Goal

Finish the v1.2 Timeline Explorer by making event participants visible, polishing the timeline page, completing accessibility/responsive checks, and preparing the release package.

This sprint should make the timeline feature feel complete, honest, stable, and portfolio-ready.


Context

Sprint 1 establishes the dedicated timeline route and chronological event layout.

Sprint 2 adds timeline search, filters, URL state, and empty/no-results states.

Sprint 3 completes the user-facing experience by improving participant visibility, polishing the page, verifying the full workflow, and preparing documentation for the v1.2 release.


Scope

Add participant visibility to timeline events

Render attached entities on each timeline event.

Participant display should include:

  • Entity name
  • Entity type, if available
  • Participant role label, if available
  • Link to entity detail page, if route exists and is stable

Events without participants should still render cleanly.

Polish timeline card layout

Improve timeline event presentation for clarity and scanability.

Recommended improvements:

  • Clear date label/sort year area
  • Strong event title hierarchy
  • Summary/description spacing
  • Participant chips or compact participant list
  • Consistent card spacing
  • Clear visual grouping between events
  • Safe handling for long titles, descriptions, and participant names

Final accessibility pass

Check:

  • Page heading structure
  • Link/button accessible names
  • Form labels
  • Keyboard navigation
  • Focus-visible states
  • Empty/no-results reset behavior
  • Color contrast
  • Mobile tap target spacing

Final responsive pass

Check:

  • Desktop layout
  • Tablet/narrow desktop layout
  • Mobile layout
  • Long event content
  • Many participants
  • Empty timeline state
  • Filtered no-results state

Update project documentation for v1.2

Required docs:

  • README.md
  • ROADMAP.md
  • CHANGELOG.md
  • Sprint blueprints
  • PR description
  • GitHub release notes

Recommended README updates:

  • Mention dedicated Timeline Explorer.
  • Add/update feature list.
  • Add screenshot if the timeline page looks meaningfully different.
  • Update status badge when release-ready.
