improve this to develop in to current system
For a number based habit link the taps with the scrub in the deck card. like for a tracking value 10gm . the taps value 2. should give 10 main gear in scrub and other small gears to precise track mg from gm.
for a tracking value 3000 calories with 10 taps. the scrub gear in deck card should be 10 main gear with 10 small gear to track the precise 3000/10=300 and further small gears 30/10 so 3 colories each.
Limit the taps to 10 max.
Also allow to create number with no values meaning these type of habit just logs total values and never expire. good for tracking like my visits to doctor throughout my whole life. i can just increment it always (also dont allow to decrease it). While scrubbing forward to put value allow to decrease that value for like 2 sec buffer for mistake correction only.

The key is to make the number-based habit scrubber a hierarchical precision control that connects the number of taps configured during habit creation to the gear system on the Morigrid deck card. It should support both precise, target-based tracking and permanent, increment-only counters.
Here’s a refined implementation prompt for Codex or your coding agent to integrate into the current system without breaking existing behaviour.
Writing
Morigrid: Number-Based Habit Scrubber Integration
Objective
Upgrade the existing number-based habit tracking system so that the tap configuration in the habit creation flow directly determines the hierarchical gear scrubber displayed on the deck card.
The implementation must integrate into the current Morigrid architecture, reuse existing UI components, design tokens, animations, state management, and habit persistence wherever possible. Do not create a parallel tracking system or redesign unrelated components.
1. Connect Tap Configuration to the Gear Scrubber
The number of taps selected during habit creation must determine the number of main gear divisions in the deck card's vertical scrubber.
Rules:
Maximum taps: 10.
Minimum taps: 1.
Each tap corresponds to one main gear division.
Each main gear represents an equal portion of the configured tracking target.
Smaller gears represent progressively finer increments within a main gear.
The scrubber must calculate its increments from the actual tracking target and configured precision.
The current value must always be accurately represented by the scrubber position and selected gear.
Example A: Track 10 grams
Configuration:
Target: 10 g
Main taps: 2
Precision unit: mg
Expected scrubber:
2 main gear divisions, each representing 5 g.
Each main gear subdivides into 1,000 mg increments, or an equivalent practical precision mechanism.
The scrubber displays the value in grams at the main level and milligrams at the fine level.
For example:
Main gear 1: 0 to 5 g.
Main gear 2: 5 to 10 g.
Fine adjustment: 1 mg per increment.
The scrubber should not render thousands of individual visual gears. Use a continuous or virtualized fine-scale interaction with sensible visual subdivisions and dynamically formatted values.
Example B: Track 3,000 calories
Configuration:
Target: 3,000 kcal
Main taps: 10
Fine subdivisions: 10 per main gear
Further subdivisions: 10 per fine subdivision.
Expected hierarchy:
10 main gears, each representing 300 kcal.
10 fine subdivisions per main gear, each representing 30 kcal.
10 micro-subdivisions per fine subdivision, each representing 3 kcal.
Result: the smallest increment is 3 kcal.
The scrubber should allow users to move between these levels of precision naturally, without displaying every possible increment simultaneously.
Important calculation rule
Use the configured target and precision settings to calculate the hierarchy dynamically.
For a target T, main gear count N, and subdivisions per level S:
Main gear increment = T / N
Fine increment = T / (N × S)
Micro increment = T / (N × S × S)
For the 3,000 kcal example, T = 3000, N = 10, and S = 10, producing increments of 300, 30, and 3 kcal.
Do not hardcode the examples.
Precision and unit handling
Store values using an appropriate canonical unit or exact decimal representation to avoid floating-point accumulation errors.
Support unit conversion and display formatting, including g/mg and kcal.
Do not force a target to divide evenly into the configured hierarchy. If the target or precision cannot be divided cleanly, use an appropriate minimum increment and distribute or round divisions safely without exceeding the target.
Do not permit values to fall below zero or exceed a target for target-based habits unless the existing product explicitly supports over-target tracking.
Preserve the actual value when the user switches between scrubber precision levels.
2. Integrate with the Existing Deck Card
The gear scrubber must use the current Morigrid deck card design and vertical interaction model.
Requirements:
Retain the existing vertical scrubber aesthetic and gear-based interaction.
Main gears should be visually distinct from fine subdivisions.
Use the existing Morigrid design tokens, card backgrounds, typography, colours, and motion principles.
Avoid decorative connecting lines, unnecessary gradients, excessive animation, or new visual styles.
