## 1. Overview
World Monitor uses a **config-driven panel system** where every dashboard tile — from live news feeds to AI insights to market data — is declared as a `PanelConfig` entry inside a variant-specific configuration object. The system is designed around three principles:
1. **Variant isolation** — Each site variant (`full`, `tech`, `finance`) declares its own panel set with variant-appropriate display names and priorities. The build-time environment variable `VITE_VARIANT` selects which set is exported.
2. **User customization** — Users can toggle panel visibility, reorder panels via drag-and-drop, and resize panels via a drag handle. All preferences persist to `localStorage`.
3. **No framework** — Panels are vanilla TypeScript classes extending a shared `Panel` base class. There is no React/Vue/Angular; DOM construction and updates are imperative.
### Variant Domains

## 2. Panel Configuration
### 2.1 PanelConfig Type
Every panel is described by a `PanelConfig` object defined in [`src/types/index.ts`](../src/types/index.ts):
```typescript
export interface PanelConfig {
name: string; // Display name shown in panel header and settings modal
enabled: boolean; // Whether the panel is visible (toggled by user)
priority?: number; // 1 = core (shown early), 2 = supplementary (shown later)
}
```
- **`name`** — Variant-specific. The same panel ID (e.g. `map`) can have different display names across variants: *"Global Map"* (full), *"Global Tech Map"* (tech), *"Global Markets Map"* (finance).
- **`enabled`** — Defaults to `true` for all shipped panels. Users can disable panels via the Settings modal; the toggled state is persisted.
- **`priority`** — Informational grouping. Priority 1 panels are considered core to the variant's mission; priority 2 panels are supplementary. This does not affect rendering order—order is determined by declaration order in the config object and user drag-and-drop overrides.
### 2.2 Variant Selection
Panel sets are selected at build time via the `SITE_VARIANT` constant (derived from `VITE_VARIANT` env var):
```typescript
// src/config/panels.ts — variant-aware exports
export const DEFAULT_PANELS =
SITE_VARIANT === 'tech' ? TECH_PANELS :
SITE_VARIANT === 'finance' ? FINANCE_PANELS :
FULL_PANELS;
export const DEFAULT_MAP_LAYERS =
SITE_VARIANT === 'tech' ? TECH_MAP_LAYERS :
SITE_VARIANT === 'finance' ? FINANCE_MAP_LAYERS :
FULL_MAP_LAYERS;
export const MOBILE_DEFAULT_MAP_LAYERS =
SITE_VARIANT === 'tech' ? TECH_MOBILE_MAP_LAYERS :
SITE_VARIANT === 'finance' ? FINANCE_MOBILE_MAP_LAYERS :
FULL_MOBILE_MAP_LAYERS;
```
Vite tree-shakes the unused variant objects from the production bundle.
### 2.3 VariantConfig Interface
Each variant file exports a full `VariantConfig` object:
```typescript
// src/config/variants/base.ts
export interface VariantConfig {
name: string; // 'full' | 'tech' | 'finance'
description: string; // Human-readable variant description
panels: Record<string, PanelConfig>; // Panel ID → config
mapLayers: MapLayers; // Desktop default layer toggles
mobileMapLayers: MapLayers; // Mobile default layer toggles
}
```
The variant config also defines its own `FEEDS` object (`Record<string, Feed[]>`) mapping panel IDs to their RSS feed sources. Feeds that don't have a registered panel ID result in auto-generated `NewsPanel` instances (see [Panel Lifecycle](#10-panel-lifecycle)).
### 2.4 Storage Keys
All persistence keys are centralized in `STORAGE_KEYS`:
```typescript
// src/config/variants/base.ts (also re-exported from src/config/panels.ts)
export const STORAGE_KEYS = {
panels: 'worldmonitor-panels', // Panel visibility toggles
monitors: 'worldmonitor-monitors', // Monitor keyword configs
mapLayers: 'worldmonitor-layers', // Map layer toggles
disabledFeeds: 'worldmonitor-disabled-feeds', // Per-source feed disabling
} as const;
```
Additional keys used outside `STORAGE_KEYS`:
| Key | Purpose | Managed By |
|-----|---------|------------|
| `worldmonitor-panel-spans` | Panel height/span sizes (1–4) | `Panel.ts` |
| `panel-order` | Drag-and-drop panel ordering | `App.ts` |
| `worldmonitor-variant` | Last-active variant (triggers reset on change) | `App.ts` |
| `worldmonitor-panel-order-v1.9` | Migration flag for v1.9 panel layout | `App.ts` |
### 2.5 Monitor Colors
The monitor palette provides 10 fixed category colors used for user-defined keyword monitors:
```typescript
export const MONITOR_COLORS = [
'#44ff88', '#ff8844', '#4488ff', '#ff44ff', '#ffff44',
'#ff4444', '#44ffff', '#88ff44', '#ff88ff', '#88ffff',
];
```
These colors are theme-independent and persist alongside monitor definitions in `localStorage`.

