v2.7 dropped materials.category_id and the API started returning category: null for
every material, but the frontend still read material.category as the material's label.
Effect: the edit page's material field rendered blank for every row, the dashboard
category filter listed nothing (and matched nothing), the wizard's category suggestions
were empty, and the conversion lookups keyed by category (refConverted →
categoryUnits/unitConversions) silently returned null, dropping the per-reference-unit
price. Saving an edited quote matched materials on an always-true category term, so two
materials sharing brand+specs were interchangeable.
Auditing the dropped column also turned up four places still dereferencing it, one
request away from a 500 and hidden only because the inventory is empty:
GET /inventory (serializer), GET /inventory?category_id=…, GET /inventory/materials/options
and DELETE /material-categories/{id}.
Backend:
- expand_service: category_by_material() resolves a material's display category from its
FIRST linked supplier (oldest supplier_materials row — the v2.5 trigger's rule), used by
the material and line-item payloads; category_id is populated again when not expanded.
- inventory: list filter, row serializer and material-options filter match through
supplier_materials ⋈ suppliers, mirroring GET /materials?category_id=…
- material_categories: the delete guard blocks on suppliers (the RESTRICT FK) and says so.
Frontend:
- Material.category → Material.supplier_category (supplier-derived, documented); the
rename pushed every read site through tsc.
- Labels use the material's own name; the edit modal field is «متریال» and prefills by
name; formatMaterialTitle no longer falls back to a category.
- Identity matching (edit modal, wizard, material memory) is name + brand + specs via a
shared matchMaterial(), so same-brand same-spec materials are not conflated; legacy
composed names are still found through materialBaseName().
- Filters read the supplier's category (dashboard options + quote filter, consistent with
the backend's quote filtering); supplier categories now come from the supplier FK
instead of the removed JSONB column. Conversion keys use supplier_category.
- Removed dead code carrying the old logic: two uncalled topicCategories copies and
materialOptions' unused "cat" branch.
Verified: both images build clean (tsc -b && vite build); the API was exercised in-process
against a restore of the current production dump with an inventory row added — material
and line-item payloads carry the supplier category, the inventory endpoints that used to
raise return 200, and the category delete guard returns 409 instead of 500.
Domain model (v2.6): suppliers.category_id NOT NULL (1:N from the 8 fixed
categories), materials are global and link to suppliers via
supplier_materials. This fixes three regressions of the old inverted tree:
- remove the intermediate 'یک متریال را انتخاب کنید' screen: a category
card now routes straight to that category's supplier list
(/suppliers/category/:category); TopicPage is deleted and legacy
/topics/:topic[/:category] URLs redirect to the new hierarchy
- kill the accidental-category bug: api.materials.create silently POSTed
/material-categories for any unknown 'category' (a material name!), which
is how the rogue «پریز» category (+ junk material) appeared. Unknown
categories now fail loudly instead of creating catalog rows (DB cleaned:
exactly the 8 canonical categories remain)
- fix inverted wording: supplier list is «تأمینکنندههای این دسته» with
category-first breadcrumbs; the legacy material multi-select on the
add-supplier form is gone (a supplier gets the page's category)
- supplier details screen logic untouched — only its breadcrumb link
targets were updated to the new routes
- bug1: quote header fulfillment counter («رسید: X از Y قلم» amber / «تکمیل
شد» green / «در راه»); expanded line items visually split into the
received part (رسید شده ✓ + date + target warehouse from the receipt
allocations) and the in-transit remainder — quantities always sum to the
original line (invariant D holds, display-only split)
- bug2: 8-topic grids (suppliers/wizard/units) now come from
/material-categories via the store (new lib/topics.ts; fixed the mismatched
«ابزار و تجهیزات ساخت» label); suppliers topic->category resolution no
longer falls back to an arbitrary category; duplicate month/status lists
reuse the shared dictionaries; TopicGrid gained a loading EmptyState
- bug3: hub-and-spoke — the tab strip renders only on the warehouse
dashboard; sub-views hide it and navigate back via «بازگشت به داشبورد»;
«افزایش موجود» became the «تغییر موجودی» entry button
- bug4: stock count goes through a confirmation modal (current vs counted
vs variance with کسری/مازاد badges) before posting STOCK_COUNT; numbers
parsed defensively
- bug5: found qty is capped client-side (red input + inline warning, submit
disabled) and backend returns 422 when exceeding the missing balance;
fully-recovered losses drop off the pending list
- bug6+7: quantities render as absolute values with semantic color coding
(emerald inflow / rose outflow / blue neutral) across dashboard timeline,
daily control and the change-inventory form
