Evergreen farms (pos)

1. Safety & Regressions Analysis
evergreen_pos_be (Backend):

faq.service.js: Removed the .filter(cat => cat.faqs.length > 0) constraint so newly created categories appear on the storefront even before FAQs are published. This is safe and expected because categories with zero FAQs will display a clean empty state or allow filtering without crashes.
faqValidation.js: Reduced minimum message length from 5 to 3 characters for the customer help form. This prevents valid short queries (such as "why", "help", "order") from being rejected.
Risk: Negligible. All tenant boundaries, honeypots, rate limiters, and schema protections remain strictly enforced.
evergreen_pos_fe (Admin Frontend):

Sidebar/index.tsx: Added FAQ Categories (/faq-categories) under the Trust section next to Store FAQs and FAQ Enquiries.
FaqCategoriesPage.tsx: Redesigned the Add/Edit Category modal with pixel-perfect alignment to the wireframe (custom border styling, inline active switch, cancel/save button states).
Risk: None. Uses established design tokens and existing router bindings.
evergreenpos_E-commerce_new (Storefront):

api.ts & faqApi.ts: Exported api default and used type-only imports (import type { ... }) to avoid Vite runtime module export resolution errors.
FaqPage.tsx & FaqAccordion.tsx: Integrated live/static mapping, single-open accordion behavior with Lucide <ChevronDown /> rotation, clean mobile navigation (removed redundant back/title header), elevated the floating "Ask a Question" button (bottom-20), and tightened the vertical gap between search bar and questions.
Risk: Low. If backend is unreachable or empty,

faqDataMapper.ts
safely backfills store-aware defaults.
2. Redmine Task Update
Bug or feature: E-commerce FAQ Module - Live/Static Data Mapping, Admin Category CRUD & Responsive UX Fixes Fix:

Dynamic Storefront Data Mapping & Fallback:
Implemented faqDataMapper.ts to dynamically map live backend FAQs with fallback store-aware defaults (incorporating store pickup, free delivery minimums, company contact info, and rewards points).
Ensured all active categories from the database appear immediately on the storefront pill bar.
Decoupled type exports into faq.types.ts with explicit type-only imports to resolve Vite/esbuild module resolution errors.
Storefront Responsive UI & Mobile UX:
Updated FaqAccordion.tsx to enforce single-open expansion behavior and replaced plaintext arrows with animated Lucide ChevronDown icons.
Removed duplicate in-page mobile headers and local breadcrumbs in FaqPage.tsx, allowing the global Header.tsx and AutoBreadcrumbs.tsx to handle top navigation cleanly.
Tightened vertical spacing between search input and accordion items.
Elevated the mobile floating action button (Ask a Question) above the bottom tab navigation bar and updated its icon to Lucide MessageSquarePlus.
Compacted FaqHelpForm.tsx on mobile with a responsive 2-column layout and reduced textarea rows to keep the "Send message" button fully visible without scrolling.
Admin Portal Enhancements:
Added direct navigation for FAQ Categories (/faq-categories) under the Admin Trust sidebar menu.
Updated the Add/Edit Category modal in FaqCategoriesPage.tsx to match the exact design wireframe with custom inline active toggle and emerald action buttons.
