# App Header Wayfinding Implementation Plan > **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking. **Goal:** Fill the empty app header with wayfinding — a route-driven breadcrumb (left), a signed-in user menu + compact global search (right) — and render the configured `app_name` for the brand + login. **Architecture:** A page-driven breadcrumb (a `BreadcrumbProvider` context + `useBreadcrumb(trail)` hook, parallel to #57's `useDocumentTitle`) that each route sets and the header renders. A reusable `ui/menu.tsx` Base UI Menu wrapper powers a `UserMenu` (email/role + Sign out). A `HeaderSearch` input navigates to `/search?q=`. Brand + login read `useConfig().app_name`. No new dependency. **Tech Stack:** React 19 + TS + pnpm, Tailwind v4, react-router 7, react-i18next, Base UI (`@base-ui/react/menu` — namespace `Menu`), lucide-react, Vitest + RTL + MSW + Storybook. Test runner: `pnpm test` (single pass). **Conventions:** pnpm; **no `any`/`eslint-disable`/`@ts-ignore`**; no codename; en/sv parity; **ui/ files = no-semicolon base-nova style** (match `alert-dialog.tsx`); **app source (shell/, lib/, pages) = double-quote + semicolon**; stories = single-quote + no-semicolon; token classes only (`check:colors`); guard DOM globals. **Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-07-header-wayfinding-design.md` **Key facts (verified):** `useMe()` (`api/queries.ts:30`) → `UserView | null` = `{ email, id, role }`. `useLogout()` (`queries.ts:129`). `useVocabularies()` (`queries.ts:258`) → `VocabularyView[]` with `.key` (the display name). Current logout flow in `app-shell.tsx`: `logout.mutate(undefined, { onSuccess: () => navigate("/login", { replace: true }) })`. Base UI render-prop pattern: see `ui/alert-dialog.tsx` (namespace import, `data-slot`, `cn()`). **File structure:** - `web/src/components/ui/menu.tsx` (new) + `menu.stories.tsx` (new) - `web/src/shell/breadcrumb-context.ts` (new), `breadcrumb-provider.tsx` (new), `use-breadcrumb.ts` (new), `breadcrumb.tsx` (new render component) - `web/src/shell/user-menu.tsx` (new), `header-search.tsx` (new) - Modify: `web/src/shell/app-shell.tsx`, `sidebar.tsx`, `auth/login-page.tsx`, the 9 page/detail components, `i18n/en.json`, `i18n/sv.json`, `shell/app-shell.test.tsx`, `auth/login-page.test.tsx`. --- # Task 1: Render `app_name` for brand + login; remove dead `app.name` key **Files:** `web/src/shell/sidebar.tsx`, `web/src/auth/login-page.tsx`, `web/src/i18n/en.json`, `web/src/i18n/sv.json`, `web/src/auth/login-page.test.tsx`. - [ ] **Step 1: Sidebar brand.** In `web/src/shell/sidebar.tsx` add `import { useConfig } from "../config/config-context";`, get `const { app_name } = useConfig();` in the component, and change line ~76: `{!collapsed && {t("app.name")}}` → `{!collapsed && {app_name}}`. - [ ] **Step 2: Login.** In `web/src/auth/login-page.tsx`: add `import { useConfig } from "../config/config-context";`, `const { app_name } = useConfig();`. Change the `

` (line ~38) to `{app_name}` and the title effect (line ~18) to `document.title = app_name;` with deps `[app_name]`. Remove the now-unused `t` for that purpose only if `t` is otherwise unused (check — login uses `t` for field labels/errors, so keep the `useTranslation` import). - [ ] **Step 3: Remove the dead i18n key.** Delete the `"app": { "name": "..." }` entry from BOTH `web/src/i18n/en.json` and `web/src/i18n/sv.json` (grep first: `grep -rn 'app\.name\|"app"' web/src` — confirm no remaining `t("app.name")` after Steps 1–2). en/sv must stay in parity (remove from both). - [ ] **Step 4: Update login test if needed.** Read `web/src/auth/login-page.test.tsx`. If it asserts the heading text via `t("app.name")` / "Collection", update it to the config default `"Collection Management System"` (the value `useConfig` returns in tests via `DEFAULTS`). Do NOT weaken; just match the new source. - [ ] **Step 5: Verify (run vitest once for these files).** `cd web && pnpm vitest run src/auth src/shell/app-shell.test.tsx && pnpm typecheck && pnpm lint` Expected: PASS. The sidebar brand + login now show "Collection Management System" (config default) in tests. - [ ] **Step 6: Commit** ```bash git add web/src/shell/sidebar.tsx web/src/auth/login-page.tsx web/src/i18n/en.json web/src/i18n/sv.json web/src/auth/login-page.test.tsx git commit -m "feat(web): render configured app_name for brand + login; drop hardcoded app.name (#54)" ``` --- # Task 2: `ui/menu.tsx` Base UI Menu wrapper + story (validate by running) **Files:** `web/src/components/ui/menu.tsx` (new), `web/src/components/ui/menu.stories.tsx` (new). - [ ] **Step 1: Read the reference** `web/src/components/ui/alert-dialog.tsx` for the exact house pattern (namespace import, `data-slot`, `cn()`, no semicolons, token classes). The Base UI Menu API is `import { Menu } from "@base-ui/react/menu"` then `Menu.Root`, `Menu.Trigger`, `Menu.Portal`, `Menu.Positioner`, `Menu.Popup`, `Menu.Item`, `Menu.Separator`. **This is novel — you MUST validate the exact part tree by running the story (Step 3).