Pulse Mobile Shell Redesign
What This Is
A ground-up redesign of Pulse's /mobile/* shell — the manager-on-the-go view of
the existing Pulse PSA dashboard. It replaces the current mobile layout, swaps
the standalone /mobile/nav page for a Sheet drawer, restyles Dashboard /
Tickets / Finance, and adds two new mobile surfaces (Analyzer feed,
Engagement). Built on the existing Pulse codebase — same routes, same data,
phone-first layouts.
Core Value
A manager can open Pulse on their phone and, in under 30 seconds, see the state of the business and triage tickets — without ever needing to switch to desktop for read-only awareness.
Current Milestone: v2.0 PAX8 Integration
Goal: Sync PAX8 licensing/subscription data into Pulse, read-only, mapped to Autotask companies, so managers can see subscription costs and seat counts alongside existing company data.
Target features:
- PAX8 client + factory (OAuth2 client-credentials; credentials already provisioned)
- Read-only sync of companies, subscriptions, product catalog, and orders/invoices into Postgres
- Fuzzy-name matching of PAX8 companies to Autotask companies, with a manual-review path for unmatched/ambiguous cases
- New
/pax8page (company list, subscriptions, cost breakdown) - Daily sync via the existing scheduler pattern
Unrelated in domain to the v1.0 Mobile Shell Redesign above — this milestone
adds a new backend integration and admin-facing surface, not a mobile change.
See .planning/seeds/SEED-002-pax8-integration.md for the exploration that
scoped this milestone. .planning/seeds/SEED-003-general-pulse-data-assistant.md
(NL chatbot over Pulse data) is explicitly out of scope here — a separate
future milestone that will consume this data once it exists.

cursor-based infinite scroll (~25/page) via IntersectionObserver, Load more
fallback, detail page header reskinned. Backed by

New endpoint/api/mobile/analyzer/feed; existing/api/analyzer/analyses/[id]reused for detail. No editing, no re-run, no prompt-tuning on mobile. Validated in Phase 6: Analyzer Feed (ANL-01..06) - ✓ Engagement overview (NEW) —
/mobile/engagementphone-first refactor reachable from the More drawer (NOT the bottom bar). Sticky 3-chip period selector (7d/30d/90d), 4 stacked summary cards (active users / total Graph hours / total Autotask hours / hours-per-active-user), single-series SVG sparkline (no recharts), sortable per-employee list (Hours/Name/Utilization) with client-side search and IntersectionObserver infinite scroll. Two new endpoints:/api/mobile/engagement/summary(totals) and/api/mobile/engagement/trend(daily-hours time-series). Existing/api/engagement/usersreused as-is. Read-only on mobile. Validated in Phase 7: Engagement Overview (ENG-01..05, ENG-09) - ✓ Per-user IANA timezone —
user.timezonecolumn (default'UTC'),session.user.timezoneexposed via Better AuthadditionalFields,GET/PUT /api/me/timezone(IANA-validated; allowlist includesUTC/Etc/UTC/GMT), sharedgetUserTimezone(session)server helper, shareduseUserTimezone()client hook (single source of truth — 52 client files migrated), all 6 affected read paths (/api/dashboard/{overview,trends},/api/mobile/{dashboard,finance,engagement/summary,engagement/trend}) switched to(value AT TIME ZONE 'UTC') AT TIME ZONE $tzday-boundary math./api/mobile/financehardened withrequireAuth(). Storage UTC unchanged. Engagement_snapshots-derived metrics keep UTC bucketing (documented carve-out). Validated in Phase 7.1: User Timezone Fix (TZ-01..04) - ✓ Engagement user profile (NEW) —
/mobile/engagement/[userId]real-page profile replacing the desktop modal pattern. Server-side photo proxy at/api/mobile/engagement/user/[userId]/photo(MsGraphClient.getUserPhotoBytes(),Cache-Control: private, max-age=3600, neutral 404/502/503). Client page composes six new components — Skeleton, Header (photo with onError → initials fallback), MetricGrid (2×2), Breakdown (Time/Communication/ Meetings with conditional Zoom + after-hours), RecentEntries, RecentMeetings. Reuses/api/engagement/user/[userId]verbatim. Period chips (D7/D30/D90) refetch on change. Scroll restoration on back is partial (sessionStorage shim added but does not restore reliably; accepted as a known limitation). Validated in Phase 8: Engagement User Profile (ENG-06..08) - ✓ User profile & preferences (NEW) —
