Enhance AI Coach reliability with workout protection and smarter scheduling. Add comprehensive E2E testing infrastructure. Improve workout preview modal UX.

✔️ Things I Got Done Today

Pre-Production Hardening

Security & Validation

  • Added Zod schemas for API request validation:
    • Bulk delete route validation
    • Share routes validation
    • Type-safe request handling
    • Better error messages
  • Fixed auth bypass in training/load endpoint:
    • Now requires auth header
    • Prevents unauthorized access
    • Improved security posture
  • Replaced wildcard SELECT with explicit columns:
    • Better performance
    • Reduced data exposure
    • Improved query clarity

Google Calendar Settings

  • Added connection status display:
    • Visual indicator of sync status
    • Clear connection state
    • Better user awareness
  • Added disconnect functionality:
    • Follows existing OAuth integration patterns (Garmin, Strava, Wahoo)
    • Consistent UX across integrations
    • Proper cleanup on disconnect

Mobile Responsiveness

  • Fixed grid layouts for small screens:
    • Changed from grid-cols-2 to sm:grid-cols-4
    • Better mobile experience
    • Responsive design improvements
  • Increased nav label font size:
    • Changed from 10px to 12px
    • Improved accessibility
    • Better readability on mobile
  • Made segment metrics form responsive:
    • Mobile-friendly form layout
    • Better touch targets
    • Improved usability

Garmin Duplicate Sync Fixes

Auto-Sync Deduplication

  • Fixed duplicate workout creation in Garmin Connect:
    • Auto-sync was bypassing duplicate detection
    • Added force parameter to autoSyncWorkoutToGarmin() (defaults to false)
    • Export route now only bypasses dedup when force=true is explicitly set
    • User-initiated exports pass force=true for intentional re-exports
    • Auto-syncs pass force=false to respect deduplication

Sync State Management

  • Improved Garmin sync state handling:
    • Dual-write sync state to both platform_sync_state table and legacy columns
    • Check platform_sync_state first with fallback to legacy workouts columns
    • Prevents duplicates by ensuring consistent sync state across both storage locations
    • Better data integrity

Bulk Delete & Sync State

  • Added bulk delete UI:
    • Remove scheduled workouts from Garmin in date range
    • User-friendly date range selection
    • Batch operations for efficiency
  • Improved sync state tracking:
    • Consistent state management
    • Better error handling
    • Proper cleanup on deletion

AI Coach Reliability Improvements

Workout Protection

  • Protected imported workouts from AI deletion:
    • AI coach delete operations (clearAll and deleteWorkouts) now only affect workouts created by the AI (external_source = 'ai')
    • User-created and imported workouts from Garmin, Strava, etc. are protected
    • Added external_source tracking for AI-created workouts
    • Updated system prompt to document deletion behavior

Smart Week Targeting

  • Fixed AI Suggest Week to target next empty week:
    • Smart week detection: scans ahead to find weeks with 2 or fewer workouts
    • No longer always targets tomorrow's week
    • Variety requirement: AI now explicitly instructed to create different workouts from what's already planned
    • Rotates intervals and varies focuses
    • Prevents duplicate suggestions when clicking AI Suggest Week repeatedly

Race Date Boundaries

  • Prevented AI coach from scheduling workouts past race date:
    • Added explicit race date boundary rules to the AI coach system prompt
    • When creating plans targeting a race, the AI will never schedule workouts after the race date
    • Applies proper taper durations by distance
    • Better plan structure and timing

E2E Testing Infrastructure

Playwright Setup

  • Set up Playwright with Chromium browser:
    • Comprehensive E2E testing framework
    • Reliable browser automation
    • Cross-platform support

Authentication Setup

  • Added authentication setup for logged-in testing:
    • Test credentials loaded from .env.local
    • Robust onboarding dismissal helper
    • Clicks through all onboarding steps
    • Reliable test state management

AI Coach E2E Tests

  • Added comprehensive E2E tests:
    • Chat dock visibility
    • AI response to questions
    • Workout plan creation (verify no raw JSON)
    • 4-week chunking for long plans
    • Response time measurement
  • Improved test reliability:
    • Fixed AI message selector to use actual CSS classes (.self-start.bg-fs-surface)
    • Wait for "Response time:" indicator count to increase before asserting
    • Increased timeout for long training plan tests
    • Changed 12-week to 8-week plan in chunking test for faster execution

Test Scripts

  • Added npm scripts:
    • test:e2e - Run all E2E tests
    • test:e2e:ui - Run with Playwright UI
    • test:e2e:headed - Run with visible browser
    • test:e2e:debug - Debug mode
  • Usage: TEST_BASE_URL=https://reachflowstate.ai npm run test:e2e

Workout Preview Modal Improvements

Skip Preview for Planned Workouts

  • Click on planned workout now opens edit modal directly:
    • No preview modal for planned workouts
    • Faster workflow
    • Better UX
  • Click on completed workout (with actual_metrics) opens read-only preview:
    • Appropriate modal based on workout state
    • Better user experience
    • Clear distinction between planned and completed

Action Migration

  • Migrated all actions from preview modal to WorkoutBuilder footer:
    • AI Adjust, Duplicate, Share, Export menu, Delete buttons
    • Status badges (Garmin sync, external source)
    • Consistent action placement
    • Better modal organization

Modal Sizing

  • Increased preview modal size with fitContent:
    • Eliminates scrollbar
    • Better content visibility
    • Improved user experience

Helper Function

  • Added handleOpenWorkout helper for consistent routing logic:
    • Centralized workout opening logic
    • Consistent behavior across app
    • Easier maintenance

Loading Indicator Fixes

Timer Display Fix

  • Resolved jumping timer in AI loading indicator:
    • LoadingProgress component was updating every 100ms but only displaying whole seconds
    • Changed to update every 1000ms to match display granularity
    • Smooth timer display
    • Better user experience

Code Simplification

Dead Code Removal

  • Removed unused suggested prompts constants from ChatDock:
    • Dead code cleanup (SUGGESTED_PROMPTS and ALL_SUGGESTED_PROMPTS)
    • Never used since dynamic prompts are generated via generateSuggestedPrompts()
    • Cleaner codebase
    • Reduced bundle size

🚧 In Progress

  • Pre-production hardening (security improvements complete, additional validation planned)
  • Garmin sync reliability (duplicate fixes complete, additional edge cases to handle)
  • E2E testing (core tests complete, additional test coverage planned)
  • AI Coach improvements (core reliability fixes complete, additional optimizations planned)

  1. Continue pre-production hardening — additional security and validation improvements
  2. Expand E2E test coverage — add more test scenarios and edge cases
  3. Monitor Garmin sync — verify duplicate fixes in production
  4. Additional AI Coach optimizations — continue improving reliability and scheduling
