Carousel Dashboard Plan Verification Checklist

Use this checklist to comprehensively audit the Carousel Dashboard Plan in a single pass. Each item includes verification steps to confirm accuracy.


⚠️ CRITICAL DISTINCTION: Type Duplication

Before using this checklist, understand this important guideline:

UNACCEPTABLE: Duplicate Go Types

// WRONG: Creating duplicate types in Go templates package
package templates

type SectionData struct { ... }  // DON'T DO THIS - duplicates handlers.SectionData

ACCEPTABLE: TypeScript Type Recreation (MUST BE COMPLETE)

// OKAY: Recreating types in TypeScript .d.ts files
// Go's pgtype fields cannot auto-convert, so manual recreation is necessary
// CRITICAL: Must include ALL fields from Go handler (no partial types)

interface SectionData {
    id: string;                    // matches Go's json:"id"
    type: string;                  // matches Go's json:"type" ("system" or "user")
    title: string;                 // matches Go's json:"title"
    description: string;           // matches Go's json:"description"
    icon: string;                  // matches Go's json:"icon"
    items: BookInfo[];             // matches Go's json:"items"
    view_all_url: string;          // matches Go's json:"view_all_url"
    priority: number;              // matches Go's json:"priority"
}
// All 8 fields from Go struct included - COMPLETE TYPE MATCHING

UNACCEPTABLE: Partial TypeScript Types

// WRONG: TypeScript interface with only subset of Go fields (breaks type safety)
interface SectionData {
    id: string;
    type: string;
    title: string;
    items: BookInfo[];
    // Missing: description, icon, view_all_url, priority
    // This is a PARTIAL type and violates type safety guidelines
}

Key Points:

  • In Go: Templates MUST use handlers.* types directly (no duplication)
  • In TypeScript: .d.ts files recreate complete handler JSON structure (all fields)
  • Reason: Go's pgtype.Text, pgtype.UUID, etc. don't map cleanly to TypeScript
  • Type Safety: Partial TypeScript types break type safety and can cause runtime errors
  • Verification: Field counts must match (Go struct has N fields = TypeScript has N fields)

This checklist enforces NO Go duplication while requiring complete TypeScript duplication.


1. Prerequisites Verification

1.1 Verify TypeScript Conversion Plan Completed

Before starting Carousel Dashboard:

  • TypeScript Conversion Plan (20-25.5 days) is fully completed
  • All infrastructure modules exist in web/src/:
    • api.ts - Centralized API client with auth
    • toast.ts - Toast notification system
    • events.ts - Event delegation utilities
    • storage.ts - localStorage wrapper
    • dom.ts - DOM utilities (escapeHtml, etc.)
    • types/api.d.ts - Type definitions for all API responses
  • Event delegation pattern established (data attributes)
  • TypeScript compilation pipeline working (npm run build:ts)
  • All inline JavaScript removed from templates
  • Progressive enhancement maintained across all features

Verification Commands:

# Verify TypeScript modules exist
ls -la web/src/{api,toast,events,storage,dom}.ts

# Verify type definitions exist
ls -la web/src/types/api.d.ts

# Verify build works
npm run build:ts

# Check for remaining inline JavaScript
rg '<script>' templates/*.templ | grep -v 'src="/static/'

Common Pitfalls:

  • Starting dashboard implementation before TypeScript conversion completes
  • Missing utility modules that dashboard depends on
  • TypeScript compilation errors blocking dashboard development

1.2 Verify Database Schema Readiness

Before modifying schema:

  • Current schema.sql is backed up
  • Database is in pre-production state (can be recreated)
  • No critical data in database that needs migration
  • Volume deletion is acceptable (podman compose down -v)
  • Team understands data will be lost

Verification:

# Check if database is pre-production
# (no production data, can be safely recreated)

# Backup current schema
cp database/schema/schema.sql database/schema/schema.sql.backup

# Verify schema.sql syntax
psql -f database/schema/schema.sql --dry-run

2. Database Schema Verification

2.1 Verify Schema Changes Are Atomic

For each table/alteration in schema.sql:

  • All changes are in single transaction
  • No partial updates possible (all-or-nothing)
  • Foreign key constraints are correct
  • Indexes are created after tables
  • Default values are appropriate
  • NOT NULL constraints are correct

Verification Commands:

# Check schema.sql syntax
psql -f database/schema/schema.sql --dry-run

# Test schema creation in isolated environment
createdb test_bookhoard
psql test_bookhoard -f database/schema/schema.sql

# Verify tables created
psql test_bookhoard -c "\dt"
psql test_bookhoard -c "\d user_dashboard_preferences"
psql test_bookhoard -c "\d smart_section_types"

# Verify indexes created
psql test_bookhoard -c "\di"

# Cleanup
dropdb test_bookhoard

2.2 Verify New Tables Match Plan

For user_dashboard_preferences:

  • All required columns exist:
    • id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid()
    • user_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
    • library_id UUID REFERENCES libraries(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
    • hidden_collections TEXT[] DEFAULT '{}'
    • collection_order TEXT[] DEFAULT '{}'
    • items_per_section INT DEFAULT 20
    • created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW()
    • updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW()
    • Unique constraint on (user_id, library_id)
    • Index on (user_id, library_id) for fast lookups

For collections table modifications:

  • user_id UUID NULL REFERENCES users(id) added (NULL for system collections)
  • show_on_dashboard BOOLEAN DEFAULT false added
  • query_type TEXT DEFAULT 'filter' added
  • priority INT DEFAULT 100 added
  • is_system_collection BOOLEAN DEFAULT false added
  • Index created on (user_id, show_on_dashboard, priority) WHERE show_on_dashboard = true
  • 4 system collections pre-seeded with user_id = NULL:
    • continue-reading (priority 1, query_type='continue-reading')
    • recently-added (priority 2, query_type='recently-added')
    • recently-read (priority 3, query_type='recently-read')
    • not-started (priority 4, query_type='not-started')

For collections.show_on_dashboard column:

  • Column added with ALTER TABLE collections ADD COLUMN
  • IF NOT EXISTS clause included
  • Default value is false
  • Index created on `(user_id, show_on_dashboard, priority) WHERE show_on_dashboard = true

For collection_items.excluded column:

  • Column added with ALTER TABLE collection_items ADD COLUMN
  • IF NOT EXISTS clause included
  • Default value is false
  • Index created on (collection_id, excluded) WHERE excluded = true
  • Allows users to exclude auto-assigned items from filter-based collections

