Design-mock review (2026-05-23)
Mid-implementation, the in-flight customize page was screenshotted via Playwright and visually diffed against the design package mock at link:_attachments/design/Customize Dashboard.html[Customize Dashboard.html]. Deviations + design-team answers below — all reviewed inline rather than deferred per project convention.
-
Semantic color tokens missing from theme system. HANDOFF.md §3.1 declares
--orchard-success-bg/-text,--orchard-warning-bg/-text,--orchard-error-bg/-text,--orchard-info-bg/-text, plus--orchard-text-bodyand--orchard-border-soft. Theme system shipped without them; customize chrome silently fell back tosurface-raisedviavar(… , fallback)chains. Fixed inline: extendedColorPalette+theme.toml+css_variables()to emit all 23 canonical tokens (design-team confirmed: explicit hex triples in TOML, not algorithmically derived — light + dark pairs are hand-tuned for warmth per palette). -
text-bodynot surfaced as a distinct level. Three text levels per design:text(headings + meaningful cell values),text-body(running prose /<p>),text-muted(labels / captions / framing). Fixed inline: addedtext-bodyto the palette;customize-hero pmigrated fromtext-mutedtotext-body. -
Hero card missing. Mock shows
PERSONAL LAYOUToverline + h2Customize your dashboardtitle + descriptive body, with a right-sideYOU CAN CHANGEaffordances card listing 5 affordances (3 enabled, 2 locked). Fixed inline: hero card with overline, h2, body, and the affordances card with always-visible strikethrough on locked items per design-team direction (the card’s purpose is to communicate the boundary up front, not on hover). -
Cell placeholder showed only the slug. Design team confirmed slug placeholder is acceptable for v1 (live previews would burden the composer with N panel HTTP requests) but the placeholder should be informative. Fixed inline: each cell now renders the slug + a
Rendering as: span N of 12subtitle. Live previews tracked as FU-LIVE-PREVIEW; "Preview as worker" button (opens resolved dashboard in a new tab) as FU-PREVIEW-AS-WORKER. -
Orphan
cy-btn--classes had no CSS rules.* The customize page usedcy-btn cy-btn—primary/cy-btn—outline-primary/cy-btn—outline-secondaryeverywhere but the only matching CSS was a single padding rule under.customize-cell__chrome .cy-btn. Buttons rendered with browser defaults. Fixed inline: switched to the establishedbtn btn-primary/btn btn-ghostconvention that the rest of the worker portal already uses. -
Auto-theme (
data-theme="system") rendered a broken half-state in OS dark mode. Surface tokens flipped to dark via the@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { [data-theme="system"] { … } }block, but my recent dark-chrome overrides (which used[data-theme="dark"] .sidebarselectors) didn’t trigger, leaving the sidebar with light chrome over dark surfaces. Fixed inline: promotednav_bg/nav_muted/nav_muted_dimto first-class palette tokens (percase-detail/shared.jsxprecedent) so they participate in the @media → system block automatically. Removed the[data-theme="dark"]-scoped overrides; chrome now consumesvar(--orchard-nav-bg)etc. and resolves correctly in light / dark / auto-light / auto-dark. -
Dark-theme nav chrome failed WCAG AA contrast. Pre-existing on
main:.nav-itemtext#a8d5c8on--orchard-primary#3a9080clears 2.37:1. Fixed inline: darknavBgset to#0e1612(matchessurface-sunken); darknavMuted#7faa9aclears ~7.5:1. Light theme untouched — its#a8d5c8text on#1e5146already cleared AA.
Epic: &51 (#460)
Issue: #498
Branch: feat/worker-portal-redesign-stage5-customize-my-dashboard
ADR: ADR-024: User-layer semantic delta schema for dashboard composition (amends ADR-022)
Design source: customize.jsx + worker portal design reference
Context
Stage 5 MR1 (#495) and MR2 (#496, merged as fbc5e29) shipped composition-driven dashboard surfaces for worker / supervisor / analyst.
MR2.1 (!357, merged as a24856f) fixed the grid CSS.
Stage 3 MR2 (#491) exposed GET / PUT / PATCH /v1/composition/{surface}/user/me.
MR3 lands the customize UI — the screen complement to the user-delta APIs.
Per design package + HANDOFF.md, the worker drives the layout (hide / reorder / resize) and the BFF persists the result.
The user_delta_v1 semantic schema deviates from ADR-022’s RFC 6902 ops for dashboard surfaces only.
