TanStackRouterVite plugin must come BEFORE react plugin in Vite config
Root route wraps all pages with AppLayout via Outlet
/ redirects to /initiatives via beforeLoad + throw redirect
Agents, Tasks, Settings nav items rendered as disabled spans (out of Phase 16-19 scope)
shadcn CLI creates files in literal @/ dir - manually moved to src/components/ui/
File-based routing: src/routes/ directory maps to URL paths
Root layout: __root.tsx wraps all pages with AppLayout shell
Type-safe params: Route.useParams() for $id segments
Nav highlighting: activeProps on Link components
Router registration: declare module for type-safe router

Phase 16 Plan 04: Router & App Shell Summary

TanStack Router with file-based routes, persistent nav header, and page stubs for Dashboard/Detail/Inbox

Performance

  • Duration: 3 min
  • Started: 2026-02-04
  • Completed: 2026-02-04
  • Tasks: 2
  • Files modified: 15

Accomplishments

  • TanStack Router configured with Vite plugin for automatic route tree generation
  • App shell layout with header (title + New Initiative button) and navigation tabs matching wireframe
  • Four file-based routes: / (redirect), /initiatives (dashboard), /initiatives/$id (detail), /inbox
  • Type-safe route params on initiative detail page
  • Four foundational shadcn/ui components installed: button, badge, card, dropdown-menu
  • Active nav item highlighting via TanStack Router activeProps

Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

  1. Task 1: Install TanStack Router and add shadcn/ui base components - 64d751d (feat)
  2. Task 2: Create file-based routes, app shell layout, and page stubs - 6d2920d (feat)

Files Created/Modified

  • packages/web/vite.config.ts - Added TanStackRouterVite plugin before react plugin
  • packages/web/package.json - Added @tanstack/react-router, router-plugin, Radix UI deps
  • packages/web/src/components/ui/button.tsx - shadcn/ui Button component
  • packages/web/src/components/ui/badge.tsx - shadcn/ui Badge component
  • packages/web/src/components/ui/card.tsx - shadcn/ui Card component
  • packages/web/src/components/ui/dropdown-menu.tsx - shadcn/ui DropdownMenu component
  • packages/web/src/routes/__root.tsx - Root layout wrapping AppLayout with Outlet
  • packages/web/src/routes/index.tsx - Redirect / to /initiatives
  • packages/web/src/routes/initiatives/index.tsx - Dashboard stub with tRPC health check
  • packages/web/src/routes/initiatives/$id.tsx - Detail stub with type-safe $id param
  • packages/web/src/routes/inbox.tsx - Inbox page stub
  • packages/web/src/layouts/AppLayout.tsx - Persistent nav header with title, button, tabs
  • packages/web/src/router.tsx - Router creation with type registration
  • packages/web/src/routeTree.gen.ts - Auto-generated route tree manifest
  • packages/web/src/App.tsx - Replaced health check with RouterProvider

Decisions Made

  • TanStackRouterVite plugin placed before react plugin in Vite config (required by TanStack docs)
  • Root route uses AppLayout wrapper with Outlet for persistent shell across all pages
  • Index route redirects to /initiatives via beforeLoad + throw redirect pattern
  • Agents, Tasks, Settings nav items disabled (greyed out spans) since they are out of Phase 16-19 scope
  • shadcn CLI put files in literal @/ directory instead of resolving the alias; manually moved to src/components/ui/

Deviations from Plan

Auto-fixed Issues

1. [Rule 3 - Blocking] shadcn CLI output directory mismatch

  • Found during: Task 1 (shadcn/ui component installation)
  • Issue: npx shadcn@latest add created files in a literal @/components/ui/ directory instead of resolving the @/ path alias to src/
  • Fix: Moved files from packages/web/@/components/ui/ to packages/web/src/components/ui/ and removed the erroneous @/ directory
  • Files modified: Component files relocated to correct path
  • Verification: Vite build passes, imports resolve correctly
  • Committed in: 64d751d (Task 1 commit)

Total deviations: 1 auto-fixed (1 blocking) Impact on plan: Trivial path fix, no scope creep.

Issues Encountered

None

User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

Next Phase Readiness

  • Navigation skeleton complete with all route stubs in place
  • Phase 17 can implement DashboardPage content inside initiatives/index.tsx
  • Phase 18 can implement InitiativeDetailPage content inside initiatives/$id.tsx
  • Phase 19 can implement InboxPage content inside inbox.tsx
  • shadcn/ui base components (button, badge, card, dropdown-menu) ready for use
