# Phase 1 Frontend Feature Parity - Implementation Status

**Date:** November 9, 2025  
**Status:** PARTIALLY COMPLETE (30% - 6 of 20 hours completed)

## Overview

Phase 1 addresses critical missing features identified in the comprehensive frontend-backend audit to achieve 100% feature parity between the Django backend and the Supabase schema that the frontend expects.

---

## ✅ COMPLETED WORK (6 hours)

### Task 1: Fixed Park Coordinate Update Bug (2 hours) ✅ COMPLETE

**Problem:** Park location coordinates couldn't be updated via API because the `latitude` and `longitude` parameters were passed to `ParkSubmissionService.update_entity_submission()` but never used.

**Solution Implemented:**
- File: `django/apps/entities/services/park_submission.py`
- Added override method that extracts and handles coordinates
- Coordinates now properly update when moderators bypass the Sacred Pipeline
- Full tracking through ContentSubmission for audit trail

**Files Modified:**
- `django/apps/entities/services/park_submission.py`

---

### Task 2: Implemented Ride Name History Model & API (4 hours) ✅ COMPLETE

class EntityTimelineEvent(models.Model):
    id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4)
    entity_id = models.UUIDField(db_index=True)
    entity_type = models.CharField(max_length=50, db_index=True)
    event_type = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    event_date = models.DateField()
    event_date_precision = models.CharField(max_length=20, null=True)
    title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    description = models.TextField(null=True, blank=True)
    
    # Event details
    from_entity_id = models.UUIDField(null=True, blank=True)
    to_entity_id = models.UUIDField(null=True, blank=True)
    from_location = models.ForeignKey('entities.Location', null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, related_name='+')
    to_location = models.ForeignKey('entities.Location', null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, related_name='+')
    from_value = models.TextField(null=True, blank=True)
    to_value = models.TextField(null=True, blank=True)
    
    # Moderation
    is_public = models.BooleanField(default=True)
    display_order = models.IntegerField(null=True, blank=True)
    
    # Tracking
    created_by = models.ForeignKey('users.User', null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL)
    approved_by = models.ForeignKey('users.User', null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, related_name='+')
    submission = models.ForeignKey('moderation.ContentSubmission', null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL)
    
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
    
    class Meta:
        ordering = ['-event_date', '-created_at']
        indexes = [
            models.Index(fields=['entity_type', 'entity_id', '-event_date']),
            models.Index(fields=['event_type', '-event_date']),
        ]
```

## ⏳ PENDING WORK (14 hours remaining)

### Task 4: Implement Reports System (8 hours) - NOT STARTED

**Frontend Usage:** 7 files actively use reporting: ReportButton.tsx, ReportsQueue.tsx, RecentActivity.tsx, useModerationStats.ts, systemActivityService.ts

**Required Implementation:**

1. **Create reports app** (`django/apps/reports/`)
   - `__init__.py`, `apps.py`, `models.py`, `admin.py`, `services.py`

2. **Create Report model:**
```python
@pghistory.track()
class Report(models.Model):
    STATUS_CHOICES = [
        ('pending', 'Pending'),
        ('reviewing', 'Under Review'),
        ('resolved', 'Resolved'),
        ('dismissed', 'Dismissed'),
    ]
    
    id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4)
    report_type = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    reported_entity_id = models.UUIDField(db_index=True)
    reported_entity_type = models.CharField(max_length=50, db_index=True)
    
    reporter = models.ForeignKey('users.User', on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='reports_filed')
    reason = models.TextField(null=True, blank=True)
    
    status = models.CharField(max_length=20, choices=STATUS_CHOICES, default='pending', db_index=True)
    reviewed_by = models.ForeignKey('users.User', null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, related_name='reports_reviewed')
    reviewed_at = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True)
    
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
```

3. **Create API endpoints:**
   - `POST /api/v1/reports/` - Create report
   - `GET /api/v1/reports/` - List reports (moderators only)
   - `GET /api/v1/reports/{id}/` - Get report detail
   - `PATCH /api/v1/reports/{id}/` - Update status (moderators)
   - `GET /api/v1/reports/stats/` - Statistics (moderators)

4. **Implement permissions:**
   - Users can create reports
   - Only moderators can view/review reports
   - Moderators can update status and add review notes

5. **Add admin interface** with Unfold theme

6. **Update settings.py** to include 'apps.reports'

## 🔧 Key Technical Patterns to Follow

### 1. All Models Must Use `@pghistory.track()`
```python
import pghistory

@pghistory.track()
class MyModel(models.Model):
    # fields here
```

### 2. Use Django Ninja for API Endpoints
```python
from ninja import Router

router = Router(tags=["Timeline"])

@router.get("/{entity_type}/{entity_id}/", response={200: List[TimelineEventOut]})
def get_entity_timeline(request, entity_type: str, entity_id: UUID):
    # implementation
```

### 3. Register in Admin with Unfold Theme
```python
from unfold.admin import ModelAdmin

@admin.register(EntityTimelineEvent)
class EntityTimelineEventAdmin(ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ['event_type', 'entity_type', 'entity_id', 'event_date']
```

### 4. Add Proper Database Indexes
```python
class Meta:
    indexes = [
        models.Index(fields=['entity_type', 'entity_id', '-event_date']),
        models.Index(fields=['status', 'created_at']),
    ]
```

### 5. Use BaseModel or VersionedModel for Timestamps
```python
from apps.core.models import BaseModel

class MyModel(BaseModel):
    # Automatically includes created_at, updated_at
```

## 📊 Progress Summary

**Total Estimated:** 20 hours  
**Completed:** 6 hours (30%)  
**Remaining:** 14 hours (70%)

- Task 1: ✅ Complete (2 hours)
- Task 2: ✅ Complete (4 hours)
- Task 3: 🔄 Started (0 of 6 hours completed)
- Task 4: ⏳ Not started (8 hours)

## 🚀 Recommendations

### Option A: Complete Phase 1 Incrementally
Continue with Task 3 and Task 4 implementation. This is the original plan and provides full feature parity.

**Pros:**
- Complete feature parity with frontend
- All frontend code can function as expected
- No technical debt

**Cons:**
- Requires 14 more hours of development
- More complex to test all at once

### Option B: Deploy What's Complete, Continue Later
Deploy Tasks 1 & 2 now, continue with Tasks 3 & 4 in Phase 2.

**Pros:**
- Immediate value from completed work
- Ride name history (heavily used feature) available now
- Can gather feedback before continuing

**Cons:**
- Frontend timeline features won't work until Task 3 complete
- Frontend reporting features won't work until Task 4 complete
- Requires two deployment cycles

### Option C: Focus on High-Impact Features
Prioritize Task 3 (Timeline Events) which is used in 5 files, defer Task 4 (Reports) which could be implemented as an enhancement.

**Pros:**
- Balances completion time vs. impact
- Timeline is more core to entity tracking
- Reports could be a nice-to-have

**Cons:**
- Still leaves reporting incomplete
- Frontend reporting UI won't function

## 📝 Notes

- All implementations follow the "Sacred Pipeline" pattern for user-submitted data
- Timeline and Reports apps are independent and can be implemented in any order
- Migration `0007_add_ride_name_history` is ready to run
- Timeline app structure is in place, ready for model implementation
