| Current Phase | v0.7.0 — Athena AI Integration |
Bug fixes discovered during end-to-end testing of the Athena + Artemis integration on Windows. Two critical issues that prevented the chat sidebar from working with the live Agent Builder backend.
Kibana API Response Format Fix
- Fixed black screen crash when agent responds — Kibana Agent Builder returns
{ response: { message: "..." } }, but the React client expected{ response: "..." }. Passing an object tomarked.parse()crashed React's render tree, blanking the entire screen - Added nested response extraction in
athena-api.tsmatching the originalvoice.jspattern (data.response.message) - Added defensive type guard in
renderMarkdown— converts non-string values to string before passing tomarked, preventing future render crashes
Dashboard Live Updates
- Added TanStack Query cache invalidation after every agent response in
useAthenaChat— invalidatespomodoroKeys,taskKeys,dailyPlanKeys, andanalyticsKeys - Actions triggered via Athena (start Pomodoro, create task, assign to daily plan) now reflect immediately on the dashboard without manual refresh
Key decisions:
- Broad invalidation over selective — since we don't know which MCP tools the agent called, invalidating all four query families is simpler and more reliable than trying to parse the response for tool usage hints
useQueryClientin chat hook — follows the existing mutation pattern inusePomodoro.tsanduseTasks.ts
Embedded the Athena AI assistant (second brain orchestrator) as a right-side chat drawer inside Artemis. Users can text or voice-chat with Athena about their Obsidian vault, tasks, and plans without leaving the productivity dashboard.
API Layer
-
athena-api.ts— fetch-based client for chat, transcription, and TTS (athenaChat,athenaTranscribe,athenaSpeak), following the existingapi.tswrapper pattern - Vite dev proxy:
/athena/*→localhost:3001/api/*— eliminates CORS issues during development
State Management
-
chatStore.ts— Zustand store (messages, conversationId, status, voiceMode) following thetimerStore.tspattern -
useAthenaChathook — wires store + API, manages conversation ID across turns, returns response text for the voice hook to pass to TTS
Voice Pipeline
-
useVoiceRecorderhook — MediaRecorder wrapper with opus codec preference (audio/webm;codecs=opus), mic track cleanup on stop/cancel -
useAthenaVoicehook — orchestrates the full voice pipeline: record → transcribe (Whisper) → chat (Agent Builder) → speak (OpenAI TTS). Reads voice and auto-speak settings from localStorage
ChatSidebar Component
- 420px right drawer on desktop, full-screen on mobile, spring slide-in animation via
motion/react - Glassmorphism styling with
luxury-*tokens, matching the design system - Agent messages rendered as markdown via
marked+DOMPurifysanitization - Welcome screen with greeting and 3 clickable hint chips ("What's in my vault?", "Plan my day", "Search for API notes")
- Voice mode toggle (Mic/MessageSquare icons), large animated mic button (red pulse when recording, expanding ring animation)
- Settings dialog (Radix Dialog) — voice selection dropdown (6 OpenAI voices), auto-speak toggle, localStorage persistence
- Status indicators: recording (red pulse), transcribing (indigo pulse), thinking (3-dot bounce), speaking (4 animated bars)
- Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle recording (voice mode), Escape to cancel/close
AppShell Integration
- Floating action button — gradient indigo→gold, positioned
bottom-20 right-6(clears mobile BottomNav), spring scale animation, hides when sidebar open - Content padding shift —
lg:pr-[420px]with smooth CSS transition when sidebar open on desktop

Component + types |
New dependencies: marked, dompurify, @types/dompurify
Key decisions:
- Vite proxy over direct CORS — cleaner dev experience, no credentials in frontend
- Zustand over TanStack Query for chat — messages are local-only ephemeral state, not server-cached resources
marked+DOMPurifyoverreact-markdown— lighter bundle, same result for our use case- Voice settings in localStorage — simple key-value, no store needed for infrequently-changed preferences
- ChatSidebar as design-system feature component — follows TaskCard/PomodoroWidget pattern (types.ts + index.tsx)
Validation: TypeScript 0 errors, production build succeeds (953KB JS, 55KB CSS).
