Kayos 3c4c0c027d ux: recipe card click → modal overlay, preserves filters/scroll 
Cobb: 'new page resets all filters. bad flow.' Right.

Modal pattern:
- Click any .recipe-card anywhere → fetches /api/recipes/<slug>.json,
  opens a full-screen-on-mobile / centered-on-desktop modal
- The underlying recipes page (search query, sort chip, category chip,
  scroll position) stays put
- Browser back button closes the modal (history.pushState + popstate
  listener)
- /recipes/<slug> still works server-side as fallback for direct links
  and shared URLs (no auto-modal-open on page load)

Implementation:
- New endpoint GET /api/recipes/<slug>.json — same data the detail page
  used, plus a public_url field for the 'in mealie ↗' deep link
- Modal HTML lives in _base.html so it's available everywhere
- Click delegate at document level catches .recipe-card clicks app-wide;
  Mushroom button click bubbles back out (skipped) so pin toggle still
  works without opening the modal
- Modal contains: title bar (sticky), scrollable body (recipe meta pills,
  description, ingredients ticked list, numbered instructions), sticky
  footer with pin button + 'in mealie' link
- Pin button in modal syncs the matching card's picked state on close so
  the grid reflects the change without a refetch

Mobile:
- Modal slides up from bottom, takes full viewport-1 of height
- Close button is 40px circle, top-right
- backdrop-blur 6px, body scroll-locked while open
- Tap outside the modal card → close (e.target === backdrop check)
- Esc key closes
- Cmd/Ctrl/Shift/middle-click still opens in new tab (don't intercept)

Desktop:
- Modal centered, max-width 720px, max-height 86vh
- Backdrop has 30px padding so the card has breathing room

README.md

cauldron

Mealie-backed AI meal planner + shopping list for the family. LAN-only, internal tool. Mealie at recipes.sulkta.com is the source of truth for recipes / meal plans / shopping lists; cauldron is the AI layer + Abby's branded UI on top.

Status

v0.1 — backend bones (current). Ingredient sterilizer endpoint working. No UI yet; bearer-auth API only. Frontend + Authentik OIDC arrives in v0.2. Native Kotlin Android in v0.5.

Surface (v0.1)

GET  /healthz                              liveness + clawdforge upstream
GET  /api/recipes                          list Mealie recipes (paginated)
POST /api/sterilize/preview/<slug>         dry-run AI parse, return proposals
POST /api/sterilize/apply/<slug>           write parses back to Mealie

All routes except /healthz require Authorization: Bearer <ADMIN_BEARER>.

Architecture

Abby's phone (later: Kotlin app)
        │
        ▼
  cauldron (Flask, port 7790, LAN-only)
   ├─ Mealie API client  ─── recipes.sulkta.com  (source of truth)
   ├─ clawdforge client  ─── 192.168.0.5:8800   (claude -p runner)
   └─ Authentik OIDC (v0.2)

cauldron does NOT hold its own database in v0.1 — all state lives in Mealie. A small Postgres/MariaDB schema lands in v0.2 for Abby-specific prefs + chat history.

Ingredient sterilizer

Mealie's CRF parser is mediocre. Cobb's hand-typed recipes have lots of free-form quantity strings ("about 2 cups cooked white rice", "1 small handful kale", "a pinch of salt") that don't aggregate cleanly into a shopping list.

The sterilizer batches all ingredients of one recipe into a single Sonnet call (via clawdforge), gets back parallel structured parses, then on apply links each parse to existing Mealie food/unit records (creating any missing by name) and PUTs the recipe back.

Preview is non-destructive — review proposals before apply.

# Dry-run preview
curl -sS -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_BEARER" \
  http://192.168.0.5:7790/api/sterilize/preview/spaghetti-bolognese | jq .

# Apply (creates missing foods/units by default)
curl -sS -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_BEARER" \
  http://192.168.0.5:7790/api/sterilize/apply/spaghetti-bolognese | jq .

Deploy

  1. ssh lucy
  2. cd /mnt/user/appdata && git clone <gitea-url> cauldron && cd cauldron/build (or wherever the deploy convention lands)
  3. Drop .env at /mnt/cache/appdata/secrets/cauldron.env (chmod 600 root:root)
    • CLAWDFORGE_TOKEN is already populated by the bootstrap (see memory/2026-04-28.md)
    • MEALIE_API_TOKEN — mint at recipes.sulkta.com → user → API tokens
    • ADMIN_BEARER — pick 32 bytes of entropy
    • SECRET_KEY — 32 bytes for Flask sessions
  4. docker compose up -d --build
  5. Smoke: curl http://192.168.0.5:7790/healthz

Roadmap

  • v0.1 ✓ — sterilizer backend + Flask shell
  • v0.2 — Authentik OIDC, Abby-branded web UI, palette CSS, postgres for prefs
  • v0.3 — meal plan generator (week → Mealie meal plan write)
  • v0.4 — shopping list aggregator (read meal plan → consolidated grocery list)
  • v0.5 — native Kotlin + Compose Android app (read-only shopping list + plan view)