Keep the main value readable while the user scrubs.
Provide subtle haptic feedback at main gear boundaries where supported.
Update the displayed value continuously during interaction, with persistence handled safely.
Ensure that the scrubber works on touchscreens, trackpads, and supported accessibility input methods.
Preserve existing deck scrolling and gesture behaviour. Scrubbing must not accidentally trigger deck navigation.
Use the existing gear scrubber component if available. Extend it rather than building a competing component.
3. Add Permanent Number Counters Without Targets
Introduce a number-based habit mode for counters that have no target, deadline, or expiration.
Example: Doctor visits
Initial value: 0.
No target.
No expiration date.
Each forward increment records another visit.
The counter persists throughout the user's lifetime unless the user explicitly resets or deletes the habit through an appropriate management flow.
Other examples include books completed, completed projects, trips taken, or any other cumulative count.
Habit creation behaviour
In the number-based habit creation flow:
Make the target optional.
Allow users to select a target-based or open-ended counter.
When the target is omitted, create a permanent counter with no automatic completion condition.
Keep the number of taps configurable from 1 to 10.
Allow a suitable increment unit, such as 1 visit, 1 book, or 1 completed project.
Do not require a due date or expiration date.
Preserve the current habit creation flow and only introduce the minimum UI changes needed.
Permanent counter behaviour
For a counter without a target:
Forward scrubbing increments the total.
The total never expires or automatically resets.
Do not allow ordinary scrubbing to decrease the value.
Do not apply target-completion logic, percentage progress, or target-based limits.
Display the cumulative total clearly on the deck card.
Persist the total across sessions, app restarts, and device synchronization using the current persistence architecture.
Retain historical events or change records if the existing system supports tracking history.
4. Add a Two-Second Mistake-Correction Buffer
Permanent counters must support a brief correction window for accidental increments.
Expected interaction:
The user scrubs forward to increment the counter.
The new total appears immediately.
A two-second correction window begins.
During this window, the user may reverse the most recent increment to correct a mistake.
After two seconds, the increment becomes committed and the ordinary scrubber can no longer decrease it.
Correction rules
The correction window applies only to the most recent increment or increments explicitly grouped into the same correction action.
Reversing within the window restores the previous total.
Once the window expires, backward scrubbing must not reduce the total.
Do not implement the correction as a general decrement button.
Show a subtle temporary visual indication that correction is available, such as a short-lived undo affordance or a restrained scrubber state.
The correction window must be deterministic and must not depend on animation completion.
Prevent delayed callbacks from undoing a later increment.
Handle rapid repeated scrubbing safely and define whether each increment has its own window or the interaction is grouped into a single action. Prefer per-action correction with clear, consistent behaviour.
Ensure the server or persistence layer cannot accidentally restore a stale value over a newer increment.
If the user scrubs backward after the two-second window, the value must remain unchanged. The scrubber may visually resist the movement or return to the current value.
Persistence and concurrency
Persist increments using the existing data layer.
Make counter increments atomic or otherwise concurrency-safe so that simultaneous updates from multiple devices do not silently overwrite each other.
Treat the correction as a reversal of a specific recent increment event, rather than an unrestricted assignment of an older total.
Do not allow a correction to reverse an already committed event.
If offline operation is supported, queue the event and reconcile it safely when connectivity returns.
5. Data Model and Backward Compatibility
Inspect the current habit schema before changing it.
Reuse existing fields where possible. If additional fields are needed, introduce the smallest backward-compatible extension.
Conceptual configuration:
type NumberHabitConfig = {
trackingMode: "target" | "counter";
targetValue?: number;
unit: string;
mainTapCount: number; // Integer from 1 to 10
subdivisionsPerLevel?: number;
microSubdivisionsPerLevel?: number;
minimumIncrement?: number;
};
Conceptual tracking behaviour:
type NumberHabitState = {
currentValue: number;
lastIncrementAt?: string;
pendingCorrectionEventId?: string;
};
These are conceptual contracts, not instructions to duplicate the current database schema. Adapt the implementation to the existing TypeScript types, persistence models, APIs, and validation patterns.
For counter mode:
targetValue must be absent or null.
Do not invent a target or infer one from the current value.
For target mode:
Validate the target, unit, and supported precision.
Ensure the hierarchy produces a usable scrubber range.
Do not migrate or reset existing habit values. Existing number-based habits must retain their current targets, units, progress, and historical records.
