+# Admin Product Views Column Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Show a real (currently-zero) per-product view count as a toggleable column in Admin Products list, and document the backend gap that keeps it at zero today.
+
+**Architecture:** Add `visits: number` to the `AdminProduct` model, default it to `0` everywhere the mock gateway constructs an `AdminProduct`, add `'visits'` to the existing toggleable-column system (`ALL_PRODUCT_COLUMNS`), render it in the table view using the established `isColumnVisible()` pattern.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Angular signals, existing `LocalStorageService`-backed column-visibility persistence (already built, not touched).
+
+## Global Constraints
+
+- Never fabricate view numbers — the mock gateway has no real tracking source, so `visits` must default to `0`, not a random/seeded number.
+- Table view only — no grid-view or product-detail-page display (out of scope per design doc).
+- Follow the existing `isColumnVisible('stock')`-style pattern exactly — no new column-visibility mechanism.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: `visits` field, column, and backend doc ask
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/app/features/admin/products/models/admin-product.model.ts:81-121` (add field)
+- Modify: `src/app/features/admin/products/services/admin-products-local.gateway.ts:82-94,133-166` (default the field)
+- Modify: `src/app/features/admin/products/facade/admin-products.facade.ts:39` (add to column list)
+- Modify: `src/app/features/admin/products/components/admin-products-list.component.html:96-112` (render column + header)
+- Modify: `src/app/i18n/en.ts:1647,1670`, `src/app/i18n/ru.ts:1642`, `src/app/i18n/hy.ts:1642`, `src/app/i18n/translations.ts:1655` (i18n keys)
+- Modify: `BACKEND-API-REFERENCE.md` (new §12.10 ask)
+- Test: `src/app/features/admin/products/services/admin-products-local.gateway.spec.ts` (new)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Produces: `AdminProduct.visits: number`
+- Produces: `ALL_PRODUCT_COLUMNS` includes `'visits'` (so `AdminProductColumn` union includes `'visits'`)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+Create `src/app/features/admin/products/services/admin-products-local.gateway.spec.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import { TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';
+import { provideHttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
+import { provideHttpClientTesting } from '@angular/common/http/testing';
+import { AdminProductsLocalGateway } from './admin-products-local.gateway';
+
+describe('AdminProductsLocalGateway visits field', () => {
+  let gateway: AdminProductsLocalGateway;
+
+  beforeEach(() => {
+    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
+      providers: [provideHttpClient(), provideHttpClientTesting()],
+    });
+    gateway = TestBed.inject(AdminProductsLocalGateway);
+  });
+
+  it('defaults visits to 0 on every loaded product', (done) => {
+    gateway.loadProducts({ search: '', categoryId: 'all', visibility: 'all', stockStatus: 'all', page: 1, pageSize: 50 }).subscribe(result => {
+      expect(result.items.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);
+      expect(result.items.every(product => product.visits === 0)).toBe(true);
+      done();
+    });
+  });
+
+  it('resets visits to 0 on a duplicated product, even if the source had a nonzero count', (done) => {
+    gateway.loadProducts({ search: '', categoryId: 'all', visibility: 'all', stockStatus: 'all', page: 1, pageSize: 50 }).subscribe(result => {
+      const source = result.items[0];
+      gateway.duplicateProduct(source.id).subscribe(duplicated => {
+        expect(duplicated).not.toBeNull();
+        expect(duplicated!.visits).toBe(0);
+        done();
+      });
+    });
+  });
+});
+```
+
+Note: read `src/app/features/admin/products/models/admin-product.model.ts` for the exact `AdminProductListFilters` shape before writing the test's filter object — if the field names above (`categoryId`, `visibility`, `stockStatus`, `page`, `pageSize`) don't match exactly, use the real ones; don't guess.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `npm run test -- --include='**/admin-products-local.gateway.spec.ts'`
+Expected: FAIL — `Property 'visits' does not exist on type 'AdminProduct'` (TS compile error surfaces as a Karma failure).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add the field to the model**
+
+In `src/app/features/admin/products/models/admin-product.model.ts`, add to the `AdminProduct` interface (next to `quantity: number;`):
+
+```typescript
+  quantity: number;
+  visits: number;
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Default it in the mock gateway**
+
+In `src/app/features/admin/products/services/admin-products-local.gateway.ts`, in `toAdminProduct()` (around line 155, next to the `quantity` line):
+
+```typescript
+      quantity: product.stockStatus === 'out_of_stock' ? 0 : product.stockStatus === 'low_stock' ? 3 : 25,
+      visits: 0,
+```
+
+In `duplicateProduct()` (around line 82-91), add `visits: 0` to the override object so a duplicate never inherits the source's count via the `...source` spread:
+
+```typescript
+    const duplicated: AdminProduct = {
+      ...source,
+      archived: false,
+      id: `${source.id}-copy-${Date.now()}`,
+      sku: `${source.sku}-COPY`,
+      slug: `${source.slug}-copy-${Date.now()}`,
+      name: `${source.name} Copy`,
+      visits: 0,
+      createdAt: new Date().toISOString(),
+      updatedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
+    };
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run test to verify it passes**
+
+Run: `npm run test -- --include='**/admin-products-local.gateway.spec.ts'`
+Expected: PASS (2/2)
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Add the column**
+
+In `src/app/features/admin/products/facade/admin-products.facade.ts:39`, change:
+
+```typescript
+export const ALL_PRODUCT_COLUMNS = ['sku', 'brand', 'price', 'stock', 'visibility', 'updated'] as const;
+```
+
+to:
+
+```typescript
+export const ALL_PRODUCT_COLUMNS = ['sku', 'brand', 'price', 'stock', 'visibility', 'updated', 'visits'] as const;
+```
+
+In `src/app/features/admin/products/components/admin-products-list.component.html`, add a header cell after the `visibility` header (around line 100):
+
+```html
+          @if (isColumnVisible('visibility')) { <th scope="col">{{ 'adminProducts.visibility' | translate }}</th> }
+          @if (isColumnVisible('visits')) { <th scope="col">{{ 'adminProducts.views' | translate }}</th> }
+```
+
+And a matching body cell after the `visibility` cell (around line 126, right after its closing `}`):
+
+```html
+            @if (isColumnVisible('visits')) { <td>{{ product.visits }}</td> }
+```
+
+The column-picker panel (`admin-products-list.component.html:50-59`) needs no template change — it already iterates `allColumns` generically and looks up `adminProducts.column_<name>`, so it auto-picks up `'visits'` once the i18n key exists (Step 7).
