# 🧭 WooNooW — Single Source of Truth (S.O.P.)

This document defines the **Standard Operating Procedure** for developing, maintaining, and collaborating on the **WooNooW** project — ensuring every AI Agent or human collaborator follows the same workflow and conventions.

---

## 1. 🎯 Project Intent

WooNooW modernizes WooCommerce **without migration**, delivering a Hybrid + SPA experience for both **storefront** and **admin**, while keeping compatibility with legacy WooCommerce addons.

> **Goal:** “Reimagine WooCommerce for now — faster, modern, reversible.”

---

## 1.1 📝 Documentation Standards

### Progress & Testing Documentation

**All progress notes and reports MUST be added to:**
- `PROGRESS_NOTE.md` - Consolidated progress tracking with timestamps

**All test checklists MUST be added to:**
- `TESTING_CHECKLIST.md` - Comprehensive testing requirements

**Feature-specific documentation:**
- Create dedicated `.md` files for major features (e.g., `PAYMENT_GATEWAY_INTEGRATION.md`)
- Link to these files from `PROGRESS_NOTE.md`
- Include implementation details, code examples, and testing steps

**Documentation Rules:**
1. ✅ Update `PROGRESS_NOTE.md` after completing any major feature
2. ✅ Add test cases to `TESTING_CHECKLIST.md` before implementation
3. ✅ Use consistent formatting (emojis, headings, code blocks)
4. ✅ Include "Last synced" timestamp in GMT+7
5. ✅ Reference file paths and line numbers for code changes

---

## 2. 🧱 Core Principles

1. **Zero Data Migration** — All data remains in WooCommerce’s database schema.  
2. **Safe Activation/Deactivation** — Deactivating WooNooW restores vanilla Woo instantly.  
3. **HPOS-First Architecture** — Mandatory use of WooCommerce HPOS.  
4. **Hybrid by Default** — SSR + React SPA islands for Cart, Checkout, and My‑Account.  
5. **Full SPA Option** — Optional React-only mode for performance-critical sites.  
6. **Compat Layer** — HookBridge & SlotRenderer preserve legacy addon behavior.  
7. **Async System** — MailQueue & async actions replace blocking PHP tasks.

---

## 5. 🧰 Development Workflow

### 5.1 Environment Setup
1. Use **LocalWP** or **Docker** (PHP 8.2+, MySQL 8, Redis optional).  
2. Clone or mount `woonoow` folder into `/wp-content/plugins/`.  
3. Ensure WooCommerce is installed and active.  
4. Activate WooNooW in wp-admin → “Plugins.”

### 5.2 Build & Test Commands
```bash
npm run build       # build both admin & customer SPAs
npm run pack        # create woonoow.zip for release
composer dump-autoload
```

### 5.3 Plugin Packaging
- The release ZIP must contain only:
  ```
  woonoow.php
  includes/
  admin-spa/dist/
  customer-spa/dist/
  composer.json
  package.json
  phpcs.xml
  README.md
  ```
- Build ZIP using:
  ```bash
  node scripts/package-zip.mjs
  ```

### 5.4 Commit Convention
Use conventional commits:
```
feat(api): add checkout quote endpoint
fix(core): prevent duplicate email send on async queue
refactor(admin): improve SPA routing
```

### 5.5 Branching
- `main` — stable, production-ready
- `dev` — development staging
- `feature/*` — specific features or fixes

### 5.6 Admin SPA Template Pattern

The WooNooW Admin SPA follows a consistent layout structure ensuring a predictable UI across all routes:

**Structure**
```
Admin-SPA
├── App Bar [Branding | Version | Server Connectivity | Global Buttons (Fullscreen)]
├── Menu Bar (Main Menu) [Normal (Tabbed Overflow-X-Auto)] [Fullscreen (Sidebar)]
├── Submenu Bar (Tabbed Overflow-X-Auto, context-sensitive)
└── Page Template
    ├── Page Tool Bar (Page filters, CRUD buttons, Back button)
    └── Page Content (Data tables, cards, forms)
```

**Behavioral Notes**
- `App Bar`: Persistent across all routes; contains global controls (fullscreen, server, user menu).
- `Menu Bar`: Primary navigation for main sections (Dashboard, Orders, Products, etc.); sticky with overflow-x scroll.
- `Submenu Bar`: Context-sensitive secondary tabs under the main menu.
- `Page Tool Bar`: Contains functional filters and actions relevant to the current page.
- `Page Content`: Hosts the page body—tables, analytics, and CRUD forms.
- In Fullscreen mode, `Menu Bar` becomes a collapsible sidebar while all others remain visible.
- Sticky layout rules ensure `App Bar` and `Menu Bar` remain fixed while content scrolls independently.

