+# Build Process Quick Reference
+
+**Author**: Matthew Raymer  
+**Date**: October 17, 2025
+
+## 🚨 Critical Build Steps
+
+```bash
+# 1. Build web assets
+npm run build
+
+# 2. Sync with native projects  
+npx cap sync android
+
+# 3. 🔧 FIX PLUGIN REGISTRY (REQUIRED!)
+node scripts/fix-capacitor-plugins.js
+
+# 4. Build and deploy Android
+cd android
+./gradlew :app:assembleDebug
+adb install -r app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
+adb shell am start -n com.timesafari.dailynotification.test/.MainActivity
+```
+
+## ⚠️ Why Step 3 is Critical
+
+**Problem**: `npx cap sync` overwrites `capacitor.plugins.json` and removes custom plugins.
+
+**Solution**: The fix script restores the DailyNotification plugin entry.
+
+**Without Step 3**: Plugin detection fails, "simplified dialog" appears.
+
+## 🔍 Verification Checklist
+
+After build, verify:
+
+- [ ] `capacitor.plugins.json` contains DailyNotification entry
+- [ ] System Status shows "Plugin: Available" (green)  
+- [ ] Plugin Diagnostics shows all 4 plugins
+- [ ] Click events work on ActionCard components
+- [ ] No "simplified dialog" appears
+
+## 🛠️ Automated Build Script
+
+Create `scripts/build-and-deploy.sh`:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+set -e
+
+echo "🔨 Building web assets..."
+npm run build
+
+echo "🔄 Syncing with native projects..."
+npx cap sync android
+
+echo "🔧 Fixing plugin registry..."
+node scripts/fix-capacitor-plugins.js
+
+echo "🏗️ Building Android app..."
+cd android
+./gradlew :app:assembleDebug
+
+echo "📱 Installing and launching..."
+adb install -r app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
+adb shell am start -n com.timesafari.dailynotification.test/.MainActivity
+
+echo "✅ Build and deploy complete!"
+```
+
+## 🐛 Common Issues
+
+| Issue | Symptom | Solution |
+|-------|---------|----------|
+| Empty plugin registry | `capacitor.plugins.json` is `[]` | Run `node scripts/fix-capacitor-plugins.js` |
+| Plugin not detected | "Plugin: Not Available" (red) | Check plugin registry, rebuild |
+| Click events not working | Buttons don't respond | Check Vue 3 compatibility, router config |
+| Inconsistent status | Different status in different cards | Use consistent detection logic |
+
+## 📱 Testing Commands
+
+```bash
+# Check plugin registry
+cat android/app/src/main/assets/capacitor.plugins.json
+
+# Monitor native logs
+adb logcat | grep -i "dailynotification\|capacitor\|plugin"
+
+# Check app installation
+adb shell pm list packages | grep dailynotification
+```
+
+---
+
+**Remember**: Always run the fix script after `npx cap sync`!

+# DailyNotification Plugin Detection Guide
+
+**Author**: Matthew Raymer  
+**Date**: October 17, 2025  
+**Version**: 1.0.0
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide documents the plugin detection system for the DailyNotification Capacitor plugin, including troubleshooting steps and build process requirements.