Verification:

# Check table definitions
psql bookhoard -c "\d user_dashboard_preferences"
psql bookhoard -c "\d collections" | grep -E "show_on_dashboard|query_type|priority|is_system_collection"

# Check system collections exist
psql bookhoard -c "SELECT name, query_type, priority, is_system_collection FROM collections WHERE user_id IS NULL"

2.3 Verify No Migration Files

Critical for pre-production app:

  • Changes are in database/schema/schema.sql (NOT migration files)
  • No migration files in database/migrations/
  • Plan explicitly states to recreate database
  • Volume deletion instructions are clear
  • Warning about data loss is prominent

Check:

# Should return no files or only old/unused migrations
ls -la database/migrations/

# Verify schema.sql has latest changes
rg "user_dashboard_preferences" database/schema/schema.sql
rg "show_on_dashboard" database/schema/schema.sql
rg "smart_section_types" database/schema/schema.sql

3. Service Layer Verification

3.1 Verify Service Follows Guidelines

For internal/services/dashboard_service.go:

  • All business logic in service (not in handlers)
  • Procedural/imperative style (no OOP)
  • No classes or methods
  • Functions accept context as first parameter
  • Uses database.Queries interface (not direct db access)
  • Returns raw data (not formatted for templates/API)
  • Error handling is consistent
  • No HTTP concerns in service

Verification:

# Check for OOP patterns (should find nothing)
rg "class " internal/services/dashboard_service.go
rg "this\.|self\." internal/services/dashboard_service.go

# Verify function signatures
rg "^func \(" internal/services/dashboard_service.go

# Check that service uses database.Queries
rg "db\." internal/services/dashboard_service.go | grep -v "pgtype\."

# Verify no HTTP imports
rg "import.*net/http" internal/services/dashboard_service.go
# Should return nothing

3.2 Verify Service Methods Match Plan

Required methods:

  • NewDashboardService(db *database.Queries) *DashboardService
  • GetSectionItems(ctx, userID, libraryID, limit, sectionOrder, hiddenSections) ([]SectionItems, error)
  • filterHiddenSections(items []SectionItems, hidden []string) []SectionItems
  • reorderSections(items []SectionItems, order []string) []SectionItems
  • getContinueReading(ctx, userID, libraryID, limit) ([]MediaItems, error)
  • getRecentlyAdded(ctx, libraryID, limit) ([]MediaItems, error)
  • getRecentlyRead(ctx, userID, libraryID, limit) ([]MediaItems, error)
  • getNotStarted(ctx, userID, libraryID, limit) ([]MediaItems, error)
  • getCollectionSections(ctx, userID, libraryID, limit) ([]SectionItems, error)
  • GetDashboardPreferences(ctx, userID, libraryID) (UserDashboardPreferences, error)
  • RestoreSystemCollection(ctx, userID, collectionName) error

Verification:

# List all exported functions
rg "^func [A-Z]" internal/services/dashboard_service.go

# Verify return types match plan
rg "GetSectionItems.*\[\]SectionItems" internal/services/dashboard_service.go

3.3 Verify Section Logic Correctness

For each smart section:

  • Continue Reading: Progress > 0 AND progress < 1
  • Recently Added: ORDER BY created_at DESC
  • Recently Read: Progress >= 1 (completed)
  • Not Started: Progress = 0 OR no reading_progress record
  • User Collections: WHERE show_on_dashboard = true AND is_system_collection = false

Check:

# Find SQL queries in service
rg "SELECT.*FROM media_items" internal/services/dashboard_service.go
rg "WHERE.*progress" internal/services/dashboard_service.go

# Verify ordering
rg "ORDER BY" internal/services/dashboard_service.go

3.4 Verify User Preference Logic

Filter hidden collections:

  • Empty hidden list returns all collections
  • Non-empty hidden list filters matching collections
  • Comparison is case-sensitive
  • No errors on empty collection list

Reorder collections:

  • Empty order returns collections as-is
  • Ordered collections come first
  • Unordered collections appended at end
  • No collections are lost
  • No duplicate collections in result

Verification:

# Find preference logic
rg "filterHiddenSections|reorderSections" internal/services/dashboard_service.go -A 20

# Check edge cases
rg "if len.*== 0" internal/services/dashboard_service.go

3.4 Verify Auto-Assign Rule Evaluation

For getCollectionSections method:

  • Fetches collections with show_on_dashboard = true
  • Parses auto_assign_rules JSONB from collection
  • Fetches all library items via GetLibraryItems
  • Evaluates rules for each library item using collectionService.EvaluateRules
  • Merges manual items (not excluded) + auto-matched items
  • Filters out excluded items (where excluded = true)
  • Applies limit after merging
  • Only adds collection if it has items in current library

Excluded items handling:

  • Manual items query returns excluded column from collection_items
  • Filters out items where excluded = true
  • Auto-matched items checked against manual items to avoid duplicates
  • Excluded items not added even if they match rules

Rule evaluation logic:

  • Calls collectionService.EvaluateRules(item, rules)
  • Checks if eval.Matches && eval.Confidence > 0.7
  • Adds matching items to collection
  • Respects priority (higher priority rules evaluated first)

Merge logic:

// Pseudo-code for merge logic
manualItems := getManualItems(collectionID) // with excluded=false filter
autoItems := evaluateAutoAssignRules(libraryItems, rules)
finalItems := merge(manualItems, autoItems)
finalItems = applyLimit(finalItems, limit)

Verification:

# Check getCollectionSections implementation
rg "func.*getCollectionSections" internal/services/dashboard_service.go -A 100

# Verify auto-assign rules parsing
rg "json.Unmarshal.*AutoAssignRules" internal/services/dashboard_service.go

# Verify EvaluateRules usage
rg "collectionService.EvaluateRules" internal/services/dashboard_service.go

# Check GetLibraryItems query
rg "GetLibraryItems" internal/services/dashboard_service.go

# Verify excluded items filtering
rg "Excluded.*Bool" internal/services/dashboard_service.go
rg "!item.Excluded.Valid || !item.Excluded.Bool" internal/services/dashboard_service.go

# Check manual + auto merge logic
rg "manualNonExcluded.*append.*autoItems" internal/services/dashboard_service.go

# Verify limit applied after merge
rg "len.*finalItems.*limit" internal/services/dashboard_service.go

Edge case verification:

