admin 62dfc1eb4a docs(review): Sprint 4 verification log + plan/handoff/audit updates
Sprint 4 (F7 + F6) is now documented across the project:

- Review/sprint4-verification.md: new 100-line deploy + smoke-check
  doc. Frontend-only deploy (git pull + docker compose up -d --build
  frontend). 5 smoke-check tables: A) success toasts still work for
  all 11 actions, B) error path shows FastAPI detail (network-down
  is the easiest test; full Pydantic 422 verification via curl +
  DevTools 'Edit and resend'), C) pre-flight toasts still fire
  without a network call, D) plan-status Badge has correct
  aria-label in DevTools, E) Sprint 1-3 regression spot-check.
  Includes rollback instructions (single-commit revert).

- fix-ui-audit.md: new Sprint 4 section with full per-task notes
  (S4.1 F7 implementation details, S4.2 F6 aria-label, S4.3
  verification gate). 'Done when (overall)' block updated to 4
  sprints + 7 commits + 16 findings closed. No new commit in
  fix-ui-audit.md for the F8/F9 §Future addendum (those are noted
  in Review/handoff-ui-audit.md but live in the doc/proposals/
  tree, not in the UI-audit plan).

- Review/handoff-ui-audit.md: updated to a 4-sprint cycle. TL;DR
  table includes the d71b67a row, file-list includes the new
  verification doc, file-level diff summary gains 5 new rows for
  Sprint 4, §Future list now strikethroughs F6 and F7, and the
  Quick-start deploy commands list Sprint 4.

- Review/ui-nielsen-audit.md: new Sprint 4 status block at the
  top with the F7/F6 changes, the no-backend-changes note, and
  a cross-ref to the new verification log.

- docs/HANDOFF.md: Last-updated line bumped to 4 sprints / 7
  commits / 16 findings. New 'Sprint 4' subsection in the
  2026-06-03 session block. Commit table gained the d71b67a row.
  Files-modified list gained the lib/toast.tsx, App.tsx, and
  three pages changes for Sprint 4 (with B-tags preserved).

No code changes; the 5 pre-existing WIP files (backend/app/api/
meals.py, recipes.py, schemas/recipe.py, frontend/src/api/index.ts,
nginx/nginx.conf) are deliberately not staged.

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

# Clone and start
docker-compose up -d

# View logs
docker-compose logs -f

# Stop

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
