1# Extension Implementation Status
2
3## Current State: DEBUGGING 🔧
4
5### What's Complete ✅
6
71. **Environment Configuration**
8 - Dev/prod builds with correct API URLs
9 - Build: `npm run build` (dev) or `npm run build:prod`
10 - Dev: `http://127.0.0.1:8888`
11 - Prod: `https://atlast.byarielm.fyi`
12
132. **Server Health Check**
14 - Extension checks if dev server is running (dev mode only)
15 - Shows "Server offline" state with instructions
16 - "Check Again" button to retry
17
183. **Authentication Flow**
19 - Extension checks `/session` endpoint on init
20 - Shows "Not logged in" state if no session
21 - "Open ATlast" button to log in
22 - "Check Again" to retry after login
23 - **User must be logged in to ATlast BEFORE using extension**
24
254. **Upload Flow** (matches file upload)
26 - Scan Twitter Following page
27 - POST to `/extension-import` (requires auth)
28 - Backend:
29 - Gets DID from session
30 - Creates `user_upload` entry
31 - Saves to `source_accounts` table
32 - Returns `uploadId`
33 - Opens `/results?uploadId={id}`
34 - Frontend searches and displays (same as file upload)
35
365. **CORS Permissions**
37 - Extension has host_permissions for:
38 - `http://127.0.0.1:8888/*`
39 - `http://localhost:8888/*`
40 - `https://atlast.byarielm.fyi/*`
41
426. **Cleanup Complete**
43 - ❌ Removed `extension_imports` table
44 - ❌ Removed `get-extension-import` function
45 - ❌ Removed `ExtensionImport.tsx` page
46 - ❌ Removed `/import/:id` route
47 - ❌ Removed `utils/import-store.ts`

49### What Needs Testing 🧪
50
511. **Full Flow Test**
52 ```bash
53 # 1. Start dev server
54 npx netlify-cli dev --filter @atlast/web
55
56 # 2. Build extension
57 cd packages/extension
58 npm run build
59
60 # 3. Load extension in Chrome
61 chrome://extensions/ → Load unpacked → packages/extension/dist/chrome/
62
63 # 4. Log in to ATlast
64 Open http://127.0.0.1:8888 → Log in
65
66 # 5. Go to Twitter
67 https://twitter.com/justadev_atlast/following
68
69 # 6. Open extension popup
70 - Should show "Ready to scan Twitter/X"
71 - Click "Start Scan"
72 - Wait for completion
73 - Click "Open in ATlast"
74 - Should open /results?uploadId={id}
75 - Results should load and search automatically
76 ```
77
782. **Error Cases to Test**
79 - Not logged in → should show login prompt
80 - Server offline → should show offline state
81 - Empty results → should show appropriate message
82 - Network errors → should handle gracefully
83
84### Current Issues 🐛
85
86**Fixed:**
87- ✅ NaN database error - Fixed missing `matchedUsers` parameter in `extension-import.ts` (node #287)
88- ✅ Database initialized successfully (node #288)
89- ✅ API response unwrapping - Fixed api-client to access ApiResponse.data field (nodes #290-295)
90 - Backend wraps responses in `{ success: true, data: {...} }`
91 - Extension was expecting flat response, causing undefined errors
92 - Fixed both `uploadToATlast` and `checkSession` functions
93
94**Active Testing:**
95- Ready for end-to-end testing with fixed upload flow
96- Extension should now properly redirect to results page
97
98### Next Steps 📋
99
1001. ✅ Build extension: `cd packages/extension && npm run build`
1012. ✅ Reload extension in Chrome
1023. ✅ Test login flow
1034. ✅ Test scan and upload
1045. ✅ Verify results page works
1056. Fix any bugs found
1067. Test production build: `npm run build:prod`
107
108### Architecture Notes 📝
109
110**Removed temporary import storage approach:**
111- Previously tried in-memory storage (doesn't work in serverless)
112- Then tried database storage with temp table (overkill)
113
114**Current approach:**
115- User logs in to ATlast FIRST
116- Extension requires authentication
117- Upload creates permanent records immediately
118- No temporary storage needed
119- Matches file upload behavior exactly
120
121**Why this is better:**
122- Simpler architecture
123- No temporary storage to expire
124- Proper user association from the start
125- Reuses existing upload/search infrastructure
126- Same flow as file uploads (consistency)
127