Added a Guide page with feature documentation and moved Settings to the sidebar bottom section.
-
pages-new/Guide/index.tsx— 6 feature sections (Tasks, Daily Plan, Pomodoro, Analytics, Keyboard Shortcuts, Tips) with glassmorphism cards and lucide-react icons - Sidebar
bottomItemsprop — Settings and Guide links appear below the main nav, separated by a border - Updated
navItems.tswith Guide route and Sidebar types withbottomItemssupport
Started from zero. Set up the full-stack skeleton in a single session.
Backend: FastAPI app with Pydantic Settings v2, Structlog (JSON logging with correlation IDs), Supabase client with graceful fallback, request logging middleware, base exception classes, health check endpoint. 3 passing tests from day one.
Frontend: Vite + React + TypeScript, Tailwind CSS wired to the Stratos Louvaris brand system (dark theme, indigo/cyan/orange accents), shadcn/ui with custom Button and Card variants, React Router, placeholder Dashboard page.
Infrastructure: Docker Compose with multi-stage builds for both services (backend:8000, frontend:3000), health checks, service dependencies.
Key decision: Vertical Slice Architecture from the start. Features organized by capability, not by technical layer. This shaped every phase that followed.
Two quick sessions to tighten the developer experience before building features.
- Created CLAUDE.md (598 lines) — architecture guide, brand reference, code patterns, logging taxonomy
- Consolidated two
.env.examplefiles into a single root.envwith Vitedefinemapping - Added Claude Code commands and skills for frontend design, prompt engineering, and browser testing
Key decision: Single root .env eliminated credential duplication. Backend reads ../.env, Vite maps shared vars to VITE_* at build time, Docker injects via build args.
First feature slice. Planned for 1 hour, implemented in 1 hour.
Backend: features/tasks/ slice — routes, service, repository, schemas, exceptions. Full CRUD at /tasks with quadrant filtering and completion tracking. 5 new tests.
Frontend: TaskCard with quadrant-specific glow effects, EisenhowerMatrix 4-quadrant grid, QuickTaskInput for inline creation with Enter key, TasksPage with matrix/list view toggle. TanStack Query hooks for all mutations with cache invalidation.
Also this phase: Built cross-platform setup scripts (setup.sh, setup.bat) that validate Python 3.12+, check Supabase connectivity, and run SQL migrations. Created the first migration (001_create_tasks_table.sql).
Key decisions:
- TanStack Query for server state (already installed, fits the pattern)
QuickTaskInputover modal dialog (faster UX, fewer clicks)- Tests flexible for 422/503 — pass whether DB is configured or not
The 1-3-5 rule: 1 major, 3 medium, 5 small tasks per day.
Backend: features/daily_plan/ slice with 6 exception classes, UUID array columns for task slots, slot limit enforcement, computed completion rate. 12 tests covering slot validation, duplicate prevention, and task assignment.
Frontend: DailyPlanView with 9 visual task slots (1+3+5 layout), TaskSelector modal with search from task backlog, PlanProgress bar, brand colors per slot type (indigo for major, cyan for medium, orange for small).
Key decisions:
UUID[]PostgreSQL arrays instead of join tables — simpler schema for a single-user app/daily-plans/todayauto-creates the plan — seamless UX, no explicit creation step- Single-plan constraint per task — enforces daily focus
The most complex phase. Required real-time state synchronization.
Backend: features/pomodoro/ slice with REST endpoints for CRUD + WebSocket at /ws/{session_id} for real-time ticks. TimerConnectionManager handles WebSocket lifecycle. Service auto-completes sessions and increments task pomodoro_count. 8 tests.
Frontend: Zustand store for timer state (updates every second — too frequent for TanStack Query). usePomodoroWebSocket hook with exponential backoff reconnection. TimerDisplay with state-based styling (indigo during work, cyan during break), glow effects, session progress bar.