## 3. Panel Base Class
All panels extend the `Panel` class defined in [`src/components/Panel.ts`](../src/components/Panel.ts) (440 lines). This base class provides the shared DOM structure, interaction patterns, and lifecycle methods.
### 3.1 Constructor Options
```typescript
export interface PanelOptions {
id: string; // Unique panel identifier (matches config key)
title: string; // Display name rendered in header
showCount?: boolean; // Show item count badge in header
className?: string; // Additional CSS class on root element
trackActivity?: boolean; // Enable "new items" badge (default: true)
infoTooltip?: string; // HTML content for methodology tooltip (ℹ️ button)
}
```
### 3.2 DOM Structure
Every panel renders the following DOM tree:
```
div.panel[data-panel="{id}"]
├── div.panel-header
│ ├── div.panel-header-left
│ │ ├── span.panel-title ← Display name
│ │ ├── div.panel-info-wrapper ← (optional) ℹ️ tooltip
│ │ └── span.panel-new-badge ← (optional) "N new" badge
│ ├── span.panel-data-badge ← live/cached/unavailable indicator
│ └── span.panel-count ← (optional) item count
├── div.panel-content#${id}Content ← Main content area
└── div.panel-resize-handle ← Drag-to-resize handle
```
### 3.3 Features
| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **Drag-to-resize** | Bottom handle supports mouse + touch. Height maps to span classes (`span-1` through `span-4`). Double-click resets to default. |
| **Collapsible** | Click header to toggle `hidden` class on content (handled by CSS). |
| **Loading state** | `showLoading(message?)` renders a radar sweep animation with text. Shown by default on construction. |
| **Error state** | `showError(message?)` renders error text. `showConfigError(message)` adds a "Open Settings" button (Tauri desktop). |
| **Data badge** | `setDataBadge(state, detail?)` shows `live`, `cached`, or `unavailable` with optional detail text. |
| **New badge** | `setNewBadge(count, pulse?)` shows a blue dot with count in the header. Pulses for important updates. |
| **Count badge** | `setCount(n)` updates the numeric count in the header (when `showCount` is enabled). |
| **Info tooltip** | Hover/click on ℹ️ icon shows methodology explanation. Dismissed on outside click. |
| **Throttled content** | `setContentThrottled(html)` buffers DOM writes to one per animation frame (PERF-009). |
| **Header error state** | `setErrorState(hasError, tooltip?)` toggles a red header accent for degraded panels. |
### 3.4 Span System (Sizing)
Panel height is quantized into 4 span levels:
| Span | Min Height | CSS Class | Description |
|------|-----------|-----------|-------------|
| 1 | default | `span-1` | Standard single-row height |
| 2 | 250px | `span-2` | Medium — 50px drag triggers |
| 3 | 350px | `span-3` | Large — 150px drag triggers |
| 4 | 500px | `span-4` | Extra-large — 300px drag triggers |
Span values are persisted per-panel in the `worldmonitor-panel-spans` localStorage key as a JSON object `{ [panelId]: spanNumber }`.
