Interface
Props define how consuming screens configure component behavior, display, and interaction.
| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | Yes | Current search text used to filter component records. |
| results | ComponentRecord[] | Yes | Filtered component records displayed in the panel. |
| onSelect | (componentId: string) => void | Yes | Callback fired when a user selects a result using pointer or keyboard interaction. |
State
State records clarify what the component owns internally versus what should be controlled by parent features.
numberTracks which search result is currently active for keyboard navigation.
booleanControls panel visibility.
Contract
API documentation keeps component behavior aligned with backend expectations and failure states.
/api/components/search
GET
{ query: string; status?: string; category?: string }
{ results: ComponentRecord[]; total: number }
Initial implementation will use local filtering. Firestore-backed querying will be introduced later.
Decision Log
This timeline captures why decisions were made, who made them, and what level of impact they carry.
SearchCommandPanel should be fully usable without a mouse or trackpad.
Rationale: Command panels are power-user interfaces. Keyboard support is central to the expected interaction model.

Keyboard-first command panelSelectedBuild the search panel around keyboard navigation, active state, and escape behavior.

Pointer-first dropdownBuild a simpler dropdown interaction optimized for pointer selection.

Choice made: Prioritize keyboard navigation

Search results must clearly distinguish loading, empty, and error states.
Rationale: Ambiguous search feedback creates uncertainty and makes debugging data issues harder for engineering teams.
