Slice R7 — Summary / Case-Type Rendering Simplification (Proof Slice)

Completion notes (this slice):

• Implemented on feature branch created from refactor: rep-slice-r7-summary-rendering-simplification.
• Added render-only summary primitives:
  • components/case/summary/components/SummaryCard.js
  • components/case/summary/components/SummaryRow.js
• Applied to proof subset:
  • pinswg_planningappeals78id.js
  • pinswg_planningconditionss73s79id.js
• Preserved constraints:
  • no translation/date/bilingual logic moved
  • no linked-cases extraction
  • no ordering/visibility changes
• Validation evidence:
  • npm run lint passed (warnings only)
  • npm run test:reps passed (7 passed)
  • manual APP/IP/Agent/LPA + EN/CY checks passed

---

Slice R8 — Submission / Finalisation Boundary Isolation

Completion notes (this slice):

• Implemented on feature branch created from refactor: rep-slice-r8-finalisation-boundary.
• Added helper module:
  • components/case/representation/utils/finalisationBoundary.js
• Extracted:
  • buildRepresentationUpdateBody(...)
  • buildSubmitEnrichedValues(...)
  • runFinalisationSequence(...)
• Preserved:
  • parent-owned branching logic
  • completion-side effects in representationComplete.js
  • exact sequencing of finalisation operations
• Validation evidence:
  • npm run lint passed (warnings only)
  • npm run test:reps passed (7 passed)
  • manual APP/IP/Agent/LPA + EN/CY checks passed

Slice R9 — Summary Rollout (Batch 1)

Goal: Roll out proven summary rendering primitives across remaining low-risk summary-type files.

Completion notes (this slice):

• Applied SummaryCard and SummaryRow primitives to Batch 1 summary-type files.
• Rollout executed incrementally:
  • one summary-type file per commit
  • consistent mechanical application of proven pattern
• Changes limited strictly to presentational structure:
  • replaced card shell markup with SummaryCard
  • replaced row wrapper markup with SummaryRow where safe
• Preserved across all updated files:
  • field visibility rules
  • row and card ordering
  • translation key selection
  • EN/CY branching behaviour
  • date source selection and formatting
  • linked-case logic
  • route/query behaviour
  • payloads and Redux state
• Parent summary-type files retain all business logic and conditional rendering.
• Shared components confirmed render-only.

Validation evidence:

• npm run lint completed (warnings only, no new errors)
• npm run test:reps passed (7 passed)
• Structured validation confirmed:
  • translation/bilingual logic unchanged
  • date/lookup logic unchanged
  • conditional rendering preserved
• Targeted manual spot-checks completed:
  • pinswg_sipscase.js
  • pinswg_dnsid.js
  • pinswg_electricityactid.js
  • pinswg_harbourrevisionorderid.js
• No behavioural regressions identified

Outcome:

• Summary rendering layer simplified and standardised
• Duplication reduced while preserving all behaviour
• Safer and more maintainable structure

Status: COMPLETE

Rules

• Only work on ONE slice at a time
• Do not combine slices
• One branch per slice (exception: controlled rollout batches)
• One commit per slice (or per file in rollout batch)
• Update tracker after slice completion
• Do not proceed if regression risk exists

---

Regression Checklist (Run After Each Slice)

Core Journey

• Navigate from case summary → Make representation
• Select capacity
• Select representation type
• Enter content
• Upload files (if applicable)
• View check answers
• Submit representation
• View confirmation page

---

Validation

• EN/CY parity maintained
• No navigation regressions
• No state inconsistencies
• No console errors

---

Technical

• npm run lint passes
• No new warnings/errors introduced

---

Notes

• CaseSummary is a high-risk entry point
• Eligibility logic is complex and must not drift
• Submission flow is highly sensitive
• Dual-mode entry (new vs existing representation) is a key complexity

---

Definition of Done (Per Slice)

A slice is complete when:

• behaviour is preserved
• regression checks pass
• code is cleaner and easier to understand
• change is small and safe to merge
