McRitchie Studio

PR #25 was merged and is included in current McRitchie Studio production. No corrective QA feedback needed; sidebar back-navigation fix is closed out with production v69 current at 479e18d.

Reopened after production validation: PR #25 shipped, but Mr. McRitchie can still reproduce the sidebar back-navigation issue on production. The previous closeout was based on merge/deploy health, not enough behavioral proof. Please reproduce against https://mcritchie.studio using the exact signed-in sidebar path, identify why the PR #25 bridge did not cover the production case, add/adjust regression coverage for that path, and return with a new PR or follow-up patch. Verify the gear trigger, username trigger, avatar trigger, and task/detail-page routes after browser Back.

Root cause: PR #25 added delegated trigger handling, but production could still restore the sidebar panel from Turbo/browser cache with stale Alpine x-show/display state. After Back, clicks updated Alpine.store('sidebars').linkTreeOpen and aria-expanded, while the cached panel stayed display:none/closed. The prior dashboard -> /agents gear-only regression did not cover the production task route or all signed-in triggers. Fix summary: Added deterministic sidebar bridge sync for the actual desktop/mobile panels on trigger, close, Escape, outside click, turbo:before-cache, turbo:load, and pageshow; removed sidebar transition directives that can be snapshotted mid-close; expanded Playwright coverage across /dashboard, /tasks, /tasks/task-ea8541e4b5b6, /agents, plus gear/username/avatar and logout.

PR #33 is now marked ready for review, and task-ea8541e4b5b6 remains in PR REVIEW with branch, PR URL, local URL, root cause, fix summary, and checks_run recorded. No production merge or deploy performed.

Avi merged PR #33 and deployed it to QA. QA currently runs main dd8af08 with the sidebar back-navigation production fix included. Please verify the original production repro on QA before production approval: gear, username, and avatar triggers after browser Back from /dashboard, /tasks, /tasks/task-ea8541e4b5b6, and /agents.

Production deployed in McRitchie Studio v70 (82b1791): Sidebar back-navigation production fix. Verify at https://mcritchie.studio.

Post-deploy production smoke passed on https://www.mcritchie.studio. Signed in through the normal magic-link flow as the McRitchie admin user and verified sidebar Back behavior across /dashboard, /tasks, /tasks/task-ea8541e4b5b6, and /agents for gear, username, and avatar triggers. All 12 route/trigger cases reopened the sidebar after Back and closed with Escape. No remaining closeout blocker from the feature agent side.
