Feature 1: AI product storage/shelf-life hint
- New API: gemini_product_hint → {location, expiry_days, reason}
- After opening the add form, Gemini suggests optimal storage and expiry
- Shown inline next to expiry estimate as a subtle AI badge with tooltip
- Also updates location buttons if AI suggests a different location
- Cached permanently in food_facts_cache.json (per name+lang)
Feature 2: AI-enriched shopping suggestions
- New API: gemini_shopping_enrich → adds tip field to each suggestion
- After bring_suggest renders, Gemini adds practical buying/storing tips
- Tips shown inline under each suggestion item in indigo italic text
- Cached per item list + lang in food_facts_cache.json
Feature 3: AI anomaly explanation
- New API: gemini_anomaly_explain → plain-language explanation
- '🤖 Spiega' button added to anomaly banners (when Gemini available)
- Explains in 2-3 conversational sentences why the discrepancy likely happened
- Replaces technical banner detail text with friendly explanation
- No caching (anomaly context is always specific)
Added _geminiAvailable global flag (false by default):
- Set in _initApp() from serverSettings.gemini_key_set after app loads
- Updated in syncSettingsFromDB() so it stays current if key is added later
Added _requireGemini() helper:
- Returns true if Gemini key is configured → proceed normally
- Returns false + shows a warning toast if key is missing → abort
Added _updateGeminiButtonState():
- Adds .header-btn-no-ai CSS class to Gemini button when key is missing:
greyed out, slight grayscale filter, amber dot badge in corner
- Updates button tooltip to explain what to do
- Removes class/restores normal appearance when key is present
All 6 AI entry points now call _requireGemini() as first line:
captureForAI() — AI product identification from scan page
captureForAIFormFill() — AI product fill in manual add form
scanExpiryWithAI() — AI expiry date reader
openRecipeDialog() — recipe generation dialog
generateRecipe() — recipe generation (direct call path)
quickRecipeSuggestion() — quick expiring-products recipe (→ chat)
showPage('chat') — Gemini chat page
Previously: user would click the button, camera would open, API call
would fail, and only THEN see an error message deep in the flow.
Now: blocked immediately at the entry point with a clear toast.
Instead of a fixed banner that covers the top of the page, the update
notification now replaces only the header title area (the centered title):
- .header-title content is swapped in-place with an animated pill:
⬆️ v1.x.x [Aggiorna] ✕
- Pulsing animation (header-update-pulse) draws attention without being
intrusive; camera and Gemini buttons stay exactly where they are
- [Aggiorna] button does window.location.reload()
- [✕] dismisses: for a release update stores publishedAt so it won't reappear;
for a server deploy simply restores title (reappears next 5-min check)
- Auto-restores after 60 s without marking as seen
- Removed the old fixed position:fixed banner entirely
CSS header fixes:
- .header-content: justify-content:flex-end so .header-actions (camera, Gemini)
naturally stays at the right edge as a flex child
- .header-title: removed overflow:hidden and text-overflow:ellipsis that were
clipping the version number; title stays absolutely centered
- Cleaned up unused max-width:none and margin:0 from previous broken attempt
Real-time webapp update detection:
- Added module-level _loadedVersion captured at page load (version in HTML header)
- _checkWebappUpdate() now has two checks:
1. webapp_version from server vs _loadedVersion: if different, the server was
updated since this page was loaded → show '🔄 Nuova versione disponibile' banner
2. GitHub latest release vs _loadedVersion (existing behaviour)
Different banner messages: deploy-changed shows simple reload prompt;
release-newer shows version + changelog link (same as before)
- TTL reduced from 6h to 5 min so updates are detected quickly
- _checkWebappUpdate() now also fires on visibilitychange so the user sees
the banner as soon as they return to the tab after a deploy
Header title centering:
- .header-content: remove max-width:600px, use position:relative + justify-content:center
- .header-title: position:absolute; left:50%; transform:translateX(-50%)
so the title is always at the exact center of the header regardless of
screen width or how many action buttons are on the right
- Added max-width:calc(100% - 200px) to prevent overlap with action buttons
on narrow screens
Spesa skeleton preloader:
- index.html: add stat-loading class to stat-spesa (was missing, other 3 had it)
- app.js showPage('dashboard'): add 'spesa' to the skeleton init array
- app.js loadShoppingCount(): remove stat-loading class after data loads
(like loadDashboard() does for the other 3 locations)
Webapp update banner:
- 'Vedi novità' link replaced with 'Aggiorna ora' button
- Clicking 'Aggiorna ora' does a hard page reload (?bust=timestamp)
which forces the browser to fetch the latest files from the server
- GitHub release URL kept as a small secondary 'novità' link
APK install conflict (kiosk + scale gateway):
- STATUS_PENDING_USER_ACTION: changed startActivity → startActivityForResult
(kiosk) / installConfirmLauncher.launch (gateway) so we get notified
if the system installer fails due to signature conflict
- On non-OK result from system installer: show AlertDialog offering to
uninstall, using UNINSTALL_REQUEST / uninstallLauncher
- STATUS_FAILURE_CONFLICT/INCOMPATIBLE: same uninstall flow
- After uninstall completes, install automatically retries with the
saved APK file (pendingInstallFile) — no manual re-download needed
- Gateway: also saves destFile to pendingInstallFile at download time
The function was wrapped as a named function expression (function foo(){})
which scopes the name 'foo' only to the function body, not the outer scope.
