# Sticker Visibility Toggle Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Add a 3-way segmented toggle (Auto/Show/Hide) to the Picker screen that lets admins control sticker layer visibility on the downstream vote-app overlay via WebSocket.
**Architecture:** State (`stickerMode`) and UI live in the `Picker` component. `SessionInfo` (which owns the WebSocket connection) handles inbound `stickers.mode` events via a setter prop and exposes a send function to `Picker` via a ref. This follows the existing pattern used for poll state, leading game, etc.
**Tech Stack:** React 18, Tailwind CSS, WebSocket (existing `/api/sessions/live` connection)
## Global Constraints
- All changes are in `frontend/src/pages/Picker.jsx` (contains both `Picker` and `SessionInfo` components)
- Mode values are exactly `"auto"`, `"show"`, `"hide"` (matching the downstream API)
- Default mode is `"auto"`
- Follow existing code patterns — local `useState`, props passed to `SessionInfo`, Tailwind utility classes
- No new dependencies

## File Structure
| File | Action | Responsibility |
|------|--------|----------------|
| `frontend/src/pages/Picker.jsx` | Modify | Add `stickerMode` state + `stickerSendRef` ref to `Picker`, render sticker toggle card in right column, add `setStickerMode` + `stickerSendRef` props to `SessionInfo`, handle `stickers.mode` WS events, populate send ref |
Single-file change. Both `Picker` and `SessionInfo` are defined in this file.

### Task 1: Wire sticker state and WebSocket plumbing
**Files:**
- Modify: `frontend/src/pages/Picker.jsx:20-34` (Picker state declarations)
- Modify: `frontend/src/pages/Picker.jsx:1282-1297` (SessionInfo props)
- Modify: `frontend/src/pages/Picker.jsx:1304` (SessionInfo function signature)
- Modify: `frontend/src/pages/Picker.jsx:1385-1396` (WS auth_success handler, populate stickerSendRef)
- Modify: `frontend/src/pages/Picker.jsx:1470-1477` (WS message handler, add stickers.mode)
- Modify: `frontend/src/pages/Picker.jsx:1487-1491` (WS onclose, clear stickerSendRef)
- Modify: `frontend/src/pages/Picker.jsx:1498` (connectWs dependency array)
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: nothing (first task)
- Produces:
- `stickerMode` state (`'auto' | 'show' | 'hide'`) in Picker
- `stickerSendRef` ref (`.current` is `(mode: string) => void` when WS connected, `null` otherwise)
- `setStickerMode` and `stickerSendRef` passed as props to SessionInfo
- [ ] **Step 1: Add stickerMode state and stickerSendRef to Picker**
In `frontend/src/pages/Picker.jsx`, after line 34 (`const [sessionEnded, setSessionEnded] = useState(false);`), add:
```jsx
const [stickerMode, setStickerMode] = useState('auto');
const stickerSendRef = useRef(null);
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Pass new props to SessionInfo**
In `frontend/src/pages/Picker.jsx`, find the `
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Accept new props in SessionInfo function signature**
In `frontend/src/pages/Picker.jsx`, update the `SessionInfo` function signature (line 1304) to destructure the two new props:
```jsx
function SessionInfo({ sessionId, onGamesUpdate, playingGame, setPlayingGame, setHasPlayedGames, setLeadingGame, setPollActive, pollActiveRef, setPollResult, setPollEndingAt, setShowEndPollOptions, pollStartedAtRef, setSelectedGame, setGameSource, setStickerMode, stickerSendRef }) {
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Populate stickerSendRef after WS authentication**
In the `connectWs` function, inside the `if (message.type === 'auth_success')` block (around line 1385), after the ping interval setup and before the `return;`, add the ref assignment:
```jsx
if (message.type === 'auth_success') {
console.log('[WebSocket] Authenticated, subscribing to session', sessionId);
ws.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'subscribe', sessionId: parseInt(sessionId) }));
clearInterval(pingIntervalRef.current);
pingIntervalRef.current = setInterval(() => {
if (ws.readyState === WebSocket.OPEN) {
ws.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'ping' }));
}
}, 30000);
stickerSendRef.current = (mode) => {
if (ws.readyState === WebSocket.OPEN) {
ws.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'stickers.setMode', data: { mode } }));
}
};
return;
}
```
- [ ] **Step 5: Handle inbound stickers.mode WS events**
In the `ws.onmessage` handler, after the `game.dismissed` block (around line 1468) and before the `reloadEvents.includes` check, add:
```jsx
if (message.type === 'stickers.mode') {
setStickerMode(message.mode);
return;
}
```
- [ ] **Step 6: Clear stickerSendRef on WS disconnect**
In the `ws.onclose` handler (around line 1487), add the ref cleanup alongside the existing cleanup:
```jsx
ws.onclose = () => {
console.log('[WebSocket] Disconnected, reconnecting in 3s...');
clearInterval(pingIntervalRef.current);
stickerSendRef.current = null;
reconnectTimeoutRef.current = setTimeout(connectWs, 3000);
};
```
- [ ] **Step 7: Update connectWs dependency array**
Update the `useCallback` dependency array for `connectWs` (line 1498) to include the new dependencies:
```jsx
}, [sessionId, token, loadGames, setPollActive, setPollResult, setPollEndingAt, setShowEndPollOptions, setLeadingGame, pollActiveRef, pollStartedAtRef, setSelectedGame, setGameSource, setStickerMode, stickerSendRef]);
```
- [ ] **Step 8: Verify no lint errors**
Run linter on `frontend/src/pages/Picker.jsx` and fix any issues introduced.
- [ ] **Step 9: Commit**
```bash
git add frontend/src/pages/Picker.jsx
git commit -m "feat: wire sticker mode state and WebSocket plumbing"
```

