# Web UI > Domain: `web-ui` · **Canonical specification.** Synced from change `web-ui-rework`. > > This is the merged end-state of the Manage web-frontend rework. It captures the durable, > post-change contracts (the rework's end-state), not the migration steps. The per-slice delivery > strategy and per-slice build/lint gate were part of the change's migration process and are > intentionally not carried into this canonical spec; they remain in the change record > (`spec.md` / `tasks.md`) under `openspec/changes/web-ui-rework/`. ## Purpose Define WHAT must be true of the Manage web frontend after the rework: a single coherent UI on **shadcn/ui + Tailwind v4 + lucide-react**, a **thin-dashboard** observability model (no in-app charts; Grafana deep-links preserved), **TanStack Table** data grids with a **visibility-only** feature set (no sorting, no resizing), a **reconciled information architecture**, and **zero** `@mui/*` / `@emotion/*` / `recharts` / `d3` / `theme.ts` residue. This spec is acceptance-focused and verifiable; it deliberately does not prescribe implementation. ## Requirements ### Requirement: Single design system The frontend MUST render every surface using only **shadcn/ui** primitives, **Tailwind v4** `@theme` tokens (configured in `frontend/src/index.css`), and **lucide-react** icons. The application MUST NOT introduce any additional component or styling library, and MUST NOT retain any `@mui/*` or `@emotion/*` import or dependency. #### Scenario: No MUI or Emotion remains in source or dependencies - GIVEN the `web-ui-rework` change is fully applied - WHEN a recursive search of `frontend/src` is performed for imports from `@mui/material`, `@mui/icons-material`, `@mui/x-data-grid`, `@emotion/react`, or `@emotion/styled` - THEN the search returns zero matches - AND none of `@mui/material`, `@mui/icons-material`, `@mui/x-data-grid`, `@emotion/react`, or `@emotion/styled` is listed in `frontend/package.json` #### Scenario: No additional design system adopted - GIVEN the rework is applied - WHEN `frontend/package.json` dependencies are inspected - THEN no component or styling library other than the existing shadcn/ui + Tailwind v4 + lucide-react + Radix primitives stack is present ### Requirement: No in-app charting and orphaned charting dependencies removed The frontend MUST NOT render any in-app chart, sparkline, time-series canvas, or log-stream visualization. The unused `recharts` and `d3` dependencies MUST be absent from `frontend/package.json`, and the no-op `frontend/src/theme.ts` shim MUST be deleted. Observability metric surfaces MUST be expressed only as numeric values, status Badges, or outbound Grafana deep-link affordances. #### Scenario: Charting dependencies are gone - GIVEN the rework is applied - WHEN `frontend/package.json` is inspected - THEN neither `recharts` nor `d3` is listed as a dependency - AND a recursive search of `frontend/src` for imports from `recharts`, `d3`, or `d3-*` returns zero matches #### Scenario: No chart component exists - GIVEN the rework is applied - WHEN the migrated pages and components are inspected - THEN no component renders an in-app chart, sparkline, or graph canvas - AND metric surfaces render only as numeric values, status Badges, or outbound Grafana deep-links #### Scenario: Theme shim removed - GIVEN the foundation slice is applied - WHEN `frontend/src/theme.ts` is checked for existence - THEN it does not exist - AND no import of `theme` or `getAppTheme` remains in `frontend/src` ### Requirement: Design tokens — primary color and repurposed status cues The primary color MUST resolve to `#4f8cff` in both the light and dark themes. The existing `chart-1` through `chart-5` CSS tokens in `frontend/src/index.css` MUST be retained and documented as the single source of truth for **status / Grafana-link semantic color cues** (info / success / warning / destructive / neutral-accent), and MUST NOT be dropped. The Badge component MUST expose `success` and `warning` variants that draw color from these cues. #### Scenario: Primary color unchanged - GIVEN the rework is applied - WHEN `frontend/src/index.css` is inspected - THEN the primary color token resolves to `#4f8cff` in both the `@theme` (light) and `.dark` blocks #### Scenario: Chart tokens retained and semantically repurposed - GIVEN the rework is applied - WHEN `frontend/src/index.css` is inspected - THEN the `chart-1` through `chart-5` tokens are still defined in both blocks - AND they are documented/applied