Cobb pass: more mobile friendly + infinite scroll + auto-search +
add-to-AI-plan picks list + mushroom vibes.
DB:
- New migration 005 — cauldron_meal_picks (authentik_sub, recipe_slug,
recipe_name, added_at). Per-user wishlist for the v0.3 AI meal-plan
generator. add/remove/list helpers in DB.
Backend:
- GET /api/recipes.json?page=N&q=Q — paginated + searchable, returns
{items, page, total, total_pages, next}. Each item is annotated with
picked: bool from the user's pick set.
- POST /api/picks/<slug> — add (slug + optional name body)
- DEL /api/picks/<slug> — remove
- GET /api/picks.json — list current picks
- GET /picks — picks page (replaces empty stub)
- Mealie.list_recipes() now accepts search=...
Frontend:
- recipes.html rebuilt:
- sticky search bar with 250ms debounce, hits /api/recipes.json?q=
- IntersectionObserver-driven infinite scroll, loads page+1 when the
sentinel comes into view (200px rootMargin, AbortController for
in-flight cancel on new search)
- per-card mushroom toggle button (top-right) — POST/DELETE to picks
with optimistic UI flip + rollback on failure
- picked cards get a left purple-glow stripe + tinted background
- _recipe_card.html partial — first-page server-render shares markup with
JS-rendered subsequent cards (mushroom SVG inline, same shape)
- recipe_detail.html — '🍄 pin for ai plan' button toggles state in place
- picks.html — list of current picks with remove button + v0.3 explainer
- Topbar nav: dropped /home, added /picks
Mushroom vibes:
- Hand-rolled SVG toadstool (purple cap, bone stem, dark spots) used as
the pick toggle icon — it's the gesture itself
- Same mushroom tiled into the body bg pattern at ~5% opacity in the
bottom-right of the 160px sigil tile, alongside the existing pentagram
- Mushroom emoji on the detail page button + picks page nudge
Mobile pass:
- Topbar nav scrolls horizontally on narrow screens, brand-sub hidden
under 720px, larger tap targets on cards, font-size pulled in slightly
- Recipe grid: 1 col <560, 2 col 560-900, 3 col 900+
- Page-head + button + card padding all tightened on small screens

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>.

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.

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)
