The benefits table — Benefit Name, Type, ID, Card Types, Effective Start/End, Hierarchy Level, Status — with pagination, and a detail overlay that opens on row click. The overlay carries its own Basic Info and Product Details tabs, an Approve / Reject / Add Comment / View Benefit Page action row, and matches the spec's exact behavior: fades in over 0.5s, closes on the X or an outside click, fades out over 0.25s. At this stage every row pointed at one shared placeholder record — the goal was proving the shell before writing real content into it.

benefit.html · benefit.css

The full parent — Base — benefit page in Published, view-only mode: status wizard, the persistent 370px sidebar with scroll-to-section navigation, and every content section from the spec — Basics, Card Types & Budget, Non-Effective Dated Changes, Attachments, Additional Language Support. "View benefit page" from the overlay lands here.

The headline feature — Create Extension — grew into the largest session by far: turning a static page into one that holds up under real interaction, then giving it real data and real validation.

• Create Extension clones the Base into a child (Ext. Lvl 1) benefit in Unsaved Draft state: same data, a new 7-digit ID, the page title suffixed, and the sidebar's Related Benefits hierarchy and count updated to reflect it.
• The logic file was split into shared.js (store, hierarchy helpers, view routing), menu.js, and benefit.js once the interaction surface got large enough to need it, per the plan's own instruction to do this split in Session 3.
• Every field became a live, editable input bound to a path in the benefit record, with deferred re-rendering so a keystroke doesn't fight its own DOM update.
• The Add New Tier modal was built to a Figma node that, on inspection, didn't match what it had been described as containing — flagged rather than guessed at, and rebuilt against the corrected node once supplied, including a rollback path so cancelling never leaves an orphaned Coverage row behind.
• Required-field validation: ~20 fields marked with an asterisk across Basics and Card Types & Budget, plus a minimum-one-Tier rule per group. Submitting with anything missing shows a sticky banner with a live count and marks every offending field — red outline, red label, red message — without disturbing Save Draft, which stays allowed to hold incomplete work on purpose. The same treatment was retrofitted onto the Add New Tier modal, which had been failing silently.
• Real dropdown data replaced the last placeholder option lists ("One, Two, Three, Four") across seven fields, consolidating duplicates into shared lists instead of keeping near-identical copies — Billed To, Entity to Bill, and Funded By all draw from one funding-entity list; Cost row and Non-Effective Dated Changes Billing Options share another.
• Additional Language Support's second tab went from a dead placeholder to a real button that adds a blank Português/Español entry; Attachments gained FAQs and Product Brochure / Flyer as upload-prompt tiles, visible only in edit mode; the sidebar now lists a "Group N" sub-item for each Card Types & Budget group, added and removed live as groups change.
• Several real bugs, root-caused rather than patched: a multiselect dropdown that wouldn't reliably close on an outside click (competing re-renders racing each other); chevron/calendar icons that looked clickable but weren't (padding reserved for the icon lived on the wrong element); date fields silently dropping keystrokes while editing an existing value (a full re-render was firing on nearly every keystroke, same class of mistake as the multiselect bug but a different trigger); view-mode multiselect fields losing their bordered box entirely; error messages breaking a row's alignment because the field's border didn't expand to contain them; and three checkboxes (Serviced by VCES, Issuer Sourced, Insurance Benefit) silently reverting on submit because they'd never been wired to the data model at all.
• Later cleanup passes: a delete affordance on Cost rows, Coverage's Currency dropdown removed and its Remove button pulled inline, Coverage Type defaulted to "Spend-based" and moved to the top of its list, independent backgrounds for each Card Types & Budget group with one de-duplicated "+ Add" button, and the unused Global/Hurdle/MCG summary row removed from Qualification.

The literal scope — a blank New Benefit page — turned out to be the smallest part of it once editing an already-published benefit and a full document upload workflow got folded in.

