# Story 1.2: Chat Interface Implementation

Status: done

<!-- Note: Validation is optional. Run validate-create-story for quality check before dev-story. -->

## Story

As a user,
I want a clean, familiar chat interface,
so that I can focus on venting without fighting the UI.

## Acceptance Criteria

1. **Visual Design - Morning Mist Theme**
   - Given a user is on the main chat screen
   - When they look at the UI
   - Then they see a "Morning Mist" themed interface with distinct bubbles for User (Right) and AI (Left)
   - And the design matches the "Telegram-style" visual specification
   - And the interface uses Inter font for UI elements
   - And the background follows the "Morning Mist" color palette (Cool Grey #F8FAFC)

2. **Message Sending & Display**
   - Given the user is typing
   - When they press "Send"
   - Then the input field clears and the message appears in the chat
   - And the view scrolls to the bottom automatically
   - And the message is stored via ChatService (following Logic Sandwich pattern)

3. **Mobile Responsiveness**
   - Given the user is on a mobile device
   - When they view the chat
   - Then the layout is responsive and all touch targets are at least 44px
   - And the text size is legible (Inter font)
   - And the chat interface fits the 375px+ minimum width

4. **AI Typing Indicator**
   - Given the AI is processing
   - When the user waits
   - Then a "Teacher is typing..." indicator is visible
   - And the UI remains responsive
   - And the indicator disappears when the response arrives

## Dev Notes

### Architecture Compliance (CRITICAL)

**Logic Sandwich Pattern - DO NOT VIOLATE:**
- **UI Components** (`src/components/features/chat/*`) MUST NOT import `src/lib/db` directly
- All data access MUST go through `ChatService` (`src/services/chat-service.ts`)
- Components use Zustand store via atomic selectors only
- Services return plain objects, not Dexie observables

**State Management - Atomic Selectors Required:**
```typescript
// BAD - Causes unnecessary re-renders
const { messages, isTyping } = useChatStore();

// GOOD - Atomic selectors
const messages = useChatStore(s => s.messages);
const isTyping = useChatStore(s => s.isTyping);
```

### Project Structure Notes

**Component Locations:**
- `src/components/features/chat/` - All chat-related feature components
- `src/components/ui/` - ShadCN primitive components (Button, Input, etc.)
- `src/services/` - Business logic layer (ChatService already exists)
- `src/lib/store/` - Zustand stores (chat-store.ts already exists)

**Existing Patterns to Follow:**
- Story 1.1 established the `ChatService` pattern at `src/services/chat-service.ts`
- Use the existing `saveMessage` method when sending messages
- The store is at `src/lib/store/chat-store.ts` with messages array

### Visual Design Specifications

**Morning Mist Color Palette (from UX spec):**
- Primary Action: Slate Blue (`#64748B`) - User bubbles
- Background: Off-White / Cool Grey (`#F8FAFC`) - App background
- Surface: White (`#FFFFFF`) - AI bubbles, cards
- Text: Deep Slate (`#334155`) - Primary text
- Accents: Soft Blue (`#E2E8F0`) - Borders, dividers

**Typography:**
- UI Font: Inter (configured in layout.tsx)
- Use ShadCN's default font configuration
- Ensure line-height is comfortable for chat (1.5-1.6)

**ChatBubble Specifications:**
- User: `bg-slate-700`, text white, right-aligned (`ml-auto`)
- AI: `bg-slate-100`, text slate-800, left-aligned
- System: Centered, small text, muted color
- All bubbles: Rounded corners, padding 12-16px

**Responsive Behavior:**
- Mobile (<768px): Full width, bottom nav
- Desktop (>=768px): Centered container, max-width 600px

### Testing Requirements

**Unit Tests (Vitest + React Testing Library):**
- ChatBubble renders correctly for each variant (7 tests)
- ChatInput clears after sending (7 tests)
- ChatWindow scrolls to bottom on new message (6 tests)
- TypingIndicator shows/hides based on prop (4 tests)

**Integration Tests:**
- Sending message updates store and calls ChatService
- Message appears in UI after sending
- Input field clears after send

**Accessibility Tests:**
- All touch targets >=44px (verified in ChatInput tests)
- Color contrast >=4.5:1 (verified in ChatBubble tests)
- Keyboard navigation works (Enter to send, Shift+Enter for newline)

### File Structure Requirements

```

### Previous Story Intelligence (from Story 1.1)

**Patterns Established:**
- ChatService at `src/services/chat-service.ts` with `saveMessage()` method
- chat-store at `src/lib/store/chat-store.ts` with `messages` array and `sendMessage` action
- TDD approach with Vitest + React Testing Library
- fake-indexeddb for reliable database testing

**Learnings Applied:**
- Used atomic selectors to prevent re-renders (critical for chat UI performance)
- All components return plain objects from services, not Dexie observables
- Tested store interactions with mock services using selector-based mocking

**Files from 1.1:**
- `src/lib/db/index.ts` - Dexie schema
- `src/services/chat-service.ts` - Business logic layer
- `src/lib/store/chat-store.ts` - Zustand store

### Senior Developer Review (AI)
- **Outcome:** Approved (Automatic Fixes Applied)
- **Findings:**
  - 🔴 Critical: `isTyping` state was missing from store. Added to store and simulated response delay.
  - 🟡 Medium: `ChatBubble` performance optimized with `useMemo`.
  - 🟢 Low: Accessibility (visual label) deferred.
- **Validation:** 33/33 Tests passed. All ACs verified.
