Natural complement to existing dog profiles - Vaccination expiry alerts are high day-to-day utility - Clearance badges on dog cards improve trust at a glance - Builds toward breeding decision support **Tasks:** - Create `HealthRecordForm` component - Health records list/timeline per dog on DogDetail page - Vaccination tracking with expiry date + alert badge - Health clearance status badges (OFA, CERF, etc.) - Optional document/PDF upload **Estimated Time:** 6-8 hours --- #### Option 2: Genetic Trait Tracking **Complexity:** Medium | **Impact:** Medium | **User Value:** Good **Why consider this:** - Visual color/coat genetics are important for breeders - Links naturally to pedigree view - Useful for marketing/listing dogs **Tasks:** - Trait entry form (coat color, pattern, carried traits) - Display traits on dog detail page - Predicted trait calculator for trial pairings **Estimated Time:** 5-7 hours --- ### Testing Needed - [x] Add/edit dog forms with litter selection - [x] Database schema initialization - [x] Pedigree tree rendering - [x] Zoom/pan controls - [x] UI layout fixes - [x] Error handling for API failures - [x] Parent relationship creation via parents table - [x] Brand logo display and sizing - [x] Gradient title rendering - [x] Static asset serving in prod and dev - [ ] Trial pairing simulator (end-to-end) - [ ] Heat cycle calendar (start cycle, detail modal, whelping) - [ ] Projected whelping calendar identifier (whelp cells, due label, banner) - [ ] Health records ### Known Issues - None currently --- ## How to Contribute 1.