  • Collection with no auto-assign rules (manual only)
  • Collection with auto-assign rules but no matches
  • Collection where all manual items are excluded
  • Collection with auto-assign rules + manual additions
  • Collection with excluded items that match rules
  • Large library (performance check)

Integration with CollectionService:

  • DashboardService has collectionService dependency
  • NewDashboardService creates CollectionService instance
  • Reuses existing EvaluateRules from collection_service.go
  • No duplicate rule evaluation logic

4. Database Queries Verification

4.1 Verify Queries Match Schema

For each query in internal/database/queries/queries.sql:

  • Query name follows sqlc naming convention
  • :one, :many, or :exec suffix is correct
  • Parameters use $1, $2, etc. (PostgreSQL syntax)
  • Table names match schema.sql
  • Column names match schema.sql
  • ON CONFLICT clause is correct for upserts
  • RETURNING clause returns all modified columns

Verification:

# Check query syntax
cat internal/database/queries/queries.sql | rg "dashboard"

# Verify queries compile
cd internal/database && sqlc generate

# Check generated code
cat internal/database/dashboard.go  # Should exist after sqlc generate)
rg "GetDashboardPreferences|UpsertDashboardPreferences|UpdateDashboardPreferences" internal/database/queries.sql

4.2 Verify Query Correctness

For GetDashboardPreferences:

  • Selects all columns from user_dashboard_preferences
  • WHERE clause matches on user_id AND library_id
  • Returns single row or error

For UpsertDashboardPreferences:

  • INSERTs on conflict with (user_id, library_id)
  • Updates all preferences columns
  • Updates updated_at to NOW()
  • Returns inserted/updated row

For GetCollectionsForDashboard:

  • Two separate queries for system and user collections
  • System collections: WHERE user_id IS NULL AND show_on_dashboard = true
  • User collections: WHERE user_id = $1 AND show_on_dashboard = true AND is_system_collection = false
  • Both ordered by priority ASC
  • Returns multiple rows

For RestoreSystemCollection:

  • Deletes user-owned copy of system collection
  • WHERE user_id = $1 AND name = $2 AND is_system_collection = true
  • System collection (user_id = NULL) automatically appears after deletion

Verification:

# Test queries in isolation
psql bookhoard <<EOF
-- Test GetDashboardPreferences
SELECT * FROM user_dashboard_preferences WHERE user_id = '$1' AND library_id = '$2';

-- Test GetCollectionsForDashboard
SELECT c.* FROM collections c
WHERE c.user_id = '$1'
  AND c.show_on_dashboard = true
ORDER BY c.created_at DESC;
EOF

4.3 Verify Queries Generated

After running sqlc generate:

  • internal/database/models.go has new structs
  • internal/database/dashboard.go has query functions
  • No compilation errors in generated code
  • All query functions are exported
  • Parameter types are correct (UUID, TEXT[], INT, etc.)

Check:

# Regenerate queries
cd internal/database && sqlc generate

# Check generated files
ls -la internal/database/*.go | grep -E "(models|dashboard|queries)"

# Look for compilation errors
go build ./internal/database/...

5. API Handler Verification

5.1 Verify Handler Follows Guidelines

For internal/handlers/dashboard.go:

  • Uses service layer (no direct database access)
  • Returns JSON responses
  • Uses proper HTTP status codes
  • Error responses are consistent
  • Authentication required (JWT middleware)
  • Input validation is performed
  • No HTML responses (API only)
  • Reusable by SSR, API, mobile

Verification:

# Check for direct database access (should find nothing)
rg "Queries\." internal/handlers/dashboard.go
# Only service calls should exist

# Check HTTP status codes
rg "http\.Status" internal/handlers/dashboard.go

# Check error responses
rg "c\.JSON.*error" internal/handlers/dashboard.go

# Verify authentication
rg "c\.Get\(\"user\"\)" internal/handlers/dashboard.go

5.2 Verify GetSections Endpoint

Request parameters:

  • library_id query parameter (required)
  • limit query parameter (optional, default 20, max 100)
  • User from JWT context
  • User preferences applied (order, hidden sections)

Response format:

  • Returns JSON object with sections array
  • Each section has:
    • id (collection key or name)
    • type ("system" or "user")
    • title
    • icon
    • items (array of books)
    • view_all_url (empty for user collections)
    • priority
    • id (UUID string)
    • title
    • author
    • cover_image_path

Error cases:

  • 400 if library_id missing
  • 400 if library_id invalid UUID
  • 401 if not authenticated
  • 500 if service fails

Verification:

# Check endpoint implementation
rg "func.*GetSections" internal/handlers/dashboard.go -A 50

# Verify response structure
rg "buildJSONSections" internal/handlers/dashboard.go -A 30

# Test with Bruno
cd bruno/dashboard/
# Run: GET /api/dashboard/sections?library_id=...

5.3 Verify Helper Functions

Required helpers:

  • buildJSONSections(items []SectionItems) []map[string]interface{}
  • getSectionType(key string) string
  • getSectionTitle(key string) string
  • getSectionIcon(key string) string
  • getSectionViewAllURL(key string) string

System collections mapping:

  • continue-reading → type: "system", title: "Continue Reading", icon: "📖"
  • recently-added → type: "system", title: "Recently Added", icon: "🆕"
  • recently-read → type: "system", title: "Recently Read", icon: ""
  • not-started → type: "system", title: "Not Started", icon: "📕"

User collections:

  • Non-system collections → type: "user"
  • Title uses collection name
  • Icon uses collection icon
  • view_all_url is empty string

Verification:

# Check helper functions
rg "func (getSectionType|getSectionTitle|getSectionIcon|getSectionViewAllURL)" internal/handlers/dashboard.go -A 10

# Verify mappings
rg "continue-reading|recently-added|recently-read|unread" internal/handlers/dashboard.go

6.4 Verify Config Setup

For internal/router/router.go:

  • DashboardService added to Config struct
  • DashboardHandler added to Config struct
  • Service initialized in main.go
  • Handler initialized in main.go
  • Passed to router via Config

For cmd/server/main.go:

  • cfg.DashboardService = services.NewDashboardService(cfg.Queries)
  • cfg.DashboardHandler = handlers.NewDashboardHandler(cfg.Queries)
  • Both initialized before router setup

Verification:

