Implemented proper reasoning data generation for purchase orders and
production batches to enable multilingual dashboard support.
Backend Strategy:
- Generate structured JSON with type codes and parameters
- Store only reasoning_data (JSONB), not hardcoded text
- Frontend will translate using i18n libraries
Changes:
1. Created shared/schemas/reasoning_types.py
- Defined reasoning types for POs and batches
- Created helper functions for common reasoning patterns
- Supports multiple reasoning types (low_stock, forecast_demand, etc.)
2. Production Service (services/production/app/services/production_service.py)
- Generate reasoning_data when creating batches from forecast
- Include parameters: product_name, predicted_demand, current_stock, etc.
- Structure supports frontend i18n interpolation
3. Procurement Service (services/procurement/app/services/procurement_service.py)
- Implemented actual PO creation (was placeholder before!)
- Groups requirements by supplier
- Generates reasoning_data based on context (low_stock vs forecast)
- Creates PO items automatically
Example reasoning_data:
{
"type": "low_stock_detection",
"parameters": {
"supplier_name": "Harinas del Norte",
"product_names": ["Flour Type 55", "Flour Type 45"],
"days_until_stockout": 3,
"current_stock": 45.5,
"required_stock": 200
},
"consequence": {
"type": "stockout_risk",
"severity": "high",
"impact_days": 3
}
}
Frontend will translate:
- EN: "Low stock detected for Harinas del Norte. Stock runs out in 3 days."
- ES: "Stock bajo detectado para Harinas del Norte. Se agota en 3 días."
- CA: "Estoc baix detectat per Harinas del Norte. S'esgota en 3 dies."
Next steps:
- Remove TEXT fields (reasoning, consequence) from models
- Update dashboard service to use reasoning_data
- Create frontend i18n translation keys
- Update dashboard components to translate dynamically
Consolidated incremental migrations into single unified initial schema files for both procurement and production services. This simplifies database setup and eliminates migration chain complexity.
Changes:
- Procurement: Merged 3 migrations into 001_unified_initial_schema.py
- Initial schema (20251015_1229)
- Add supplier_price_list_id (20251030_0737)
- Add JTBD reasoning fields (20251107)
- Production: Merged 3 migrations into 001_unified_initial_schema.py
- Initial schema (20251015_1231)
- Add waste tracking fields (20251023_0900)
- Add JTBD reasoning fields (20251107)
All new fields (reasoning, consequence, reasoning_data, waste_defect_type, is_ai_assisted, supplier_price_list_id) are now included in the initial schemas from the start.
Updated model files to use deferred() for reasoning fields to prevent breaking queries when running against existing databases.
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
- All sections integrated with error handling
- Real-time refresh and quick action links
- Old dashboard backed up as DashboardPage.legacy.tsx
## Key Features
### Automation-First
- Shows what orchestrator did overnight
- Builds trust through transparency
- Explains reasoning for all automated decisions
### Action-Oriented
- Prioritizes tasks over information display
- Clear consequences for each action
- Large touch-friendly buttons
### Progressive Disclosure
- Shows 20% of info that matters 80% of time
- Expandable details when needed
- No overwhelming metrics
### Mobile-First
- One-handed operation
- Large touch targets (min 44px)
- Responsive grid layouts
### Trust-Building
- Narrative format ("I planned your day")
- Reasoning inputs transparency
- Clear status indicators
## User Segments Supported
1. Solo Bakery Owner (Primary)
- Simple health indicator
- Action checklist (max 3-5 items)
- Mobile-optimized
2. Multi-Location Owner
- Multi-tenant support (existing)
- Comparison capabilities
- Delegation ready
3. Enterprise/Central Bakery (Future)
- Network topology support
- Advanced analytics ready
## JTBD Analysis Delivered
Main Job: "Help me quickly understand bakery status and know what needs my intervention"
Emotional Jobs Addressed:
- Feel in control despite automation
- Reduce daily anxiety
- Feel competent with technology
- Trust system as safety net
Social Jobs Addressed:
- Demonstrate professional management
- Avoid being bottleneck
- Show sustainability
## 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:
- purchase_orders: reasoning, consequence, reasoning_data
- production_batches: reasoning, reasoning_data