ADR-024 ratifies the scope and the surface-aware shape detection at loader boundaries.
Scope
In scope:
-
GET /dashboard/customizeroute + Askama template -
Alpine
dashboardCustomizercomponent (CSP-safe bare method refs) -
HTML5 native drag-and-drop + keyboard pickup (Space-then-arrow)
-
DELETE /v1/composition/{surface}/user/mehandler + route -
user_delta_v1semantic schema (hidden_slugs/span_overrides/slug_order) for dashboard surfaces -
Loader post-role-filter branch (shape-detect: user_delta_v1 → semantic apply, else RFC 6902 fallback)
-
Playwright
customize+customize-darkprojects + 12 specs + axe critical + serious AA -
ADR-024 amending ADR-022
Out of scope:
-
Pin / unpin — FU-50
-
Required-panel baseline plumbing — FU-51 (this MR ships CSS-ready badge only)
-
Touch-event DnD on mobile / tablet — FU-55
-
CSRF token rotation on login — FU-56
-
Stale-user-row cleanup on role switch — FU-57
-
Global csrf meta tag + htmx listener — FU-58
-
Localized panel titles via Fluent (resolves
display_name_key) — FU-59 -
Row reordering across baseline row boundaries — single-axis reorder only (out of MR3)
Acceptance criteria (#498)
-
Template at
services/canopy-web/templates/dashboard/customize.html. -
Worker can: reorder panels (DnD + keyboard pickup), hide / show, resize within
allowed_spans. -
Worker cannot: add panels not in their role’s baseline. Required-panel removal lockout deferred to FU-51 (this MR ships CSS-ready badge only).
-
Save persists via
PUT /v1/composition/{surface}/user/mewithuser_delta_v1body for dashboard surfaces. Other surfaces continue using RFC 6902. -
Reset reverts via
DELETE /v1/composition/{surface}/user/me. NEW endpoint. -
Composition loader picks up delta on next dashboard render via the new post-role-filter branch.
-
Audit emitted on PUT (already wired) + DELETE (new). Validation failures + no-op DELETEs emit NO audit (tests assert).
-
Playwright E2E: 12 specs covering hide, drag, keyboard, resize, reset, cancel, 412, 428, network, required-placeholder, axe (light + dark).
-
axe-core WCAG 2.1 AA: 0 critical + 0 serious violations.
-
CHANGELOG entry under
=== Added. -
ADR-024 amending ADR-022.

Design
D1 — URL + handler shape
GET /dashboard/customize — render customize.html.
New handler get_customize in services/canopy-web/src/api/customize.rs.
Signature mirrors get_dashboard exactly (dashboard.rs:96-104):
pub async fn get_customize(
AuthenticatedWorker(session): AuthenticatedWorker,
Extension(comp): Extension<Arc<CompositionState>>,
Extension(theme): Extension<Arc<ThemeConfig>>,
Extension(db): Extension<DbPool>, // matches dashboard.rs:101 — NOT State<PgPool>
Extension(web_config): Extension<Arc<WebConfig>>, // for jurisdiction lookup
) -> Result<Html<String>, StatusCode> { ... }
The side-channel user-row fetch uses db.inner() (per dashboard.rs:139 pattern) to get the &PgPool.
Resolves surface via surface_for_role(&session.role). Renders panel slots as placeholders (no upstream data fetch).
No tower_sessions::Session parameter — CSRF plumbing dropped from MR3 scope and routed to FU-58.
D2 — DELETE /v1/composition/{surface}/user/me
New handler delete_user_me + delete_user_me_inner in services/canopy-web/src/api/composition.rs.
Mirror delete_live (composition.rs:402-462):
-
Body: none. Auth:
JsonAuthenticatedWorker. -
Read
before_etagviaSELECT id, updated_at FROM composition_documents WHERE … FOR UPDATEinside a transaction so DELETE + audit emit are atomic. -
Call
canopy_composition::delete_document(&mut tx, jurisdiction, "user", scope_key, surface). -
On
WriteError::NotFound: explicitly return 204 + skip audit (idempotent). Asserted via test. -
On success: build
EventEnvelope::new("canopy-web", "composition.user.delete", json!({…}))per D10; emitstate.publisher.publish_tx(&mut tx, &envelope).await?BEFORE commit. -
After commit:
state.composition_cache.invalidate_user(&juris, &UserId::from(parse_worker_uuid(&session.worker_id)?)). -
Response: 204 No Content.