### 5.7 Mobile Responsiveness & UI Controls

WooNooW enforces a mobile‑first responsive standard across all SPA interfaces to ensure usability on small screens.

**Control Sizing Standard (`.ui-ctrl`)**
- All interactive controls — input, select, button, and dropdown options — must include the `.ui-ctrl` class or equivalent utility for consistent sizing.
- Default height: `h-11` (mobile), `md:h-9` (desktop).
- This sizing improves tap area accessibility and maintains visual alignment between mobile and desktop.

**Responsive Layout Rules**
- On mobile view, even in fullscreen mode, the layout uses **Topbar navigation** instead of Sidebar for better reachability.
- The Sidebar layout is applied **only** in desktop fullscreen mode.
- Sticky top layers (`App Bar`, `Menu Bar`) remain visible while sub‑content scrolls independently.
- Tables and grids must support horizontal scroll (`overflow-x-auto`) and collapse to cards when screen width < 640px.

**Tokens & Global Styles**
- File: `admin-spa/src/ui/tokens.css` defines base CSS variables for control sizing.
- File: `admin-spa/src/index.css` imports `./ui/tokens.css` and applies the `.ui-ctrl` rules globally.

These rules ensure consistent UX across device classes while maintaining WooNooW’s design hierarchy.

### 5.8 Error Handling & User Notifications

WooNooW implements a centralized, user-friendly error handling system that ensures consistent UX across all features.

**Core Principles**
1. **Never expose technical details** to end users (no "API 500", stack traces, or raw error codes)
2. **Use appropriate notification types** based on context
3. **Provide actionable feedback** with clear next steps
4. **Maintain consistency** across all pages and features

**Notification Types**

| Context | Component | Use Case | Example |
|---------|-----------|----------|---------|
| **Page Load Errors** | `<ErrorCard>` | Query failures, data fetch errors | "Failed to load orders" with retry button |
| **Action Errors** | `toast.error()` | Mutation failures, form submissions | "Failed to create order. Please check all required fields." |
| **Action Success** | `toast.success()` | Successful mutations | "Order created successfully" |
| **Inline Validation** | `<ErrorMessage>` | Form field errors | "Email address is required" |

**Implementation**

```typescript
// For mutations (create, update, delete)
import { showErrorToast, showSuccessToast } from '@/lib/errorHandling';

const mutation = useMutation({
  mutationFn: OrdersApi.create,
  onSuccess: (data) => {
    showSuccessToast('Order created successfully', `Order #${data.number} created`);
  },
  onError: (error) => {
    showErrorToast(error); // Automatically extracts user-friendly message
  }
});

// For queries (page loads)
import { ErrorCard } from '@/components/ErrorCard';
import { getPageLoadErrorMessage } from '@/lib/errorHandling';

if (query.isError) {
  return <ErrorCard 
    title="Failed to load data"
    message={getPageLoadErrorMessage(query.error)}
    onRetry={() => query.refetch()}
  />;
}
```

**Error Message Mapping**

Backend errors are mapped to user-friendly messages in `lib/errorHandling.ts`:

```typescript
const friendlyMessages = {
  'no_items': 'Please add at least one product to the order',
  'create_failed': 'Failed to create order. Please check all required fields.',
  'update_failed': 'Failed to update order. Please check all fields.',
  'not_found': 'The requested item was not found',
  'forbidden': 'You do not have permission to perform this action',
};
```

**Toast Configuration**
- **Position:** Bottom-right
- **Duration:** 4s (success), 6s (errors)
- **Theme:** Light mode with colored backgrounds
- **Colors:** Green (success), Red (error), Amber (warning), Blue (info)

**Files**
- `admin-spa/src/lib/errorHandling.ts` — Centralized error utilities
- `admin-spa/src/components/ErrorCard.tsx` — Page load error component
- `admin-spa/src/components/ui/sonner.tsx` — Toast configuration

### 5.9 Data Validation & Required Fields

WooNooW enforces strict validation rules to ensure data integrity and provide clear feedback to users.

