User policy decision (2026-06-05, exact): 'Hard filter. If it is denied
this week twice, it should be considered denied for good.'
The planner had no cross-week memory of denials: a denial on
meal_plan_item.approval_status was never consulted by the planner,
and NeverSuggest (the per-family permanent blocklist) was empty for
the user. The 'Roasted Sweet Potato and Chickpea Bowl' the user
denied on 2026-05-15 was still in the planner's pool 3 weeks
later.
Implements C + Z (explicit two-button model + soft-decay +
hard-filter escalation):
- Approve: untouched.
- Deny this week (1st in 90d): denial_expires_at = now() + 90d.
- Deny this week (2nd in 90d, server-side auto-escalation):
denial_expires_at = NULL + a NeverSuggest row written.
- Never again (explicit): same as the 2nd-time auto-escalation.
Both soft and permanent denials are hard filters in the planner
(per user). A denied recipe never reappears until either the 90d
window expires or the user un-blocks via the NeverSuggest API.
Changes:
- Migration 0016: meal_plan_item.denial_expires_at (partial index)
and meal_plan_vote.denial_scope.
- 3 backend helpers (_apply_denial, _ensure_never_suggest_recipe,
_has_prior_active_soft_denial) — single source of truth for the
deny path.
- POST /api/meals/items/{id}/deny?scope=this_week|never_again
(default this_week). Returns promoted_to_permanent.
- POST /api/meals/vote/{id} extended: vote=approve|deny|never_again.
Returns denial_scope + promoted_to_permanent.
- GET /api/meals/vote/{id} HTML page renders 3 buttons; supports
one-click ?scope=... for email direct-action links.
- Email template (step_email): 3 direct-action links per recipe
plus a secondary 'open vote page' link.
- Planner: _load_blocklists returns 3 sets; soft_denied_recipes
is hard-filtered (union with blocked_recipes at the call site).
- Frontend: MealCard renders 3 buttons (Approve / Deny this week
/ Never again) for pending items. handleDeny is scope-aware;
toast reflects promoted_to_permanent. window.confirm on
'Never again' prevents accidental permanent blocks.
Verification:
- npm run build green.
- 21/21 planner tests pass (1 pre-existing test_filter_blocks_by_cost
failure is NOT introduced by Sprint 8 — verified via git stash).
- Review/sprint8-verification.md: 11-step browser smoke + 4 API
curls + email-render procedure + rollback.

# Recovery Plan — MealPlanner
|
||
|
||
Goal: bring implementation back into alignment with `Review/reviewconcensus.md`. Stop building forward features until the deferred-risk spikes and the verification matrix pass.
|
||
|
||
## Active sprint: Sprint 8 — "Deny" semantics (C + Z, hard-filter escalation)
|
||
|
||
**Owner:** this agent. **Status:** code complete (`npm run build` green, 21/21 planner tests pass excluding 1 pre-existing unrelated failure), awaiting user commit + deploy. **Tracking:** `Review/sprint8-verification.md` (deploy + smoke), `.agent/plan.md` (checklist), `.agent/context.md` (decisions + open Qs).
|
||
|
||
**User policy decision (2026-06-05, exact):** "Hard filter. If it is denied this week twice, it should be considered denied for good." — collapses the design to **C + Z** with a server-side 2-denial auto-escalation.
|
||
|
||
### S8.1 — Migration: `0016_denial_decay_and_scope.py` (NEW)
|
||
|
||
- [x] Adds `meal_plan_item.denial_expires_at TIMESTAMPTZ NULL`.
|
||
- [x] Adds `meal_plan_vote.denial_scope VARCHAR(16) NULL`.
|
||
- [x] Partial index on `meal_plan_item.denial_expires_at` (postgresql_where IS NOT NULL) for the planner's soft-deny lookup.
|
||
- [x] Downgrade reverses all three.
|
||
|
||
### S8.2 — Model: `app/models/__init__.py`
|
||
|
||
- [x] `MealPlanItem.denial_expires_at` column added.
|
||
- [x] `MealPlanVote.denial_scope` column added.
|
||
|
||
### S8.3 — Schema: `app/schemas/__init__.py`
|
||
|
||
- [x] `MealPlanItemResponse.denial_expires_at: Optional[datetime]`.
|
||
- [x] `VoteRequest.denial_scope: Optional[str]` with `pattern=^(this_week|never_again)$`.
|
||
- [x] `VoteResponse.denial_scope: Optional[str]`.
