admin 427d8ac352 docs(review): add handoff document for UI audit work
Review/handoff-ui-audit.md is a focused handoff for a fresh agent taking
over the UI/UX audit and fix cycle (Sprints 1, 2, 3). It complements
docs/HANDOFF.md (project-wide) rather than duplicating it.

Covers:
- Commit table (f3e4a44 / ccc70aa / f5fb755 / e90a9d6) and deploy
  status (Sprint 1 deployed, Sprints 2-3 awaiting deploy).
- Per-sprint file-level diff summary so the next agent can audit the
  changes without re-reading the audit doc.
- Environment quirks: deployment host is not this machine; psql lives
  in the db container; frontend/src/lib/ is force-added because of a
  pre-existing .gitignore bug; pre-existing WIP in git status; ESLint
  not configured.
- Active risks: backend migration not yet run; Dashboard Undo rebuilds
  not restores; S3.5 a11y caveats.
- The 9 explicit follow-up items in audit \xa7Future.
- Quick-start for the next agent.

Meal Planner

Self-hosted meal planning system that integrates with Lucky California grocery store, sends weekly meal proposals via email to family members, generates shopping lists, and learns from feedback.

Background

This project was born out of frustration with meal kit services (Blue Apron → EveryPlate → HungryRoot → Sunbasket) that:

  • Escalate costs to 3x ingredient markup
  • Fall into repetitive meal rhythms
  • Force users to log into apps to manage selections
  • Don't integrate with home pantry items

Features

  • Grocery Integration: Scrapes Lucky California weekly ads and sales
  • Family Approval Workflow: Email proposals with approve/deny; one denial swaps the meal
  • Shopping List Generation: Weekly list grouped by store aisles, highlighting sales, with interactive checkboxes to track purchased items
  • Pantry Integration: Specify home items to incorporate into suggestions
  • Web UI: Modern interface for the whole family
  • Learning: Feedback-based meal recommendations, with weekly auto-discovery of new recipes from external APIs when family preferences are signaled
  • Recipe Images: Scraped from public recipe sites, AI fallback available
  • Unit Conversion: Converts recipe quantities (cups, tbsp, lb) to grocery units for accurate cost estimates

Architecture

  • Backend: Python/FastAPI
  • Database: PostgreSQL
  • Frontend: React + Tailwind CSS
  • Email: SendGrid
  • Hosting: Docker Compose with nginx reverse proxy

Documentation

Quick Start

Family Profile

Household: 2 adults, 2 children

  • One adult likes mushrooms, one child OK with them
  • Three family members do NOT like mushrooms
  • No allergies
  • Calorie, budget, and health conscious eating

Approval Workflow

  1. System generates 7-day meal plan based on sales, dietary constraints, budget, variety
  2. Email sent to both adults with meal previews
  3. One denial = meal swapped; no denials = auto-approved
  4. Shopping list generated after approval
