+# Intake Review Queue 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:** An admin can see every submitted item with its photos, note and drafted copy, edit it, and publish it — or send it back for another draft, or discard it.
+
+**Architecture:** One new admin router at `/api/admin/item-drafts` exposing a list and four actions, and one new admin tab that renders it. Publishing writes the edited fields onto the item and sets it available; nothing else in the app moves an intake item to the storefront.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Express 4, TypeScript, `pg`, Jest + supertest, React, antd, Playwright.
+
+**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-29-intake-pipeline-design.md` (issue #225, slice 4 of #220)
+
+**Already verified against the tree, so no need to re-check:** `item_drafts` has `item_id` (UNIQUE, FK CASCADE), `upload_link_id`, `submitter_note`, `state`, `attempts`, `model`, `ai_name`, `ai_description`, `ai_category_id`, `ai_tag_names`, `ai_suggested_price_cents`, `price_source`, `ai_error`, `input_tokens`, `output_tokens`, `cost_micros`, `drafted_at`, `created_at`. `items` is `(id, name, description, price_cents NOT NULL DEFAULT 8000, status DEFAULT 'pending', …)` with no CHECK constraint on status. `item_images` is `(item_id, image_path, sort_order)`. Admin routers mount as `app.use('/api/admin/<thing>', requireAdminGate, router)` — see `app.ts:81` for upload links. `POST /api/admin/items/:id/mark-available` (`routes/admin.ts:304`) sets `status='available'` and clears `sold_at`, `reserved_until`, `paypal_order_id`. Admin tabs are registered in `frontend/src/admin/Admin.tsx:392-398`.
+
+## Global Constraints
+
+- **Nothing reaches the storefront except by publishing from this queue.** The item arrives `pending`, which every public query already excludes. This screen is the only place `mark-available` is reached for an intake item.
+- **The price field is the point of this screen.** Items are priced on arrival, so the schema no longer prevents an unchosen price reaching the storefront — the protection lives here now. The field is labelled with where the number came from, anything that is not `price_source='admin'` is visibly unconfirmed, editing sets `'admin'`, and publishing an unconfirmed price is allowed but says so *before* rather than after.
+- **80.00 is a plausible price, not an obvious sentinel.** `0` would render "$0.00" and read as a bug; 80.00 reads as a decision. That is the entire argument for surfacing provenance loudly.
+- **Discard is recoverable.** A one-click destructive action reachable from an inbox must not be final.
+- **States are `queued | drafting | ready | failed | discarded`.** Note the worker never sets `drafting` today — it goes `queued → ready|failed` — so that filter will legitimately be empty. Do not "fix" that here.
+- **Every route handler wrapped in `asyncRoute`** — `tests/unit/routesAreWrapped.test.ts` enforces it.
+- **antd deep imports from `antd/es/...`**, never the barrel.
+- **E2E assertions scoped to the item under test**, never the whole grid — the dev database never truncates. Use `findOrFail` from `./fixtures` for collection lookups, and `exact: true` on any short accessible name (#253).
+- **Playwright and the integration suite need Node 20+**; the machine default is 18.16.1. Put a newer Node first on `PATH` for the command — never `nvm use`.
+- **Commit style:** Conventional Commits, subject ending `(#225)`, no hard wrapping in bodies.
+
+## File Structure
+
+**Created:**
+- `backend/src/intake/priceSource.ts` — the transition rule. Pure.
+- `backend/src/routes/adminItemDrafts.ts` — list plus four actions.
+- `backend/tests/unit/priceSource.test.ts`
+- `backend/tests/integration/adminItemDrafts.integration.test.ts`
+- `frontend/src/admin/draftsApi.ts` — typed client.
+- `frontend/src/admin/DraftQueue.tsx` — the screen.
+- `frontend/tests/e2e/admin-draft-queue.spec.ts`
+
+**Modified:**
+- `backend/src/app.ts` — mount the router
+- `frontend/src/admin/Admin.tsx` — register the tab
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: The price provenance rule
+
+The one piece of logic on this screen that must not be wrong, so it is pure and tested on its own rather than buried in a route.
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `backend/src/intake/priceSource.ts`, `backend/tests/unit/priceSource.test.ts`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Produces: `type PriceSource = 'default' | 'ai' | 'admin'`, `nextPriceSource(current: PriceSource, submittedCents: number, storedCents: number): PriceSource`, `isUnconfirmed(source: PriceSource): boolean`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+```ts
+import { nextPriceSource, isUnconfirmed } from '../../src/intake/priceSource';
+
+describe('nextPriceSource', () => {
+  // Touching the number is the admin taking responsibility for it. That is the
+  // only event that can confirm a price.
+  it('becomes admin when the number changes', () => {
+    expect(nextPriceSource('default', 9500, 8000)).toBe('admin');
+    expect(nextPriceSource('ai', 4000, 4500)).toBe('admin');
+  });
+
+  // Publishing without touching the field must NOT silently confirm it. That
+  // is the whole failure this screen exists to prevent: an item selling at a
+  // number nobody chose, with nothing recording that.
+  it('leaves an untouched price unconfirmed', () => {
+    expect(nextPriceSource('default', 8000, 8000)).toBe('default');
+    expect(nextPriceSource('ai', 4500, 4500)).toBe('ai');
+  });
+
+  // Already confirmed stays confirmed, including when re-submitted unchanged.
+  it('keeps admin once set', () => {
+    expect(nextPriceSource('admin', 9500, 9500)).toBe('admin');
+    expect(nextPriceSource('admin', 7000, 9500)).toBe('admin');
+  });
+});
+
+describe('isUnconfirmed', () => {
+  it('treats anything but admin as unconfirmed', () => {
+    expect(isUnconfirmed('default')).toBe(true);
+    expect(isUnconfirmed('ai')).toBe(true);
+    expect(isUnconfirmed('admin')).toBe(false);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run it to verify it fails**
+
+```bash
+cd backend && npx jest -c jest.unit.config.js priceSource
+```
+
+Expected: FAIL — module not found.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Write it**
+
+```ts
+/**
+ * Where an item's price came from, and when that changes.
+ *
+ * This is the protection that used to live in the schema. Items are priced on
+ * arrival — the model's suggestion, or the 80.00 default — so nothing stops a
+ * number nobody chose from reaching the storefront except this screen showing
+ * that it was never chosen.
+ *
+ * Pure and separately tested because the failure is silent. An item that sells
+ * at a default price looks exactly like an item that sells at a chosen one;
+ * 80.00 was picked precisely because it reads as a decision rather than as an
+ * obvious sentinel like 0.00 would.
+ */
+export type PriceSource = 'default' | 'ai' | 'admin';
+
+/**
+ * Editing the number is the admin taking responsibility for it, and it is the
+ * only thing that can. Publishing without touching the field deliberately does
+ * NOT confirm it — that would turn "I did not look at this" into "I approved
+ * this", which is the exact misrecording this screen exists to prevent.
+ */
+export function nextPriceSource(
+  current: PriceSource,
+  submittedCents: number,
+  storedCents: number
+): PriceSource {
+  if (current === 'admin') return 'admin';

