# PROJECT: AE Events Badges — Review Form & Print Font Controls

**Created:** 2026-02-27
**Branch:** `ae_app_3x_llm`
**Priority:** HIGH — first live event is Axonius, NYC, mid-April 2026
**Owner:** Scott Idem / One Sky IT

---

## Context

The Events Badges module is mostly complete for navigation and search. Two key pieces of
functional UI remain unbuilt and are needed before the first show:

1. **Badge Review Form** — `ae_comp__badge_review_form.svelte` is currently a stub. It
   needs actual field rendering, edit inputs gated by access level, save/cancel API calls,
   and display-only sections (QR code, print status, option/ticket checkmarks).

2. **Badge Print Font Controls** — The print page header needs screen-only controls
   (hidden during `window.print()`) to bump font sizes for the name, professional title,
   affiliations, and location sections before printing. These only affect the `ae_comp__badge_obj_view.svelte` render — not the page layout/template structural dimensions.

Read `documentation/MODULE__AE_Events_Badges.md` for full module context before starting.

---

## MANDATORY: Before You Start

1. Run `ae_describe event_badge` (MCP tool) to confirm which fields actually exist in the
   DB. Several fields in the spec below may need to be added to `properties_to_save` in
   `src/lib/ae_events/ae_events__event_badge.ts` if they are not already saved to IDB.

2. Fields to specifically confirm exist in `event_badge` schema:
   - `pronouns`, `pronouns_override`
   - `phone`, `phone_override`
   - `allow_tracking`
   - `agree_to_tc`
   - `other_1_code` through `other_8_code` (the "option" fields)
   - `ticket_1_code` through `ticket_8_code`
   - `registration_type`, `registration_type_code`
   - `registration_type_override`, `registration_type_code_override`

3. Run `npx svelte-check` before committing. Baseline is **77 errors** (all pre-existing,
   none in the badge module files). Do not introduce new errors.

4. Do NOT write to `$ae_loc.edit_mode` from any badge component. This was a critical
   bug (fixed 2026-02-27). See `documentation/AE__Permissions_and_Security.md`.

## TASK 1: Badge Review Form (HIGH PRIORITY)

### File to build
`src/routes/events/[event_id]/(badges)/badges/[badge_id]/ae_comp__badge_review_form.svelte`

This component is already imported and used by `review/+page.svelte`. Props it receives:

```typescript
interface Props {
    event_id: string;
    event_badge_id: string;
    lq__event_badge_obj: any;       // Svelte 5 store from liveQuery
    can_edit_fields: string[];      // Which fields this user can edit
    is_staff: boolean;              // True if trusted_access or higher
    log_lvl?: number;
}
```

`can_edit_fields` values:
- `['*']` — administrator (all fields)
- Array of field names — specific editable fields
- `[]` — read-only (shouldn't normally reach this component, but handle it)

### Helper

Use a helper derived inside the component:
```typescript
function can_edit(field: string): boolean {
    return can_edit_fields.includes('*') || can_edit_fields.includes(field);
}
```

### Save / Cancel Pattern

Follow the Journals module pattern (`src/lib/ae_journals/`). Key points:
- Use `import { events_func } from '$lib/ae_events_functions'`
- Call `events_func.update_ae_obj__event_badge({ event_badge_id, event_id, data_kv })`
- Only send changed fields in `data_kv` (compare against `$lq__event_badge_obj` values)
- Show save/cancel buttons only when something has changed (`has_changes` derived)
- Show a success/error state briefly after save (1-2 seconds, then reset)
- Cancel resets local state back to `$lq__event_badge_obj` values
- Use `data-testid="badge-review-save-btn"` and `data-testid="badge-review-cancel-btn"`

### Save API Call

```typescript
await events_func.update_ae_obj__event_badge({
    api_cfg: $ae_api,  // from ae_loc store or passed as prop — check how ae_comp__badge_obj_view.svelte does it
    event_badge_id: event_badge_id,
    event_id: event_id,
    data_kv: { /* only changed fields */ }
});
```

Check `ae_comp__badge_obj_view.svelte` for the existing save pattern — it already works
and can be used as reference.

