# Draft Implementation Plan (Version 4.2)
## Goal
Prepare a safe implementation path for Source page reordering and constrained application settings. This plan remains provisional until the V4.2 scope-freeze decisions are resolved.
## Planning Constraints
- V4 and V4.1 remain the behavioral baseline.
- Reordering must be atomic and service-owned.
- Settings must use explicit domain operations rather than direct database, environment-file, or arbitrary filesystem access from UI pages.
- Prompt changes must preserve historical Job provenance and use a defined safe-write policy.
## Expected Project Impact
| Area | Expected impact |
| --- | --- |
| Sources service | Add validated, transactional set-based page reordering. |
| Documents/Sources UI | Add a reorder entry point and interaction for one Document. |
| Documents service | Expand controlled Document Type maintenance operations. |
| People service | Expand controlled Person Role maintenance operations. |
| Prompt adapter/service | Add constrained listing, reading, validation, and safe writing of prompt artifacts. |
| UI composition/navigation | Register Settings routes and navigation without moving persistence into UI code. |
| Tests | Add transaction, conflict, registry lifecycle, prompt safety, and UI workflow coverage. |
## Proposed Implementation Phases
### 1. Resolve Scope-Freeze Decisions
- Select and document the reorder interaction.
- Define whether active Jobs block reorder.
- Define prompt atomic-write, backup, and recovery policy.
- Decide whether prompt creation/deletion is excluded.
- Finalize registry ordering requirements.
- Remove the Draft designation only after these decisions are reflected in scope and acceptance criteria.
### 2. Define Service Contracts
- Define a Source reorder command containing `document_id`, the complete ordered Source ID list, and a concurrency token or equivalent stale-write guard if supported by the current model.
- Define Document Type maintenance commands for create, relabel, sort, activate, and deactivate.
- Define Person Role maintenance commands for create, relabel, activate, and deactivate.
- Define a Prompt Store interface for constrained list/read/write behavior.
- Map validation, conflict, not-found, dependency, and filesystem failures to existing `AppError` categories.
### 3. Implement Transactional Source Reordering
- Load all Sources for the target Document in the same transaction.
- Reject missing, extra, duplicate, or foreign Source IDs.
- Reject stale writes using the selected concurrency policy.
- Apply a collision-safe renumbering strategy suitable for both SQLite and PostgreSQL.
- Finish with contiguous `page_number` values beginning at 1.
- Roll back the entire operation on any failure.
- Add service tests for valid reorder, no-op, reverse order, invalid membership, duplicates, stale submissions, rollback, and backend-compatible SQL behavior.
### 4. Implement the Reorder UI
- Add a Reorder Pages action from a Document-scoped Source view or Document Detail.
- Render Source labels/previews sufficient to identify each page.
- Capture the complete intended order.
- Require explicit Save and provide Cancel without mutation.
- Surface validation and conflict errors through the shared error presenter.
- Return to a Document-scoped ordered view after success.
- Verify keyboard-accessible controls for any drag-and-drop interaction.
### 5. Expand Registry Maintenance Services
- Reuse existing Document and People service ownership.
- Add explicit write methods rather than passing UI-mutated ORM objects directly where practical.
- Normalize and validate new stable codes.
- Reject duplicate codes deterministically.
- Block deletion or omit deletion entirely; use activation state for lifecycle management.
- Preserve inactive entries for historical reads.
- Add service tests for create, relabel, activation, deactivation, duplicates, immutable codes, and referenced records.
### 6. Add Constrained Prompt Storage
- Place filesystem access behind a dedicated Prompt Store/service boundary.
- Resolve all filenames directly beneath the configured prompt root and reject traversal.
- Permit only the agreed markdown extension and reject empty content.
- Implement the approved safe-write strategy, including flush/replace behavior and backup/recovery if selected.
- Preserve file encoding and provide explicit failures for read-only or unavailable storage.
- Do not modify any Job row when prompt defaults change.
- Add unit tests for valid reads/writes, traversal, invalid names, empty content, filesystem failures, and unchanged Job provenance.
### 7. Build the Settings UI
- Register a Settings landing page and navigation entry.
- Add separate pages or panels for Document Types, Person Roles, and Prompts.
- Keep pages responsible for orchestration and notifications only.
- Use service callbacks for all mutations.
- Explain stable codes, inactive historical entries, and future-only prompt effects in the UI.
- Do not render raw environment values or secrets.
### 8. Verification and Rollout
- Run focused service tests before UI integration tests.
- Verify reorder behavior against Documents with one and many Sources.
- Verify ordered transcription rendering and V4.1 previous/next navigation after reorder.
- Verify inactive registry behavior in both historical display and create/edit selectors.
- Verify prompt changes are picked up by newly created Jobs while historical Jobs retain frozen content/hash.
- Run the relevant regression suite.
## Migration and Compatibility Notes
- No new table is expected solely for reordering; `Source.page_number` remains authoritative.
- A uniqueness constraint on `(document_id, page_number)` should be evaluated before scope freeze. If added, migration and collision-safe update behavior must be designed for both supported databases.
- Existing registry records remain valid.
- Prompt editing changes mutable application files, not database provenance already captured on Jobs.
- V4.2 must not require users to recreate existing Sources, Documents, People, roles, or types.
## Proposed Delivery Order
1. Freeze the remaining decisions.
2. Implement and verify Source reorder service semantics.
3. Build the reorder UI.
4. Implement registry maintenance service operations.
5. Implement the Prompt Store and safety policy.
6. Build Settings pages.
7. Run integration and regression verification.
## Draft Done Criteria
- All V4.2 acceptance criteria are testable and satisfied.
