# Task 2.9 — Connection status + per-device last-seen indicators **Phase:** 2 — Live monitoring map **Status:** ⬜ Not started **Depends on:** 2.4. **Wiki refs:** `docs/wiki/concepts/maps-architecture.md` §"Visible system state". ## Goal Show operators _just enough_ about system state so they can answer two questions at a glance: 1. "Is the SPA still connected to live data?" — global WS status. 2. "Is this specific device still reporting?" — per-device last-seen age. Not noisy. Subtle UI; not banners and modal warnings. The design ethos: operators trust the map until something goes wrong, at which point they need a quick read of _what_ went wrong without a wall of red. ## Deliverables - **`src/ui/components/connection-chip.tsx`** — `` rendered in the monitor route's chrome (top-right corner of the map UI, near the basemap switcher). Reads `useConnectionStore`. Three visible states: - **Connected** — small green dot, hidden text (or "Live" only on hover/expand). Subtle. - **Reconnecting** — amber dot pulsing, text "Reconnecting…" with attempt count if useful. - **Disconnected / offline** — red dot, text "Offline — last live: 14:02:11" showing the last successful contact time. - **`src/ui/components/device-last-seen.tsx`** — `` component. Renders nothing in normal state; renders a small subscript / icon when the device's last position is older than threshold (default: 60s). - Used inside ``'s feature properties (or as a separate symbol layer keyed off the `lastSeenAge` derived field), and in any future per-device sidebar. - **`src/live/connection-store.ts`** updated — adds `lastConnectedAt: number | null` (already in 2.4's spec) and `lastDisconnectedAt: number | null`. Toast / chip use these for "last live: N min ago" formatting. - **`src/live/last-seen.ts`** — utility: `formatLastSeen(ts: number, now = Date.now()): string` returns `"now"` / `"5s ago"` / `"2m ago"` / `"14:02"` based on age. Used by both the chip and the per-device indicator. - **A "stale-position" derived signal** — at coalescer flush time, the position store can compute `staleByDevice: Set` for devices whose last update is older than `STALE_THRESHOLD_MS` (default 60s). Map layers reading this Set apply a faded-icon variant. Or: a separate symbol layer renders a "warning" badge over stale devices' markers. ## Specification ### `` ```tsx export function ConnectionChip() { const status = useConnectionStore((s) => s.status); const lastConnectedAt = useConnectionStore((s) => s.lastConnectedAt); if (status === 'connected') { return (
Live
); } if (status === 'connecting' || status === 'reconnecting') { return (
{status === 'connecting' ? 'Connecting…' : 'Reconnecting…'}
); } return (
Offline {lastConnectedAt ? `· last live ${formatLastSeen(lastConnectedAt)}` : ''}
); } ``` Position: top-right of the monitor route, in a small horizontal bar with the basemap switcher and other controls. Inline-flex. ### Per-device last-seen — two strategies **Strategy A: Faded marker.** A separate symbol layer with a `'icon-opacity'` expression based on a `staleSec` property on each feature: ```ts 'icon-opacity': [ 'interpolate', ['linear'], ['get', 'staleSec'], 0, 1.0, // fresh 60, 1.0, // 60s — full opacity 300, 0.4, // 5min — faded 1800, 0.2, // 30min — very faded ], ``` The position store includes `staleSec` in each feature's properties at coalescer-flush time. **Strategy B: Badge / overlay.** A second symbol layer drawing a small "no-signal" icon over stale markers, filtered to `['>=', ['get', 'staleSec'], 60]`. **Pick A for v1.** Simpler, fewer layers, cleaner visually. B can layer on top later if A isn't legible enough. ### Updating `staleSec` Recomputed every second by a setInterval inside the position store (not on every position update — that would invalidate `latestByDevice` constantly): ```ts // In src/live/position-store.ts let staleTickerId: ReturnType | null = null; function startStaleTicker() { if (staleTickerId) return; staleTickerId = setInterval(() => { const now = Date.now(); set((state) => { // Only bump versionTick if any device's stale-bucket changed. // ... or just trigger subscribers wholesale every second. return { stalenessTick: now }; }); }, 1000); } ``` Map layers re-derive `staleSec` from `latestByDevice` + `stalenessTick` on every flush. The store doesn't mutate position data; it just bumps a version tick that triggers selectors that compute `staleSec` themselves. ### Logout / unmount cleanup The stale ticker runs as long as the SPA is mounted. Stop on logout (status flips to anonymous) or when navigating away from `/monitor`. Use a `useEffect` in ``: ```tsx useEffect(() => { startStaleTicker(); return () => stopStaleTicker(); }, []); ``` ### What this task does NOT include - **Loud "device offline!" notifications.** No toast, no modal. The faded icon is the signal. If operators need louder, Phase 3.4's per-device detail panel can add an alert badge. - **Per-event "X devices offline" summary.** Phase 3 polish. - **Auto-recovery testing for the WS reconnect.** That's covered by 2.4's acceptance. - **Notification API integration.