**Order Creation Validation**

All orders must include:

| Field | Requirement | Error Message |
|-------|-------------|---------------|
| **Products** | At least 1 product | "At least one product is required" |
| **Billing First Name** | Required | "Billing first name is required" |
| **Billing Last Name** | Required | "Billing last name is required" |
| **Billing Email** | Required & valid format | "Billing email is required" / "Billing email is not valid" |
| **Billing Address** | Required | "Billing address is required" |
| **Billing City** | Required | "Billing city is required" |
| **Billing Postcode** | Required | "Billing postcode is required" |
| **Billing Country** | Required | "Billing country is required" |

**Backend Validation Response**

When validation fails, the API returns:

```json
{
  "error": "validation_failed",
  "message": "Please complete all required fields",
  "fields": [
    "Billing first name is required",
    "Billing email is required",
    "Billing address is required"
  ]
}
```

**Frontend Display**

The error handling utility automatically formats field errors as a bulleted list:

```
❌ Please complete all required fields

• Billing first name is required
• Billing email is required
• Billing address is required
• Billing city is required
• Billing postcode is required
```

Each field error appears as a bullet point on its own line, making it easy for users to scan and see exactly what needs to be fixed.

**Implementation Location**
- Backend validation: `includes/Api/OrdersController.php` create() method
- Frontend handling: `admin-spa/src/lib/errorHandling.ts` getErrorMessage()

### 5.10 Internationalization (i18n)

WooNooW follows WordPress translation standards to ensure all user-facing strings are translatable.

**Text Domain:** `woonoow`

**Backend (PHP)**

Use WordPress translation functions:

```php
// Simple translation
__( 'Billing first name', 'woonoow' )

// Translation with sprintf
sprintf( __( '%s is required', 'woonoow' ), $field_label )

// Translators comment for context
/* translators: %s: field label */
sprintf( __( '%s is required', 'woonoow' ), $label )
```

**Frontend (TypeScript/React)**

Use the i18n utility wrapper:

```typescript
import { __, sprintf } from '@/lib/i18n';

// Simple translation
__('Failed to load data')

// Translation with sprintf (placeholders)
sprintf(__('Order #%s created'), orderNumber)
sprintf(__('Edit Order #%s'), orderId)

// In components
<button>{__('Try again')}</button>
<h2>{sprintf(__('Order #%s'), order.number)}</h2>

// In error messages
const title = __('Please complete all required fields');
const message = sprintf(__('Order #%s has been created'), data.number);
```

**Translation Files**

- Backend strings: Extracted to `languages/woonoow.pot`
- Frontend strings: Loaded via `wp.i18n` (WordPress handles this)
- Translation utilities: `admin-spa/src/lib/i18n.ts`

**Best Practices**

1. **Never hardcode user-facing strings** - Always use translation functions
2. **Use translators comments** for context when using placeholders
3. **Keep strings simple** - Avoid complex concatenation
4. **Test in English first** - Ensure strings make sense before translation

## 5.11 Loading States

WooNooW provides a **consistent loading UI system** across the application to ensure a polished user experience.

**Component:** `admin-spa/src/components/LoadingState.tsx`

### Loading Components

**1. LoadingState (Default)**a
```typescript
import { LoadingState } from '@/components/LoadingState';

// Default loading
<LoadingState />

// Custom message
<LoadingState message={__('Loading order...')} />

// Different sizes
<LoadingState size="sm" message={__('Saving...')} />
<LoadingState size="md" message={__('Loading...')} /> // default
<LoadingState size="lg" message={__('Processing...')} />

// Full screen overlay
<LoadingState fullScreen message={__('Loading...')} />
```

**2. PageLoadingState**
```typescript
import { PageLoadingState } from '@/components/LoadingState';

// For full page loads
if (isLoading) {
  return <PageLoadingState message={__('Loading order...')} />;
}
```

**3. InlineLoadingState**
```typescript
import { InlineLoadingState } from '@/components/LoadingState';

// For inline loading within components
{isLoading && <InlineLoadingState message={__('Loading...')} />}
```

