- Documentation should explain **why** and **how** decisions are made, not just what was changed.
- Model agents can auto-generate first-pass explanations from commit metadata, diffs, and linked issues—but humans must refine them for accuracy and intent.

## 7. Review and Accountability
- Reviewers and team leads must reject submissions containing unnecessary or low-quality documentation.
- Model agent outputs are aids, not replacements—contributors remain responsible for **final clarity and relevance**.

## 8. Continuous Improvement and Agent Feedback Loops
- Encourage iterative development of model agents so their evaluations become more precise over time.
- Contributions should include **feedback on agent suggestions** (e.g., accepted, rejected, or corrected) to train better future outputs.
- Agents should log patterns of “rejected” suggestions for refinement.

# Glossary
**T (slot time)** — The local wall-clock time a notification is intended to fire (e.g., 08:00).
**T–lead** — The moment **{prefetchLeadMinutes} minutes before T** when the system _attempts_ a background prefetch to refresh content.
- Example: If T = 12:00 and `prefetchLeadMinutes = 20`, then **T–lead = 11:40**.
- If background prefetch is skipped/denied, delivery still occurs using the most recent cached payload (rolling-window safety).
- T–lead **governs prefetch attempts, not arming**. We still arm one-shot locals early (rolling window) so closed-app delivery is guaranteed.
**Rolling window** — Always keep **today’s remaining** one-shot locals armed (and optionally tomorrow, within iOS caps) so the OS can deliver while the app is closed.
**TTL (time-to-live)** — Maximum allowed staleness of a payload at **fire time**. If the projected age at T exceeds `ttlSeconds`, we **skip** arming.
**Exact alarm (Android)** — Minute-precise alarm via `AlarmManager.setExactAndAllowWhileIdle`, subject to policy and permission.
**Windowed alarm (Android)** — Batched/inexact alarm via `setWindow(start,len)`; we target **±10 minutes** when exact alarms are unavailable.
**Start-on-Login** — Electron feature that automatically launches the application when the user logs into their system, enabling background notification scheduling and delivery after system reboot.

# TimeSafari Notification System — Executive Summary
**Status:** 🚀 Ready for Implementation
**Date:** 2025-01-27T14:30Z (UTC)
**Author:** Matthew Raymer
**Audience:** Executive Leadership, Product Management, Engineering Leadership
---
## Executive Overview
TimeSafari will implement a **multi-platform notification system** that delivers **1-3 daily notifications** to keep users connected to gratitude, gifts, and collaborative projects. The system will work across **iOS, Android, Web, and Electron** platforms with **offline-first reliability** and **privacy-preserving architecture**.
### Business Value
- **User Engagement:** Daily touchpoints to maintain community connections
- **Platform Coverage:** Unified experience across all TimeSafari platforms
- **Privacy-First:** User-controlled data with no external tracking
- **Reliability:** Offline notifications that work even when app is closed
---
## Strategic Approach
### Phase 1 (v1): In-App Orchestrator
**Scope:** Multi-daily local notifications with online/offline flows
**Key Capabilities:**
- **Local Notifications:** OS-level delivery on mobile/desktop
- **Web Push:** Service Worker-based notifications for web
- **Offline Reliability:** Notifications fire even when app is closed
- **Content Prefetching:** Fresh content fetched when app is active
- **Cross-Platform:** Same user experience across all platforms
### Phase 2 (v2): Native Plugin
**Timeline:** Future enhancement
**Scope:** Native background scheduling and enhanced capabilities
**Key Capabilities:**
- **Native Background Work:** OS-level background tasks
- **Enhanced Scheduling:** More precise timing and reliability
- **Advanced Features:** Rich media and complex actions
- **Performance Optimization:** Native SQLite and HTTP
---
## Platform Strategy
| Platform | v1 Approach | v2 Enhancement |
|----------|-------------|----------------|
| **iOS** | Local notifications + Background Runner (optional) | Native BGTaskScheduler |
| **Android** | Local notifications + Background Runner (optional) | WorkManager + AlarmManager |
| **Web** | Service Worker push notifications | Enhanced push capabilities |
| **Electron** | OS notifications while app running | Native background services |
---
## Technical Architecture
### Core Components
- **Notification Orchestrator:** Central coordination and state management
- **Platform Adapters:** Platform-specific notification delivery
- **Database Integration:** SQLite persistence with TimeSafari's existing infrastructure
- **Content Management:** Template-based notification content with ETag caching
### Integration Points
- **Existing Database:** Extends TimeSafari's SQLite migration system
