Progressive Browser Script Template Enhancement Implementation Plan

For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (- [ ]) syntax for tracking.

Goal: Enhance the browser_script_with_business_logic template in Rust to generate complete, runnable browser scripts with proper HTTP handling, status determination, and error handling.

Architecture: Modify src/generated_scene/generator.rs to replace the current incomplete JavaScript template with an enhanced version that includes: direct URL usage (fixing the URL construction bug), jQuery + fetch dual HTTP client support, complete status determination (blocked/error/partial/empty/ok), and enhanced entrypoint with page context validation.

Tech Stack: Rust, JavaScript (browser script), serde_json

Task 1: Fix URL Building in buildRequest()

Files:

• Modify: src/generated_scene/generator.rs:308-321 (current buildRequest function in template)

Current bug: The template uses new URL(endpoint.url, window.location.origin) which incorrectly constructs URLs based on the current page's origin instead of using the complete endpoint URL directly.

Goal: Replace the buggy URL construction with direct URL usage.

• Step 1: Write the failing test

Create a test file to verify URL construction behavior:

// Test that URL is used directly without window.location.origin
const assert = require('assert');

// Mock a complete URL in endpoint
const endpoint = { url: 'http://20.76.57.61:18080/gsllys/api/test', method: 'POST' };

// Expected: buildRequest should return the URL directly
// NOT: new URL(endpoint.url, 'http://different-origin.com')

• Step 2: Implement the fix

Replace the buildRequest function in browser_script_with_business_logic (lines 308-321 in the generated template):

Current (buggy):

function buildRequest(args, endpoint) {
  const url = new URL(endpoint.url, window.location.origin);
  const params = { ...STATIC_PARAMS, ...args };
  for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(params)) {
    if (value !== undefined && value !== null) {
      url.searchParams.set(key, String(value));
    }
  }
  return {
    url: url.toString(),
    method: endpoint.method || 'GET',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }
  };
}

Fixed:

function buildRequest(args, endpoint) {
  // Use endpoint.url directly - it's already a complete URL
  const url = endpoint.url;
  const method = endpoint.method || 'POST';
  const headers = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' };
  const body = JSON.stringify({ ...STATIC_PARAMS, ...args });
  return { url, method, headers, body };
}

Locate this in src/generated_scene/generator.rs within the browser_script_with_business_logic function (around line 308 in the format! string). Replace the entire buildRequest function definition.

• Step 3: Verify the change

Run cargo build to verify the Rust code compiles:

cargo build

Expected: Build succeeds without errors.

• Step 4: Commit

git add src/generated_scene/generator.rs
git commit -m "fix(generator): use endpoint.url directly in buildRequest to fix URL construction bug"

Task 2: Add jQuery + fetch Dual HTTP Client Support

Files:

• Modify: src/generated_scene/generator.rs:355-368 (current defaultDeps object in template)

Goal: Add jQuery $.ajax as primary HTTP client with fetch as fallback for environments without jQuery.

• Step 1: Replace defaultDeps with enhanced version

Replace the current defaultDeps object in the template with enhanced jQuery + fetch support:

Current:

const defaultDeps = {
  validatePageContext: async () => true,
  queryData: async (args) => {
    const endpoint = API_ENDPOINTS[0];
    if (!endpoint) throw new Error('No API endpoint configured');
    const request = buildRequest(args, endpoint);
    const response = await fetch(request.url, {
      method: request.method,
      headers: request.headers
    });
    if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}: ${response.statusText}`);
    return response.json();
  }
};

Enhanced:

const defaultDeps = {
  validatePageContext(args) {
    const host = (globalThis.location?.hostname || '').trim();
    const expected = (args.expected_domain || '').trim();
    if (!host) return { ok: false, reason: 'page_context_unavailable' };
    if (host !== expected) return { ok: false, reason: 'page_context_mismatch' };
    return { ok: true };
  },

  async queryData(args) {
    const endpoint = API_ENDPOINTS[0];
    if (!endpoint) throw new Error('No API endpoint configured');
    const request = buildRequest(args, endpoint);

    // Prefer jQuery (internal pages typically have it)
    if (typeof $ !== 'undefined' && typeof $.ajax === 'function') {
      return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        $.ajax({
          url: request.url,
          type: request.method,
          data: request.body,
          contentType: 'application/json',
          dataType: 'json',
          success: resolve,
          error: (xhr, status, err) => reject(new Error(
            `API failed (${xhr.status}): ${err} | body=${(xhr.responseText || '').substring(0, 200)}`
          ))
        });
      });
    }

    // Fallback: fetch API
    if (typeof fetch === 'function') {
      const response = await fetch(request.url, {
        method: request.method,
        headers: request.headers,
        body: request.method !== 'GET' ? request.body : undefined
      });
      if (!response.ok) {
        const text = await response.text().catch(() => '');
        throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}: ${text.substring(0, 200)}`);
      }
      return response.json();
    }

    throw new Error('No HTTP client available (need jQuery or fetch)');
  }
};

This code goes into the format! string in browser_script_with_business_logic function in src/generated_scene/generator.rs.