Migration fix discovered: DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS fails in Supabase when the table doesn't exist (Supabase validates the entire script before execution). Fixed with DO $$ BEGIN ... END $$; blocks that check pg_trigger first.
Key decisions:
- REST + WebSocket hybrid — REST for CRUD, WebSocket for real-time ticks (easier testing)
- Zustand for timer, TanStack Query for everything else — right tool for each frequency
- Server-side timer logic — ensures accuracy, prevents client manipulation
- WebSocket per session ID — isolation and easier debugging
Analytics dashboard with no new database tables — all aggregation from existing data.
Backend: features/analytics/ slice with 3 endpoints: summary, pomodoro trends, task distribution. Productivity score algorithm: 40% focus time, 35% task completion, 25% plan adherence. 7 tests.
Frontend: Recharts integration (140KB gzip — chosen over Tremor at 494KB). Five visualization components: AnalyticsSummary (4 metric cards), ProductivityScoreCard (SVG circular progress ring), PomodoroTrendChart (line chart), TasksByQuadrantChart (horizontal bar chart), TimeRangeSelector (day/week/month toggle).
Polish: Keyboard shortcuts hook — Space to start/pause Pomodoro, Escape to stop. Input-aware (disabled when typing in form fields).
Key decisions:
- Recharts over Tremor — 3.5x smaller bundle, sufficient features
- Server-side aggregation — consistency and reduced client load
- No new migrations — analytics are read-only views of existing data
Set up Playwright-based browser automation for UI validation. Created a Claude Code skill (agent-browser) and a direct Playwright wrapper script (scripts/browser-test.js) as a workaround for a Windows daemon socket issue. 6 tests covering dashboard load, feature cards, CTAs, API health, Pomodoro page, and timer controls.
Laid the groundwork for migrating to the "Deep Cozy Luxury" design system without breaking existing functionality.
Infrastructure: Created src/design-system/ folder structure with tokens (colors, typography, spacing, animations), hooks (glassmorphism, breathing glow), and animation utilities (confetti, particles placeholder, transitions). Installed motion (Framer Motion), @fontsource/playfair-display, @fontsource/inter, and canvas-confetti.
Tailwind Extension: Extended tailwind.config.js with luxury color palette (obsidian backgrounds, champagne gold accents, electric indigo/cyan/orange quadrant colors), Playfair Display font family, glassmorphism utilities, breathing glow animations, and backdrop blur settings. All existing Stratos tokens preserved for backward compatibility.
Design Tokens: Implemented complete token system — colors (Deep Cozy Luxury palette), typography (Playfair Display for headers, Inter for body), spacing scale, and animation constants (durations, easing, Framer Motion spring configs).
Key decisions:
- Separate
luxurynamespace in Tailwind — preserves existing Stratos tokens during migration - Parallel design system structure — enables incremental migration without breaking current UI
- Font imports before CSS — ensures proper font-display: swap for performance
- Central export file — convenient
@/design-systemimports for all tokens and utilities
Documentation: Created DESIGN_SYSTEM.md (504 lines), IMPLEMENTATION_ROADMAP.md (496 lines), and SCREENS_QUICK_REFERENCE.md with complete specifications for 14 luxury UI screens designed in Stitch.
Validation: All checks pass — 0 TypeScript errors, 0 lint errors (1 pre-existing warning), successful production build, dev server runs without errors.
Built the complete component library for the luxury design system. All 8 components implement glassmorphism, premium animations, and full accessibility.
Base Components (4): GlassCard (glassmorphism container with hover lift), Button (4 variants: primary gradient, secondary gold, ghost, danger; includes loading state with spinner), Input (glassmorphism field with focus glow and error states), Badge (quadrant indicators with Q1-Q4 color variants and matching glows).
Layout Components (2): PageHeader (sticky header with scroll-based blur intensification), Sidebar (collapsible navigation with localStorage persistence and active link gold highlighting).
Feature Components (2): ProgressRing (SVG circular progress with indigo→gold gradient stroke and pulsing glow for Pomodoro timer), TaskCard (luxury task display with quadrant-specific glows, completion checkbox with spring animation, Pomodoro count).