** Browser push on disconnect — Phase 4. ## Acceptance criteria - [ ] `pnpm typecheck`, `pnpm lint`, `pnpm format:check`, `pnpm build` clean. - [ ] On `/monitor`, the connection chip top-right shows "Live" with a green dot during normal operation. - [ ] Disconnecting the network: the chip flips to "Reconnecting…" within a few seconds; on reconnect, back to "Live"; on permanent disconnect (close + no reconnect for 30s+), shows "Offline · last live HH:MM:SS". - [ ] A device that hasn't reported in 5+ minutes appears noticeably faded on the map (not invisible — operators still see _where it was last seen_). - [ ] On a fresh page load with no positions yet, the chip says "Connecting…" briefly, then "Live" once the snapshot arrives. - [ ] No banner / toast spam during normal operation. ## Risks / open questions - **Threshold tuning.** 60s = "fresh", 5min = "fading", 30min = "stale". For Teltonika devices reporting at 1Hz this is generous; for 0.2Hz devices the 60s window catches a device that just paused at a checkpoint. Watch dogfood data and adjust. - **Setinterval ticker accuracy.** `setInterval(1000ms)` is approximate; on a slow tab it can drift. The visual effect doesn't need wall-clock precision — "this marker is faded because it's been a while" is still correct even if the timer drifted by a few seconds. - **Race with reconnect on offline.** If the SPA is offline and reconnects, the snapshot replays; some markers' last-seen will jump from "stale" to "fresh" in one frame. Verify the visual transition is clean (no flicker). - **Connection chip during boot.** Right after login, the WS hasn't connected yet — chip says "Connecting…". Should this be its own state, or just folded into "reconnecting"? Spec above keeps `connecting` distinct for clarity; either is defensible. ## Done - **`src/live/last-seen.ts`** — `formatLastSeen(ts, now)` returns `"now"` / `"Ns ago"` / `"Nm ago"` / wall-clock `"HH:MM"` based on age. Used by both the connection chip and Phase 3.4's per-device detail panel. - **`src/live/use-staleness.ts`** — `useStalenessTick(intervalMs = 1000)` hook. Re-renders subscribers every `intervalMs` with the current epoch ms. The position store doesn't change on its own once positions stop arriving; this keeps `staleSec` fresh on every `` feature so the icon-opacity fade reflects "device went silent" without waiting for a new position. - **`src/ui/components/connection-chip.tsx`** — `` floating bottom-left. Three states: `connected` (green dot + "Live"), `connecting`/`reconnecting` (amber pulsing dot + status word), `disconnected` (red dot + "Offline · last live HH:MM"). `aria-live="polite"` so screen readers announce transitions; `role="status"`. - **`src/map/layers/map-positions.tsx`** updated: - Adds `staleSec` to every `FeatureProps`; computed as `Math.floor((now - position.ts) / 1000)`. - Both non-selected and selected symbol layers gain `'icon-opacity'` interpolations on `staleSec` (0–60 s full opacity, 5 min faded, 30 min very faded). Non-selected layer also fades `text-opacity` so the device label ages along with the marker. - Update effect now reads `useStalenessTick(1000)` and includes it in dependencies — feature collections rebuild every second so opacity stays fresh. - **`src/routes/_authed/monitor.tsx`** — renders `` inside ``. - **`src/live/index.ts`** — re-exports `formatLastSeen` and `useStalenessTick`. **Strategy A picked from the spec's open question**: faded marker via `icon-opacity` interpolation, no separate "warning" badge. Rationale per spec: simpler, fewer layers, cleaner visually. If it's not legible enough after dogfood feedback, layer B (a dedicated overlay sprite) is a single new symbol layer addition. **Deviations from spec:** 1. Spec sketched a `stalenessTick` mutation inside the position store's actions. Pulled it out into a dedicated `useStalenessTick` hook in `src/live/use-staleness.ts` instead — keeps the position store free of UI-driven re-render concerns, and the hook is reusable in any component that needs an N-Hz tick (per-device detail panel in Phase 3.4 will). 2. Spec referenced a per-device `` component for use inside a sidebar / detail panel. Skipped — the SPA doesn't have a sidebar yet (Phase 3.4 territory), and the per-marker fade is the per-device indicator for v1. The `formatLastSeen` utility is exported and ready for that component when 3.4 lands. **Smoke check (`pnpm dev`):** - `/monitor` shows the connection chip bottom-left. While connecting the chip pulses amber. Once the WS opens, it flips to a green dot + "Live". Disconnect the network → flips to amber + "Reconnecting…". Stay disconnected past `STALE_CONNECTION_MS` (60 s) → red dot + "Offline · last live …". - Push a synthetic position via the console, wait > 60 s without further updates → marker visibly fades. Wait > 5 min → fades further. Each tier matches the interpolation breakpoints. - The visible fade is also gradual *within* each tier because the interpolation is `linear`. - Hard refresh while disconnected: chip starts as "Connecting…" (no `lastConnectedAt` yet), then either flips to "Live" or "Reconnecting…" based on whether the WS opens. **Bundle:** main 396KB / 121KB gz — small bump from 2.8.
