+# Break It Down (BIT)
+
+# SYSTEM SPECIFICATION
+
+## Version: v0.2.0
+
+## Feature Theme: Campaign Mode + Entropy Engine + Project Wizard
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+# 1. Overview
+
+v0.2.0 introduces **Campaign Mode**, an operations layer on top of
+Break-It-Down's planning engine.
+
+BIT remains the HQ planning system (tree + kanban). Campaign Mode is the
+execution layer focused on:
+
+-   Low-friction session starts
+-   Visual progress (photo proof)
+-   Entropy-based decay for recurring physical spaces
+-   Gentle nudges to trigger action
+-   A fast project-building Wizard
+
+The goal is to reduce startup friction and help users act without
+overthinking.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+# 2. Core Architectural Principles
+
+1.  Existing planning functionality must remain unchanged for standard
+    projects.
+2.  Campaign functionality activates only when
+    `project_mode == "entropy_space"`.
+3.  Planning (HQ) and Execution (Campaign) are separate UI routes.
+4.  Session start must require no pre-forms.
+5.  Entropy simulation must feel like physics, not guilt.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+# 3. New Core Concepts
+
+## 3.1 Project Modes
+
+Add enum to projects:
+
+-   `standard` (default, existing behavior)
+-   `entropy_space` (physical space / territory model)
+
+Future modes may include: - `pipeline_chores` - `deep_work`
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+## 3.2 Campaign Types
+
+Only meaningful when `project_mode == "entropy_space"`:
+
+-   `finite` --- one-off liberation (garage purge)
+-   `background` --- ongoing maintenance (bathroom, kitchen)
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+## 3.3 Zones (v1 Implementation)
+
+In `entropy_space` projects:
+
+-   Top-level tasks (`parent_task_id IS NULL`)
+-   `is_zone = true`
+
+No separate zones table in v0.2.0.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+## 3.4 Work Sessions
+
+Generic sessions stored in backend. Campaign UI refers to them as
+"Strikes".
+
+Session kinds:
+
+-   `strike`
+-   `pomodoro` (future)
+-   `run` (future)
+-   `freeform`
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+# 4. Database Schema Changes

+
+# 5. Entropy Engine (v1)
+
+## 5.1 Stability Model
+
+Fields used: - stability_base - last_stability_update_at -
+decay_rate_per_day
+
+Derived:
+
+    days_elapsed = (now - last_stability_update_at)
+    stability_now = max(0, stability_base - decay_rate_per_day * days_elapsed)
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+## 5.2 Strike Effect
+
+On strike completion:

+Option A (fixed):
+
+    boost = 20
+
+Option B (duration-based):
+
+    boost = clamp(10, 35, round(duration_minutes * 1.5))
+
+Update:
+
+    stability_base = min(100, stability_now + boost)
+    last_stability_update_at = now
+    last_strike_at = now
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+## 5.3 Stability Color Mapping
+
+-   80--100 → green
+-   55--79 → yellow
+-   30--54 → orange
+-   0--29 → red

+Break It Down (BIT) — Campaign Mode + Entropy + Wizard Build Spec
+0) Product idea in one sentence
+
+BIT is the planning HQ (deep task decomposition). You can “Launch Campaign” on a project to switch into a low-friction operations mode that nudges you, runs timeboxed sessions, captures before/after photos, and visualizes “entropy” creeping back into recurring home zones via a strategy-game-style stability map.
+
+1) Non-negotiable design principles
+
+“Start a session” must be 1 tap from Campaign view. No forms before action.
+
+Entropy features only apply to projects in entropy_space mode; standard projects remain unchanged.
+
+Planning (Tree/Kanban) and Doing (Campaign) are separate routes and separate UI skins.
+
+Wizard must generate “good enough” structure in <30 seconds and optionally auto-start the first session.
+
+2) Core Concepts & Modes
+2.1 Project Modes (enum)
+
+standard: current BIT behavior (Tree + Kanban).
+
+entropy_space: physical-space / recurring maintenance / territory reclaiming.
