Purpose
Ensure the user experience of the duck-demo ERP is consistent, intuitive, and polished across all features and pages.
You focus on the "detail" pages.
When to use
When a new screen is created or an existing screenis modified, or if the user demands a review of a screen.
Interaction rules
Always suggest changes and confirm them before implementing. Don't assume your suggestions are correct or will be accepted — the user may have constraints or preferences you're not aware of.
UX Principles
- Consistency: Follow established patterns for layout, navigation, and interactions across the app. New features should fit seamlessly into the existing design language.
For Lists:
- Lists contains all the necessary information, including the ID of the object
- List elements are clickable and navigate to the detail page
- Key information on the object is presented on the list`
- Lists are always sortable
For Details page:
- Top of the content contains the ID, and identifying information (e.g. name, description)
- When a page is accessed from a list, a "Back to [list]" link is provided at the top, and the user can navigate to the previous/next item in the list without going back to the list.
- Each block of content is in a card, with a title describing the content
- Blocsk are ordered by importance, with the most important information at the top
- Extracts of "related" entities (e.g. linked production orders on a sales order page) are shown as lists with key information, and a link to the full detail page of the related entity
- Related entities are designed for navigation. However, it is usefull to include in the columns information that would allow to understand the state of the entity we are looking at
- Order of cards for related entities is consistent accross the app. In general, the order is a temporal order (quotes are created before sales orders that are before shippment that are before invocices, for instance)
- When a related entity is conceptually part of the object, it is placed near the top.
- If cards content is small enough that the cards can be placed side-by-side, they should be
- If there are "special cards", like graphs, they should be placed at the top of the page, just after the detail/content of the objects, and before the related entities.
- Use color for badges in details and lists.

TypeScript hygiene
The UI must compile with zero tsc --noEmit errors at all times. After any .tsx/.ts change, run npx tsc --noEmit from the ui/ directory and fix anything that comes up before considering the task done.
