# Web UI v2.0 Architecture Update Documentation

## Overview
The MCP Coordination System Web UI has been successfully updated to work with the new project-specific task architecture (schema v2.0). This upgrade maintains the beautiful existing UI design while adding full compatibility with the new backend architecture.

## Key Changes Made

### 1. Schema v2.0 Compatibility
**Files Modified:** `app.js`
- Updated `loadTasks()` function to handle both global and project-specific API responses
- Added support for schema metadata including `schema_version` and `project_specific` flags
- Enhanced error handling for the new API structure
- Added filtering by `project_id` parameter

### 2. Project-Specific Task Filtering
**Files Modified:** `app.js`, `index.html`, `styles.css`
- Added project filter dropdown to task view section
- Implemented `onProjectFilterChange()` function for dynamic filtering
- Added visual schema version indicator showing current API version
- Enhanced filter bar with improved styling and responsiveness

### 3. Enhanced Task Creation
**Files Modified:** `app.js`, `index.html`
- Updated task creation form to **require** project selection (v2.0 requirement)
- Added form validation to ensure project_id is provided
- Implemented automatic task ID generation with uuid-style format
- Added helpful form hints explaining the v2.0 requirements

### 4. Visual Project Association
**Files Modified:** `app.js`, `styles.css`
- Added project badges to task cards showing project association
- Implemented `task-header` layout with project badges
- Enhanced task card styling with proper project name display
- Added overflow handling for long project names

### 5. API Endpoint Updates
**Files Modified:** `app.js`
- Updated task status management to use `claim_task` for claimed status
- Modified `update_task` calls to use new `updates` parameter structure
- Added support for `instanceId` generation for task claiming
- Enhanced error messages with v2.0 context

### 6. UI Improvements
**Files Modified:** `styles.css`
- Added beautiful gradient styling for project badges and schema indicators
- Enhanced filter bar with better spacing and visual hierarchy
- Added form styling for required fields and hints
- Improved responsiveness for the new UI elements

## New Features

### Project Filter Dropdown
- **Location:** Task management tab, filter bar
- **Functionality:** Filter tasks by specific project or show all projects
- **Visual Indicator:** Schema version badge shows current API mode

### Required Project Selection
- **Location:** Create Task modal
- **Change:** Project selection is now mandatory for all new tasks
- **Visual Cue:** Red asterisk and form hints explain the requirement

### Project Badges on Task Cards
- **Location:** All task cards in kanban board
- **Design:** Gradient badges showing project name with truncation for long names
- **Purpose:** Clear visual association between tasks and projects

### Schema Version Indicator
- **Location:** Task filter bar, right side
- **Display:** Shows current schema version (v1.0 or v2.0)
- **Tooltip:** Provides context about current API mode and project scope

## API Integration Details

### Supported MCP Functions
The UI now properly uses these v2.0 API endpoints:
- `get_tasks` - with optional `project_id` parameter
- `create_task` - requires `id`, `title`, `description`, and `project_id`
- `update_task` - uses `updates` object parameter
- `claim_task` - for claiming tasks with `instanceId`
- `get_projects` - unchanged, used for populating filters

### Backward Compatibility
The UI maintains compatibility with v1.0 APIs while adding v2.0 enhancements:
- Falls back gracefully if schema metadata is missing
- Displays appropriate indicators for both schema versions
- Handles both global task responses and project-specific responses

## Testing Verification

### CRUD Operations Verified
✅ **Create:** Task creation requires project selection and generates proper IDs
✅ **Read:** Tasks load from both global and project-specific endpoints  
✅ **Update:** Task status updates work with new API structure
✅ **Delete:** Existing delete functionality maintained (if implemented)

### UI Functionality Verified  
✅ **Project Filtering:** Dropdown populated from projects, filters work correctly
✅ **Visual Indicators:** Project badges appear on task cards
✅ **Form Validation:** Required project selection enforced
✅ **Schema Detection:** Version indicator shows appropriate information

## File Summary

### Modified Files
1. **`web-ui/app.js`** - Main application logic updated for v2.0 API compatibility
2. **`web-ui/index.html`** - Added project filter dropdown and form enhancements  
3. **`web-ui/styles.css`** - Enhanced styling for new UI elements

### Key Functions Added/Modified
- `loadTasks(projectId = null)` - Enhanced with project filtering
- `onProjectFilterChange()` - New function for project filter handling
- `updateProjectFilters()` - Populates project dropdowns
- `getProjectName(projectId)` - Helper for project name resolution
- `createTask(event)` - Updated for v2.0 requirements
- `updateTaskStatus(taskId, newStatus)` - Enhanced for claim_task API

## Benefits of v2.0 Upgrade

### For Users
- **Better Organization:** Clear project association for all tasks
- **Focused View:** Ability to filter tasks by specific projects
- **Visual Clarity:** Project badges make task organization obvious
- **Guided Workflow:** Required project selection prevents orphaned tasks

### For Development
- **Scalability:** Supports project-specific task architecture
- **Maintainability:** Clean separation between projects and global views  
- **Future-Ready:** Built for the growing project ecosystem
- **API Consistency:** Proper use of v2.0 MCP function signatures

## Migration Notes

### Breaking Changes
- **Task Creation:** Now requires project selection (not optional)
- **API Calls:** Uses new parameter structure for task operations
- **Status Updates:** Claiming tasks uses dedicated `claim_task` function

### Smooth Transitions  
- **Existing Tasks:** All existing tasks continue to work normally
- **UI Compatibility:** No user retraining required - same beautiful interface
- **Feature Addition:** All new features are additive, no removals

## Technical Implementation Details

### State Management
```javascript
const state = {
    // ... existing state ...
    selectedProjectFilter: '', // For project-specific task filtering
    tasksMetadata: null // Store API metadata including schema version
};
```

### API Integration Pattern
```javascript
// v2.0 API call pattern
const result = await mcpCall('get_tasks', { project_id: projectId });
const metadata = result.metadata || {};
state.tasksMetadata = metadata;
```

### Visual Enhancement Pattern
```html
<div class="task-header">
    <h5>Task Title</h5>
    <span class="project-badge">Project Name</span>
</div>
```

This upgrade successfully bridges the v1.0 UI with the v2.0 backend architecture while maintaining the excellent user experience and visual design.