as status / Grafana-link semantic cues (info, success, warning, destructive, neutral-accent) - AND status Badges draw their variant colors from these cues ### Requirement: Comfortable visual density with no compact mode Every surface MUST use comfortable density: page padding `p-4 md:p-6` (matching the migrated shell `
`) and card spacing `gap-4`. The application MUST NOT introduce a compact or dense mode for any table, list, or panel. #### Scenario: Comfortable density on every page - GIVEN each migrated page is rendered - WHEN the page content container is inspected - THEN it uses comfortable padding consistent with the shell (`p-4 md:p-6`) and card gaps (`gap-4`) #### Scenario: No compact mode exists - GIVEN the rework is applied - WHEN the frontend is inspected for a density/compact toggle or compact spacing classes on tables - THEN no compact or dense mode exists for Media, Users, Backups runs, or any other surface ### Requirement: Status Badge semantic variants The Badge component MUST provide variants covering success (healthy/OK), info (default), neutral (secondary), warning, and destructive (error / firing alert). Status displays across Backups, Observability, and Users MUST map status values to these variants consistently via the repurposed `chart-*` cues. #### Scenario: Healthy status uses a success cue - GIVEN a monitoring target or backup run is in a healthy/OK state - WHEN its status is rendered - THEN it displays a Badge using the success color cue (from `chart-2`) #### Scenario: Firing alert uses a destructive cue - GIVEN an Alertmanager alert is firing - WHEN its status is rendered - THEN it displays a destructive Badge (from `chart-4`) ### Requirement: Information architecture — Backups top-level navigation The **Backups** surface MUST be exposed as a top-level navigation item in the sidebar, linking to the existing `/backups` route. #### Scenario: Backups is reachable from the sidebar - GIVEN the application shell is rendered - WHEN the sidebar navigation items are inspected - THEN a top-level "Backups" item is present - AND selecting it navigates to `/backups` and renders the Backups page ### Requirement: Information architecture — Media route and legacy redirects The Media/Applications surface MUST be named **"Media"** going forward, and its canonical route MUST be `/media`. The legacy `/applications` route MUST redirect (replace) to `/media`, mirroring the existing `/monitoring` → `/observability` redirect. The OIDC authentication model and the `react-router-dom` routing structure MUST be otherwise unchanged. #### Scenario: Media route is the canonical entry - GIVEN the rework is applied - WHEN the sidebar "Media" item is selected - THEN the browser navigates to `/media` - AND the Media surface is rendered under the name "Media" #### Scenario: Legacy /applications redirects to /media - GIVEN the application is running - WHEN a user navigates directly to `/applications` - THEN the client router issues a replace redirect to `/media` - AND the Media surface is rendered (same pattern as `/monitoring` → `/observability`) #### Scenario: Auth and routing model unchanged - GIVEN the rework is applied - WHEN the authentication and routing setup is inspected - THEN the OIDC flow (`auth.ts`, `react-oidc-context`) and the `react-router-dom` structure are unchanged - AND only nav items, the `/media` route, and the `/applications` redirect differ from the prior state ### Requirement: Data tables use TanStack Table with visibility-only features The Media and FileBrowser data grids MUST be built on `@tanstack/react-table` behind a shared `DataTable` wrapper styled with the shadcn `Table` primitive. The rebuilt tables MUST reproduce only the features in use: **column visibility**, **pagination** (where present), **row selection**, and **row click**. The tables MUST NOT add column sorting, and MUST NOT add column resizing. #### Scenario: No sorting added - GIVEN the rebuilt Media and FileBrowser tables are rendered - WHEN the table headers and column definitions are inspected - THEN no `getSortedRowModel`, sortable-column behavior, or sort affordance is present #### Scenario: No column resizing added - GIVEN the rebuilt Media and FileBrowser tables are rendered - WHEN the column edges are inspected - THEN no column-resize handles or resizing behavior are present ### Requirement: Data table interaction parity preserved The rebuilt tables MUST preserve their pre-rework interaction behavior: column visibility (Media's 