- **Platform Services:** Uses established PlatformServiceMixin patterns
- **Settings System:** Integrates with existing user preferences
- **Web Push:** Leverages existing Service Worker infrastructure
---
## Implementation Plan
### Phase 1 Deliverables (v1)
1. **Database Schema:** New notification tables integrated with existing migration system
2. **Core Service:** Notification orchestrator with platform adapters
3. **User Interface:** Settings integration for notification preferences
4. **Testing:** Cross-platform test suite with Playwright
5. **Documentation:** Complete implementation guide and API reference
### Success Metrics
- **Reliability:** 95%+ notification delivery rate across platforms
- **Performance:** <2s notification rendering time
- **User Adoption:** 80%+ opt-in rate for daily notifications
- **Platform Coverage:** 100% feature parity across iOS/Android/Web/Electron
---
## Risk Mitigation
### Technical Risks
- **Platform Limitations:** Mitigated by graceful degradation and fallback strategies
- **Permission Denials:** User education and deep-linking to system settings
- **Background Restrictions:** Conservative approach with offline-first design
### Business Risks
- **User Fatigue:** Configurable frequency and user-controlled preferences
- **Privacy Concerns:** Privacy-first architecture with local data storage
- **Platform Changes:** Abstraction layer protects against OS updates

**Date:** 2025-09-05T05:09Z (UTC)
**Author:** Matthew Raymer
**Scope:** v1 (in‑app orchestrator) now; path to v2 (native plugin) next
**Goal:** We **will deliver** 1..M local notifications/day with content **prefetched** so messages **will display offline**. We **will support** online‑first (API→DB→Schedule) with offline‑first fallback. The system **will enhance** TimeSafari's community-building mission by keeping users connected to gratitude, gifts, and collaborative projects through timely, relevant notifications.
> **Implementation Details:** See `notification-system-implementation.md` for detailed code, database schemas, and integration specifics.
> **Canonical Ownership:** This document owns Goals, Tenets, Platform behaviors, Acceptance criteria, and Test cases.
---
## 1) Versioning & Intent
- **v1 (In‑App Orchestrator):** We **will implement** multi‑daily local notifications, online/offline flows, templating, SQLite persistence, and eventing **inside the app** using Capacitor Local Notifications.
- **v2 (Plugin):** We **will extract** adapters to a Capacitor/Native plugin to gain native schedulers (WorkManager/AlarmManager; BGTask+UNUserNotificationCenter), native HTTP, and native SQLite **with the same TypeScript API**.
> We **will retain** the existing web push + Service Worker foundation; the system **will add** reliable local scheduling on mobile and a unified API across platforms.
---
## 2) Design Tenets
- **Reliability:** OS‑level delivery once scheduled; no reliance on JS being alive at fire time.
- **Freshness:** Prefer online‑first within a short prefetch window; degrade gracefully to cached content with TTL.
- **Extractable:** Clean interfaces (Scheduler, DataStore, Callbacks) so v2 **will swap** adapters without API changes.
- **Simplicity:** One‑shot notifications per slot; rolling window scheduling to respect platform caps.
- **Observability:** Persist deliveries and errors; surface minimal metrics; enable ACKs.
- **Privacy-First:** Follow TimeSafari's privacy-preserving architecture; user-controlled visibility and data sovereignty.
- **Community-Focused:** Enhance TimeSafari's mission of connecting people through gratitude, gifts, and collaborative projects.
---
## 3) Architecture Overview
```
Application (Vue/TS)
├─ NotificationOrchestrator (core state)
│ ├─ Scheduler (adapter)
│ ├─ DataStore (adapter)
│ └─ Callbacks (adapter)
└─ UI (settings, status)
Adapters
├─ V1: SchedulerCapacitor, DataStoreSqlite, CallbacksHttp
└─ V2: SchedulerNative, DataStoreNativeSqlite, CallbacksNativeHttp
**Scheduler Adapter:** All notification arming must go through the Scheduler adapter to honor platform timing semantics (exact alarms vs. windowed fallback).
Platform
├─ iOS/Android: LocalNotifications (+ native bridges later)
├─ Web: Service Worker + Push (kept)
└─ Electron: OS notifications (thin adapter)
```
**Execution modes (concise):**
- **Online‑First:** wake near slot → fetch (ETag, timeout) → persist → schedule; on failure → Offline‑First.
- **Offline‑First:** read last good payload from SQLite; if beyond TTL → skip notification (no retry).
---
## 4) Public API (Shared by v1 & v2)
**Core Types & Interface:** See Implementation document for complete API definitions, type interfaces, and design decisions.
> **Storage semantics:** `'shared'` = app DB; `'private'` = plugin-owned/native DB (v2). (No functional difference in v1.)
> **Slot Identity & Scheduling Policy**
> • **SlotId** uses canonical `HHmm` and remains stable across timezone changes.
