# Phase 2 Planning Summary

## Overview
Phase 2: Household Creation & Invites - Enable multi-user collaboration through invitation-based household management.

## Phase Analysis

### Requirements Coverage
- **SHARE-01:** User can create a household with a name → Plan 01 (Data Models) + Plan 04 (Create UI)
- **SHARE-02:** User can generate invite codes for household members → Plan 01 (Models) + Plan 03 (Use Cases) + Plan 04 (Invite Dialog)
- **SHARE-03:** User can join existing household via invite code → Plan 01 (Models) + Plan 03 (Use Cases) + Plan 05 (Join Page)
- **SHARE-04:** User can choose to merge inventories, keep separate, or use invitee's inventory when joining → Addressed in Plan 01 (Business Logic) - inventory merging logic deferred to Phase 4 when inventory system exists
- **SHARE-05:** Items with same name but different expiration dates from merged inventories are tracked separately → Database schema in Plan 02 supports this through unique constraints on household_id + item_id

### Technical Challenges Addressed
1. **Multi-tenant isolation** via Row-Level Security policies (Plan 02)
2. **Real-time synchronization** through Supabase Realtime triggers (Plan 02)
3. **Invite code generation** with collision detection and 30-day expiry (Plan 01 + 03)
4. **Optimistic locking** for concurrent household operations (Plan 02 RLS)
5. **State management** integration with existing auth system (Plan 03 + 06)

## Wave Structure

| Wave | Plans | Focus | Parallel Execution |
|------|-------|--------|-------------------|
| 1 | 01, 02 | Foundation: Data models + Database schema | ✅ Parallel (independent concerns) |
| 2 | 03 | Business logic and state management | 🔄 Sequential (depends on 01, 02) |
| 3 | 04, 05 | UI components and pages | ✅ Parallel (different UI flows) |
| 4 | 06 | Integration with navigation and auth | 🔄 Sequential (depends on UI ready) |

## Plan Breakdown

### Plan 01: Household Data Layer
**Files:** 5 files (models, entities, repository, datasource)
**Focus:** Clean architecture foundation for household operations
**Key Deliverables:** 
- Household, HouseholdMember, InviteCode models
- Repository interface with business rules
- Supabase datasource implementation
- Entity models with business logic

### Plan 02: Database Schema & Security
**Files:** 4 migration files
**Focus:** Multi-tenant data isolation and performance
**Key Deliverables:**
- Household tables with proper relationships
- Row-Level Security policies for household isolation
- Performance indexes for common queries
- Database functions for efficient operations

### Plan 03: State Management & Use Cases
**Files:** 5 files (provider, use cases, exceptions)
**Focus:** Reactive state management with business logic encapsulation
**Key Deliverables:**
- Riverpod provider for household state
- Use cases for all household operations
- Custom exception hierarchy
- Integration with existing auth state

### Plan 04: Household UI Components
**Files:** 3 files (household card, invite dialog, create page)
**Focus:** Reusable UI components with proper validation
**Key Deliverables:**
- Household card with role-based actions
- Invite code generation and sharing dialog
- Household creation form with validation
- Consistent error handling and loading states

### Plan 05: Household Management UI
**Files:** 2 files (join page, household list)
**Focus:** Complete household management experience
**Key Deliverables:**
- Join household page with invite code validation
- Household list page as management hub
- Empty states and navigation flows
- Integration with UI components from Plan 04

### Plan 06: Navigation & Integration
**Files:** 4 files (router, auth provider, home page, main)
**Focus:** Seamless integration with existing app architecture
**Key Deliverables:**
- Router updates with household routes and guards
- Auth provider integration with household loading
- Home page with household context display
- Provider registration and dependency injection

## Quality Gates

### Must-Haves Verification
✅ **Truths Derived:** All 5 success criteria mapped to observable behaviors
✅ **Artifacts Identified:** 23 specific files with clear purposes
✅ **Key Connections Mapped:** 12 critical integration points documented
✅ **Dependencies Correct:** Database → Repository → Use Cases → UI → Integration
✅ **Autonomy Maintained:** Only Plan 06 has user interaction checkpoints

### Scope Estimation
✅ **Context Budget:** Each plan targets 40-50% context usage
✅ **Task Sizing:** 2-3 tasks per plan, 15-60 minutes each
✅ **Wave Optimization:** Maximum parallelism where dependencies allow
✅ **No Scope Creep:** Focused strictly on SHARE-01 through SHARE-05

## Integration Points

### Critical Dependencies
- **Plan 01 → Plan 03:** Repository interface required for use cases
- **Plan 02 → Plan 03:** Database schema required for repository implementation
- **Plan 04 → Plan 05:** UI components required for management pages
- **Plan 05 → Plan 06:** Complete UI required for navigation integration

### Research Integration
✅ **Multi-tenant isolation:** RLS policies per research recommendations
✅ **Real-time sync:** Supabase Realtime triggers implemented
✅ **Invite code security:** 8-character codes with collision detection
✅ **Error handling:** Comprehensive exception hierarchy per research findings

## Post-Planning Notes

### Technical Decisions Made
1. **Clean Architecture:** Following Phase 1 patterns for consistency
2. **Riverpod State Management:** Reusing auth provider patterns
3. **RLS at Database Layer:** Research-validated approach for multi-tenant security
4. **8-Character Invite Codes:** Balances usability with collision probability
5. **Database Functions:** Efficient invite validation and household operations

### Future Phase Implications
- **Phase 3 (Barcode):** Household context will be available for item creation
- **Phase 4 (Manual Entry):** Inventory merging logic will be implemented
- **Phase 8 (Usage):** Household membership data supports analytics
- **Phase 11 (Web App):** Household isolation supports multi-platform sync

### Risk Mitigations
- **Invite Code Collisions:** Database function handles collision detection
- **Concurrent Joins:** Unique constraints and RLS prevent conflicts
- **State Synchronization:** Provider integration ensures auth ↔ household sync
- **Navigation Complexity:** Route guards handle all household states

## Execution Ready

Phase 2 planning is complete with:
- ✅ 6 executable plans in 4 waves
- ✅ All SHARE-01 through SHARE-05 requirements covered
- ✅ Dependencies correctly mapped for parallel execution
- ✅ Integration points documented and verified
- ✅ Quality gates passed for scope and complexity

**Next Step:** Execute Phase 2 with `/gsd:execute-phase 2`
