# Multi-Phase Implementation Summary
## Plastico Work Order Persistence System

**Date**: 2025-11-29
**Phases Completed**: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (Backend complete, UI dialogs pending)

---

## Overview

Implemented a comprehensive work order persistence system that ensures production data survives Node-RED restarts, allows resuming work orders, and makes the database the source of truth for production counts.

---

## Phase 2: Cycle Persistence (COMPLETE)

### Goal
Write good_parts and cycle_count to database every 5 seconds (throttled)

### Changes Made

**Modified Files:**
- `flows.json` - Machine Cycles function node

**Implementation:**
1. Added 5-second throttling to 4th output of Machine Cycles function
2. Uses global variable `lastWorkOrderDbWrite` to track last DB write timestamp
3. Only sends DB update when 5+ seconds have elapsed since last write
4. SQL UPDATE includes: `cycle_count`, `good_parts`, `progress_percent`, `updated_at`

**4th Output SQL:**
```sql
UPDATE work_orders
SET cycle_count = ?,
    good_parts = ?,
    progress_percent = ?,
    updated_at = NOW()
WHERE work_order_id = ?
```

**Flow:**
Machine Cycles → DB Guard (Cycles) → mariaDB

**Maximum Data Loss:** 5 seconds of cycles (typically 1-2 cycles)

**Risk Level:** LOW

---

## Phase 3: Resume/Restart Prompt (COMPLETE - Backend)

### Goal
Prevent accidental progress loss when clicking Load by prompting user to Resume or Restart

### Changes Made

**Modified Files:**
- `flows.json` - Work Order buttons function
- `flows.json` - Refresh Trigger function
- `flows.json` - Back to UI function

**New Actions in Work Order Buttons:**

1. **start-work-order** (modified):
   - Now queries database for existing progress first
   - Sets `_mode = "check-progress"`
   - Stores pending order in flow context
   - SQL: `SELECT cycle_count, good_parts, progress_percent FROM work_orders WHERE work_order_id = ?`

2. **resume-work-order** (new):
   - Loads work order with existing cycle_count and good_parts from database
   - Initializes `global.cycleCount` with existing value
   - Sets status to RUNNING
   - User must still click START to begin tracking

3. **restart-work-order** (new):
   - Resets database values to 0
   - Resets `global.cycleCount` to 0
   - Sets status to RUNNING
   - User must click START to begin tracking

**Back to UI - New Modes:**

1. **check-progress**:
   - Receives DB query results
   - If progress exists (cycles > 0 OR good_parts > 0), sends `resumePrompt` to UI
   - If no progress, auto-starts with zero values
   - Message format:
   ```javascript
   {
     topic: "resumePrompt",
     payload: {
       id, sku, target,
       cycleCount, goodParts, progressPercent
     }
   }
   ```

2. **resume**:
   - Sends activeWorkOrder to UI with database values
   - Maintains current progress

3. **restart**:
   - Sends activeWorkOrder to UI with zeroed values

**Refresh Trigger - New Routes:**
- Handles `check-progress`, `resume`, and `restart` modes
- Routes messages to Back to UI for processing

**UI Changes Needed (NOT YET IMPLEMENTED):**
- Home or Work Orders template needs resume/restart dialog
- Listen for `msg.topic === "resumePrompt"`
- Display: "WO-{id} has {goodParts}/{target} parts. Resume or Restart?"
- Two buttons:
  - Resume (green): sends `{action: "resume-work-order", payload: order}`
  - Restart (orange): sends `{action: "restart-work-order", payload: order}` with confirmation

**Risk Level:** MEDIUM (changes core Load button behavior)

---

## Phase 4: Complete Button Persistence (COMPLETE)

### Goal
Ensure final production numbers are written to work_orders before marking DONE

### Changes Made

**Modified Files:**
- `flows.json` - Work Order buttons function (complete-work-order case)

**Implementation:**
1. Before marking status = 'DONE', retrieve current global state values
2. Calculate final good_parts using same formula as Machine Cycles:
   - `finalCycles = global.cycleCount`
   - `totalProduced = finalCycles × cavities`
   - `finalGoodParts = max(0, totalProduced - scrapTotal)`

**Updated SQL:**
```sql
UPDATE work_orders
SET status = 'DONE',
    cycle_count = ?,
    good_parts = ?,
    progress_percent = 100,
    updated_at = NOW()
WHERE work_order_id = ?
```

**Parameters:** `[finalCycles, finalGoodParts, order.id]`

**Risk Level:** LOW (just ensures final sync before completion)

---

## Phase 5: Session Restore Status (COMPLETE)

### Goal
When restoring session, work order stays RUNNING but user must click START

### Changes Made

**Modified Files:**
- `flows.json` - Back to UI function (restore-query mode)

**Implementation:**
Already correctly implemented:
- Query finds work orders WHERE status = 'RUNNING'
- Restores `global.activeWorkOrder` and `global.cycleCount` from database
- Sets `trackingEnabled = false` and `productionStarted = false`
- User MUST click START button to begin tracking
- Work order remains RUNNING so user doesn't have to Load again

