Summary

When an admin changes a user's subscription tier (Free/Pro/Enterprise) via the admin UI, the user's settings page continues to display "Free" instead of the updated tier. The subscription feature (added in #55) has a sync gap between the admin update and the frontend display.

  • Original implementation: #55

Current Behavior

  1. Admin opens admin UI and changes user subscription tier via dropdown (e.g., Free → Pro)
  2. Admin endpoint successfully processes the manual override (bypassing Stripe)
  3. User opens Settings page
  4. "Current Plan:" still displays "FREE" instead of "PRO"

Expected Behavior

  1. When admin changes subscription tier, it should update both:
    • subscriptions.tier column
    • user_profiles.subscription_tier column
  2. Frontend "Current Plan:" should display the correct tier immediately
  3. Grace period expiration (30 days after failed payment) should auto-downgrade to free
  4. After downgrade to free, user must select which 2 vehicles to keep on next login
  5. User receives email notification on tier change
  6. User receives in-app notification on tier change

Root Cause Hypothesis

The admin endpoint likely updates one database location but not both, or the syncTierToUserProfile() method is not called during admin updates. The frontend reads from subscriptions.tier via useSubscription() hook.

Files to Investigate

Backend:

  • backend/src/features/subscriptions/domain/subscriptions.service.ts - sync logic
  • backend/src/features/subscriptions/data/subscriptions.repository.ts - DB operations
  • Admin endpoint for subscription changes (location TBD)

Frontend:

  • frontend/src/pages/SettingsPage.tsx (lines 414-445) - "Current Plan:" display
  • frontend/src/features/subscription/hooks/useSubscription.ts - data fetching

Acceptance Criteria

  • Admin tier change updates both subscriptions.tier and user_profiles.subscription_tier
  • Settings page "Current Plan:" displays correct tier after admin change
  • Automatic downgrade to free tier occurs after 30-day grace period expires
  • User prompted to select 2 vehicles on next login after downgrade to free
  • Email notification sent when tier changes (admin change or auto-downgrade)
  • In-app notification shown when tier changes
  • Mobile + desktop responsive validation

Test Plan

  1. Admin Update Flow:

    • Change user from Free → Pro via admin UI
    • Verify both DB columns updated
    • Verify user sees "PRO" in settings (mobile + desktop)
  2. Grace Period Downgrade:

    • Simulate expired grace period
    • Verify auto-downgrade to free
    • Verify vehicle selection prompt on login
  3. Notifications:

    • Verify email sent on tier change
    • Verify in-app notification displayed

Plan: Subscription Tier Sync Fix

Phase: Planning | Agent: Planner | Status: AWAITING_REVIEW


Root Cause Analysis

Problem: When admin changes a user's subscription tier, the Settings page still shows "Free" instead of the updated tier.

Root Cause: Admin tier change updates user_profiles.subscription_tier but NOT subscriptions.tier. The frontend useSubscription() hook reads from subscriptions.tier, causing the display mismatch.

Evidence:

  • backend/src/features/user-profile/domain/user-profile.service.ts:150 - Only updates user_profiles table
  • backend/src/features/subscriptions/domain/subscriptions.service.ts:42-58 - GET /subscriptions reads from subscriptions table
  • No cross-feature sync exists for admin-initiated tier changes

Milestones

Milestone 1: Fix Core Sync Issue (Critical)

Goal: Admin tier changes sync both database tables

Files to modify:

  1. backend/src/features/subscriptions/domain/subscriptions.service.ts

    • Add adminOverrideTier(userId: string, newTier: SubscriptionTier) method
    • Updates subscriptions.tier directly
    • Calls existing syncTierToUserProfile() for consistency
    • Handles case where user has no subscription record (create one)
  2. backend/src/features/subscriptions/api/subscriptions.routes.ts

    • No changes needed (new method is internal)
  3. backend/src/features/admin/api/users.controller.ts:264

    • Change from: userProfileService.updateSubscriptionTier()
    • Change to: subscriptionsService.adminOverrideTier()
  4. backend/src/features/admin/api/users.controller.ts (constructor)

    • Add SubscriptionsService dependency injection

Acceptance:

  • Admin tier change updates subscriptions.tier
  • Admin tier change updates user_profiles.subscription_tier
  • Settings page displays correct tier immediately after admin change

Milestone 2: Verify Grace Period & Vehicle Selection

Goal: Confirm existing grace period and vehicle selection flows work correctly

Files to verify:

  1. backend/src/features/subscriptions/jobs/grace-period.job.ts

    • Verify 30-day grace period auto-downgrade works
    • Verify both tables are synced on auto-downgrade
  2. frontend/src/features/subscription/components/VehicleSelectionDialog.tsx

    • Verify dialog triggers on login after downgrade to free
  3. frontend/src/App.tsx or equivalent

    • Verify vehicle selection check on app load for free tier users with >2 vehicles

Acceptance:

  • Grace period expiration auto-downgrades to free tier
  • Both tables synced on auto-downgrade
  • Vehicle selection prompt shows on next login after downgrade to free

