Create FRONTEND_DESIGN_RULES.md as the single source of truth for all dashboard
UI conventions, including component library (Syncfusion first), component defaults
table, layout structure, buttons, dialogs, badges, toasts, form fields, tabs,
statistics cards, warnings, color palette, CSS files, loading states, locale
rules, and icon conventions (TentTree for skip-holidays events).
Move embedded design rules from ACADEMIC_PERIODS_CRUD_BUILD_PLAN.md to the new
file and replace with a reference link for maintainability.
Update copilot-instructions.md to point to FRONTEND_DESIGN_RULES.md and remove
redundant Syncfusion/Tailwind prose from the Theming section.
Add reference blockquote to README.md under Frontend Features directing readers
to FRONTEND_DESIGN_RULES.md.
Bug fix: Presentation events now reliably persist page_progress and auto_progress
flags across create, update, and detached occurrence flows so display settings
survive round-trips to the API.
Files changed:
- Created: FRONTEND_DESIGN_RULES.md (15 sections, 340+ lines)
- Modified: ACADEMIC_PERIODS_CRUD_BUILD_PLAN.md (extract rules, consolidate)
- Modified: .github/copilot-instructions.md (link to new rules file)
- Modified: README.md (reference blockquote)
Add Settings → Events (Presentations) defaults (interval, page-progress,
auto-progress) persisted via /api/system-settings
Seed defaults in init_defaults.py (10/true/true)
Add Event.page_progress and Event.auto_progress (Alembic applied)
CustomEventModal applies defaults on create and saves fields
Scheduler publishes only currently active events per group, clears retained
topics when none, normalizes times to UTC; include flags in payloads
Docs: update README, copilot instructions, and DEV-CHANGELOG
If you can split the commit, even better
feat(dashboard): add presentation defaults UI
feat(api): seed presentation defaults in init_defaults.py
feat(model): add Event.page_progress and Event.auto_progress
feat(scheduler): publish only active events; clear retained topics; UTC
docs: update README and copilot-instructions
chore: update DEV-CHANGELOG
- Add detach functionality for individual occurrences of recurring events
- Create POST /api/events/<id>/occurrences/<date>/detach endpoint
- Implement EventException-based EXDATE generation for master events
- Add user confirmation dialog for single vs series editing choice
- Implement manual recurrence expansion with DST timezone tolerance
- Support FREQ=DAILY and FREQ=WEEKLY with BYDAY patterns and UNTIL dates
- Create standalone events from detached occurrences without affecting master series
- Add GET /api/events/<id> endpoint for fetching master event data
- Allow editing recurring series even when master event date is in the past
- Replace browser confirm dialogs with Syncfusion dialog components
- Remove debug logging while preserving error handling
- Update documentation for recurring event functionality
BREAKING: Frontend now manually expands recurring events instead of relying on Syncfusion's EXDATE handling
This enables users to edit individual occurrences of recurring events (creating standalone events)
or edit the entire series (updating all future occurrences) through an intuitive UI workflow.
The system properly handles timezone transitions, holiday exclusions, and complex recurrence patterns.
Backend: generate EventException on create/update when skip_holidays or recurrence changes; emit RecurrenceException (EXDATE) with exact occurrence start time (UTC)
API: return master events with RecurrenceRule + RecurrenceException
Frontend: map RecurrenceException → recurrenceException; ensure SkipHolidays instances never render on holidays; place TentTree icon (black) next to main event icon via template
Docs: update README and Copilot instructions for recurrence/holiday behavior
Cleanup: remove dataSource and debug console logs
