+# TASK METADATA
+
+- **Target Files:**
+ - `server/routes/events.ts`
+ - `ui/components/SessionsPage.tsx`
+ - `ui/components/sessions/EventCockpitDeck.tsx`
+ - `ui/components/sessions/WorkshopDrawer.tsx`
+ - `ui/components/sessions/EventGuestsDrawer.tsx`
+ - `ui/components/sessions/SessionDeck.tsx`
+ - `ui/components/sessions/SessionTable.tsx`
+ - `ui/components/sessions/SessionsScript.tsx`
+ - `server/tests/events.test.ts`
+ - `ui/ui_scripts.test.ts`
+- **Core Objective:** Implement Phase 6 Final Polish & Hardening:
+ 1. Unify nomenclature & IA across pages and drawers (`Sessions & Events`, `Delegate Session`, `Events`, `Sessions`).
+ 2. Implement universal ingress credential rotation (rotates both 6-digit PIN and event slug suffix simultaneously).
+ 3. Fix expired event extend math bug using `GREATEST(expires_at, NOW()) + interval`.
+ 4. Replace broken compact mode with strictly bounded, 2-Row Compact Cards with inline copy pills and zero text/border collisions.
+ 5. Implement standardized natural `ExpiryBadge` format (`[Date] Β· [Time] Β· [Urgency Badge]`) and symmetrical inverted start-time telemetry in the Guest Drawer.
+ 6. Upgrade segmented view mode toggles and WAI-ARIA delegation tabs with high-contrast active states.
+ 7. Reset drawer state machine on open and replace verbose/mock buttons with clean `[ OK ]`.
+- **Dependencies:** None.
+- **Additional Important Notes:** Must remain 100% pure React-free Hono SSR JSX. All client interactions in `SessionsScript.tsx` must use native vanilla JavaScript DOM APIs.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Architectural Considerations & Risks
+
+- **Risks:**
+ - **Ingress Rotation Leakage & Active Session Disruption:** When rotating event ingress credentials (`pin_code` and `slug`), existing active guest sessions must remain valid and uninterrupted. Only subsequent unauthenticated join attempts using the old PIN, old Direct Link, or old CLI command must be rejected (404 / Invalid Code).
+ - **Expired Event Extending Edge Cases:** When an organizer extends an event that expired in the past, `expires_at + interval '1 hour'` would leave the expiry in the past. Using `GREATEST(expires_at, NOW()) + interval '${extendHours} hours'` guarantees the new expiration time is set relative to the current moment.
+ - **DOM Boundary & Overflow Bleed:** The previous compact mode forced elements into a single unconstrained horizontal flex line, causing text collisions and input boxes bleeding off the desktop screen. The new 2-Row Compact Card must enforce strict CSS bounding (`box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis;`).
+ - **State Machine Staleness:** Reopening the delegation drawer must unconditionally reset the form back to State 1 (clean creation form with `Single Session` default tab) rather than leaving the stale success screen visible.
+
+- **Alternatives:**
+ - *Single-Line vs. 2-Row Compact Cards:* Single-line cards inevitably drop essential copy actions or clip text on viewports under 1200px. A structured 2-Row Compact Card (~70px height) preserves 100% of copy handoffs (PIN, Link, CLI) and key metrics (Seats, Status, Expiry) while preventing all layout collisions.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Proposed Implementation
+
+### Phase 1: Universal Ingress Credential Rotation & Backend Math Fix (`server/routes/events.ts`)
+
+1. **Universal Ingress Rotation (`POST /api/events/:id/rotate-pin`):**
+ - Update endpoint to rotate **BOTH** `pin_code` AND the random slug suffix:
+ ```typescript
+ const randPin = Math.floor(100000 + Math.random() * 900000).toString();
+ const newPinCode = randPin.substring(0, 3) + "-" + randPin.substring(3);
+
+ // Extract base slug prefix and generate fresh random 4-char suffix
+ const event = await sqlWrapper.sql`SELECT slug, name FROM event_passes WHERE id = ${eventId}...`;
+ const baseSlug = event[0].slug.replace(/-[a-z0-9]{4}$/, "");
+ const newSuffix = Math.random().toString(36).substring(2, 6);
+ const newSlug = `${baseSlug}-${newSuffix}`;
+ ```
+ - Update database: `UPDATE event_passes SET pin_code = ${newPinCode}, slug = ${newSlug} WHERE id = ${eventId}...`
+ - Audit log `event_ingress_rotated`.
