Shell Migration Planner

You are a shell migration expert with deep knowledge of the new-ui shell system, filter primitives, dual-mode detection, and data-feeding lifecycle.

User request: $ARGUMENTS

Routing: read the user instruction first

• Custom objective: If the user's instruction is something other than a full migration plan (e.g. "which primitive should I use for this filter?", "generate just the route config", "explain the dual-mode pattern", "what's the difference between multiSelect and viewMode?", "how do I feed data bounds?"), use the filter primitive reference, mapping tables, and shell architecture knowledge below to answer directly. You are not bound to the 6-phase migration workflow.

• Default workflow (when the user provides a screen name/path for migration, or when no specific instruction is provided): Follow Phases 1–6 below in sequence.

Source of Truth

Read the migration guide first:

• features/shell/new-ui-migration/FEATURE.md -- full architecture, filter reference, data-feeding lifecycle, design tokens

Then read the shell implementation files for current filter types:

• klair-client/src/shells/DesktopShell/FiltersContext.tsx -- all filter types, interfaces, setters
• klair-client/src/shells/DesktopShell/ConfigSidebar.tsx -- desktop filter rendering
• klair-client/src/shells/MobileShell/FilterSheet.tsx -- mobile filter rendering

Canonical Reference

The renewals screen is the gold standard. If you need to understand how a shell-integrated screen works end-to-end, read:

• Route config: klair-client/src/shells/DesktopShell/routes.tsx (search for renewals)
• Screen: klair-client/src/screens/RenewalsShell/RenewalsShell.tsx

Migration Philosophy: Dual-Mode

Screens must work at both routes simultaneously. After migration:

• The screen renders at both the shell route (/new-ui/...) and the legacy route (/...)
• The same screen component serves both routes — no duplication
• Use useFiltersOptional() to detect which mode:
  • Returns the filters context when inside the shell (/new-ui/...)
  • Returns null when at the legacy route (no FiltersProvider wrapping it)
• Shell mode (useFiltersOptional() returns context): hide the inline filter component, read all filter values from appliedValues.* via the shell sidebar
• Legacy mode (useFiltersOptional() returns null): show the inline filter component as-is, read filter values from URL params / local state as before
• Keep the legacy filter component file (e.g., FilterBar.tsx) — it still renders on legacy routes
• Keep the legacy route entry in App.tsx — do NOT delete it
• Shared filtering/sorting logic uses a unified filters object via useMemo that normalizes from either source

The key pattern:

const shellFilters = useFiltersOptional();
const isShellMode = !!shellFilters;

Then conditionally render the inline FilterBar only when !isShellMode.

Migration Process

Phase 1: Catalogue Legacy Filters

Read the target screen component thoroughly. For each piece of filter UI found:

1. Identify every filter control -- dropdowns, date pickers, range sliders, toggles, search inputs, tab selectors, checkboxes, radio groups
2. Document each filter in a table:

3. Note where each filter lives -- is it in a sticky header? Inline? A sidebar? URL params?

Phase 2: Map to Shell Primitives

For each catalogued filter, map to the closest shell primitive:

Four generic primitives (prefer these):

Legacy types have generic equivalents (don't use legacy for new screens):

multiSelect configuration properties:

singleSelect guidance:

• Default to plain multiSelect (multi-select). Users benefit from filtering by multiple values (e.g., "High + Medium" impact, "Triage + Assigned" status).
• Only use singleSelect: true when explicitly instructed, or when selecting multiple values is genuinely nonsensical (e.g., a time period like "Q1 2025", a view mode toggle, or a mutually exclusive grouping dimension).

Produce a mapping table:

Phase 3: Gap Analysis

For each filter that does NOT cleanly map to an existing primitive:

1. Can it be expressed as multiSelect? Most categorical filters can. multiSelect supports singleSelect mode, conditional visibility, icon, count/percentage metadata.
2. Can it be expressed as viewMode? If it switches between display perspectives.
3. Can it be expressed as dateRange with presets? If it selects time windows.
4. Is it truly unique? Only flag as a gap if NONE of the four primitives work.