# Check Config struct
rg "type Config struct" internal/router/router.go -A 20

# Check initialization in main.go
rg "DashboardService|DashboardHandler" cmd/server/main.go

7. Template Types Verification

7.1 Verify No Duplicate Types in Go

CRITICAL GUIDELINE COMPLIANCE (Go side):

  • NO templates.SectionData or templates.BookCardData created in Go
  • Dashboard sections use handler types directly (e.g., handlers.CollectionData, handlers.BookInfo)
  • OR use existing database types (e.g., database.MediaItems)
  • Template-only types are ONLY for UI-specific concerns (e.g., PageData, UnsafeHTML)
  • No parallel type systems in Go

CORRECT (Go):

// Handler type defined once in handlers package
// Reused directly in template
templ Dashboard(sections []handlers.SectionData, books []handlers.BookInfo)

WRONG (Go):

// Handler type defined in handlers
// Duplicate type defined in templates - VIOLATES GUIDELINES
type SectionData struct { ... }  // DON'T DO THIS in Go

When template-specific fields needed:

// ✅ ENHANCE handler type (don't create new type)
type BookInfo struct {
    MediaItemID string
    Title       string
    Author      string
    // Add template-specific fields to handler struct
    Icon        string  // Template enhancement
}

TypeScript Side (.d.ts files) - ACCEPTABLE DUPLICATION:

  • TypeScript type definitions in .d.ts files ARE acceptable
  • Go's pgtype fields cannot auto-convert to TypeScript
  • Manual recreation of types in web/src/types/*.d.ts is necessary
  • TypeScript types must match Go handler JSON responses (snake_case)
  • This is cross-language duplication, not Go duplication

CORRECT (TypeScript):

// web/src/types/dashboard.d.ts
// Acceptable: Recreate types to match Go JSON responses
// Go's pgtype.Text, pgtype.UUID, etc. need manual mapping

interface SectionData {
    id: string;                    // matches Go's json:"id"
    title: string;                 // matches Go's json:"title"
    items: BookCardData[];         // matches Go's json:"items"
}

Verification:

# Check for duplicate Go types (should find none)
rg "type (SectionData|BookCardData) struct" templates/types.go
# Should return nothing - use handler types instead

# Verify handler types exist
rg "type.*Data struct" internal/handlers/*.go

# Check template imports handler package
rg 'import.*handlers' templates/*.templ

# Check template uses handler types
rg 'handlers\.(CollectionData|BookInfo|UserProfile)' templates/*.templ

# TypeScript types (acceptable to exist)
ls -la web/src/types/dashboard.d.ts  # OK - .d.ts file
ls -la web/static/dashboard.d.ts     # Should NOT exist - no JS output

Common Pitfalls:

  • Creating templates.SectionData in Go when handlers.SectionData should be enhanced
  • Creating templates.BookCardData in Go when handlers.BookInfo should be used
  • Adding conversion helper functions (unnecessary - use handler types directly)
  • Parallel type systems in Go (handlers + templates with same data)
  • NOT a pitfall: TypeScript .d.ts files recreating types (necessary due to pgtype)

7.2 Verify Handler Type Tags

All handler struct fields:

  • Have json:"" tags for API responses
  • Use snake_case in JSON tags
  • Matching Go field names are PascalCase
  • No duplicate tags
  • No missing tags
  • Template-specific fields added to handler structs when needed

Check:

# Verify JSON tags in handler types
rg 'json:"' internal/handlers/*.go

# Check for snake_case
rg 'json:"[A-Z]' internal/handlers/*.go
# Should return nothing (no camelCase in JSON tags)

# Verify handler types used in templates
rg 'handlers\.' templates/*.templ

8. Template Implementation Verification

8.1 Verify Dashboard Template

For templates/dashboard.templ:

  • Uses handler types directly (e.g., handlers.SectionData, handlers.BookInfo)
  • OR uses database types (e.g., database.MediaItems)
  • NO templates.SectionData or templates.BookCardData (violates guidelines)
  • SSR data pre-populated (sections, libraries)
  • TailwindCSS classes only (no custom CSS)
  • HTMX for library switching
  • Event delegation (no inline onclick)
  • Data attributes for TypeScript hooks
  • Includes all required scripts:
    • /static/htmx.min.js
    • /static/toast.js
    • /static/api.js
    • /static/events.js
    • /static/dashboard.js

Template structure:

  • Sticky header with library selector
  • Settings button (data-action="open-dashboard-settings")
  • Refresh button (data-action="reload-page")
  • Sections container (#sections-container)
  • HTMX loading indicator

10. Type Definition Verification

10.1 Verify Dashboard Type Definitions

For web/src/types/dashboard.d.ts (.d.ts = no JS output):

  • TypeScript interfaces recreate complete handler JSON structure (acceptable - necessary due to pgtype)
  • SectionData interface matches ALL fields from handlers.SectionData JSON response
  • BookCardData interface matches ALL fields from handlers.BookInfo JSON response
  • NO missing fields - TypeScript must include every field from Go handler
  • NO partial type definitions - if Go struct has 10 fields, TypeScript must have 10 fields
  • Field names use snake_case (matching JSON responses exactly)
  • pgtype fields mapped correctly:
    • pgtype.Textstring | undefined
    • pgtype.UUIDstring
    • pgtype.Timestampstring (ISO datetime)
    • pgtype.Int4number
    • pgtype.Boolboolean
    • pgtype.TextArraystring[]
  • Field order doesn't matter (TypeScript interfaces are unordered)

TypeScript Duplication is ACCEPTABLE:

  • .d.ts files recreate types from Go handlers (necessary)
  • Go's pgtype fields cannot auto-convert to TypeScript
  • Manual type mapping is required and acceptable
  • This is cross-language duplication, not in-Go duplication
  • NOT acceptable: Creating templates.SectionData in Go (violates guidelines)
  • CRITICAL: TypeScript types must match in full the Go handler return types
    • All fields from Go struct included in TypeScript interface
    • No partial type definitions (missing fields)
    • Field names match exactly (snake_case JSON tags)
    • Types match correctly (pgtype mapped to TypeScript types)

Verification:

# Check TypeScript type definitions
cat web/src/types/dashboard.d.ts

# Verify .d.ts extension (no JS output)
ls -la web/src/types/dashboard.d.ts

# Ensure it doesn't compile to JS
npm run build:ts
ls -la web/static/dashboard.d.ts  # Should not exist

# CRITICAL: Verify handler types exist in Go
rg "type.*SectionData|type.*BookData|type.*BookInfo" internal/handlers/*.go

# Check plan references handler types, not Go template types
rg "handlers\." CAROUSEL_DASHBOARD_PLAN.md | rg -i "section|book"

