Decisions Captured

Walk Session UI & HUD Layout

• D-01: Full-screen MapLibre viewport with floating glassmorphism HUD pills (MM:SS timer, meters/km distance counter, GPS signal chip) and bottom floating action dock.
• D-02: Live metrics displayed in top HUD: elapsed duration (MM:SS), distance in meters/km, and GPS signal status chip (e.g., Live / Searching / Weak).
• D-03: Pre-walk landing state on /walk displays live interactive map centered on user location with floating bottom card ("Start Walk" button and walk mode badge).
• D-04: Seamless auto-restoration of active walk session upon reload/background return with a brief toast notification ("Active walk resumed") and camera fly-to latest GPS fix.

GPS Jitter & Weak Signal UX

• D-05: Subtle amber status chip in HUD ("Weak GPS ±Xm") when accuracy degrades beyond 35m, quietly pausing breadcrumb recording until accuracy improves.
• D-06: Stationary stops (wildlife viewing/photo taking) do not append duplicate jitter points to the polyline; updates active timestamp while maintaining last known fix.
• D-07: Resuming from background throttling connects the gap continuously to the newly acquired GPS fix and recalculates distance via Haversine formula.
• D-08: GPS permission revocation or signal loss mid-walk keeps session active with an actionable top alert ("Re-enable Location" trigger) preserving prior points.

Map Camera & Trail Navigation

• D-09: Camera auto-follows user location marker by default; user dragging pauses follow-mode and displays a floating "Recenter" button.
• D-10: Current location marker styled with Tangerin Dream terracotta/orange dot, subtle pulsing beacon ring, and heading arrow when device orientation is available.
• D-11: Breadcrumb trail rendered as a terracotta brand color polyline (4px width, rounded joints) accompanied by a subtle "Approximate path" micro-legend pill.
• D-12: Floating thumb-accessible control stack on the right edge: Recenter button, Zoom +/- buttons, and North compass reset.

End Walk Flow & Summary Modal

• D-13: Hold-to-confirm button or 2-tap confirmation sheet guards against accidental walk termination while walking outdoors.
• D-14: Walk summary presented as a bottom drawer / modal sheet over the map with bounding-box fitted trail review and metrics grid (duration, distance, species count).
• D-15: Short/empty walks (< 1 minute or < 25 meters) prompt "Discard Walk" vs "Save Anyway" to prevent cluttering Dexie walk history.
• D-16: Primary "Done" action on summary card closes sheet and resets /walk back to the ready-to-start state, with a link to "View in Journal".

UI Elements & Components in Scope for Phase 2

In Phase 2 (Walk Session & Geolocation Tracking), we establish the outdoor map tracking UI for /walk. The components break down across 4 key lifecycle states:

1. Pre-Walk Viewport

• Interactive Map Canvas (MapLibre GL): OpenFreeMap Liberty style vector rendering centered on the user's initial GPS location.
• Pre-Walk Card (Card):
  • Heading: "Ready to Explore"
  • Mode badge (Badge): "Free Walk" / "Loop"
  • Primary CTA (Button): "Start Walk" (Terracotta --color-primary)

2. Active Walk Session HUD & Actions

• Top Glassmorphism HUD Bar: Floating pill container with backdrop blur:
  • Elapsed Time: MM:SS using tabular numerals (JetBrains Mono)
  • Cumulative Distance: Scaled dynamically (450 m → 3.24 km)
  • GPS Status Chip: "Live" (green pulse), "Searching..." (amber pulse), or "Weak GPS ±{X}m" (amber badge)
• On-Screen Navigation Stack (right thumb margin):
  • Recenter FAB: Resumes follow-camera tracking with heading orientation
  • Zoom Controls: + and - touch targets (min 48px)
  • North Compass: Resets bearing to true north
• Bottom Action Dock:
  • End Walk Button: Hold-to-confirm button with circular progress fill to guard against accidental pocket taps outdoors
  • Camera Capture Placeholder: Scaffolded action slot for Phase 3 photo capture

3. Map Layers & Markers

• User Location Puck: Tangerin Dream terracotta dot (#F35C2B) with a subtle pulsing radar wave and directional heading arrow.
• Breadcrumb Trail: Continuous 4px terracotta polyline with rounded joins representing the filtered GPS path.
• Micro-Legend: Subtle translucent chip in map corner labeled "Approximate path".

4. Post-Walk Summary & Recovery Overlays

• Walk Summary Bottom Sheet (Sheet):
  • Automatically fits the completed trail's bounding box onto the background map.
  • Metrics grid: Total duration, total distance, walking pace, and confirmed species count (0).
  • Primary Action: "Done" (closes sheet and returns to pre-walk state).
  • Secondary Action: "View in Journal".
• Short-Walk Confirmation Dialog (Dialog):
  • Triggers if walk is < 1 minute or < 25 meters with options: "Discard Walk" vs "Save Anyway".
• Location Alert Banner:
  • Non-blocking top alert shown if GPS permissions are revoked or disabled mid-walk with "Re-enable Location" trigger.

---

UI Contract Quality Sign-Off (6/6 Dimensions Passed)

• Copywriting: Specific verb+noun actions ("Start Walk", "End Walk", "Discard Walk", "Done"), actionable empty/error states.
• Visuals: Map canvas as primary focal point; top HUD as secondary; thumb-accessible right stack.
• Color: 60% dark surface / 30% card & glassmorphism / 10% accent (#F35C2B terracotta reserved for trail polyline, beacon dot, "Start Walk" button, and follow focus ring).
• Typography: 4 scale steps (28px display, 20px heading, 16px body, 14px label), 2 weights (400, 600).
• Spacing: Strict 8-point scale (4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64px) with 48px outdoor touch targets.
• Registry: Official shadcn Base UI components only (@/components/ui/).

Key Evidence & Test Results

1. Geolocation Filter & Haversine Distance (scripts/test-geolocation-filter.ts):
   • Verified geodesic calculations (Earth radius 6,371,000m) matching real Central Park benchmarks (3851.3m, ±0.1%).
   • Verified accuracy threshold cutoff (> 35m rejected as accuracy_too_low).
   • Verified stationary jitter suppression (< 5m within 15s rejected as stationary_jitter).
   • Verified 15s stationary stop bypass and actual displacement acceptance.
2. Dexie Walk Lifecycle & Persistence (scripts/test-active-walk.ts):
   • Verified initial state, UUID generation, active walk auto-resume query (endedAt === null).
   • Verified point accumulation, cumulative Haversine distance, and 1500ms debounced write-through buffering.
   • Verified session completion and short-walk discard (< 1 min or < 25m) purging cleanly from Dexie.
3. Headless Browser SSR & UI Verification (obscura):
   • Headless client fetch rendered the Liberty map container, "Free Walk" badge, GPS status indicator, "Ready to Explore" landing card, and "Start Walk" primary CTA button.
4. Next.js 16.4 Production Build (pnpm build):
   • All client and server components compiled cleanly under Turbopack with 0 type errors.