-
Route: modify the existing chained route at
composition.rs:991:
// BEFORE
.route(
"/v1/composition/{surface}/user/me",
get(get_user_me).put(put_user_me).patch(patch_user_me),
)
// AFTER
.route(
"/v1/composition/{surface}/user/me",
get(get_user_me).put(put_user_me).patch(patch_user_me).delete(delete_user_me),
)
D3 — Semantic user-delta schema (user_delta_v1) — dashboard surfaces only
New crates/canopy-composition/src/user_delta.rs:
#[derive(Deserialize, Serialize, Debug, Clone)]
#[serde(tag = "type")]
pub enum UserDelta {
#[serde(rename = "user_delta_v1")]
V1 {
hidden_slugs: Vec<String>,
span_overrides: std::collections::HashMap<String, u8>,
slug_order: Vec<String>,
},
}
Field semantics:
-
hidden_slugs— opaque list; loader drops items where slug ∈ list. Unknown slugs silent-drop. -
span_overrides— slug → span. Loader setsitem.span = overridewhere slug matches. Validation rejects out-of-allowed_spansat write. -
slug_order— explicit ordering. Loader sorts items by position; items NOT inslug_orderkeep baseline order at the end (forward-compat). Row indices preserved from baseline.
Surface scope: this schema applies ONLY to user-layer rows where surface is worker_dashboard | supervisor_dashboard | analyst_dashboard.
case_detail + sign_in user rows continue using RFC 6902 (existing composition-api.spec.ts untouched).
PATCH semantics for dashboard surfaces: not supported.
PATCH /user/me with a dashboard surface returns 415 Unsupported Media Type with body {"error":"PATCH not supported for dashboard surfaces; use PUT with user_delta_v1 body"}.
Non-dashboard surfaces' PATCH stays RFC 6902.
Wire format: PUT body for dashboard surfaces is the JSON object above.
GET returns {patch_ops: <stored body>, etag, updated_at} where patch_ops is the user_delta_v1 object for dashboard surfaces, RFC 6902 ops for others.
OpenAPI schema becomes oneOf for the body type — registered in services/canopy-web/src/openapi.rs.
D4 — Draft state: Alpine.js component (CSP-safe init)
CSP-compatible init pattern (no x-data args):
<script type="application/json" id="customize-init">
{
"worker_id": "...",
"surface_slug": "worker_dashboard",
"baseline_items": [{"slug":"...","span":12,"row":0}, ...],
"allowed_spans_by_slug": {"worker-dashboard-my-queue-panel":[3,4,6,12], ...},
"panel_titles": {"worker-dashboard-my-queue-panel": "My queue", ...},
"required_panels": [],
"current_delta": null,
"etag": ""
}
</script>
<div x-data="dashboardCustomizer">...</div>
surface_slug is snake_case.
panel_titles is slug-keyed; in v1 every entry’s value is the slug itself (per ADR-024 + FU-59 deferral — display_name_key is a Fluent catalog key, not a localized string).
Alpine.data('dashboardCustomizer', () ⇒ ({…})) exposes:
-
Reactive state:
items,hidden,pickedUp,saveError. -
Derived getters:
pendingCount,hiddenCount,reorderCount. -
Methods (bare refs only, Alpine CSP build):
hide,show,resize,dragStart,dragOver,dragLeave,drop,cellKeydown,save,reset,cancel. -
Slug + idx are read from
data-*attrs onevent.currentTarget(not from method args — CSP build constraint). -
cellKeydownfirst-line guard:if (ev.target !== ev.currentTarget) return;— ignore bubbled keydown from child buttons. -
sessionStorage scoping per-worker + per-surface: key is
customize-draft:{worker_id}:{surface_slug}. -
On
init(), restore session draft only if bothworker_idANDsurfacematch ANDetagmatches the current value.
save() happy path:
-
Validate
items.length > 0(elsesaveErrorbanner: "Keep at least one panel visible."). -
Build body
{type:'user_delta_v1', hidden_slugs, span_overrides:_computeSpanOverrides(), slug_order:items.map(i⇒i.slug)}. -
Headers:
Content-Type: application/json;If-Match: <etag>if etag known elseIf-None-Match: *. -
fetch(PUT /v1/composition/{surface_slug}/user/me, …). -
On 2xx: clear sessionStorage; navigate to
/?focus=h1. -
On 412: persist draft + banner "Your layout changed in another tab — reload to keep editing."
