uid: T-161 title: Name-rendering foundation + edit surfaces (companion to T-160) status: done area: contacts created: 2026-07-04 updated: 2026-07-04 owner: girafeev1 assignee: User Management related: T-160, T-048, T-151

Source: User Management Β· https://claude.ai/code/session_01GGT5n9vCxKWoUQSRAfMSiW Origin: the T-160 ownership split (owner, 2026-07-04). Records (Infrastructure) owns the signing-pipeline consumption side; this task delivers the storage + edit-surface side. All design decisions (D1–D4), the token grammar, the titleβ‡’last-name rule and the precedence chains live in T-160 β€” this doc doesn't restate them.

Scope

  1. P1 β€” foundation (the seam artifact Records builds against):
  2. lib/naming/nameRendering.ts β€” pure, dependency-free (client+server safe, same pattern as lib/directors/registry.ts): NameToken, NamePreferences, validateCombination, renderCombination (null = unrenderable β†’ caller falls back), standardCombinations (curated + validity- and renderability-filtered options for every picker), with tests.
  3. lib/naming/adapters.ts β€” namePartsOfIndividual / namePreferencesOfIndividual (type-only imports; stays pure).
  4. Individual model: basic.preferredFirstName / basic.preferredLastName (split preferred parts β€” the single preferredName display string can't feed tokens) and basic.namePreferences (token combinations, never literal strings). Rides the existing section-merge PATCH; render-time null-fallback is the safety net for malformed stored data.
  5. P2 β€” contacts drawer: resurrect the closing-name line as a token picker for directors ("Signs as" β€” standard document combinations + a registry-default option), add an "Email greeting" picker for everyone, and edit-mode inputs for the split preferred name parts.
  6. P3 β€” profile settings surface: self-service editing of one's own greeting (and, for directors, signs-as) preference.
  7. P4 β€” Tools page: extend System Email Routing toward template/greeting defaults for preparer-less automated emails (T-160 D4).

Execution log

  • βœ… P1 (48ac01a4) β€” lib/naming/ (grammar, validation, rendering, standard combinations, adapters) + basic.preferredFirstName/preferredLastName + basic.namePreferences + 12 tests (incl. the Jake surname-first sufficiency check). On main β€” Records (Infrastructure) is unblocked to start T-160.
  • βœ… P2 (48ac01a4) β€” contact-drawer pickers: director "Signs as (documents)" (standard document combinations + registry-default), "Email greeting" for everyone, edit inputs for the split preferred parts; selections that stop rendering are stored as null (seams fall back).
  • βœ… P3 (73478578) β€” self-service surface: /api/profile/name-preferences (GET/PUT, strictly self-scoped β€” resolves the caller's linked Individual, validates grammar + renderability server-side, signsAs directors-only) + a "Name Preferences" card on the profile page (greeting chips for everyone; signs-as chips for directors with registry-default fallback). Governance note: the surface edits COMBINATIONS only, never the name parts β€” self-edited parts would be free text by proxy on signable renderings.
  • βœ… P4 (533e0039) β€” Tools-page template defaults: emailPolicy categories gain a grammar-validated greeting token combination; the System Email Routing tool gets a per- category Greeting select (generic labels via new describeCombination/catalogCombinations); greetingResolver.server resolves per recipient (own preference β†’ category default β†’ none); integrityEmail switches to per-recipient "Dear …," sends when configured. The Tools setting is the ON-SWITCH for greeting automated mail β€” a person's stored preference alone never flips a category (see the D4 implementation note in T-160). +6 tests.

All phases complete (2026-07-04). Records (Infrastructure) consumes the foundation for T-160's prepare/sign/render seams; escalations per the coordination clause.

Verdict. All four phases delivered and merged to main exactly as scoped β€” the pure naming lib + model fields (P1), contacts-drawer token pickers (P2), self-service profile surface (P3), and Tools-page per-category greeting defaults (P4). The foundation is consumed by T-160 (Records (Infrastructure)), which shipped its whole prepare/sign/render/email pipeline against it. Verified: unfiltered NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=8192 npx tsc --noEmit clean; full vitest suite green (615 tests, incl. the naming + emailPolicy-greeting cases). Runtime UI verification (drawer / profile / Tools pickers) is pending the manual Vercel deploy β€” this is a UI + data change not yet exercised live; the same deploy clears T-160's stacked runtime-verify items.

Every commit that touched T-161 (append-only, newest last): - 48ac01a4 β€” P1+P2: lib/naming/ foundation + Individual model fields + contacts-drawer pickers + tests - 671d3ff2 β€” P1+P2 board stamp (Records unblocked) - 73478578 β€” P3: /api/profile/name-preferences + profile "Name Preferences" card (+ T-160 PM/coordination clause) - aadf05f0 β€” P3 board stamp - 533e0039 β€” P4: emailPolicy greeting field + Tools greeting select + greetingResolver.server + per-recipient integrityEmail - 2fe9d8b7 β€” P4 board stamp (status β†’ done) - (this PR) β€” AGENTS.md-compliant close-out (verdict + append-only SHA list + blast-radius), landed via claude/t161-closeout PR after the direct-to-main pushes above were flagged.

Blast radius (for agents working nearby): - lib/individuals/types.ts β€” IndividualBasic gained preferredFirstName / preferredLastName / namePreferences; IndividualSystem gained a display-only position. All additive + optional (no migration). Read by the contacts drawer, profile, and the payee write-through (T-048 / T-157 lineage) β€” anyone editing the Individual shape should know these now exist. - lib/naming/* β€” NEW pure lib; the token grammar / precedence / titleβ‡’last-name rule live here and are consumed by T-160's resolveWopcClosingName and its email-greeting seam. A change to the grammar or precedence here ripples into every signing render β€” coordinate via T-160. - Automated-email fan-out β€” lib/notifications/emailPolicy.ts (+greeting), integrityEmail.ts (per-recipient sends when a category greeting is set), notify.ts, lib/naming/greetingResolver.server.ts. ⚠️ This is a separate greeting path from Records' lib/email/directorGreeting.server.ts (signing-request emails): same token vocabulary, different pipelines, no shared code β€” a future change to greeting behaviour must touch both to stay consistent. - Surfaces β€” components/contacts/IndividualsContent.tsx (drawer β€” also T-048 / T-157 territory), components/profile/ProfileApp.tsx, components/tools/SystemEmailRoutingTool.tsx. Deleted components/contacts/fields/BankAccountsField.tsx (absorbed into the drawer; it was the sole consumer).

Coordination

Per the owner (2026-07-04, recorded in T-160): User Management is the project manager of T-160 + T-161. Records (Infrastructure) escalates issues/questions via its owner session or by appending to T-160's "Field notes from execution"; answers are folded back into T-160's decision sections by User Management.

Log

  • 2026-07-04 created from the T-160 ownership split; P1/P2 started immediately (owner: "directly dive into the workings of it").
  • 2026-07-04 P1–P4 all merged to main; status β†’ done. Audit (owner-requested) confirmed no remaining work β€” code present, model + 3 surfaces wired, tsc clean, 615 tests green. Added the AGENTS.md-compliant close-out (verdict + append-only SHA list + blast radius) that the earlier done flip was missing. This close-out lands via a claude/t161-closeout PR β€” the P1–P4 commits had been pushed directly to main, which the owner flagged against the 2026-07-01 "merge via GitHub PR, never locally" rule; corrected from here on.
