Critical Issues

Issue 1: Missing Search UI on Main Page

Severity: HIGH
Location: Main page (not inventory page)
Problem:

• No visible search button on main page
• SearchModal component exists but not rendered
• Ctrl+K keyboard shortcut not implemented
• Users cannot search inventory items

Root Cause:

• SearchModal component imported but conditional render missing
• Keyboard listener not wired to main page component

Fix Plan:

1. Add search button to main page header/navbar
2. Render SearchModal on main page
3. Wire Ctrl+K listener to open/close modal
4. Test search across all item fields

Effort: 1-2 hours

Issue 2: Export Endpoint Mismatch

Severity: HIGH
Location: Admin → Export feature
Problem:

• Frontend calls: /admin/db/export (GET)
• Backend provides: /admin/inventory-snapshot (POST), /admin/audit-trail (POST)
• All export attempts return 404

Root Cause:

• Frontend and backend endpoint paths don't match
• Method types mismatch (GET vs POST)

Fix Plan (Choose One):

Option A: Create /admin/db/export endpoint (Recommended)

• Implement GET /admin/db/export in backend
• Combine snapshot + audit trail logic
• Support format parameter: ?format=csv|json|excel
• Return appropriate blob/file type

Option B: Update frontend to call existing endpoints

• Change frontend calls to /admin/inventory-snapshot and /admin/audit-trail
• Convert POST to GET or update frontend to use POST
• Handle multiple endpoint calls for combined export

Recommendation: Option A (simpler for user, cleaner API)
Effort: 1-2 hours

Next Steps

1. Fix Issue 1 (Search):

   • Add search button to main page
   • Wire SearchModal + Ctrl+K listener
   • Test search functionality

2. Fix Issue 2 (Export):

   • Implement /admin/db/export endpoint in backend
   • Support CSV, JSON, Excel formats
   • Test all export types

3. Re-test & Verify:

   • Run full UAT again after fixes
   • Confirm both issues resolved
