Epic 10 - Mission Control Admin Frontend Development Log

Project Overview

Date: 2026-03-23
Phase: 1 & 2 Implementation
Status: In Development
Target: Complete Admin Dashboard with RBAC and Launchpad

Architectural Decisions

1. Technology Stack Selection

• Framework: Nuxt 3 (SSR/SPA hybrid) - Chosen for its file-based routing, SEO capabilities, and Vue 3 integration
• UI Library: Vuetify 3 - Material Design implementation that provides consistent components and theming
• State Management: Pinia - Vue 3's official state management, lightweight and TypeScript friendly
• TypeScript: Strict mode enabled for type safety and better developer experience
• Build Tool: Vite (via Nuxt) - Fast builds and hot module replacement

2. Project Structure

3. Authentication & RBAC Architecture

JWT Token Structure

Tokens from backend FastAPI /login endpoint must include:

{
  "sub": "user@email.com",
  "role": "admin",
  "rank": 7,
  "scope_level": "region",
  "region_code": "HU-BU",
  "scope_id": 123,
  "exp": 1700000000,
  "iat": 1700000000
}

Pinia Auth Store Features

• Token parsing and validation with jwt-decode
• Automatic token refresh detection
• Role-based permission generation
• Geographical scope validation
• LocalStorage persistence for session continuity

RBAC Implementation

• Role Hierarchy: Superadmin (10) > Admin (7) > Moderator (5) > Salesperson (3)
• Scope Levels: Global > Country > Region > City > District
• Permission System: Dynamic permission generation based on role and rank
• Tile Visibility: Tiles filtered by role, rank, and scope level

4. Middleware Strategy

• Global Auth Middleware: Runs on every route change
• Public Routes: /login, /forgot-password, /reset-password
• Role Validation: Route meta validation with requiredRole, minRank, requiredPermission
• Scope Validation: Geographical scope checking with requiredScopeId and requiredRegionCode
• Automatic Header Injection: Adds auth and scope headers to all API requests

5. Launchpad Tile System

Tile Definition

Each tile includes:

• Unique ID and display title
• Required roles and minimum rank
• Required permissions
• Applicable scope levels
• Icon and color mapping

Dynamic Filtering

• Tiles filtered in real-time based on user's RBAC attributes
• Empty state when no tiles accessible
• Visual indicators for access level (role badges, rank chips)

User Customization

• Per-user tile preferences stored in localStorage
• Position persistence for drag-and-drop reordering
• Visibility toggles for personalized dashboards
• Size customization (small, medium, large)

6. Component Design

TileCard Component

• Responsive card with hover effects
• Role and scope level badges
• Color-coded by tile type
• Click-to-navigate functionality
• Consistent sizing and spacing

Dashboard Layout

• App bar with user menu and role indicators
• Navigation drawer for main sections
• Welcome header with user context
• Grid-based tile layout
• Quick stats section for at-a-glance metrics
• Footer with system status

7. Docker Configuration

Multi-stage Build

1. Builder Stage: Node 20 with full dev dependencies
2. Runner Stage: Optimized production image with non-root user

Port Configuration

• Internal: 3000 (Nuxt default)
• External: 8502 (mapped in docker-compose.yml)
• API Proxy: NUXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL=http://sf_api:8000

Volume Strategy

• Development: Hot-reload with mounted source code
• Production: Built assets only for smaller image size

8. API Integration Strategy

Headers Injection

All authenticated requests automatically include:

• Authorization: Bearer <token>
• X-Scope-Id: <scope_id>
• X-Region-Code: <region_code>
• X-Scope-Level: <scope_level>

Error Handling

• Token expiration detection and auto-logout
• Permission denied redirects to /unauthorized
• Network error handling with user feedback

9. Security Considerations

Client-side Security

• No sensitive data in client-side code
• Token storage in localStorage with expiration checks
• Role validation on both client and server
• XSS protection through Vue's template system

Geographical Isolation

• Scope validation before data display
• Region-based data filtering at API level
• Visual indicators for current scope context

10. Performance Optimizations

Code Splitting

• Route-based code splitting via Nuxt
• Component lazy loading where appropriate
• Vendor chunk optimization

Asset Optimization

• Vuetify tree-shaking in production
• CSS purging for unused styles
• Image optimization pipeline

Caching Strategy

• LocalStorage for user preferences
• Token validation caching
• Tile configuration caching per session

Epic 10 - Ticket 2: Launchpad UI & Modular Tile System (#114)

Date: 2026-03-23 Status: In Progress Goal: Upgrade the static Launchpad into a dynamic, drag-and-drop Grid system where users can rearrange their authorized tiles.

Task Breakdown

Task 1: Drag-and-Drop Grid Implementation

1. Install vuedraggable (or equivalent Vue 3 compatible drag-and-drop grid system)
2. Refactor the Launchpad (Dashboard.vue) to use a draggable grid layout for the tiles
3. Ensure the grid is responsive (e.g., 1 column on mobile, multiple on desktop)

Task 2: Modular Tile Component Framework

1. Create a base TileWrapper.vue component that handles the drag handle (icon), title bar, and RBAC visibility checks
2. Wrap the existing AiLogsTile and SystemHealthTile inside this new wrapper

Task 3: Layout Persistence & "Reset to Default"

1. Update the Pinia store (usePreferencesStore) to handle layout state
2. Maintain a defaultLayout array (hardcoded standard order) and a userLayout array
3. Persist the userLayout to localStorage so the custom layout survives page reloads
4. Add a "Restore Default Layout" (Alapértelmezett elrendezés) UI button on the Launchpad that resets userLayout back to defaultLayout

Implementation Plan

Conclusion

The Epic 10 Admin Frontend Phase 1 & 2 implementation establishes a solid foundation for the Mission Control dashboard. The architecture supports the core requirements of geographical RBAC isolation, modular launchpad tiles, and role-based access control. The system is ready for integration with the backend FastAPI services and can be extended with additional tiles and features as specified in the epic specification.