# TypeScript types can mirror handler types (acceptable)
rg "interface.*Data" web/src/types/*.d.ts

# CRITICAL: Verify TypeScript types match Go types IN FULL

# Step 1: Extract Go handler struct with JSON tags
rg "type BookInfo struct" internal/handlers/*.go -A 30 | grep 'json:"'

# Step 2: Extract TypeScript interface
rg "interface BookInfo" web/src/types/dashboard.d.ts -A 30

# Step 3: Manually compare - Go should have same fields as TypeScript
# Example verification:

# Go handler struct (internal/handlers/dashboard.go):
# type SectionData struct {
#     ID          string         `json:"id"`
#     Type        string         `json:"type"`
#     Title       string         `json:"title"`
#     Description pgtype.Text    `json:"description"`
#     Icon        string         `json:"icon"`
#     Items       []BookInfo     `json:"items"`
#     ViewAllURL  string         `json:"view_all_url"`
#     Priority    int            `json:"priority"`
# }
# // 8 fields total

# TypeScript interface (web/src/types/dashboard.d.ts) - MUST HAVE ALL 8 FIELDS:
# interface SectionData {
#     id: string;
#     type: string;             // "system" or "user"
#     title: string;
#     description: string;
#     icon: string;
#     items: BookInfo[];
#     view_all_url: string;
#     priority: number;
# }

# TypeScript interface (web/src/types/dashboard.d.ts) - MUST HAVE ALL 5 FIELDS:
# interface BookInfo {
#     media_item_id: string;              // ✅ matches
#     title: string | undefined;          // ✅ matches
#     author: string | undefined;         // ✅ matches
#     cover_image_path: string | undefined; // ✅ matches
#     created_at: string;                 // ✅ matches
# }

# ❌ WRONG - Missing fields (partial type definition):
# interface BookInfo {
#     media_item_id: string;
#     title: string;
#     author: string;
#     // Missing: cover_image_path, created_at
# }

# Check for missing fields (manual verification required):
# 1. List all Go struct fields with JSON tags
# 2. List all TypeScript interface fields
# 3. Verify 1:1 correspondence (same field names, correct types)

10.2 Verify Type Consistency

Across layers:

  • Database schema → Go structs (models.go)
  • Go structs → Handler types (with template-specific fields added)
  • Handler types → Template usage (direct import, no conversion in Go)
  • Handler JSON responses → TypeScript interfaces (manual recreation in .d.ts)
  • All use snake_case for JSON

Key Pattern:

Database (models.go) → Handler (enhanced) → Template (uses handlers.Type) → TypeScript (.d.ts recreates handlers.Type JSON IN FULL)

CRITICAL REQUIREMENT: TypeScript Types Must Match Go Types IN FULL

  • TypeScript interfaces include ALL fields from Go handler structs
  • No partial type definitions (e.g., Go has 10 fields, TypeScript has 10 fields)
  • Field names match exactly (snake_case from JSON tags)
  • Types map correctly (pgtype → TypeScript types)
  • Missing fields break type safety and can cause runtime errors

Example of Full Type Matching:

// Go handler (internal/handlers/dashboard.go)
type SectionData struct {
    ID          string         `json:"id"`
    Type        string         `json:"type"`
    Title       string         `json:"title"`
    Description pgtype.Text    `json:"description"`
    Icon        string         `json:"icon"`
    Items       []BookInfo     `json:"items"`
    ViewAllURL  string         `json:"view_all_url"`
    Priority    int            `json:"priority"`
}
// 8 fields total
// TypeScript (web/src/types/dashboard.d.ts)
// ✅ CORRECT - All 8 fields present
interface SectionData {
    id: string;
    type: string;
    title: string;
    description: string;
    icon: string;
    items: BookInfo[];
    view_all_url: string;
    priority: number;
}

// ❌ WRONG - Missing fields (partial type, breaks type safety)
interface SectionData {
    id: string;
    type: string;
    title: string;
    items: BookInfo[];
    // Missing: description, icon, view_all_url, priority
}

IMPORTANT DISTINCTIONS:

  • Acceptable: TypeScript .d.ts recreates handlers.SectionData (cross-language)
  • Unacceptable: Go templates.SectionData duplicates handlers.SectionData (in-language)

Verification:

# Compare field names across layers
# Database
rg "show_on_dashboard" database/schema/schema.sql

# Go struct (database)
rg "ShowOnDashboard" internal/database/models.go

# Handler type (enhanced)
rg "ShowOnDashboard|Icon|FormattedDate" internal/handlers/*.go

# Template (uses handler types directly - no Go duplication)
rg 'handlers\.' templates/*.templ

# TypeScript (matches handler JSON - acceptable cross-language duplication)
rg "show_on_dashboard" web/src/types/api.d.ts
rg "show_on_dashboard|icon" web/src/types/dashboard.d.ts

# CRITICAL: Check for duplicate Go types (should find none)
rg "type.*Data struct" templates/types.go | rg -v "PageData|UnsafeHTML"

# TypeScript types are OK (different language)
ls -la web/src/types/*.d.ts  # Should exist

# CRITICAL: Verify TypeScript has same number of fields as Go handler

# Count Go struct fields (example: SectionData)
rg "type SectionData struct" internal/handlers/*.go -A 30 | grep 'json:' | wc -l
# Output: 11 (for example)

# Count TypeScript interface fields
rg "interface SectionData" web/src/types/dashboard.d.ts -A 30 | rg '^\s+[a-z_]+:' | wc -l
# Output: Should also be 11 (matching Go struct)

# If counts don't match, TypeScript is missing fields (CRITICAL ISSUE)

# List all fields for manual comparison
# Go fields:
rg "type SectionData struct" internal/handlers/*.go -A 30 | grep 'json:' | sed 's/.*`json:"//; s/".*//'

# TypeScript fields:
rg "interface SectionData" web/src/types/dashboard.d.ts -A 30 | rg '^\s+[a-z_]+:' | sed 's/.*://; s/:.*//'

12. SSR + TypeScript Hybrid Verification

12.1 Verify SSR Initial Load

Critical paths:

  • Dashboard loads with pre-populated SSR data (sections rendered by server)
  • All sections and books visible in initial HTML (view source to verify)
  • No client-side fetching on initial page load
  • Library selector options rendered server-side
  • Current library pre-selected in HTML