15 columns and FileBrowser's 5 columns), pagination (Media, server-driven via the query layer), row selection, and row click. #### Scenario: Column visibility preserved - GIVEN the rebuilt tables are rendered - WHEN a user toggles the visibility of a column - THEN on Media the toggleable columns match `title, series, season, episode, type, year, runtime, size, bitrate, hdr, video, resolution, date_added, library, path` - AND on FileBrowser the toggleable columns match `type, name, ext, size, modified` #### Scenario: Media pagination parity - GIVEN the rebuilt Media table is rendered with more rows than one page - WHEN a user changes the page size and navigates between pages - THEN the visible rows, total count, and page index update consistently with the pre-rework behavior (page index/size drive the query layer's limit/offset) #### Scenario: Row selection preserved - GIVEN the rebuilt tables are rendered - WHEN a user selects and deselects rows via the selection control - THEN the selection state is maintained across pagination and matches the pre-rework model #### Scenario: Row click behavior preserved - GIVEN the rebuilt tables are rendered - WHEN a user clicks a Media row - THEN navigation occurs to the file browser at the clicked item's path - AND WHEN a user clicks a FileBrowser row - THEN that file is selected for ffprobe preview ### Requirement: Thin-dashboard observability parity The Observability surface MUST continue to render Alertmanager alerts, Prometheus target health, monitoring-machine status, and Grafana deep-link cards (kiosk iframe URLs and Explore links). The rework MUST NOT introduce any in-app chart, and MUST preserve all existing Grafana deep-link affordances. #### Scenario: Alerts and target health still shown - GIVEN the Observability page is rendered with Alertmanager and Prometheus data available - THEN Alertmanager alerts and Prometheus target health are displayed as before the rework #### Scenario: Grafana deep-links preserved - GIVEN the Observability page is rendered - WHEN a Grafana deep-link card is inspected - THEN the outbound kiosk/explore URL with instance variables is preserved - AND a consistent external-link affordance is present across the surface #### Scenario: No in-app chart on observability - GIVEN the Observability page is rendered - WHEN metric surfaces are inspected - THEN no in-app chart is rendered; metrics are numbers, status Badges, or Grafana deep-links only ### Requirement: Frontend component test harness A **Vitest** + **@testing-library/react** component test harness MUST be present and configured. Migrated components MUST be covered by behavioral component tests. The legacy `frontend/tests/*.mjs` `node --test` suites MUST continue to run and pass. #### Scenario: Vitest harness is present - GIVEN the rework is applied - WHEN `frontend/package.json` and config are inspected - THEN Vitest and `@testing-library/react` are installed - AND a Vitest test script is configured #### Scenario: Legacy node:test suites keep passing - GIVEN the rework is applied - WHEN the `frontend/tests/*.mjs` suites are executed with `node --test` - THEN all pre-existing assertions still pass ### Requirement: Documentation reflects the post-rework architecture `docs/REQUIREMENTS.md` MUST reflect the post-rework UX and architecture: the single design system (shadcn/ui + Tailwind + lucide-react), the thin-dashboard observability model (no in-app charts), TanStack tables, the `/media` route with `/applications` redirect, the Backups top-level nav item, and the removal of `@mui/*`, `@emotion/*`, `recharts`, and `d3`. #### Scenario: Requirements doc reflects the rework - GIVEN the final slice is applied - WHEN `docs/REQUIREMENTS.md` is inspected - THEN it documents the shadcn/ui + Tailwind + lucide-react stack, the thin-dashboard observability model (no in-app charts), the `/media` route with `/applications` redirect, the Backups top-level nav item, and the removed dependencies ### Requirement: No backend API or frontend data-contract changes The rework MUST NOT change any backend API contract or any type in `frontend/src/types/*`. If a UI simplification forces a contract change, that change MUST be flagged and approved separately. #### Scenario: Frontend data contracts unchanged - GIVEN the rework is applied - WHEN `frontend/src/types/*` and the backend API surface are compared to the pre-rework state - THEN no backend endpoint, response shape, or shared frontend type is altered by this change
