Summary

Adds an AI-powered project estimation system where clients enter a natural-language project description and receive an instant cost/timeline estimate. No Firebase Cloud Functions required — runs entirely client-side using the Gemini API directly.

Supersedes #77, #79, #80, #81 (closed due to branch protection rules and iterative review feedback).

Architecture (two-phase design, no Cloud Functions)

Client (browser)
─────────────────
  1. Read PricingConfig from Firestore (falls back to built-in defaults)
  2. Send feature category NAMES to Gemini API for classification
     (AI never sees prices, multipliers, or formulas)
  3. computeEstimate(classification, pricingConfig) — deterministic
  4. Save result to Firestore estimations collection
  5. Display: features, cost range, timeline, explanation

The AI prompt receives only feature category names for classification — no prices, multipliers, or formulas. All cost/timeline/explanation generation is deterministic code in computeEstimate(). The Gemini API key is provided via VITE_GEMINI_API_KEY env var.

What's new

src/dashboard/services/estimationService.ts — Client-side estimation engine:

  • getPricingConfig() reads Firestore pricingConfig/default, merges with defaults, validates all numeric fields (prices >= 0, multipliers > 0, min <= max)
  • buildClassificationPrompt() sends only category names to Gemini (no prices)
  • validateClassification(data, allowedCategories) — strict type/enum/category validation rejects unknown categories
  • computeEstimate() — deterministic cost, timeline, and explanation generation
  • Empty AI response guard and userId validation before Firestore write

src/dashboard/pages/ProjectEstimation.tsx — Client estimation page:

  • Textarea form for free-form project descriptions
  • Animated results: project type, feature breakdown table, cost range, timeline, explanation
  • Expandable estimation history (accessible on all viewports including mobile)

src/dashboard/pages/PricingConfig.tsx — Admin pricing config page:

  • No hardcoded pricing in the frontend bundle — loads from Firestore
  • Access-denied handling for non-admin users (Firestore security rules)
  • Editable grid of feature prices, complexity multipliers, estimation rules

firestore.indexes.json — Composite index for estimations query (userId ASC + createdAt DESC)

Setup

  1. Add VITE_GEMINI_API_KEY=<your-key> to .env
  2. Deploy Firestore indexes: firebase deploy --only firestore:indexes
  3. Set Firestore security rules to restrict pricingConfig to admin-only access

Closes #76

…ic (#76)

- Add Firebase Cloud Function (analyzeProject) that reads pricing config
  from Firestore and calls Gemini API server-side, returning only safe
  client-facing data (features, complexity, cost range, timeline, explanation)
- Add ProjectEstimation dashboard page for clients to submit project
  descriptions and receive instant AI-generated cost estimates
- Add PricingConfig admin page to manage feature prices, complexity
  multipliers, and estimation rules in Firestore
- Add estimation history with expandable records
- Store all pricing logic, prompts, and formulas exclusively server-side;
  API responses never leak internal calculation data
- Add routes (/dashboard/estimation, /dashboard/pricing-config) and
  sidebar navigation entries
- Update firebase.json with functions configuration

…rministic pricing

- AI prompt now only performs feature extraction/classification with
  category names (no prices, multipliers, or formulas ever sent to AI)
- Cost calculation, timeline estimation, and explanation generation all
  happen deterministically server-side in computeEstimate()
- getPricingConfig() now merges Firestore data with defaults and
  validates numeric bounds to prevent partial/corrupt config
- validateClassification() performs thorough type/enum validation of
  AI output before any downstream processing
- No free-form AI text is returned to the client; explanation is built
  server-side from classification metadata

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
…store index

- getPricingConfig: validate all numeric fields, feature prices, and multipliers
- validateClassification: reject categories not in allowed pricing set
- Trim description server-side before validation
- PricingConfig.tsx: remove hardcoded DEFAULT_CONFIG with pricing values;
  load purely from Firestore with access-denied handling
- Add firestore.indexes.json with composite index for estimations query
  (userId ASC + createdAt DESC)

Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
…nt-side

- Remove functions/ directory entirely (Cloud Functions require Blaze plan)
- Install @google/generative-ai as frontend dependency
- Move AI classification + deterministic cost computation to client-side
  estimationService with same two-phase architecture:
  Phase 1: Gemini classifies features (sees category names only, never prices)
  Phase 2: Client computes costs deterministically from pricing config
- Pricing config read from Firestore with hardened validation and defaults
- API key provided via VITE_GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable
- Remove functions config from firebase.json, revert eslint ignores

…userId check

- Make History button visible on mobile (remove hidden sm:flex)
- Add empty response guard before JSON.parse of AI output
- Validate userId is non-empty before Firestore write

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds an AI-powered project estimation feature to the dashboard. A new estimationService.ts calls Google Gemini to classify project descriptions, computes cost/timeline estimates using Firestore-backed pricing, and persists results. Two new pages are added: ProjectEstimation (user-facing) and PricingConfig (admin). Shared types, routing, navigation, and a Firestore composite index are wired in.

