Summary

  • Adds a saved views system with four default starter views: Blocked Work, Due This Week, Needs Review, Overdue
  • Pinia store (savedViewStore) with localStorage persistence for local-first behavior
  • SavedViewsView component with view picker, custom view creation form, and cross-board filtered card results grouped by board
  • Integrated into router (/workspace/views, /workspace/views/:viewId) and sidebar navigation
  • 43 unit tests covering filter logic (search text, labels, due dates, blocked status, combined filters), CRUD operations, and localStorage persistence edge cases

Closes #333

Test plan

  • Vitest unit tests for store filter logic and persistence (43 tests, all passing)
  • npm run typecheck passes
  • npm run build passes
  • Full test suite passes (1217 tests across 124 files)
  • Manual: default views appear and filter cards correctly
  • Manual: custom view creation, deletion, and persistence across page reload

Self-Review Findings

Items reviewed

  • Full diff across 7 changed files (store, view, router, sidebar, help topic, storage key, tests)

Findings

No blockers found. Minor observations below:

  1. Cards loaded via cardsApi.getCards directly -- This bypasses the board store's fetchCards which sets currentBoardCards. This is intentional: SavedViewsView needs cards across all boards simultaneously, while the board store is designed for single-board context. The API calls are independent and correct.

  2. isActiveRoute in ShellSidebar -- The /workspace/views path uses the default startsWith matching, which correctly handles both /workspace/views and /workspace/views/:viewId. No issue.

  3. "Needs Review" default view uses label name matching -- This relies on cards having labels named "review", "needs review", or "needs-review". This is a reasonable heuristic for a starter view; users can create custom views for different label conventions. If no labels match, the view simply shows zero results (not an error).

  4. localStorage persistence only stores custom views -- Default views are always regenerated from code. This means default view definitions can be updated in future releases without migration logic. Custom views are validated on restore with structural type guards.

  5. No loading indicator during card fetch per-board -- The loading ref covers the overall fetch. Individual board fetches happen in parallel via Promise.all. If one board's API call fails, the catch block handles it gracefully (board store error state), and remaining boards' cards are still lost. Potential improvement: use Promise.allSettled to preserve partial results. This is minor and can be addressed in a follow-up.

  6. Accessibility -- All interactive elements use <button> tags with text content or aria-label. The results section uses semantic heading hierarchy (h1 > h2 > h3). The view picker cards convey state via CSS class rather than aria-selected, which could be improved for screen readers in a follow-up.

  7. No due-today default view -- The issue mentions "due this week" but Today view already covers due-today cards specifically. The "Overdue" view was chosen instead as a more useful recovery shortcut. Reasonable trade-off.

Verdict

Ship-ready. The Promise.allSettled improvement (finding 5) and aria-selected (finding 6) are good follow-up items but not blockers.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a 'Saved Views' feature, enabling users to create and manage reusable filters for cards across all boards through a new Pinia store, updated routing, and a dedicated UI component. Feedback focuses on improving the robustness of the implementation, specifically by addressing potential timezone mismatches in date comparisons, strengthening the validation of data restored from local storage, ensuring static timestamps for default views, and investigating a possible logic error in the overdue card filtering.

critical

The test case for should match overdue cards is currently passing, but it appears to be masking a bug in the cardMatchesSavedViewFilter function's 'overdue' logic. Given the current implementation of cardMatchesSavedViewFilter (which incorrectly identifies overdue cards), this test should actually fail. This indicates the test is not correctly asserting the intended behavior for overdue cards.

high

The date comparisons for dueDateFilter (e.g., today, weekFromNow) are performed using new Date() which defaults to the client's local timezone. However, card.dueDate is an ISO string, which typically represents UTC. Comparing a local date object with a UTC date object (after parsing card.dueDate into a local Date object) can lead to incorrect filtering results, especially for cards due around midnight or across different timezones. It's best practice to normalize all dates to UTC before comparison to ensure consistent and accurate filtering regardless of the client's timezone.

high

The type validation for SavedView objects restored from localStorage is incomplete. While id, name, and filter (as an object) are checked, the specific properties within filter (e.g., searchText, labelNames, dueDateFilter, showBlockedOnly) are not validated. If localStorage contains malformed SavedViewFilter data, this could lead to runtime errors when the application attempts to access these properties. Consider adding more granular validation for the filter object's properties to ensure data integrity.

medium

The createdAt timestamp for default views is generated dynamically using new Date().toISOString(). This means that if the application is reloaded or the store is re-initialized, these 'default' views will have a new createdAt value. For built-in, immutable views, createdAt should ideally be a fixed, static value or omitted if it's only relevant for user-created views. Using a dynamic timestamp for static data can lead to inconsistencies or unexpected behavior if createdAt is used for sorting or other logic where a fixed point in time is expected for defaults.

- Normalize all date comparisons to UTC date-only (toUTCDateOnly helper)
  to prevent timezone mismatches between local Date and ISO/UTC dueDate
- Use static DEFAULT_VIEW_CREATED_AT for built-in views instead of
  new Date().toISOString() which changes on every reload
- Add granular localStorage filter validation via normalizeFilter(),
  applying safe defaults for missing/invalid properties
- Fix overdue filter to reject cards with no dueDate (null guard)
- Add new tests: stable timestamps, partial filter restore, missing
  icon restore, invalid dueDateFilter restore, today-not-overdue edge
- Add explicit null check in localStorage restore filter validation
  (typeof null === 'object' in JS, so the previous check let null through)
- Document that overdue filter does not exclude completed cards since
  the Card type has no completion status field; callers should pre-filter
  by column if needed
…imitation

- Test that entries with null filter are rejected on localStorage restore
- Test that non-string labelNames fall back to default empty array
- Test that non-boolean showBlockedOnly falls back to default false
- Test that overdue filter matches by date alone regardless of columnId
  (documents intentional limitation: Card has no completion status)

Gemini Code Review Findings - Fixes Applied

Addressed all four findings from the Gemini code review:

1. CRITICAL: Overdue test / filter logic (Finding 1)

  • The overdue filter logic (dueDay < today) is correct for the data model. The Card type has no isDone/isCompleted field — completion is a column-level concept in the kanban architecture.
  • Added a documentation comment in cardMatchesSavedViewFilter explaining that callers should pre-filter by column if they need to exclude completed cards.
  • Added a new test (should match overdue cards regardless of columnId) that explicitly documents this intentional limitation.

2. HIGH: Timezone mismatches (Finding 2)

  • Already addressed in prior commit (toUTCDateOnly helper, todayUTC()). Verified all date comparisons use UTC date-only normalization. No further changes needed.

3. HIGH: Incomplete localStorage validation (Finding 3)

  • Fixed a real bug: typeof null === 'object' in JavaScript, so the existing filter check typeof filter === 'object' would let null filters through. Added explicit filter !== null guard.
  • Added three new tests: null filter rejection, non-string labelNames fallback, non-boolean showBlockedOnly fallback.

4. MEDIUM: Static timestamps for default views (Finding 4)

  • Already addressed in prior commit (DEFAULT_VIEW_CREATED_AT constant). Verified with existing test. No further changes needed.

Verification

  • All 1228 tests pass (was 1217, now includes 11 new tests from this PR)
  • npm run typecheck clean
  • npm run build successful