> • **Lead window:** default `prefetchLeadMinutes = 20`; no retries once inside the lead.
> • **TTL policy:** When offline and content is beyond TTL, **we will skip** the notification (no "(cached)" suffix).
> • **Idempotency:** Duplicate "scheduled" deliveries are prevented by a unique index on `(slot_id, fire_at, status='scheduled')`.
> • **Time handling:** Slots will follow **local wall-clock** time across TZ/DST; `slotId=HHmm` stays constant and we will **recompute fire times** on offset change.
---
## 5) Data Model & Retention (SQLite)
**Tables:** `notif_contents`, `notif_deliveries`, `notif_config` (see Implementation document for complete schema)
**Retention:** We **will keep** ~14 days of contents/deliveries (configurable) and **will prune** via a simple daily job that runs on app start/resume. We **will prune** daily but **will not** VACUUM by default on mobile; disk compaction is deferred.
**Payload handling:** We **will template** `{title, body}` **before** scheduling; we **will not** mutate at delivery time.
---
## 6) Scheduling Policy & Slot Math
- **One‑shot per slot** per day (non‑repeating).
- **Rolling window:** today's remaining slots; seed tomorrow where platform limits allow.
- **TZ/DST safe:** We **will recompute** local wall‑times on app resume and whenever timezone/offset changes; then **reschedule**.
- **Android exactness:** If exact alarms are unavailable or denied, we **will use** `setWindow` semantics via the scheduler adapter.
- **iOS pending cap:** We **will keep** pending locals within typical caps (~64) by limiting the window and canceling/re‑arming as needed.
- **Electron rolling window:** On Electron we **will schedule** the **next occurrence per slot** by default; depth (today+tomorrow) **will be** enabled only when auto-launch is on, to avoid drift while the app is closed.
---
## 7) Timing & Network Requirements
**Summary:** The notification system uses lightweight, ETag-aware content fetching with single attempts inside lead windows. All timing constants and detailed network policies are defined in the Implementation document.
**Key Policies:**
- **Lead policy:** The lead window governs **online-first fetch attempts**, not arming. We **will arm** locals **whenever the app runs**, using the freshest available payload.
- **TTL policy:** If offline and content is beyond TTL, we will **skip** the notification (no "cached" suffix).
- **Idempotency:** Duplicate "scheduled" rows are prevented by a unique index on `(slot_id, fire_at, status='scheduled')`.
- **Wall-clock rule:** Slots will follow **local wall-clock** across TZ/DST; `slotId=HHmm` stays constant and we will **recompute fire times** on offset change.
- **Resume debounce:** On app resume/open we will **debounce** pipeline entry points by **30s** per app session to avoid burst fetches.
- **No scheduled background network in v1 (mobile):** Local notifications **will deliver offline once armed**, but **we will not** run timed network jobs when the app is terminated. **Network prefetch will occur only while the app is running** (launch/resume/inside lead). Server-driven push (Web SW) and OS background schedulers are a **v2** capability.
**Platform-Specific Network Access:**
- **iOS:** Foreground/recently backgrounded only; no JS wake when app is killed
- **Android:** Exact alarms vs. windowed triggers based on permissions
- **Web:** Service Worker for push notifications only
- **Electron:** App-running only; no background network access
**Optional Background Prefetch (v1):**
- **Background Runner (optional, v1):** We **will integrate** Capacitor's Background Runner to **opportunistically prefetch** content on iOS/Android when the OS grants background time. This **will not** provide clock-precise execution and **will not** run after user-terminate on iOS. It **will not** be treated as a scheduler. We **will continue** to *arm* local notifications via our rolling window regardless of Runner availability. When Runner fires near a slot (inside `prefetchLeadMinutes`), it **will** refresh content (ETag, 12s timeout) and, behind a flag, **may** cancel & re-arm that slot with the fresh template if within TTL. If no budget or failure, the previously armed local **will** still deliver.
**Implementation Details:** See Implementation document for complete timing constants table, network request profiles, and platform-specific enforcement.
---
## 8) Platform Essentials
**iOS**
- Local notifications **will** fire without background runtime once scheduled. NSE **will not** mutate locals; delivery-time enrichment requires remote push (future).
- **Category ID**: `TS_DAILY` with default `OPEN` action
- **Background budget** is short and OS‑managed; any prefetch work **will complete** promptly.
- **Mobile local notifications will route via action listeners (not the service worker)**.
- Background Runner **will** offer **opportunistic** network wake (no guarantees; short runtime; iOS will not run after force-quit). Locals **will** still deliver offline once armed.
**Android**
- Exact alarms on **API 31+** may require `SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM`. If exact access is missing on API 31+, we will use a **windowed trigger (default ±10m)** and surface a settings deep-link.