Milestone 3: Notifications Implementation

Goal: Notify users when their tier changes

Files to create:

  1. backend/src/features/notifications/ (new feature)

    • domain/notifications.service.ts - Core notification logic
    • domain/notifications.types.ts - Types
    • data/notifications.repository.ts - DB storage for in-app notifications
    • api/notifications.controller.ts - GET /notifications endpoint
    • api/notifications.routes.ts - Route registration
    • migrations/001_notifications_table.sql - In-app notification storage
  2. backend/src/features/notifications/domain/email-templates/

    • tier-change.template.ts - Email template for tier changes
  3. frontend/src/features/notifications/

    • components/NotificationBell.tsx - Header notification icon
    • components/NotificationList.tsx - Dropdown notification list
    • hooks/useNotifications.ts - React Query hook

Integration points:

  • Call NotificationsService.sendTierChangeNotification() from:
    • SubscriptionsService.adminOverrideTier()
    • SubscriptionsService.upgradeSubscription()
    • SubscriptionsService.downgradeSubscription()
    • grace-period.job.ts (auto-downgrade)

Acceptance:

  • Email notification sent when tier changes (admin or auto-downgrade)
  • In-app notification displayed when tier changes
  • User can view notification history

Milestone 4: Testing & Validation

Goal: Comprehensive test coverage and mobile/desktop validation

Tests to add:

  1. backend/src/features/subscriptions/tests/

    • admin-tier-override.test.ts - Unit tests for new adminOverrideTier method
    • integration/admin-tier-sync.integration.test.ts - E2E admin tier change flow
  2. backend/src/features/notifications/tests/

    • notifications.service.test.ts - Unit tests
    • integration/tier-notifications.integration.test.ts - E2E notification flow

Manual validation:

  • Admin UI tier change (desktop 1920px)
  • Admin UI tier change (mobile 320px, 768px)
  • Settings page tier display (desktop)
  • Settings page tier display (mobile)
  • Notification bell/list (desktop)
  • Notification bell/list (mobile)

Acceptance:

  • All tests pass
  • Mobile + desktop responsive validation complete

File Change Summary

Milestone Files Modified Files Created
M1 2 0
M2 0 (verification only) 0
M3 4 12
M4 0 4 tests

Total: ~6 files modified, ~16 files created


Risks & Mitigations

  1. Risk: User has no subscription record when admin changes tier

    • Mitigation: adminOverrideTier() creates subscription record if missing
  2. Risk: Email delivery failures

    • Mitigation: Use async queue, log failures, don't block tier change on email
  3. Risk: Notification feature scope creep

    • Mitigation: Limit M3 to tier-change notifications only, expand later

Execution Order

  1. M1 first - Critical bug fix, unblocks user impact
  2. M2 second - Verification, quick validation
  3. M3 third - Notifications (larger scope, can be parallel)
  4. M4 last - Testing after implementation complete

Findings

[SUGGESTION]: M3 Scope May Be Large

  • Issue: Milestone 3 creates 12+ new files (entire notifications feature)
  • Observation: This could be split into M3a (backend) and M3b (frontend) for better incremental delivery
  • Not blocking: Current plan is executable as-is

[SUGGESTION]: Consider Creating Notification Feature as Separate Issue

  • Issue: M3 is effectively a new feature, not a bug fix
  • Observation: Could be split into separate issue for cleaner tracking
  • Not blocking: Acceptance criteria includes notifications, so keeping together is valid

Considered But Not Flagged

  1. File count estimate (~22 files) - Acceptable for multi-milestone plan
  2. No database migration in M1 - Correct, using existing tables
  3. M2 is verification-only - Appropriate for validating existing code

VERDICT: PASS

Plan covers all acceptance criteria with clear milestones, file lists, and acceptance checkboxes. Suggestions are non-blocking improvements.

[HIGH] RULE 0: Transaction Safety for Dual-Table Updates

  • Location: M1 - adminOverrideTier() method (proposed)
  • Issue: Plan updates both subscriptions.tier and user_profiles.subscription_tier but doesn't specify transaction wrapping
  • Failure Mode: If first update succeeds but second fails, tables remain out of sync
  • Suggested Fix: Wrap both updates in database transaction:
    async adminOverrideTier(userId: string, tier: SubscriptionTier): Promise<void> {
      await this.repository.withTransaction(async (client) => {
        await this.repository.updateTier(userId, tier, client);

  • Suggested Fix: Add comment documenting intentional dependency:
    // Admin feature depends on Subscriptions for tier management
    // This is intentional - admin has oversight capabilities

  1. M1 MUST use transaction for dual-table updates (from QR plan-code)
  2. Document admin -> subscriptions dependency (from QR plan-code)

Verdict: PASS | Next: Execute M1 (branch: issue-58-subscription-tier-sync)