Test procedure:

  1. Open DevTools → Network tab
  2. Navigate to /dashboard?library_id=<id>
  3. Verify in HTML response:
    • Sections present in initial HTML (not added via JS)
    • Books present in initial HTML
    • Library selector has all options
  4. View page source (Ctrl+U) and verify:
    • Section HTML present in source
    • Book cards present in source

Verification:

# Check template has sections parameter (SSR)
rg "templ Dashboard.*sections" templates/dashboard.templ -A 5

# Verify frontend route passes data to template
rg "templates.Dashboard.*sections" internal/router/frontend.go -A 5

# Check for initial load fetching (should be NONE)
rg "fetch.*onload|DOMContentLoaded.*fetch" web/src/dashboard.ts
# Should return nothing - no fetch on initial load

12.2 Verify TypeScript Updates

Critical paths:

  • Library switching triggers JSON fetch
  • Loading indicator shows during fetch
  • Sections re-render after library switch
  • Settings save via API, then page reload
  • Error handling with toast notifications

Test procedure:

  1. Load dashboard (verify SSR data present)
  2. Change library selector
  3. Verify:
    • Loading spinner appears
    • Network tab shows /api/dashboard/sections?library_id=<new> request
    • Sections update without full page reload
    • URL updates with ?library_id=<new>
  4. Open settings, change items per section
  5. Verify:
    • API POST to /dashboard/settings
    • Success toast appears
    • Page reloads with new settings applied

Verification:

# Check TypeScript has switchLibrary function
rg "function switchLibrary|async switchLibrary" web/src/dashboard.ts -A 10

# Verify it fetches JSON
rg "fetch.*api/dashboard/sections" web/src/dashboard.ts

# Verify renderSections function exists
rg "function renderSections" web/src/dashboard.ts -A 10

  • Limit parameters respected

Verification:

# Check indexes
psql bookhoard -c "\di" | grep dashboard

# Explain queries
psql bookhoard -c "EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM user_dashboard_preferences WHERE user_id = '...' AND library_id = '...'"

# Check query plans for sections
# (simulate GetSectionItems queries)
psql bookhoard -c "EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM media_items WHERE ... ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 20"

Verification:

# Check test files exist
ls -la internal/services/dashboard_service_test.go
ls -la internal/handlers/dashboard_handler_test.go
ls -la internal/handlers/dashboard_integration_test.go

# Run tests
go test ./internal/services/dashboard_service_test.go -v
go test ./internal/handlers/dashboard_handler_test.go -v
go test ./internal/handlers/dashboard_integration_test.go -v

# Run with coverage

  • Unit tests for all helper functions
  • Integration tests for all API endpoints
  • Integration tests use test_helpers
  • Coverage > 80% for new code

15. Cross-Reference Verification

15.1 Verify Database → Go Types

Schema.sql → models.go:

  • Column names match
  • Types match (UUID, TEXT[], INT, TIMESTAMP, etc.)
  • NULL constraints match (pgtype vs required)
  • Default values match
  • Foreign keys match

Verification:

# Compare schema with generated types
# Schema
rg "user_dashboard_preferences" database/schema/schema.sql -A 15

# Generated type
rg "type UserDashboardPreferences struct" internal/database/models.go -A 15

# Check field matching
rg "pgtype\.(UUID|Text|Int4|TextArray)" internal/database/models.go

15.2 Verify Go → Template Types

Handlers → Templates:

  • Handler calls service
  • Service returns database types
  • Frontend router passes handler types to template
  • Template uses handler types directly (no conversion)
  • No type mismatches
  • NO templates.SectionData created (use handlers.SectionData if needed)

CRITICAL GUIDELINE:

  • Templates import handlers package
  • Templates use handlers.CollectionData, handlers.BookInfo directly
  • Handler types enhanced with template-specific fields (Icon, etc.)
  • No conversion helper functions
  • No parallel type systems

Verification:

# Check handler to template flow
# Handler
rg "GetSectionItems" internal/router/frontend.go -B 5 -A 20

# Template uses handler types (NOT template types)
rg 'handlers\.(CollectionData|BookInfo|SectionData)' templates/*.templ

# CRITICAL: Check for duplicate types in templates (should be none)
rg "type.*Data struct" templates/types.go | grep -v "PageData|UnsafeHTML"

# Check for conversion functions (should be none)
rg "func.*ToTemplate|func.*Convert" internal/router/frontend.go

15.3 Verify Handler → TypeScript Types

Handler JSON → TypeScript (.d.ts):

  • Handler types have JSON tags (snake_case)
  • TypeScript interfaces recreate handler JSON structure
  • Field names use snake_case in both
  • Types match (pgtype correctly mapped to TypeScript)
  • No missing fields
  • Template-specific fields in handler types reflected in TypeScript
  • ACCEPTABLE: TypeScript duplicates handler types (cross-language, necessary)

pgtype Mapping Verification:

// Go handler
type BookInfo struct {
    MediaItemID  pgtype.UUID      `json:"media_item_id"`
    Title        pgtype.Text      `json:"title"`
    CoverImage   pgtype.Text      `json:"cover_image"`
    IsFeatured   pgtype.Bool      `json:"is_featured"`
    Tags         pgtype.TextArray `json:"tags"`
}
// TypeScript .d.ts (acceptable recreation)
interface BookInfo {
    media_item_id: string;           // pgtype.UUID → string
    title: string | undefined;       // pgtype.Text → string | undefined
    cover_image: string | undefined; // pgtype.Text → string | undefined
    is_featured: boolean;            // pgtype.Bool → boolean
    tags: string[];                  // pgtype.TextArray → string[]
}

Verification:

# Handler type with JSON tags
rg "type.*struct" internal/handlers/*.go -A 20 | grep "json:"

# TypeScript type matches handler JSON
rg "interface" web/src/types/dashboard.d.ts -A 15

# Compare field names (manual verification)
# Handler: json:"media_item_id"
# TypeScript: media_item_id: string

# Verify pgtype mapping
rg "pgtype\.(UUID|Text|Bool|TextArray)" internal/handlers/*.go
# Corresponding TypeScript should use string, boolean, string[]

# CRITICAL: No Go template types in TypeScript (this is wrong)
rg "templates\." web/src/types/dashboard.d.ts
# Should return nothing - TypeScript references handler JSON, not Go template types

