# Requirements: GearBox v2.4

**Defined:** 2026-04-19
**Milestone:** v2.4 Admin Foundation
**Core Value:** Help people make better gear decisions — discover what others use, compare real-world data, and see how a potential buy affects your setup before committing.

## v2.4 Requirements

### Bug Fixes

- [x] **FIX-01**: User clicking "Add Candidate" on a thread page opens the add-candidate modal (not the wrong modal)
- [x] **FIX-02**: Item images display correctly on collection overview cards (no broken/missing images)
- [x] **FIX-03**: Catalog and collection images load without noticeable delay (slow image loading resolved)
- [x] **FIX-04**: Clicking the sign-in button on an auth prompt redirects the user directly to the Logto login page
- [x] **FIX-05**: All clickable and interactive elements show a pointer cursor on hover throughout the app

### Admin Role

- [ ] **ROLE-01**: The users table has an isAdmin boolean flag that identifies admin users
- [ ] **ROLE-02**: Admin can set another user's isAdmin flag via a server-side mechanism (CLI or seed, not public UI)

### Admin Panel — Global Items

- [ ] **ADMN-01**: Admin user can navigate to an /admin route that is inaccessible to non-admin users
- [ ] **ADMN-02**: Admin can browse all global catalog items with search and tag filtering
- [ ] **ADMN-03**: Admin can edit a global catalog item's details (name, brand, model, weight, price, tags, image, attribution fields)
- [ ] **ADMN-04**: Admin can delete a global catalog item from the catalog (with confirmation)

### Admin Panel — Tag Management

- [ ] **ADMN-05**: Admin can browse all tags with item counts and parent/child relationships displayed
- [ ] **ADMN-06**: Admin can create a new tag with a name
- [ ] **ADMN-07**: Admin can rename an existing tag
- [ ] **ADMN-08**: Admin can assign a parent tag to a tag (enabling sub-tag hierarchy, e.g. "down" under "sleeping-bag")
- [ ] **ADMN-09**: Admin can remove a tag's parent assignment (making it a top-level tag again)
- [ ] **ADMN-10**: Admin can delete a tag, with a warning if items are currently using it

## Future Requirements (v2.5+)

### Catalog Spec System

- **SPEC-01**: Tags can have typed spec field definitions (key, label, unit, type: number/text/image)
- **SPEC-02**: Sub-tags inherit the spec schema of their parent tag
- **SPEC-03**: Admin can create, edit, and delete spec field definitions for a tag via the admin panel
- **SPEC-04**: Global catalog items can have spec values filled in for their tag's spec schema
- **SPEC-05**: Catalog item detail page displays spec values in a structured spec sheet section
- **SPEC-06**: Items are filterable/comparable by numeric spec values (e.g. R-value, comfort temp)

### Engagement Stats

- **STAT-01**: Global catalog item detail pages track view counts
- **STAT-02**: Authenticated users can like/save a catalog item (wishlist-style)
- **STAT-03**: Catalog item detail page shows owner count, view count, like count, and public setup appearances
- **STAT-04**: User can view their list of saved/liked catalog items

## Out of Scope

| Feature | Reason |
|---------|--------|
| User management in admin panel | Not needed until user base grows; Logto handles account lifecycle |
| Moderation queue / content flagging | Deferred — requires freeform UGC first |
| Sub-items / component attachment to items | High complexity, needs dedicated discussion and milestone |
| Freeform reviews or comments | No moderation infrastructure yet |
| Social login providers | Logto handles this externally |

## Traceability

| FIX-04 | Phase 35 | Complete |
| FIX-05 | Phase 35 | Complete |
| ROLE-01 | Phase 36 | Pending |

| ADMN-01 | Phase 36 | Pending |