## QR Review: Plan Docs **Phase**: Plan-Review | **Agent**: Quality Reviewer | **Status**: PASS --- ### Documentation Updates Required | Milestone | Doc Updates Needed | Status | |-----------|-------------------|--------| | M1 | Update subscriptions/README.md with adminOverrideTier() | Implicit | | M2 | None (verification only) | N/A | | M3 | Create notifications/README.md, CLAUDE.md | Required | | M4 | None (testing) | N/A | --- ### CLAUDE.md Impact Assessment | File | Action Needed | |------|---------------| | `backend/src/features/subscriptions/CLAUDE.md` | Add note about admin integration | | `backend/src/features/admin/CLAUDE.md` | Note dependency on subscriptions | | `backend/src/features/notifications/CLAUDE.md` | Create (M3) | | `frontend/src/features/notifications/CLAUDE.md` | Create (M3) | --- ### Plan Documentation Quality | Check | Status | Notes | |-------|--------|-------| | Root cause documented | PASS | Clear explanation with file:line refs | | Implementation path clear | PASS | Milestones are sequential and logical | | Risks documented | PASS | 3 risks with mitigations | | No temporal contamination | PASS | Uses present tense appropriately | --- ### Findings No blocking documentation issues. Plan includes sufficient detail for implementation. #### [SUGGESTION]: Add Doc Update Checklist to M4 - **Issue**: Plan doesn't explicitly list CLAUDE.md updates as M4 acceptance criteria - **Observation**: Doc updates should be tracked - **Suggested Fix**: Add to M4 acceptance: - [ ] subscriptions/CLAUDE.md updated with adminOverrideTier notes - [ ] notifications/CLAUDE.md created - [ ] notifications/README.md created --- ### Considered But Not Flagged 1. **No API documentation specified** - Will be auto-generated or added during implementation 2. **Test documentation** - Will be in test file comments --- ## VERDICT: PASS Plan documentation is adequate. Suggestion to add explicit doc update checklist is non-blocking. --- ## Plan Review Cycle Complete | Review | Verdict | |--------|---------| | QR plan-completeness | PASS | | TW plan-scrub | PASS | | QR plan-code | PASS_WITH_CONCERNS | | QR plan-docs | PASS | **Overall**: PLAN APPROVED **Implementation Notes**: 1.

Milestone: M1 Complete

Phase: Execution | Agent: Developer | Status: PASS


Changes Implemented

File Change
subscriptions.repository.ts Added updateTierByUserId() and createForAdminOverride() with transaction support
subscriptions.service.ts Added adminOverrideTier() method with atomic dual-table update
users.controller.ts Changed updateTier() to use subscriptionsService.adminOverrideTier()

Implementation Details

  1. Transaction Safety: Dual-table updates wrapped in PostgreSQL transaction (BEGIN/COMMIT/ROLLBACK)
  2. Error Handling: Handles case where user has no subscription record by creating one
  3. Dependency Documentation: Added comment documenting admin -> subscriptions dependency
  4. Audit Logging: Preserved audit trail functionality

Verification

  • TypeScript type-check passes
  • ESLint passes (0 errors, pre-existing warnings only)
  • Admin tier change updates subscriptions.tier
  • Admin tier change updates user_profiles.subscription_tier
  • Commit: 2c0cbd5 - fix: sync subscription tier on admin override (refs #58)

Verdict: PASS | Next: M2 - Verify Grace Period & Vehicle Selection

Verification Results

Grace Period Job (grace-period.job.ts)

Check Status Notes
30-day grace period logic PASS Correctly queries WHERE grace_period_end < NOW()
Dual-table sync BUG FOUND & FIXED Was using WHERE user_id = $1, should be WHERE auth0_sub = $1
Transaction wrapping PASS BEGIN/COMMIT/ROLLBACK pattern correct

Fix Applied: Changed line 87 from WHERE user_id = $1 to WHERE auth0_sub = $1

VehicleSelectionDialog (VehicleSelectionDialog.tsx)

Check Status Notes
Component exists PASS Full implementation with checkbox selection
Max selection enforcement PASS Disables checkboxes when limit reached
Clear UX messaging PASS Shows tier info and selection count

DowngradeFlow (DowngradeFlow.tsx)

Check Status Notes
Triggers on user-initiated downgrade PASS Works via subscription page downgrade button
Integrates with VehicleSelectionDialog PASS Correctly passes vehicles and limits

Auto-Prompt on Login After Grace Period Downgrade

Check Status Notes
Prompt in App.tsx GAP No automatic prompt exists
Free tier check on load GAP Not implemented

Gap Analysis

Acceptance Criteria Gap: "User prompted to select 2 vehicles on next login after downgrade to free"

This functionality does not currently exist. The VehicleSelectionDialog is only shown during manual downgrade flows, not after automatic grace period expiration.

Recommendation: This is a new feature that should be tracked separately or added to M3/M4. Implementation would require:

  1. Backend: Endpoint to check if user needs vehicle selection (free tier + >2 vehicles + no selection made)
  2. Frontend: Hook in App.tsx to check and show dialog on authenticated load

Commits Pending

  • grace-period.job.ts fix staged (GPG signing issue preventing commit)

Verdict: PASS_WITH_FINDINGS | Next: M3 - Notifications Implementation (or address vehicle selection gap)