# TypeScript types are OK (acceptable cross-language duplication)
ls -la web/src/types/*.d.ts

15.4 Verify TypeScript → API Responses

API → TypeScript:

  • Handler returns JSON
  • JSON structure matches TypeScript interface IN FULL
  • All fields from Go handler present in TypeScript
  • Field names match (snake_case)
  • Types match (pgtype correctly mapped)
  • Null handling consistent (pgtype.Text → string | undefined)
  • No missing fields (complete type safety)

Verification:

# API response structure
rg "buildJSONSections" internal/handlers/dashboard.go -A 30

# TypeScript interface
rg "interface (SectionData|BookCardData)" web/src/types/dashboard.d.ts

# Test API response and compare with TypeScript
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  "http://localhost:8080/api/dashboard/sections?library_id=..." | jq '.sections[0]'

# Compare API response fields with TypeScript interface
# API response example:
# {
#   "id": "continue-reading",
#   "type": "system",
#   "title": "Continue Reading",
#   "description": "Books you're currently reading",
#   "icon": "📖",
#   "items": [...],
#   "view_all_url": "/section/continue-reading",
#   "priority": 1
# }

# TypeScript interface MUST have all 8 fields above
interface SectionData {
    id: string;
    type: string;           // "system" or "user"
    title: string;
    description: string;
    icon: string;
    items: BookInfo[];
    view_all_url: string;
    priority: number;
    // Missing any of these = CRITICAL TYPE SAFETY ISSUE
}

# CRITICAL: Count fields in API response vs TypeScript
# Count API response fields
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  "http://localhost:8080/api/dashboard/sections?library_id=..." | jq '.sections[0] | keys | length'

# Count TypeScript interface fields
rg "interface SectionData" web/src/types/dashboard.d.ts -A 30 | rg '^\s+[a-z_]+:' | wc -l

# Both counts MUST match (example: 9 = 9)

16. Architecture Compliance Verification

16.1 Verify Project Guidelines Adherence

Frontend standards:

  • TailwindCSS classes only (no custom CSS)
  • TypeScript in web/src/ (no inline JavaScript)
  • Procedural/imperative style (no OOP)
  • SSR for initial data
  • Progressive enhancement
  • HTMX for updates
  • Event delegation pattern
  • API client usage
  • Toast notification usage
  • NO duplicate type definitions (use handler types directly)
  • Handler types enhanced with template fields (not parallel types)
  • NO conversion helper functions (use handler types directly)

Backend standards:

  • All business logic in services
  • Handlers use service layer
  • No direct database access from handlers
  • Atomic schema changes
  • No migration files
  • Bruno tests for API endpoints

Code organization:

  • Handler types defined in internal/handlers/*.go
  • Templates import handlers package
  • Templates use handler types directly
  • Template-only types for UI concerns only (PageData, UnsafeHTML)

Verification:

# Check for custom CSS (should be none)
rg "<style>" templates/dashboard.templ

# Check for inline JS (should be none)
rg "<script>" templates/dashboard.templ | grep -v "src="

# Check for OOP (should be none)
rg "class |this\." web/src/dashboard.ts

# Verify TailwindCSS usage
rg 'class="[^"]*"' templates/dashboard.templ | head -20

# CRITICAL: Check for duplicate type definitions
rg "type.*Data struct" templates/types.go
# Should have NO dashboard data types - use handler types

# Verify templates use handler types
rg 'handlers\.' templates/*.templ

# Check for conversion helpers (should be none)
rg "func.*ToTemplate|func.*Convert.*To" templates/*.go
# Should return nothing - use handler types directly

16.2 Verify Service Layer Pattern

All business logic in services:

  • Handlers don't query database directly
  • Service methods are reusable
  • Same service used by SSR and API
  • Service has no HTTP concerns
  • Service returns raw data
  • Handler formats for templates/API

Verification:

# Check handler for direct DB access (should be none)
rg "Queries\." internal/handlers/dashboard.go

# Check service usage
rg "dashboardService\." internal/router/frontend.go
rg "dashboardService\." internal/handlers/dashboard.go

16.3 Verify Single Source of Truth

Service layer is source of truth:

  • SSR uses DashboardService
  • API handler uses DashboardService
  • No duplicate logic
  • Same data for all clients

Verification:

# Find all service usage
rg "DashboardService" internal/ -r

# Verify no duplicate queries in handlers
rg "SELECT.*FROM" internal/handlers/dashboard.go
# Should return nothing

17. Contradiction Detection

17.1 Check for Internal Contradictions

Search for conflicting statements:

  • Timeline estimates consistent (3-4 days, not 2 weeks)
  • Architecture description consistent throughout
  • Type definitions match in all sections
  • Code examples follow guidelines
  • Phase dependencies are acyclic
  • No "do X" in one section, "don't do X" in another

CRITICAL: Type Definition Contradictions

  • NO templates/types.go types that duplicate handler types in Go
  • Plan does NOT create templates.SectionData or templates.BookCardData in Go
  • Plan DOES use handler types directly or enhance them
  • No conversion helper functions mentioned for Go
  • Handler types are source of truth in Go
  • ACCEPTABLE: TypeScript .d.ts files recreate types (cross-language, necessary)
  • Plan distinguishes between Go duplication (wrong) and TypeScript duplication (acceptable)
  • CRITICAL: TypeScript types must include ALL fields from Go handlers (no partial types)
  • Plan doesn't mention TypeScript types with "optional" or "partial" fields
  • Field counts match between Go structs and TypeScript interfaces
  • No "TypeScript has subset of fields for UI only" (violates type safety)

Common contradictions:

  • "Procedural style only" but examples show classes
  • "No inline JavaScript" but templates have <script> blocks
  • "SSR first" but initial load uses AJAX
  • "Progressive enhancement" but forms require JavaScript
  • "3-4 days" but tasks estimate 10+ days
  • "No duplicate types" but plan creates templates.SectionData
  • "Use handler types" but plan has conversion functions

Verification:

# Search for class usage
rg "class " CAROUSEL_DASHBOARD_PLAN.md
# Should be in examples of what NOT to do

# Search for timeline
rg "day|days|week|weeks" CAROUSEL_DASHBOARD_PLAN.md
# Verify consistency

# Check for inline JS mentions
rg "<script>" CAROUSEL_DASHBOARD_PLAN.md
# Should only mention external script tags

# CRITICAL: Check for duplicate type creation
rg "templates/types.go|templates\.SectionData|templates\.BookCardData" CAROUSEL_DASHBOARD_PLAN.md
# Should find nothing - use handler types instead

