Work log: Scholexis — March 24, 2026

What shipped today

The session continued the hardening and feature work from the previous day. Two themes dominated: completing the password reset flow from end to end, and building the assignment detail page that will serve as the foundation for the AI task breakdown feature.

Password reset — from zero to functional in one day. The entire forgot-password flow was decomposed (#231) into three children and all three were executed sequentially. First, the database infrastructure (#236): a password_reset_tokens table with unique token index, Resend SDK installation, and a lib/email.ts utility for transactional email. Second, the server actions (#237): requestPasswordReset() generates a UUID token with 30-minute expiry, sends the reset email via Resend, and always returns success to prevent email enumeration — rate limited at 3 requests per email per 15 minutes. resetPassword() validates the token (not expired, not used), hashes the new password with bcrypt, and marks the token as consumed. Third, the frontend (#238): the /reset-password/[token] page with new password + confirm form, success state linking to login, and error state linking to “request a new link” for expired tokens. The forgot-password placeholder was wired up to call the real server action. /reset-password was added to the public paths in proxy.ts.

Assignment detail page (#230) was built following the course detail pattern — breadcrumbs, info card with all assignment fields (course, due date, type, status badge, priority badge, energy cost, description, notes), and a tasks section showing associated tasks with inline TaskStatusToggle. A new getTasksByAssignment() server action was added to the tasks actions file. The assignment list page and calendar now link to the detail page instead of the edit form, giving students a natural read-only view of their work.

Code quality fixes included: adding startDate < endDate validation to academic year and term schemas with .refine() and client-side checks (#228), removing unused variables (#229), returning proper ValidationError on unauthorized deletes (#222), extracting duplicate formatDate() into shared module (#220), adding tests for all 4 new Zod schemas (#219), and cleaning up unused CTEs in access grants (#221).

The fifth scout run found remaining strategic gaps (forgot password, assignment detail, AI breakdown) and a few small bugs. All grindable issues were executed; the remaining open issues all require human decisions.

Completed

• #219 — Add tests for 4 new validation schemas (PR #224)
• #220 — Extract duplicate formatDate() into shared lib/format-utils.ts (PR #225)
• #221 — Clean up access grants — remove unused CTEs (PR #226)
• #222 — Return proper error on unauthorized delete (PR #227)
• #228 — Add startDate < endDate validation to academic year and term forms (PR #233)
• #229 — Remove unused variables (PR #234)
• #230 — Build assignment detail (show) page with task list (PR #235)
• #231 — Implement forgot password backend (decomposed into #236-#238)
• #236 — Add password_reset_tokens schema and Resend email service (PR #239)
• #237 — Create requestPasswordReset and resetPassword server actions (PR #240)
• #238 — Build /reset-password/[token] page and connect forgot-password form (PR #241)

Release progress

• Next.js port: 109/113 closed (4 open — all needs-clarification)
• v1.0: 6/6 closed

Carry-over

• #232 (AI task breakdown UI) — needs-clarification, awaiting decisions on API key, model choice, rate limiting, and build strategy
• #223 (tokens page) — needs-clarification, awaiting decision on whether to build PAT management or hide sidebar link
• #64 (production deployment) and #65 (data migration) — needs-clarification, no new human replies

Risks

• Password reset requires RESEND_API_KEY environment variable. Without it, requestPasswordReset() will fail silently (console.error + return success). The API key needs to be provisioned before the flow can be tested end-to-end.
• The Resend “from” address is hardcoded as [email protected] — this domain needs to be verified in Resend before emails will actually send.
• Test count is 103 but all are pure logic tests. The password reset flow, email sending, and all new CRUD features remain untested at the integration level.

Flags and watch-outs

• The autonomous pipeline has now exhausted all actionable work for the third time in this session. All 4 remaining open issues require human input — no more code-only work is possible without product owner decisions.
• The Next.js port milestone is at 96% completion (109/113). The remaining 4 issues are: deployment (#64), migration (#65), tokens (#223), and AI breakdown (#232). All are feature/infrastructure decisions, not code tasks.
• This session has been running continuously since March 22, executing 40+ issues across 5 scout cycles. The codebase went from “dashboard with academic setup” to “fully functional academic task manager with complete auth flow, all CRUD operations, calendar, access grants, and 103 tests.”
