After live-testing the Telegram bot we hit limits that don't go away with
more menu polish (Markdown fragility, callback_data limits, no native
date pickers, awkward media UX). Pivot to a Next.js PWA installable on
the operator's phone; remove Telegram entirely.
Spec covers: service topology with bot codebase shrunk, no-auth access
stance with rate limiting + reverse-proxy gating, Server Actions
replacing public REST mutation endpoints, SSE for live updates, the new
web-side pair flow with live QR display, multi-step reminder wizard
backed by URL state, mobile-first shadcn/ui visual layer, PWA service
worker via @serwist/next, and a step-by-step plan to delete the existing
Telegram code first.
Inherits all confirmed values from the 2026-05-03 master spec.
Captures the validated design from the brainstorming session: two-service
topology (Next.js web + Node bot) communicating via Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY,
Baileys for WhatsApp, grammy for Telegram, pg-boss for scheduling, Drizzle
for the data model, and Docker/Gitea-registry deploy flow.
