Turn Analysis: Button Rendering Bug

📋 User Request

User (johnathon) noticed that choice buttons visible in the dashboard console were NOT appearing on the turn playback page or kontask detail page. Submitted 5 screenshots showing the discrepancy.

🔍 Investigation Process

  1. Read 5 screenshot images to understand the issue
  2. Searched codebase for renderChoiceButtons and renderKontaskCard
  3. Traced the rendering flow in kontask-detail.ts, console-ui.ts, console-render-items.ts, and turn-playback.ts
  4. Verified kontask data has context.choices correctly stored
  5. Fetched live kontask page HTML to verify server-side rendering

🎯 Key Decision: Root Cause Identification

Kontask Detail Page: Buttons ARE rendering correctly. The user may have seen cached pages.

Turn Playback Page: This was the actual bug.

// console-render-items.ts line 419
if (kontask.choices && kontask.choices.length > 0 && 
    typeof renderChoiceButtons === 'function') {
  renderChoiceButtons(kontask.choices, card, planCtx);
}

The turn playback page included shared render functions but NOT renderChoiceButtons. The typeof check silently returned false → no buttons rendered.

✅ Solution Implemented

Added renderChoiceButtons() function to turn-playback.ts:

  • Renders "Quick Actions" section with styled buttons
  • Primary buttons get gold gradient, secondary get gray
  • Click navigates to dashboard with choice as pre-filled prompt
  • Uses e.stopPropagation() to prevent card click handler
