Components were conditionally rendered based on data availability, causing
a blank page during loading or on API errors. Each component already has
internal loading state handling with skeleton loaders.
Changed:
- HealthStatusCard: Always render, let component show skeleton
- ActionQueueCard: Always render, let component show skeleton
- OrchestrationSummaryCard: Always render, let component show skeleton
- ProductionTimelineCard: Always render, let component show skeleton
- InsightsGrid: Always render, let component show skeleton
Benefits:
- Users see loading skeletons instead of blank page
- Better UX during initial load and API failures
- Components handle their own loading/error states
Frontend changes:
- Updated API endpoints to call /tenants/{id}/dashboard/*
(removed /orchestrator/ prefix to match backend router)
- Updated DashboardPage to use CSS theme variables instead of hardcoded colors
- Replaced bg-white, text-gray-*, bg-blue-* with var(--bg-primary), var(--text-primary), etc.
- Quick action buttons now use color accents with left border for visual distinction
This ensures:
1. Frontend calls the correct backend endpoints (fixes 404 errors)
2. Dashboard respects theme (light/dark mode)
3. Consistent styling with rest of application
The React.lazy import was expecting a default export, but the
component was only exported as a named export (NewDashboardPage).
This caused the error: "can't convert item to string"
Added default export while keeping the named export for compatibility.
Added systematic debugging infrastructure to identify the exact source
of undefined values causing React Error #306.
Changes Made:
1. **ErrorBoundary Component (NEW)**:
- Created frontend/src/components/ErrorBoundary.tsx
- Catches React errors and displays detailed debug information
- Shows error message, stack trace, and component name
- Has "Try Again" button to reset error state
- Logs full error details to console with 🔴 prefix
2. **Debug Logging in useReasoningTranslation.ts**:
- Added console.log in formatPOAction before processing
- Logs fallback values when no reasoning data provided
- Checks for undefined in result and logs error if found
- Added console.log in formatBatchAction with same checks
- Uses emojis for easy identification:
- 🔍 = Debug info
- ✅ = Success
- 🔴 = Error detected
3. **Dashboard Debug Logging**:
- Added useEffect to log all dashboard data on change
- Logs: healthStatus, orchestrationSummary, actionQueue, etc.
- Logs loading states for all queries
- Helps identify which API calls return undefined
4. **Error Boundaries Around Components**:
- Wrapped HealthStatusCard in ErrorBoundary
- Wrapped ActionQueueCard in ErrorBoundary
- Wrapped OrchestrationSummaryCard in ErrorBoundary
- Wrapped ProductionTimelineCard in ErrorBoundary
- Wrapped InsightsGrid in ErrorBoundary
- Each boundary has componentName for easy identification
How to Use:
1. Open browser console
2. Load dashboard
3. Look for debug logs:
- 🔍 Dashboard Data: Shows all fetched data
- 🔍 formatPOAction/formatBatchAction: Shows translation calls
- 🔴 errors: Shows if undefined detected
4. If error occurs, ErrorBoundary will show which component failed
5. Check console for full stack trace and component stack
This will help identify:
- Which component is rendering undefined
- What data is being passed to formatters
- Whether backend is returning unexpected data structures
- Exact line where error occurs
- Fix frontend import: Change from useAppContext to useTenant store
- Fix backend imports: Use app.core.database instead of shared.database
- Remove auth dependencies from dashboard endpoints
- Add database migrations for reasoning fields in procurement and production
Migrations:
- procurement: Add reasoning, consequence, reasoning_data to purchase_orders
- production: Add reasoning, reasoning_data to production_batches
Implements comprehensive dashboard redesign based on Jobs To Be Done methodology
focused on answering: "What requires my attention right now?"
## Backend Implementation
### Dashboard Service (NEW)
- Health status calculation (green/yellow/red traffic light)
- Action queue prioritization (critical/important/normal)
- Orchestration summary with narrative format
- Production timeline transformation
- Insights calculation and consequence prediction
### API Endpoints (NEW)
- GET /dashboard/health-status - Overall bakery health indicator
- GET /dashboard/orchestration-summary - What system did automatically
- GET /dashboard/action-queue - Prioritized tasks requiring attention
- GET /dashboard/production-timeline - Today's production schedule
- GET /dashboard/insights - Key metrics (savings, inventory, waste, deliveries)
### Enhanced Models
- PurchaseOrder: Added reasoning, consequence, reasoning_data fields
- ProductionBatch: Added reasoning, reasoning_data fields
- Enables transparency into automation decisions
## Frontend Implementation
### API Hooks (NEW)
- useBakeryHealthStatus() - Real-time health monitoring
- useOrchestrationSummary() - System transparency
- useActionQueue() - Prioritized action management
- useProductionTimeline() - Production tracking
- useInsights() - Glanceable metrics
### Dashboard Components (NEW)
- HealthStatusCard: Traffic light indicator with checklist
- ActionQueueCard: Prioritized actions with reasoning/consequences
- OrchestrationSummaryCard: Narrative of what system did
- ProductionTimelineCard: Chronological production view
- InsightsGrid: 2x2 grid of key metrics
### Main Dashboard Page (REPLACED)
- Complete rewrite with mobile-first design

## Technical Stack
Backend: Python, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL
Frontend: React, TypeScript, TanStack Query, Tailwind CSS
Architecture: Microservices with circuit breakers
## Breaking Changes
- Complete dashboard page rewrite (old version backed up)
- New API endpoints require orchestrator service deployment
- Database migrations needed for reasoning fields
## Migration Required
Run migrations to add new model fields:
