Phase 12 — UI Design Contract: Initial Setup Wizard
Visual and interaction contract for the first-run setup wizard. Generated by gsd-ui-researcher. Verified by gsd-ui-checker.
Revision note (2026-06-15): CONTEXT.md (D-04/D-05/D-06) supersedes the original validate-only model. Step 2 "Generate Secrets" is dropped (generation is pre-boot via repo helper script). Steps 3–4 are reworked to collect config via input fields, not just validate env. All other design tokens, surfaces, and a11y contracts are unchanged.
Context & Audience
This wizard is operator-facing, not end-user-facing. The operator is the person standing up
the self-hosted FamilySync instance on Unraid — technical enough to edit docker-compose.yml,
but not necessarily a developer. The wizard renders for an unauthenticated visitor (it is the
one screen in the app shown outside the Authelia/OIDC guard). It must be calm, legible, and
unintimidating.
This is the only full-page standalone UI in the app. It does NOT render inside the existing AppNav + BottomTabBar shell. It owns its entire viewport.
All design tokens are inherited from the existing system (apps/pwa/src/styles/tokens.css).
No new tokens are introduced.

Wizard Steps — Detailed Interaction Contract
REVISION (2026-06-15, CONTEXT.md D-04/D-05): The original 5-step model included a "Generate Secrets" step (Step 2). This step is dropped. Secret generation (SESSION_SECRET, APP_PASSWORD_ENCRYPTION_KEY, VAPID public/private keys) is done pre-boot via the
npm run generate-secretsrepo helper script. The wizard never generates, displays, or requests acknowledgement of secrets. Steps are now 4 total.
Step 1: Welcome
Purpose: orient the operator; no inputs; no validation.
- Heading: "Welcome to FamilySync Setup"
- Description: "This wizard will guide you through configuring your self-hosted instance. Before
continuing, run
npm run generate-secretsfrom the repo to generate your instance secrets and add them to your Docker environment. You'll also need: your OIDC client credentials (Authelia) and a Fastmail account with an app password. This takes about 5 minutes." - Informational note block (Surface 3 — inside the card,
background: var(--color-surface-dim),border-radius: 4px,padding: var(--space-3) var(--space-4),marginBottom: var(--space-4)):- Label (13px/600,
var(--color-text-primary)): "Before you start" - Body: "Run
npm run generate-secretsand add the output to your Docker environment block. These secrets cannot be recovered if lost."
- Label (13px/600,
- No input fields.
- Continue button: always enabled.
Step 2: Instance Configuration
Purpose: collect non-secret runtime config that the wizard writes to app_config. No secrets
are collected here. Validates DB connectivity and OIDC discovery.
- Heading: "Instance Configuration"
- Description: "Enter your instance's connection details. These are written to the database — not your environment file."
Fields (collected and written to app_config):
-
App URL
- Label: "App URL"
- Type:
text, placeholder:https://familysync.example.com - Helper: "The public URL where FamilySync is reachable."
app_configkey:app_url
-
OIDC Issuer
- Label: "OIDC issuer URL"
- Type:
text, placeholder:https://auth.example.com - Helper: "Your Authelia instance URL. FamilySync will fetch
/.well-known/openid-configurationfrom this URL." app_configkey:oidc_issuer
-
OIDC Client ID
- Label: "OIDC client ID"
- Type:
text, placeholder:familysync - Helper: "The client ID registered in Authelia for this application."
app_configkey:oidc_client_id
-
VAPID Public Key
- Label: "VAPID public key"
- Type:
text, placeholder:BH…(URL-safe base64, 87 chars) - Helper: "Paste the
VAPID_PUBLIC_KEYvalue fromnpm run generate-secrets." app_configkey:vapid_public_key
Validations (triggered by "Save & Validate" button):
Two sequential checks run after the operator taps the action button:
-
Database —
POST /api/setup/validate/db- Validation state row (Surface 5):
- Pending: "Testing database connection…"
- Success: "Database connection verified."
- Failure: "Cannot reach the database. Check DB_HOST, DB_PORT, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD in your Docker environment and try again."
- Validation state row (Surface 5):
-
OIDC discovery —
POST /api/setup/validate/oidc(runs after DB success)- Validation state row (Surface 5):
- Pending: "Checking OIDC discovery…"
- Success: "OIDC discovery resolved."
- Failure: "OIDC discovery failed. Check the issuer URL and that Authelia is reachable from the server."
- Validation state row (Surface 5):
- Action button label on this step: "Save & Validate" (primary filled, full-width on this step — replace the normal right-aligned action row with a full-width button above the validation state rows, then normal Continue/Back row appears below once both pass)
- Continue appears (enabled) only when both validation rows show success and config has been saved
(
POST /api/setup/configcall completes before validation begins). - Back is available.
Step 3: Calendar Credential
Purpose: set the first member's Fastmail app password; validate against CalDAV PROPFIND. Reuses the CredentialSheet interaction pattern (same fields, same validation feedback, same copy).
- Heading: "Fastmail Credential"
- Description: "Add the Fastmail app password for the first household member. This credential is validated against Fastmail CalDAV before saving. The password is never stored in plain text."
- Fields (same as CredentialSheet):
- Fastmail email (type="email", autoComplete="email", placeholder="user@fastmail.com")
- App password (type="password", autoComplete="new-password")
- Helper text below fields: "Enter the Fastmail app password scoped to Calendars/CalDAV.
Get an app password — choose
the 'Calendars & Contacts (CalDAV)' scope."
- Link: accent-colored,
text-decoration: underline, opens in new tabrel="noopener noreferrer"
- Link: accent-colored,
- Validation state row (Surface 5):
- Pending: "Validating against CalDAV…" (Loader2 spinner)
- Success: "Credential verified." — Continue becomes enabled
- Failure: "Invalid password — CalDAV validation failed. Check the scope is 'Calendars &
Contacts (CalDAV)' and try again." (in
var(--color-destructive))
- Continue button label on this step: "Complete Setup"
- On continue:
POST /api/setup/complete— provisions the pre-OIDC local user + credential, flipsapp_config.setup_complete, redirects to Surface 7 (Terminal Screen) - Back is available.
Step 4 — no longer a step card; becomes the Terminal Screen
After POST /api/setup/complete succeeds, the wizard card is replaced by Surface 7 (Terminal
"Setup Complete" screen). There is no separate "Step 4" card — the terminal screen IS the
completion state.
Routing & App-Level Gate
The wizard lives at route /setup. App.tsx must add a gate at startup:
- On app load,
GET /api/setup/statusis fetched (before any other /api route, mounts outside OIDC guard). - If response is
{ setupComplete: false }→ redirect entire app to/setup(full-page takeover, no AppNav/BottomTabBar rendered). - If response is
{ setupComplete: true }→ normal app boot continues. - If
/setupis navigated directly after setup is complete (API returns 423) → render Surface 8 ("Already Locked").
The /setup route does NOT render inside the normal App shell. It replaces it entirely (or
is handled before <BrowserRouter> routes — implementation choice for planner, but the design
contract requires: no AppNav, no BottomTabBar, no SetupBanner, no PermissionDeniedBanner).

Responsive Behavior
The wizard is desktop-first (operator is typically on a desktop browser when standing up infrastructure), but must be usable on a phone if needed.
- Desktop (≥768px): card centered at maxWidth 540px; step indicator spans full card width
- Phone (<768px): card fills viewport minus 24px horizontal padding; step indicator uses short labels (1, 2, 3, 4) or icon-only to avoid overflow; no bottom tab bar (not rendered at all on wizard page)
- No BottomTabBar, no AppNav on this page at any breakpoint
Security Display Rules
These are hard UI rules, not implementation notes:
- The wizard never displays generated secret values. Secrets (SESSION_SECRET,
APP_PASSWORD_ENCRYPTION_KEY, VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY, VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY) are generated pre-boot by
the
npm run generate-secretshelper and pasted into Docker env by the operator. The wizard only collects the VAPID public key (non-secret) as a form field. - App password in Step 3:
type="password"— never visible - No
