Built and pushed the first working Sam's Operations Center spine as a private Next.js app at https://github.com/samaguiar1982-cpu/sail-command-center. The local project is /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Projects/Repos/sail-command-center.
The app now has a dark, TV-ready owner dashboard with source-shaped data, plain labels, source links on visible metrics, last sync markers, a module rail, Today, Needs Attention, Firm Snapshot, Active Projects, Attorney Teams, Sources, AI Note, and Ask the center sections. It includes 21 module entry points so the full OS can grow without becoming one cluttered dashboard.
Added the source metadata model, mock connector records, connector inventory, audit-event helper, production basic-auth proxy scaffold, /api/health, /api/sources, architecture docs, database schema docs, README, .env.example, tests, and QA screenshots.
Phase 0 plus the Phase 2 mock UI spine are complete and verified. Live connector work should start next. No live system writes were attempted.
npm test passed: 8 tests in 2 files. npm run lint passed. npm run build passed. /api/health returned ok with connector and auth status. Browser QA checked the dashboard at 1920x1080 and 390x844. Connector click behavior was verified by clicking Google Ads and confirming the source drawer changed to Google Ads with its source URL.
QA artifacts were saved in /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Projects/Repos/sail-command-center/artifacts/qa/2026-05-23/. The design concept was saved in /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Projects/Repos/sail-command-center/docs/design/command-center-concept.png.
The app currently uses source-shaped mock data, not live metrics. Production SSO, Postgres, queue workers, and real sync jobs are not wired yet. Local auth is intentionally open for development unless COMMAND_CENTER_USER and COMMAND_CENTER_PASSWORD are set.
npm audit --audit-level=moderate reported two moderate advisories through Next/PostCSS. The automatic force fix would downgrade Next to version 9.3.3, so I did not apply it. This should be watched and handled through a safe Next patch or dependency update instead.
I added the new project row to the Projects root FOLDER-INDEX.md, but the Projects root had unrelated preexisting changes, so only the app repo was committed and pushed.
The strongest next move is a read-only Litify/Salesforce connector first: confirm LITIFY_ORG, map lead/case/task/team objects, preserve source URLs, and populate real Intake, Attorney Team, Marketing, and Litify Optimization cards before adding more connectors. After that, add Postgres sync tables and a sync run/audit log table, then Google Ads and CallRail.
A good cloud path is to prepare Render or Railway deployment with a Cloudflare-protected endpoint, then add a local sync worker later for machine-specific sources such as active drive indexing.
Start in /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Projects/Repos/sail-command-center. Confirm git status is clean on main. Read README.md, docs/architecture.md, src/lib/connectors.ts, and src/lib/mock-data.ts first. Run locally with npm run dev -- --hostname 127.0.0.1 --port 3007.
Do not treat the mock values as live firm numbers. Keep every displayed metric source-linked. Keep AI interpretation labeled separately from source data. Use live Salesforce/Litify reads before assuming object names or report availability. Avoid destructive writes unless Sam approves them explicitly.
Importance: High. Status: Phase 0 and mock UI complete, live connectors pending.