• New Benefit now builds a genuinely blank benefit — every Basics field empty, a fresh random 7-digit ID, Unsaved Draft — with one blank Card Types & Budget group present from the start rather than an empty section the user has to click into existence. Every dropdown that starts empty (Currency, Funded By, Core/Optional) shows a real "Select..." placeholder instead of silently defaulting to whatever option happened to be first in its list.
• Edit now actually works on a Published, Pending Approval, Rejected, or Expired benefit — a button that had no click handler at all until this session. The status badge and wizard keep showing the real status throughout the edit; Submit correctly moves it to Pending Approval and drops back to view-only by default afterward, matching the spec's own rule for that status. Cancel needed zero new code — it already discarded any in-progress edits for free, since it just navigates away without ever writing to storage.
• Two bugs that predated this session, found while testing the above: Benefit Category had been silently rendering as a plain text field since early in the build, even though the real 11-category CLAUDE.md list already existed in data.js, just never wired up; and creating an extension from an extension doubled the name ("...Ext. Lvl 1: Ext. Lvl 1") because hierarchy level was hardcoded to always resolve to "Ext Lvl 1" and the name-suffix stripping only recognized ": Base". Generalized to handle Base → Ext Lvl 1 → Ext Lvl 2 correctly, and Create Extension now correctly disappears on a grandchild page, per the spec's own rule that extensions can't go a level deeper than that.
• Document upload: a three-state overlay (select a name → "Upload in progress..." → success) built from three separate Figma nodes, with a 0.2s crossfade between states and a 1.2s hold on the uploading state. Wired to both "+ Upload Document" (blank) and "Replace" (pre-filled with the current name) on any of the five fixed document categories. "Delete" now clears the filename rather than removing the slot, so all five categories stay present in edit mode and only the named ones show in view mode. Every additional language's own document list is kept in sync automatically — gaining or losing a category the instant it's named or cleared in the main Attachments list, recomputed fresh on every render rather than manually threaded through each individual upload/replace/delete action.

data.js · menu.js

Every row across the Benefits menu's full run of pages now carries its own realistic Bradesco-context record — a distinct name, benefit type, ID, card-type assignment, hierarchy level, status, and pair of effective dates — rather than one shared placeholder repeated down the table.

• Status and date logic follows an explicit rule set rather than being picked freely: Pending Approval rows always start after today's date (07/04/2026); Expired rows always ended on or before 07/05/2026; everything else reads as currently live, with its end date still ahead. Unsaved Draft is deliberately never used here — an unsaved draft is destroyed the moment its editor navigates away, so by definition it could never survive to appear in a menu.
• A style pass, prompted by review: the first working version had every page's Published badges clustered at the top of the table. Reordered so status reads as a naturally occurring mix on every page, not a sorted block.
• A second pass, also prompted by review, gives the menu's later pages their own distinct row ordering rather than reading as an obvious echo of the earlier ones — a small seeded shuffle keyed to the page number, so a given page's order is fixed and identical every time it's revisited, but different from every other page's.
• Fixed a real, previously invisible pagination bug surfaced while wiring this up: clicking a page number updated the pager control itself but never actually re-rendered the table underneath it — goToPage() was calling renderPagination() but not renderBenefitRows().
• Every row still opens a working detail overlay on click; the overlay's own content becomes unique to each benefit in Session 6.

Scoped as "give every overlay its own data" and grew into the session that made hierarchy, and the decision workflow around it, actually real — a mid-session redirect: rather than independent benefits with invented Basic Info content, several of them were redesigned into genuine Base → Ext Lvl 1 → Ext Lvl 2 families, and Approve / Reject / Add Comment went from static buttons to a working decision loop.