+
+## Table of Contents
+
+1. [Plugin Detection Architecture](#plugin-detection-architecture)
+2. [Build Process Requirements](#build-process-requirements)
+3. [Troubleshooting Guide](#troubleshooting-guide)
+4. [Development Workflow](#development-workflow)
+5. [Common Issues and Solutions](#common-issues-and-solutions)
+
+## Plugin Detection Architecture
+
+### Native Side (Android)
+
+The DailyNotification plugin is registered on the native Android side through:
+
+1. **Automatic Discovery**: Using Capacitor's annotation processor
+2. **Manual Registration**: Fallback in `MainActivity.onCreate()`
+3. **Plugin Class**: `com.timesafari.dailynotification.DailyNotificationPlugin`
+
+### JavaScript Side (WebView)
+
+The JavaScript layer detects plugins through:
+
+1. **`capacitor.plugins.json`**: Bridge file that lists available plugins
+2. **Capacitor.Plugins Object**: Runtime plugin registry
+3. **Plugin Detection Logic**: Checks both sources for availability
+
+### Key Files
+
+```
+android/
+├── app/src/main/assets/capacitor.plugins.json  # Plugin registry
+├── app/src/main/java/.../MainActivity.java     # Plugin registration
+└── dailynotification/build.gradle              # Annotation processor
+
+src/
+├── views/HomeView.vue                          # Plugin detection UI
+└── components/cards/ActionCard.vue             # Interactive components
+```
+
+## Build Process Requirements
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+1. **Annotation Processor**: Must be configured in both app and plugin modules
+2. **Post-Sync Script**: Required to maintain `capacitor.plugins.json`
+3. **Proper Dependencies**: Capacitor Android and plugin modules
+
+### Required Build Steps
+
+```bash
+# 1. Build web assets
+npm run build
+
+# 2. Sync with native projects
+npx cap sync android
+
+# 3. Fix plugin registry (CRITICAL)
+node scripts/fix-capacitor-plugins.js
+
+# 4. Build and deploy Android app
+cd android
+./gradlew :app:assembleDebug
+adb install -r app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
+adb shell am start -n com.timesafari.dailynotification.test/.MainActivity
+```
+
+### Why the Fix Script is Required
+
+**Problem**: `npx cap sync android` overwrites `capacitor.plugins.json` and doesn't include custom plugins.
+
+**Solution**: Post-sync script automatically restores the DailyNotification plugin entry.
+
+**File**: `scripts/fix-capacitor-plugins.js`
+
+```javascript
+const PLUGIN_ENTRY = {
+  name: "DailyNotification",
+  classpath: "com.timesafari.dailynotification.DailyNotificationPlugin"
+};
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting Guide
+
+### Issue: "Plugin: Not Available" in System Status
+
+**Symptoms**:
+- System Status card shows red "Not Available" indicator
+- Plugin Diagnostics shows "Plugin Available: No"
+
+**Diagnosis Steps**:
+1. Check `capacitor.plugins.json` content
+2. Verify native plugin registration logs
+3. Test JavaScript detection logic
+
+**Solutions**:
+```bash
+# Check plugin registry
+cat android/app/src/main/assets/capacitor.plugins.json
+
+# Should contain:
+[
+  {
+    "name": "DailyNotification",
+    "classpath": "com.timesafari.dailynotification.DailyNotificationPlugin"
+  }
+]
+
+# If empty or missing, run fix script
+node scripts/fix-capacitor-plugins.js
+```
+
+### Issue: Click Events Not Working
+
+**Symptoms**:
+- ActionCard buttons don't respond to clicks
+- No console logs from click handlers
+
+**Common Causes**:
+1. **Wrong View Component**: Router pointing to simplified view
+2. **Vue 3 Compatibility**: Using deprecated `@click.native`
+3. **Component Registration**: Missing component imports
+
+**Solutions**:
+```vue
+<!-- ❌ Wrong: Vue 3 doesn't support .native -->
+<ActionCard @click.native="handler" />
+
+<!-- ✅ Correct: Standard event binding -->
+<ActionCard @click="handler" />
+```
+
+### Issue: Empty capacitor.plugins.json After Build
+
+**Symptoms**:
+- File contains only `[]`
+- Plugin detection fails
+- "Simplified dialog" appears
+
+**Root Cause**: `npx cap sync` overwrites the file
+
+**Solution**: Always run fix script after sync
+```bash
+npx cap sync android && node scripts/fix-capacitor-plugins.js
+```
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### Daily Development Cycle
+
+1. **Make Changes**: Edit Vue components, native code, or plugin logic
+2. **Build Web**: `npm run build`
+3. **Sync Native**: `npx cap sync android`
+4. **Fix Plugins**: `node scripts/fix-capacitor-plugins.js`
+5. **Build Android**: `cd android && ./gradlew :app:assembleDebug`
+6. **Deploy**: `adb install -r app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk`
+7. **Test**: Launch app and verify plugin detection
+
+### Automated Build Script
+
+Create `scripts/build-and-deploy.sh`:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+set -e
+
+echo "🔨 Building web assets..."