**4. CardLoadingSkeleton**
```typescript
import { CardLoadingSkeleton } from '@/components/LoadingState';

// For loading card content
{isLoading && <CardLoadingSkeleton />}
```

**5. TableLoadingSkeleton**
```typescript
import { TableLoadingSkeleton } from '@/components/LoadingState';

// For loading table rows
{isLoading && <TableLoadingSkeleton rows={10} />}
```

### Usage Guidelines

**Page-Level Loading:**
```typescript
// ✅ Good - Use PageLoadingState for full page loads
if (orderQ.isLoading || countriesQ.isLoading) {
  return <PageLoadingState message={sprintf(__('Loading order #%s...'), orderId)} />;
}

// ❌ Bad - Don't use plain text
if (isLoading) {
  return <div>Loading...</div>;
}
```

**Inline Loading:**
```typescript
// ✅ Good - Use InlineLoadingState for partial loads
{q.isLoading && <InlineLoadingState message={__('Loading order...')} />}

// ❌ Bad - Don't use custom spinners
{q.isLoading && <div><Loader2 className="animate-spin" /> Loading...</div>}
```

**Table Loading:**
```typescript
// ✅ Good - Use TableLoadingSkeleton for tables
{q.isLoading && <TableLoadingSkeleton rows={10} />}

// ❌ Bad - Don't show empty state while loading
{q.isLoading && <div>Loading data...</div>}
```

### Best Practices

1. **Always use i18n** - All loading messages must be translatable
   ```typescript
   <LoadingState message={__('Loading...')} />
   ```

2. **Be specific** - Use descriptive messages
   ```typescript
   // ✅ Good
   <LoadingState message={sprintf(__('Loading order #%s...'), orderId)} />
   
   // ❌ Bad
   <LoadingState message="Loading..." />
   ```

3. **Choose appropriate size** - Match the context
   - `sm` - Inline, buttons, small components
   - `md` - Default, cards, sections
   - `lg` - Full page, important actions

4. **Use skeletons for lists** - Better UX than spinners
   ```typescript
   {isLoading ? <TableLoadingSkeleton rows={5} /> : <Table data={data} />}
   ```

5. **Responsive design** - Loading states work on all screen sizes
   - Mobile: Optimized spacing and sizing
   - Desktop: Full layout preserved

### Pattern Examples

**Order Edit Page:**
```typescript
export default function OrdersEdit() {
  const orderQ = useQuery({ ... });
  
  if (orderQ.isLoading) {
    return <LoadingState message={sprintf(__('Loading order #%s...'), orderId)} />;
  }
  
  return <OrderForm ... />;
}
```

**Order Detail Page:**
```typescript
export default function OrderDetail() {
  const q = useQuery({ ... });
  
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{__('Order Details')}</h1>
      {q.isLoading && <InlineLoadingState message={__('Loading order...')} />}
      {q.data && <OrderContent order={q.data} />}
    </div>
  );
}
```

**Orders List:**
```typescript
export default function OrdersList() {
  const q = useQuery({ ... });
  
  return (
    <table>
      <thead>...</thead>
      <tbody>
        {q.isLoading && <TableLoadingSkeleton rows={10} />}
        {q.data?.map(order => <OrderRow key={order.id} order={order} />)}
      </tbody>
    </table>
  );
}
```

## 6. 🔌 Addon Development Standards

### 6.1 Addon Injection System

WooNooW provides a **filter-based addon injection system** that allows third-party plugins to integrate seamlessly with the SPA without modifying core files.

**Core Principle:** All modules that can accept external injection MUST provide filter hooks following the standard naming convention.