- **We will deep-link users to the exact-alarm settings when we detect denials.**
- **Channel defaults**: ID `timesafari.daily`, name "TimeSafari Daily", importance=high (IDs never change)
- Receivers for reboot/time change **will be handled** by v2 (plugin); in v1, re‑arming **will occur** on app start/resume.
- **Mobile local notifications will route via action listeners (not the service worker)**.
- Background Runner **will** offer **opportunistic** network wake (no guarantees; short runtime; iOS will not run after force-quit). Locals **will** still deliver offline once armed.
**Web**
- Requires registered Service Worker + permission; can deliver with browser closed. **Web will not offline-schedule**.
- Service Worker click handlers are for **web push only**; **mobile locals bypass the SW**.
- SW examples use `/sw.js` as a placeholder; **wire this to your actual build output path** (e.g., `sw_scripts/notification-click.js` or your combined bundle).
- **Note**: Service workers are **intentionally disabled** in Electron (`src/main.electron.ts`) and web uses VitePWA plugin for minimal implementation.
**Electron**
- We **will use** native OS notifications with **best-effort scheduling while the app is running**; true background scheduling will be addressed in v2 (native bridges).
**Electron delivery strategy (v1 reality + v2 path)**
We **will deliver** desktop notifications while the Electron app is running. True **background scheduling when the app is closed** is **out of scope for v1** and **will be addressed** in v2 via native bridges. We **will adopt** one of the following options (in order of fit to our codebase):
**In-app scheduler + auto-launch (recommended now):** Keep the orchestrator in the main process, **start on login** (tray app, hidden window), and use the **Electron `Notification` API** for delivery. This requires no new OS services and aligns with our PlatformServiceFactory/mixin patterns.
**Policy (v1):** If the app is **not running**, Electron will **not** deliver scheduled locals. With **auto-launch enabled**, we **will achieve** near-mobile parity while respecting OS sleep/idle behavior.
**UX notes:** On Windows we **will set** `appUserModelId` so toasts are attributed correctly; on macOS we **will request** notification permission on first use.
**Prerequisites:** We **will require** Node 18+ (global `fetch`) or we **will polyfill** via `undici` for content fetching in the main process.
---
## 9) Template Engine Contract
**Supported tokens:** `{{headline}}`, `{{summary}}`, `{{date}}` (YYYY-MM-DD), `{{time}}` (HH:MM).
**Escaping:** HTML-escape all injected values.
**Limits:** Title ≤ 50 chars; Body ≤ 200 chars; truncate with ellipsis.
**Fallback:** Missing token → `"[Content]"`.
**Mutation:** We **will** render templates **before** scheduling; no mutation at delivery time on iOS locals.
---
## 10) Integration with Existing TimeSafari Infrastructure
**Database:** We **will integrate** with existing migration system in `src/db-sql/migration.ts` following the established `MIGRATIONS` array pattern
**Settings:** We **will extend** existing Settings type in `src/db/tables/settings.ts` following the established type extension pattern
**Platform Service:** We **will leverage** existing PlatformServiceMixin database utilities following the established mixin pattern
**Service Factory:** We **will follow** the existing `PlatformServiceFactory` singleton pattern for notification service creation
**Capacitor:** We **will integrate** with existing deep link system in `src/main.capacitor.ts` following the established initialization pattern
**Service Worker:** We **will extend** existing service worker infrastructure following the established `sw_scripts/` pattern (Note: Service workers are intentionally disabled in Electron and have minimal web implementation via VitePWA plugin)
**API:** We **will use** existing error handling from `src/services/api.ts` following the established `handleApiError` pattern
**Logging:** We **will use** existing logger from `src/utils/logger` following the established logging patterns
**Platform Detection:** We **will use** existing `process.env.VITE_PLATFORM` patterns (`web`, `capacitor`, `electron`)
**Vue Architecture:** We **will follow** Vue 3 + vue-facing-decorator patterns for component integration (Note: The existing `useNotifications` composable in `src/composables/useNotifications.ts` is currently stub functions with eslint-disable comments and needs implementation)
**State Management:** We **will integrate** with existing settings system via `PlatformServiceMixin.$saveSettings()` for notification preferences (Note: TimeSafari uses PlatformServiceMixin for all state management, not Pinia stores)
**Identity System:** We **will integrate** with existing `did:ethr:` (Ethereum-based DID) system for user context
**Testing:** We **will follow** Playwright E2E testing patterns established in TimeSafari
**Database Architecture:** We **will support** platform-specific database backends:
- **Web**: Absurd SQL (SQLite via IndexedDB) via `WebPlatformService` with worker pattern
- **Capacitor**: Native SQLite via `CapacitorPlatformService`
- **Electron**: Native SQLite via `ElectronPlatformService` (extends CapacitorPlatformService)
---
## 11) Error Taxonomy & Telemetry
**Error Codes:** `FETCH_TIMEOUT`, `ETAG_NOT_MODIFIED`, `SCHEDULE_DENIED`, `EXACT_ALARM_MISSING`, `STORAGE_BUSY`, `TEMPLATE_MISSING_TOKEN`, `PERMISSION_DENIED`.
