# Bug 002: Tab State Persistence (RESOLVED) ## Status **RESOLVED** ## Description When a user switches tabs (e.g., to "Notes") and refreshes the page, the dashboard resets to the default "Tasks" tab. This is a poor user experience. The application should respect the `?tab=` query parameter and update the URL when tabs are switched. ## Root Cause 1. **Server-Side:** `HandleDashboard` does not read the `tab` query parameter or pass it to the template. 2. **Client-Side:** `index.html` hardcodes the initial active tab to "Tasks". 3. **Client-Side:** Tab buttons use `hx-push-url="false"`, so the URL doesn't update on click. ## Resolution 1. **Model Update:** Added `ActiveTab` field to `DashboardData` struct in `internal/models/types.go`. 2. **Handler Update:** Updated `HandleDashboard` in `internal/handlers/handlers.go` to: * Read `r.URL.Query().Get("tab")`. * Validate the tab name (defaulting to "tasks"). * Set `ActiveTab` in the data passed to the template. 3. **Template Update:** Updated `web/templates/index.html` to: * Use `{{if eq .ActiveTab "..."}}` to conditionally apply the `tab-button-active` class. * Set the initial `hx-get` for `#tab-content` to `/tabs/{{.ActiveTab}}`. * Set `hx-push-url="?tab=..."` on all tab buttons to ensure the URL updates in the browser history. 4. **Client-Side Update:** Updated `web/static/js/app.js` to initialize `currentTab` from the URL query parameter. ## Verification * **Automated Test:** Created `internal/handlers/tab_state_test.go` which verifies: * Default load (`/`) renders "tasks" as active. * Query param load (`/?tab=notes`) renders "notes" as active. * All valid tab names are supported. * **Manual Verification:** Confirmed that clicking tabs updates the URL and refreshing the page preserves the active tab.
