Context
The current API behavior is functionally correct but has ambiguities that cause client confusion: WebSocket handshake messaging differs from inline docs, 409 conflict responses are inconsistent for clients, and workload heatmap defaults vary based on calendar edge cases (Sunday).
Goals / Non-Goals
- Goals:
- Make WebSocket auth expectations explicit and consistent.
- Provide a stable, machine-readable conflict response for optimistic locking.
- Define predictable workload heatmap defaults and edge-case handling.
- Non-Goals:
- Full API version migration (/api to /api/v1).
- Redesign of workload UI or heatmap visualization.
Decisions
- WebSocket auth handshake: keep first-message authentication; do not require a pre-auth banner. Add explicit invalid-token error message prior to close.
- Optimistic locking: return a standardized 409 payload containing a human-readable message plus current/provided version fields.
- Workload defaults: show all accessible users by default (including zero workload); support
hide_empty=trueto exclude them. Whenweek_startis omitted and today is Sunday, extend the default week window to include the upcoming week to avoid empty default views. - Caching: include
hide_emptyin cache key and cache the default path to keep latency stable.
Risks / Trade-offs
- Returning more users by default may increase response sizes; cache should offset this.
- Sunday window extension changes semantics of "current week"; clients must understand the rule.
- Conflict payload change may require frontend updates if it expects a string-only detail.
Migration Plan
- Update specs first, then implement backend changes.
- Update frontend only if new defaults or conflict payloads require parsing changes.
- Add regression tests for WebSocket auth invalid token, conflict payload shape, and heatmap defaults.
Open Questions
- Should we add an explicit
auth_requiredmessage before waiting for the auth payload (client UX improvement), or keep the minimal handshake?