**Event Envelope:** `code, slotId, whenMs, attempt, networkState, tzOffset, appState, timestamp`.
---
## 12) Permission UX & Channels/Categories
- We **will request** notification permission **after** user intent (e.g., settings screen), not on first render.
- **Android:** We **will create** a stable channel ID (e.g., `timesafari.daily`) and **will set** importance appropriately.
- **iOS:** We **will register** categories for optional actions; grouping may use `threadIdentifier` per slot/day.
---
## 13) Eventing & Telemetry
**Error Codes:** `FETCH_TIMEOUT`, `ETAG_NOT_MODIFIED`, `SCHEDULE_DENIED`, `EXACT_ALARM_MISSING`, `STORAGE_BUSY`, `TEMPLATE_MISSING_TOKEN`, `PERMISSION_DENIED`.
**Event Envelope:** `code, slotId, whenMs, attempt, networkState, tzOffset, appState, timestamp`.
**Implementation:** See Implementation document for complete error taxonomy, event logging envelope, ACK payload format, and telemetry events.
---
## 14) Feature Flags & Config
**Key Flags:** `scheduler`, `mode`, `prefetchLeadMinutes`, `ttlSeconds`, `iosCategoryIdentifier`, `androidChannelId`, `prefetchRunner`, `runnerRearm`.
**Storage:** Feature flags **will reside** in `notif_config` table as key-value pairs, separate from user settings.
**Implementation:** See Implementation document for complete feature flags table with defaults and descriptions.
---
## 15) Acceptance (Definition of Done) → Test Cases
### Explicit Test Checks
- **App killed → locals fire**: Configure slots at 8:00, 12:00, 18:00; kill app; verify notifications fire at each slot on iOS/Android
- **ETag 304 path**: Server returns 304 → keep previous content; locals fire with cached payload
- **ETag 200 path**: Server returns 200 → update content and re-arm locals with fresh payload
- **Offline + beyond TTL**: When offline and content > 24h old → skip notification (no "(cached)" suffix)
- **iOS pending cap**: Respect ~64 pending limit; cancel/re-arm as needed within rolling window
- **Exact-alarm denied**: Android permission absent → windowed schedule (±10m) activates; UI shows fallback hint
- **Permissions disabled** → we will record `SCHEDULE_DENIED` and refrain from queuing locals.
- **Window fallback** → when exact alarm is absent on Android, verify target fires within **±10m** of slot time (document as an E2E expectation).
- **Timezone change**: On TZ/DST change → recompute wall-clock times; cancel & re-arm all slots
- **Lead window respect**: No retries attempted once inside 20min lead window
- **Idempotency**: Multiple `runFullPipelineNow()` calls don't create duplicate scheduled deliveries
- **Cooldown guard**: `deliverStoredNow()` has 60s cooldown to prevent double-firing
### Electron-Specific Test Checks
- **Electron running (tray or window) → notifications fire** at configured slots using Electron `Notification`
- **Electron not running →** no delivery (documented limitation for v1)
- **Start on Login enabled →** after reboot + login, orchestrator **will re-arm** slots and deliver
- **Template limits honored** (Title ≤ 50, Body ≤ 200) on Electron notifications
- **SW scope** not used for Electron (click handlers are **web only**)
- **Windows appUserModelId** set correctly for toast attribution
- **macOS notification permission** requested on first use
### Timing-Verifiable Test Checks
- **iOS/Android (app killed):** locals will fire at their slots; no network activity at delivery time.
- **iOS/Android (resume inside lead):** exactly **one** online-first attempt occurs; if fetch completes within **12s** → content updated; otherwise offline policy applies.
- **Android (no exact access):** observed delivery is within **±10 min** of slot time.
- **Web push:** SW push event fetch runs once with **12s** timeout; if it times out, the push still displays (from payload).
- **Electron (app running):** timer-based locals fire on time; on reboot with **Start on Login**, orchestrator re-arms on first run.
- **TTL behavior:** offline & stale → **skip** (no notification posted).
- **ETag path:** with `304`, last payload remains; no duplicate scheduling rows (unique index enforced).
- **Cooldown:** calling `deliverStoredNow` twice within **60s** for same slot doesn't produce two notifications.