-
On 422: parse JSON
{error}+ banner "Invalid layout: …" -
On network error: persist draft + banner.
reset() calls DELETE; treats 2xx + 404 as success; clears sessionStorage; navigates to /?focus=h1.
cancel() clears sessionStorage + navigates to /?focus=h1.
D5 — (CSRF section dropped)
This MR does NOT add the CSRF meta tag or the global htmx listener.
Customize save / reset are bypass-mode fetch() against /v1/composition (SameSite=Strict defends).
Filed FU-58 feat: global csrf meta tag + htmx listener for future htmx writes.
D6 — DnD + keyboard pickup
Chrome buttons per cell:
-
[✕ Hide]—aria-label="Hide '{slug}' panel".disabledHTML attr +aria-disabled="true"when slug ∈required_panels. Handler also guards:if (this.requiredPanels.includes(slug)) return;(belt-and-suspenders). -
[⋮⋮ Drag]—aria-label="Drag '{slug}' to reorder",cursor: grab. -
Span control:
<div role="group" aria-label="Span">containing<button aria-pressed="…" data-target-span="N">N</button>per N inallowedSpansBySlug[slug](dynamic per allowed_spans, NOT hardcoded Half/Full).
Mouse DnD: HTML5 native. Cell carries draggable="true" + handlers. if (src === dst) return; no-op for drag-onto-self. Visual states: .is-dragging (opacity 0.4); .is-drop-target (2px gold border-top).
Keyboard pickup: Space-then-arrow on the cell.
Space → toggle pickup; ArrowUp / ArrowDown → swap with neighbor; Home / End → move to first / last; Escape → return to original; Space → drop.
Announce each transition via <div id="dnd-announcer" aria-live="polite" class="sr-only">.
<div id="kb-hint" class="sr-only">Keyboard: Space to pick up, arrows to move, Space to drop, Escape to cancel.</div> is referenced by aria-describedby="kb-hint" on each cell.
Focus management:
-
After Hide: focus moves to ↩ Restore button on the placeholder.
-
After Save / Reset / Cancel: navigate to
/?focus=h1. Dashboardh1.page-titleneedstabindex="-1"; init JS on/reads URLSearchParams, calls.focus()on the page-title. -
H1 lives in
base.html, NOT dashboard sub-templates. Addtabindex="-1"to the.page-title h1atbase.html:63(sidebar layout) ANDbase.html:118(topbar layout). Two single-line additions, one file.
D7 — Hidden-panel placeholder + Hide / Show
<div class="worker-dashboard-cell customize-cell--hidden" data-panel-slug="{{ slug }}">
{% call o::overline() %}Hidden · <code class="cy-mono">{{ slug }}</code>{% endcall %}
<button type="button"
class="cy-btn cy-btn--outline-primary"
data-panel-slug="{{ slug }}"
@click="show">↩ Restore</button>
</div>
Save button shows the saveError banner if items.length === 0 (UI does not strictly prevent the final-hide click; Save guards instead). Reset is always allowed.
D8 — Page chrome
customize.html defines BOTH blocks (matches worker.html at templates/dashboard/worker.html:22-23):
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block content %}
... topbar + hero + grid + actionbar + save-error banner + script init JSON + dnd-announcer + kb-hint ...
{% endblock %}
{% block topbar_content %}
... topbar + hero + grid + actionbar (mirrored) ...
{% endblock %}
Hero subtitle copy:
"Hide panels you don’t use. Reorder rows. Your changes only affect your account — they don’t change anything for the rest of {{ branding.agency_short }}'s workers."
(v3’s "Pin the ones you live in" clause removed; FU-50 restores it when pinning ships.)
Save-error banner markup (single line):
<div role="alert" x-show="saveError" x-text="saveError" class="customize-banner"></div>
(.customize-banner CSS uses --orchard-error + .cy-mono treatment — already shipped in step-4.)
Action bar copy + EDIT MODE chip with 6px dot per design package.