Component Architecture: All components use React.forwardRef for ref forwarding, TypeScript strict mode with dedicated .types.ts files, Framer Motion for animations (hover scale 1.02, tap scale 0.98, 300ms easeOut transitions), class-variance-authority for variant management, and design tokens from @/design-system.
Accessibility: Full keyboard navigation (Tab, Enter, Space), visible focus indicators with gold ring (focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-luxury-gold), ARIA labels on icon-only elements, semantic HTML throughout.
Key decisions:
- Type assertions (
as any) for Framer Motion prop spreading — acceptable workaround for type system conflicts, code is runtime-safe - Component composition pattern — TaskCard uses GlassCard + Badge, reduces duplication
- Separate type files — cleaner imports and better IDE support
- Central export file at
@/design-system/components— convenient imports for all components
Files Created (18): 8 component implementations, 8 TypeScript type files, 1 central export file, 1 design system index update.
Validation: TypeScript compilation passes (0 errors), production build succeeds in 6.39s, all components ready for Phase 2 parallel routes.
Implemented the Strangler Fig pattern by creating parallel /new/* routes alongside the existing app. Users can now toggle between the old Stratos design and the new Deep Cozy Luxury design.
New Dashboard (/new/dashboard): Built complete luxury dashboard using Phase 1 components — FeatureCard component with glassmorphism and quadrant-specific glow colors (indigo, cyan, orange), CTASection with 4 action buttons, PageHeader with Playfair Display typography, Sidebar with navigation, responsive grid layout (1→2→4 columns).
UI Toggle System: Created UIToggle component with route detection (useLocation), navigation between old/new UI, glassmorphism background, fixed top-right positioning, smooth fade-in animation. Added to both old and new dashboards for bidirectional switching.
Routing: Extended App.tsx with /new/dashboard route (imported as DashboardNew to avoid naming conflict). Old dashboard at / remains completely untouched except for UIToggle addition.
Component Architecture: FeatureCard uses motion hover animations (translateY -4px), supports optional Link wrapper for navigation, accepts icon/title/description/href/glowColor props. CTASection uses responsive flex layout (column→row), luxury Button variants (primary/secondary/ghost).
Key decisions:
- Used "ghost" variant instead of "tertiary" (Button component only has 4 variants)
- Removed unused React imports to fix lint warnings
- UIToggle uses fixed positioning to avoid layout interference
- Glassmorphism effects applied via luxury design tokens (luxury-obsidian, luxury-gold, etc.)
Files Created (6): pages-new/Dashboard/index.tsx, pages-new/Dashboard/components/FeatureCard.tsx, pages-new/Dashboard/components/CTASection.tsx, pages-new/Dashboard/components/index.ts, components/shared/UIToggle.tsx, components/shared/index.ts.
Files Modified (2): App.tsx (added route), Dashboard.tsx (added UIToggle).
Validation: TypeScript compilation passes (0 errors), production build succeeds in 7.39s, dev server runs on port 3001, no breaking changes to existing functionality. Both dashboards coexist successfully with full feature parity.
First page migrated in the Phase 3 incremental migration sequence. Settings was chosen as lowest risk — no backend dependencies, isolated functionality, read-only from the app's perspective.
Page Layout: Dual-pane design with a glassmorphism category navigation sidebar (left) and content panels (right). 5 categories: General, Appearance, Pomodoro, Notifications, Data & Privacy. PageHeader + Sidebar layout matching the luxury Dashboard pattern.
Custom Controls (4): Toggle with spring-animated thumb and champagne gold active state, Slider with gold thumb and real-time value display, Select with glassmorphism dropdown, SettingRow as a GlassCard wrapper for consistent spacing. All controls include label, description, and disabled state support.
State Management: useSettings hook with localStorage persistence (artemis-settings key). Loads on mount with try/catch fallback to defaults, updates individual settings with type-safe generic setter, exports settings as downloadable JSON, resets to defaults with confirmation dialog.
