RE Workflow Management System - Task Timeline
SSO-Based Authentication | Realistic Progress Tracking
Version: 2.0
Date: October 23, 2025
Authentication: SSO via RE SSO Bridge (No login/signup screens)
Current Status: Frontend UI 80% extracted, Backend 70% setup
🎯 Current Project Status
Overall Progress: 10%
- Backend: 10% (repo 70% setup, database 0%, APIs 0%)
- Frontend: 16% (UI 80% extracted, but no functionality)
Reality Check:
✅ What We Have:
- Frontend UI components from Figma (80% extracted, mobile responsive)
- Work notes UI + partial functionality (emoji, document selection working)
- Dependencies installed
- Repository structure in progress
❌ What We DON'T Have:
- No Redux store created
- No API service layer
- No form validations
- No API integration
- No business logic
- No authentication working
- No database setup
Translation: Having UI ≠ Having features. We have the "look" but not the "functionality."
🔐 SSO Authentication (No Login Screens)
How SSO Works:
- User visits app → App redirects to RE SSO Bridge
- User logs in with RE credentials (handled by SSO)
- SSO redirects back to app with token
- App validates token, syncs user from Active Directory
- User lands on dashboard (logged in)
What We Build:
Frontend (1.5 days):
- SSO callback handler page
- Protected route guards
- Logout button
Backend (2 days):
- SSO OAuth2 integration
- User sync from Active Directory
- JWT session management
No Need For:
- ❌ Login page
- ❌ Signup page
- ❌ Password reset pages
- ❌ Email verification