### 3.5 Public Methods
| Method | Signature | Description |
|--------|-----------|-------------|
| `getElement()` | `(): HTMLElement` | Returns the root DOM element |
| `show()` | `(): void` | Remove `hidden` class |
| `hide()` | `(): void` | Add `hidden` class |

### 8.5 Mobile Layer Strategy
Mobile defaults enable fewer layers to preserve performance on constrained devices. The pattern:
- Each variant enables ~5 layers on mobile (vs 10–11 on desktop)
- Environmental critical layers (`natural`, `outages`) are always on
- Variant-signature layers stay on (e.g. `startupHubs` for tech, `stockExchanges` for finance)
- Heavy overlay layers (`cables`, `pipelines`, `weather`) are off by default on mobile

## 9. Panel Persistence
All user preferences survive page reload via `localStorage`. The following table enumerates every persisted setting:
### 9.1 Persistence Map
| Setting | localStorage Key | Format | Default Source | Survives Reload |
|---------|-----------------|--------|----------------|:--------------:|
| Panel visibility | `worldmonitor-panels` | `Record<string, PanelConfig>` JSON | `DEFAULT_PANELS` | ✅ |
| Panel ordering | `panel-order` | `string[]` JSON | Config declaration order | ✅ |
| Panel sizes/spans | `worldmonitor-panel-spans` | `Record<string, number>` JSON | All span-1 | ✅ |
| Map layer toggles | `worldmonitor-layers` | `MapLayers` JSON | `DEFAULT_MAP_LAYERS` | ✅ |
| Monitor keywords | `worldmonitor-monitors` | `Monitor[]` JSON | `[]` | ✅ |
| Disabled sources | `worldmonitor-disabled-feeds` | `string[]` JSON | `[]` | ✅ |
| Active variant | `worldmonitor-variant` | Plain string | `SITE_VARIANT` | ✅ |
| Banner dismissal | `banner-dismissed` (sessionStorage) | Timestamp string | — | Session only |
### 9.2 Variant Change Reset
When the stored variant (`worldmonitor-variant`) differs from the current `SITE_VARIANT`, the App constructor performs a full reset:
```typescript
if (storedVariant !== currentVariant) {
localStorage.setItem('worldmonitor-variant', currentVariant);
localStorage.removeItem(STORAGE_KEYS.mapLayers);
localStorage.removeItem(STORAGE_KEYS.panels);
localStorage.removeItem(this.PANEL_ORDER_KEY);
localStorage.removeItem(this.PANEL_SPANS_KEY);
this.mapLayers = { ...defaultLayers };
this.panelSettings = { ...DEFAULT_PANELS };
}
```
This ensures users switching between variant domains (e.g. from worldmonitor.io to tech.worldmonitor.io) get a clean default experience for the new variant.
### 9.3 Full Reset
Users can clear all panel preferences by clearing `localStorage` for the domain. There is no in-app "reset to defaults" button — the variant change mechanism serves as an implicit reset.
### 9.4 Merge Strategy for New Panels
When the application adds new panels (in a code update), the saved panel order is merged with the current defaults:
1. Start with the saved order (from `panel-order` key)
2. Remove any panels that no longer exist in `DEFAULT_PANELS`
3. Find panels present in `DEFAULT_PANELS` but missing from saved order
4. Insert missing panels after the `politics` panel position (or at position 0)
5. Always place `monitors` panel last
6. Always place `live-news` panel first (CSS grid constraint — it spans 2 columns)
7. Always place `live-webcams` immediately after `live-news`
---
## 10. Panel Lifecycle
### 10.1 Initialization Flow
The panel lifecycle begins in `App.ts` constructor and flows through these phases:
1. **Config Loading** — `panelSettings` loaded from localStorage (or `DEFAULT_PANELS` on first visit / variant change)
2. **DOM Scaffolding** — `render()` builds the page shell including `#panelsGrid` container and settings modal
3. **Panel Instantiation** — `createPanels()` constructs all panel class instances and registers them in `this.panels` and `this.newsPanels`
4. **Grid Insertion** — Panels are appended to `#panelsGrid` in the resolved order (saved + merge)
5. **Drag-and-drop Binding** — Each panel element gets `makeDraggable()` handlers for reordering
6. **Visibility Application** — `applyPanelSettings()` calls `panel.toggle(config.enabled)` for every panel
7. **Data Loading** — `loadAllData()` fires parallel API calls; each handler updates its panel via `setContent()` / `setContentThrottled()`
8. **Refresh Scheduling** — Periodic refresh timers are set up per data source (2–60 min intervals)
### 10.2 Panel Type Hierarchy
```
Panel (base)
├── NewsPanel ← RSS-driven news feeds (most panels)
├── MarketPanel ← Live market tickers
├── HeatmapPanel ← Sector heatmap grid
├── CryptoPanel ← Cryptocurrency prices
├── CommoditiesPanel ← Commodity prices
├── PredictionPanel ← Polymarket predictions
├── EconomicPanel ← FRED economic indicators
├── MonitorPanel ← User keyword monitors
├── CIIPanel ← Country Instability Index
├── CascadePanel ← Infrastructure cascade analysis
├── GdeltIntelPanel ← GDELT intelligence feed
├── SatelliteFiresPanel← NASA FIRMS fire data
├── StrategicRiskPanel ← Risk score overview
├── StrategicPosturePanel ← Theater posture
├── UcdpEventsPanel ← UCDP conflict events
├── DisplacementPanel ← UNHCR displacement
├── ClimateAnomalyPanel← Climate anomaly data
├── PopulationExposurePanel ← Population exposure
├── InvestmentsPanel ← GCC investment tracker
├── LiveNewsPanel ← Breaking news aggregation
├── LiveWebcamsPanel ← Multi-stream webcam view

├── RegulationPanel ← Regulation dashboard
├── RuntimeConfigPanel ← Desktop runtime config (Tauri only)
├── OrefSirensPanel ← Israel alert sirens (full only)
└── StatusPanel ← System status (not in panel grid)
```
### 10.3 Auto-generated News Panels
`App.ts` iterates over all keys in the variant's `FEEDS` object. For any feed category that does not already have a manually instantiated `NewsPanel`, a new `NewsPanel` is created automatically:
```typescript
for (const key of Object.keys(FEEDS)) {
if (this.newsPanels[key]) continue; // Skip if already created
if (!Array.isArray((FEEDS as Record<string, unknown>)[key])) continue;
// If a data panel exists with this key, create a separate news panel with "-news" suffix
const panelKey = this.panels[key] && !this.newsPanels[key] ? `${key}-news` : key;
if (this.panels[panelKey]) continue;
const panelConfig = DEFAULT_PANELS[panelKey] ?? DEFAULT_PANELS[key];
const label = panelConfig?.name ?? key.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + key.slice(1);
const panel = new NewsPanel(panelKey, label);
this.attachRelatedAssetHandlers(panel);
this.newsPanels[key] = panel;
this.panels[panelKey] = panel;
}
```
This allows the finance variant to have paired panels like `markets` (data panel) + `markets-news` (RSS panel) without manual duplication.