+
+/** Anything a person did not choose, which the screen marks visibly. */
+export function isUnconfirmed(source: PriceSource): boolean {
+  return source !== 'admin';
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run it to verify it passes**
+
+```bash
+cd backend && npx jest -c jest.unit.config.js priceSource

+
+### Task 2: Listing the queue
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `backend/src/routes/adminItemDrafts.ts`, `backend/tests/integration/adminItemDrafts.integration.test.ts`
+- Modify: `backend/src/app.ts`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `PriceSource` from Task 1
+- Produces: `GET /api/admin/item-drafts?state=<state>` returning `{ drafts: DraftRow[] }`

+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run it to verify it fails**
+
+Bring up a database (see Global Constraints), then:
+
+```bash
+cd backend && npx jest -c jest.integration.config.js --runInBand adminItemDrafts
+```
+
+Expected: FAIL — 404, the route does not exist.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Write the router**
+
+Create `backend/src/routes/adminItemDrafts.ts`:
+
+```ts
+import { Router, Request, Response } from 'express';
+import { pool } from '../db';
+import { asyncRoute } from '../asyncRoute';
+
+const router = Router();
+
+/**
+ * The review queue: everything waiting for a person, with what a person needs

+ * to the browser. The images come back as an aggregate rather than a second
+ * round trip, matching itemSelect.ts.
+ */
+const DRAFT_SELECT = `
+  SELECT d.item_id, d.state, d.attempts, d.submitter_note, d.ai_error,

+
+export default router;

+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Mount it**
+
+In `backend/src/app.ts`, beside the other admin routers:
+
+```ts
+import adminItemDraftsRouter from './routes/adminItemDrafts';
+```
+
+and, next to the `upload-links` line:
+
+```ts
+app.use('/api/admin/item-drafts', requireAdminGate, adminItemDraftsRouter);
+```
+
+The gate goes on the mount, not inside the router — that is the pattern every other admin router follows, and it is what makes the "refuses without the admin gate" test above pass without a line of code in the handler.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run it to verify it passes**
+
+```bash
+cd backend && npx jest -c jest.integration.config.js --runInBand adminItemDrafts
+npx jest -c jest.unit.config.js routesAreWrapped
+```
+
+Expected: PASS, 4 integration tests, and the wrapper guard still green.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash

+- [ ] **Step 3: Register the tab**
+
+In `frontend/src/admin/Admin.tsx`, import it beside the others:
+
+```tsx
+import DraftQueue from './DraftQueue';
+```
+
+and add to the `items` array, after `upload-links` — the two belong together, one issuing links and the other receiving what comes back:
+
+```tsx
+{ key: 'review-queue', label: 'Review queue', children: <DraftQueue /> },
+```
+
+Then extend the e2e page object's tab union, or `admin.open('Review queue')` in Task 6 will not type-check. `AdminTab` in `frontend/tests/e2e/pages/AdminPage.ts:4` is a closed union of six labels:
+
+```ts
+export type AdminTab =
+  | 'Inventory'
+  | 'Categories'
+  | 'Tags'
+  | 'Customers'
+  | 'Emails'
+  | 'Settings'
+  | 'Review queue';
+```
+
+The string must match the tab's label exactly, because `tab()` locates by it.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Verify**
+
+```bash
+cd frontend && npm run build && npm run lint
+```
+
+Expected: build clean — note `npm run build` is `tsc && tsc -p tsconfig.test.json --noEmit && vite build`, and only the second command type-checks tests, so run the whole script rather than a bare `tsc` (#254).
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add frontend/src/admin/draftsApi.ts frontend/src/admin/DraftQueue.tsx frontend/src/admin/Admin.tsx
+git commit -m "feat(intake): review, edit and publish drafts from the admin (#225)"

+### Task 6: End to end
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `frontend/tests/e2e/admin-draft-queue.spec.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the test**
+
+The item must be seeded **through the intake route**, not `POST /api/admin/items`. That endpoint is multipart, takes `price` in dollars, and — decisively — writes no `item_drafts` row, so an item created with it would never appear in a queue that joins that table. Submitting through a link is also the path a real submission takes.
+
+```ts
+import { test, expect, uniqueSuffix, findOrFail, createAdminContext } from './fixtures';

+// The 1x1 PNG the other upload specs use, so this exercises the real validated
+// upload path rather than a buffer that merely starts correctly.

+// full-queue assertion outruns its timeout and fails for reasons that have
+// nothing to do with the behaviour under test (#241).

+    await expect(card.getByText(/nobody chose this/)).toBeVisible();
+
+    await card.getByLabel('Name').fill(`Blue vase ${RUN}`);
+    await card.getByLabel('Price').fill('95');
+    await card.getByRole('button', { name: 'Publish', exact: true }).click();
+
+    // Editing the price confirms it, so no dialog appears and it simply
+    // publishes. page.request carries the admin session already.
+    const items = await (await page.request.get('/api/admin/items')).json();
+    const published = findOrFail(
+      items as { id: number; name: string; status: string; price_cents: number }[],

+
+```bash
+cd frontend && npx playwright test admin-draft-queue.spec.ts --project=chromium --reporter=list
+```
+
+Expected: PASS. The suite runs on one worker (#241), so this does not contend with other specs.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run the whole suite**
+
+```bash
+cd frontend && npx playwright test --project=chromium
+```
+
+Expected: every test passes. A failure elsewhere means this spec left state behind that another spec reads — fix that here rather than in the other spec.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add frontend/tests/e2e/admin-draft-queue.spec.ts
+git commit -m "test(intake): cover reviewing and publishing a submission (#225)"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Done when
+
+- A submitted item appears in the Review queue with its photos, the sender's note, and which link it came from.
+- The drafted name and description are editable and publish onto the item.
+- The price is labelled with where it came from, anything not set by the admin is visibly unconfirmed, editing it confirms it, and publishing an unconfirmed price asks first.
+- Regenerate returns a failed draft to the worker with its attempts cleared.
+- Discard removes it from the queue and the storefront without deleting anything, and Restore brings it back at a state its contents justify.
+- `npm run build`, `npm run lint`, the unit suites, the integration suite and the full e2e suite all pass.
+
+## One deviation from the spec, stated rather than buried
+
+The issue says the screen should reuse "the existing admin item components where they fit rather than growing a second item editor". This plan builds a purpose-made card instead, and that is a real departure.
+
+The fields differ in kind, not just arrangement. Inventory edits a live product; this edits a proposal, beside the photographs and the sender's note that justify it, with a price input carrying a provenance label and a confirmation the ordinary editor has no concept of. Reusing the inventory form would mean threading all of that through it and making every field conditional, which grows the component that already works rather than the one being added.
+
+The cost is worth naming: two places now render an item's name, description and price, so a change to how items are edited has to be made twice. If the taxonomy pickers are added later, that argument gets stronger, and extracting a shared field set would be the moment to revisit this.
+
+## Not in this plan
+
+Category and tag editing. The draft records `ai_category_id` and `ai_tag_names`, and the fields are returned by the list endpoint so the screen can show them, but wiring the existing taxonomy pickers into this form is a second editor's worth of work and the screen is useful without it — an admin can set them from Inventory after publishing. Worth its own issue rather than doubling this one.
+
+The signed one-click action links from the email (#224). This screen is reachable without them, and #220 requires that publishing happen here regardless.