_initApp called setTimeout(_checkWebappUpdate, 6000) causing:
ReferenceError: _checkWebappUpdate is not defined
Fix: remove the (...) wrapper so it becomes a regular function declaration
visible to the entire module scope.
Fixes#7
APK install conflict:
- Replace ACTION_VIEW-based install with PackageInstaller.Session API (API 21+)
- PackageInstaller gives us the actual install status via BroadcastReceiver:
STATUS_PENDING_USER_ACTION → launch system confirmation dialog automatically
STATUS_SUCCESS → success toast
STATUS_FAILURE_CONFLICT/INCOMPATIBLE → show AlertDialog offering to
uninstall the old version (ACTION_DELETE) so user can re-download and install
- FileProvider no longer needed for install (still kept for other uses)
- Kiosk: derive target package from filename (gateway vs kiosk self-update)
Dashboard 0-flash:
- Replace hardcoded 0 in HTML stat-value spans with ... placeholder
- Add .stat-loading CSS class: shimmer skeleton animation (gradient sweep)
- showPage(dashboard): set ... + stat-loading before API call
- loadDashboard: remove stat-loading class and set real count after data arrives
- Add full-screen CSS preloader to webapp (fades out when _initApp completes)
- Defer _checkWebappUpdate() to 6s after app init so it does not compete
with startup API calls (fixes perceived slowness on first load)
- Switch update-check throttle from sessionStorage to localStorage (6h TTL);
use release published_at instead of version string for comparison, so the
banner correctly appears when a new release is published regardless of whether
the tag is a semver or the rolling "latest" tag
- PHP _isLatestVersion(): return true (do not suppress error reports) when
tag_name is non-semver (e.g. "latest") — was incorrectly blocking ALL reports
- Kiosk checkForUpdates(): show banner only when the release asset actually
contains an APK for the component; handle non-semver tag by treating it
as always-update (prevents silent no-op with rolling "latest" tag)
- Scale gateway checkForUpdates(): same non-semver fix; apkUrl now defaults
to empty and bails out if no matching APK found in assets (prevents 404 install)
in both PHP (api/index.php) and Scale Gateway (ErrorReporter.kt)
- Add _isLatestVersion() / _latestReleaseTag() / _appVersion() helpers in PHP;
skip GitHub issue creation if caller is not on the latest released version
- Add checkUpdate() PHP endpoint (GET api/?action=check_update, no auth required)
- Webapp (app.js): fetch check_update on load, show dismissible amber top-banner
when a newer GitHub release is available; auto-dismiss after 20 s
- Kiosk (KioskActivity.kt + activity_kiosk.xml): replace old JS bottom-banner with
native Android top-banner; real APK download via DownloadManager + PackageInstaller
- Scale Gateway (MainActivity.kt + activity_main.xml): same native top-banner
with checkForUpdates() / showNativeUpdateBanner() / triggerApkDownload() / installApk()
- submitUseAll() now detects opened packages: if current location has an opened pack, finishes only that; if exactly one opened pack exists elsewhere, uses it automatically; multiple opened packs → disambiguation modal
- quickUse() resets scale baseline on page open so stale weight doesn't immediately trigger auto-fill
- Expired alerts (dashboard + banner) now filter out freezer items within their safety window (level='ok')
- Review banner: conf unit quantity displayed as sub-unit total (e.g. 800g) instead of raw pack count; high-qty threshold evaluated on sub-unit volume to prevent '400 confezioni' nonsense
- Low-stock review banner gains 'È finito tutto' button → new bannerFinishAll() handler
- New _submitUseAllAt() helper and _showUseAllDisambiguation() modal
- New translation keys: toast_opened_finished, disambiguation_hint, disambiguation_all, banner_review_action_finish (it/en/de)
A partially-used fridge entry (e.g. 191 ml of milk) triggered a
'suspiciously low quantity' banner even when sealed packages of the
same product were present in another location (e.g. pantry).