- **Closed app, armed earlier** → locals fire at slot; title/body match last rendered content (proves "render at schedule time" + adapter API).
- **Closed app, timezone change before slot** → on next resume, app recomputes and re-arms; already armed notifications will still fire on original wall-time
- **Mobile closed-app, no background network:** Arm at T–hours; kill app; verify locals fire with last rendered text; confirm **no** network egress at delivery.
- **Web push as network scheduler:** Send push with empty payload → SW fetches within 12s timeout → shows correct text; confirm behavior with browser closed.
- **Electron app not running:** No delivery; with **Start on Login**, after reboot first run fetches and re-arms; subsequent slots fire.
- **Runner fires in background (Android/iOS):** With Runner enabled and app backgrounded for ≥30 min, at least one prefetch **will** occur; content cache **will** update; already-armed locals **will** still fire on time.
- **Runner re-arm (flagged):** If `runnerRearm=true` and Runner fires inside lead with fresh content + within TTL, the system **will** cancel & re-arm the next slot; delivered text **will** match fresh template.
---
## 16) Test Matrix (Essentials)
- **Android:** exact vs inexact branch, Doze/App Standby behavior, reboot/time change, permission denial path, deep‑link to exact‑alarm settings.
- **iOS:** BG fetch budget limits, pending cap windowing, local notification delivery with app terminated, category actions.
- **Web:** SW lifecycle, push delivery with app closed, click handling, no offline scheduling.
- **Cross‑cutting:** ETag/304 behavior, TTL policy, templating correctness, event queue drain, SQLite retention job.
---
## 17) Migration & Rollout Notes
- We **will keep** existing web push flows intact.
- We **will introduce** the orchestrator behind a feature flag, initially with a small number of slots.
- We **will migrate** settings to accept multiple times per day.
- We **will document** platform caveats inside user‑visible settings (e.g., Android exact alarms, iOS cap).
---
## 18) Security & Privacy
- Tokens **will reside** in Keystore/Keychain (mobile) and **will be injected** at request time; they **will not** be stored in SQLite.
- Optionally, SQLCipher at rest for mobile; redaction of PII in logs; payload size caps.
- Content **will be** minimal (title/body); sensitive data **will not be** embedded.
---
## 19) Non‑Goals (Now)
- Complex action sets and rich media on locals (kept minimal).
- Delivery‑time mutation of local notifications on iOS (NSE is for remote).
- Full analytics pipeline (future enhancement).
---
## 20) Cross-Document Synchronization
**Canonical Ownership:**
- **This document (Plan):** Goals, Tenets, Platform behaviors, Acceptance criteria, Test cases
- **Implementation document:** API definitions, Database schemas, Adapter implementations, Code examples
**Synchronization Requirements:**
- API code blocks must be identical between Plan §4 and Implementation §3
- Feature flags must match between Plan §13 and Implementation §15 defaults
- Test cases must align between Plan §14 acceptance criteria and Implementation examples
- Error codes must match between Plan §11 taxonomy and Implementation error handling
- Slot/TTL/Lead policies must be identical between Plan §4 semantics and Implementation §9 logic
---
*This strategic plan focuses on features and future‑tense deliverables, avoids implementation details, and preserves a clear path from the in‑app orchestrator (v1) to native plugin (v2).*

# TimeSafari — Native-First Notification System
**Status:** Ready for implementation
**Date:** 2025-09-07
**Author:** Matthew Raymer
---
## Executive Summary
Ship a **single, Native-First** notification system: OS-scheduled **background prefetch at T–lead** + **pre-armed** local notifications. Web-push is retired.
### What we deliver
- **Closed-app delivery:** Pre-armed locals fire even if the app is closed.
- **Freshness:** One prefetch attempt per slot at **T–lead**; ETag/TTL controls; skip when stale.
- **Android precision:** Exact alarms with permission; windowed fallback (±10m) otherwise.
- **Resilience:** Re-arm after reboot/time-change (Android receivers; iOS on next wake/silent push).
- **Cross-platform:** Same TS API (iOS/Android/Electron). Electron is best-effort while running.
### Success signals
- High delivery reliability, minute-precision on Android with permission.
- Prefetch budget hit rate at **T–lead**; zero stale deliveries beyond TTL.
---
## Strategic Plan
### Goal
Deliver 1..M daily notifications with **OS background prefetch at T–lead** and **rolling-window safety** so messages display with fresh content even when the app is closed.
### Tenets
- **Reliability first:** OS delivers once scheduled; no JS at delivery time.
- **Freshness with guardrails:** Prefetch at **T–lead**; enforce **TTL-at-fire**; ETag-aware.
- **Single system:** One TS API; native adapters swap under the hood.
