Major Dashboard Nav Restructure: Fixed Tests, Reorganized Boards, and Cleaned House

Had one of those satisfying dev sessions where everything just clicks into place. Spent the day restructuring the honeybun dashboard navigation and fixing some stubborn Playwright test failures.

The Great Test Debugging Hunt

Started with 7 failing Playwright tests that had been bugging me. Turns out the root cause was a seemingly innocent change I made on March 20th - setting STATE.boardPipeline: 'sales' as the default. This was causing tests to land on the Sales board instead of Provisioning, breaking all the assertions.

But that wasn't the only issue. The tests were also failing because of collapsed <details> sections hiding buttons from toBeVisible() checks, even though the elements existed in the DOM. Classic case of "works in the browser but fails in tests."

The fixes were pretty straightforward once I identified the issues:

• Changed gotoWithClients from domcontentloaded to networkidle so clients actually load before the pipeline switch
• Added explicit clicks on the "Manage" and "Google Services" sections before trying to interact with their buttons
• Fixed a test that was expecting a confirm() dialog that never actually shows up in the real code

Result: 11/11 tests passing, 220 total passing tests, zero regressions. Chef's kiss.

Navigation Restructure

The bigger change was reorganizing how the dashboard navigation works. The old structure was confusing users, so I split things up more logically:

Sales Board is now its own standalone item in the Clients section. Admin/owner only, routes directly to the GHL contacts Kanban view. No more nested tabs to dig through.

Board got simplified - removed all the tabs and now always shows the Provisioning Kanban. Clean and focused.

Pipeline became Deck Intel (kept the view ID as 'pipeline' for localStorage backward compatibility though - learned that lesson the hard way before).

Grid stayed unchanged because it serves a different purpose than Board. Grid is for dense, urgency-sorted scanning while Board is for the drag-and-drop workflow management.

The Cleanup Surprise

Started the session planning to do a structural optimization audit and discovered that all 8 tasks on my board were already complete - I just hadn't updated the task tracking. Sometimes the best work is the work you don't have to do.

Files like renderWorkflows had already been removed from workflows.js, the analytics functions were already living in the right place, and all the file splits I thought I needed to do were already sitting there on disk.

What's Next

Both commits are live at app.gethoneybun.com. The user feedback has been positive so far - the navigation feels much more intuitive now.

Next session I need to close out the nav-restructure task on the live board and tackle the bigger challenge: building the prospect-to-client handoff event system that traces records from deck view through GHL stages to provisioning start. That one's going to require some backend worker changes, so it's a good chunk of work.

But for now, feeling good about a solid day of cleaning house and making the dashboard more user-friendly.