Fix: before pushing a low-qty review alert, group all inventory rows
by product key (barcode, or name+brand fallback). If any sibling entry
for the same product has qty > 0 in a different row, skip the alert.
High-qty and suspicious package-size alerts are unaffected.
- Replace simple bar chart with full Anti-Waste Report Card
- Grade system (A+ to D) based on user's waste rate
- Dual comparison bars: user waste rate vs national average (IT/DE/US)
- Estimated monthly savings in money, meals saved, CO2 avoided
- 3-month trend mini chart with colour-coded bars
- Backend: getStats() now returns 3×30d buckets (used_30d, used_prev_30d, used_prev_60d, etc.)
- Real-world benchmarks: IT 22%/5.4kg/mo (REDUCE), DE 20%/6.5kg/mo (Eurostat), US 30%/9.2kg/mo (USDA)
- All labels fully i18n: 18 new antiwaste.* keys in it/en/de translation files
- Section is fully JS-rendered; HTML now just an empty container
- Convert LOCATIONS labels to use t('locations.*')
- Convert SHOPPING_SECTIONS labels to use t('shopping_sections.*')
- Convert CATEGORY_LABELS to use t('categories.*')
- Convert MEAL_PLAN_TYPES to use t('meal_plan_types.*')
- Convert WEEK_DAYS_SHORT to use t('days.*_short')
- Convert MEAL_TYPES to use t('meal_types.*')
- Convert MEAL_SUB_TYPES to use t('meal_sub.*')
- Convert meal-plan column headers to use translated meal_types
- Replace inline locLabels/LOC_LABELS with translated LOCATIONS object
- Fix shopping action buttons: bring_add_n, bring_add_selected, bring_adding, bring_added_*
- Fix recipe archive empty state
- Fix meal plan reset success toast
- Fix meal plan suggestion hint and screensaver display
- Fix settings save status messages (saved, saved_local, saved_local_error)
- Fix product edit form title
- Fix kiosk session phrases for screensaver counter
- Add cooking.expires_chip translation for expiry date format
- Add meal_plan section (reset_success, suggested_by)
- Add error.select_items for Bring shopping validation
- All strings now properly internationalized for EN/DE languages
- Banner: detect expired opened-products via effective shelf-life (opened_at +
estimateOpenedExpiryDays), not just raw expiry_date — fixes Fagioli/Panna case
- Banner: expired items show safety tip inline; danger-level items (fridge dairy,
meat, fish) get red banner + 'L'ho buttato' as primary button, 'Usa comunque'
demoted to grey; safety-ok/warning items keep original button order
- Banner: anomaly dismiss button now shows current inventory qty ('La quantità è
giusta (2 pz)') so the action is unambiguous
- AI: add callGeminiWithFallback() helper — tries gemini-2.5-flash first (separate
quota), falls back to gemini-2.0-flash; applied to all endpoints (expiry, chat,
identify, recipe non-streaming, shopping name classifier)
- AI: show friendly 'Quota AI esaurita' message instead of raw Gemini error string
- Cooking TTS: fix auto-speak broken since 'auto-speak removed' comment — each step
is now read automatically on navigate and on first step when entering cooking mode
- Cooking TTS: remove incorrect s.tts_enabled gate — _cookingTTS toggle is the only
gate; browser Web Speech API used by default without requiring Settings config
- Cooking TTS: timer fires '10 secondi rimanenti' warning at T-10s
- Cooking TTS: announce recipe completion ('Buon appetito!') on last step confirm
- i18n: add timer_warning_tts, recipe_done_tts, error.ai_quota keys (IT/EN/DE)
- CSS: add banner-expired-danger, banner-safety-* styles for unsafe expired items
- New API action bring_migrate_names: reads current Bring! list, matches
items against products DB, replaces specific names with shopping_name
(e.g. 'Mortadella IGP' → 'Affettato' with spec 'Mortadella IGP · Brand')
- New button in Bring! settings: 'Generalizza nomi lista Bring!'
