# Phase 23: Manual Entry Fallback Verification Report

**Phase Goal:** Users can still add items not found in the catalog via manual entry
**Verified:** 2026-04-06T16:30:00Z
**Status:** passed
**Re-verification:** No — initial verification

## Goal Achievement

### Observable Truths

| # | Truth | Status | Evidence |
|---|-------|--------|----------|
| 1 | User can click 'Add Manually' from catalog search empty state to enter manual entry mode | VERIFIED | `EmptyState` at line 783 renders a button with context-sensitive text ("Can't find it? Add manually" / "Add Manually") calling `onAddManually` prop, wired to `handleEnterManualMode` at line 563 |
| 2 | User can click a persistent 'Add Manually' link below search results to enter manual entry mode | VERIFIED | `CatalogSearchOverlay.tsx` lines 549-558: persistent button "Can't find it? Add manually" rendered after results grid/list when `items.length > 0`, calling `handleEnterManualMode` |
| 3 | User sees a compact form with name, category, weight, price, purchase price, notes, product link, and image upload fields | VERIFIED | `ManualEntryForm.tsx` contains all eight fields: name input, `CategoryPicker`, weight/MSRP row, purchase price input, product URL input, notes textarea, `ImageUpload` component |
| 4 | User can submit the form to create a standalone collection item (no globalItemId) | VERIFIED | `ManualEntryForm.tsx` line 53-76: `createItem.mutate({...})` payload explicitly omits `globalItemId`; `createItemSchema` marks it `.optional()`; service inserts `null` when absent |
| 5 | After saving, user sees a success card with 'Submit to Catalog?' button, 'Add Another', and 'Done' | VERIFIED | `CatalogSearchOverlay.tsx` lines 452-500: success card rendered when `manualEntryMode && savedItemName` with all three required elements |
| 6 | 'Submit to Catalog?' button shows a 'Coming soon' toast and takes no backend action | VERIFIED | Line 473-483: `onClick={() => toast("Coming soon — catalog submissions are on the roadmap!")}` with no API call, no loading state, no disabled logic |
| 7 | Back arrow returns from manual form to search results without closing the overlay | VERIFIED | `CatalogSearchOverlay.tsx` lines 160-167: back arrow `onClick` checks `manualEntryMode`; if true, calls `setManualEntryMode(false)` + `setSavedItemName(null)` instead of `closeCatalogSearch` |
| 8 | Search query auto-populates the item name field when entering manual mode | VERIFIED | `CatalogSearchOverlay.tsx` line 503-504: `<ManualEntryForm initialName={searchInput} ...>`; `ManualEntryForm.tsx` line 22: `useState(initialName ?? "")` |

**Score:** 8/8 truths verified

### Required Artifacts

| Artifact | Expected | Status | Details |
|----------|----------|--------|---------|
| `src/client/components/ManualEntryForm.tsx` | Compact manual item entry form | VERIFIED | 245 lines; substantive implementation with all form fields, CategoryPicker, ImageUpload, useCreateItem mutation, ArrowLeft back arrow, cents conversion via `Math.round(Number(...) * 100)` |
| `src/client/components/CatalogSearchOverlay.tsx` | Entry points, mode switching, success card rendering | VERIFIED | Contains `manualEntryMode` state, `savedItemName` state, `handleEnterManualMode`, `handleManualSuccess`, `handleAddAnother`, EmptyState wired with `onAddManually`, persistent below-results link, and inline success card |

---

### Key Link Verification

| From | To | Via | Status | Details |
|------|----|-----|--------|---------|
| `CatalogSearchOverlay.tsx` | `ManualEntryForm.tsx` | conditional render when `manualEntryMode && !savedItemName` | VERIFIED | Lines 501-510: `manualEntryMode ? ( <ManualEntryForm initialName={searchInput} onSuccess={handleManualSuccess} onBack={...} /> )`. gsd-tools regex failed on quote escaping but code is present. |
| `ManualEntryForm.tsx` | `useItems.ts` (`useCreateItem`) | `useCreateItem()` mutation | VERIFIED | Line 4: `import { useCreateItem } from "../hooks/useItems"`, line 20: `const createItem = useCreateItem()`, line 53: `createItem.mutate(...)` |
| `CatalogSearchOverlay.tsx` | sonner toast | Submit to Catalog button | VERIFIED | Line 5: `import { toast } from "sonner"`, lines 473-482: `onClick={() => toast("Coming soon...")}`. gsd-tools regex failed on quote escaping but code is present. |

Note: gsd-tools reported 2 of 3 links as unverified due to regex pattern escaping issues with single quotes. Manual inspection confirms all three links are properly wired.