### 10.4 Panel Toggle Flow
When a user clicks a panel toggle in the Settings modal:
1. `config.enabled` is flipped on the in-memory `panelSettings`
2. `saveToStorage(STORAGE_KEYS.panels, this.panelSettings)` persists to localStorage
3. `renderPanelToggles()` re-renders the toggle UI with updated checkmarks
4. `applyPanelSettings()` iterates all panels, calling `panel.toggle(config.enabled)`
5. The `Panel.toggle()` method adds/removes the `hidden` CSS class
### 10.5 Panel Destruction
Panels are destroyed when the App instance is torn down. The `Panel.destroy()` method removes global event listeners (tooltip close handlers, touch/mouse handlers for resize). Panel DOM elements are removed when their parent grid is cleared.
---
## 11. Adding a New Panel
Step-by-step guide to adding a new panel to World Monitor.
### Step 1: Define the Panel Config
Add the panel entry to the appropriate variant config in [`src/config/panels.ts`](../src/config/panels.ts):
```typescript
// In the FULL_PANELS (or TECH_PANELS, FINANCE_PANELS) object:
'my-panel': { name: 'My Panel', enabled: true, priority: 2 },
```
**Panel order matters** — panels are rendered in declaration order by default.
### Step 2: Create the Component Class
Create a new file in `src/components/`:
```typescript
// src/components/MyPanel.ts
import { Panel } from './Panel';
export class MyPanel extends Panel {
constructor() {
super({
id: 'my-panel',
title: 'My Panel',
showCount: true,
infoTooltip: 'Methodology: ...',
});
}
public async refresh(): Promise<void> {
this.showLoading();
try {
const data = await fetch('/api/my-data').then(r => r.json());
this.setContent(this.renderData(data));
this.setCount(data.length);
this.setDataBadge('live');
} catch (e) {
this.showError('Failed to load data');
this.setDataBadge('unavailable');
}
}
private renderData(data: unknown[]): string {
return `<div class="my-panel-content">...</div>`;
}
}
```
For RSS-based panels, use `NewsPanel` directly instead of creating a new class — just add feeds to the variant's `FEEDS` object and the panel will be auto-generated.
### Step 3: Register in App.ts
Import and instantiate the panel in the `createPanels()` method of [`src/App.ts`](../src/App.ts):
```typescript
import { MyPanel } from '@/components/MyPanel';
// Inside createPanels():
const myPanel = new MyPanel();
this.panels['my-panel'] = myPanel;
```
### Step 4: Wire Data Loading
Add a data loading task in `loadAllData()`:
```typescript
tasks.push({
name: 'myPanel',
task: runGuarded('myPanel', () => (this.panels['my-panel'] as MyPanel).refresh()),
});
```
### Step 5: Add Refresh Interval (Optional)
If the panel needs periodic refresh, add a timer in `setupRefreshTimers()` referencing `REFRESH_INTERVALS`.
### Step 6: Add Map Layer (Optional)
If the panel has an associated map layer:
1. Add the boolean field to `MapLayers` in `src/types/index.ts`
2. Set default values in all variant layer objects in `src/config/panels.ts`
3. Handle the layer in `MapContainer`
### Step 7: Add i18n Key
Add a translation key in `src/locales/en.json` (and other locale files):
```json
{
"panels": {
"myPanel": "My Panel"
}
}
```
### Step 8: Register in Variant Configs
If using the variant config system (`src/config/variants/`), add the panel to the appropriate variant file(s) alongside feeds if applicable.