with live status feedback (migrated / skipped / errors count)
- Auto-refreshes shopping list view after migration
Root cause: after scale auto-confirm fires submitUse(), the old code called
_cancelScaleAutoConfirm(false) which reset _scaleLastConfirmedGrams to null.
This allowed the scale (still showing the same reading) to start a new 10-second
stability+confirm cycle and trigger a second identical deduction.
JS fix:
- submitUse() now calls _cancelScaleTimersOnly() instead of
_cancelScaleAutoConfirm(false), preserving _scaleLastConfirmedGrams so the
same weight is rejected until the product is removed from the plate.
- _scaleStabilityVal reset to null so a genuinely new weight starts fresh.
- Duplicate API response (result.duplicate) silently ignored in the UI.
PHP fix (server-side safety net):
- useFromInventory() rejects a second 'out' transaction for the same product
within 12 seconds with { success: false, duplicate: true }.
This catches any client-side edge cases regardless of scale timing.
- inventory_use API now returns product_shopping_name in response
- showLowStockBringPrompt: uses generic shopping name (e.g. Affettato) as
Bring! item name, specific product name + brand as specification field
- addLowStockToBring: reads from window._lowStockName instead of arg
- Auto-add on depletion JS fallback: same generic-name pattern
- Deduplication check now tries both shoppingName and raw name
1. shopping_name compound-phrase map (computeShoppingName)
Add phraseMap checked against the full product name BEFORE the single-token
keyword loop. Prevents 'pane grattugiato' → 'Pane', 'panna da cucina' → 'Panna', etc.
Key new phrases:
- pane/pan grattugiato → Pangrattato
- panna da cucina / panna cucina / panna chef → Panna da cucina
- fette biscottate → Fette biscottate
- aceto balsamico / glassa balsamico → Aceto balsamico
- latte condensato/evaporato/vegetale/di soia/mandorla/avena/riso/cocco → specific
- prosciutto cotto → Prosciutto cotto
- farina di riso/mais/integrale → specific
- pasta fresca, zucchero di canna, acqua minerale/frizzante/gassata, brodo, …
Also added single-token safety-net entries: 'grattugiato'/'grattato'/'pangrattato'
→ 'Pangrattato', 'biscottate' → 'Fette biscottate'.
2. DB migration (sqlite3 UPDATE)
Re-classified 10 products that had wrong shopping_name:
Pane grattugiato → Pangrattato
Panna da cucina (×4) → Panna da cucina
Fette biscottate (×2) → Fette biscottate
Aceto balsamico (×3) → Aceto balsamico
Cleared 2 stale Gemini cache entries.
3. showLowStockBringPrompt (app.js)
When totalRemaining <= 0 (product fully depleted), skip the modal entirely.
The backend already auto-adds to Bring! on depletion; the JS only asks as a
fallback if that failed (fire-and-forget async, never blocks the UI).
The afterCallback (e.g. move-remainder modal, navigate to dashboard) is called
immediately without user interaction.
On Android WebView, window.speechSynthesis.getVoices() often returns empty
because the Web Speech API cannot enumerate the device's TTS voices.
This caused the kiosk to show 'nessuna voce offline è supportata'.
Changes:
- KioskActivity.kt: initialise Android TextToSpeech engine on startup;
expose speak(text, rate, pitch), stopSpeech() and isTtsReady() via
the existing _kioskBridge JavascriptInterface; release TTS in onDestroy.
- app.js (_speakBrowser): when _kioskBridge.speak is available, delegate
to it instead of using speechSynthesis — works even without offline voice
packs installed.
- app.js (_initBrowserTtsVoices): show 'Voce nativa Android (kiosk)'
in the voice dropdown when running inside the kiosk WebView.
- app.js (testTTS): use the bridge path when testing TTS inside the kiosk.