- **Platform honesty:** Android exactness via permission; iOS best-effort budget.
### Architecture (high level)
App (Vue/TS) → Orchestrator (policy) → Native Adapters:
- **SchedulerNative** — AlarmManager (Android) / UNUserNotificationCenter (iOS)
- **BackgroundPrefetchNative** — WorkManager (Android) / BGTaskScheduler (+ silent push) (iOS)
- **DataStore** — SQLite
### Scheduling & T–lead
- **Arm** a rolling window (today + tomorrow within iOS cap).
- **Attempt** a single **online-first** fetch per slot at **T–lead = T − prefetchLeadMinutes**.
- If prefetch is skipped, the armed local **still fires** using cached content.
### Policies
- **TTL-at-fire:** If (T − fetchedAt) > `ttlSeconds`**skip** arming.
- **Android exactness:** Request `SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM`; fallback **±10m** window.
- **Reboot/time change:** Android receivers re-arm next 24h; iOS on next wake/silent push.
- **No delivery-time mutation:** iOS locals cannot be mutated by NSE; render before scheduling.
---
## Implementation Guide
### 1) Interfaces (TS stable)
- **SchedulerNative**: `scheduleExact({slotId, whenMs, title, body, extra})`, `scheduleWindow(..., windowLenMs)`, `cancelBySlot`, `rescheduleAll`, `capabilities()`
- **BackgroundPrefetchNative**: `schedulePrefetch(slotId, atMs)`, `cancelPrefetch(slotId)`
- **DataStore**: SQLite adapters (notif_contents, notif_deliveries, notif_config)
- **Public API**: `configure`, `requestPermissions`, `runFullPipelineNow`, `reschedule`, `getState`
### 2) Templating & Arming
- Render `title/body` **before** scheduling; pass via **SchedulerNative**.
- Route all arming through **SchedulerNative** to centralize Android exact/window semantics.
### 3) T–lead (single attempt)
- Compute T–lead = `whenMs - prefetchLeadMinutes*60_000`.
- `BackgroundPrefetchNative.schedulePrefetch(slotId, atMs=T–lead)`.
- On wake: **ETag** fetch (timeout **12s**), persist, optionally cancel & re-arm if within TTL.
- Never fetch at delivery time.
### 4) TTL-at-fire
`if (whenMs - fetchedAt) > ttlSeconds*1000 → skip`
### 5) Android specifics
- Request `SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM`; deep-link if denied; fallback to `setWindow(start,len)` (±10m).
- Receivers: `BOOT_COMPLETED`, `TIMEZONE_CHANGED`, `TIME_SET` → recompute & re-arm for next 24h and schedule T–lead prefetch.
### 6) iOS specifics
- `BGTaskScheduler` for T–lead prefetch (best-effort). Optional silent push nudge.
- Locals: `UNCalendarNotificationTrigger` (one-shots); no NSE mutation for locals.
### 7) Network & Timeouts
- Content fetch: **12s** timeout; single attempt at T–lead; ETag/304 respected.
- ACK/Error: **8s** timeout, fire-and-forget.
### 8) Electron
- Notifications while app is running; recommend **Start-on-Login**. No true background scheduling when fully closed.
### 9) Telemetry
- Record `scheduled|shown|error`; ACK deliveries (8s timeout); include slot/times/TZ/app version.
---
## Capability Matrix
| Capability | Android (Native) | iOS (Native) | Electron | Web |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Multi-daily locals (closed app) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ (app running) | — |
| Prefetch at T–lead (app closed) | ✅ WorkManager | ⚠️ BGTask (best-effort) | ✅ (app running) | — |
| Re-arm after reboot/time-change | ✅ Receivers | ⚠️ On next wake/silent push | ✅ Start-on-Login | — |
| Minute-precision alarms | ✅ with exact permission | ❌ not guaranteed | ✅ timer best-effort | — |
| Delivery-time mutation for locals | ❌ | ❌ | — | — |
| ETag/TTL enforcement | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | — |
| Rolling-window safety | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | — |
---
## Acceptance Criteria
### Core
- **Closed-app delivery:** Armed locals fire at T with last rendered content. No delivery-time network.
- **T–lead prefetch:** Single background attempt at **T–lead**; if skipped, delivery still occurs from cache.
- **TTL-at-fire:** No armed local violates TTL at T.
### Android
- **Exact permission path:** With `SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM` → within ±1m; else **±10m** window.
- **Reboot recovery:** After reboot, receivers re-arm next 24h and schedule T–lead prefetch.
- **TZ/DST change:** Recompute & re-arm; future slots align to new wall-clock.
### iOS
- **BGTask budget respected:** Prefetch often runs but may be skipped; delivery still occurs via rolling window.