6. Testing Requirements
Add or update tests for the following cases.
Gear hierarchy
10 g target with 2 main gears.
3,000 kcal target with 10 main gears and two further subdivision levels.
Minimum and maximum tap counts.
Non-divisible targets and decimal values.
Unit conversion and precision formatting.
Scrubbing across main gear boundaries.
Correct value restoration when switching precision levels.
Permanent counters
Counter creation without a target.
Counter starts at zero unless an initial value is explicitly supported.
Repeated increments persist correctly.
Counter remains unchanged after app restart and synchronization.
Counter has no completion or expiration condition.
Ordinary backward scrubbing cannot decrease the committed total.
Increment can be corrected within two seconds.
Correction is rejected after the deadline.
Rapid increments and corrections do not affect unrelated events.
Concurrent updates do not lose increments.
Offline and synchronization behaviour follow the current architecture.
Regression testing
Existing target-based number habits continue working.
Other habit types, including yes/no, timer, and time-based habits, remain unchanged.
Existing deck navigation and scrolling continue working.
Mobile, tablet, and desktop layouts remain consistent.
Accessibility and keyboard interactions remain functional where supported.
7. Implementation Workflow
Before making changes:
Inspect the current habit creation flow and its tap configuration.
Locate the deck card's existing vertical gear scrubber and trace its state updates.
Identify the existing habit schema, APIs, persistence layer, and synchronization logic.
Determine how target-based number habits currently calculate and save progress.
Map the new hierarchy and counter mode onto the existing architecture.
Then implement the feature in small, compatible changes.
After implementation:
Run relevant unit tests, integration tests, and type checks.
Fix any regressions.
Verify the two example hierarchies against actual scrubber behaviour.
Confirm that permanent counters cannot be decremented after the correction window.
Report changed files, schema changes, migration requirements, test results, and any remaining limitations.
Acceptance criterion: Habit creation, the number-based gear scrubber, and persisted progress must behave as one coherent system. The tap count controls the main gear divisions, finer gears provide calculated precision, and targetless counters remain cumulative with a strictly time-limited correction mechanism.
Two important design decisions
1. Keep visual gears separate from mathematical precision. A 10 g habit with 1 mg precision has 10,000 possible milligram values. Rendering 10,000 gears would be impractical. Render only the visible gear hierarchy and calculate the actual value from the scrub position.
2. Treat permanent counters as event-based increments. For the doctor-visit example, recording an increment and allowing a two-second reversal is safer than letting the client overwrite the total. This also makes synchronization across devices much more reliable.
One subtle distinction: the two-second window should apply to the increment event, not remain open indefinitely just because the user keeps interacting with the card. That preserves the counter's permanent nature while still forgiving an accidental swipe.

Given these are the screens of the create flow.
and given we adding a incrementral habit in number with no target value.
I want to create templates. that will help design this habits.
make sure all habits are linked to goal auto.
If a user selects go to gym habit it should already serve the goal of Getting fit.
if a user later adds protein intake this should also serve the same goal auto.
Given you got schema and special step for other habit types.
Provide a schema and templates info we can create.

Morigrid habit template system: schema + linked-goal engine
The strongest approach for Morigrid is to make habits the actions, goals the outcomes, and milestones the ladder between them. A template should not just prefill a habit name. It should define how that habit is tracked, when it appears in the day, what its deck card does, and which larger outcome it contributes to.
Your existing eight-step creation flow already provides most of the building blocks. The template system should populate those steps rather than create a separate flow.
1. The core architecture
Goal
Get fit · Improve health · Build a career
broken into
Milestones
Build a gym routine · Improve nutrition · Stay consistent
advanced by
Go to the gym
Yes/no or sessions
Track protein
Grams per day
Both habits contribute to the same goal, even when added on different days.
The critical design decision is that goals must be reusable entities, not properties embedded inside individual habit templates. Otherwise, adding a second habit could create a duplicate goal such as “Get fit 2.”
For example:
A user creates “Go to the gym.” Morigrid links it to the existing or newly created Get fit goal.
A week later, the user adds “Track protein intake.” Morigrid recommends the same Get fit goal.
Both habits remain independent, with their own schedules and tracking types.
Their progress feeds the shared goal and its relevant milestones without double-counting progress.
2. Template schema
Separate the system into three layers:
Template definition: reusable instructions for creating a habit.
Habit instance: the user's actual habit, with their chosen schedule and progress.