### 6.2 Hook Naming Convention

All WooNooW hooks follow this structure:

```
woonoow/{category}/{action}[/{subcategory}]
```

**Examples:**
- `woonoow/addon_registry` - Register addon metadata
- `woonoow/spa_routes` - Register SPA routes
- `woonoow/nav_tree` - Modify navigation tree
- `woonoow/nav_tree/products/children` - Inject into Products submenu
- `woonoow/dashboard/widgets` - Add dashboard widgets (future)
- `woonoow/order/detail/panels` - Add order detail panels (future)

**Rules:**
1. Always prefix with `woonoow/`
2. Use lowercase with underscores
3. Use singular nouns for registries (`addon_registry`, not `addons_registry`)
4. Use hierarchical structure for nested items
5. Use descriptive names that indicate purpose

### 6.3 Filter Template Pattern

When creating a new module that accepts external injection, follow this template:

#### **Backend (PHP)**

```php
<?php
namespace WooNooW\Compat;

class MyModuleRegistry {
    const OPTION_KEY = 'wnw_my_module_data';
    const VERSION = '1.0.0';
    
    public static function init() {
        add_action('plugins_loaded', [__CLASS__, 'collect_data'], 30);
        add_action('activated_plugin', [__CLASS__, 'flush']);
        add_action('deactivated_plugin', [__CLASS__, 'flush']);
    }
    
    public static function collect_data() {
        $data = [];
        
        /**
         * Filter: woonoow/my_module/items
         * 
         * Allows addons to register items with this module.
         * 
         * @param array $data Array of item configurations
         * 
         * Example:
         * add_filter('woonoow/my_module/items', function($data) {
         *     $data['my-item'] = [
         *         'id'    => 'my-item',
         *         'label' => 'My Item',
         *         'value' => 'something',
         *     ];
         *     return $data;
         * });
         */
        $data = apply_filters('woonoow/my_module/items', $data);
        
        // Validate and store
        $validated = self::validate_items($data);
        update_option(self::OPTION_KEY, [
            'version' => self::VERSION,
            'items'   => $validated,
            'updated' => time(),
        ], false);
    }
    
    private static function validate_items(array $items): array {
        // Validation logic
        return $items;
    }
    
    public static function get_items(): array {
        $data = get_option(self::OPTION_KEY, []);
        return $data['items'] ?? [];
    }
    
    public static function flush() {
        delete_option(self::OPTION_KEY);
    }
    
    public static function get_frontend_data(): array {
        // Return sanitized data for frontend
        return self::get_items();
    }
}
```

#### **Expose to Frontend (Assets.php)**

```php
// In localize_runtime() method
wp_localize_script($handle, 'WNW_MY_MODULE', MyModuleRegistry::get_frontend_data());
wp_add_inline_script($handle, 'window.WNW_MY_MODULE = window.WNW_MY_MODULE || WNW_MY_MODULE;', 'after');
```

#### **Frontend (TypeScript)**

```typescript
// Read from window
const moduleData = (window as any).WNW_MY_MODULE || [];

// Use in component
function MyComponent() {
  const items = (window as any).WNW_MY_MODULE || [];
  return (
    <div>
      {items.map(item => (
        <div key={item.id}>{item.label}</div>
      ))}
    </div>
  );
}
```

### 6.4 Documentation Requirements

When adding a new filter hook, you MUST:

1. **Add to Hook Registry** (see section 6.5)
2. **Document in code** with PHPDoc
3. **Add example** in ADDON_INJECTION_GUIDE.md
4. **Update** ADDONS_ADMIN_UI_REQUIREMENTS.md

### 6.5 Hook Registry

See `HOOKS_REGISTRY.md` for complete list of available hooks and filters.

### 6.6 Non-React Addon Development

**Question:** Can developers build addons without React?

**Answer:** **YES!** WooNooW supports multiple addon approaches:

#### **Approach 1: PHP + HTML/CSS/JS (No React)**

Traditional WordPress addon development works perfectly:

```php
<?php
/**
 * Plugin Name: My Traditional Addon
 */

// Register addon
add_filter('woonoow/addon_registry', function($addons) {
    $addons['my-addon'] = [
        'id'      => 'my-addon',
        'name'    => 'My Addon',
        'version' => '1.0.0',
    ];
    return $addons;
});

// Add navigation item that links to classic admin page
add_filter('woonoow/nav_tree', function($tree) {
    $tree[] = [
        'key'      => 'my-addon',
        'label'    => 'My Addon',
        'path'     => '/my-addon-classic', // Will redirect to admin page
        'icon'     => 'puzzle',
        'children' => [],
    ];
    return $tree;
});

// Register classic admin page
add_action('admin_menu', function() {
    add_menu_page(
        'My Addon',
        'My Addon',
        'manage_options',
        'my-addon-page',
        'my_addon_render_page',
        'dashicons-admin-generic',
        30
    );
});

function my_addon_render_page() {
    ?>
    <div class="wrap">
        <h1>My Traditional Addon</h1>
        <p>Built with PHP, HTML, CSS, and vanilla JS!</p>
        
        <script>
        // Vanilla JavaScript works fine
        document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
            console.log('My addon loaded!');
        });
        </script>
    </div>
    <?php
}
```

