**Status:** human_needed
**Re-verification:** No — initial verification

## Goal Achievement

### Observable Truths — Plan 01 (Backend API)

| #  | Truth                                                                                          | Status     | Evidence                                                                                             |
|----|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 1  | POST /api/threads creates a thread and returns it with 201                                     | VERIFIED   | `threads.ts:37-42` — POST "/" returns `c.json(thread, 201)`                                        |
| 2  | GET /api/threads returns active threads with candidate count and price range                   | VERIFIED   | `thread.service.ts:16-45` — correlated subqueries for `candidateCount`, `minPriceCents`, `maxPriceCents`; filters by `status='active'` by default |
| 3  | POST /api/threads/:id/candidates adds a candidate to a thread                                  | VERIFIED   | `threads.ts:81-92` — creates candidate, returns 201                                                 |
| 4  | PUT/DELETE /api/threads/:threadId/candidates/:id updates/removes candidates                    | VERIFIED   | `threads.ts:94-119` — both routes implemented with 404 guards                                       |
| 5  | POST /api/threads/:id/resolve atomically creates a collection item from candidate data and archives the thread | VERIFIED | `thread.service.ts:162-217` — `db.transaction()` creates item in `items` table then sets thread `status='resolved'` |
| 6  | GET /api/threads?includeResolved=true includes archived threads                                | VERIFIED   | `thread.service.ts:41-44` — branches on `includeResolved` flag; `threads.ts:32` parses query param |
| 7  | Resolved thread no longer appears in default active thread list                                | VERIFIED   | `thread.service.ts:41-43` — `.where(eq(threads.status, "active"))` applied when `includeResolved=false` |

### Observable Truths — Plan 02 (Frontend UI)

| #  | Truth                                                                                          | Status     | Evidence                                                                                             |
|----|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 8  | User can switch between My Gear and Planning tabs on the home page                             | VERIFIED   | `index.tsx:13-15,32-34` — `z.enum(["gear","planning"])` search schema; `ThreadTabs` renders tabs; conditionally renders `CollectionView` or `PlanningView` |
| 9  | User can see a list of planning threads as cards with name, candidate count, date, and price range | VERIFIED | `ThreadCard.tsx:63-74` — renders candidateCount chip, date chip, priceRange chip; `index.tsx:236-248` maps threads to ThreadCards |
| 10 | User can create a new thread from the Planning tab                                             | VERIFIED   | `index.tsx:172-210` — form with `onSubmit` calls `createThread.mutate({ name })`; not a stub (contains input, validation, pending state) |
| 11 | User can click a thread card to see its candidates as a card grid                              | VERIFIED   | `ThreadCard.tsx:44-47` — `onClick` navigates to `/threads/$threadId`; `$threadId.tsx:128-144` — grid of `CandidateCard` components |

**Score (automated):** 11/11 truths verified

| `src/server/index.ts`                       | `src/server/routes/threads.ts`                  | app.route mount                         | WIRED    | `index.ts:9,27` — imported and mounted at `/api/threads`                  |
| `src/client/hooks/useThreads.ts`            | `/api/threads`                                  | apiGet/apiPost/apiDelete                | WIRED    | Lines 47, 64, 76, 87, 104 — all hooks call correct API paths             |

Note on `resolveThread` items link: the service imports `items` directly from the schema rather than calling `item.service.ts`. This is architecturally equivalent — the transaction writes to the same `items` table. No gap.

### Requirements Coverage

| Requirement | Source Plan | Description                                                                | Status          | Evidence                                                                |
|-------------|-------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| THRD-01     | 02-01, 02-02 | User can create a planning thread with a name                              | SATISFIED       | `POST /api/threads` (service + route) + `PlanningView` create form      |
| THRD-02     | 02-01, 02-02 | User can add candidate products with weight, price, notes, and product link | SATISFIED       | `POST /api/threads/:id/candidates` + `CandidateForm` + `CandidateCard` |
| THRD-03     | 02-01, 02-02 | User can edit and remove candidates from a thread                          | SATISFIED       | `PUT/DELETE /api/threads/:threadId/candidates/:candidateId` + Edit/Delete on CandidateCard + delete dialog |
| THRD-04     | 02-01, 02-02 | User can resolve a thread by picking a winner, which moves to collection   | SATISFIED       | `POST /api/threads/:id/resolve` (atomic transaction) + `ResolveDialog` in `__root.tsx` + cross-query invalidation |

All four required IDs claimed in both plans and fully covered. No orphaned requirements found for Phase 2.

### Anti-Patterns Found

| File | Line | Pattern | Severity | Impact |
|------|------|---------|----------|--------|
| `thread.service.ts` | 50, 79, 92, 143, 156 | `return null` | Info | All are proper 404 guard early-returns, not stub implementations |

No blocker or warning anti-patterns found. The `return null` instances are intentional not-found guards — the callers in `threads.ts` handle them correctly with 404 responses.

### Human Verification Required

#### 1. Tab Navigation and URL Sync

**Test:** Open http://localhost:5173, click Planning tab, observe URL bar, then click My Gear tab. Refresh on `/?tab=planning` and confirm Planning view loads.
**Expected:** URL updates to `/?tab=planning` on Planning tab; returns to `/?tab=gear` on My Gear; state survives refresh.
**Why human:** TanStack Router search param behaviour and browser history interaction require a live browser.

#### 2. Thread Creation Flow

**Test:** On Planning tab, type a thread name and click Create. Observe the thread list.
**Expected:** New thread card appears immediately with correct name, "0 candidates", and today's date. Input clears.
**Why human:** Mutation optimistic/on-success re-render and card content require visual confirmation.

#### 3. Candidate Slide-Out Panel

**Test:** Navigate to a thread detail page, click Add Candidate. Fill all fields (name, weight, price, category, notes, URL). Submit.
**Expected:** Panel slides in with all fields present; submitting closes the panel and the new candidate appears in the grid.
**Why human:** Panel animation, field completeness, and grid update require visual inspection.

#### 4. Resolved Thread Visibility Toggle

**Test:** Resolve a thread (see test 5), then return to Planning tab. Observe thread list. Check "Show archived threads" checkbox.
**Expected:** Resolved thread is hidden by default; checking toggle reveals it with "Resolved" badge and reduced opacity.
**Why human:** Conditional rendering and checkbox toggle state require browser confirmation.

#### 5. Resolution Flow End-to-End

**Test:** On a thread detail page with multiple candidates, click "Pick Winner" on one candidate. Confirm in the dialog. Switch to My Gear tab.
**Expected:** Confirmation dialog shows candidate name. After confirming: thread disappears from active Planning list; the candidate's data appears as a new item in My Gear without a page refresh.
**Why human:** Cross-tab data freshness via `invalidateQueries`, dialog appearance, and post-resolution navigation require live testing.

### Gaps Summary

No automated gaps found. All 11 observable truths verified, all 15 artifacts exist and are substantive, all 9 key links are wired, and all 4 THRD requirements are satisfied with implementation evidence.

The 5 items above require human browser verification — they cover the UI interaction layer (tab navigation, panel open/close, resolution dialog, and cross-tab data freshness) which cannot be confirmed programmatically. These are standard human-verification items for any UI feature and do not indicate implementation problems.
