Overview

SPIKE-011 implemented a deployable static dashboard UI prototype for Data Hub, derived from SPIKE-010 UX definitions. The spike includes a Glance page with Readiness hero, Today's Plan card, and Plan vs Actual strip, plus five domain page stubs and shared styling and mock data assets.

The objective was to create a fast review path for product and UX validation without backend integration. The team produced scope criteria, design token guidance, wireframe mapping, UI implementation, QA checklist, and smoke test coverage to validate baseline completeness.

Key Decisions

Ship as a static prototype first to reduce dependency risk and accelerate stakeholder review.
Use mock data shaped to future API contracts so UI structure can survive backend integration later.
Constrain scope to Glance plus five domain stubs for horizontal coverage rather than deep feature completion.
Use a single shared stylesheet and token model to keep visual consistency across all pages.
Include a scripted file presence smoke test as a lightweight release gate for spike completeness.

Technical Notes

Deployable review path: Open UI Spike Dashboard (ui/index.html)

Implemented pages: ui/index.html, ui/training.html, ui/recovery.html, ui/body.html, ui/nutrition.html, ui/timeline.html.

Shared assets: ui/assets/style.css, ui/assets/mock-data.js.

Smoke command:

bash scripts/smoke-ui-dashboard.sh
RESULT: PASS (2026-02-22)

Outcomes

The UI spike achieved full baseline scope coverage with all required files present and linked. The Glance page includes the required readiness, planning, and four-chart plan-vs-actual surfaces, and navigation routes to all five domain stubs.

Scripted smoke checks passed for all 8 required UI assets on 2026-02-22. This provides a deployable artifact for review while keeping technical risk low before API integration.

Open Issues

No live API integration yet, so data behavior and edge cases remain mock-only until the next implementation phase.
Accessibility validation is currently basic and should be expanded with deeper keyboard and contrast audits before production.
Domain pages are intentionally stubs and require deeper drilldown implementation in a follow-up spike.