**This approach:**
- ✅ Works with WooNooW navigation
- ✅ No React knowledge required
- ✅ Uses standard WordPress admin pages
- ✅ Can use WordPress admin styles
- ✅ Can enqueue own CSS/JS
- ⚠️ Opens in separate page (not SPA)

#### **Approach 2: Vanilla JS Component (No React)**

For developers who want SPA integration without React:

```javascript
// dist/MyAddon.js - Vanilla JS module
export default function MyAddonPage(props) {
    const container = document.createElement('div');
    container.className = 'p-6';
    container.innerHTML = `
        <div class="rounded-lg border border-border p-6 bg-card">
            <h2 class="text-xl font-semibold mb-2">My Addon</h2>
            <p class="text-sm opacity-70">Built with vanilla JavaScript!</p>
            <button id="my-button" class="px-4 py-2 bg-blue-500 text-white rounded">
                Click Me
            </button>
        </div>
    `;
    
    // Add event listeners
    setTimeout(() => {
        const button = container.querySelector('#my-button');
        button.addEventListener('click', () => {
            alert('Vanilla JS works!');
        });
    }, 0);
    
    return container;
}
```

**This approach:**
- ✅ Integrates with SPA
- ✅ No React required
- ✅ Can use Tailwind classes
- ✅ Can fetch from REST API
- ⚠️ Must return DOM element
- ⚠️ Manual state management

#### **Approach 3: React Component (Full SPA)**

For developers comfortable with React:

```typescript
// dist/MyAddon.tsx - React component
import React from 'react';

export default function MyAddonPage() {
    const [count, setCount] = React.useState(0);
    
    return (
        <div className="p-6">
            <div className="rounded-lg border border-border p-6 bg-card">
                <h2 className="text-xl font-semibold mb-2">My Addon</h2>
                <p className="text-sm opacity-70">Built with React!</p>
                <button 
                    onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}
                    className="px-4 py-2 bg-blue-500 text-white rounded"
                >
                    Clicked {count} times
                </button>
            </div>
        </div>
    );
}
```

**This approach:**
- ✅ Full SPA integration
- ✅ React state management
- ✅ Can use React Query
- ✅ Can use WooNooW components
- ✅ Best UX
- ⚠️ Requires React knowledge

### 6.7 Addon Development Checklist

When creating a module that accepts addons:

- [ ] Create Registry class (e.g., `MyModuleRegistry.php`)
- [ ] Add filter hook with `woonoow/` prefix
- [ ] Document filter in PHPDoc with example
- [ ] Expose data to frontend via `Assets.php`
- [ ] Add to `HOOKS_REGISTRY.md`
- [ ] Add example to `ADDON_INJECTION_GUIDE.md`
- [ ] Test with example addon
- [ ] Update `ADDONS_ADMIN_UI_REQUIREMENTS.md`

### 6.8 Orders Module as Reference

The **Orders module** is the reference implementation:
- No external injection (by design)
- Clean route structure
- Type-safe components
- Proper error handling
- Mobile responsive
- i18n complete

Use Orders as the template for building new core modules.

## 7. 🎨 Admin Interface Modes

WooNooW provides **three distinct admin interface modes** to accommodate different workflows and user preferences:

### **1. Normal Mode (wp-admin)**
- **Access:** `/wp-admin/admin.php?page=woonoow`
- **Layout:** Traditional WordPress admin with WooNooW SPA in content area
- **Use Case:** Standard WordPress admin workflow
- **Features:**
  - WordPress admin bar and sidebar visible
  - Full WordPress admin functionality
  - WooNooW SPA integrated seamlessly
  - Settings submenu hidden (use WooCommerce settings)
- **When to use:** When you need access to other WordPress admin features alongside WooNooW

