Phase 26 Plan 03: Discovery Landing Page Summary

Discovery landing page replacing personal dashboard — hero search trigger, popular setups feed, recent catalog items, trending categories, with auth-conditional CTA and PublicSetupCard enhanced with item counts and creator names

Performance

• Duration: 2 min
• Started: 2026-04-10T13:00:39Z
• Completed: 2026-04-10T13:02:15Z
• Tasks: 2 executed (+ 1 human-verify checkpoint auto-approved)
• Files modified: 2

Accomplishments

• Rewrote src/client/routes/index.tsx from personal dashboard (DashboardPage) to public discovery landing page (LandingPage)
• Added hero section with "Discover Gear" heading, catalog search bar trigger (opens CatalogSearchOverlay), and conditional "Go to Collection" link for authenticated users
• Built three content feed sections: Popular Setups (PublicSetupCard grid), Recently Added (GlobalItemCard grid), Trending Categories (pill chips)
• Enhanced PublicSetupCard with optional itemCount and creatorName fields — backward compatible with existing users/$userId usage
• Loading skeletons (animate-pulse) for all sections; sections hide when empty

Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. Task 1: Enhance PublicSetupCard with itemCount and creatorName - 0bf1c68 (feat)
2. Task 2: Rewrite index.tsx as discovery landing page - 8aaf435 (feat)
3. Task 3: Visual verification checkpoint - auto-approved (auto-chain active)

Files Created/Modified

• src/client/routes/index.tsx - Completely rewritten as LandingPage with HeroSection, PopularSetupsSection, RecentItemsSection, TrendingCategoriesSection, SectionSkeleton
• src/client/components/PublicSetupCard.tsx - Enhanced with optional itemCount (blue badge) and creatorName (attribution line), cursor-pointer added

Decisions Made

• PublicSetupCard enhancement used optional props to maintain backward compat — existing users/$userId.tsx usage requires no changes
• Search bar is a styled div with onClick/onKeyDown, not a real input — clicking opens CatalogSearchOverlay directly
• Auth check uses !!auth?.user (not auth?.authenticated) per plan anti-pattern guidance

Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

Issues Encountered

None.

User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

Known Stubs

None — all three discovery sections fetch real data from the API endpoints built in plans 26-01 and 26-02. Empty state is handled by hiding sections.

Next Phase Readiness

• Discovery landing page complete — phase 26 fully delivered
• All DISC-01 through DISC-05 requirements satisfied
• PublicSetupCard enhancement available for any future usage needing item counts

Self-Check: PASSED
