The next-tier of structured planning constraints, building on the
free-form preference textarea. Now the household can set hard rules
like '2200 cal/day, 150g protein, no dairy or shellfish' and the
planner enforces them.
Schema (migrations 026 + 027):
- daily_targets_json on cauldron_meal_plans: {calories?, protein_g?,
carbs_g?, fat_g?} per-day budget. Sonnet sums per-recipe macros
across the 7-day plan and aims for ±15% of the weekly total.
- exclusions_json on cauldron_meal_plans: list of contains.* keys
(subset of {dairy, gluten, nuts, peanuts, eggs, shellfish, fish,
soy, sesame, pork}). Hard filter on AI-chosen slots; picks still
apply but get flagged with the conflict in their reason field.
DB:
- set_plan_targets_and_exclusions normalizes inputs (drops zeros,
validates against allowed enum values, lowercases).
- The plan_view path decodes the JSON columns server-side and adds
display labels (`targets_label`, `exclusions_label`) and the parsed
dict/list (`targets_dict`, `exclusions_list`) for the template.
Forge:
- generate_plan accepts daily_targets dict + exclusions list.
- New DAILY MACRO TARGETS prompt block — instructs Sonnet to sum
per-serving macros across all 7 slots and land within ±15% of
weekly totals; tradeoff slots when needed.
- New STRICT EXCLUSIONS prompt block — recipes whose has: list
intersects exclusions are forbidden in AI-chosen slots. Picks that
conflict still appear (explicit user choice) but get flagged in
the slot reason ("contains dairy — household pick").
Server:
- /api/plan/generate accepts {preference, targets, exclusions}.
Persists all three before kicking off Sonnet so re-rolls reuse them.
- /api/plan/regenerate same — empty body reuses persisted constraints.
UI (/plan):
- New <details> section "numeric targets + allergen exclusions
(optional)" tucked under the existing vibe textarea + presets.
- 4 numeric inputs (cal/protein/carbs/fat per day) with quick-set
preset chips: balanced 2200 / protein lean 2400 / carb load 2600 /
cut 1800 / clear.
- 10 allergen checkbox chips with red-pill styling when checked
(uses CSS :has(input:checked) — modern browsers).
- Hydration: persisted targets pre-fill the inputs, persisted
exclusions pre-check the boxes.
- After generation, three readouts above the action buttons show
active vibe / macros / exclusions.
Cobb's exact ask "2200 cal/day, protein and carb balanced, no dairy"
now maps to: targets={calories: 2200, protein_g: 150, carbs_g: 250}
+ exclusions=[dairy] + free-form preference (optional). All persist.
Re-rolls iterate within those constraints automatically.
