Phase 19: Weekend Workspace / Race Hub Flow V1

Goal

Rework /race-hub from an "admin-style table on top, analysis below" page into a Weekend Workspace that feels like a modern session companion: a compact GP identity band, a horizontal session rail, an Overview snapshot, and fan-oriented analysis tabs. Keep /race-hub?session_key=… working, keep ingestion/admin concerns out of the fan surface, and make mobile/iPad first-class.

Completed Scope

Replaced the legacy Race Hub layout with a Weekend Workspace:
- Topbar: box-box · race hub · <year> eyebrow, weekend source badge, and a Switch Weekend toggle that opens an inline switcher panel.
- GP identity band: country decal, GP name, location · circuit, date range, with a left-edge --gp-accent strip derived from frontend/src/lib/gpIdentity.ts.
- Session rail: horizontal segmented strip of session cards (FP1, FP2, FP3, Q, Sprint, R …) showing abbreviation, name, time, source dot, and coverage hint. Switching is a single click; selected chip pulses with the GP accent.
- Active session sub-bar: compact line with session name, scheduled time, coverage label, and key <session_key> for power users.
New tab grouping (frontend/src/components/TabBar.tsx): Overview · Race Story · Strategy · Lap Data · Conditions · Race Control · Data Status. Race Story bundles classification, starting grid, and position evolution behind a sub-segmented control so the operational feel is preserved without exploding the top-level tab list.
New Overview tab (components/OverviewView.tsx): operational stat cards (Winner / Pole / Fastest Lap / Podium) plus compact panels for Conditions, latest Race Control messages, and a Local Coverage meter that links to the relevant Data Status tab.
Inline Weekend Switcher (components/WeekendSwitcher.tsx): season tabs, meeting cards with country decals, and expandable per-meeting session lists that navigate via useNavigate. Replaces the old fullscreen LocalDataNavigator table on the Race Hub surface.
Auto-resolution when /race-hub is opened without session_key: the page resolves the focus weekend via the same pickFocusMeeting helper Command Center uses and navigate(replace: true) to the focus session (race → qualifying → first local session).
Data Status tab now points at /admin for missing datasets instead of inlining CLI commands. Admin remains the home for ingestion guidance.
GP accent is plumbed through CSS custom property --gp-accent, used by session chips, story sub-control underline, overview stat cards, and the topbar Switch Weekend border.

Route Behavior

/race-hub?session_key=9472 — unchanged contract; loads the workspace for that session and opens Overview by default.
/race-hub (no key) — resolves locally via fetchSeasons → fetchLocalMeetings → pickFocusMeeting → fetchWeekend, then navigate({ replace: true }) to the focus session's race/qualifying.
/data-library and /admin remain untouched.

What Did Not Change

Backend APIs (/api/v1/race-hub, /api/v1/seasons, /api/v1/meetings, /api/v1/weekend).
Live SignalR bridge, /live page, TUI live mode.
Command Center, Admin / Data Health flows.
Existing chart and table components (ClassificationTable, StartingGridTable, StrategyView, PositionEvolutionView, LapsView, RaceControlView, WeatherView) are reused inside the new shell.
The legacy LocalDataNavigator component is kept (still unit-tested) so any future surfaces can reuse it, but it is no longer mounted on /race-hub.

Tests and Visual Coverage

Updated:

frontend/src/test/TabBar.test.tsx — new tab list (Overview / Race Story / Strategy / Lap Data / Conditions / Race Control / Data Status).
frontend/src/test/DatasetStatusView.test.tsx — rewritten against the fan-facing dataset list (11/11), the new Manage ingestion → /admin link, and the removal of inline CLI hints.
frontend/src/test/RaceHubPage.test.tsx — new test file covering the identity band, session rail, Race Story sub-controls, Data Status admin link, and the inline weekend switcher.
tests/race-hub.spec.ts — rewritten E2E spec covering Overview default, Race Story sub-views, Strategy and Positions missing-data notices, weekend switcher toggle, Data Status admin link, and the bare /race-hub redirect.
tests/command-center.spec.ts, tests/data-library.spec.ts, tests/production-smoke.spec.ts — updated assertions to land on the new workspace shell rather than the old "Final Classification" headline.
tests/visual/helpers.ts — gotoRaceHubReady now waits for race-hub + rh-identity + rh-session-<key> + rh-overview.
tests/visual/__snapshots__/{desktop,tablet,mobile}/race-hub.png — regenerated. Command Center, Admin, and Live snapshots untouched.

Verification

npm --prefix frontend test -- --run        # 98 unit tests pass
npm --prefix frontend run build            # tsc + vite, clean
npm run test:e2e                           # 18 E2E pass
npm run test:e2e:prod                      # 6 prod smoke pass
npm run test:visual                        # 12 baseline pass after regen
npm run test:visual:prod                   # 12 prod baseline pass after regen

Limitations and Follow-ups

The Race Story tab keeps three legacy datasets behind a sub-segmented control. A future pass could merge classification + position evolution into a single scrollable "story" canvas.
Overview's "Fastest Lap" picks the minimum non-pit-out lap_duration from the ingested laps payload. Sessions that don't ingest laps show "No data ingested" — accurate, but a future phase could fall back to OpenF1's fastest_lap field if/when that lands locally.
The inline weekend switcher fetches the active meeting's /weekend payload only when expanded. Switching seasons or browsing many meetings does not pre-warm sibling weekend queries; this is intentional to avoid the N×weekend fan-out that Command Center already pays.
Visual baselines are regenerated against the current seeded e2e DB. If the seeded session list grows, the desktop snapshot will widen.
Country accents in gpIdentity.ts remain a hand-tuned subset; unknown codes fall back to a neutral gray (same behavior as Command Center).
