# Created four islandflow dashboard mock routes

Built a live mock dashboard playground at `/mock1`, `/mock2`, `/mock3`, and `/mock4` so the reference layout can be evaluated with islandflow-specific structure, vocabulary, and data density.

Issue islandflow-4xb Next.js app Dashboard exploration

## Summary

Added four static-but-live-routed dashboard concepts that share mock market data, a scrolling ticker rail, synthetic chart and volume shapes, signal/event context panes, feed health, dark flow, and replay controls. The visible brand text touched in this turn now uses lowercase `islandflow`.

## Changes Made

- Added `apps/web/app/dashboard-mocks.tsx` as a shared mock dashboard component module.
- Added route pages for `/mock1`, `/mock2`, `/mock3`, and `/mock4`.
- Added mock dashboard CSS to `apps/web/app/globals.css`, including responsive grids, panel styling, semantic chips, synthetic chart marks, and a reduced-motion-safe ticker animation.
- Changed touched brand strings from `Islandflow` to `islandflow` in metadata and the navigation drawer.

## Context

The user provided a dense market dashboard reference and asked for four hosted options to feel out a possible main dashboard direction. The goal was exploration, not final production integration, so the mocks use deterministic local data while retaining islandflow’s evidence-console tone.

## Important Implementation Details

/mock1: Command Deck

Closest to the supplied reference, with option tape, chart, signals, health, dark flow, context, and replay rail.

/mock2: Investigation Stack

Centers the selected symbol story with a brief, chart, and persistent event context.

/mock3: Signal Wall

Prioritizes alert triage and cross-symbol scanning before chart inspection.

/mock4: Replay Lab

Makes replay/time context the first-class workflow surface.

### Representative route shape

    export default function Mock1Page() {
      return <DashboardMock variant="mock1" />;
    }

## Relevant Diff Snippets

The rendered diff below was generated with `@pierre/diffs/ssr`. It shows the representative lowercase brand metadata change; the larger dashboard mock and CSS additions are summarized above because they are several hundred lines of exploratory UI scaffolding.

## Expected Impact for End-Users

Users can open four alternate dashboard structures directly in the running web app and compare density, hierarchy, ticker behavior, context placement, and replay posture without affecting the existing production dashboard routes.

## Validation

- `bun --cwd=apps/web run build` passed and listed `/mock1` through `/mock4`.
- `bun test apps/web/app/routes.test.ts apps/web/app/terminal.test.ts` passed: 78 tests.
- Started the dev server at `http://localhost:3000`.
- Fetched `/mock1`, `/mock2`, `/mock3`, and `/mock4` with Bun fetch; all returned HTTP 200 and included lowercase islandflow branding.
- Attempted Browser plugin validation twice, but the in-app browser target list was empty and `iab` was unavailable.

## Issues, Limitations, and Mitigations

- The mocks use static sample data and CSS-drawn sparklines/charts. This is intentional for quick structure evaluation.
- The current route checks are HTTP/build/test based because the Browser connector exposed no active browser targets in this session.
- The CSS lives in the global stylesheet for speed. If a direction is chosen, it should be extracted into route-specific modules or shared dashboard components.

## Follow-up Work

- Pick one or two preferred structural directions and replace static rows with real terminal state data.
- Promote reusable pieces, such as ticker rail, event context, and replay rail, into production components.
- Run visual browser QA once the Browser connector is available again.