D9 — Composition document fetch + ETag
Handler get_customize:
-
Resolve surface via
surface_for_role(&session.role). -
Call
comp.composition_loader.load_composition(juris, role, user_id = None, surface, idp = …)→ role-filtered baseline WITHOUT user delta. Customize page works in baseline-coords + delta as two separate fields so the worker can see hidden panels to restore them. -
Side-channel: factor a private helper
fetch_user_layer_raw(state, juris_id, scope_key, surface) → Option<(Value, DateTime<Utc>)>from the body offetch_and_render(composition.rs:787-819).get_customizecalls this for the user-layer row + ETag — single source of truth for SQL + ETag format.
async fn fetch_user_layer_raw(
state: &CompositionState,
jurisdiction_id: uuid::Uuid,
scope_key: &str,
surface: ComposableSurface,
) -> Result<Option<(serde_json::Value, chrono::DateTime<chrono::Utc>)>, CompositionApiError> {
let row = sqlx::query_as::<_, (serde_json::Value, chrono::DateTime<chrono::Utc>)>(
r#"SELECT patch_ops, updated_at FROM composition_documents
WHERE jurisdiction_id = $1 AND layer = $2 AND scope_key = $3 AND surface = $4"#,
)
.bind(jurisdiction_id)
.bind(CompositionLayer::User)
.bind(scope_key)
.bind(surface)
.fetch_optional(state.db.inner())
.await?;
Ok(row)
}
-
Hardcode
required_panels = vec. -
Compute
allowed_spans_by_slug:
let plugins = comp.composition_loader.plugins();
let mut allowed_spans_by_slug: std::collections::HashMap<String, Vec<u8>> = Default::default();
for item in &baseline.items {
if let Some((_plugin, def)) = plugins.find_panel(&item.item) {
allowed_spans_by_slug.insert(item.item.0.clone(), def.allowed_spans.clone());
}
}
-
Build
CustomizeTemplatewith fields includingbaseline_items_json,allowed_spans_by_slug_json,current_delta_json,required_panels_json,etag,surface_slug(snake_case),worker_id,worker_name,worker_role,worker_role_slug,branding,is_sidebar. Serialize maps to JSON strings in the handler.
PanelDef.display_name_key: String is an i18n catalog key, not a localized title.
v1 customize aria-labels use slug strings directly: aria-label="Move panel ${slug}".
Accept the UX cost; FU-59 restores localized titles via Fluent.
D10 — Audit envelope (DELETE)
delete_user_me_inner builds (matching the PUT pattern byte-for-byte except event_type + action):
let envelope = canopy_mq::EventEnvelope::new(
"canopy-web",
"composition.user.delete",
serde_json::json!({
"jurisdiction": juris.to_string(),
"actor_role": format!("{:?}", session.role),
"actor_user_id": session.worker_id,
"layer": "user",
"target_scope_key": session.worker_id,
"surface": surface_str,
"before_etag": before_etag, // Some when row existed; None branch skips audit emit entirely
"after_etag": serde_json::Value::Null,
"action": "user.delete",
}),
);
state.publisher.publish_tx(&mut tx, &envelope).await?;
Validation failures + no-op deletes emit NO audit. Tests assert via a publisher spy.
D11 — canopy-composition loader extension for user_delta_v1
Apply order (post-role-filter, replacing the user-layer apply from the DB patch loop):
-
defaults
-
baseline merge (RFC 7396)
-
DB
jurisdiction_live+rolelayers — RFC 6902 (loop SKIPS user rows) -
role filter (
loader.rs:230) -
DB user row — NEW: shape-detect, apply
user_delta_v1OR RFC 6902 fallback (legacy) -
inline validation (spans + row sums)
Pseudo-code at the new step 5:
if let Some(user_row) = user_layer_row {
if let Ok(delta) = serde_json::from_value::<UserDelta>(user_row.patch_ops.clone()) {
apply_user_delta(&mut working, &delta)?;
} else {
apply_json_patch_6902(&mut working, &user_row.patch_ops)?;
}
}
crates/canopy-composition/src/user_delta.rs exports:
-
UserDeltaenum per D3. -
apply_user_delta(&mut Value, &UserDelta) → Result<()>— dropshidden_slugs, appliesspan_overrides, sorts byslug_order(preserving baseline row). -
validate_user_delta(delta: &UserDelta, baseline_post_role_filter: &[ComposedItem], role: &RoleSlug, plugins: &dyn PluginSource, surface: ComposableSurface) → Result<(), UserDeltaError>.role: &RoleSlugmatchesrole_filter::filter_items_by_role(… role: &RoleSlug, …)precedent atrole_filter.rs:22-27. canopy-web caller doeslet role = role_slug_for_worker(&session.role); validate_user_delta(…, &role, …).
