The rep app: open it on site, it finds who's around you, tick who you
saw, done. Third instance of the per-route-group PWA pattern already
running here (/m boss phone, /counter), so it reuses MobileAuthGate and
gets its own manifest + service worker.
Phone GPS is the primary position source, not the vehicle tracker. The
tracker knows where the bakkie is; the phone knows where the rep is,
and those diverge by a few hundred metres once the rep walks into the
plant. GPS also needs no network, which matters because mine shafts
have poor signal. The tracker is the secondary path
(GET /api/v1/visits/position) for when location is denied or
unavailable. The independently-collected vehicle trail corroborates
check-ins afterwards, so honesty doesn't depend on the phone.
Matching runs on the phone, not the server. The app caches a compact
customer snapshot and runs rankNearbyCustomers locally, so there's one
code path that behaves identically online and off — rather than a
server path plus an offline fallback that only gets exercised in the
places it's hardest to debug.
- (rep)/rep/ layout, page, check-in view, outbox
- visits-service.ts getCustomerSnapshot, recordVisits
- POST /api/v1/visits record a check-in
- GET /api/v1/visits/customers snapshot for the offline cache
- GET /api/v1/visits/position tracker fallback
- public/manifest-rep.json, public/sw-rep.js, pickSwPath() branch
These routes authenticate with the browser session, not AGENT_API_KEY —
the caller is a logged-in rep. The rep id comes from the validated
session rather than the request body, so a client can't log a visit as
someone else.
The outbox uses localStorage rather than IndexedDB deliberately: the
payloads are tiny and localStorage is synchronous, which matters when
the rep hits Save and immediately pockets the phone. Entries are only
removed once the server acknowledges them, so a failed flush retries
instead of dropping a visit — duplicates are preferred over loss, and
surfaced rather than merged. Permanently-rejected entries (4xx other
than 401/408/429) are dropped so one bad row can't wedge the queue.
recordVisits writes each visit independently: a stale customer id
shouldn't cost the other four visits in a queued batch.
BLOCKED until one PB admin change: rep_visits.position_source does not
yet allow "phone" — verified against the live instance, PB returns
400 "Invalid value phone". Add it to the select. Separately,
accuracy_m is silently accepted and discarded (PB ignores unknown
fields), so GPS accuracy is thrown away until that number field is
added; not blocking.
47 new tests. Verified on :4001: /rep serves 200 with the right
metadata, manifest-rep.json and sw-rep.js are served.
