The timeseries card's CSV writer held the only guard against a cell that a spreadsheet would execute — a value opening with `=`, `+`, `-` or `@`. It is moved to a shared module so a second export cannot ship without it, and the timeseries writer now imports it rather than owning it. Adds a writer for a plain column/row matrix, in CSV and XLSX, which the report builder needs and the timeseries model cannot serve: that one is shaped around buckets, group spans and totals rows.

Turns a set of metrics, a period and a granularity into a wide table: one row per person per bucket, the person's org attributes repeated on each so the file can be pivoted without editing. The decisions worth naming, all of them places where a wrong answer would be quiet: Granularity is asked of the server where it has one. Day, week and month exist there, so each bucket is computed where the data is and every metric can be reported — a ratio is that bucket's own ratio. Quarter and year do not exist, so they are months added together, and only there does "may this be added" arise. A distinct count is the trap that makes the question necessary: it is formatted as an integer and reads as a counter, but someone active in two months is distinct in each. Requests are split along two axes. Metrics because the endpoint refuses more than fifty; people because of the projected-row limit. That limit is checked per view and never sees the metric count, so satisfying it alone would let one response carry an unbounded amount — the split is sized on the product instead, which also makes every request comparable in weight. A bucket with no reading stays empty rather than becoming zero, and a person the metrics never mention still gets a row: otherwise "did none" and "was left out of the file" look identical. A run resolves only when every batch has arrived. One that fails or is cancelled yields nothing, because a file missing a few batches reads as a complete one once it is open. Period columns carry the bucket's real span, clipped to the requested range: a report from mid-May shows its first month as starting on the 13th rather than the 1st. Signed-off-by: Alexey Panfilov <Alexey.Panfilov@constructor.tech>
The Reports zone gets its first real surface. Pick metrics, pick a granularity, build, preview, download as CSV or Excel. The people are the topbar's scope and the period is the topbar's period, so the report is about whatever the rest of the portal is already about. Which metrics may be added is asked of the server rather than assumed: a one-day probe over the catalogue collects each metric's `computation`, which rides on results and not on the definition listing. That keeps the answer true for the installation being looked at, where a list of metric keys held in the client would drift the first time a metric is added and would do so silently. Nothing is hidden from the picker. A metric that cannot go in the report is listed with the reason — not computing here, never observed, or not something a quarter can add up — because one that simply vanishes leaves the reader unable to tell "not measured here" from "I misremembered the name". Whole families are affected on an install that does not ingest a source, so this is the difference between an empty-looking product and an honest one. A built report is stamped with what it was built from and is dropped the moment any of that changes. It is held in the screen rather than saved, and a table built monthly would otherwise still be offered after the reader switched to yearly — a file that is wrong in a way its columns do not show.

In `@src/frontend/src/components/portal/report-builder-view.tsx`:
- Around line 126-142: Update the recipe construction near builtFor so it
incorporates the identities of the selected people, not just people.length,
along with the existing granularity, date range, and metric keys. Use a stable
deterministic representation of each exported person value so equal-sized but
different rosters produce different recipes and invalidate the cached table.
In `@src/frontend/src/lib/export/matrix.test.ts`:
- Around line 1-45: Extend the tests around downloadMatrixCsv and
downloadMatrixXlsx to verify delivery through the download mechanism, CSV Blob
contents, XLSX workbook rows, header settings, and forwarded filenames. Reuse
the existing serializer expectations and mock or spy on the browser/download and
workbook APIs so both functions’ observable outputs and configuration are
asserted.
In `@src/frontend/src/lib/export/matrix.ts`:
- Around line 57-59: Update the row mapping in the matrix export loop before
sheet.addRow so non-finite numeric values, including NaN and Infinity, are
converted to null while preserving existing null handling and all finite values.
Keep XLSX output consistent with CSV export.
In `@src/frontend/src/lib/reports/availability.ts`:
- Around line 26-31: Update the computation lookup in the availability logic so
a missing entry in computationByKey produces an unavailable reason instead of
returning null as available. Ensure ReportBuilderView does not permit report
construction, or otherwise prevents buildReportTable and rollUp, until
computation metadata discovery has completed.
In `@src/frontend/src/lib/reports/reports.test.ts`:
- Around line 3-19: Expand the report helper tests to cover collectReportPeople
and unavailableReason, including normalized IDs, empty roots, schema errors,
custom metrics without observations, rollup behavior, missing computation
metadata, and non-additive computations. Reuse the existing report test fixtures
and conventions, and ensure the changed helper code reaches at least 80%
coverage.
In `@src/frontend/src/queries/report-catalogue.ts`:
- Around line 60-65: Update the queryKey in the useQuery call to include a
stable copy of the complete reachable metric-key set, rather than only
keys.length, so replacement metrics produce a distinct cache entry while
preserving the existing personId scoping.

Add coverage for both download functions.
This test covers only the serializers. Add tests for downloadMatrixCsv and downloadMatrixXlsx that verify download delivery, Blob contents, workbook rows, header settings, and filename forwarding.