+npm run build
+
+echo "🔄 Syncing with native projects..."
+npx cap sync android
+
+echo "🔧 Fixing plugin registry..."
+node scripts/fix-capacitor-plugins.js
+
+echo "🏗️ Building Android app..."
+cd android
+./gradlew :app:assembleDebug
+
+echo "📱 Installing and launching..."
+adb install -r app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
+adb shell am start -n com.timesafari.dailynotification.test/.MainActivity
+
+echo "✅ Build and deploy complete!"
+```
+
+### Verification Checklist
+
+After each build, verify:
+
+- [ ] `capacitor.plugins.json` contains DailyNotification entry
+- [ ] System Status shows "Plugin: Available" (green)
+- [ ] Plugin Diagnostics shows all 4 plugins
+- [ ] Click events work on ActionCard components
+- [ ] No "simplified dialog" appears
+- [ ] Console logs show plugin detection success
+
+## Common Issues and Solutions
+
+### Issue: Annotation Processor Not Working
+
+**Symptoms**: Plugin not auto-discovered, manual registration required
+
+**Solution**: Ensure annotation processor is configured in both modules
+
+```gradle
+// app/build.gradle
+dependencies {
+    annotationProcessor project(':capacitor-android')
+}
+
+// dailynotification/build.gradle  
+dependencies {
+    annotationProcessor project(':capacitor-android')
+}
+```
+
+### Issue: Plugin Loads But Methods Fail
+
+**Symptoms**: Plugin detected but `checkStatus()` throws errors
+
+**Diagnosis**: Check native plugin implementation and permissions
+
+**Solution**: Verify plugin class methods and Android permissions
+
+### Issue: Inconsistent Status Between Cards
+
+**Symptoms**: System Status shows "Not Available" but Plugin Diagnostics shows "Available"
+
+**Root Cause**: Different detection logic between functions
+
+**Solution**: Use consistent detection method (see `checkSystemStatus` in HomeView.vue)
+
+### Issue: Build Failures After Changes
+
+**Symptoms**: Gradle build errors, TypeScript compilation failures
+
+**Common Causes**:
+1. Missing imports after refactoring
+2. TypeScript errors in Vue components
+3. Gradle dependency conflicts
+
+**Solution**: Check build logs and fix compilation errors
+
+## Debugging Tools
+
+### Console Logging
+
+The app includes comprehensive logging for plugin detection:
+
+```javascript
+// Plugin detection logs
+console.log('🔍 Plugin detection debug:')
+console.log('  - window.DailyNotification:', (window as any).DailyNotification)
+console.log('  - Capacitor.Plugins:', (window as any).Capacitor?.Plugins)
+console.log('  - Available plugins:', Object.keys((window as any).Capacitor?.Plugins || {}))
+```
+
+### ADB Logging
+
+Monitor native Android logs:
+
+```bash
+adb logcat | grep -i "dailynotification\|capacitor\|plugin\|error"
+```
+
+### Plugin Diagnostics
+
+Use the built-in Plugin Diagnostics feature to get comprehensive system information:
+
+1. Click "Plugin Diagnostics" button
+2. Review detailed plugin report
+3. Check all available plugins list
+4. Verify plugin status and capabilities
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Development
+
+1. **Always run fix script** after `npx cap sync`
+2. **Test plugin detection** after each build
+3. **Use consistent detection logic** across components
+4. **Monitor console logs** for debugging information
+5. **Verify both native and JavaScript sides** work correctly
+
+### Maintenance
+
+1. **Keep fix script updated** if plugin classpath changes
+2. **Document any new plugin dependencies**
+3. **Update this guide** when architecture changes
+4. **Test on multiple devices** and Android versions
+5. **Monitor Capacitor updates** for breaking changes
