Work log: March 19, 2026

What shipped today

A productive day spanning UI polish, auth infrastructure, and dashboard enrichment. The throughput was high — six issues closed across the full stack.

The biggest user-facing change was the dashboard article listings overhaul. The “Top articles this week” section on the dashboard was a bare-bones list showing just titles and scores. It now shows thumbs up/down rating buttons inline (clickable without navigation), the AI’s scoring rationale below each article, and uses the shared ScoreBadge component for consistency with the articles page. This makes the dashboard a place where users can actually triage articles without navigating away.

On the auth side, we created a full set of branded Supabase email templates — confirmation, recovery, magic link, invite, email change, and reauthentication. All use the gold-ribbon design system matching the briefing emails. We also fixed the Supabase redirect URL configuration: replaced wildcard (**) patterns that don’t work in production with explicit callback URLs via supabase config push, and committed the config.toml so auth config is now version-controlled.

Two smaller but important fixes: the workspace switcher’s transient 500 error (race condition with .single() vs .maybeSingle()) and the missing image_style field in the workspace settings form.

Completed

• #1381 — Add image_style field to workspace settings form
• #1382 — Fix temporary 500 error when switching workspaces
• #1383 — Branded Supabase auth email templates
• #1384 — Show thumbs up/down and summaries on dashboard article listings
• #1385 — Fix Supabase callback URLs (wildcards not supported in prod)

Release progress

• v1.5: 21/22 closed (1 open — #743 dashboard redesign, backlog)

Carry-over

• Test briefing on Stacy’s workspace to verify pyramid layout (carried from March 18 — tested on Paul’s account but not Stacy’s)

Risks

• The first supabase config push accidentally overwrote remote auth settings (MFA, email confirmations, OTP config). Caught in the diff output and immediately corrected with a second push. All settings restored. Worth verifying login/signup flows work correctly in production.

Flags and watch-outs

• web/supabase/config.toml is now committed and can be pushed to Supabase via supabase config push --project-ref rydrkxknjghhjwtvcdiz. Be aware that this overwrites ALL remote config — always diff carefully before pushing.
• The .gitignore generated by supabase init in web/supabase/ is currently untracked. Consider committing it.

Next session

• Verify auth flows in production (login, magic link, password reset, Google OAuth) after the config push
• Test briefing on Stacy’s workspace for pyramid layout verification
• Check the /feature request about making search scans look only for recent articles — this was mentioned but not yet addressed
• Run /triage --auto to catch any new issues
• The v1.5 milestone is nearly complete (21/22) — review whether #743 should be closed or moved