Changes

AI Estimation & Pricing Config

Layer / File(s) Summary
Estimation types, Firestore index, and package dependency
src/dashboard/types.ts, package.json, firestore.indexes.json, firebase.json
Adds FeatureAnalysis, EstimationResult, and EstimationRecord interfaces; adds @google/generative-ai dependency; creates the estimations composite Firestore index (userId ASC, createdAt DESC) and registers it in firebase.json.
Estimation service: pricing config, Gemini integration, and cost computation
src/dashboard/services/estimationService.ts
Implements DEFAULT_PRICING constants, getPricingConfig() with Firestore read and validation fallback, buildClassificationPrompt(), validateClassification(), computeEstimate() with buffer/risk/clamping logic, analyzeProject() orchestrating the full Gemini call and Firestore write, and fetchEstimationHistory().
PricingConfig admin page
src/dashboard/pages/PricingConfig.tsx
New admin page that loads pricingConfig/default from Firestore, provides inline editors for feature base prices, complexity multipliers, and estimation rules, and persists changes via setDoc. Includes access-denied detection and reset/save controls.
ProjectEstimation UI page with history
src/dashboard/pages/ProjectEstimation.tsx
New user-facing page with ComplexityBadge, EstimationResults, and expandable HistoryItem sub-components. Manages form submission via analyzeProject, loads history via fetchEstimationHistory, and renders animated results and collapsible history.
Routing and navigation wiring
src/app/App.tsx, src/dashboard/components/DashboardLayout.tsx
Adds /dashboard/estimation and /dashboard/pricing-config child routes and corresponding NAV_ITEMS entries with Lucide icons (Sparkles, Settings2).

Inline comments:
In `@src/dashboard/pages/PricingConfig.tsx`:
- Around line 107-124: The handleSave function does not validate the pricing
configuration before saving, allowing invalid states (multipliers or risk
factors of 0, maximumProjectCost less than minimumProjectCost) to be saved but
silently ignored by the estimator service. Add validation logic in the
handleSave function that checks the config object for these invalid conditions
before calling setDoc: verify all multipliers are greater than 0 (referenced in
the code around lines 377-383), verify the risk factor is greater than 0
(referenced around lines 469-479), and verify that maximumProjectCost is greater
than or equal to minimumProjectCost (checked in the range 409-442). If
validation fails, set an appropriate error message and return early without
saving, ensuring admins receive immediate feedback about invalid configurations.

In `@src/dashboard/pages/ProjectEstimation.tsx`:
- Around line 120-123: The motion.tr element's key prop uses only feature.name
which can cause collisions when repeated feature names are returned by the AI,
leading to incorrect React reconciliation. Change the key prop from using just
feature.name to a composite key that combines feature.name with the idx
parameter from the map function (for example, by concatenating them or using
template literals) to ensure each row has a guaranteed unique identifier.

In `@src/dashboard/services/estimationService.ts`:
- Around line 380-385: The createdAt timestamp in the estimation document is
being set using the client-side new Date().toISOString() call, which allows
users to manipulate the timestamp by adjusting their local system clock. Replace
this client-side timestamp generation with Firestore's serverTimestamp()
function in the addDoc call for the estimations collection. This ensures all
timestamps are generated server-side and cannot be tampered with by users,
maintaining proper record ordering and data integrity.
- Around line 334-378: The userId validation check is being performed too late
in the execution flow, after expensive operations like pricing retrieval, Gemini
API calls via model.generateContent(), and estimate computation via
computeEstimate(). Move the userId validation guard to the very beginning of the
function, before calling getPricingConfig() and before initializing the
GoogleGenerativeAI instance, so that the function fails fast if the user is not
authenticated without incurring unnecessary costs from external API calls.
- Around line 39-77: The DEFAULT_PRICING constant in estimationService.ts
exposes sensitive internal pricing rules in the frontend bundle. Move the
DEFAULT_PRICING object and PricingConfig type definition to a backend
service/module instead of keeping it in the frontend code. Create a backend API
endpoint that returns the pricing configuration, then update
estimationService.ts to fetch the pricing data from this endpoint rather than
using the hardcoded constant. This ensures pricing logic remains server-side and
inaccessible to client inspection.
- Around line 327-339: The Gemini API key stored in VITE_GEMINI_API_KEY is
exposed to browser code, creating a security vulnerability where users can
extract and abuse the API quota and billing. Move the GoogleGenerativeAI
initialization and the genAI.getGenerativeModel call to a backend service or
server function that has secure access to the API key. Instead of directly
initializing GoogleGenerativeAI and calling the model in this client-side code,
refactor this to call a backend endpoint that handles the Gemini API requests.
The backend should accept the feature categories and other necessary parameters
from the buildClassificationPrompt call and return the classification results,
while the client-side code should make an HTTP request to this backend endpoint
instead of directly using the API key.
- Around line 169-191: The code casts untrusted JSON data to objects without
first verifying they are actually objects, which can cause unexpected TypeErrors
if data is null, a primitive, or array entries are null. Before casting data to
Record<string, unknown> and accessing its properties, add a check to ensure data
is a non-null object type. Similarly, within the loop iterating over
obj.features, check that each element f is a non-null object before casting it
to Record<string, unknown> and accessing its properties. These type guards
should occur before any property access to ensure validation errors are thrown
as intended.