- Add shopping_name column to products table
- Add computeShoppingName() PHP auto-assign function:
* Curated keyword map: all salumi/cold cuts → 'Affettato'
* Bring! catalog back-translation: 'Latte di Montagna' → 'Latte'
* Fallback: first significant token capitalized
- Migrate all 210 existing products with auto-computed shopping_name
- saveProduct() auto-computes shopping_name on every create/update
- smartShopping() groups items by shopping_name: most urgent item is
representative, others listed as variants (e.g. 'Affettato' shows
Mortadella, Speck, Nduja, Salame, Prosciutto, Schinkenspeck as one row)
- _productOnBring() also checks shopping_name for Bring! match detection
- addToInventory auto-remove: uses shopping_name-based Bring! key
- useFromInventory auto-add: sends shopping_name to Bring! (not raw name),
specific product name goes into specification field
- Frontend renderSmartItem: shows shopping_name as title, specific
product name(s) in italic subtitle line below
- _syncOnBringFlags: matches on both name and shopping_name
getFinishedItems now:
- Computes total_in - total_out for every qty=0 row
- If balance <= unit threshold (e.g. <20g, <0.1 conf): product was
legitimately used up → silently DELETE, no banner shown
- Only if balance > threshold (unexpected zero): return to frontend
so banner asks user to verify
Banner detail now shows the expected residual qty so user understands
why the alert fired.
- useFromInventory: replace DELETE with UPDATE qty=0 when stock hits 0
(both normal path and use-all-locations path)
- listInventory: add WHERE quantity > 0 so qty=0 rows are invisible in
the regular inventory list
- New API actions: inventory_finished_items (query) and
inventory_confirm_finished (delete after user confirms)
- Banner: new 'finished' type (priority 600, above anomalies)
Shows: '{name} — è finito?' with two buttons
'Sì, è finito' → permanently deletes the qty=0 row
'No, ne ho ancora' → navigates to add-inventory form
- i18n: banner_finished_* and toast.product_finished_confirmed (it/en/de)
- DB migration: restored 75 auto-deleted products (last 30 days) as
qty=0 inventory rows so they appear in the banner queue
- Retry loop extended to 10s (50×200ms) for slow Android WebViews
- Show 'Nessuna voce disponibile' after timeout instead of infinite loader
- Show 'Voce non supportata dal browser' if speechSynthesis missing
- Reset to loading state on each settings open (fixes stale empty select)
- Add refresh button ↺ to force-reload voices manually
Chrome loads voices async — getVoices() returns [] on first call
and onvoiceschanged may fire before the handler is assigned (race).
Add fallback retry loop: poll every 200ms for up to 4s.
- Scadenze: rimuove 'in scadenza' dal banner (solo prodotti già scaduti)
- Consumo anomalo: spiega la media giornaliera, giorni dall'ultimo rifornimento
e direzione della discrepanza (più/meno del previsto) con contesto
- Quantità sospetta: messaggio specifico per caso (bassa/alta/conf insolita)
- Anomalia inventario: linguaggio naturale invece di jargon tecnico
phantom='hai più scorte del previsto', missing='hai meno scorte del previsto'
- API prediction: aggiunge days_since_restock, direction, tx_count
- confirmBannerPrediction: toast con info su ricalcolo previsioni
- Add generateRecipeStream() endpoint with real-time SSE status events
- Frontend generateRecipe() uses ReadableStream for live step updates
- Fix gemini-2.5-flash thinking model: disable thinkingBudget, raise maxOutputTokens to 4096
- Passo 2 is pure PHP heuristic (zero extra AI calls)
- Retry logic with live countdown on 429, fallback chain: 2.5-flash → 2.0-flash
- Pass all ingredients when meal plan is active (no limits)
- Add recipe-loading-msg element with CSS transition
- New API endpoint 'inventory_anomalies': detects items where stored qty
differs from tx history by >20% AND >50 units (phantom qty or missing qty)
- New API endpoint 'dismiss_anomaly': persists dismissal in anomaly_dismissed.json
- Banner system: new 'anomaly' type shown in dashboard alert banner
with 'Correggi' (opens edit) and 'Ok, ignora' (dismisses) buttons
- CSS: banner-anomaly style (orange gradient)
- Fix: lo zucchero azzerato (175g fantasma rimossi), aggiunto a Bring!