+ - Return `{ success: true, pinCode: newPinCode, slug: newSlug }`.
+ - Note: Existing active attendee sessions (`username LIKE 'guest_...'`) authenticate via session cookies/Valkey tokens and are unaffected.
+
+2. **Resilient Event Extension Math (`POST /api/events/:id/extend`):**
+ - Fix SQL to calculate new expiry from `GREATEST(expires_at, NOW())`:
+ ```sql
+ UPDATE event_passes
+ SET expires_at = GREATEST(expires_at, NOW()) + interval '${extendHours} hours'
+ WHERE id = ${eventId} AND (created_by = ${user.userId} OR ${isAdmin}) AND is_active = TRUE
+ RETURNING slug, expires_at
+ ```
+
+3. **Guest Attendee Telemetry (`GET /api/events/:id/attendees`):**
+ - Ensure query returns `s.id, s.label, s.is_paused, s.created_at, s.expires_at, s.last_activity_at, s.last_activity_action, u.username, u.display_name`.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 2: Page Hierarchy, Nomenclature & Heading Cleanup (`SessionsPage.tsx`)
+
+1. **Page Title:**
+ - Set top `
` in `SessionsPage.tsx` to **`Sessions & Events`** with subtitle *"Manage logins, mint 1:1 delegated tokens, or launch multi-claim workshop events."*
+2. **Remove Duplicate Headings:**
+ - Remove redundant `Event Passes
` from `SessionsPage.tsx`. The section header is exclusively rendered inside `EventCockpitDeck.tsx` as `Events
` alongside the view toggle.
+3. **Sessions Section:**
+ - Retain `Sessions
` heading with subtitle *"Direct device logins, passkey authentications, and delegated agent tokens."*
+
+---
+
+### Phase 3: Bounded 2-Row Compact Cards & Grid Card Polish (`EventCockpitDeck.tsx`)
+
+1. **Section Header & High-Contrast View Toggle:**
+ - Header: `Events
`.
+ - Toggle buttons (`[ ποΈ Grid ]` and `[ π Compact ]`):
+ - Active style: `background: var(--primary); color: #ffffff; font-weight: 700; box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.3); border-radius: var(--radius-sm);`
+ - Inactive style: `background: transparent; color: var(--text-muted); opacity: 0.75;`
+ - Include `aria-pressed="true/false"`.
+
+2. **2-Row Compact Card Layout (`.compact-view .event-card`):**
+ - Container: Strictly bounded flex/grid (~70px height), `box-sizing: border-box; overflow: hidden; padding: 0.75rem 1rem;`.
+ - **Row 1 (Metadata Header):**
+ - Left: Event title with ellipsis (`max-width: 280px; white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-weight: 700; color: var(--text-primary);`).
+ - Center/Right: Subtle dot `Β·` + `renderExpiryPill(expiresAt)` + Subtle dot `Β·` + `[ N/Max Seats ]` + `[ Status Badge ]`.
+ - **Row 2 (1-Click Handoffs & Action Pinned Right):**
+ - Left (Handoff Pills): `[ PIN: 241-881 (Copy) ]`, `[ Link (Copy) ]`, `[ CLI (Copy) ]` using compact inline pills (`padding: 2px 6px; font-size: 0.75rem;`).
+ - Right (Action Buttons): Compact `[ π₯ Guests (N) ]` and `[ π +1h ]` (or `[ π Reopen (+1h) ]` if expired).
+ - **Delete Mock Code:** Completely remove the `[ βΈ Details ]` button and its `alert(...)` placeholder.
+
+3. **Grid Card Polish:**
+ - Replace detached CLI `` box with a unified **Integrated Expanding CLI Component**:
+ - Single-line snippet when collapsed with `[ Copy ]` and `[ βΎ ]` toggle.
+ - Expands downward into multiline highlighted command block on toggle click.
+ - Fix double arrow marker bug (`list-style: none;`).
+ - Standardize `[ π Rotate Credentials ]` button to invoke multi-field rotation.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 4: Standardized Natural Expiry & Start-Time Telemetry (`SessionsScript.tsx` & Drawers)
+
+1. **Natural Expiry Formatter Helper (`formatNaturalExpiry(expiresAt)`):**
+ - Natural Date String: `Today` (if $<24$h), `Tomorrow` (if $<48$h), `MMM D` (if same year), `MMM D, YYYY` (if different year).