### **2. Fullscreen Mode**
- **Access:** Toggle button in WooNooW header
- **Layout:** WooNooW SPA only (no WordPress chrome)
- **Use Case:** Focused work sessions, order processing
- **Features:**
  - Maximized workspace
  - Distraction-free interface
  - All WooNooW features accessible
  - Settings submenu hidden
- **When to use:** When you want to focus exclusively on WooNooW tasks

### **3. Standalone Mode** ✨
- **Access:** `https://yoursite.com/admin`
- **Layout:** Complete standalone application with custom login
- **Use Case:** Quick daily access, mobile-friendly, bookmark-able
- **Features:**
  - Custom login page (`/admin#/login`)
  - WordPress authentication integration
  - Settings submenu visible (SPA settings pages)
  - "WordPress" button to access wp-admin
  - "Logout" button in header
  - Admin bar link in wp-admin to standalone
  - Session persistence across modes
- **When to use:** As your primary WooNooW interface, especially on mobile or for quick access

### **Mode Switching**
- **From wp-admin to Standalone:** Click "WooNooW" in admin bar
- **From Standalone to wp-admin:** Click "WordPress" button in header
- **To Fullscreen:** Click fullscreen toggle in any mode
- **Session persistence:** Login state is shared across all modes

### **Settings Submenu Behavior**
- **Normal Mode:** No settings submenu (use WooCommerce settings in wp-admin)
- **Fullscreen Mode:** No settings submenu
- **Standalone Mode:** Full settings submenu visible with SPA pages

**Implementation:** Settings submenu uses dynamic getter in `admin-spa/src/nav/tree.ts`:
```typescript
get children() {
  const isStandalone = (window as any).WNW_CONFIG?.standaloneMode;
  if (!isStandalone) return [];
  return [ /* settings items */ ];
}
```

## 8. 🤖 AI Agent Collaboration Rules

When using an AI IDE agent (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.):

### Step 1: Context Injection
Always load:
- `README.md`
- `PROJECT_SOP.md`
- The specific file(s) being edited

### Step 2: Editing Rules
1. All AI edits must be **idempotent** — never break structure or naming conventions.  
2. Always follow PSR‑12 PHP standard and React code conventions.  
3. When unsure about a design decision, **refer back to this S.O.P.** before guessing.  
4. New files must be registered in the correct namespace path.  
5. When editing React components, ensure build compatibility with Vite.

### Step 3: Communication
AI agents must:
- Explain each patch clearly.  
- Never auto‑remove code without reason.  
- Maintain English for all code comments, Markdown for docs.

## 7. 📦 Release Steps

1. Run all builds:
   ```bash
   npm run build && npm run pack
   ```
2. Test in LocalWP with a sample Woo store.
3. Validate HPOS compatibility and order creation flow.
4. Push final `woonoow.zip` to release channel (Sejoli, member.dwindi.com, or manual upload).
5. Tag version using semantic versioning (e.g. `v0.2.0-beta`).

## 8. 🧭 Decision Hierarchy

| Category | Decision Reference |
|-----------|--------------------|
| Code Style | Follow PSR‑12 (PHP) & Airbnb/React rules |
| Architecture | PSR‑4 + modular single responsibility |
| UI/UX | Modern minimal style, standardized using Tailwind + Shadcn UI. Recharts for data visualization. |
| Icons | Use lucide-react via npm i lucide-react. Icons should match Shadcn UI guidelines. Always import directly (e.g. import { Package } from 'lucide-react'). Maintain consistent size (16–20px) and stroke width (1.5px). Use Tailwind classes for color states. |
| **Navigation Pattern** | **CRUD pages MUST follow consistent back button navigation: New Order: Index ← New. Edit Order: Index ← Detail ← Edit. Back button always goes to parent page, not index. Use ArrowLeft icon from lucide-react. Toolbar format: `<button onClick={() => nav('/parent/path')}><ArrowLeft /> Back</button> <h2>Page Title</h2>`** |
| Compatibility | Must preserve Woo hooks unless explicitly replaced |
| Performance | Async-first, no blocking mail or sync jobs |
| **Email Policy** | **ALL `wp_mail()` calls MUST be delayed by 15+ seconds using Action Scheduler or wp-cron. Never send emails synchronously during API requests (create, update, status change). Use `OrdersController::schedule_order_email()` pattern.** |
| Deployment | LocalWP → Coolify → Production |
