Inventory unpersisted state

Find everything the app forgets - the full list, not samples.

First time here? Paste the Context Pack first so the AI understands your project - open it from the header above.

Prompt Capsule

Audit the app and produce a table of every piece of state that should persist but currently does not: the data (e.g. tasks, profile edits, settings), where it lives now (useState/localStorage/nowhere), what user action creates or changes it, and whether refresh loses it. Test by performing each action then refreshing. Mark each row KEEP-LOCAL (genuinely UI-only) or PERSIST.

Paste into EmergentFull Build: complete implementation prompt with explicit requirements

Quick is short. Full Build is recommended for most steps. Strict forces real logic when the AI keeps faking output.

Actual change check

Expected after this step

A verified inventory of state with PERSIST/KEEP-LOCAL decisions.

Should NOT happen

An existing feature broke
A button only logs to console
Data disappears after refresh
Errors fail silently with no visible state

This is what should exist before you continue. If reality does not match, do not move on.

Your notes for this step

Track what changed, failed, or needs follow-up. Notes export with the flow.

Pass the Verify Gate to complete this step

Verify before continuing

Do not move on until every check is true. The complete button stays locked until then.

Each row was refresh-testedEvery user-created data type appearsPERSIST rows cover all important data

Do not continue if…

! Todo/items arrays living only in useState
! Saves that update state but never call an API
! Reads that never fetch, showing stale hardcoded data
! Missing loading states causing flash-of-empty bugs

If the AI messes this up

Use this when:

- it only made visual forms or placeholder UI
- buttons do nothing or only log to console
- data is not persisted - state disappears on refresh
- something that worked before is now broken

Use this when the AI fakes progress or breaks the feature. It forces a real fix.

The inventory is partial. Walk every screen, perform every create/edit action, refresh, and add every piece of lost data to the table.