The new-code gate failed at 49%: the screen, both matrix writers, the catalogue probe and two of the pure helpers had no tests at all. The screen's tests are its promises rather than its markup: a metric nothing has reached is listed disabled with the reason instead of being hidden, a non-additive metric is refused only where buckets are added up, a failed run downloads nothing and says so, and a report is withdrawn when the granularity it was built for changes. Two things the environment made explicit and the tests now record: the checkbox is a span carrying `aria-disabled` rather than a native control, and the preview dialog takes the page behind it out of the accessibility tree, so the download offer is only reachable once it is closed. The probe's request-splitting became testable by exporting it; the hook around it is a thin react-query wrapper. Signed-off-by: Alexey Panfilov <Alexey.Panfilov@constructor.tech>
An unknown computation no longer counts as additive. The probe can still be in flight, and treating silence as permission is how a ratio gets summed into a quarter — the one wrong number this whole path exists to prevent. A test asserted the old behaviour, so the rule was locked in rather than merely missed; it now asserts the refusal, and that finer buckets are unaffected because nothing is added there. A report is now held against the people it was built for rather than how many there were. Two different rosters of equal size looked like the same report, so a table built for one scope stayed downloadable under another — and the file carries the names. The XLSX writer drops a non-finite number instead of writing it into a cell, which can make the workbook unreadable. The CSV writer already refused it; the two now agree. The catalogue probe is cached by the metrics themselves rather than by how many there are. One swapped for another leaves the count unchanged, and the cached answer would then describe a set that no longer exists. Two further comments asked for coverage of the matrix writers and the report helpers; both arrived with the preceding commit. Signed-off-by: Alexey Panfilov <Alexey.Panfilov@constructor.tech>

Four applied in 240546d, two were already in. Unknown computation counted as additive. The worst of the six, and worse than described: I had also written a test asserting that exact behaviour, so the rule was locked in rather than merely missed. An unknown computation is now refused wherever buckets are added, and the test asserts the refusal plus the fact that finer granularities are unaffected — nothing is summed there. The recipe counted people instead of naming them. Two different rosters of equal size read as the same report, so a table built for one scope stayed downloadable under another — and the file carries the names of whoever was in scope when it was built. Now keyed on the person ids, with a test that swaps the scope for a same-size roster and expects the offer to be withdrawn. Non-finite numbers in XLSX. Agreed, and the inconsistency was the giveaway: the CSV writer already refused them and the XLSX one did not. Both now drop them, with a test. The probe's cache key counted metrics instead of naming them. Same shape of bug as the recipe one. Keyed on the sorted key set. The two coverage comments — the matrix writers and the report helpers — arrived with the preceding commit, before this review round: Full suite green (1172), typecheck and lint clean. |

Closes #1570.
Reports → Report builder: pick any set of metrics and a granularity, preview the table, download it as CSV or Excel. Design discussed on #1570; this is the frontend-only build it concluded with, and nothing here is blocked on the backend.
What a reader does
Picks metrics, picks daily / weekly / monthly / quarterly / yearly, presses Build report, sees the table it is about to export, downloads it. People come from the topbar's scope and the period from the topbar's period, so the report is about whatever the rest of the portal is already about.
One row per person per bucket, org attributes repeated on every row so the file can be pivoted without editing first:
From/Toare the bucket's real span clipped to the requested period — a report starting mid-May shows its first month starting on the 13th, so nobody compares a part-month with a whole one.Decisions worth reviewing
Granularity is asked of the server where it has one. Day, week and month exist there, so the server computes each bucket and every metric can be reported — a ratio is that bucket's own ratio. Quarter and year do not exist, so they are months added together, and only there does "may this be added" arise. The trap that makes the question necessary is
distinct_count: formatted as an integer, reads as a counter, and someone active in two months is distinct in each.Which metrics may be added is asked, not assumed.
computationrides on results rather than on the definition listing, so a one-day probe over the catalogue collects it. That keeps the answer true for the installation being looked at; a list of metric keys in the client would drift the first time a metric is added, silently. Publishingcomputationon the listing would remove the probe — worth doing, not required.Nothing is hidden from the picker. A metric that cannot go in the report is listed with the reason: not computing here, never observed, or not something a quarter can add up. On an install that does not ingest a source this removes whole families, and a family that simply vanishes leaves the reader unable to tell "not measured here" from "I misremembered the name".
Requests split along two axes. Metrics because the endpoint refuses more than fifty; people because of the projected-row limit. That limit is checked per view and never sees the metric count, so satisfying it alone would let one response carry an unbounded amount — the split is sized on the product of metrics, people and buckets instead, which also makes each request comparable in weight and the progress honest.
Failure yields nothing. A run resolves only when every batch has arrived; one that fails or is cancelled produces no file, because a file missing a few batches reads as a complete one once it is open. Same reason a built report is stamped with what produced it and dropped when any of it changes: a table built monthly must not still be downloadable after the reader switches to yearly.
Not in scope
person. Aggregating people into a unit is a backend capability, not an export option.Bucket::QuarterandBucket::Yearcomputed where the data is. Nothing here blocks adding them later.Verification
Driven end to end in a browser against a populated instance: the picker's families and disabled reasons, building, the progress count, the preview dialog, both downloads, the clipping of
From/Toat both ends of the period, and that switching granularity withdraws a stale report.Unit tests cover the parts where a wrong answer would be quiet: rollup arithmetic and the empty-versus-zero distinction, the additivity rule per computation, the request split against both caps, the clipped spans, batch merging across chunks, and the CSV formula guard. Full suite green (1143), typecheck and lint clean.
One gap stated plainly: the tooltip carrying a disabled metric's reason did not open on hover in testing — the label wraps a disabled control, which the tooltip primitive appears not to treat as a trigger. A native
titlecarries the same text as a fallback, so the reason is always reachable, but it renders as a system tooltip rather than in the app's style. Worth a follow-up.Summary by CodeRabbit