Settings Categories: General (username, work hours, daily task limit slider), Appearance (theme, accent color, font size selects), Pomodoro (work/short break/long break duration sliders, sessions before long break), Notifications (master toggle with cascading disabled state for sound/desktop/break reminder toggles), Data & Privacy (analytics toggle, retention days slider, export/reset buttons).
Navigation Integration: Added SettingsNav component with 5 categories using lucide-react icons, active state with gold glow (shadow-glow-gold), motion hover/tap animations. Added Settings link to Dashboard sidebar navItems. Route registered at /new/settings in App.tsx.
Key decisions:
- localStorage over Zustand — settings are small (<1KB) and only accessed on this page
- State-based category rendering over dynamic routing — simpler for 5 categories
- Native
confirm()for reset dialog — acceptable for MVP, luxury modal later motion/reactimport (notmotion) — matched existing codebase patternfont-displayclass (notfont-playfair) — matched PageHeader conventionshadow-glow-goldclass — matched actual Tailwind config key names
Files Created (10): pages-new/Settings/index.tsx, pages-new/Settings/types.ts, pages-new/Settings/hooks/useSettings.ts, pages-new/Settings/components/Toggle.tsx, pages-new/Settings/components/Slider.tsx, pages-new/Settings/components/Select.tsx, pages-new/Settings/components/SettingRow.tsx, pages-new/Settings/components/SettingsNav.tsx, pages-new/Settings/components/SettingsSection.tsx, pages-new/Settings/components/index.ts.
Files Modified (2): App.tsx (added /new/settings route), pages-new/Dashboard/index.tsx (added Settings to sidebar nav).
Validation: TypeScript compilation passes (0 errors), ESLint passes on all new files (0 errors), production build succeeds in 8.09s. Updated IMPLEMENTATION_ROADMAP.md to reflect Phase 3 progress.
Migrated all remaining pages to the luxury design system: Analytics, Tasks, Daily Plan, Pomodoro.
Analytics: 7 components — metric cards, Recharts charts with luxury obsidian theme, ProgressRing productivity score, time range selector. Read-only, lowest risk.
Tasks: QuadrantGrid component (reusable 2x2 grid with compact mode), QuickTaskInput with glassmorphism, TaskList with design-system TaskCards, confetti on completion.
Daily Plan: 1-3-5 plan view with slot sections (indigo/cyan/orange glows), task selector modal, backlog sidebar, live progress bar, 100% completion confetti.
Pomodoro: Full-size ProgressRing timer, WebSocket sync (copied exact useEffect logic from old page), task linker, session list, connection status, keyboard shortcuts preserved.
Shared infrastructure: AppShell layout wrapper (Sidebar + PageHeader + content area), centralized navItems.ts with Lucide icons, reusable feature widgets (QuadrantGrid, PomodoroWidget, PlanWidget, DailyStatsBar).
Replaced the placeholder feature-card Dashboard with a 3-column productivity hub.
Layout: Column 1 (PlanWidget — today's 1-3-5 progress), Column 2 (PomodoroWidget — live timer with Start/Stop), Column 3 (QuadrantGrid compact — task overview). Bottom: DailyStatsBar with 4 aggregate metrics. All data live via existing hooks.
Built 5 screens that didn't exist in the old app:
- TaskCreationModal — glassmorphism overlay, quadrant selector, pomodoro estimate, Cmd+Enter submit
- SessionCompleteCelebration — full-screen confetti overlay, achievement badges, session stats, auto-dismiss
- BreakModeScreen — breathing circle animation, wellness activities, motivational messages, skip button
- Onboarding — 3-step wizard (Welcome → Features → Get Started), localStorage first-visit flag
- DailyReflection — 5-star rating, journal prompt, carry-forward tasks, localStorage persistence
- BottomNav — fixed glassmorphism nav bar, visible < lg, hidden on desktop
- AppShell updated — Sidebar hidden on mobile, BottomNav shown, content padding adjusted
- Tasks — SwipeableTabs for per-quadrant mobile view, QuadrantGrid on desktop only
- Dashboard — FAB (floating action button) with quick actions (Add Task, Start Pomodoro, Plan Day)
- Analytics — horizontal scroll wrappers for charts on narrow viewports
Full cutover from old UI to luxury design system. Zero functionality loss.
