Project Creation Flow - QA Fix Applied ✅

Issue Found

New projects were not initializing the extensionLinked field, causing the collector checklist to malfunction.

Root Cause

/api/projects/create endpoint was missing extensionLinked: false in the initial project document.

Impact

• Fresh projects had undefined for extensionLinked
• Collector AI couldn't properly detect extension status
• Checklist showed incorrect state
• Handoff tracking was broken for new projects

Fix Applied

File: app/api/projects/create/route.ts

Change: Added extensionLinked: false to project initialization:

// ChatGPT data
chatgptUrl: chatgptUrl || null,
// Extension tracking
extensionLinked: false,  // ✅ ADDED THIS
status: 'active',

Expected Behavior After Fix

New Project Creation:

1. User creates project
2. Project document includes extensionLinked: false
3. AI Chat page loads → Collector mode activates
4. Checklist displays:
   • ⭕ Documents uploaded
   • ⭕ GitHub connected
   • ⭕ Extension linked

Extension Linking:

1. User goes to Context page → "Link Extension"
2. User enters workspace path → clicks "Link Extension"
3. Backend updates extensionLinked: true
4. Checklist updates in real-time:
   • ⭕ Documents uploaded
   • ⭕ GitHub connected
   • ✅ Extension linked

AI Awareness:

1. AI receives project.extensionLinked: false (or true)
2. AI updates collectorHandoff.extensionLinked accordingly
3. Checklist state persists across sessions

Testing Checklist

• Create a new project
• Verify project has extensionLinked: false in Firestore
• Open AI Chat
• Verify checklist shows 3 items (all unchecked)
• Link extension via Context page
• Verify extensionLinked: true in Firestore
• Verify checklist updates to show extension linked ✅
