Phase 18 Plan 02: Global Items Service and Routes Summary

Global item catalog backend with LIKE search, owner count aggregation, item linking, idempotent seeding, and full test coverage

Performance

• Duration: 4 min
• Started: 2026-04-05T11:03:16Z
• Completed: 2026-04-05T11:07:46Z
• Tasks: 2
• Files created: 5
• Files modified: 6

Accomplishments

• Built global-item.service.ts with 4 service functions following existing DI pattern
• Implemented case-insensitive search with wildcard escaping (%, _) for safe user input
• Added owner count aggregation via junction table count query
• Created public GET routes for global item catalog (search + detail)
• Added authenticated POST/DELETE link/unlink endpoints on item routes
• Wrote idempotent seed script that imports 18-item bikepacking catalog on startup
• Full TDD: 12 service tests + 10 route tests, all passing
• Full suite: 278 tests, 0 failures

Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. Task 1: Global item service + seed script + tests (TDD)
   • RED: 3a6876f - Failing tests for service and seed
   • GREEN: 60dd9f4 - Implementation passing all tests
2. Task 2: Global item routes + link/unlink + route tests - d97d5d9

Files Created/Modified

• src/server/services/global-item.service.ts - searchGlobalItems, getGlobalItemWithOwnerCount, linkItemToGlobal, unlinkItemFromGlobal
• src/server/routes/global-items.ts - GET / (search), GET /:id (detail with ownerCount)
• src/db/seed-global-items.ts - Idempotent seed function importing from JSON
• src/db/seed.ts - Added seedGlobalItems call to seedDefaults
• src/server/routes/items.ts - Added POST /:id/link and DELETE /:id/link
• src/server/index.ts - Registered /api/global-items route
• src/db/schema.ts - Added globalItems and itemGlobalLinks SQLite tables
• src/shared/schemas.ts - Added searchGlobalItemsSchema and linkItemSchema
• src/shared/types.ts - Added GlobalItem, ItemGlobalLink, SearchGlobalItems, LinkItem types
• src/db/global-items-seed.json - 18 bikepacking gear items across 7 categories
• tests/services/global-item.service.test.ts - 12 service tests
• tests/routes/global-items.test.ts - 10 route tests

Decisions Made

• Used SQLite LIKE instead of Postgres ILIKE since the codebase is still on SQLite; SQLite LIKE is already case-insensitive for ASCII characters
• Auth middleware already has a global GET skip rule, so no additional middleware change was needed for public global item access
• Link/unlink endpoints placed on /api/items/:id/link (item-centric) rather than on global-items routes

Deviations from Plan

Auto-fixed Issues

1. [Rule 3 - Blocking] Applied 18-01 schema prerequisites to SQLite codebase

• Found during: Pre-task setup
• Issue: Plan 18-01 was executed by a parallel agent on a Postgres-migrated schema, but this worktree is still on SQLite
• Fix: Added globalItems/itemGlobalLinks as sqliteTable definitions, Zod schemas, types, seed JSON, and migration directly in this branch
• Files modified: src/db/schema.ts, src/shared/schemas.ts, src/shared/types.ts, src/db/global-items-seed.json, drizzle migration

2. [Rule 1 - Bug] Used LIKE instead of ILIKE for SQLite compatibility

• Found during: Task 1
• Issue: Plan specified ilike (Postgres-only), but codebase uses SQLite where LIKE is already case-insensitive for ASCII
• Fix: Used drizzle-orm like operator which maps to SQLite LIKE
• Files modified: src/server/services/global-item.service.ts

Known Stubs

None - all endpoints return real data from the database.

Next Phase Readiness

• Global item catalog fully queryable via API
• Link/unlink API ready for client integration in Plan 18-03
• Seed data available for development and testing