The form accepts invalid configs that the estimator later discards silently.

At Lines 377-383 and 469-479, 0 is accepted for multipliers/risk factor; at Lines 409-442, no guard prevents maximumProjectCost < minimumProjectCost. In estimationService.ts, these states trigger fallback to DEFAULT_PRICING, so admins can “save” settings that never take effect.

Internal pricing rules are exposed in the shipped client bundle.

At Line 39, DEFAULT_PRICING embeds base prices/multipliers directly in frontend code, so any client can inspect and extract internal pricing logic. This breaks the stated client/admin separation objective.

Validation dereferences untrusted JSON before confirming object shape.

At Lines 169-191, data/f are cast and accessed directly. If Gemini returns null, a primitive, or array entries like null, this can throw runtime TypeError before your intended "Invalid ..." errors.

access to ensure validation errors are thrown as intended.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Gemini API key is treated as a client secret, but it is public at runtime.

At Line 327, VITE_GEMINI_API_KEY is consumed in browser code; users can extract it and abuse quota/billing. This call path needs a trusted backend boundary (server/function proxy) for key custody.

In `@src/dashboard/services/estimationService.ts` around lines 327 - 339, The
Gemini API key stored in VITE_GEMINI_API_KEY is exposed to browser code,
creating a security vulnerability where users can extract and abuse the API
quota and billing. Move the GoogleGenerativeAI initialization and the
genAI.getGenerativeModel call to a backend service or server function that has
secure access to the API key. Instead of directly initializing
GoogleGenerativeAI and calling the model in this client-side code, refactor this
to call a backend endpoint that handles the Gemini API requests. The backend
should accept the feature categories and other necessary parameters from the
buildClassificationPrompt call and return the classification results, while the
client-side code should make an HTTP request to this backend endpoint instead of
directly using the API key.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Auth is validated too late, after expensive external work.

At Line 376, userId is checked only after pricing read + Gemini inference + estimate compute. If userId is missing, you still pay the AI call and then fail. Move this guard before Line 334.

userId validation check is being performed too late in the execution flow, after
expensive operations like pricing retrieval, Gemini API calls via
model.generateContent(), and estimate computation via computeEstimate(). Move
the userId validation guard to the very beginning of the function, before
calling getPricingConfig() and before initializing the GoogleGenerativeAI
instance, so that the function fails fast if the user is not authenticated
without incurring unnecessary costs from external API calls.

History timestamp trusts client clock, weakening record integrity.

At Line 384, createdAt uses new Date().toISOString() from the browser. Users can skew local time and manipulate ordering/history consistency. Persist a trusted server-side timestamp and normalize on read.

createdAt timestamp in the estimation document is being set using the
client-side new Date().toISOString() call, which allows users to manipulate the
timestamp by adjusting their local system clock. Replace this client-side
timestamp generation with Firestore's serverTimestamp() function in the addDoc
call for the estimations collection. This ensures all timestamps are generated
server-side and cannot be tampered with by users, maintaining proper record
ordering and data integrity.

upstream/main added AI estimation (PR hrx01-dev#83) and admin RBAC (PR hrx01-dev#82) and
reverted the broken vite-plugin-ssg prerender step (PR hrx01-dev#87).

DashboardLayout conflict resolved: keep our Moon/Sun theme toggle imports
alongside upstream's Sparkles/Settings2 for the new nav items.

Install @google/generative-ai@^0.24.1 required by the new estimationService.

Closes hrx01-dev#71 — theme toggle is already implemented in both the sidebar and
mobile header of DashboardLayout; this merge makes it available to all
authenticated users on the latest codebase.
