# Frontend Roadmap

Status snapshot, refreshed from recent commits only. Full sprint history: `SPRINT-PLAN.md` (removed, see git history). Open bugs: `docs/KNOWN-ISSUES.md`.

## Recently shipped

**RC-Visual-02 — Composition audit** (storefront, builder, backoffice)
Fixed undefined CSS theme vars, hand-rolled skeletons/empty-states migrated to shared `app-skeleton`/`app-empty-state`/`app-button`, missing `<th scope="col">`, dead CSS (~530-line unused cart `.alt` theme). Detail: `UI-COMPOSITION-REVIEW.md` (removed, see git history).

**RC-Premium-01 — Storefront premium UX polish**
Visual/interaction polish on top of the RC-Visual-02 baseline — no redesign, no logic/route changes. Fixed color-only state signaling app-wide (added `aria-pressed`/`aria-current`/`aria-live` + icon/checkmark pairing to selected swatches, active filters/tabs/sort, toggle buttons), normalized remaining hardcoded hex to design tokens, added hover/focus-visible/active/disabled states across interactive controls, capped legal/CMS prose at 70ch, converted FAQ to native `<details>` disclosures. Four commits (Home/Catalog/Search, Product/Compare/Wishlist, Cart/Checkout, Static Pages). Detail: `STORE_FRONT_UX_REVIEW.md` (removed, see git history).

**RC STORE-01 — Storefront cleanup**
Closed 2 of the 5 gaps RC-Premium-01 deliberately deferred: category/search skeleton markup migrated to shared `app-skeleton`, dead cart `.email-form` markup/CSS removed. The other 3 (payment modal, cart confirm() dialog, untokenized colors) need an architecture/design-system decision, correctly left alone again. Detail: `STORE_REVIEW.md` (removed, see git history).

**RC PERF-01 — Performance audit** (production-readiness, app-wide)
Initial bundle **1.47 MB → 1.12 MB raw (−24%)**: biggest win was lazy-loading en/hy i18n packs (346 KB were eagerly loaded regardless of visitor language), plus a dead `items-carousel`/primeng-only component deleted, dead global CSS removed. RxJS/change-detection audit found the codebase already clean (0 leaks, 190/191 components already OnPush). Detail: `PERFORMANCE_REPORT.md` (removed, see git history).

**RC A11Y-01 — WCAG 2.1 AA audit** (storefront, builder, backoffice)
Added the app's first skip link (didn't exist anywhere before), fixed cart's custom payment modals having zero focus-trap, fixed `app-icon`'s "decorative by default" claim never actually being implemented, fixed 2 keyboard-inaccessible drag-and-drop reorder UIs (Builder homepage/footer, Backoffice categories), fixed an undefined `--color-primary` token in Builder, fixed admin sidebar nav announcing itself as "Dashboard" everywhere. Contrast fixes applied where safe; genuine brand-color contrast failures flagged for theme-owner sign-off, not changed unilaterally. Detail: `ACCESSIBILITY_REPORT.md` (removed, see git history).

**Release Candidate — live browser walkthrough** (storefront, builder, backoffice)
Found and fixed **2 P0s**: (1) `language.guard.ts`'s legacy-URL redirect broke query params on every route app-wide (silently dead-ended any bookmarked/shared deep link with query params); (2) Backoffice Categories CRUD was completely broken end-to-end — wrong gateway-resolution fallback always picked the real HTTP gateway instead of the local mock in this environment, so every create/publish silently failed with zero user feedback. Plus 6 P1s (cart description, compare table raw enum values, search empty-state messaging, footer link 404, missing placeholder image, builder save-bar reset-state bug, backoffice mislabeled button). Detail: `RELEASE_REPORT.md` (removed, see git history).

## Sprint status

**Sprint 30 — Final Release**: verify pass re-run 2026-07-23 (tsc --noEmit, `npm run build`, `arch:check:boundaries`, `arch:check:cycles`) — all green, only pre-existing bundle-budget warning. Working tree otherwise clean. Only remaining item: `git push` of 10 local `B2B` commits to `origin/B2B` — awaiting explicit user go-ahead (declined once already this sprint, per safety rules re-ask each time). Full checklist: `SPRINT-PLAN.md` (removed, see git history).

## Known open items (not yet scheduled)

Full detail in `docs/KNOWN-ISSUES.md`. Summary:
- Payment modal / bank-payment iframe on Cart still custom (own focus-trap, multi-step state — note: RC A11Y-01 added a real focus-trap to it, but it's still not `app-dialog` itself) — candidate for `app-dialog` migration.
- Cart's native `confirm()` on clear-cart — no existing confirm-dialog pattern to follow yet.
- Genuine brand-color contrast failures (`--border-color`, `--success/warning/error/info-color` as text) — flagged by RC A11Y-01, need theme-owner sign-off before changing.
- `stars.component` rating glyph color and a few legacy hex literals in `pages/category`/`pages/search` have no exact token match — needs a deliberate token-extension decision.
- Homepage hero-to-categories dead-space gap — traces to mock bootstrap config, not a code defect; needs real-tenant-data reproduction.
- Footer "Contacts" link has no static-page content in mock data — needs a content decision (found during RC walkthrough).
- Builder's static-page body editor is hidden inside a collapsed "Advanced" section, mislabeled "Source HTML (advanced)" — works, but needs a navigation/labeling decision (found during RC walkthrough).
- ~178 missing `adminXxx.*` i18n keys across admin backoffice.
- Theme Mode (dark/system) selector has no runtime CSS effect — real feature project, not a wiring fix.
- `dynamic-renderer/` pipeline exists but is unwired — needs a finish-or-delete decision.
- `primeng`/`primeicons` still in `package.json` despite the only consumer being deleted (RC PERF-01) — `npm uninstall` blocked by an unrelated broken `barry-cache` devDependency (`ETARGET`); fix that first.
- 2 large lazy chunks (`project-editor` 320 kB, `catalog-container` 126 kB) — no mechanical split found, needs a dedicated task.
- **CRITICAL**: `pages/category`, `pages/search`, `pages/item-detail`, `pages/info/**`, `pages/legal/**` (40+ files) are entirely unrouted dead code — `cmsContentRoutes` in `app.routes.ts` is a literal empty array. Several earlier fixes (see git history) were applied to this dead code with zero production effect. See `docs/KNOWN-ISSUES.md` item 13 — needs a wire-it-up-or-delete-it decision. Tracked in `docs/TODO.md`.
- Backend integration: still mostly PLANNED/mock — a "backend ready" sprint was attempted and explicitly deferred (2026-07-24) pending a real API contract (`docs/BACKEND_API.md` is the canonical spec — no live endpoint confirmation beyond what's already CURRENT).

## Not audited / out of scope