Goal and milestone graph: shared outcomes that multiple habits can advance.
A template is a starting configuration, not a live object that controls every habit created from it. When a user creates a habit from a template, copy its defaults into a new habit instance. Subsequent edits should not change the original template or other users' habits.
Recommended template definition
TypeScript
type HabitTrackingType = "boolean" | "number" | "timer";
type NumberTrackingConfig = {
mode: "target" | "incremental";
targetValue?: number;
unit: string;
initialValue: number;
mainTapCount: number; // 1–10
minimumIncrement?: number;
subdivisionsPerLevel?: number;
microSubdivisionsPerLevel?: number;
};
type HabitTemplate = {
id: string;
version: number;
slug: string;
name: string;
description: string;
domain: string;
tags: string[];
icon: string;
colorToken: string;
trackingType: HabitTrackingType;
trackingConfig: {
number?: NumberTrackingConfig;
timer?: {
defaultDurationMinutes: number;
allowOverrun: boolean;
pomodoroEnabled: boolean;
};
boolean?: {
completionStyle: "single_check";
};
};
schedule: {
frequency: "daily" | "weekly" | "custom";
repeatDays?: number[];
timeSlot: "morning" | "afternoon" |
"evening" | "anytime" | "set_time";
preferredTime?: string;
};
reminder: {
enabled: boolean;
time?: string;
onlyWhenOpen: boolean;
};
goalMapping: {
primaryGoalKey: string;
secondaryGoalKeys?: string[];
primaryMilestoneKey?: string;
autoLinkPolicy: "reuse_or_create";
linkConfidence: number;
};
difficulty: "easy" | "medium" | "hard";
estimatedMinutes?: number;
completionPolicy: {
countsTowardStreak: boolean;
targetCompletionRequired: boolean;
allowOverTarget: boolean;
};
isActive: boolean;
};
Schema rules
id must be stable across template updates. Use slug for human-readable identification, not as the database's only key.
trackingType must match one of the three supported types in the existing creation flow.
trackingConfig.number.mode distinguishes target-based habits from permanent counters. A targetless counter must not be represented by a target of zero.
mainTapCount must be an integer between 1 and 10.
goalMapping.primaryGoalKey must reference a canonical goal definition, not a user's goal ID.
linkConfidence is a recommendation score, not a probability unless it has been calibrated.
colorToken should reference existing Morigrid design tokens or category colors, rather than storing arbitrary UI colors in each template.
Store template versions so future edits to defaults do not silently change existing user habits.
User habit instance
This is the important distinction between the template and the user's actual record.
TypeScript
type UserHabit = {
id: string;
userId: string;
templateId?: string;
templateVersion?: number;
name: string;
description?: string;
domain: string;
icon: string;
colorToken: string;
trackingType: "boolean" | "number" | "timer";
trackingConfig: Record;
schedule: Record;
reminder: Record;
status: "active" | "paused" | "archived";
createdAt: string;
updatedAt: string;
};
Retain your current persisted habit fields wherever they already exist, including targetValue, unit, calculatedTaps, repeatDays, targetTime, and reminder settings. The structures above describe logical contracts; they are not a requirement to replace the existing SwiftData or Firestore models.
3. Canonical goal schema
The canonical goal catalogue is what makes automatic linking work across separate creation sessions.
TypeScript
type GoalDefinition = {
key: string;
name: string;
description: string;
domain: string;
aliases: string[];
suggestedMilestones: Array;
matchingKeywords: string[];
isActive: boolean;
};
type UserGoal = {
id: string;
userId: string;
canonicalGoalKey?: string;
name: string;
description: string;
domain: string;
type: "project" | "routine";
status: "active" | "completed" | "paused";
createdFrom: "template" | "habit" | "manual" | "ai";
progress: number;
deadline?: string;
createdAt: string;
updatedAt: string;
};
type UserMilestone = {
id: string;
userId: string;
goalId: string;
canonicalMilestoneKey?: string;
name: string;
description?: string;
sequence: number;
status: "pending" | "active" | "completed";
progress: number;
};
Many-to-many habit-goal linking
Do not store a single goalId directly on the habit as the only relationship. A habit can support multiple goals, and a goal can receive progress from many habits.
