Issue

"State Variables" was a confusing term that could be replaced with something more easily understood.

Solution

All mentions of "State Variable" have been renamed to "Property" in the codebase.
The feature itself behaves identically, just a name change.

Schema fields untouched as modifying would then req a data migration.

Risk

A lot of files were changed so a little hard to review. 🙇‍♂️

Checklist

  • Acceptance criteria met
  • Wiki documentation is written and up to date
  • Unit tests written and passing
  • Integration tests written and passing

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR renames scenario state variables to properties across backend APIs, frontend authoring and playback, resource conditionals, tests, and documentation. It adds property operation, type, migration, and conditional utilities.

Changes

Properties migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Backend property APIs and navigation
backend/src/db/daos/*, backend/src/routes/api/*, backend/src/util/properties/*
Renames DAO and route APIs, changes navigation responses to properties and propertyVersion, adds property operations, and adds resource renaming.
Frontend property model and authoring
frontend/src/components/Properties/*, frontend/src/context/*, frontend/src/features/authoring/*
Adds property types and migration helpers. Authoring menus, editors, bindings, conditionals, and operations use properties.
Frontend playback and filtering
frontend/src/features/playScenario/*, frontend/src/utils/*, frontend/src/features/dashboard/*
Playback, interpolation, timers, resource filtering, and dashboard views consume properties.
Validation and documentation
backend/src/routes/api/__tests__/*, frontend/src/components/Properties/propertyTypes.test.js, learn/*, wiki/*, frontend/package.json
Updates API assertions, property type tests, test commands, learning pages, specifications, and API documentation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Inline comments:
In `@backend/src/routes/api/navigate/group.js`:
- Line 194: Update the return statement in getGroupByIdAndUser to return the
singular group.stateVersion alongside properties, matching the selected field
and updateProperties usage; do not use group.stateVersions.

In `@frontend/src/components/Properties/CreateProperty.jsx`:
- Around line 84-89: Update the boolean SelectInput values in CreateProperty.jsx
lines 84-89 and EditProperty.jsx lines 156-161 to use boolean true and false
values instead of strings, ensuring both property creation and editing store
actual booleans.

In `@frontend/src/components/Properties/EditPropertyConditional.jsx`:
- Around line 132-142: Update the label rendered alongside property.name in the
conditional editor to use the correct conditional terminology instead of
“operation”; leave the comparator selection logic and other UI behavior
unchanged.

In `@frontend/src/components/Properties/EditPropertyOperation.jsx`:
- Around line 20-36: In EditPropertyOperation, initialize the useState and
useEffect hooks before the properties guard and resolve the property with an
optional properties lookup so hook order remains stable while data loads.
Normalize numeric input values with Number before passing them to saveValue,
preserving numeric arithmetic for ADD operations.

Apply the same fix in
`@frontend/src/components/Properties/EditPropertyOperation.jsx` around lines 87 -

In `@frontend/src/components/Properties/migrationUtils.js`:
- Around line 12-16: Update ensurePropertyUUIDs to persist newly generated
property IDs before any operations, bindings, or conditionals save
selectedProperty.id references; otherwise retain the existing name-based
fallback until persistence completes. Also address the currently unused
migratePropertyOperations path so legacy property references are migrated
consistently.

In `@frontend/src/components/Properties/PropertyMenu.jsx`:
- Around line 36-37: Update the properties.map rendering in PropertyMenu to use
each property’s stable identifier as the EditProperty key, falling back to the
property name for legacy records, instead of the array index.

In `@frontend/src/components/Properties/propertyOperations.js`:
- Around line 11-30: The property operation validation in the
operation-processing loop must stop execution for invalid operations after
logging the failure, before reaching the mutation switch. Update the control
flow around validOperations and the switch so invalid operations are skipped or
propagated using the caller’s established error behavior, while recognized valid
operations continue updating property.value normally.

Apply the same fix in
`@frontend/src/components/Properties/CreatePropertyOperation.jsx` around lines 61
- 64: Covers the stale operation retained after changing the selected property
type.

In `@wiki/Specifications/Properties.md`:
- Around line 66-70: Restore “Data Validation” as a level-two Markdown heading
and hyphenate “non-traversing” in the explanatory text.

In `@wiki/Specifications/Timer.md`:
- Around line 81-84: Update the Timer specification terminology from “variable”
to “property” at the referenced operation description, and replace the
documented applyStateOperations reference with applyPropertyOperations so it
matches the current utility.

Return the singular group version.

getGroupByIdAndUser selects stateVersion, and updateProperties uses group.stateVersion. Line 194 reads group.stateVersions, which is undefined. When synchronization has no changes, the response returns an undefined propertyVersion.

Store boolean values as booleans. Both selectors send "true" and "false" strings to properties with boolean type. This makes "false" truthy and breaks strict conditional comparisons with boolean defaults.

Move the hooks before the properties guard and normalize numeric values.

  • properties starts as undefined and loads asynchronously. The current code changes from zero hooks to two hooks and triggers a hook-order error. Move the hooks before the guard and use properties?.find(...).
  • Number inputs pass strings to saveValue. Since ADD uses +=, 10 plus "2" becomes "102". Convert numeric input values with Number(...) before saving.

Persist legacy property IDs before saving references. ensurePropertyUUIDs creates IDs only in client memory, so operations, bindings, and conditionals that save selectedProperty.id become unresolved after the next fetch. Persist the IDs before saving references, or retain name-based fallback until persistence. migratePropertyOperations is currently unused.

Use a stable property key.

The array index lets React reuse an EditProperty instance after a deletion. Its local form state can then belong to a different property. Use the property identifier, with the name as the legacy fallback.

Proposed fix
-        {properties.map((property, i) => (
-          <EditProperty key={i} property={property} scenarioId={scenarioId} />
+        {properties.map((property) => (
+          <EditProperty

+            property={property}
+            scenarioId={scenarioId}

Reject invalid property operations consistently.

  • Validation failures currently only log and then fall through to the operation switch, allowing invalid operations to mutate frontend state. Exit the iteration or throw before applying the operation.
  • Changing from a numeric property to a string or boolean property retains ADD or SUBTRACT. Clear the operation when the selected property changes, or revalidate it before saving.

30, The property operation validation in the operation-processing loop must stop
execution for invalid operations after logging the failure, before reaching the

Data Validation

We technically already support non traversing scene transitions, because a link button can link to the same scene its within. This behaviour was fine before, but now that a button can also have property transitions, we need to explicitly handle this to avoid property mismatches.

This means our transition validator (backend) needs to also check if the properties are the same, not just the scene. One way we can do this is by sending the full local properties alongside the navigation info to the navigation endpoint. However, a better way would be to generate and track a unique key that identifies a certain version of the properties, which we can use instead to validate.

Complete the property terminology update.

Line 84 should refer to a property, not a variable. The timer implementation section also still names applyStateOperations at line 134. Rename it to applyPropertyOperations so the documented implementation matches the current utility.

Also applies to: 150-150