---

### Section 1: Display-Only Status Bar (all access levels)

Always show at top of form. Read-only. No edit controls.

```
Print Status: [Not yet printed] OR [Printed 3× — first: Jan 5 2026, last: Jan 5 2026]
```

Use `$lq__event_badge_obj.print_count`, `print_first_datetime`, `print_last_datetime`.
Format datetimes with `ae_util.iso_datetime_formatter(dt, 'datetime_iso_12_no_seconds')`.
Import `ae_util` from `$lib/ae_utils/ae_utils`.

---

### Section 2: QR Code (all access levels)

Display the attendee's badge QR code. This is the same QR code shown on the printed badge
itself — scanning it at the badge station triggers automatic badge search and print.

**Check the legacy AE Badge version for existing QR generation code.** Look in:
- `src/lib/ae_events/` for any QR-related utilities
- `ae_comp__badge_obj_view.svelte` — the badge render component almost certainly generates
  a QR code already for the printed badge. Reuse that logic/component if possible.

The QR code value should encode the badge ID or a URL that resolves to the badge.

---

### Section 3: Editable Fields

Render each field as: read-only display when `!can_edit(field)`, or an `<input>` /
`<select>` / `<textarea>` when `can_edit(field)`.

Show `(overridden)` label next to override fields when the override value differs from
the base field value.

#### Attendee-Editable Fields (shown to all access levels with link)

| Field | Input Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `pronouns_override` | text input | Fallback display: `pronouns` |
| `full_name_override` | text input | Fallback display: `full_name` |
| `professional_title_override` | text input | Fallback display: `professional_title` |
| `affiliations_override` | textarea | Fallback display: `affiliations` |
| `phone_override` | text input (tel) | Fallback display: `phone` |
| `location_override` | text input | Fallback display: `location` |
| `allow_tracking` | checkbox | Label: "Allow exhibitor lead scanning" |
| `agree_to_tc` | checkbox | Label: "I agree to the Terms and Conditions" + placeholder T&C text block |

#### Staff-Only Additional Fields (shown when `is_staff === true`)

| Field | Input Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `email_override` | email input | Fallback display: `email` |
| `badge_type_code_override` | select | Options: member, non-member, guest, exhibitor, staff, test; also updates `badge_type_override` text |
| `registration_type_code_override` | select | Same options as badge_type for now; also updates `registration_type_override` |
| `hide` | checkbox | Label: "Hidden from search results" |
| `priority` | number input | |
| `notes` | textarea | |

#### Staff-Only: Options & Tickets (read-edit, shown when `is_staff === true`)

**Other/Options** (`other_1_code` through `other_8_code`):
- If field has a value: show as editable text input with label "Option X"
- If field is empty/null: show faintly as "Option X (empty)" — staff can still set it
- These represent event-specific add-ons or membership indicators

**Tickets** (`ticket_1_code` through `ticket_8_code`):
- Same pattern as options above, label "Ticket X"

#### Attendee-Only: Options & Tickets (display only)

When `!is_staff` and the field has a value: show `[✓] Option X` or `[✓] Ticket X`.
When the field is empty: hide entirely (attendees don't see empty slots).

---

### Section 4: Terms & Conditions Block (all, only when `agree_to_tc` in can_edit_fields)

Placeholder text for now:
```
By checking this box, I confirm that the information on my badge is correct to the best
of my knowledge. I agree that this badge may be used for identification purposes during
the event and that my attendance may be recorded by exhibitors using the lead scanning
feature if I permit it.
```

Show this before the `agree_to_tc` checkbox. If `agree_to_tc` is not in `can_edit_fields`,
hide the entire block.

---

### Field State Pattern (Svelte 5 runes)

```typescript
// Initialize local editable state from badge object
let local_full_name_override = $state($lq__event_badge_obj?.full_name_override ?? '');
let local_pronouns_override = $state($lq__event_badge_obj?.pronouns_override ?? '');
// ... etc for each editable field

// Detect changes
let has_changes = $derived(
    local_full_name_override !== ($lq__event_badge_obj?.full_name_override ?? '')
    || local_pronouns_override !== ($lq__event_badge_obj?.pronouns_override ?? '')
    // ... etc
);

// Build changed-fields-only payload
function build_save_payload(): Record<string, any> {
    const payload: Record<string, any> = {};
    if (local_full_name_override !== ($lq__event_badge_obj?.full_name_override ?? ''))
        payload.full_name_override = local_full_name_override || null;  // empty string → null
    // ... etc
    return payload;
}
```

**Important:** Empty string inputs should save as `null` (clears the override, falls back
to base field). Use `value || null` in the payload.