/mobile/profilepage with four sections: Timezone (Combobox + 400ms debounce + live clock), Theme (light/dark/system radio rows persisted touser.themewith cross-device sync viaThemeSessionBridge+ desktopThemeTogglewrite-through), Notifications matrix (event_key × channel_type, opt-in default), and Channels (personal Teams webhook + ntfy topic with QR code, per-channel test-send, inline 400-error display). Three new migrations: 084 (user.theme), 085 (notification_channels.owner_user_id+ partial unique index), 086 (notify_event_keys+user_event_subscriptions). API surface at/api/me/{theme,channels,channels/[type],channels/[type]/test,notification-subscriptions}all session-scoped viarequireAuth(); sharedlib/services/personal-channels.tscentralizes validation, ntfy topic minting, and test-send. Notify pipeline step extended withrouting: explicit | event-key | hybridand 5 fallback reasons (user_muted,event_key_unknown,recipient_unresolvable,channel_missing,channel_send_failed); fully backward-compatible with existing global notify configs. Admin surfaces: channels page Owner column- filter, event-keys CRUD at
/admin/workflow/event-keys, executions browser at/admin/workflow/executionswith "Show only fallbacks" filter. Validated in Phase 9: User Profile & Preferences (PROF-01..04, TZ-CHOOSER-01..02, THEME-01..05, CHAN-01..07, SUB-01..04, ROUTE-01..07)
- filter, event-keys CRUD at
- ✓ PAX8 client + factory (OAuth2 client-credentials,
lib/services/pax8-client.tslib/services/pax8-factory.ts+lib/types/pax8.ts) and the PAX8 schema foundation (migrations/091_pax8_tables.sql— companies, products, subscriptions, orders, order_items, company_match_review). Live auth-proof confirmed against the real PAX8 API (scripts/verify-pax8-auth.ts). Validated in Phase 10: PAX8 Client & Auth Foundation (PAX8-01, PAX8-02)
- ✓ Company, catalog & subscription sync (NEW) —
Pax8SyncService.fullSync(lib/services/pax8-sync-service.ts) reads companies/subscriptions/products from PAX8 (read-only pagination helpers onPax8Client) and upserts into Postgres with dual customer-price/partner-cost columns (migrations/092_pax8_subscription_costs.sql), a referenced-only readable product catalog (name + category via join, not bare SKUs), and soft-delete reconciliation on every run. Fire-and-forget trigger at session-gatedPOST /api/pax8/sync(409 on concurrent run) withGETstatus/counts. Live-verified against the real PAX8 API: 118 companies, 445 subscriptions all carrying cost data, 0 unreferenced products, stable across re-run. Validated in Phase 11: Company, Catalog & Subscription Sync (PAX8-03, PAX8-04, PAX8-05, PAX8-08) - ✓ Historical PAX8 invoice/order-item costs synced per company with billing
periods (
pax8_order_items: 29,311 rows across ~56k live history), fuzzy-name Autotask company matching via pg_trgm (0.90 auto-link threshold, 80 confident auto-matches), no-match/ambiguous companies flagged inpax8_company_match_reviewinstead of silently guessed (38 unresolved: 16 no-match, 22 ambiguous), idempotent across re-syncs (resolved matches never overwritten). Validated in Phase 12: Orders/Invoices & Company Matching (PAX8-06, PAX8-10, PAX8-11)
Active
- New
/pax8page, daily sync cadence — v2.0 PAX8 Integration milestone (see above); client/auth/schema foundation (Phase 10), current-state sync (Phase 11), and historical orders/invoices + company matching (Phase 12) now validated above
Out of Scope
- PAX8 write access (seat adjustments, placing orders) — read-only in v2.0; revisit only if reconciliation surfaces a concrete need to act, not just view
- General natural-language data assistant / chatbot over Pulse data — separate future milestone (SEED-003), deliberately not bundled with the PAX8 data sync
- Service worker / offline cache / push notifications — deferred until a clear offline use-case lands
- Tablet breakpoint (
md:max-w-2xl) — noted as follow-up, keepmax-w-lg - Real notification list behind the Bell icon — placeholder only this iteration
- Mobile editing on Engagement (user detail) or Analyzer (re-run, prompt edits) — read-only on mobile by design
- Charts / recharts on the mobile Dashboard — not earning their weight on small widths
- Restyling or replacing the desktop pages reachable from the More drawer — desktop pages stay as they are
Context
- Brownfield project. Pulse is a Next.js 16 + React 19 PSA dashboard for
Wulf Consulting. Existing codebase fully mapped at
.planning/codebase/*.md. SeeCLAUDE.md,ARCHITECTURE.md,DESIGN.mdin repo root. - Audience. Wulf Consulting managers using Pulse on iOS/Android during the workday — the shell is for status checks and triage, not full editing.