|
||
|
||
### S8.4 — Backend helpers: `app/api/meals.py`
|
||
|
||
- [x] `_apply_denial(db, item, scope)` — single source of truth for the deny path. Returns `{item, promoted_to_permanent, scope}`. Commits.
|
||
- [x] `_ensure_never_suggest_recipe(db, family_id, recipe_id, reason)` — idempotent NeverSuggest insert. Returns `True` if new, `False` if existing.
|
||
- [x] `_has_prior_active_soft_denial(db, family_id, recipe_id, current_item_id=None)` — count query for the 2-denial check.
|
||
- [x] `DENIAL_DECAY_DAYS = 90` constant.
|
||
|
||
### S8.5 — Backend endpoints: `app/api/meals.py`
|
||
|
||
- [x] `POST /api/meals/items/{id}/deny?scope=this_week|never_again` (default `this_week`).
|
||
- Returns `{message, item, promoted_to_permanent, scope}`.
|
||
- `swap_meal_item` also clears `denial_expires_at` (defensive: a new recipe_id is a fresh start).
|
||
- [x] `POST /api/meals/vote/{id}` extended: `vote: "approve" | "deny" | "never_again"`.
|
||
- Returns `{status, item_status, denial_scope, promoted_to_permanent}`.
|
||
- The 2-denial auto-escalation runs server-side for both `deny` and `never_again`.
|
||
- [x] `GET /api/meals/vote/{id}` HTML page renders 3 buttons. Supports one-click `?scope=...` for the email's per-button links.
|
||
|
||
### S8.6 — Email template: `app/services/orchestrator/steps.py`
|
||
|
||
- [x] 3 direct-action links per recipe (Approve / Deny this week / Never again).
|
||
- [x] Legacy "Vote on this meal" preserved as a secondary "Open vote page (all 3 options)" link.
|
||
|
||
### S8.7 — Planner: `app/services/planner/generate.py`
|
||
|
||
- [x] `_load_blocklists` returns 3 sets: `(blocked_ingredients, blocked_recipes, soft_denied_recipes)`.
|
||
- [x] `soft_denied_recipes` is the **hard filter** (per user decision: same as `blocked_recipes`).
|
||
- [x] `rejected_summary` adds a `soft_denied_recipe` diagnostic bucket.
|
||
|
||
### S8.8 — Frontend: `Dashboard.tsx` + `api/index.ts`
|
||
|
||
- [x] `api/index.ts:48-58` — `meals.denyItem(itemId, { scope })`.
|
||
- [x] `Dashboard.tsx:38-50, 385-410` — `MealCard` accepts scope-aware `onDeny`; renders 3 buttons (Approve / Deny this week / Never again) for pending items.
|
||
- [x] `handleDeny` is scope-aware; toast reflects the server's `promoted_to_permanent` flag.
|
||
- [x] "Never again" is gated by `window.confirm` to prevent accidental permanent blocks.
|
||
- [x] Buttons only show on `pending` items (approved/denied items show the badge only).
|
||
|
||
### S8.9 — Verify
|
||
|
||
- [x] `npm run build` green for Sprint 8 (tsc 0 errors, vite 0 errors).
|
||
- [x] Backend smoke: 21/21 planner tests pass (1 pre-existing `test_filter_blocks_by_cost` failure is **not** introduced by S8 — verified via `git stash` + re-run on a clean tree).
|
||
- [x] Static checks: all 6 new modules import cleanly, helper logic verified via Python AST + import-test against `backend/venv`.
|
||
- [x] `Review/sprint8-verification.md` written with deploy + 11-step browser smoke + 4 API curls + email-render procedure + rollback.
|
||
- [ ] Deploy verified on `100.108.224.12` — see verification log.
|
||
- [ ] No regression in Sprints 1-7.
|
||
|
||
### S8.10 — Docs (all 6 running docs updated)
|
||
|
||
- [x] `Review/ui-nielsen-audit.md` — Sprint 8 status block at the top (T2.1–T2.10).
|
||
- [x] `fix-ui-audit.md` — Sprint 8 plan section (T2.1–T2.10).
|
||
- [x] `Review/handoff-ui-audit.md` — "Active sprint" callout + bottom "Last updated" line.
|
||
- [x] `docs/HANDOFF.md` — Sprint 7 + Sprint 8 sections before the 2026-06-03 session.
|
||
- [x] `.agent/plan.md` — this section.
|
||
- [x] `.agent/context.md` — Sprint 8 decisions, file:line references, verification gate.
|
||
|
||
### Done when (Sprint 8)
|
||
|
||
- All 12 boxes above ticked.
