Quick Start

1. Install Frontend Dependencies

cd /Users/air/Lexecon/frontend
npm install

2. Start Development Server

npm start

Opens at http://localhost:3000

3. View Audit Dashboard

Navigate to http://localhost:3000/audit

Integration with Backend

Required API Endpoints

The audit dashboard expects these endpoints from the Lexecon backend:

GET  /api/v1/audit/decisions          # List all decisions with filters
GET  /api/v1/audit/decisions/:id      # Get single decision details
GET  /api/v1/audit/stats               # Get dashboard statistics
POST /api/v1/audit/verify              # Verify ledger integrity
POST /api/v1/audit/export              # Create audit export
GET  /api/v1/audit/exports             # List export history
GET  /api/v1/audit/exports/:id/download  # Download export file

Sample Data Structures

Decision Entry:

{
  "id": "DEC-2847",
  "timestamp": "2026-01-10T14:32:15Z",
  "action": "Model inference request approved",
  "actor": "system@lexicodinglabs.com",
  "riskLevel": "low",
  "outcome": "approved",
  "signature": "a4f3e8d2c9b1a7f5e3d1c9a7b5f3e1d9...",
  "policyVersion": "v2.1.0",
  "verified": true,
  "appliedPolicies": [
    { "name": "Data Access Control", "result": "passed" },
    { "name": "Risk Assessment", "result": "passed" }
  ]
}

Stats Data:

{
  "totalDecisions": 2847,
  "totalDecisionsChange": "+12%",
  "verifiedEntries": 2847,
  "verifiedPercentage": 100,
  "escalations": 23,
  "escalationsChange": "-8%",
  "highRiskCount": 156,
  "highRiskStatus": "Requiring oversight"
}

Connecting Real Data

Update API Base URL:

# Create .env file in /frontend/
echo "REACT_APP_API_URL=http://localhost:8000" > .env

Replace Sample Data: Edit /frontend/src/components/AuditDashboard.jsx:

// Replace sample data with API calls
const fetchDecisions = async (filters) => {
  const response = await fetch(`${process.env.REACT_APP_API_URL}/api/v1/audit/decisions`, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify(filters)
  });
  return response.json();
};

// Use in component with useEffect or React Query
useEffect(() => {
  fetchDecisions(filters).then(setDecisions);
}, [filters]);

Design System

Design Tokens

All visual properties reference design tokens:

import { tokens } from './design-system/lexecon-design-tokens';

// Use tokens in components
const buttonStyle = {
  backgroundColor: tokens.colors.brand.primary[500],
  padding: `${tokens.spacing[3]} ${tokens.spacing[4]}`,
  borderRadius: tokens.border.radius.lg
};

Available Components

Button - 5 variants (primary, secondary, danger, success, ghost)
Input - Validation, error states
Card - 3 variants (default, elevated, outlined)
Badge - 6 variants with dot indicator
Alert - 4 variants, dismissible
Modal - 5 sizes, accessible
Table - Sortable, selectable
Select - Dropdown with validation
Checkbox - Accessible, labeled
Tabs - 2 variants, keyboard navigation

Usage Example

import { Button, Card, Badge } from './design-system/lexecon-components';

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <Card title="Recent Decisions">
      <Badge variant="success">Active</Badge>
      <Button variant="primary">View Details</Button>
    </Card>
  );
}