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Add i18n keys**
+
+In `src/app/i18n/translations.ts`, in the `adminProducts` interface block, add two lines (next to `stockStatus: string;` and near the other `column_*` entries):
+
+```typescript
+    stockStatus: string;
+    views: string;
+```
+```typescript
+    column_updated: string;
+    column_visits: string;
+```
+
+In `src/app/i18n/en.ts`, `adminProducts` block:
+```typescript
+    stockStatus: 'Stock status',
+    views: 'Views',
+```
+```typescript
+    column_updated: 'Last updated',
+    column_visits: 'Views',
+```
+
+In `src/app/i18n/ru.ts`, `adminProducts` block (next to its `stockStatus:` line and its `column_updated:` line — read the file first to find them, they're at different line numbers than en.ts):
+```typescript
+    views: 'Просмотры',
+```
+```typescript
+    column_visits: 'Просмотры',
+```
+
+In `src/app/i18n/hy.ts`, `adminProducts` block:
+```typescript
+    views: 'Դիտումներ',
+```
+```typescript
+    column_visits: 'Դիտումներ',
+```
+
+(For ru.ts/hy.ts: read the file first, find the exact existing `stockStatus:`/`column_updated:` lines in the `adminProducts` block — there may be more than one `column_updated:` in the file for a different admin domain, only edit the one inside `adminProducts`, at the location already found: `ru.ts:1642` area, `hy.ts:1642` area.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Run full verification**
+
+Run: `npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json`
+Expected: no errors.
+
+Run: `npx ng build --configuration development`
+Expected: build succeeds.
+
+Run: `npm run test -- --include='**/admin-products-local.gateway.spec.ts'`
+Expected: PASS (2/2).
+
+- [ ] **Step 9: Document the backend gap**
+
+In `BACKEND-API-REFERENCE.md`, after the existing §12.8 section (search for `### 12.8 Admin purchase notifications depend on Orders CRUD being real` — it currently ends right before `### 12.9 Trending search terms`), insert a new section, and renumber `12.9` to `12.10`:
+
+```markdown
+### 12.9 Admin product view counts
+
+**Gap:** Admin Products (§8) runs on a fully separate mock domain from the storefront's live catalog — `AdminProduct.visits` is a new field added to support a "Views" column in Admin Products, but the mock gateway always defaults it to `0` because there is no real tracking source available to the admin domain today. This is unrelated to the storefront's `Item.visits` field (§6, `/items/{id}`), which is live-wired but never displayed anywhere in the UI.
+
+**Ask:** two options, not mutually exclusive:
+1. Once admin Products gets a real backend (§10 step 4), include a per-product view/visit count in the response.
+2. Bridge `AdminProduct.visits` to the storefront's already-live `Item.visits` by product id, if a unified product identity exists between the storefront and admin domains — smaller change than building new tracking infrastructure.
+
+### 12.10 Trending search terms
+```
+
+(The existing body text of the old `### 12.9 Trending search terms` section stays exactly as-is below the renumbered heading — only the heading number changes, from `12.9` to `12.10`.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 10: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/app/features/admin/products/models/admin-product.model.ts src/app/features/admin/products/services/admin-products-local.gateway.ts src/app/features/admin/products/services/admin-products-local.gateway.spec.ts src/app/features/admin/products/facade/admin-products.facade.ts src/app/features/admin/products/components/admin-products-list.component.html src/app/i18n/en.ts src/app/i18n/ru.ts src/app/i18n/hy.ts src/app/i18n/translations.ts BACKEND-API-REFERENCE.md
+git commit -m "feat: admin product views column (always 0 until backend tracks it)"
