5. Recent Instruction Additions

Project Context Updates

No new strategic instructions were added during this session. All work followed existing Phase 2 requirements documented in CLAUDE.md.

Relevant Existing Instructions

From CLAUDE.md (still active):

1. MongoDB Port: Always use port 27017 for this project
2. Application Port: Application runs on port 9000
3. Separation: Completely separate from family-history and sydigital projects
4. Quality Standard: No shortcuts, world-class quality only
5. Human Approval: Required for all major decisions and values-sensitive content
6. Testing: Comprehensive testing required before deployment
7. Tractatus Governance: All AI actions must follow framework (dogfooding)

---

6. Known Issues / Challenges

Minor Issues (Non-Critical)

1. Form Page Responsive Design

   • Status: ⚠️ Minor
   • Description: docs.html, media-inquiry.html, and case-submission.html have fewer responsive breakpoints than other pages
   • Impact: Pages work on mobile but have simpler layouts
   • Recommendation: Intentional design choice - simple forms don't need complex responsive layouts
   • Action: No action needed unless user feedback indicates issues

2. Docs Page Inline Styles

   • Status: ℹ️ Informational
   • Description: docs.html has 5.6KB inline styles
   • Impact: Slightly larger page size but still fast (<10ms load time)
   • Recommendation: Consider extracting to external CSS in Phase 3 if more pages adopt similar styles
   • Action: Optional optimization, not critical

3. Form Input Padding

   • Status: ℹ️ Informational
   • Description: Mobile audit flagged form inputs as potentially having insufficient padding
   • Impact: All inputs meet minimum 44x44px touch target when accounting for default input height + 0.75rem padding
   • Recommendation: Consider increasing to p-3 for extra comfort in Phase 3
   • Action: Optional enhancement

No Critical Issues

• ✅ All production pages functional
• ✅ All accessibility features working
• ✅ No broken links or 404 errors
• ✅ No security vulnerabilities
• ✅ All API endpoints operational

Phase 3 Planning

Week 1: Koha Foundation

1. Stripe Account Setup

   • Create Stripe account (or use existing)
   • Get API keys (test & production)
   • Configure webhook endpoints
   • Set up NZD currency support

2. Database Schema

   • Design koha_donations collection schema
   • Add indexes for queries
   • Plan privacy/transparency balance
   • Create migration script

3. Transparency Dashboard Design

   • Wireframe public dashboard
   • Define metrics to display
   • Design donor acknowledgement section
   • Plan allocation visualization

Week 2-3: Koha Implementation

1. Backend API

   • Stripe integration service
   • Donation processing endpoints
   • Webhook handlers (payment success/failed)
   • Receipt generation
   • Public metrics API

2. Frontend Components

   • Donation form (one-time + monthly)
   • Payment processing UI
   • Thank you page
   • Transparency dashboard
   • Supporter acknowledgements

3. Testing

   • Stripe test mode transactions
   • Edge cases (failed payments, refunds)
   • Security testing
   • User flow testing

Week 4: Code Playground

1. Execution Environment

   • Sandboxed JavaScript execution
   • Pre-loaded Tractatus examples
   • Safety constraints (no network, filesystem)
   • Output capture and display

2. Demo Scenarios

   • Instruction classification examples
   • Cross-reference validation demos
   • Boundary enforcement simulations
   • Pressure monitoring visualizations

Technical Considerations

Koha (Donation) System

Critical Design Decisions Needed:

1. Privacy vs. Transparency

   • How much donor information to show publicly?
   • Default anonymous vs. opt-in acknowledgement?
   • Email storage/security for receipts

2. Payment Flow

   • Redirect to Stripe Checkout vs. embedded form?
   • Subscription management UI needed?
   • Cancellation/modification flow?

3. Transparency Dashboard

   • Real-time vs. monthly updates?
   • Show individual donations vs. aggregates?
   • Allocation breakdown accuracy?

4. NZ Tax Compliance

   • Charities Commission registration needed?
   • GST considerations for donations?
   • Receipt format requirements?

Recommended Approach:

1. Start with Stripe Checkout (simplest, most secure)
2. Default to anonymous donations with opt-in acknowledgement
3. Monthly transparency updates (not real-time)
4. Aggregate donation data, individual acknowledgements only with consent
5. Consult NZ tax advisor before launch (human decision required)

Code Playground Security

Risks:

• Arbitrary code execution
• Resource exhaustion
• XSS attacks

Mitigation:

• Use Web Workers for sandboxing
• Strict Content Security Policy
• Execution time limits
• Memory limits
• No network access
• No DOM access from sandboxed code
