What Was Built

Home Tab (enhanced from existing skeleton)

  • StatusHero — Large gradient card with athlete avatar, initials, sport/team/jersey, status emoji+badge, injury description, phase progress bar (animated fill), estimated return date
  • RestrictionsCard — Warning card with --status-out left border, restriction list with ⚠ bullets. Hidden when no restrictions.
  • NextAppointment — Highlighted card with --parent-accent left border showing formatted date/time. Hidden when no appointment.
  • PhaseTracker — Step-by-step visual phase list with numbered circles (done=green ✓, current=purple ●, pending=outlined), date annotations
  • CareTeam — Contact cards with role-colored initials (AT=teal, Coach=amber)
  • ActivityFeed — Reverse-chronological list with event-type icons (🎯 milestone, 💬 message, ⚠️ restriction, 🏥 assessment)
  • All components: Loading skeletons → populated → error states with retry

Timeline Tab (built from scratch)

  • PhaseHeader — Sticky top indicator with phase name, number, athlete name
  • VerticalTimeline — Colored dots: green=clearance, amber=restriction, violet=milestone, teal=assessment, blue=message
  • EventCards — Each with icon, bold title, formatted date, description paragraph
  • Past events (>30 days) slightly muted (opacity 0.6)
  • FERPA note — Dashed box: "Clinical notes are not shown in this view"
  • Empty state with message when no active case

Messages Tab (built from scratch)

  • ConversationList — Cards with avatar initials, contact name, role, last message preview, unread badge (purple dot)
  • ChatView — Full-screen overlay with back button + contact header. Message bubbles: parent messages right-aligned violet bg, AT messages left-aligned muted bg with border. Timestamps under each. Read receipts (✓ / ✓✓).
  • Composer — Fixed at bottom: text input (rounded pill) + send button (purple circle). Validates non-empty. Optimistic UI (shows message immediately, then confirms). Failed send shows error inline with tap-to-retry.
  • Message polling: every 30s when Messages tab is open

Child Selector (enhanced)

  • Horizontal scrollable pills with avatar initials + status dot (green/amber/red) on avatar
  • Active state: violet filled border + background
  • "Active" badge if has active case
  • Hidden (display: none) if only 1 child
  • Switching children: flushes all data, shows skeletons, re-fetches everything

JS Architecture

  • Uses existing apiRequest() / checkAuth() / setAuthToken() wrappers — unchanged
  • Tab-aware loading: only fetches data when tab is visible
  • switchChild(): flushes all current data, re-fetches everything for new athlete
  • Exported functions exposed on window.* for HTML onclick compatibility
  • escapeHtml() utility for safe message rendering

Design

  • Mobile-first primary, scales to tablet via @media (min-width: 768px)
  • Dark theme: --parent-accent: #8b5cf6 (violet per spec, overrides rtsport.css rose)
  • Uses EXISTING CSS variables from rtsport.css — no redefinitions
  • 44px minimum tap targets on all interactive elements
  • touch-action: manipulation on interactive elements
  • No external chart libraries — pure CSS progress bars
  • prefers-reduced-motion: reduce respected (via rtsport.css)

Key Design Decisions

  1. Violet override: The spec says #8b5cf6 for parent accent, but rtsport.css has #ff6b9d (rose). Added :root { --parent-accent: #8b5cf6 } in parent-tabs.css with .parent-only scope. This means the parent dashboard gets violet consistently without breaking coach dashboard styles.

  2. Optimistic send: Messages show immediately in the UI, then confirm via API. This avoids the latency of send → wait → render flow, which hurts on mobile connections.

  3. Data model mismatch: The existing HTML assumed /athletes/{id}/case returns timeline data inline, but the spec defines separate /dashboard/parent and /dashboard/parent/timeline endpoints. The new code uses the spec endpoints.

  4. Skeleton + shimmer: Pure CSS shimmer animation on skeleton elements — no JS animation libraries needed.

States Covered

Component Loading Empty Error Populated
StatusHero Shimmer skeleton card "Welcome! Select an athlete" Retry button Full card
PhaseTracker Skeleton phase list "No active recovery — all clear!" N/A (falls back to empty) Step list
CareTeam — "Care team members will appear here" N/A Contact cards
ActivityFeed Skeleton feed items "No recent activity" N/A Event list
Timeline Shimmer timeline cards "No timeline events" Retry button Vertical timeline
Conversations "Loading conversations..." "No Conversations Yet" Retry button Conversation cards
Chat "Loading messages..." "No messages yet" Retry button Message bubbles

Unchanged from Original

  • API auth flow (checkAuth(), setAuthToken(), getAuthToken())
  • API request wrapper (apiRequest())
  • Bottom navigation structure and CSS classes
  • Mobile-first shell with safe-area support
  • app-header and role badge styling