Routes: Removed all /new/ prefixes. Old pages deleted entirely. 8 final routes.
Deleted: 5 old pages, 22 old feature components, 4 shadcn UI components, UIToggle, chartTheme.ts, all empty directories (~35 files total).
Config cleanup: Tailwind purged of old stratos/background/surface tokens. index.css rewritten for luxury defaults (bg-luxury-obsidian, font-inter, font-playfair headings). Old Montserrat font-display removed.
Fixes during cutover: 4 as any → as Record<string, unknown> lint fixes, 2 exhaustive-deps warnings resolved, 2 stale /new/ route references caught by grep.
Validation: tsc --noEmit (0 errors), npm run lint (0 errors), npm run build (success, 824KB JS / 51KB CSS).
The decisions that shaped the project, consolidated from all phases.
| Decision | Rationale |
|---|---|
| Vertical Slice Architecture | Feature isolation, clear boundaries, AI-friendly structure |
Pydantic Settings v2 + lru_cache |
Type-safe config with env file support and singleton pattern |
| Structlog JSON logging | Production-ready with correlation IDs and structured context |
Single root .env |
No credential duplication; Vite define maps shared vars |
| TanStack Query + Zustand split | Server state via Query, high-frequency timer via Zustand |
| REST + WebSocket hybrid | REST for CRUD testability, WebSocket for real-time ticks |
| Server-side timer | Accuracy and tamper resistance over client-side simplicity |
| PostgreSQL UUID arrays | Simpler than join tables for single-user daily plan slots |
| Recharts (140KB) | Best bundle-size-to-features ratio for the dashboard |
| No analytics migrations | Aggregate from existing tables — read-only, zero schema cost |
| Strangler Fig migration | Parallel /new/* routes during migration, clean cutover at the end |
| AppShell layout wrapper | Eliminates sidebar/header duplication across all pages |
| Luxury namespace in Tailwind | luxury-* tokens coexisted with old tokens during migration |
| BottomNav on mobile | Sidebar hidden < lg, glassmorphism bottom nav replaces it |
| Vite proxy for Athena | /athena → voice proxy; no CORS, no API keys in frontend |
| Zustand for chat state | Ephemeral messages, not server-cached — wrong fit for TanStack Query |
| ChatSidebar as design-system component | Follows established types.ts + index.tsx pattern, exported centrally |
| Broad query invalidation after agent | Can't know which MCP tools ran; invalidate all 4 families cheaply |
Tasks — GET/POST /tasks, GET/PATCH/DELETE /tasks/{id}, POST /tasks/{id}/complete
Daily Plans — GET/POST /daily-plans, GET /daily-plans/today, GET /daily-plans/{id}, POST/DELETE /daily-plans/{id}/tasks
Pomodoro — GET /pomodoro/active, POST /pomodoro/start|stop|complete, GET /pomodoro/sessions, WS /pomodoro/ws/{session_id}
Analytics — GET /analytics/summary|pomodoro-trends|task-distribution
System — GET /, GET /health, GET /docs
Design system migration and Athena AI integration are complete. The app is a unified productivity + AI assistant experience. End-to-end flow validated: chat sidebar communicates with Elastic Agent Builder, MCP tools create tasks / start Pomodoro / manage daily plans, and the dashboard updates in real-time.
Remaining for Athena demo (Feb 27 deadline):
- Optional: streaming responses (SSE token-by-token rendering)
- Demo video recording
Future enhancements:
- Connect Settings to actual app behavior (theme switching, Pomodoro durations)
- Audio notifications for timer completion
- Deep Work mode (90+ minute sessions)
- Export analytics to CSV/PDF
- User authentication (Supabase Auth)
- Settings sync to Supabase for multi-device
- E2E test coverage for new pages