Validation steps:
-
Schema: body deserializes to
UserDelta::V1. Else 422. -
Baseline membership: every slug ∈ (
hidden_slugs∪span_overrides.keys()∪slug_order) MUST appear inbaseline_post_role_filter.items. Else 422SlugNotInBaseline. -

Dry-run row sums: extract

Returns 422 onRowOverflow{row, total}/SpanOutOfRange{slug, requested, allowed}etc.
Server-side validation flow — body extractor:
put_user_me and patch_user_me currently extract PutPatchOps(Vec<PatchOperation>). For dashboard surfaces this MUST instead extract UserDeltaOrPatchOps — a new extractor that:
pub struct UserDeltaOrPatchOps {
pub kind: BodyKind, // Semantic(UserDelta) | Ops(Vec<PatchOperation>)
}
impl<S> FromRequest<S> for UserDeltaOrPatchOps {
async fn from_request(req: Request, _: &S) -> Result<Self, ...> {
let body = Bytes::from_request(req, _).await?;
if let Ok(delta) = serde_json::from_slice::<UserDelta>(&body) {
return Ok(UserDeltaOrPatchOps { kind: BodyKind::Semantic(delta) });
}
if let Ok(ops) = serde_json::from_slice::<Vec<PatchOperation>>(&body) {
return Ok(UserDeltaOrPatchOps { kind: BodyKind::Ops(ops) });
}
Err(CompositionApiError::InvalidPatch("body is neither user_delta_v1 nor RFC 6902 ops".into()))
}
}
put_user_me handler:
-
Surface parse.
-
Body extracted via
UserDeltaOrPatchOps. -
Surface-aware dispatch:
-
Dashboard surface +
BodyKind::Semantic(delta)→validate_user_delta(…)→ 422 on fail. -
Dashboard surface +
BodyKind::Ops(_)→ accept (legacy back-compat; customize UI never emits this). -
Non-dashboard surface +
BodyKind::Semantic(_)→ 415 (semantic schema not supported here). -
Non-dashboard surface +
BodyKind::Ops(ops)→ existing flow.
-
-
Persist + audit.
patch_user_me returns 415 for dashboard surfaces immediately. Non-dashboard PATCH unchanged.
New error variant: CompositionApiError::ValidationFailed(UserDeltaError) → 422 with structured body. UserDeltaError enum in user_delta.rs (SlugNotInBaseline, RoleNotPermitted, SpanOutOfRange, RowOverflow).
Authorization context: canopy-web’s composition runtime is the permission gate for which panels exist on a worker’s dashboard (required_roles in each Plugin.toml, applied at loader.rs:230). Program services are NOT the auth source for visibility — they trust the service-class token canopy-web fans out with (ADR-019). The customize UI’s "you can only edit panels you can see" rule is enforced at the BFF — step 2 of validate_user_delta is that enforcement (strengthened to require baseline membership, not just role permission).
Steps
Step 1 — Write the ADR
Claimed adr-024-user-layer-semantic-delta-schema.adoc via ls docs/modules/ROOT/pages/adrs/.
Mirror existing ADR structure (e.g., adr-021-composability-runtime-and-plugin-model.adoc).
Add to docs/modules/ROOT/nav.adoc ADRs section.
Step 2 — canopy-composition: user_delta module + loader branch
Modify crates/canopy-composition/src/loader.rs:
-
Restructure DB-layers loop (lines 179-190) to SKIP user-layer rows; remember the
user_layer_row+ body for later. -
After role filter (
loader.rs:230), insert NEW step 5: shape-detect + apply user_delta or RFC 6902 fallback (per D11). -
Extract
validate_resolved_itemsaspub(crate)from the inline validation at lines 255-274.
New crates/canopy-composition/src/user_delta.rs:
-
UserDeltaenum +UserDeltaErrorenum +apply_user_delta+validate_user_delta.
New crates/canopy-composition/tests/user_delta_test.rs:
-
8 unit tests: apply (basic, unknown-slug-silent-drop, baseline-panel-appended-at-end), validate (rejects each error class), serde roundtrip.
Modify crates/canopy-composition/src/lib.rs:
-
pub mod user_delta; -
pub use user_delta::{UserDelta, UserDeltaError, apply_user_delta, validate_user_delta};
Step 2.5 — Vendor design source
mkdir -p docs/modules/ROOT/attachments/design
cp /tmp/canopy-design-extract/dashboard/customize.jsx \
docs/modules/ROOT/attachments/design/customize-jsx.txt
cp /tmp/canopy-design-extract/HANDOFF.md \
docs/modules/ROOT/attachments/design/HANDOFF.md
ADR + this plan reference via _attachments/design/customize-jsx.txt.