• Every benefit in the menu now carries its own real overlay data — version history, an interaction history with occasional comments, and package assignments — instead of silently inheriting the flagship's unrelated content through the placeholder-spread mechanism. Comments are always present on a Rejected entry (a rejection needs a stated reason) and occasional on an approval; most history lines carry none.
• Real hierarchy families, not just Base records: a good number of them now form actual Base → Child → Grandchild trees and sibling sets — LatAm Airport Lounge and Grocery Cashback each grow a full three-generation line, Global Travel Insurance and Fuel Discount Program each grow sibling Ext Lvl 1 children (Fuel Discount's Business Fleet child has its own grandchild besides). Building this meant retiring some of Session 5's standalone concepts to make room for the new family members.
• A real bug found while wiring the schematic up: the "Relationship Hierarchy" tree is supposed to always root at the ultimate Base, but a grandchild's root label was actually pulled from its immediate parent's name — invisible for a two-generation family, wrong the moment a third generation existed. Fixed by tracking baseBenefitName the same way baseBenefitId already was, rather than reusing the immediate-parent field.
• Two more fixes, caught in review: the schematic's currently-viewed benefit is now medium-weight at whatever depth it actually sits at (previously only the root ever read as emphasized, regardless of which benefit was open) — and along the way, giving the current node real weight surfaced a second bug for free, since font-weight inherits: a current Base's 500-weight was bleeding down onto its own non-current children until the child tree got its own explicit baseline. Separately, interaction history now sorts newest-first via a real stable date sort rather than array order, since the flagship's original data was already newest-first while every new record had been authored oldest-first — a blind reverse would have fixed one and broken the other.
• Product Details tab, populated across the board: a tier table per benefit (random 3-digit tier IDs, names generated from the benefit's own type so "Fuel Rewards Tier 1" always reads as fuel-related), costs at two decimal places throughout — including a retroactive fix to the flagship's own pre-existing three-decimal figures — and real currency variety: mostly BRL, with the Cayman Islands, Guatemala, Mexico, and Argentina family members priced in their own implied currency instead of defaulting everything to Brazil.
• Approve, Reject, and Add Comment now work, built from two Figma nodes: a shared modal (icon, title, and required-ness swapped by mode) that stacks above the still-open detail overlay, with its own shade dimming the first overlay too. Approve/Reject only appear on a benefit actually in Pending Approval — everywhere else, the path forward is edit-and-resubmit, not re-deciding it from the menu. Comment is required for Add Comment, optional for Approve/Reject, capped at 400 characters. Submitting pushes a real history entry (with a "View comment" link if text was entered) and, for Approve/Reject, changes the benefit's status live in the still-open overlay — no need to close and reopen.
• The change persists: reopening the overlay, or reloading the page outright, still shows the decision. Built on a new getBenefitOverride / saveBenefitOverride sessionStorage pair in shared.js, mirroring the store Session 3 built for Create Extension, checked by the menu's row-building function before every render. Written as a standalone helper on purpose, so Session 7's benefit-page loader can call the exact same function and a decision made from the menu today will already be correct on that benefit's real page once it exists.
• A second real bug, caught testing the above: a freshly-submitted decision was sorting into the middle of a benefit's history instead of on top. The new entry's timestamp was using the same helper the topnav clock uses, which deliberately hardcodes the year to 2024 per spec — colliding with the 2026-dated "today" this build has used for status logic since Session 5. Fixed with a dedicated getBusinessToday() helper, and applied retroactively to the two pre-existing spots with the same root cause (Create Extension's and New Benefit's own "Created" timestamps).

Scoped deliberately low-effort going in, on the reasoning that most of what a full page needs was already sitting in Sessions 5–6's overlay data. Rather than hand-authoring another dataset per benefit, one derive function synthesizes each page's remaining sections from data already on hand, run once at "View Benefit Page" time.

• deriveFullBenefitPage() builds Card Types & Budget straight from that benefit's existing Product Details tier data — same tier IDs, names, cost, and currency, just reshaped into the page's format — and derives Benefit Category from the benefit's own type, Country from the currency it's already priced in, and Supplier/Broker/Service Provider/Funded By from small pools seeded by benefit ID so a given benefit always shows the same picks. Skipped entirely for the flagship (already real, hand-authored data) and for a blank New Benefit (nothing to derive from yet). data.js itself is untouched — no new bulk data to write or review.
• Create Extension needed zero changes: it already deep-clones whatever benefit object it's given, so a child correctly inherits its parent's derived page content the same way it already inherits everything else.
• A real bug caught in testing: every derived page showed the flagship's name in its Internal Name and Display Name fields. The fallback benefit.internalName || benefit.benefitName assumed a missing name would be falsy, but it was never actually missing — every menu row inherits the flagship's fields by default through the overlay's placeholder-spread mechanism, so the fallback never fired. Fixed to set both unconditionally from the benefit's real name.
• A layout bug, flagged with a screenshot: a long benefit name pushed into the action buttons and compressed them, wrapping "Create Extension" and "Save Draft" onto two lines inside their own buttons. Neither the title nor the actions row had a width constraint, so flexbox shrank both together. Fixed by capping the title's width so it wraps to a second line sooner, and marking the actions row flex-shrink: 0 so it never shrinks at all.
• Two more bugs, found testing Additional Language Support specifically: a benefit could be submitted for approval with a newly-added language's documents never actually uploaded, because nothing checked that they were. Added a validation rule — every document already uploaded in the main Attachments list must also be uploaded for each language actually in use — reusing the existing red-outline-plus-toast pattern rather than inventing a new one; Save Draft stays exempt, same as every other required-field rule. Separately, Optional Language 1's fields were invisible until "+ Add Language" was clicked once; changed the default so one blank language slot is always present and visible, with a second slot only offered once the first is actually filled in.