Use a relationship record:
TypeScript
type HabitGoalLink = {
id: string;
userId: string;
habitId: string;
goalId: string;
relationship: "primary" | "secondary";
source: "template" | "automatic" | "manual";
confidence: number;
createdAt: string;
isActive: boolean;
};
type HabitMilestoneLink = {
id: string;
userId: string;
habitId: string;
milestoneId: string;
contributionType:
| "completion"
| "quantity"
| "duration";
contributionConfig?: {
unit?: string;
amountPerEvent?: number;
};
createdAt: string;
isActive: boolean;
};
Enforce uniqueness for active habit-goal relationships, so repeated template application or sync retries cannot create duplicate links.
Important: Do not use a habit's completion percentage as the goal's progress percentage. A gym session and a protein target contribute differently. Keep goal progress, milestone progress, and habit completion as distinct concepts.
4. Automatic goal-linking rules
The system needs to remember the user's existing goals and reuse them intelligently. This should happen when creating a habit from a template, from natural language, or manually through the curated template browser.
Goal resolution algorithm
TypeScript
async function resolvePrimaryGoal(
userId: string,
template: HabitTemplate
) {
const key = template.goalMapping.primaryGoalKey;
// 1. Reuse an active goal with the same canonical key.
const existing = await findActiveGoalByCanonicalKey(
userId,
key
);
if (existing) return existing;
// 2. Check for a matching legacy or manually created goal.
const semanticMatch = await findMatchingUserGoal(
userId,
key,
template.name
);
if (semanticMatch && semanticMatch.confidence >= 0.85) {
return await attachCanonicalKeyIfSafe(
semanticMatch.goal,
key
);
}
// 3. Create one goal from the canonical definition.
const definition = await getGoalDefinition(key);
const goal = await createUserGoal({
userId,
canonicalGoalKey: key,
name: definition.name,
description: definition.description,
domain: definition.domain,
type: "routine",
status: "active",
createdFrom: "template",
progress: 0
});
// 4. Create recommended milestones idempotently.
await ensureRecommendedMilestones(goal, definition);
return goal;
}
This is illustrative pseudocode. Adapt the function names and transaction handling to the existing repositories and persistence layer.
Linking behaviour by situation
Situation
Expected behaviour
First gym habit
Create or reuse Get fit
Add protein tracking later
Reuse the same Get fit
Add water tracking
Reuse Improve health or the user's chosen health goal, depending on the template mapping
Same template selected twice
Create two independent habits, not duplicate goals
User already has a manually named fitness goal
Match it if the semantic match is sufficiently strong
Two possible goals match
Show a brief choice instead of silently linking incorrectly
Goal completed or archived
Do not silently reactivate it; ask whether to create a new goal or link another active goal
User explicitly selects another goal
Respect the user's choice
Offline creation
Queue goal resolution and reconcile without duplicate goals when sync resumes
Use a transaction or equivalent idempotent operation when creating a goal and its default milestones. Concurrent creation on two devices must not produce two canonical goals for the same user.
How the goal graph should behave
A habit has one primary goal by default.
It can have optional secondary goals when the relationship is genuinely relevant.
Each habit can contribute to one or more milestones.
A habit completion must never increment a goal or milestone twice because of a sync retry.
Adding a new habit must not reset the goal's existing progress or historical records.
Users must be able to change goal links later without losing their habit history.
For example, Go to the gym and Track protein intake can both support Get fit, but they should contribute to different milestones. A completed gym session should not automatically count as consuming a protein target.
5. Template catalogue: initial 30 templates
Start with a curated set of templates that demonstrate all three tracking types, including the new incremental number habit. Every template below has a primary canonical goal and should be auto-linked when created.
The goal and milestone keys are stable identifiers for the catalogue. They can be seeded into the existing goal system rather than introducing a separate goal engine.

For the doctor-visit counter, the value is a cumulative lifetime total. Do not treat it as a daily habit that resets at midnight. Each increment should create a distinct event, with the two-second correction window applying only to that recent event.
7. Map the templates onto your existing eight-step flow
The screenshots show that you already have the right creation steps. Templates should populate them intelligently.
Existing step
Template behaviour
1. Intent
Pre-fill the habit name and description
2. Tracking type
Select yes/no, number, or timer
3. Category
Preselect the domain, icon and colour token
4. Schedule
Populate frequency and repeat days
5. Time of day
Select the default time slot
6. Reminder
Configure the default reminder, if applicable
7. Goal and milestones
Resolve the canonical goal and attach the recommended milestone
8. Review
Show the complete habit, tracking mode and linked goal before creation
For number-based templates, step 2 should also prefill the target or incremental mode, unit, and tap count.