- Reordering is atomic, conflict-aware, contiguous, and cross-database compatible.
- Settings mutations cross explicit service or adapter boundaries.
- Registry codes cannot be accidentally changed.
- Prompt writes cannot escape the configured directory or rewrite historical provenance.
- No secret or raw environment editor exists.
- V4.1 workflows remain intact.

# Draft V4.2 Scope Boundary
This document defines the proposed boundary for the second incremental revision to Version 4. It is intentionally a draft until V4.1 has been used and the remaining workflows have been validated.
## Purpose
- Allow correction of Source page order after import.
- Provide a constrained Settings area for safe maintenance of selected application-managed configuration.
- Avoid exposing secrets, restart-sensitive settings, or unrestricted filesystem editing through the UI.
## Proposed In Scope
### 1. Source Page Reordering
- Allow Sources within one Document to be reordered after import.
- Present the current order using page number and a recognizable source label or preview.
- Persist the complete intended order atomically.
- Renumber the affected Document's Sources to a contiguous sequence beginning at 1.
- Keep all Sources attached to their existing Document.
- Ensure transcription rendering and previous/next navigation use the updated order.
- Detect stale or invalid reorder submissions and fail without partial mutation.
### 2. Settings Navigation
- Add a Settings entry to application navigation.
- Provide separate, clearly described settings areas rather than a raw configuration editor.
- Restrict V4.2 settings to application-managed values that can be validated and safely changed at runtime.
### 3. Document Type Maintenance
- List active and inactive Document Types.
- Add new types with a stable unique code and user-facing label.
- Edit mutable labels and sort order.
- Activate or deactivate types without invalidating historical Documents.
- Do not allow changing a stable code after creation.
- Do not delete types that are referenced by Documents.
### 4. Person Role Maintenance
- List active and inactive Person Roles.
- Add new roles with a stable unique code and user-facing label.
- Edit mutable labels.
- Activate or deactivate roles without invalidating historical links.
- Do not allow changing a stable code after creation.
- Do not delete roles that are referenced by document-person links.
### 5. Prompt Maintenance
- List prompt markdown files from the configured prompt directory.
- View a prompt with a concise explanation of its purpose and use.
- Edit an existing prompt as plain markdown text.
- Validate the filename boundary and reject empty prompt content.
- Save changes explicitly and report filesystem failures.
- Preserve submission-time prompt text and hash already frozen on existing Jobs.
- Define a safe-write and recovery approach before this feature is considered final scope.
## Proposed Out of Scope
- Viewing or editing raw `.env` files.
- Displaying or changing provider API keys and other secrets.
- Editing host, port, database connection, upload paths, or other restart-sensitive runtime settings.
- Arbitrary file browsing or arbitrary prompt paths.
- Runtime theme/CSS editing.
- Installing themes or plugins.
- Source movement between Documents as part of reordering.
- Automatic ordering based on filenames, OCR, or image content.
- FamilySearch API synchronization.
- A generic external-reference registry.
- Ancestry references and Google Maps links.
## Proposed Design Decisions
### A. Reordering Is Set-Based
- The client submits the full ordered list of Source IDs for one Document.
- The service validates membership, completeness, duplicates, and authorization/context before writing.
- All page-number updates occur in one transaction.
### B. Registry Codes Are Immutable
- Document Type and Person Role codes are stable identifiers.
- Labels and active state remain mutable.
- Historical references remain valid when a registry entry is inactive.
### C. No Raw Environment Editor
- `.env` may contain secrets and values that are not safely reloadable.
- V4.2 exposes only purpose-built forms backed by explicit validation and service methods.
### D. Prompt Editing Is Constrained
- Prompt maintenance is limited to direct children of the configured prompt directory.
- Existing Job provenance is never rewritten when a prompt file changes.
- The UI must distinguish editing the default for future submissions from inspecting historical Job prompts.
## Decisions Required Before Scope Freeze
1. Choose the reorder interaction: move-up/down controls, drag-and-drop, or both.
2. Decide whether reordering is allowed while the Document has a queued or processing Job.
3. Define prompt backup, atomic-write, and recovery behavior.
4. Decide whether prompt creation and deletion are needed or whether V4.2 edits existing prompts only.
5. Confirm whether registry sort-order maintenance is needed for Person Roles as well as Document Types.
6. Confirm that settings changes remain local to the current installation and do not require an API surface.
## Draft Acceptance Criteria
1. Reordering a Document's Sources produces contiguous page numbers and updates every ordered view consistently.
2. Invalid, incomplete, duplicate, cross-Document, or stale reorder requests make no changes.
3. Document Type and Person Role maintenance preserves stable codes and historical references.
4. Inactive registry entries remain visible on historical records but are excluded from default create selectors.
5. Prompt edits are restricted to valid markdown files in the configured prompt directory.
6. A prompt edit affects future Jobs only and leaves stored Job provenance unchanged.
7. No Settings page exposes secrets or unrestricted filesystem access.
8. Focused service and UI tests pass without regressing V4.1 workflows.
## Scope Freeze Gate
V4.2 implementation should not begin until:
- V4.1 has been used sufficiently to validate priorities.
- The six open decisions above are resolved.
- The prompt-write safety policy is documented.
- The implementation plan is revised from draft to committed delivery plan.