# Check for enhancement pattern (correct)
rg "Enhance.*handler|template-specific fields" CAROUSEL_DASHBOARD_PLAN.md
# Should mention enhancing handler types

# Check for conversion functions (wrong)
rg "convert|ToTemplate|MapTo" CAROUSEL_DASHBOARD_PLAN.md -i
# Should be minimal or none for type conversions

# CRITICAL: Check for partial TypeScript types (violates guidelines)
rg "partial|subset|fields.*needed|UI.*only" CAROUSEL_DASHBOARD_PLAN.md -i
# Should not mention TypeScript having fewer fields than Go

# Check if plan documents full type matching
rg "all fields|complete|full.*match|every field" CAROUSEL_DASHBOARD_PLAN.md -i
# Should mention TypeScript matching Go types completely

17.2 Check for Contradictions with TypeScript Plan

Carousel Dashboard assumes TypeScript Conversion completed:

  • No conflicts with TypeScript architecture
  • Uses same event delegation pattern
  • Uses same shared modules
  • Follows same procedural style
  • No duplicate type definitions

Verification:

# Compare event delegation patterns
rg "data-action" TYPESCRIPT_CONVERSION_PLAN.md
rg "data-action" CAROUSEL_DASHBOARD_PLAN.md
# Should be consistent

# Compare module structure
rg "web/src/" TYPESCRIPT_CONVERSION_PLAN.md
rg "web/src/" CAROUSEL_DASHBOARD_PLAN.md
# Carousel should use existing modules

# Check for duplicate type definitions
rg "interface.*Data" TYPESCRIPT_CONVERSION_PLAN.md
rg "interface.*Data" CAROUSEL_DASHBOARD_PLAN.md
# Carousel types should be new, not duplicates

17.3 Check for Contradictions with Codebase

Verify plan matches existing patterns:

  • Router pattern matches existing routes
  • Service pattern matches existing services
  • Template pattern matches existing templates
  • Handler pattern matches existing handlers
  • TypeScript pattern matches existing TS

Verification:

# Compare with existing router
rg "func register" internal/router/*.go
# Carousel should follow same pattern

# Compare with existing service
rg "type.*Service struct" internal/services/*.go
# Carousel should follow same pattern

# Compare with existing handler
rg "type.*Handler struct" internal/handlers/*.go
# Carousel should follow same pattern

# Compare with existing TypeScript
rg "^function " web/src/*.ts
# Carousel should follow same pattern

18. Realism Verification

18.1 Verify Timeline Estimates

Phase duration estimates:

  • Phase 1 (Schema): 2-3 hours
  • Phase 2 (Service): 3-4 hours
  • Phase 3 (Queries): 1-2 hours
  • Phase 4 (Handler): 1-2 hours

  • Phase 7 (Template Types): 30 min
  • Phase 8 (Settings Template): 2 hours
  • Phase 9 (Templates): 4-5 hours
  • Phase 10 (TypeScript): 2-3 hours

Total: 18-24 hours = 3-4 days

Verification:

# Sum phase durations
# (Manual calculation from plan)

# Check for missing tasks
rg "TODO|TBD|FIXME" CAROUSEL_DASHBOARD_PLAN.md
# Should return nothing

18.2 Verify Effort Estimates

For each phase:

  • Line counts are accurate (if mentioned)
  • File counts are accurate
  • Complexity matches duration
  • No phase exceeds 1 day (except maybe templates)
  • Parallel work is possible where stated

Verification:

# Check for unrealistic estimates
# (Manual review of each phase)

18.3 Verify Technical Feasibility

Check for over-ambitious goals:

  • No entirely new architecture (uses existing patterns)
  • No unproven technologies (uses Go, templ, HTMX, TailwindCSS)
  • No breaking changes to existing systems
  • Rollback is possible (delete files, revert schema)
  • Testing is feasible within timeline
  • No blocking dependencies

Red flags:

  • "Need to refactor entire X"
  • "Rewrite Y from scratch"
  • "New framework Z"
  • "Breaking change to W"

Verification:

# Search for red flags
rg "refactor|rewrite|breaking" CAROUSEL_DASHBOARD_PLAN.md -i

# Should only mention positive changes

19. Documentation Verification

For each type in web/src/types/dashboard.d.ts:

  • Comment explains purpose
  • Comments reference source (Go handler file)
  • Comments reference Go struct name
  • All fields documented (not just some)
  • Fields have inline comments if purpose unclear
  • Complex types have usage examples
  • Document field count (e.g., "// 11 fields from handlers.SectionData")

Example:

// web/src/types/dashboard.d.ts

// Matches handlers.SectionData from internal/handlers/dashboard.go
// JSON response from /api/dashboard/sections
// All 8 fields from Go struct included
export interface SectionData {
    id: string;                       // Section identifier
    type: string;                     // "system" or "user"
    title: string;                    // Section display title
    description: string;              // Section description
    icon: string;                     // Section icon (emoji)
    items: BookInfo[];                // Books in this section
    view_all_url: string;             // Link to view all items
    priority: number;                 // Display order priority
}

For Go handler types (internal/handlers/*.go):

  • All struct fields have JSON tags
  • Comments explain purpose if not obvious
  • Exported types have package-level documentation
  • pgtype fields documented if behavior is unclear

Verification:

# Check TypeScript type documentation
cat web/src/types/dashboard.d.ts | rg "//"

# Verify field count mentioned in comments
rg "All.*fields included|fields from" web/src/types/dashboard.d.ts

# Check Go handler documentation
rg "type.*struct" internal/handlers/*.go -B 5 | rg "//"

# Verify all Go fields have JSON tags
rg "type.*struct" internal/handlers/*.go -A 30 | grep -v 'json:"'
# Should return nothing (all fields should have json tags)

Verification:

# Check for comments
rg "// " templates/types.go | rg -A 5 "SectionData|BookCardData"

# Check TypeScript comments
rg "// " web/src/types/dashboard.d.ts

19.2 Verify Code Example Accuracy

# (Manual testing)

19.3 Verify Template Examples

For each template example:

  • Valid Go template syntax (templ)
  • Correct handler type references
  • Script tags use correct paths
  • No inline JavaScript
  • HTMX attributes are correct
  • TailwindCSS classes are valid

Verification:
