👻 Ghost Node — Progress Log

Read this alongside CLAUDE.md at the start of every new session. Full session history (all sessions, including Q&A decisions) → ARCHIVE.md — do NOT load at session start.

⚠️ MD Update Rule — DYNAMIC, NOT STATIC

Only update the MD file whose content was actually touched this session. Not all files — only the relevant ones.

PROGRESS.md → update when any code file changed. Add a brief session entry here, move it to ARCHIVE.md when it's no longer active context.

CLAUDE.md → update only if API endpoints, DB schema, config keys, or architecture changed.

MEMORY.md → update only if a new reusable gotcha, pattern, or architecture decision was discovered.

ARCHIVE.md → move old PROGRESS.md session entries here. Also log Q&A sessions that produced lasting decisions.

If nothing changed in a session (pure Q&A, no files edited, no decisions made) → update nothing.

Current State

Version: v2.7
Status: ✅ Fully operational — 21/21 tests passing
Last session: 31 (2026-03-13) — Fixed Framer Motion SSR opacity:0 bug across all components (LandingPage hero, dashboard, StatsGrid, RecentListings, EngineConsole, ActivityLog, ListingRow, ListingsTable, ListingDetailPanel, 4 page routes). All above-the-fold elements now render visible in static HTML (opacity:1, only transforms animate). Below-fold scroll-triggered sections intentionally keep opacity:0 for scroll animations. 21/21 tests passing.
Previous session: 30 (2026-03-13) — Full marketing landing page built from AI_WEB_BRIEF.md (Hero, Platform Strip, 6-feature grid, How It Works 4-step flow, Who It's For personas, FAQ accordion, Footer CTA + site footer). Light/dark theme toggle added (ThemeToggle.tsx, localStorage-persistent, vivid lavender-ivory light palette via data-theme attribute). globals.css extended with complete [data-theme="light"] overrides for all g-* classes. 21/21 tests passing.
Previous session: 29 (2026-03-13) — Master dashboard "Mission Control" rebuilt: RecentListings (polls /api/listings every 10s), EngineConsole (status orb + controls + site health, polls /api/sites every 25s), enhanced ActivityLog (tracks engine state transitions), StatsGrid updated (keywords prop replaces engine card), utils.ts extended (formatUptime, formatMins, formatPrice, timeAgo). 21/21 tests passing.
worker.py: 5,000+ lines (definitive — ahead of all exports)
frontend/: Next.js 16 + React 19 + TypeScript + Tailwind v4 — static build in frontend/out/ (1.8MB). node_modules/ is 553MB build tooling — safe to delete, run npm install to restore.
models.py: ~420 lines
Serving: http://localhost:8000 (React UI) | http://localhost:8000/legacy (HTML fallback)

🟡 Pending Features — Priority Queue

Priority 1 — Redis Cache Layer

Replace in-memory Python dicts with Redis. Survives restarts. Enables pub/sub for live dashboard. Price cache, rate limits, job queue.

Priority 2 — Docker Compose

docker-compose.yml with worker.py + PostgreSQL + Redis. One-command startup anywhere.

Priority 3 — Lot Description Extraction

AI currently only sees lot title. Detail pages have full descriptions. Extends AI-first accuracy dramatically. How: JS_DETAIL_TEXT extractor on detail pages + new description (Text) column on Listing + pass to _ai_analyze()

Priority 4 — Frontend Visual Polish

Session 27: Full premium redesign — ambient animated gradient background (3 floating orbs + dot grid), glassmorphism shell (backdrop-blur + saturate), gradient glow cards (g-card-glow with animated border), Framer Motion staggered card/row/page animations, gradient text headings, badge system (green/amber/red/blue/purple/neutral), gradient underline active nav with glow, status pill with live pulse dot + aura shadow. New CSS prefix: g-* (e.g. bg-g-base, text-g-green). All 21 tests + build passing.

Session 28: Added a dedicated marketing landing page (frontend/components/landing/LandingPage.tsx) and switched frontend/app/page.tsx from redirect('/dashboard') to render the landing component. Root route now serves landing content in fresh static export.

🔵 Known Improvements (Lower Priority)

Item	Description
Edit Site modal	No way to edit login fields on existing sites after creation
Cloudflare Turnstile	Current solver handles reCAPTCHA/hCaptcha only — Turnstile needs `cf-clearance-scraper`
Mobile dashboard	Desktop-only — needs responsive grid breakpoints
Sort by USD price	Listings table sorts by raw price — should optionally sort by `price_usd`
N18: Site Discovery	Skipped — AI-powered discovery of new auction sites from web