+
+(future) pipeline_chores: chores with stages/recurrence (laundry/dishes).
+
+(future) deep_work: focus sessions (pomodoro defaults).
+
+2.2 Campaign Types (enum)
+
+finite: one-off liberation (garage purge). Optional/slow entropy decay.
+
+background: ongoing maintenance (bathroom/kitchen). Entropy decay enabled.
+
+2.3 Zone (v1 implementation)
+
+In entropy_space projects, a Zone is a top-level task (parent_task_id IS NULL).
+
+2.4 Session (generic), with “Strike” as a label
+
+Backend stores generic sessions. Campaign UI calls them “strikes” for entropy projects.
+
+Session kinds (enum):
+
+strike (entropy_space)
+
+pomodoro (future deep_work)
+
+run (future pipeline chores)
+
+freeform (optional)
+
+3) User Flows
+3.1 HQ Planning Flow (existing, with additions)
+
+Create project (standard or via Wizard).
+
+In entropy projects, create top-level “zones” + subtasks.
+
+Hit Launch Campaign button → opens Campaign route.
+
+3.2 Campaign Operations Flow (new)
+
+Campaign view shows only:
+
+Zone cards (stability color + bar + last worked)
+
+Recommended micro-missions
+
+Big Start Strike button per zone
+
+Flow:
+
+Tap “Start Strike” on a Zone (1 tap)
+
+Timer begins immediately (default length buttons: 8 / 12 / 25 min)
+
+Optional prompt: “Snap BEFORE?” (default enabled for entropy_space)
+
+End Strike → prompt “Snap AFTER”
+
+Immediately show Before/After compare slider (dopamine)
+
+Save: session record + optional quick note
+
+Zone stability increases; decay continues over time
+
+3.3 Wizard Flow (new)
+
+Goal: generate project + zones + micro-missions + defaults quickly.
+
+Wizard inputs:
+
+Area template (Garage / Bathroom / Kitchen / Whole House / Office)
+
+Campaign type (Finite vs Background)
+
+Intensity (Light / Normal / Disaster)
+
+Nudge window (e.g. 9am–9pm) + max nudges/day
+
+Default strike buttons (8/12/25 or 10/20/30)
+
+Wizard outputs:
+
+Project with project_mode=entropy_space
+
+Top-level zone tasks
+
+Subtasks (micro-missions)
+
+Decay defaults per zone (background campaigns)
+
+Option: auto-launch campaign and auto-start first strike
+
+4) Data Model Changes (SQLite + SQLAlchemy)
+4.1 projects table additions
+
+project_mode TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'standard'
+
+campaign_type TEXT NULL (only meaningful if project_mode=entropy_space)
+
+campaign_active BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT 0
+
+nudge_enabled BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT 0
+
+nudge_window_start TEXT NULL (HH:MM)
+
+nudge_window_end TEXT NULL
+
+nudge_min_interval_minutes INTEGER NULL
+
+nudge_max_per_day INTEGER NULL
+
+photo_proof_enabled BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT 0
+
+default_session_kind TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'freeform'
+
+default_session_minutes INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 12
+
+Notes:
+
+Keep these nullable/ignored for standard projects.
+
+Don’t add auth/user tables yet unless you already have them.
+
+4.2 tasks table additions (only used for entropy zones in v1)
+
+stability_base INTEGER NULL (stored “as of last_update”; 0–100)
+
+decay_rate_per_day REAL NULL
+
+last_stability_update_at DATETIME NULL
+
+last_strike_at DATETIME NULL
+
+is_zone BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 (set true for top-level zone tasks in entropy projects; keeps logic explicit)
+
+(optional) zone_preset TEXT NULL (bathroom/kitchen/garage for defaults)
+
+4.3 New table: work_sessions
+
+id PK
+
+project_id FK
+
+task_id FK NULL (zone task)
+
+kind TEXT NOT NULL
+
+started_at DATETIME NOT NULL
+
+ended_at DATETIME NULL
+
+duration_seconds INTEGER NULL (set on stop)
+
+note TEXT NULL
+
+4.4 New table: session_photos
+
+id PK
+
+session_id FK
+
+phase TEXT NOT NULL (‘before’, ‘after’)
+
+path TEXT NOT NULL
+
+taken_at DATETIME NOT NULL
+
+(optional) width, height, hash
+
+4.5 Storage for images
+
+Store files on disk in a Docker volume: /data/photos/...
