# Detail Panel Consistency Test

# Detail Panel Consistency - Implementation Complete

## ✅ Consistent Behavior Implemented

All entity browsers (ShotBrowser, AssetBrowser, TaskBrowser) now have consistent detail panel behavior following the specification.

### ShotBrowser

- Auto-enable toggle with primary color styling
- Manual 'i' key toggle
- Panel persistence across selections
- Combined visibility logic (auto OR manual)
- Mobile sheet support

### AssetBrowser

- Auto-enable toggle with primary color styling
- Manual 'i' key toggle
- Panel persistence across selections
- Combined visibility logic (auto OR manual)
- Mobile sheet support

### TaskBrowser

- Auto-enable toggle with primary color styling
- Manual 'i' key toggle
- Panel persistence across selections
- Combined visibility logic (auto OR manual)
- Mobile sheet support

## 🧪 Comprehensive Test Scenarios

### Scenario 1: Auto-Enable Behavior (All Browsers)

1. Navigate to any entity browser (shots/assets/tasks)
2. Ensure detail panel toggle button shows primary color (enabled)
3. Select an entity row
4. Panel should appear automatically
5. Select different entity rows
6. Panel should stay visible and update content
7. Click toggle button to disable auto-enable
8. Button should change to outline style
9. Select different entities - panel should not auto-show

### Scenario 2: Manual Panel Control (All Browsers)

1. Disable auto-enable mode (outline button)
2. Select an entity (panel should not appear)
3. Press 'i' key to manually show panel
4. Panel should appear with selected entity details
5. Select different entity rows
6. Panel should stay visible and update content
7. Press 'i' key again
8. Panel should hide

### Scenario 3: Mixed Mode Behavior (All Browsers)

1. Enable auto-mode (primary color button)
2. Select an entity (panel appears automatically)
3. Press 'i' to manually hide panel
4. Select another entity
5. Panel should appear automatically (auto-enable overrides manual hide)
6. Press 'i' to manually show/hide while auto-enabled
7. Manual control should work independently

### Scenario 4: Input Field Protection (All Browsers)

1. Select an entity to activate panel controls
2. Click in search input field
3. Press 'i' key while typing
4. Panel should NOT toggle (input field protection)
5. Click outside input field
6. Press 'i' key
7. Panel should toggle normally

### Scenario 5: Mobile Responsiveness (All Browsers)

1. Resize browser to mobile width (<1024px)
2. Select an entity with auto-enable on
3. Mobile sheet should appear
4. Press 'i' key to toggle mobile sheet
5. Sheet should show/hide with 'i' key
6. Resize back to desktop
7. Panel should appear as fixed overlay

## 🔧 Implementation Details

### Consistent State Management:

    // All browsers now have these states:
    const isDetailPanelEnabled = ref(true)  // Auto-enable toggle
    const isDetailPanelVisible = ref(false) // Manual visibility

    // Combined visibility logic:
    v-if="selectedEntity && (isDetailPanelEnabled || isDetailPanelVisible)"

### Keyboard Handler (Identical Across All Browsers):

    const handleKeyDown = (event: KeyboardEvent) => {
      if (event.key.toLowerCase() === 'i' && selectedEntity.value) {
        // Input field protection
        if (target.tagName === 'INPUT' || target.tagName === 'TEXTAREA') return

        // Toggle visibility
        isDetailPanelVisible.value = !isDetailPanelVisible.value
      }
    }

### Selection Handlers (Consistent Behavior):

    // Manual visibility is NOT reset on selection
    const selectEntity = (entity) => {
      selectedEntity.value = entity
      // No longer: isDetailPanelVisible.value = false
      // Panel stays open if manually activated
    }

### Toggle Button Styling (Identical):

    <Button
      :variant="isDetailPanelEnabled ? 'default' : 'outline'"
      :class="isDetailPanelEnabled ? 'bg-primary text-primary-foreground' : ''"
    >

## ⚠️ Edge Cases Covered

- No Entity Selected: 'i' key does nothing when no entity is selected
- Dialog Interference: 'i' key disabled when dialogs are open
- Input Field Focus: 'i' key disabled when typing in input fields
- Mobile/Desktop Transitions: Panel type switches smoothly based on screen size
- Panel Close Actions: Close button resets both auto and manual states appropriately
- Lifecycle Management: Keyboard listeners properly added/removed on mount/unmount

## 🎯 User Experience Benefits

### Consistent Muscle Memory:

- Same 'i' key shortcut works across all entity browsers
- Same toggle button behavior and styling everywhere
- Same panel persistence logic for efficient workflows

### Flexible Workflows:

- Auto-enable for quick browsing with automatic panel updates
- Manual control for focused work sessions
- Panel persistence for reviewing multiple entities in sequence
- Independent control modes that work together seamlessly

### Improved Productivity:

- No accidental panel hiding when browsing entities
- Keyboard shortcuts for power users
- Consistent behavior reduces cognitive load
- Mobile-friendly responsive design

🎉 All entity browsers now provide a unified, consistent detail panel experience!