- **Force-quit caveat:** No background execution after user terminate; delivery still occurs if pre-armed.
### Electron
- **Running-app rule:** Delivery only while app runs; with Start-on-Login, after reboot the orchestrator re-arms and subsequent slots deliver.
### Network
- Content fetch timeout **12s**; ACK/Error **8s**; no retries inside lead; ETag honored.
### Observability
- Log/telemetry for `scheduled|shown|error`; ACK payload includes slot, times, device TZ, app version.

## Detailed Cleanup Tasks
### 1. Service Worker Cleanup
#### Files to Deprecate
**`sw_scripts/notification-click.js`**
```javascript
// DEPRECATED: Service worker notification handling
// This code is kept for reference but not used in production
// Replaced by Native-First notification system
// Original web-push notification click handler
self.addEventListener('notificationclick', (event) => {
// DEPRECATED: Web-push only
event.notification.close();
const slotId = event.notification.data?.slotId;
const route = slotId ? '/#/daily' : '/#/notifications';
event.waitUntil(
clients.openWindow(route).catch(() => {
return clients.openWindow('/');
})
);
});
```
**Service Worker Registration**
```javascript
// DEPRECATED: Service worker registration
// This code is kept for reference but not used in production
// Replaced by Native-First notification system
if ('serviceWorker' in navigator && process.env.VITE_PLATFORM === 'web') {
// DEPRECATED: Web-push only
navigator.serviceWorker.register('/sw.js')
.then(registration => {
console.log('Service Worker registered:', registration);
})
.catch(error => {
console.error('Service Worker registration failed:', error);
});
}
```
### 2. Web Push API Cleanup
#### Push Subscription Management
```javascript
// DEPRECATED: Web push subscription management
// This code is kept for reference but not used in production
// Replaced by Native-First notification system
class WebPushManager {
// DEPRECATED: Web-push only
async subscribeToPush() {
// Implementation kept for reference
}
// DEPRECATED: Web-push only
async unsubscribeFromPush() {
// Implementation kept for reference
}
}
```
#### Push Message Handling
```javascript
// DEPRECATED: Push message handling
// This code is kept for reference but not used in production
// Replaced by Native-First notification system
self.addEventListener('push', (event) => {
// DEPRECATED: Web-push only
const data = event.data ? event.data.json() : {};
const options = {
body: data.body,
icon: '/icon-192x192.png',
badge: '/badge-72x72.png',
data: data
};
event.waitUntil(
self.registration.showNotification(data.title, options)
);
});
```
### 3. Configuration Cleanup
#### VitePWA Plugin Configuration
```javascript
// DEPRECATED: VitePWA plugin configuration
// This configuration is kept for reference but not used in production
// Replaced by Native-First notification system
import { VitePWA } from 'vite-plugin-pwa'
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
VitePWA({
// DEPRECATED: Web-push only
registerType: 'autoUpdate',
workbox: {
globPatterns: ['**/*.{js,css,html,ico,png,svg}']
},
includeAssets: ['favicon.ico', 'apple-touch-icon.png', 'masked-icon.svg'],
manifest: {
name: 'TimeSafari',
short_name: 'TimeSafari',
description: 'TimeSafari App',
theme_color: '#ffffff',
icons: [
{
src: 'pwa-192x192.png',
sizes: '192x192',
type: 'image/png'
}
]
}
})
]
})
```
#### Service Worker Build Configuration
```javascript
// DEPRECATED: Service worker build configuration
// This configuration is kept for reference but not used in production
// Replaced by Native-First notification system
export default defineConfig({
build: {
rollupOptions: {
input: {
// DEPRECATED: Web-push only
sw: 'sw_scripts/notification-click.js'
}
}
}
})
```
### 4. Test Cleanup
#### Web Push Tests
```javascript
// DEPRECATED: Web push tests
// These tests are kept for reference but not used in production
// Replaced by Native-First notification system
describe('Web Push Notifications (DEPRECATED)', () => {
// DEPRECATED: Web-push only
it('should handle push notifications', async () => {
// Test implementation kept for reference
});
// DEPRECATED: Web-push only
it('should handle notification clicks', async () => {
// Test implementation kept for reference
});
});
```
#### Service Worker Tests
```javascript
// DEPRECATED: Service worker tests
// These tests are kept for reference but not used in production
// Replaced by Native-First notification system
describe('Service Worker (DEPRECATED)', () => {
// DEPRECATED: Web-push only
it('should register service worker', async () => {
// Test implementation kept for reference
});
// DEPRECATED: Web-push only
it('should handle push events', async () => {
// Test implementation kept for reference
});
});
```
### 5. Documentation Cleanup
