Project Goal

Build a spreadsheet-like electrical distribution board circuit list editor.

The editor is used for electrical planning in execution design.

It must support circuits, device rows, project devices, drag-and-drop restructuring, stable equipment identifiers and later electrical sizing logic.

Critical Domain Rules

• A circuit is not the same thing as one device row.
• A circuit contains zero, one or multiple device rows.
• A single-device circuit may be displayed as one compact row.
• A multi-device circuit must be displayed with a circuit summary row and indented device rows.
• Equipment identifiers belong to circuits, not to every device row.
• Device rows inside a circuit do not have their own equipment identifiers.
• Protection and cable data belong to the circuit, not to individual devices.
• Device-level values include quantity, power per unit, simultaneity factor, cosPhi, room data, cost group and category.
• Circuit total power is the sum of all device rows in that circuit.
• Existing equipment identifiers must never be changed automatically.
• Renumbering is always an explicit user action.

Existing Codebase Rule

There is an existing codebase.

Do not blindly continue old assumptions.

Do not blindly delete the codebase.

First audit current code against the specification.

Keep working parts if they match the target model.

Refactor or replace parts that conflict with the target model.

Before large changes, summarize:

• what is kept
• what is changed
• what is removed
• why

Implementation Discipline

Work in phases.

Do not implement unrelated future features while working on a phase.

Before coding, briefly state:

• files to change
• data model impact
• UI impact
• risks

Prefer small, reviewable changes.

Do not rewrite the whole app unless the current architecture blocks the required domain model.

Naming

Use English names in code.

Use clear domain names:

• ProjectDevice
• DistributionBoard
• CircuitSection
• Circuit
• CircuitDeviceRow
• equipmentIdentifier
• displayName
• phaseType
• quantity
• powerPerUnit
• simultaneityFactor
• cosPhi
• rowTotalPower
• circuitTotalPower

Avoid ambiguous names like:

• item
• thing
• entry
• rowData

Use them only for local UI variables where the context is obvious.

Numbering Rules

Default sections:

• Lighting: prefix -1F
• Single-phase circuits: prefix -2F
• Three-phase circuits: prefix -3F

New circuit identifier:

• highest existing number in the section + 1

Do not fill gaps automatically.

Do not renumber after insert, delete, move, sort or drag-and-drop.

Renumber only when the user explicitly triggers "Renumber section".

UI Rules

The circuit list table should behave like a spreadsheet.

Cells show static text by default.

Inline edit starts by:

• double click
• Enter
• typing
• F2

Keyboard behavior:

• Enter confirms
• Escape cancels
• Tab / Shift+Tab navigates editable cells
• Arrow keys navigate cells when not editing

Support Ctrl+Plus and Ctrl+Shift+Plus for insertion.

Bootstrap / Styling Rule

Bootstrap may be used for the general application UI, such as navigation, page layout, buttons, forms, cards, alerts and modals.

Do not use Bootstrap as the core table/grid framework for the circuit list editor.

The circuit list editor must remain a custom spreadsheet-like component with controlled cell selection, inline edit mode, row grouping, drag-and-drop indicators and keyboard behavior.

Avoid permanent Bootstrap form controls inside table cells. Table cells should show static text by default and switch to inputs only while editing.

Drag-and-Drop Rules

Dragging from the circuit identifier / circuit handle moves the whole circuit.

Dragging from the device area moves device rows.

Project devices can be dragged from a sidebar into the circuit list.

Drop onto a free placeholder creates a new circuit.

Drop onto an existing circuit adds the device to that circuit.

Moving a device recalculates affected circuit totals.

Moving rows never renumbers circuits automatically.

Show clear visual drop indicators.

Reject invalid drop targets or require confirmation.

Sorting and Filtering

Filtering should work through column headers.

Sorting should work through column headers.

Sorting moves complete circuits as blocks.

Sorting must not split device rows away from their circuit.

Sorting does not renumber.

The user may explicitly renumber after sorting.

Linked Project Devices

Circuit device rows may be linked to project devices.

displayName is copied on insert but not synchronized automatically.

When a project device changes, show affected linked rows and let the user choose which fields to sync.

Never silently overwrite local changes.

Allow disconnecting linked rows from project devices.

Manual Rows

Manual rows are allowed and common.

Manual rows can later be saved as project devices.

After saving, the row becomes linked to the new project device.

Undo / Redo

Implement undo/redo for structural and destructive operations.

Required operations:

• insert circuit
• insert device
• delete circuit
• delete device
• move circuit
• move device
• multi-row move
• renumber section
• edit cell value
• edit equipment identifier
• synchronization changes

Future Sizing

Do not implement full cable/protection sizing unless explicitly requested.

Keep the structure ready for it.

Future sizing will need:

• circuit total power
• phase type
• voltage
• cosPhi
• cable length
• cable type
• cable cross-section
• protection rated current
• control requirement such as DALI

Users must be able to override sizing suggestions.

Response Style for Codex

Be concise.

Do not restate the whole specification.

Reference the relevant file and section.

When uncertain, choose the simplest implementation that preserves the domain model.

Do not add libraries unless there is a clear reason.

Do not introduce global state management unless needed.