### Data-Flow Trace (Level 4)

| Artifact | Data Variable | Source | Produces Real Data | Status |
|----------|---------------|--------|--------------------|--------|
| `ManualEntryForm.tsx` | `createItem` mutation result | `POST /api/items` via `useCreateItem` | Yes — `apiPost` calls live server endpoint; service inserts into DB and returns inserted row | FLOWING |
| `CatalogSearchOverlay.tsx` | `savedItemName` | `handleManualSuccess(itemName)` called in `ManualEntryForm.onSuccess` callback with `item.name` from mutation result | Yes — populated from actual DB-persisted item name | FLOWING |

---

### Behavioral Spot-Checks

| Behavior | Command | Result | Status |
|----------|---------|--------|--------|
| `ManualEntryForm` exports expected function | `node -e "console.log('exists')"` after grep | `export function ManualEntryForm(` found at line 14 | PASS |
| `useCreateItem` wired without `globalItemId` in payload | grep payload in mutate call | No `globalItemId` key found in mutate payload (line 53-67) | PASS |
| Lint passes on phase files | `bunx biome check src/client/components/ManualEntryForm.tsx src/client/components/CatalogSearchOverlay.tsx` | "Checked 2 files in 11ms. No fixes applied." | PASS |
| Commits documented in SUMMARY exist in git | `git show --stat 153b6cb && git show --stat f0e1cf4` | Both commits verified with correct author, dates, and content | PASS |

Step 7b note: Server not running; UI behavioral checks (click-through, toast display) deferred to human verification below.

### Requirements Coverage

| Requirement | Source Plan | Description | Status | Evidence |
|-------------|-------------|-------------|--------|----------|
| CATFLOW-07 | 23-01-PLAN.md | Manual entry fallback when item not in catalog | SATISFIED | `ManualEntryForm.tsx` + `CatalogSearchOverlay.tsx` entry points (EmptyState + persistent link) implement the full fallback path |
| CATFLOW-08 | 23-01-PLAN.md | Non-functional "Submit to catalog?" prompt shown after manual save | SATISFIED | Success card at lines 473-483 of `CatalogSearchOverlay.tsx` renders "Submit to Catalog?" button calling `toast("Coming soon...")` with no backend action |

No orphaned requirements found. REQUIREMENTS.md marks both CATFLOW-07 and CATFLOW-08 at Phase 23, Complete, matching the plan frontmatter.

---

### Anti-Patterns Found

| File | Line | Pattern | Severity | Impact |
|------|------|---------|----------|--------|
| `CatalogSearchOverlay.tsx` | 130-133 | `handleAddStub` — `e.stopPropagation()` only, comment says "Stub: actual add-to-collection / add-to-thread wired in Phase 22" | INFO | Pre-existing stub from Phase 20/22 for catalog card "Add" button; not introduced by Phase 23 and not on the critical path for manual entry goal |
| `CatalogSearchOverlay.tsx` | 477 | `toast("Coming soon — catalog submissions...")` | INFO | Intentional stub documented in PLAN (D-10) and SUMMARY known stubs; future Phase 24+ responsibility |

No blockers or warnings found in phase 23 deliverables. The `handleAddStub` is a pre-existing phase 20/22 carryover, not a phase 23 regression. The "Coming soon" toast is explicitly specified behavior per D-10.

### Human Verification Required

#### 1. End-to-end manual entry flow

**Test:** Open the catalog search overlay (FAB or nav). Type a search term that returns no results. Confirm "Can't find it? Add manually" appears in empty state. Click it. Verify the search input row and filters are hidden, the header shows "Manual Entry", and the `ManualEntryForm` is visible with the search term pre-filled in the Name field.

**Expected:** Compact form visible with name pre-populated from search query. All fields (category, weight, MSRP, purchase price, product link, notes, image) present. "Add to Collection" button disabled until name and category are present.

**Why human:** UI rendering and visual layout cannot be asserted from static code analysis.

#### 2. Successful item submission and success card

**Test:** Fill in the manual form (name required, rest optional) and click "Add to Collection". Confirm the item is saved and the success card appears.

**Expected:** Success card shows "Added [item name] to collection" with green checkmark. Three buttons present: "Submit to Catalog?", "Add Another", "Done". The collection item should appear in the user's collection.

**Why human:** Requires live server + DB to confirm the mutation succeeds and the success card renders with the correct item name.

#### 3. "Submit to Catalog?" toast behavior

**Test:** On the success card, click "Submit to Catalog?".

**Expected:** A sonner toast appears with text "Coming soon — catalog submissions are on the roadmap!". No navigation, no loading state, no backend call fires.

**Why human:** Toast rendering is visual and requires browser environment.

#### 4. "Add Another" and "Done" navigation

**Test:** After save, click "Add Another". Confirm it returns to search results (not closes overlay). Then test again and click "Done" — confirm overlay closes.

**Expected:** "Add Another" resets `manualEntryMode` to false and `savedItemName` to null, showing the empty search state. "Done" closes the overlay entirely.

**Why human:** Navigation and state transitions require UI interaction.

#### 5. Persistent "Add Manually" link below search results

**Test:** Search for something that returns results. Scroll to the bottom of the results grid. Confirm "Can't find it? Add manually" link is present below the last result card.

**Expected:** Link is visible and clicking it enters manual entry mode with the current search query pre-populated.

**Why human:** Requires live search results to validate the link renders below non-empty result sets.

#### 6. Back arrow context-sensitivity

**Test:** While in manual entry mode (before saving), click the back arrow in the overlay header.

**Expected:** Returns to search results view, does NOT close the overlay. After save (success card), back arrow should also return to search (not close overlay).

**Why human:** Arrow behavior depends on live state and UI navigation.

---

### Gaps Summary

No gaps found. All 8 observable truths are verified, both artifacts are substantive and wired, all key links confirmed in code (gsd-tools false negatives due to regex escaping). Both requirements CATFLOW-07 and CATFLOW-08 are satisfied. Phase 23 files pass Biome lint cleanly. The only deferred items are intentional stubs (`handleAddStub` from prior phases, "Coming soon" toast by design per D-10).
