# Feature Roadmap & Implementation Plan

**Project:** Mila - Membership Management System  
**Last Updated:** 2026-03-03  
**Status:** Active Development

---

This is the living per-area roadmap: shipped state (coarse — see `development-progress-log.md` for detail), open issues, and the missing-features backlog. For the actual, current endpoints see `lib/mv_web/router.ex` and `docs/page-permission-route-coverage.md`.

## Feature Area Breakdown

### Feature Areas

#### 1. **Authentication & Authorization** 🔐

**Current State:**
- ✅ OIDC authentication (Rauthy)
- ✅ Password-based authentication
- ✅ User sessions and tokens
- ✅ Basic authentication flows
- ✅ **OIDC account linking with password verification** (PR #192, closes #171)
- ✅ **Secure OIDC email collision handling** (PR #192)
- ✅ **Automatic linking for passwordless users** (PR #192)
- ✅ **Page Permission Router Plug** - Page-level authorization (PR #390, closes #388, 2026-01-27)
  - Route-based permission checking
  - Automatic redirects for unauthorized access
  - Integration with permission sets

**Closed Issues:**
- ✅ [#171](https://git.local-it.org/local-it/mitgliederverwaltung/issues/171) - OIDC handling and linking (closed 2025-11-13)
- ✅ [#146](https://git.local-it.org/local-it/mitgliederverwaltung/issues/146) - Translate "or" in the login screen — fixed via `MvWeb.AuthOverridesDE` locale-specific module (2026-03-13)
- ✅ [#144](https://git.local-it.org/local-it/mitgliederverwaltung/issues/144) - Add language switch dropdown to login screen — fixed locale selector bug with `Gettext.get_locale(MvWeb.Gettext)` (2026-03-13)

**Open Issues:** (none remaining for Authentication UI)

**Current State:**
- ✅ **Role-based access control (RBAC)** - Implemented (2026-01-08, PR #346, closes #345)
- ✅ **Permission system** - Four hardcoded permission sets (`own_data`, `read_only`, `normal_user`, `admin`)
- ✅ **Database-backed roles** - Roles table with permission set references
- ✅ **Resource policies** - Member resource policies with scope filtering
- ✅ **Page-level authorization** - LiveView page access control
- ✅ **System role protection** - Critical roles cannot be deleted

**Implemented: OIDC-only mode:**
- ✅ Admin Settings: when OIDC-only is enabled, the "Allow direct registration" toggle is disabled with a hint.
- ✅ Backend rejects password sign-in and `register_with_password` when OIDC-only is active.
- ✅ GET `/sign-in` redirects to OIDC when OIDC-only and OIDC are configured (`MvWeb.Plugs.OidcOnlySignInRedirect`). The `oidc_only` setting and ENV are read via `Mv.Config.oidc_only?/0`.

**Missing Features:**
- ❌ Password reset flow
- ❌ Email verification
- ❌ Two-factor authentication (future)

- [#153](https://git.local-it.org/local-it/mitgliederverwaltung/issues/153) - Sorting functionalities for custom fields (M, Low priority)

#### 5. **Navigation & UX** 🧭

**Current State:**
- ✅ Basic navigation structure
- ✅ Navbar with profile button
- ✅ Member list as landing page
- ✅ Breadcrumbs (basic)
- ✅ **Flash: auto-dismiss and consistency** (Design Guidelines §9)
  - Auto-dismiss implemented via the `FlashAutoDismiss` JS hook (`assets/js/app.js`) driven by the `data-auto-clear-ms` and `data-clear-flash-key` attributes on the flash component (`MvWeb.CoreComponents.flash/1`); the per-flash delay is set through the component's `auto_clear_ms` attribute, and the dismiss button is kept for accessibility.
  - On timeout the hook pushes LiveView's built-in `lv:clear-flash` event (no custom `handle_event`) and hides the element.
  - All flashes (including “Email copied”) use the same variants (info, success, warning, error); no special tone. See `DESIGN_GUIDELINES.md` §9.
  - ❌ Per-kind default durations (info/success 4–6s, warning 6–8s, error 8–12s) are not built in — the delay is a single explicit `auto_clear_ms` value per flash, not a kind-based default.

**Open Issues:**
- [#188](https://git.local-it.org/local-it/mitgliederverwaltung/issues/188) - Check if searching just on typing is accessible (S, Low priority)

#### 10. **Reporting & Analytics** 📊

**Current State:**
- ✅ **Statistics page (MVP)** – `/statistics` with active/inactive member counts, joins/exits by year, cycle totals, open amount (2026-02-10). Backed by `Mv.Statistics` (read-only Ash reads on `Member` + `MembershipFeeCycle`, no new resources); displayed in `MvWeb.StatisticsLive`. Permission: read_only, normal_user, admin (own_data denied).

**MVP design decisions:**
- Charts are HTML/CSS + SVG only — no Contex, no Chart.js (deliberate).
- Open amount = total unpaid only; no overdue vs. not-yet-due split in the MVP.
- Out of scope (deferred follow-ups): export (CSV/PDF), caching, month/quarter filters, "members per fee type" / "members per group" stats, overdue split, new tables/resources.

## Endpoints

For the real, current routes and their authorization, see `lib/mv_web/router.ex` and `docs/page-permission-route-coverage.md` (the per-permission-set route matrix). The Ash resource actions are defined on each resource module under `lib/`. An earlier speculative API catalog for not-yet-existing resources (Payment, Invoice, Report, Notification, AuditLog, Organization) was removed — those are tracked above as missing features per area, not as endpoint specs.