+ - Exact Time: `h:mm A` (e.g. `10:39 PM`).
+ - Scaled Urgency Badge:
+ - $<1$h: Amber `[ 45m left ]`
+ - $<24$h: Amber/Green `[ 2h 45m left ]`
+ - 1β60d: Green `[ 28d left ]`
+ - 2β12 mos: Green `[ 4.5 mos left ]` (no `142d`)
+ - $>1$ yr: Green `[ 1.2 yrs left ]` (no `420d`)
+ - Expired: Red `[ Expired ]`
+ - Tooltip: `title="${fullISODate}"` on hover/long-press.
+ - Format: `[Date] Β· [Time] Β· [ Colored Urgency Badge ]`.
+
+2. **Inverted Symmetrical Start-Time Formatter (`formatNaturalJoinTime(createdAt)`):**
+ - In `EventGuestsDrawer.tsx`, render:
+ - **Header:** Bold `Seat #[N]` + `π’ Active / βΈοΈ Paused` badge + `[ βΈοΈ Pause ]` + `[ ποΈ Revoke ]`.
+ - **Line 1:** `Joined Today Β· 2:15 PM Β· ` Active 7h 54m.
+ - **Line 2:** `Last Action: ${lastAction || 'ForwardAuth Ingress'} Β· ${timeAgo} Β· π» Web` (or `π CLI`).
+ - Remove redundant `guest_slug_seat` visual text (keep in tooltip only).
+
+---
+
+### Phase 5: Delegation Drawer Overhaul (`WorkshopDrawer.tsx` & `SessionsScript.tsx`)
+
+1. **Drawer Nomenclature & WAI-ARIA High-Contrast Tabs:**
+ - Drawer Header: `Delegate Session
` with subtitle *"Mint a 1:1 delegated token or launch a multi-seat workshop event."*
+ - Tabs (`role="tablist"`):
+ - **Tab 1 (`role="tab"`):** `Single Session`
+ - Subtitle hint: *For agents, CI/CD, or 1:1 delegation*
+ - **Tab 2 (`role="tab"`):** `Multi-Claim Event`
+ - Subtitle hint: *For workshops, teams & guest pools*
+ - High-Contrast Active State: Solid `var(--primary)` background with white text (`#ffffff`), `aria-selected="true"`.
+ - Inactive State: Translucent muted background (`opacity: 0.75`), `aria-selected="false"`.
+
+2. **Handoff State & Button Minimalist Polish:**
+ - Standardize all 3 copy buttons to uniform `btn-outline` (`Copy PIN`, `Copy URL`, `Copy 1-Liner`).
+ - Replace `"Dismiss"` with a clean, minimal button **`[ OK ]`**.
+
+3. **State Machine Reset on Open:**
+ - In `SessionsScript.tsx:openDelegateDrawer()`:
+ - Reset `#eventCreateState` to `display: block` and `#eventHandoffState` to `display: none`.
+ - Clear form inputs (`eventName`, `eventSlug`, `eventPinCode`, etc.).
+ - Reset tab selection to `Single Session`.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Verification Plan
+
+### Automated Tests
+1. **Universal Credential Rotation Test (`server/tests/events.test.ts`):**
+ - Create event pass -> Call `POST /api/events/:id/rotate-pin`.
+ - Verify response returns new `pinCode` AND new `slug`.
+ - Verify old PIN and old slug are rejected at `/api/events/join` with 404.
+ - Verify new PIN and new slug succeed at `/api/events/join`.
+ - Verify existing authenticated guest sessions remain valid.
+2. **Expired Event Extend Math Test (`server/tests/events.test.ts`):**
+ - Insert expired event with `expires_at = NOW() - interval '3 hours'`.
+ - Call `POST /api/events/:id/extend` with `extendHours: 1`.
+ - Verify `expires_at > NOW()` (approximately `NOW() + 1 hour`).
+3. **UI Script & Formatter Tests (`ui/ui_scripts.test.ts`):**
+ - Unit test `formatNaturalExpiry` across all time horizons (<1h, <24h, 28d, 142d -> `4.5 mos`, 420d -> `1.2 yrs`, expired).
+ - Test `formatNaturalJoinTime` inverted duration math.
+ - Test drawer state machine reset logic.