**Added:**
- Enhanced logging to clarify behavior
- Comment documentation of Phase 5 requirements

**Risk Level:** LOW (no logic changes, clarification only)

---

## Phase 6: Database as Source of Truth (COMPLETE)

### Goal
Make work_orders table the source of truth for UI display

### Changes Made

**Already Implemented in Phases 2-5:**

1. **Load/Resume Logic:**
   - start-work-order queries database for current values
   - resume-work-order initializes global state from database
   - restart-work-order resets database AND global state to 0

2. **Persistence:**
   - Machine Cycles writes to database every 5 seconds
   - Complete button writes final counts to database
   - All cycle_count and good_parts stored in work_orders table

3. **UI Updates:**
   - Back to UI modes (resume, restart, restore-query) use database values
   - activeWorkOrder payload includes good_parts from database
   - Work order list refresh queries database for latest values

**Data Flow:**
1. User loads work order → Query DB for progress
2. If progress exists → Prompt Resume/Restart
3. User chooses → Global state initialized from DB
4. Production runs → Every 5s write to DB
5. Node-RED restarts → Restore from DB
6. User clicks START → Continue from last persisted count

**Risk Level:** MEDIUM (changes data flow, requires testing)

---

## Phase 7: Tab Switch Refresh (OPTIONAL - NOT IMPLEMENTED)

This phase is optional UI enhancement and was not implemented. Current behavior:
- Global state maintains active work order when switching tabs
- If needed later, can add tab activation listener in Home template

## Testing Checklist (Phase 8)

### 1. New Work Order Start
- [ ] Load WO with 0 progress → should start normally (no prompt)
- [ ] Verify cycle_count and good_parts are 0 in database

### 2. Resume Existing Work Order
- [ ] Stop production at 50/200 parts
- [ ] Restart Node-RED
- [ ] Load same WO → prompt should show "50/200 parts"
- [ ] Click Resume → continues from 50
- [ ] Machine cycles → good_parts increments correctly
- [ ] Check database shows incremental updates every 5 seconds

### 3. Restart Existing Work Order
- [ ] Load WO with 100/500 parts → prompt shows
- [ ] Click Restart → (UI needs confirmation dialog)
- [ ] After restart → cycle_count and good_parts are 0 in DB
- [ ] Verify global.cycleCount is 0
- [ ] Start production → counts from 0

### 4. Tab Switch
- [ ] Start production at WO with 25 parts
- [ ] Switch to Graphs tab
- [ ] Switch back to Home
- [ ] Progress still shows 25+ parts correctly

### 5. Node-RED Restart with Restore
- [ ] Production running at 75/300 parts
- [ ] Kill Node-RED (simulate crash)
- [ ] Restart Node-RED
- [ ] Verify session restore finds RUNNING work order
- [ ] Work order shows 75± parts (within 5-second window)
- [ ] Click START → production continues from ~75

### 6. Complete Work Order
- [ ] Finish work order at 250/250 parts
- [ ] Click Done
- [ ] Query database: `SELECT cycle_count, good_parts, status FROM work_orders WHERE work_order_id = ?`
- [ ] Verify cycle_count and good_parts are persisted
- [ ] Verify status = 'DONE'

### 7. Power Failure Simulation
- [ ] Production at 150 parts
- [ ] Kill Node-RED process immediately (simulate power loss)
- [ ] Restart
- [ ] Check DB for last persisted value
- [ ] Maximum 5 seconds / 1-2 cycles of data loss

### 8. Database Persistence Verification
```sql
-- Check throttling works (updates every 5 seconds)
SELECT work_order_id, cycle_count, good_parts, updated_at
FROM work_orders
WHERE status = 'RUNNING';

-- Verify completed work orders have final counts
SELECT work_order_id, cycle_count, good_parts, status
FROM work_orders
WHERE status = 'DONE';
```

## Known Limitations

1. **UI Dialogs Not Implemented:**
   - Resume/Restart prompt dialog needs to be added to Home or Work Orders template
   - Backend sends `resumePrompt` message but UI doesn't handle it yet
   - Workaround: System auto-starts with zero values if no UI dialog present

2. **5-Second Data Loss Window:**
   - Acceptable trade-off for reduced database load
   - Typical cycle times are 3-15 seconds
   - Loss of 1-2 cycles on crash is acceptable for manufacturing use case

3. **Scrap Counting:**
   - Scrap is stored separately and added to activeWorkOrder object
   - Not persisted in throttled updates (only on complete)
   - Could be added to Phase 2 persistence if needed

---

## Rollback Instructions

If issues arise, restore from backups:

```bash
cd /home/mdares/projects/Plastico

# Rollback to before Phase 2
cp flows.json.backup flows.json

# Or rollback to specific phase
cp flows.json.backup_phase2_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS flows.json
```

Backups created:
- flows.json.backup (original)
- flows.json.backup_phase2_*
- flows.json.backup_phase3_*
- flows.json.backup_phase4_*

---