For timer templates, populate the session duration and any supported timer-specific options. Do not show irrelevant numeric-target controls on yes/no or timer habits.

Writing
Morigrid: Implement the Habit Template and Auto-Linking System
Goal
Integrate a data-driven habit template catalogue into the existing Morigrid habit creation flow. Ensure that every habit created from a template automatically links to a relevant primary goal, reusing existing goals across sessions.
Requirements
Inspect the existing SwiftData models, Firestore collections, habit creation flow, goal models, milestone models, and repository/service layers before making changes.
Reuse existing models and fields. Do not replace the current persistence architecture or create parallel habit and goal systems.
Create a versioned template catalogue with stable IDs, tracking configuration, schedule defaults, reminder defaults, domain metadata, and canonical goal/milestone mappings.
Seed the initial 30 templates from the approved catalogue.
Support all existing habit tracking types: boolean, number, and timer.
Extend number tracking to distinguish target-based habits from targetless incremental counters.
Enforce a main tap count between 1 and 10 for number habits.
Support lifetime counters with no target, no expiry, no daily reset, and no target-completion requirement.
Apply the existing two-second mistake-correction rule to recent counter increment events. Committed events cannot be decremented through ordinary scrubbing.
Implement canonical goal resolution:
Reuse the user's active goal with the matching canonical key.
Safely match legacy or manually created goals where appropriate.
Create a goal only when no suitable goal exists.
Create recommended milestones idempotently.
Avoid duplicate goals and links under concurrent creation or sync retries.
Support many-to-many habit-goal and habit-milestone relationships, reusing existing equivalent relationships where present.
Give every template a primary goal. Do not permit template-created habits to be left unlinked when a valid goal can be created or reused.
Use separate milestone contributions for distinct actions. Do not count a gym completion as protein consumption or blindly add completion percentages together.
Respect user-selected goals and preserve existing habits, goal progress, streaks, and historical records.
Update the existing eight-step flow to display prefilled template values, linked goals, and milestone associations in the review step.
Ensure that editing or versioning a template does not silently overwrite existing user-created habits.
Add tests for all tracking types, goal reuse, duplicate prevention, migration compatibility, incremental counters, and synchronization.
Delivery requirements
Provide the actual seed data for all 30 templates.
Identify every changed model, repository, service, UI component, and migration.
Run relevant tests and type/build checks.
Demonstrate that adding "Go to the gym" and later "Track protein intake" reuses the same canonical Get Fit goal.
Demonstrate that Doctor Visits creates a lifetime counter that cannot be decremented after its correction window.
Report any unsupported schema or platform limitations instead of silently implementing a substitute.
Do not redesign unrelated screens or introduce a new visual language. Follow the existing Morigrid design tokens and components.
One final architectural recommendation: make the canonical goal catalogue independent of the 30 starter templates. That lets you add hundreds of new templates later without multiplying goal definitions. The template system becomes the seed for the user's personal ladder, while the goal graph remains the durable structure that connects their habits over time.

here is the plan of the app next phase.
Tell me graphically what does this mean.
also expalin what is wrong and what is right in the plan.

9. Graphical explanation of the proposed next phase
The plan is essentially a six-part upgrade. The app already has much of the visible machinery, but several internal connections are incomplete.
1. Existing habit engine
Gear hierarchy · vertical scrubber · tap settings · basic correction window
Mostly implemented
2. Fix counter correctness
Each increment gets an identity. Undo reverses that event, not an arbitrary amount.
Critical first
3. Repair data and sync
Schema V2 · event tombstones · target/unit/tap synchronization · duplicate-goal reconciliation
4. Build the goal resolver
Canonical goal definitions · matching · reuse · milestone assignment · ambiguity handling
5. Populate 30 templates
Typed, versioned template data with tracking settings and canonical goal/milestone keys
6. Connect the creation flow
Template selection prefills the eight steps. The user reviews, edits and confirms creation.
This sequence is important. If you load the 30 templates before building reliable goal resolution, you'll populate the catalogue but risk creating duplicate goals and broken associations.
10. What is right in the plan?
A. Fix the data model instead of rebuilding the scrubber
The report identifies existing gear levels, tap persistence, correction logic, and tests. Extending those components avoids two competing implementations and reduces regression risk.
B. Give every counter increment its own identity
This is the most important correctness improvement. A doctor visit is an event, not just a number written over the previous total. Unique event IDs and reversal markers make undo and synchroniz