• Step 2: Verify the change

Run cargo build to verify:

cargo build

Expected: Build succeeds.

• Step 3: Commit

git add src/generated_scene/generator.rs
git commit -m "feat(generator): add jQuery + fetch dual HTTP client support in template"

---

Task 3: Add determineArtifactStatus Function

Files:

• Modify: src/generated_scene/generator.rs (add new function to template before buildArtifact)

Goal: Add complete status determination logic supporting blocked/error/partial/empty/ok statuses.

• Step 1: Add determineArtifactStatus function to template

Insert the following function into the template, before the buildArtifact function:

function determineArtifactStatus({ blockedReason = '', fatalError = '', reasons = [], rows = [] }) {
  if (blockedReason) return 'blocked';
  if (fatalError) return 'error';
  if (reasons.length > 0) return 'partial';
  if (!rows.length) return 'empty';
  return 'ok';
}

This should be placed in the template string between normalizeRows and buildArtifact functions.

• Step 2: Verify the change

cargo build

Expected: Build succeeds.

• Step 3: Commit

git add src/generated_scene/generator.rs
git commit -m "feat(generator): add determineArtifactStatus for complete status determination"

---

Task 4: Enhance buildArtifact Function

Files:

• Modify: src/generated_scene/generator.rs:334-353 (current buildArtifact function in template)

Goal: Enhance buildArtifact to use determineArtifactStatus and accept additional parameters.

• Step 1: Replace buildArtifact function

Replace the current buildArtifact function with enhanced version:

Current:

function buildArtifact(args, rows) {
  return {
    type: 'report-artifact',
    report_name: '{scene_id}',
    status: rows.length > 0 ? 'ok' : 'empty',
    period: {
      mode: args.period_mode,
      mode_code: args.period_mode_code,
      value: args.period_value,
      payload: normalizePayload(args.period_payload)
    },
    org: { label: args.org_label, code: args.org_code },
    column_defs: COLUMN_DEFS,
    columns: {columns_json},
    rows,
    counts: { detail_rows: rows.length },
    partial_reasons: [],
    reasons: []
  };
}

Enhanced:

function buildArtifact({ status, blockedReason = '', fatalError = '', reasons = [], rows = [], args }) {
  return {
    type: 'report-artifact',
    report_name: REPORT_NAME,
    status: status || determineArtifactStatus({ blockedReason, fatalError, reasons, rows }),
    period: {
      mode: args.period_mode,
      mode_code: args.period_mode_code,
      value: args.period_value,
      payload: normalizePayload(args.period_payload)
    },
    org: { label: args.org_label, code: args.org_code },
    column_defs: COLUMN_DEFS,
    columns: COLUMNS,
    rows,
    counts: { detail_rows: rows.length },
    partial_reasons: reasons.filter(r => r && !r.startsWith('api_') && !r.startsWith('validation_')),
    reasons: Array.from(new Set(reasons.filter(Boolean)))
  };
}

• Step 2: Verify the change

cargo build

Expected: Build succeeds.

• Step 3: Commit

git add src/generated_scene/generator.rs
git commit -m "feat(generator): enhance buildArtifact with determineArtifactStatus integration"

Task 5: Enhance buildBrowserEntrypointResult Function

Files:

• Modify: src/generated_scene/generator.rs:370-405 (current buildBrowserEntrypointResult function in template)

Goal: Complete rewrite of entrypoint with proper validation flow, page context check, and error handling.

• Step 1: Replace buildBrowserEntrypointResult function

Replace the entire buildBrowserEntrypointResult function:

Current:

async function buildBrowserEntrypointResult(args, deps = defaultDeps) {
  const validation = validateArgs(args);
  if (!validation.valid) {
    return {
      type: 'report-artifact',
      report_name: '{scene_id}',
      status: 'error',
      error: 'Validation failed: ' + validation.errors.join(', '),
      column_defs: COLUMN_DEFS,
      columns: {columns_json},
      rows: [],
      counts: { detail_rows: 0 },
      partial_reasons: [],
      reasons: validation.errors
    };
  }

  try {
    const rawData = await (deps.queryData ? deps.queryData(args) : Promise.resolve([]));
    const rows = normalizeRows(rawData);
    return buildArtifact(args, rows);
  } catch (error) {
    return {
      type: 'report-artifact',
      report_name: '{scene_id}',
      status: 'error',
      error: error.message,
      column_defs: COLUMN_DEFS,
      columns: {columns_json},
      rows: [],
      counts: { detail_rows: 0 },
      partial_reasons: [],
      reasons: [error.message]
    };
  }
}