- Mobile is not a replacement for desktop. Pages where mobile editing
isn't justified link out via the More drawer with an
ExternalLinkhint. - Source of truth for this work.
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-03-mobile-shell-design.md— 8-section spec with explicit build order. Phases should follow it. - Existing mobile shell is small. Current
app/mobile/layout.tsxhas 3 bottom-nav tabs and a/mobile/navpage. This redesign rebuilds it in place — no/mobile-v2, no parallel routes. - Engagement and Analyzer pages on desktop are large (~1300 + ~650 lines for engagement; analyzer pipeline already has a desktop UI). Mobile surfaces reuse the data sources but build phone-first layouts from scratch.
Constraints
- Tech stack: Next.js 16 App Router, React 19, Tailwind 4, shadcn/ui — match existing Pulse conventions (no new state libraries, no SWR/react-query, no ORM, no Zod in API routes unless required)
- Routes: Keep all existing
/mobile/*paths. Replace files in place. No new top-level routes outside/mobile/. - Build order: Each spec step ships independently — no big-bang merge.
Phase boundaries should let each step land on
mastercleanly. - No service worker / no offline: don't introduce
next-pwaor a custom SW in this iteration. - Auth: existing Better Auth + middleware handles
/mobile/*. No new auth surface. - Data sources: reuse existing endpoints where possible; add
/api/mobile/*only when an existing list endpoint doesn't return the needed shape (e.g., analyzer feed).
Key Decisions
| Decision | Rationale | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
Rebuild /mobile in place (no /mobile-v2) |
Spec §2 — keep canonical URLs, avoid parallel maintenance burden | — Pending |
| Bottom nav = 4 tabs + More (5 cells), Engagement in More | Spec §3.1, §6.5 — managers don't check Engagement as often as the four primary surfaces | — Pending |
| Ship each spec step as its own phase | Spec §8 — independent ship reduces merge risk and keeps reviews focused | — Pending |
| Bell icon is a placeholder only | Spec §5.1 — real notification list deferred; keep keyboard-accessible button so future phase can wire it | — Pending |
| No service worker in this iteration | Spec §4 — defer until a clear offline use-case lands | — Pending |
| Engagement mobile is a real refactor, not a thin adaptation | Spec §6.5 — desktop's wide tables and modals don't translate; build phone-first from same data sources | — Pending |
| Mobile user-detail is a page, not a modal | Spec §6.5 — back gesture needs real navigation history | — Pending |
Evolution
This document evolves at phase transitions and milestone boundaries.
After each phase transition (via /gsd-transition):
- Requirements invalidated? → Move to Out of Scope with reason
- Requirements validated? → Move to Validated with phase reference
- New requirements emerged? → Add to Active
- Decisions to log? → Add to Key Decisions
- "What This Is" still accurate? → Update if drifted
After each milestone (via /gsd-complete-milestone):
- Full review of all sections
- Core Value check — still the right priority?
- Audit Out of Scope — reasons still valid?
- Update Context with current state