Step 3 — Composition API: extractor + delete_user_me + openapi.rs
Modify services/canopy-web/src/api/composition.rs:
-
New extractor
UserDeltaOrPatchOpsper D11. -
put_user_me: change body extraction toUserDeltaOrPatchOps. Surface-aware dispatch input_user_me_inner. -
patch_user_me: keep existing extractor; dashboard surface returns 415 immediately. -
New
delete_user_me+delete_user_me_innerper D2. Mirrordelete_live(composition.rs:402-462) line-by-line. -
Modify the route chain at
composition.rs:991to add.delete(delete_user_me).
Modify services/canopy-web/src/api/composition_errors.rs:
-
Add
ValidationFailed(UserDeltaError)variant; status 422; structured body.
Modify services/canopy-web/src/openapi.rs:
-
Add
delete_user_metopaths()list. -
Add
UserDelta,UserDeltaErrortocomponents()schemas.
Modify services/canopy-web/tests/composition_api_test.rs:
-
delete_user_me_round_trip— PUT user_delta_v1, DELETE → 204, GET → 404. -
delete_user_me_idempotent— DELETE on no-row → 204. -
noop_delete_emits_no_audit— publisher spy. -
validation_failure_emits_no_audit— publisher spy. -
put_user_delta_v1_round_trips_through_loader— integration round-trip. -
patch_user_me_dashboard_returns_415— PATCH worker_dashboard with any body → 415.
Step 4 — CSS for customize chrome + DnD visual states
Modify services/canopy-web/static/css/canopy-web.css:
-
Customize page chrome (topbar, hero, permissions, action bar, chrome buttons, span-control, hidden / required cells).
-
DnD interaction states (
.is-dragging,.is-drop-target,.is-picked-up). -
All via
--orchard-+--sp-+--r-*. -
.page-title:focus-visiblestyle for the focus-after-redirect target.
Step 5 — Alpine dashboardCustomizer + h1 focus listener + base.html h1 tabindex
Append to services/canopy-web/static/js/canopy-web.js:
-
Alpine.data('dashboardCustomizer', factory)per D4 — bare method refs only. -
init()parses<script id="customize-init">. -
DnD + keyboard + sessionStorage (scoped key) + save / reset / cancel persistence.
-
aria-live polite announcer.
-
DOMContentLoaded init listener: if
URLSearchParams(location.search).get('focus') === 'h1', find.page-titleand call.focus().
Modify services/canopy-web/templates/base.html:
-
Add
tabindex="-1"to the.page-title h1atbase.html:63(sidebar layout). -
Add
tabindex="-1"to the.page-title h1atbase.html:118(topbar layout).
Step 6 — Customize handler + templates + api/mod.rs + nav link + browser verify
New services/canopy-web/src/api/customize.rs:
-
pub async fn get_customize(…)per D1 + D9. -
pub struct CustomizeTemplate { … }with#[derive(Template)]and ~13 fields includingpanel_titles_json,baseline_items_json, etc. -
6 unit tests: render empty / full / with hidden / with span override / with stored delta loaded / with stale slugs in stored delta.
New services/canopy-web/templates/dashboard/customize.html:
-
Extends
base.html. Defines BOTH{% block content %}and{% block topbar_content %}. -
Top bar (breadcrumb + EDIT MODE chip with 6px dot), hero card, grid, sticky action bar, save-error banner.
-
<script type="application/json" id="customize-init">{{ init_json|safe }}</script>— server-rendered JSON merging all maps. -
<div id="dnd-announcer" aria-live="polite" class="sr-only">. -
<div id="kb-hint" class="sr-only">Keyboard: Space to pick up, arrows to move, Space to drop, Escape to cancel.</div>.
(Per-cell partial _customize_panel.html was folded inline into customize.html during implementation — the partial split was a v3-era convenience that the implementer elided when both blocks already share the same cell markup.)
Modify services/canopy-web/src/api/mod.rs:
-
Add
mod customize;aftermod composition;. -
Register
.route("/dashboard/customize", get(customize::get_customize))inroutes().
Modify services/canopy-web/templates/base.html nav block:
-
Add nav link
⚙ Customize my dashboardunder Dashboard in BOTH the sidebar and topbar nav (matches the tabindex story — chrome is duplicated across two layouts).