Enhanced:

async function buildBrowserEntrypointResult(args, deps = defaultDeps) {
  // 1. Parameter validation
  const validation = validateArgs(args);
  if (!validation.valid) {
    return buildArtifact({
      status: 'blocked',
      blockedReason: 'validation_failed',
      reasons: validation.errors,
      rows: [],
      args
    });
  }

  // 2. Page context validation
  const pageValidation = typeof deps.validatePageContext === 'function'
    ? deps.validatePageContext(args)
    : { ok: true };
  if (!pageValidation?.ok) {
    return buildArtifact({
      status: 'blocked',
      blockedReason: pageValidation?.reason || 'page_context_mismatch',
      reasons: [pageValidation?.reason || 'page_context_mismatch'],
      rows: [],
      args
    });
  }

  // 3. Data fetching
  const reasons = [];
  let rawData = null;
  try {
    rawData = await (deps.queryData ? deps.queryData(args) : Promise.resolve([]));
  } catch (error) {
    return buildArtifact({
      status: 'error',
      fatalError: error.message,
      reasons: ['api_query_failed:' + error.message],
      rows: [],
      args
    });
  }

  // 4. Row normalization
  const rows = normalizeRows(rawData);
  if (rows.length === 0 && Array.isArray(rawData) && rawData.length > 0) {
    reasons.push('row_normalization_partial');
  }

  // 5. Build artifact
  return buildArtifact({ reasons, rows, args });
}

Task 6: Add Helper Functions and Constants

Files:

• Modify: src/generated_scene/generator.rs (add helper functions to template)

Goal: Add utility functions used by the enhanced template.

• Step 1: Add helper functions after COLUMN_DEFS constant

Add these utility functions to the template after the constant definitions:

const REPORT_NAME = '{scene_id}';
const COLUMNS = {columns_json};

function pickFirstNonEmpty(...values) {
  for (const value of values) {
    if (typeof value === 'string' && value.trim() !== '') {
      return value.trim();
    }
  }
  return '';
}

function isNonEmptyString(value) {
  return typeof value === 'string' && value.trim() !== '';
}

Task 7: Update Module Exports

Files:

• Modify: src/generated_scene/generator.rs:407-409 (current module.exports in template)

Goal: Update module exports to include new functions.

• Step 1: Update module.exports

Replace the current export block:

Current:

if (typeof module !== 'undefined') {
  module.exports = { buildBrowserEntrypointResult, normalizePayload, validateArgs, buildRequest, normalizeRows, buildArtifact, API_ENDPOINTS, STATIC_PARAMS, COLUMN_DEFS };
}

Enhanced:

if (typeof module !== 'undefined') {
  module.exports = {
    buildBrowserEntrypointResult,
    normalizePayload,
    validateArgs,
    buildRequest,
    normalizeRows,
    determineArtifactStatus,
    buildArtifact,
    API_ENDPOINTS,
    STATIC_PARAMS,
    COLUMN_DEFS,
    COLUMNS,
    REPORT_NAME
  };
}

• Test: Generate a skill package and verify the output

Goal: Verify the enhanced template generates valid JavaScript.

• Step 1: Build the project

cargo build --release

Expected: Build succeeds.

• Step 2: Generate a test skill package

Use the scene generator to create a test skill:

# Assuming you have a test scene directory
cargo run --bin sg_scene_generate -- --source-dir "examples/test-scene" --scene-id "test-enhanced" --scene-name "Test Enhanced" --output-root "tmp_test_enhanced" --scene-info-json '{"sceneId":"test-enhanced","sceneName":"Test Enhanced","apiEndpoints":[{"name":"testApi","url":"http://example.com/api/test","method":"POST"}],"staticParams":{},"columnDefs":[["col1","Column 1"]]}'

Expected: Skill package generated without errors.

• Step 3: Verify generated script syntax

Check the generated JavaScript for syntax errors:

node --check tmp_test_enhanced/skills/test-enhanced/scripts/collect_test_enhanced.js

Expected: No syntax errors.

• Step 4: Run the generated test

node tmp_test_enhanced/skills/test-enhanced/scripts/collect_test_enhanced.test.js

Expected: Test passes (may fail on API call, but artifact structure should be valid).

• Step 5: Commit

git add -A
git commit -m "test: verify enhanced template generates valid JavaScript"

Execution Handoff

Plan complete and saved to docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-17-progressive-template-enhancement-plan.md. Two execution options:

1. Subagent-Driven (recommended) - I dispatch a fresh subagent per task, review between tasks, fast iteration

2. Inline Execution - Execute tasks in this session using executing-plans, batch execution with checkpoints

Which approach?
