Evidence from #740

The merged manual browser profiler #40274409331 passed all three isolated measured Chromium runs for each of the two offline Person scenarios. Whole-test medians: Create 15.188s, Edit 13.308s. Role-link intervals: Create 8.108s / Edit 7.824s, dominated by Work navigation (3.238s / 3.336s) and Link-modal opening (4.423s / 3.254s). Role save + durable queue confirmation was only ~0.048s. Exact causality within link_modal was not instrumented.

One narrow, testable cause

In frontend/js/ui.js, prepareRoleModal() previously awaited prksOfflinePeopleFetch() before initiating prksOfflineWorksBrowseFetch(). These are independent, separately validated offline-capable catalog reads. When transport falls back offline, serialized waits can lengthen Link-modal readiness. Start both independent reads with Promise.all, then keep the existing fallback to fetchPersons / fetchWorks, People overlays, Work/Person preselection, search, credit picker, modal generation fence and error handling unchanged. No global retry/connectivity policy, cache-coherence or authorization change; no removal of UI assertions. This is a targeted optimization hypothesis, not a proven measured speedup yet.

Extend the existing browser-free Node work-role-editor UI harness, which already loads the real ui.js, to assert that both catalog requests start immediately and the projected Work/People selections remain intact. Keep its existing owner/epoch regression checks. No new dynamic-code-execution test, new workflow, or default CI cost.

Validation and release gate

Require exact-head unit/API, full E2E, static/CodeQL and review checks to pass before merge; leave unmerged pending maintainer approval. Run the existing input-free manual e2e-offline-person-profile.yml on this PR branch after green CI and compare stage medians against baseline (4.423s create / 3.254s edit for link_modal, 15.188s / 13.308s whole). Do not infer a universal speedup from separate runner results. Work navigation remains a second, independently measured bottleneck; do not add speculative fixes to this PR. Refs #740.

SonarCloud follow-up

The initial independent Node test dynamically evaluated an extracted function, causing SonarCloud's new-code security finding (unsafe dynamic code execution). Removed that test file and moved the concurrency assertion into PRKS's existing Node UI harness, which already loads ui.js; no new dynamic evaluation was added. Updated head 2c72b63; exact-head quality gates and E2E are rerunning. Do not merge if SonarCloud or required CI remains red.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Improvements
  • The role editor now loads People and Work options at the same time, which can reduce the wait before the editor is ready.
  • If catalog data is unavailable, the editor continues to use its existing fallback loading behavior.
  • Existing selection behavior is preserved, including preselecting a Person when opening a Person route.

prksFocusedEntity in the harness always returns { id: 'W1', ... }, so prepareRoleModal sets workHidden.value = 'W1' on the person route while the test asserts ''; the Node selftest throws and the new Python test fails.

Fix: Make prksFocusedEntity return null when config.personRoute (the person route has no focused Work), or assert 'W1', so the mock matches the behavior the test claims to check.

🪧 More tips

• Run npx skills add coldteadotai/pr-lens, then tell your coding agent: "Diagram the change you just made with PR Lens and attach it to the pull request."
• Run npx @coldtea/pr-lens-cli analyze --base origin/main on a branch, then npx @coldtea/pr-lens-cli render .pr-lens/graph.json. Same lenses, your own model key, before the pull request exists
• Click the link under each diagram to open it on a canvas you can zoom, pan and step through
• The diagrams are links. Click one to open it on the canvas, then press W or click play to walk through the change
• Open a diagram on the canvas, then press W or click play to walk through the change one step at a time
• The CLI's render reads .github/pr-lens.yml and applies your renames, exclusions and lane pins at draw time
• Set github.draw: on-demand in .github/pr-lens.yml and PR Lens stops drawing pull requests on its own. Comment @pr-lens draw on a pull request when you want that one drawn
• Add .github/workflows/pr-lens.yml with coldteadotai/pr-lens/packages/action@v0 and your model provider's key as its api-key to run PR Lens from your own CI. Any /chat/completions endpoint works

Walkthrough

The role modal now starts People and Work catalog reads concurrently. Browser self-tests verify that both reads start before either resolves, that the initializer waits for both, and that fallback and route-based selection behavior remains covered.

Changes: Role modal catalog loading

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Concurrent catalog loading and validation frontend/js/ui.js, tests/browser/run_work_role_editor_selftest.js	prepareRoleModal starts the People and Work catalog reads together and retains each catalog’s fallback. Browser tests check completion, projected selections, fallback fetches, focused Work selection, and Person-route selection.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description provides a detailed summary, motivation, scope boundaries, validation plan, related issue reference, risks, and merge requirements. It does not use the template headings consistently and omits the checklist, but the required information is mostly present and the description is directly relevant.

Full details: Prks Engineering Invariants

Explanation

PASS. The PR changes only prepareRoleModal request timing and keeps the existing People/Work projections, fallbacks, preselection, and modal generation handling. The applicable frontend/AGENTS.md rules require the legacy runtime ownership, the single People offline helper, and preserved role-modal ownership/lifecycle checks; the diff satisfies these rules. The added harness uses the existing safe loader and does not execute user query text or add a new dynamic-execution path. No conflicting requirement appears in AGENTS.md, README.md, or SECURITY.md.

Full details: Ui Design Contract

Explanation

The change only schedules the existing People and Work catalog reads concurrently. It does not add or alter modal markup, controls, styles, focus behavior, Escape handling, or selection patterns. openModal('role-modal') still keeps the modal inert until prepareRoleModal() completes, and the initializer retains the existing comboboxes, preselection, fallbacks, and modal lifecycle. This is consistent with DESIGN.md’s shared dialog and combobox contracts (lines 888–894 and 912). The added harness also verifies catalog fallbacks and Person/Work preselection.

Full details: Offline And Sync Coherence

Explanation

PASS. The PR changes only the scheduling of two existing disposable read-throughs in prepareRoleModal() (frontend/js/ui.js:1904-1918). It does not change durable operations, cache keys, service-worker behavior, projection overlays, or sync acknowledgement rules. The existing People helper still uses the single people:index projection, and the runtime still applies its cache/unavailable and reconnect generation checks. The existing per-catalog network fallbacks remain unchanged. Regression coverage checks concurrent starts, waiting for both results, unavailable-catalog fallbacks, focused Work fallback, Person preselection, and no fallback for valid projections (tests/browser/run_work_role_editor_selftest.js:98-187). Existing offline role E2E coverage warms the caches, exercises the modal while offline, and verifies reconnect synchronization (tests/e2e/test_work_people_offline.py:61-74, 188-240). This remains coherent with the current rollout and local-first invariants.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 2 functions across 3 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
