# Session Handoff: Nuxt Migration — Phase 7 Complete
**Date:** 2026-03-19
**Session Focus:** Runtime verification and fix
**Context at Handoff:** Low — all pages working in dev, ready for Phase 8

## What Was Accomplished

**Phase 7 — Runtime Verification & Fixes**

All pages now load correctly in dev. Eight issues found and fixed:

### Fix 1: QCalendar CSS not imported
- Added `css: ['@quasar/quasar-ui-qcalendar/dist/index.css']` to `nuxt.config.ts`

### Fix 2: Appwrite client initialized at module load time with wrong env var pattern
- `app/utils/appwrite.ts` used `import.meta.env.NUXT_PUBLIC_*` — not available in Nuxt browser context
- **Fix**: extracted `initAppwriteClient(endpoint, projectId)` function, called from plugin after `useRuntimeConfig()`
- `app/plugins/appwrite.client.ts` now calls `useRuntimeConfig()` and guards against empty config

### Fix 3: `.env.local` not loaded by Nuxt 4
- Nuxt 4 auto-loads `.env` but NOT `.env.local`
- **Fix**: copied `.env.local` → `.env` (both are gitignored via `.env.*`)

### Fix 4: `AddressbarColor` plugin missing
- Added `'AddressbarColor'` to Quasar plugins list in `nuxt.config.ts`
- Added `?.` guard on `q.addressbarColor?.set(...)` in `app/layouts/default.vue`

### Fix 5: Static image assets not resolved in Vite
- `src="~/assets/oysqn_logo.png"` in component props is not processed by Vite (unlike Webpack's `~` convention)
- **Fix**: copied `oysqn_logo.png`, `oysqn_logo_only.png`, `oys_lighthouse.jpg` to `public/`
- Updated 4 pages (`login.vue`, `index.vue`, `signup.vue`, `pwreset.vue`) to use `/oysqn_logo.png`
- CSS `url('~/assets/...')` in `<style>` blocks IS handled by Vite — left unchanged

### Fix 6: Quasar SCSS variables (`$primary` etc.) undefined
- Old Quasar/Webpack auto-imported variables; Vite does not
- **Fix**: added to `nuxt.config.ts`:
  ```ts
  vite: {
    css: {
      preprocessorOptions: {
        sass: {
          additionalData: '@use "quasar/src/css/variables.sass" as *\n',
        },
      },
    },
  },
  ```
- Affects: `schedule/view.vue`, `LeftDrawer.vue`, `CalendarHeaderComponent.vue`, `BoatScheduleTableComponent.vue`

### Fix 7: `sass-embedded` missing
- Added `sass-embedded` as dev dependency

### Fix 8: PWA service worker caching stale HTML in dev
- Old SW was caching HTML with empty Appwrite config
- **Fix**: set `pwa.devOptions.enabled: false` in `nuxt.config.ts`

## Current State

- `yarn dev` — all pages load correctly
- Login, schedule, admin pages verified working
- Appwrite auth flow functional
- QCalendar renders with correct styling

## Files Changed This Session

- `bab-app-nuxt/nuxt.config.ts` — CSS import, Vite SASS config, AddressbarColor plugin, PWA dev disabled
- `bab-app-nuxt/app/utils/appwrite.ts` — lazy init via `initAppwriteClient()`
- `bab-app-nuxt/app/plugins/appwrite.client.ts` — uses `useRuntimeConfig()`, guards empty config
- `bab-app-nuxt/app/layouts/default.vue` — optional chaining on `route?.meta?.title` and `q.addressbarColor?.set()`
- `bab-app-nuxt/app/pages/login.vue`, `index.vue`, `signup.vue`, `pwreset.vue` — logo src path fixed
- `bab-app-nuxt/public/` — added `oysqn_logo.png`, `oysqn_logo_only.png`, `oys_lighthouse.jpg`
- `bab-app-nuxt/.env` — created from `.env.local` for Nuxt 4 dotenv loading

## What NEXT Session Should Do

### Phase 8 — Generate & Deploy

1. **Update `.gitea/workflows/build.yaml`** — current CI is for the old Quasar app:
   - Remove `yarn dlx @quasar/cli ext invoke @quasar/qcalendar` step (Quasar CLI, not needed)
   - Add `cd bab-app-nuxt` or set working-directory for install/build steps
   - Change build command to `yarn generate`
   - Change artifact path from `dist/` to `bab-app-nuxt/.output/public/`
   - Env vars: CI uses `vars.ENV_FILE` → needs to write to `bab-app-nuxt/.env`

2. **Test `yarn generate`** in `bab-app-nuxt/` — verify `.output/public/` is produced

3. **Check Ansible deploy playbook** — update dist path if needed

## Open Questions

- [ ] **OPEN**: Appwrite SDK deprecated API calls — migrate to v14+ signatures? (TS6387 hints in all stores)
- [ ] **OPEN**: `task`/`taskTags`/`skillTags` collections — will they ever be created in `bab_prod`?
- [ ] **OPEN**: Should `.env.local` be removed now that `.env` is in place, to avoid confusion?
