
- Price (see Pricing)

Optional:

- `feat-*` tags (zero or more)
- Title, short title, description (may be typed, filled by templates at create, or written by Generate text when inference is on). Not required to reach ready.

Inline per-field nudges show empty required fields as the owner works. The slab cannot reach ready until the full set is filled.

Server status name for this state: `ready` (see data model below). Publish/create is blocked with `422 unpublishable` until then.

---

## Pricing

From `main` DATA-MODEL / UX / AGENTS:

- Settings (or admin API) holds `pricing_rules`: one flat `$/bdft` per species name that matches a synced species leaf. No tiers in v1.
- Seed rule rows from synced species. The mill owner sets the rate per species.
- Proposal: `price = bdft × price_per_bdft` for the selected species.
- User may replace the proposal. Override sticks (`price_source` = `override` vs `recommendation`).
- If no rule exists for the species, price starts empty and the owner types it.
- Publish/create is allowed with a manual price.
- `bdft = sqft × thickness_in` (deterministic).

Admin API surface from `main` OPENAPI:

- `GET /api/v1/admin/pricing`
- `POST /api/v1/admin/pricing`
- `PUT /api/v1/admin/pricing/{id}`
- `DELETE /api/v1/admin/pricing/{id}`

---

## Inference

M3 includes the OpenAI-compatible endpoint as a real server dependency and the Call 1 / Call 2 rules below. Create must pass with inference **off**.

### Settings (not compose)

Stored encrypted in SQLite Settings (not `deploy/.env`):

- `inference_base_url`
- `inference_api_key`
- `inference_model`
- `inference_enabled`
- `content_llm_enabled`

FastAPI proxies all inference calls. The browser never holds the key.

`POST /api/v1/settings/test-inference` returns `{ ok, mode: stateful|stateless|fail, vision_capable, detail }`. Mode `fail` blocks Call 2 enablement only. Inference-off create still works.

### Call 1 (vision / taxonomy assist)

- Runs only when `inference_enabled` is true (auto after calibrated draft upload when on, or via `POST /api/v1/slabs/{id}/infer-taxon`).
- Input: inventory photos downscaled to max 1024px, user metadata, synced Woo taxonomy lists.
- Output: species, wood categories, edge, figure, grade, and feature-tag suggestions constrained to synced lists, each with confidence.
- Default confidence threshold 0.7 (configurable). At or above threshold: pre-fill on review, still editable. Below: leave empty. Do not show low-confidence guesses as defaults.
- Moisture is never inferred.
- Typed values always win over model values.
- Vision never blocks create and never auto-publishes.

### Call 2 (Generate text)

- User-triggered only (`POST /api/v1/slabs/{id}/infer-content`). Never auto.
- Requires successful `test-inference` (`ok: true`).
- Model writes prose only (character, color, grain, uses). It must not invent dimensions.
- Server assembles title, short title, and description from templates with prose injected.
- If the endpoint is down, disable the button. Templates still work. Create is never blocked by Generate text failure.

### Templates (always available)

Defaults from `main` CONTENT-WOO:

**title**

```
{species} {length_ft}ft {length_in_remainder}in × {width_avg_in}in Wood Slab - {character}
```

**short_title**

```
{species} Slab - {character}
```

**description** (multi-paragraph)

```
A one-of-a-one {character} {species} slab, {length_ft}ft {length_in_remainder}in long with an
average width of {width_avg_in}in and {thickness_in}in thickness ({bdft} bdft).

Each slab is naturally shaped. Width varies along the length at {width_min_in}in to
{width_max_in}in. Sold by the slab; dimensions as measured. {geo_sentence}
```

All template math fields come from the deterministic pipeline, never from the LLM.

## Review and create flow

Mill-owner path after Photos-ready:

1. Upload calibrated / Photos-ready draft to the server (`POST /api/v1/slabs` multipart) when the M3 client reaches that step. Status becomes `calibrated`. If inference is on, Call 1 may run.
2. **Review.** Owner fills or overrides every ready-set field. Pickers show only synced Woo attributes.
3. When the ready set is complete, status becomes `ready` (submission-ready).
4. Owner taps create/publish → `POST /api/v1/slabs/{id}/publish`.
5. Server runs the create sequence below. Client polls `GET /api/v1/slabs/{id}`.