|
||
- `npm run build` green.
|
||
- `Review/sprint8-verification.md` exists.
|
||
- All 6 doc files have a Sprint 8 status block.
|
||
- User commits + runs the deploy + runs the SQL + reports the smoke checklist.
|
||
|
||
### Out of scope (Sprint 8)
|
||
|
||
- Thread 3: §Future backlog (F1 onboarding, F8/F9 proposals, dead `Generate Meal Plan` CTA at `Dashboard.tsx:415`).
|
||
- "Unblock" UI on the webui. The `NeverSuggest` API exists; no UI to remove a row. User can use the API directly.
|
||
- Decay-sweep cron. The 90-day filter is at read time; expired rows just become invisible. No cleanup needed.
|
||
- Pre-existing denied row (2026-05-15 day-2 Roasted Sweet Potato and Chickpea Bowl) — left untouched. `denial_expires_at` stays NULL; the recipe is effectively forgotten after 90d from now (today is 2026-06-05, so it'll be eligible again ~2026-09-03). If the user wants it remembered permanently, they can re-trigger the soft-deny cycle by clicking "Deny this week" on the next plan that includes it.

|
||
|
||
## Phase R1 — Stabilize (parallel-safe)
|
||
|
||
- [ ] R1-A: Verification harness. Add `backend/tests/` with pytest config, a `conftest.py` with a transactional DB fixture, and smoke tests covering: app import, `/health`, `/health/db`, every router's GET list endpoint, Alembic `upgrade head` round-trip on a throwaway DB. Add `.github/workflows/ci.yml` running lint + pytest + frontend `npm run build`.
|
||
- [ ] R1-B: Auth dependencies on existing routers. Implement an `app.security` module with: (1) `require_admin` dep — bearer token compared to `settings.ADMIN_TOKEN`, applied to ALL `/api/admin/*` routes; (2) `require_session` dep — signed-cookie session (itsdangerous, key = `SECRET_KEY`) for profile/pantry/recipes/meals/shopping-list mutations; reads stay open inside the trusted network. Per-voter approval token flow stays as-is. Update `.env.example` with `ADMIN_TOKEN`. Document the model in `docs/SECURITY.md`.
|
||
- [ ] R1-C: Make `/api/admin/scrape` async. Convert the endpoint to enqueue a background job (FastAPI `BackgroundTasks` for now; APScheduler later). Endpoint returns 202 + `scrape_log_id`; status polled via `/api/admin/logs/{id}`. ScraperService must open its own DB session inside the task (the request-scoped `db` is gone by then).
|
||
|
||
## Phase R2 — De-risk deferred work (parallel-safe, must run BEFORE further feature work per review §2.4)
|
||
|
||
- [ ] R2-A: Live-scrape spike. Run `LuckyCaliforniaScraper` against `https://luckysupermarkets.com` once, capture the raw HTML/PNG to `backend/tests/fixtures/lucky_ca/`, write a unit test that parses the captured fixture (no live network in CI). Document selector decisions in `.agent/context.md`. If the page can't be parsed, file the schema impact before going further.
|
||
- [ ] R2-B: Email + approval round-trip spike. Implement minimal SendGrid sender (`app/services/email.py`), an `app/services/approval.py` that issues per-voter signed tokens (TTL, single-use), the GET confirmation page + POST submit handler (the routes already exist as stubs in `meals.py`), and a CLI script `scripts/send_test_approval.py` that creates a fake meal plan, emails one voter, and verifies the click→POST→DB write path end to end against a sandboxed inbox or `MAIL_BACKEND=console`. Goal: prove the schema (family_member, approval_token tables) survives one full round trip BEFORE building Phase 4/5/9.
|
||
|
||
## Phase R3 — Resume feature work (sequential, only after R1+R2 green)
|
||
|
||
- [ ] R3-A: Phase 4 Recipe Engine — search, tagging, never-suggest filter.
|
||
- [ ] R3-B: Phase 9 Meal Planner generation algorithm.
|
||
- [ ] R3-C: Phase 6 SendGrid templated emails (proposal, reminder, confirmation).
|
||
- [ ] R3-D: Phase 8 Feedback UI.
|
||
- [ ] R3-E: APScheduler with `--workers 1` for weekly scrape + plan generation + email send.
|
||
- [ ] R3-F: Phase 10 image strategy.
|
||
|
||
## Halt conditions
|
||
|
||
- R2 spikes fail → stop, propose schema/spec change, await approval.
|
||
- Verification matrix in `Review/reviewconcensus.md §6` not green → no R3 work begins.