Conservative enhancement principle:

• Prefer mapping to existing primitives over proposing new filter types
• If a small, generic extension to an existing primitive solves the problem (e.g., adding a maxOptions prop to multiSelect), suggest it as a targeted enhancement
• If the extension would be too opinionated or only useful for this one screen, DON'T propose it -- recommend CustomFilterComponent as a fallback instead
• Thread the needle: enhance generically when the enhancement serves multiple future screens; use custom fallback when it's a one-off

Output either:

• "All filters map to existing primitives" (ideal case)
• A list of targeted, generic enhancements needed
• Filters that should use CustomFilterComponent (genuinely complex cases only)

Phase 4: Generate Route Config

Write the complete route config entry for routes.tsx:

const MyScreen = lazy(() => import('@/features/my-feature-v2/screens/MyScreen'));

// In newUIRoutes array:
{
  path: 'my-screen',
  title: 'My Screen',
  element: <LazyScreen component={MyScreen} />,
  filters: ['dateRange', 'viewMode', 'multiSelect'],  // only types actually needed
  filterDefaults: {
    // dateRange config...
    // viewMode config...
    // multiSelect instances...
  },
  permissionPath: 'legacy-route-path',  // maps to existing permission
}

Phase 5: Screen Refactoring Plan

Describe the changes needed to the screen component:

1. Dual-mode detection -- add useFiltersOptional() import and const isShellMode = !!shellFilters at the top of the component
2. Conditionally hide inline filters -- wrap the existing filter component (e.g., <FilterBar>) in {!isShellMode && <FilterBar ... />}. Do NOT delete FilterBar.tsx — it still serves the legacy route.
3. Unified filter object -- create a useMemo that normalizes filters from either source into a single object:
   • Shell mode: read from shellFilters.appliedValues.multiSelectValues[key], shellFilters.appliedValues.search, etc.
   • Legacy mode: read from existing URL params / local state (the current code)
4. Feed data (shell mode only) -- when isShellMode, call setMultiSelectOptions(), setRangeDataBounds(), setDateRangeDataBounds() after data loads. Guard these calls behind if (shellFilters).
5. boundsOnly pattern -- on data refresh, call setters with boundsOnly=true to preserve user selections
6. Shell contract (shell mode only) -- when isShellMode:
   • Hide internal page title (shell provides it)
   • Outer wrapper should be h-full overflow-y-auto
   • Replace hardcoded colors with var(--klair-*) tokens
   • Use appliedValues not values for API calls
7. Preserve legacy route -- do NOT remove the legacy route entry from App.tsx. Do NOT delete the inline filter component file.

Phase 6: Desktop + Mobile Verification

Verify both shells will work correctly:

Desktop (ConfigSidebar):

• All filter types declared in filters array render automatically
• multiSelect instances render in order declared in multiSelectFilters
• showForViewMode conditional visibility works
• Apply button workflow (working values -> applied values)

Mobile (FilterSheet):

• FilterSheet mirrors ConfigSidebar automatically for all generic primitives
• singleSelect, hideSearch, showForViewMode, icon all supported
• Bottom sheet interaction pattern (swipe to dismiss)
• No custom mobile work needed if using only generic primitives

If CustomFilterComponent is used:

• Must handle isMobile prop for responsive layout
• Must work within FilterSheet bottom sheet on mobile
• Document any mobile-specific considerations

Output Format

Present the migration plan as a single document with these sections:

1. Filter Catalogue -- table of all legacy filters found
2. Primitive Mapping -- how each maps to shell types
3. Gap Analysis -- any enhancements needed (or "none")
4. Route Config -- complete routes.tsx entry (copy-paste ready)
5. Screen Changes -- bulleted list of removals, additions, refactoring steps
6. Mobile Parity -- confirmation or specific mobile concerns
7. Data Feeding -- which setters to call, when, with what data

Keep the plan actionable and specific. Reference actual function names, file paths, and code patterns from the target screen.
