Traceability

  • [x] story:ui-ux label -- UI/UX design story
  • [x] story note verified -- ui-ux row found in project-iss user-stories table (Key=ui-ux, Backing=docs/ui-ux.md, Role=All roles, Success metric=Design doc + tab architecture established as single source of truth)
  • [x] arch:docs label -- category label, no backing architecture note required (consistent with 7+ board items: #1780, #1800, #1803, #1804, #1805, #1806, #1807)
  • [x] Forgejo issue -- https://forgejo.tail5b443a.ts.net/ldraney/intelligentstaffingsystems/issues/48, open

File Targets

  • [x] docs/ui-ux.md -- verified: does not exist yet (to be created). docs/ directory confirmed present with 10 existing files.
  • [x] docs/user-stories.md -- verified: exists (16k). Current Role-Tab Access Matrix (lines 237-242) shows old tab structure: Catalog, Messages, Profile, Admin. Ticket correctly identifies this for update.

Repo Placement

OK. Issue filed on ldraney/intelligentstaffingsystems, all file targets are in the same repo. Single repo, no cross-repo concerns.

Dependencies

This ticket establishes the UX spec that other Sprint A tickets depend on:
  • #1829 (issue #49, story:navigation, sprint:A) -- needs tab architecture from this doc
  • #1830 (issue #58, story:landing-page, sprint:A) -- landing page redesign references design philosophy
  • #1831 (issue #59, story:registration, sprint:A) -- registration flow needs new UX context
Dependencies are not explicitly documented in the issue body. This ticket should be completed before the other sprint A tickets begin, or at minimum in parallel with clear references.

Acceptance Criteria

6 AC, all verifiable via file existence and content grep:
  • AC1: file existence + section presence check
  • AC2: diff review of user-stories.md Role-Tab matrix
  • AC3: grep for new role-tab matrix content
  • AC4: grep for DM-on-promotion gating
  • AC5: grep for target audience descriptions
  • AC6: grep for admin vs lead/client Communications view differences
No test commands needed (docs-only). Criteria are specific and machine-verifiable.

Blast Radius

The old tab structure (Catalog, Messages, Profile, Admin) is referenced across 5 docs files:
  • docs/user-stories.md (lines 10, 24, 138, 237-242) -- IN SCOPE of this ticket
  • docs/security.md (lines 64, 76) -- out of scope (intentional)
  • docs/keycloak-setup.md (line 32) -- out of scope
  • docs/architecture.md (line 173) -- out of scope (explicitly excluded)
  • docs/testing-strategy.md (line 176) -- out of scope
The issue explicitly states that architecture.md and security.md changes belong to individual feature tickets. This is a valid scoping decision, but will leave temporary inconsistency across docs until those feature tickets land. Acceptable.

Decomposition Assessment

2 file targets in 1 repo. 6 acceptance criteria (borderline on the >5 threshold, but all are tightly coupled doc sections in the same 2 files). Estimated agent work: ~3-4 minutes. No decomposition needed.

Recommendation

No action needed.

Resolution Notes

  • [RESOLVED] story:ui-ux label registered. Added ui-ux row to project-iss user-stories table: Key=ui-ux, Backing=docs/ui-ux.md, Role=All roles, Success metric=Design doc + tab architecture established as single source of truth.
  • [RESOLVED] arch:docs is a category label and does not require a backing architecture note -- consistent with existing usage across 7+ board items (#1780, #1800, #1803, #1804, #1805, #1806, #1807).
