# Dispatcher & Agent Features - Backend Compatibility Document

## Overview

This document details the MVP operational features implemented for DISPATCHER, LEAD_AGENT, and FIELD_AGENT roles, with a focus on **backward compatibility** with existing frontend and mobile clients.

**Key Principle:** All changes are **additive** or **backward-compatible**. No existing endpoints were removed or had breaking changes to response structures.

**Status:** ✅ **FRONTEND ALIGNED** - All frontend API calls verified and aligned with backend endpoints.

## Frontend-Backend Alignment Verification

### ✅ Endpoint Mapping Verified

| Frontend Method | Backend Endpoint | Status | Notes |
|----------------|-----------------|--------|-------|
| `assignIncident()` | `POST /api/v1/incidents/{id}/assign` | ✅ Aligned | Body: `assignable_type`, `assignable_id`, `notes` |
| `unassignIncident()` | `POST /api/v1/incidents/{id}/unassign` | ✅ Aligned | Body: `note` (optional) |
| `changeIncidentStatus()` | `POST /api/v1/incidents/{id}/status` | ✅ Aligned | Body: `status`, `notes` |
| `addTimelineEvent()` | `POST /api/v1/incidents/{id}/timeline` | ✅ Aligned | Body: `event_type`, `notes`, `visibility` |
| `uploadIncidentMedia()` | `POST /api/v1/incidents/{id}/media` | ✅ Aligned | FormData: `media[]`, `visibility`, `caption` |
| `getIncidents()` | `GET /api/v1/incidents` | ✅ Aligned | Query params: `unassigned`, `mine`, `team`, `search`, `sort`, `status[]` |
| `getIncidentTimeline()` | `GET /api/v1/incidents/{id}/timeline` | ✅ Aligned | Returns `event_type`, `visibility`, `metadata` |
| `getUsers()` | `GET /api/v1/users` | ✅ Aligned | Query params: `role`, `team_id` |

### ✅ Request/Response Alignment

#### Assignment
- **Frontend sends:** `{ assignable_type: 'user'|'team', assignable_id: string, notes?: string }`
- **Backend expects:** `{ assignable_type: 'user'|'team', assignable_id: int, notes?: string }`
- **Status:** ✅ Aligned

#### Unassignment
- **Frontend sends:** `{ note?: string }`
- **Backend expects:** `{ note?: string }` (validated as `note` in request)
- **Status:** ✅ Aligned (backend accepts `note` field)

#### Status Update
- **Frontend sends:** `{ status: string, notes?: string }`
- **Backend expects:** `{ status: string, notes?: string }`
- **Status:** ✅ Aligned

#### Timeline Event
- **Frontend sends:** `{ event_type: 'INTERNAL_NOTE'|'REQUEST_INFO', notes: string, visibility?: 'PUBLIC_TO_CITIZEN'|'INTERNAL_ONLY' }`
- **Backend expects:** `{ event_type: 'INTERNAL_NOTE'|'REQUEST_INFO', notes: string, visibility?: 'PUBLIC_TO_CITIZEN'|'INTERNAL_ONLY' }`
- **Status:** ✅ Aligned

#### Media Upload
- **Frontend sends:** FormData with `media[]`, `visibility`, `caption`
- **Backend expects:** FormData with `media[]`, `visibility`, `caption`
- **Status:** ✅ Aligned (fixed: frontend now uses `media[]` instead of `files[]`)

#### Incident List Filters
- **Frontend sends:** `status[]`, `unassigned`, `mine`, `team`, `search`, `sort`
- **Backend expects:** `status` (array or comma-separated), `unassigned`, `mine`, `team`, `search`, `sort`
- **Status:** ✅ Aligned (backend accepts both array and comma-separated status values)

---

## Tenant Isolation Verification

### ✅ Server-Side Enforcement

**All endpoints enforce tenant isolation:**

1. **GET /api/v1/incidents**
   - ✅ Controller filters by `organization_id` from authenticated user
   - ✅ Query param `organization_id` only works for SUPER_ADMIN
   - ✅ Role-based filtering applied after tenant isolation
   - ✅ **Cannot bypass:** Even if `organization_id` is sent, non-super-admin users are filtered to their org

2. **POST /api/v1/incidents/{id}/assign**
   - ✅ Policy checks `incident->organization_id === user->organization_id`
   - ✅ **Cannot bypass:** Assignment fails if incident belongs to different org

3. **POST /api/v1/incidents/{id}/unassign**
   - ✅ Policy checks `incident->organization_id === user->organization_id`
   - ✅ **Cannot bypass:** Unassignment fails if incident belongs to different org

4. **POST /api/v1/incidents/{id}/status**
   - ✅ Policy checks `incident->organization_id === user->organization_id`
   - ✅ **Cannot bypass:** Status update fails if incident belongs to different org

5. **POST /api/v1/incidents/{id}/timeline**
   - ✅ Policy checks `incident->organization_id === user->organization_id`
   - ✅ **Cannot bypass:** Timeline event creation fails if incident belongs to different org

