# Sprint Retro — Harbormaster v12.0.0a2

**Theme:** Complete the stateBadge migration. v11.0.0a4 introduced
`window.harbormaster.stateBadgeHtml(...)` but only migrated the
network status pill — statusStrip, reembedPanel, and trajectoryList
all still rendered their own inline icon+label spans with bespoke
class maps. v12.0.0a2 closes that deviation.

## What shipped

### Helper (`_partials/_state_badge.html`)

Three new optional props extend the public contract:

- `title` — tooltip attribute. Used by the bridge badge to surface
  the heartbeat-age (`bridgeBadgeTooltip()`) without bypassing the
  helper.
- `iconHtml` — opt-in raw-HTML icon (NOT escaped). Used by the
  reembed phase badge whose `running` icon is an animated spinner
  `<span>` element.
- `ariaLabel` — override the default `aria-label` (which is `label`).
  Used so the bridge badge's visible text reads `connected` while
  screen readers announce `Bridge connected`.

Color allowlist unchanged (`emerald | amber | rose | cyan | gray`).

### statusStrip (`dashboard.html`)

- Bridge badge: routes through `stateBadgeHtml(bridgeBadgeProps())`.
  The new `bridgeBadgeProps()` builder collapses
  `bridgeStateIcon()` + `bridgeStateLabel()` + a new
  `bridgeBadgeColor()` (returning a color *name* the helper accepts)
  + `bridgeBadgeTooltip()` into one props object.
- Plugins-enabled badge: routes through
  `stateBadgeHtml(pluginsBadgeProps())`. Visual identity preserved
  (same emerald/gray + ✓/⊘ + label).
- Per-plugin status badge: routes through
  `stateBadgeHtml(pluginRowBadgeProps(row))`. Replaces the inline
  per-status class map with a `pluginRowBadgeColor(status)` helper
  returning a color name.

### reembedPanel (`dashboard.html`)

- Phase badge: routes through `stateBadgeHtml(phaseBadgeProps())`.
- `phaseBadgeProps()` passes `iconHtml: isRunning` so the animated
  spinner span (running phase) renders unescaped. Static phases
  (idle / done / failed / cancelled / cancelling) use glyphs and go
  through the default text-escape path.
- New `phaseBadgeColor()` returns the color name (mirrors
  `phaseBadgeClass()` but for the helper's allowlist).

### trajectoryList (`project_detail.html`)

- `fresh` and `stuck` tier badges route through
  `stateBadgeHtml(tierBadgeProps('fresh'|'stuck'))`. Visible label,
  color, and aria-label preserved verbatim from v6.0.0a2.
- The `stale` tier **remains a pure-spinner element**. Rationale:
  the v6.0.0a2 design intentionally chose a label-less spinner
  (role=status with `aria-label="Writing back to FleetQ"`). Routing
  it through `stateBadgeHtml` would add a visible label and break
  the screen-reader semantics. Documented in the markup with a
  v12.0.0a2 comment explaining the exception.

Coverage:

- Helper now accepts `title`, `iconHtml`, `ariaLabel` props.
- statusStrip: bridge, plugins-enabled, and per-row plugin badges
  all invoke the shared helper. Old inline `:class="bridgeBadgeClass()"`,
  enabled-class-map, and per-row-status-class-map markers are gone.
- reembedPanel: phase badge invokes the shared helper.
  `iconHtml: isRunning` flag flows through `phaseBadgeProps()`.
- trajectoryList: fresh/stuck route through helper; stale stays as
  bare spinner with role=status preserved.
- Closure: ≥4 helper invocations on the dashboard
  (bridge + plugins-enabled + per-plugin row + reembed phase).
- Color names match the helper's allowlist exactly.

## Architecture notes

- **Why props builders instead of inlining?** The dashboard template
  is large (>2 kLoC). Inline `stateBadgeHtml({state: ..., icon: ...,
  color: ..., label: ...})` invocations would clutter the markup
  with the same JavaScript object-literal in 4 places. Each
  Alpine factory now exposes a `*BadgeProps()` method that returns
  the correct shape; the template stays one-liner readable.
- **Why a color *name* in the props builders?** The helper's
  COLOR_CLASSES map enforces the Tailwind allowlist (no dynamic class
  names that would be purged). Pre-migration helpers like
  `bridgeBadgeClass()` returned the full `bg-…/50 text-…-300` string
  — couldn't be passed to the helper without re-parsing. New
  `bridgeBadgeColor()` / `phaseBadgeColor()` / `pluginRowBadgeColor()`
  encode the same selection logic but yield a name the helper
  accepts.
- **Why keep `stale` exception?** Pure-spinner is the correct shape
  for an in-progress operation that has NO label by design. The
  helper signature is "icon + label + maybe tooltip" — a spinner
  without a label conflicts with that. Documented in markup +
  retro so future maintainers don't try to "finish" the migration.

## Deviations

None. Phase scope matched plan exactly. The `stale` tier exception
is documented as a deliberate design choice, not a deviation.

## Next

Phase 3 — operator-configurable prune/revision caps (RetentionConfig
in `harbormaster.toml`).