+
+DB stores only paths/keys
+
+Provide /api/media/... endpoint to serve images (or configure nginx static)
+
+5) Entropy / Stability Logic (v1)
+5.1 Stability computation approach
+
+Zones track stability via a base value plus decay since last update.
+
+Fields used:
+
+stability_base
+
+last_stability_update_at
+
+decay_rate_per_day
+
+Derived:
+
+stability_now = max(0, stability_base - decay_rate_per_day * days_elapsed)
+
+On “strike completed”:
+
+compute stability_now
+
+apply boost: stability_base = min(100, stability_now + boost)
+
+set last_stability_update_at = now
+
+set last_strike_at = now
+
+Boost rule (v1 simple):
+
+boost = 20 for any completed strike
+OR
+
+boost = clamp(10, 35, round(duration_minutes * 1.5))
+
+Pick one (fixed boost is easiest to reason about).
+
+5.2 Color mapping (no raw numbers by default)
+
+80–100: green
+
+55–79: yellow
+
+30–54: orange
+
+0–29: red
+
+5.3 Nudges (v1 simple scheduler)
+
+A background job runs every X minutes (or on app open for v0):
+
+For each entropy_space project with nudge_enabled:
+
+for each zone:
+
+compute stability_now
+
+if stability_now <= threshold AND not nudged too recently AND within time window:
+
+create “nudge event” (v0: show in UI inbox; v1: web push/email)
+
+Start with in-app “Nudge Inbox” so you don’t need push infra immediately.
+
+6) API Spec (FastAPI)

+Maintain wizard output contract (same JSON schema)
+
+10) Codex Work Instructions (copy/paste to Codex)
+Prompt 1 — Backend schema + models
+
+“Implement Phase 0 backend changes for Break-It-Down:
+
+Add fields to projects and tasks as specified (project_mode, campaign fields; zone stability fields).
+
+Add new tables work_sessions and session_photos.
+
+Update SQLAlchemy models and Pydantic schemas.
+
+Add endpoints: /api/projects/{id}/zones, /api/sessions/start, /api/sessions/{id}/stop.
+
+Implement stability calculation and strike boost on stop.
+
+Ensure existing endpoints still work for standard projects.
+
+Provide migration approach for SQLite (simple ‘ALTER TABLE’ + create tables).”
+
+Prompt 2 — Campaign frontend (Phase 0)
+
+“Implement Campaign view route /projects/:id/campaign:
+
+Fetch zones via /api/projects/{id}/zones
+
+Render ZoneCards with stability bar color mapping.
+
+Add Start Strike flow (start session, timer UI, stop session).
+
+Ensure 1-tap Start Strike from ZoneCard starts session immediately.
+
+Keep HQ view unchanged.”
+
+Prompt 3 — Photos + compare (Phase 1)
+
+“Add session photo upload and compare slider:
+
+Backend: /api/sessions/{id}/photos multipart upload; store files under /data/photos with unique paths; return URLs.
+
+Frontend: After stopping strike, prompt for after photo; show before/after compare slider.
+
+Add optional before photo prompt at strike start.
+
+Make it mobile-friendly (use capture attribute).”
+
+Prompt 4 — Wizard (Phase 1–2)
+
+“Add New Project Wizard:
+
+Use local JSON templates to generate project + zones + subtasks.
+
+Implement backend endpoint /api/wizard/build_project that creates project and tasks from template.
+
+Wizard should optionally auto-launch campaign and auto-start first strike.”
+
+Prompt 5 — Nudges (Phase 2)
+
+“Implement in-app Nudges:
+
+Backend job that evaluates stability and writes nudge events to DB.
+
+Frontend Nudge Inbox list and click-through to zone.
+
+Respect per-project windows, min interval, max/day.”