## TASK 2: Badge Print Font Size Controls (MEDIUM PRIORITY)

### Where to add

`src/routes/events/[event_id]/(badges)/badges/[badge_id]/print/+page.svelte`

Add a screen-only (`print:hidden`) control panel between the header and the badge render.
This panel lets staff adjust font sizes for the four text-heavy sections before clicking Print.

### Controls needed

```
Font Size Controls (screen only, hidden during print):
[Name]     [−] [14px] [+]
[Title]    [−] [12px] [+]
[Affiliations] [−] [11px] [+]
[Location]     [−] [10px] [+]
```

- Start with sensible defaults (match what `ae_comp__badge_obj_view.svelte` currently uses)
- Min/max per field (e.g., 8px–24px for name, 7px–18px for others)
- Pass the sizes as props into `ae_comp__badge_obj_view`

### Props to add to `ae_comp__badge_obj_view.svelte`

`ae_comp__badge_obj_view.svelte` currently has internal font size logic. It needs to
accept optional override props:

```typescript
// New optional props:
font_size_name?: number;            // px
font_size_title?: number;           // px
font_size_affiliations?: number;    // px
font_size_location?: number;        // px
```

When these props are provided, use them instead of the internally computed sizes.
When not provided, fall back to existing auto-sizing behavior.

**IMPORTANT:** Do NOT touch structural dimensions (overall badge width/height, header/footer
sizes, template layout). Only the text content font sizes.

## Key Files

| File | Role |
|---|---|
| `[badge_id]/ae_comp__badge_review_form.svelte` | **BUILD THIS** — review form stub |
| `[badge_id]/ae_comp__badge_obj_view.svelte` | Badge render + print button; add font size props |
| `[badge_id]/print/+page.svelte` | Print page; add font size control panel |
| `[badge_id]/review/+page.svelte` | Review page; already wired, passes `can_edit_fields` |
| `src/lib/ae_events/ae_events__event_badge.ts` | API functions: `update_ae_obj__event_badge` |
| `src/lib/ae_events/db_events.ts` | Dexie schema — `properties_to_save` for badge |
| `src/lib/ae_utils/ae_utils.ts` | `ae_util.iso_datetime_formatter()` |
| `documentation/MODULE__AE_Events_Badges.md` | Full module reference |
| `documentation/AE__Permissions_and_Security.md` | Permission flags, edit_mode rules |
| `documentation/GUIDE__AE_API_V3_for_Frontend.md` | V3 API reference |

## Access Level Reference

```typescript
// From $ae_loc store (persisted localStorage)
$ae_loc.trusted_access       // true = trusted and above (onsite staff)
$ae_loc.administrator_access // true = administrator and above
$ae_loc.edit_mode            // boolean — user preference toggle (NEVER write to this from components)
```

`is_staff` prop on the review form = `administrator_access || trusted_access`.

## Patterns to Follow

- **Canonical module reference:** `src/lib/ae_journals/` — most complete, most advanced
- **Svelte 5 runes:** `$state`, `$derived`, `$derived.by()`, `$effect` — no legacy `$:` syntax
- **Icons:** Lucide Svelte only — `import { Save, X, Check, ... } from 'lucide-svelte'`
- **No Font Awesome** (`fas fa-*`) anywhere in the badge module
- **Styling:** Tailwind CSS v4 + Skeleton UI utility classes (`btn`, `preset-tonal-*`, `input`, `card`)
- **Commits:** Atomic — one component per commit; run `npx svelte-check` before every commit

---

## What NOT to Do

- Do NOT touch `@page` CSS or badge template structural dimensions — print layout is out of scope
- Do NOT write to `$ae_loc.edit_mode` from any component
- Do NOT connect `mod_badges_json.edit_permissions` yet — hardcoded field lists are intentional for now
- Do NOT implement the email API — `send_review_email()` placeholder stays as `alert()`
- Do NOT add `person_passcode` DB field — out of scope for this sprint

---

## Testing

Run existing badge tests after any changes:
```bash
npm run test:unit
npx playwright test tests/events/badges/
```

Baseline: all badge tests passing as of 2026-02-26 (`f5e98b8c`).

Add `data-testid` attributes to key interactive elements:
- `badge-review-save-btn`
- `badge-review-cancel-btn`
- `badge-review-full-name-input`
- `badge-review-agree-to-tc-checkbox`