6. **POST /api/v1/incidents/{id}/media**
   - ✅ Policy checks `incident->organization_id === user->organization_id`
   - ✅ **Cannot bypass:** Media upload fails if incident belongs to different org

7. **GET /api/v1/incidents/{id}**
   - ✅ Policy checks `incident->organization_id === user->organization_id` (for org users)
   - ✅ **Cannot bypass:** View fails if incident belongs to different org

### ✅ Frontend Tenant Handling

- ✅ Frontend sends `organization_id` only for SUPER_ADMIN users
- ✅ Frontend does NOT send `organization_id` in request bodies (only query params)
- ✅ All incident operations use incident ID only (tenant checked server-side)
- ✅ **Cannot bypass:** Frontend cannot override tenant isolation via query params or payload

---

## Role Scope Verification

### ✅ DISPATCHER Scope

**Backend Implementation:**
```php
// In IncidentController::index()
if ($user->isDispatcher() || $user->isOrgAdmin()) {
    // No additional filter - sees all incidents in org
}
```

**Frontend Implementation:**
- ✅ No automatic filtering applied
- ✅ Can use all filters: `unassigned`, `mine`, `team`, `search`
- ✅ Can view all incidents in organization

**Verification:**
- ✅ Backend returns all org incidents
- ✅ Frontend displays all org incidents
- ✅ **Status:** Aligned

### ✅ LEAD_AGENT Scope

**Backend Implementation:**
```php
// In IncidentController::index()
if ($user->isLeadAgent()) {
    $teamIds = $user->teams()->pluck('teams.id');
    $query->where(function ($q) use ($user, $teamIds) {
        $q->where(function ($q2) use ($user) {
            $q2->where('assigned_to_type', 'user')
               ->where('assigned_to_id', $user->id);
        })->orWhere(function ($q2) use ($teamIds) {
            $q2->where('assigned_to_type', 'team')
               ->whereIn('assigned_to_id', $teamIds);
        });
    });
}
```

**Frontend Implementation:**
- ✅ Backend automatically filters to team + own incidents
- ✅ Frontend can use `mine` and `team` filters for further refinement
- ✅ Frontend shows "My Team" filter button when `teamId` is available

**Verification:**
- ✅ Backend returns only team + own incidents
- ✅ Frontend displays only team + own incidents
- ✅ **Status:** Aligned

### ✅ FIELD_AGENT Scope

**Backend Implementation:**
```php
// In IncidentController::index()
if ($user->isFieldAgent()) {
    $query->where(function ($q) use ($user) {
        $q->where(function ($q2) use ($user) {
            $q2->where('assigned_to_type', 'user')
               ->where('assigned_to_id', $user->id);
        });
    });
}
```

**Frontend Implementation:**
- ✅ Backend automatically filters to own assigned incidents
- ✅ Frontend can use `mine` filter (redundant but harmless)
- ✅ Frontend shows "My Incidents" filter button

**Verification:**
- ✅ Backend returns only own assigned incidents
- ✅ Frontend displays only own assigned incidents
- ✅ **Status:** Aligned

---

## UI Preservation Verification

### ✅ No Visual Changes

**Verified:**
- ✅ All new modals use existing modal pattern (`motion.div` with backdrop)
- ✅ All buttons use existing classes (`btn-outline`, `btn-primary`)
- ✅ All inputs use existing classes (`input-field`)
- ✅ Same spacing system (`p-6`, `mb-6`, `gap-4`)
- ✅ Same color system (`bg-card`, `border-border`, `text-muted-foreground`)
- ✅ No component library changes (still using shadcn/ui)
- ✅ No theme changes
- ✅ No layout refactoring

**New UI Elements (Additive Only):**
- ✅ Quick filter buttons (same style as existing filters)
- ✅ Internal note indicator in timeline (orange badge, additive)
- ✅ New modals (same pattern as existing modals)

**Status:** ✅ UI unchanged - only extensions added

### Frontend API Client Summary

**New Methods:**
- `unassignIncident(incidentId, notes?)` - Calls `POST /api/v1/incidents/{id}/unassign`
- `addTimelineEvent(incidentId, eventType, notes, visibility)` - Calls `POST /api/v1/incidents/{id}/timeline`
- `uploadIncidentMedia(incidentId, files, visibility, caption?)` - Calls `POST /api/v1/incidents/{id}/media`

**Enhanced Methods:**

- `getUsers(tenantId, filters)` - Supports new filters: `role`, `team_id`
- `getIncidentTimeline(incidentId)` - Handles new fields: `event_type`, `visibility`, `metadata`

### Security Notes

**Tenant Isolation:**

- ✅ Frontend cannot bypass via query params or payload
- ✅ Policies check `organization_id` match for all operations

**Role Permissions:**
- ✅ All permissions enforced via Laravel Policies
- ✅ Frontend UI hides/disabled actions based on role (UX only)
- ✅ Backend always validates permissions (security)

**Data Validation:**