** - [ ] **Step 2: Implement** `web/src/components/ui/menu.tsx` (no-semicolon style). Export: `Menu` (Root re-export with data-slot), `MenuTrigger`, `MenuContent` (composes Portal + Positioner + Popup), `MenuItem`, `MenuSeparator`. Skeleton (adapt class/props to what runs): ```tsx import { Menu as MenuPrimitive } from "@base-ui/react/menu" import { cn } from "@/lib/utils" function Menu({ ...props }: MenuPrimitive.Root.Props) { return } function MenuTrigger({ ...props }: MenuPrimitive.Trigger.Props) { return } function MenuContent({ className, sideOffset = 6, align = "end", ...props }: MenuPrimitive.Popup.Props & { sideOffset?: number; align?: MenuPrimitive.Positioner.Props["align"] }) { return ( ) } function MenuItem({ className, ...props }: MenuPrimitive.Item.Props) { return ( ) } function MenuSeparator({ className, ...props }: MenuPrimitive.Separator.Props) { return ( ) } export { Menu, MenuTrigger, MenuContent, MenuItem, MenuSeparator } ``` IMPORTANT: the exact prop names (`sideOffset`, `align`, `Popup` vs `Popup`+`Positioner` arrangement) MUST be confirmed against the installed `@base-ui/react` types — open `web/node_modules/@base-ui/react/menu/` or check via the editor/types and adjust. Do not guess; if a prop/part errors at typecheck or runtime, fix it to match the real API. No `data-[highlighted]` raw colors — `bg-accent`/`text-accent-foreground` are tokens (OK). - [ ] **Step 3: Story** `web/src/components/ui/menu.stories.tsx` (single-quote, no-semicolon). Render a `Menu` with a `MenuTrigger` (a Button via `render` or as child) + `MenuContent` with two `MenuItem`s; a `play` test that opens the menu (click the trigger) and asserts an item is visible: ```tsx import type { Meta, StoryObj } from '@storybook/react-vite' import { expect } from 'storybook/test' import { Menu, MenuContent, MenuItem, MenuSeparator, MenuTrigger } from './menu' import { Button } from './button' const meta = { component: Menu, tags: ['ai-generated'], } satisfies Meta export default meta type Story = StoryObj export const Default: Story = { render: () => ( Open} /> First Second ), play: async ({ canvas, userEvent }) => { await userEvent.click(canvas.getByRole('button', { name: 'Open' })) await expect(await canvas.findByText('First')).toBeInTheDocument() }, } ``` If `MenuTrigger render={ } />
{me.email}
{me.role}
{t("auth.signOut")}
); } ``` Adjust `MenuTrigger`/`render` to the form Task 2 validated. The `MenuItem` action prop may be `onClick` or Base UI's `onClick`/`render` — match the wrapper. Ensure clicking it triggers `onSignOut`. - [ ] **Step 3: HeaderSearch** `web/src/shell/header-search.tsx`: ```tsx import { Search } from "lucide-react"; import { useState, type FormEvent } from "react"; import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next"; import { useNavigate } from "react-router-dom"; import { Input } from "@/components/ui/input"; export function HeaderSearch() { const { t } = useTranslation(); const navigate = useNavigate(); const [q, setQ] = useState(""); const onSubmit = (e: FormEvent) => { e.preventDefault(); const query = q.trim(); if (query) navigate(`/search?q=${encodeURIComponent(query)}`); }; return (
setQ(e.target.value)} placeholder={t("search.headerPlaceholder")} aria-label={t("nav.search")} className="w-48 pl-8 lg:w-64" />
); } ``` - [ ] **Step 4: Tests.** - `web/src/shell/user-menu.test.tsx`: render `` via `renderApp` with MSW returning a `me` user (reuse `web/src/test/handlers.ts`; if `/api/admin/me` isn't in handlers, add a handler or override per-test). Assert the email shows; open the menu; click Sign out → assert the logout POST fired (MSW) / navigation. Mirror how the existing `app-shell.test.tsx` tested sign-out. If asserting navigation is awkward, assert the logout request was made. - `web/src/shell/header-search.test.tsx`: render `` via `renderApp`; type "amphora" + submit (Enter); assert navigation to `/search?q=amphora` (use a `MemoryRouter` location probe or render a small route tree that shows the location — mirror existing navigation tests; if none, render with a `*` route echoing `useLocation().search`). - [ ] **Step 5: Verify (vitest once).** `cd web && pnpm vitest run src/shell/user-menu.test.tsx src/shell/header-search.test.tsx && pnpm typecheck && pnpm lint` Expected: PASS. - [ ] **Step 6: Commit** ```bash git add web/src/shell/user-menu.tsx web/src/shell/header-search.tsx web/src/shell/user-menu.test.tsx web/src/shell/header-search.test.tsx web/src/i18n/en.json web/src/i18n/sv.json git commit -m "feat(web): UserMenu (email/role + sign out) + HeaderSearch components (#54)" ``` --- # Task 6: Header assembly + app-shell test + final gate **Files:** `web/src/shell/app-shell.tsx`, `web/src/shell/app-shell.test.tsx`. - [ ] **Step 1: Assemble the header.** In `web/src/shell/app-shell.tsx`: - Import `HeaderSearch` and `UserMenu`. - Remove the standalone Sign out `