Browser verification (cargo xtask dev refresh, then visit the canopy-web URL from cargo xtask dev status):
-
jane.caseworker / password →
/dashboard/customizerenders 12 panels with edit chrome. -
Hide a panel → Save →
/shows 11 panels. -
Mouse-drag panel → Save →
/shows new order. -
Tab to cell, Space (pickup), Down (move), Space (drop) → Save →
/shows new order. -
Resize span 6 → 4 on the worker my-queue panel (allowed_spans=[3,4,6,12]) → Save →
/shows new span. -
Reset →
/baseline restored. -
Cancel →
/unchanged.
Step 7 — Playwright customize + customize-dark projects + 12 specs
Modify tests/e2e/lib/helpers.ts:
-
dragPanel(page, srcSlug, dstSlug)—locator(srcSelector).dragTo(locator(dstSelector)). -
keyboardPickupMove(page, slug, direction, count)— focus cell, Space, repeat arrow N times, Space. -
expectPanelOrder(page, expectedSlugs).
Modify tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts:
-
New project
customizeafteranalyst, deps:['auth-setup'], storageState:auth/caseworker.json, testMatch:/specs\/dashboard-customize\.spec\.ts/. -
New project
customize-darkwithcolorScheme: 'dark'+ same testMatch. -
Update
caseworkertestMatch regex to excludedashboard-customize.
New tests/e2e/specs/dashboard-customize.spec.ts — 12 tests:
-
customize page renders topbar + hero + grid + action bar.
-
hide panel → save → reload
/→ assert hidden. -
mouse drag panel → save → reload
/→ assert new order. -
keyboard Space + Arrow + Space → save → reload
/→ assert new order. -
resize span 6 → 4 → save → reload
/→ assert span on/. -
reset → DELETE → reload
/→ assert baseline restored. -
cancel → no persistence.
-
412 conflict (two-tab save) → second tab shows in-page banner + Reload button.
-
428 missing-precondition (handcraft PUT without headers) → 428.
-
network-error (route abort on PUT) → banner.
-
axe-core wcag2a + wcag2aa + section508 — filter
['critical', 'serious']. -
required-panel placeholder spec: when
required_panelscontains a slug, the Hide button isdisabledANDaria-disabled(assertion currently relies on the empty vec returning empty; spec is the FU-51 placeholder).
Step 8 — CHANGELOG + docs
-
(FIRST sub-step — done as part of writing this .adoc.) Port plan.md to
docs/modules/ROOT/pages/plans/archive/worker-portal-redesign-stage5-customize-my-dashboard.adoc. -
CHANGELOG.adocunder=== Added: one terse Keep-a-Changelog entry. -
docs/modules/ROOT/pages/api/canopy-web.adoc: documentGET /dashboard/customize+DELETE /v1/composition/{surface}/user/me+user_delta_v1schema (dashboard surfaces only). -
docs/modules/ROOT/pages/plans/worker-portal-redesign.adoc: MR3 row →Done (<DATE>) — !<MR#> merged to main as <merge-commit>. -
docs/modules/ROOT/nav.adoc: add link to this plan adoc + ADR-024. -
.claude/docs/services.md: canopy-web row: +1 route +user_delta_v1schema mention. -
.claude/CLAUDE.md: ADR list (add ADR-024); Feature Status canopy-web row. -

File via glab issue create BEFORE commit (per memory: deferral accountability — file durable + honest).
Step 10 — Pre-commit + push + merge
-
Verify
git config core.hooksPathis.githooks(per memory: hooks path can silently reset). -
cargo xtask validate. -
Pre-commit hook fires Q1-Q8 → spawn fresh Explore subagent against staged diff; emit Q1-Q8 inline; retry with

Q3 (test weakening): None.
-
Q4 (plan deviations): All descopes reflected in §Scope + the FU table.
-
Q5 (services.md / CLAUDE.md / openapi.rs drift): Both .claude files updated in step-8; openapi.rs in step-3.
-
Q6 (TODO / FIXME / stub):
required_panels = vec![]linked to FU-51. No other stubs. -
Q7 (silent error discard): save / reset / cancel handle 412 / 422 / network with explicit banners; no silent discards.
-
Q8 (SPDX headers): All new
.rsstart with// SPDX-License-Identifier: AGPL-3.0-or-later; all new.htmlwith the SPDX comment block; the ADR adoc carries the standard ADR header.
