Work log: Scholexis — March 12, 2026

What shipped today

This was a massive execution day for the Next.js port. The session covered two major tracks: shipping the energy check-in system end-to-end, and decomposing the remaining parent feature issues into grindable children.

Energy system complete. The energy check-in CRUD (#113) shipped first — server actions for upsert/delete with one-check-in-per-day constraint, a history page with EnergyDots visualization, and an interactive form with dot selector and range slider. Then the dashboard energy widget (#114) landed, adding inline quick check-in directly on the dashboard with optimistic updates. Users can now check in from the dashboard without navigating away, see their current level, and filter assignments/tasks by energy capacity. The energy filter toggle and server-side filtering were already in place from the dashboard build — the widget was the missing piece. #115 (energy badges and preferences) was closed as already implemented — the EnergyBadge component, dashboard integration, and profile preferences all existed from prior work.

Issue pipeline work. Decomposed three parent issues into grindable children. #59 (AI task breakdown) split into 4 children: schema tables (#118), Python engine handler (#119), breakdown UI (#120), and Realtime subscription (#121). #118 has no dependencies and was prepped to ready-for-dev — it’s the next executable issue. The other parent issues (#56, #57, #58) were decomposed in the prior session. The critical blocker remains #103 (academic year/term CRUD, labeled needs-decompose) which gates the entire CRUD chain: #105 → #107 → #108/#109 → #110/#111/#112.

Completed

• #113 — Build energy check-in CRUD and history page (PR #116)
• #114 — Add energy check-in widget and filtering to dashboard (PR #117)
• #115 — Add energy badges and preferences to settings (closed as already done)
• #59 — Port AI task breakdown to Python engine (decomposed into #118-#121)

Release progress

Next.js port: 36/52 closed (69%). 16 open issues remain — most blocked on the #103 academic structure chain.

Carry-over

• #103 (needs-decompose) — Academic year and term CRUD with week generation. THE critical blocker. Must be decomposed next to unblock #105 → #107 → everything else.
• #118 (ready-for-dev) — Commands and domain events schema tables. Independent, can be exec’d anytime.
• #119, #120, #121 (ready-for-prep) — AI breakdown pipeline children, all blocked on #107 or each other.

Risks

• The #103 → #105 → #107 dependency chain blocks 8 open issues. Until #103 is decomposed and its children executed, most of the remaining milestone work is stuck.

Flags and watch-outs

• Profile preferences save via /api/profile PUT route (not a server action) — inconsistent with the server action pattern used everywhere else. Not blocking but worth noting.
• The energy widget’s upsertCheckIn call catches redirect errors silently — standard pattern but means errors could be swallowed.

Next session

1. /issue decompose 103 --auto — break academic year/term CRUD into grindable children. This unblocks the entire CRUD pipeline.
2. Prep and exec the #103 children — these are the highest-leverage items in the milestone.
3. /issue exec 118 --auto — commands + domain events schema (independent, quick win).
4. Once #103 children land, prep #105 (course CRUD) which unblocks #107 → #108/#109 → #110/#111/#112.