### Create sequence (server)

1. Check the listing against the ready-set rules.
2. Look up SKU in the store (`GET /products?sku={sku}`, any status). Stop if found.
3. Refresh taxonomy if last successful pull is older than 1 hour.
4. Resolve categories, tags, and attributes from the synced lists.
5. Upload each inventory PNG (`kind=inventory` only) via `POST /media`, keep alpha. Reference `source_url` values on the product. Cap at 5 inventory photos. Calibration-only artifacts are not store images.
6. `POST /products` with status from Settings `woo_create_status` (`draft` or `publish`, default `draft`). **`SLAB-UAT-*` always forces draft.**
7. On success: log, set `woo_product_id`, mark published locally, delete original and processed photos, clear device draft.
8. On failure: log, mark failed, keep photos, put a field-level error on the phone. No raw status codes for the mill owner.

### Create payload (shape)

`POST /products` sends only non-null fields. Conceptual body:

```jsonc
{
  "name": "{title}",
  "type": "simple",
  "status": "{woo_create_status}",
  "sku": "{sku}",
  "regular_price": "{price}",
  "description": "{description}",
  "short_description": "{short_title}",
  "categories": [ { "id": <species and wood-category ids> } ],
  "tags": [ { "id": <fig-* and feat-* ids> } ],
  "images": [ { "src": "<media source_url>", "alt": "{species} {character} slab" } ],
  "attributes": [ /* Edge, Figure, Grade, Thickness, Moisture term ids when present */ ],
  "virtual": false,
  "downloadable": false,
  "catalog_visibility": "visible"
}
```

App "published" means the store create succeeded. That is not the same as the Woo product being live when status is draft.

### Duplicate SKU

Before create, if the SKU exists in any store status: block. Show Edit SKU and Open existing listing. This version does not update the other product. API: `409 duplicate_sku`.

### Stale taxonomy on submit

If a category, attribute, or price is no longer valid after refresh: under that field, tell the owner to pick from the current list and supply current options (`stale_field`).

|---|---|---|
| `WOO_BASE_URL` | compose / `.env` | HTTPS store URL. Read-only in UI. |
| `SLAB_AES_KEY` | compose / `.env` | AES master key. Never in DB or repo. |
| `woo_wp_username` | Settings (encrypted) | Dedicated WP user. |
| `woo_app_password` | Settings (encrypted) | Application password. |
| `woo_create_status` | Settings | `draft` or `publish`. Default `draft`. |
| `inference_base_url` | Settings (encrypted) | OpenAI-compatible base URL. |
| `inference_api_key` | Settings (encrypted) | |
| `inference_model` | Settings | |
| `inference_enabled` | Settings | |
| `content_llm_enabled` | Settings | Gates Generate text. |
| `taxonomy_last_sync_at` | Settings / derived | |
| `taxonomy_anchor` | Settings / derived | |
| `brand_voice`, `geo_context` | Settings | Copy helpers. |

Relevant Settings API: `GET/PUT /api/v1/settings`, `POST /api/v1/settings/test-woo`, `POST /api/v1/settings/test-inference`.

## Data shape (submission-ready fields)

Core slab fields M3 must persist (from `main` DATA-MODEL, adopted here):

| Field | Rule |
|---|---|
| `sku` | Required. Unique. |
| `status` | `draft` → `calibrated` → `ready` → `publishing` → `published`, or `failed` |
| `length_in`, `thickness_in` | Required. 1/8" step. |
| `sqft`, `bdft`, widths | From client math. |
| `species_id` | 1 species leaf. |
| `wood_category_ids` | 1 or more. |
| `edge_type_term_id` | 1. |
| `figure_term_ids` | 1 or more. |
| `grade_term_ids` | 1 or more. |
| `thickness_term_id` | Round-up band. |
| `moisture_term_id` | 1. Default kiln-dried. |
| `fig_tag_ids` | 1 or more. |
| `feat_tag_ids` | 0 or more. |
| `price`, `price_per_bdft`, `price_source` | See Pricing. |
| `title`, `short_title`, `description` | Optional for ready. |

Cache tables: `woo_categories`, `woo_attributes`, `woo_attribute_terms`, `woo_tags`, `pricing_rules`.

Device draft (IndexedDB on the phone) is not a WooCommerce draft. Clear the device draft after successful create.