### Task 2: Render the sticker toggle UI with pulse animation
**Files:**
- Modify: `frontend/src/pages/Picker.jsx:34-35` (add stickerPulse state, near other Picker state)
- Modify: `frontend/src/pages/Picker.jsx:868-875` (insert toggle card above poll leader indicator in right column)
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes:
- `stickerMode` state (`'auto' | 'show' | 'hide'`) from Task 1
- `stickerSendRef` ref from Task 1
- `setStickerMode` setter from Task 1
- Produces: Rendered sticker toggle card in Picker's right column
- [ ] **Step 1: Add stickerPulse state for auto-reset animation**
In `frontend/src/pages/Picker.jsx`, right after the `stickerSendRef` line added in Task 1 (after `const stickerSendRef = useRef(null);`), add:
```jsx
const [stickerPulse, setStickerPulse] = useState(false);
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Add pulse trigger logic**
After the `stickerPulse` state declaration, add a `useEffect` that watches `stickerMode` for auto-reset events:
```jsx
const prevStickerModeRef = useRef(stickerMode);
useEffect(() => {
if (stickerMode === 'auto' && prevStickerModeRef.current !== 'auto') {
setStickerPulse(true);
const timer = setTimeout(() => setStickerPulse(false), 2000);
return () => clearTimeout(timer);
}
prevStickerModeRef.current = stickerMode;
}, [stickerMode]);
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Render the sticker toggle card**
In the right column's `{/* Results Panel */}` div, after the error display and **before** the `{/* Poll Leader Indicator */}` comment (line 875), insert the sticker toggle card:
```jsx
{/* Sticker Visibility Toggle */}
Stickers
{[
{ value: 'auto', label: 'Auto', activeClass: 'bg-gray-500 text-white' },
{ value: 'show', label: 'Show', activeClass: 'bg-green-500 text-white' },
{ value: 'hide', label: 'Hide', activeClass: 'bg-red-500 text-white' },
].map((opt, i) => (
{
setStickerMode(opt.value);
stickerSendRef.current?.(opt.value);
}}
disabled={!stickerSendRef.current}
className={`px-3 py-1.5 text-xs font-medium transition ${
i === 1 ? 'border-x border-gray-300 dark:border-gray-600 ' : ''
}${
stickerMode === opt.value
? opt.activeClass
: 'bg-white dark:bg-gray-700 text-gray-700 dark:text-gray-300'
}${
!stickerSendRef.current ? ' opacity-50 cursor-not-allowed' : ''
}`}
>
{opt.label}
))}
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Verify no lint errors**
Run linter on `frontend/src/pages/Picker.jsx` and fix any issues introduced.
- [ ] **Step 5: Manual smoke test**
Start the dev server and verify:
1. The sticker toggle card appears above the poll leader / poll control cards in the right column
2. All three segments (Auto/Show/Hide) are clickable and highlight correctly
3. Auto shows gray, Show shows green, Hide shows red when active
4. Inactive segments show the muted/white style
5. The card is compact and single-row on desktop
Run: `cd frontend && npm run dev`
Open the Picker page in a browser while logged in with an active session. Click each segment and confirm visual feedback.
- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
```bash
git add frontend/src/pages/Picker.jsx
git commit -m "feat: add sticker visibility toggle UI with pulse animation"
```
