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

• FIX-01: User clicking "Add Candidate" on a thread page opens the add-candidate modal (not the wrong modal)
• FIX-02: Item images display correctly on collection overview cards (no broken/missing images)
• FIX-03: Catalog and collection images load without noticeable delay (slow image loading resolved)
• FIX-04: Clicking the sign-in button on an auth prompt redirects the user directly to the Logto login page
• 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