---

## Practice / UAT rules

- Every practice listing uses SKU prefix `SLAB-UAT-*`.
- `SLAB-UAT-*` always creates a WooCommerce draft, even if Settings say publish.
- Customers must not see practice listings on the storefront.
- Inference is **off** for the claimable exit walk. Optional ON path only after inference Settings pass `test-inference`.
- UAT deploy for this branch: ubudual5060 `http://100.64.0.9:10881`. Do not use `:10880`.

---

## API surface M3 must implement (summary)

Base path `/api/v1` (health may also be `/api/health`).

| Area | Methods |
|---|---|
| Health | `GET /api/health` |
| Slabs | `POST/GET/PUT/DELETE /api/v1/slabs`, `GET /api/v1/slabs/{id}` |
| Photos | original/processed GET while retained |
| Inference | `POST .../infer-taxon`, `POST .../infer-content` |
| Publish | `POST .../publish` → 202, poll slab |
| Taxonomy | `GET/POST /api/v1/admin/taxonomy`, `.../sync` |
| Pricing | CRUD `/api/v1/admin/pricing` |
| Settings | `GET/PUT /api/v1/settings`, `test-woo`, `test-inference` |

Full request and response field lists on historical `main` `docs/OPENAPI.md` are the detail reference if a field is missing here. Prefer extending this file over coding from `main` directly.

---

## Done when (exit criteria)

**Product state induced.** Overnight UAT app on ubudual5060 `http://100.64.0.9:10881` (or the current M3 image of this branch), with `WOO_BASE_URL` and Woo application password pointed at the intended store.

**Evidence from that state.**

1. `test-woo` succeeds and taxonomy sync fills Woo attributes into the app cache. Pickers offer only synced ids.
2. A Photos-ready slab can be filled to the **full ready set** (submission-ready) using those lists and pricing rules, with **inference off**.
3. Create with `SLAB-UAT-*` yields a WooCommerce **draft** whose categories, attributes, tags, price, and inventory images match the reviewed ready set.
4. Duplicate SKU is blocked. Device draft clears after success.
5. Inference Settings accept an OpenAI-compatible base URL, key, and model. `test-inference` runs. Create still succeeds with inference disabled.

## Dishonest proxies (do not count as pass)

- Hardcoded or fixture taxonomy lists treated as synced.
- Mock Woo client that never hits the real store for the exit walk.
- Unit tests alone without a real `SLAB-UAT-*` draft in the store.
- Consumer-key auth instead of application password.
- Inference "wired" as dead config with no server proxy, or create that requires inference on.
- Claiming submission-ready when required ready-set fields are still empty.
- Touching `:10880` or parking work on `m2-ds` / doc-simplification.

## Open decisions (must lock before task breakdown)

These came from comparing `CREATE.md` to the technical requirements on `main`. Do not invent Woo API shapes to fill them.

1. **`categories` on `POST /products`.** Ready set requires species plus wood-category leaf ids. The `main` CONTENT-WOO example only shows a species id in `categories[]`. Confirm: send **all** ready-set category ids (species + every wood category) as `[{"id": n}, ...]` per Woo REST product `categories`.

2. **`attributes` element shape on `POST /products`.** `main` leaves `"attributes": [ … if present … ]` without fields. Need the exact Woo REST object fields for the five locked attributes (typically attribute `id`, `options` as term names, `visible`, `variation`). Prefer a live product sample from Whidbey Wood Store or the official Woo REST product-attribute docs Ty points us at. Do not guess.

3. **Dimension-overlay PNG.** Photos-ready lineup includes the overlay copy. `main` says only `kind=inventory` images go to Woo (≤5). Confirm: **omit** the overlay from Woo upload, **include** it as an inventory image, or something else.

4. **Template `{character}`.** Default title/short/description templates need a `{character}` string. Confirm the source when `feat-*` is empty, one tag, or many (for example first feat tag name, figure term, or a dedicated field).

5. **Server persistence.** `main` OpenAPI assumes a full server slab row and status machine. This branch still centers the device draft. Confirm M3 server persistence: full slab store as on `main`, or a thinner path (Settings + taxonomy + pricing + create from an uploaded ready package) with device draft as the client source of truth until create.

Non-blocking notes (shipped M1/M2 win on this branch): fill target 90% and 800px floor (not main's 80%/1600); Vite + Svelte SPA (not SvelteKit docs); overlay draw spacing may differ from measure spacing by design.

If store-specific term labels differ from examples in this file, the synced store lists win.
