Implements the researched IA fix: mobile nav UX consensus caps primary
destinations at 4-5 (uxpin.com, fintech/banking 2026 UX research), and
this app had grown to 22 tabs in one horizontally-scrolling row —
exactly the anti-pattern that research flags for choice paralysis and
slower task completion.
New structure — 5 bottom-nav hubs, grouped by what the user is actually
trying to do, not build order:
- Home: Coverage (unchanged, still the landing screen)
- Estate: Assets, Faraid, Insurance, Wassiyah, Hibah, Family Waqf,
Nominate, Claims (H2)
- Giving: Zakat, Sadaqah, Khairat
- Family: Tree, Trigger, Mutawalli, Manage (was 'Family', renamed to
avoid colliding with the hub's own label), Neighbourhood
- Daily: Prayer Times, Qibla, Quran, Locate
Each hub reveals its own sub-nav one tap in, instead of every tab
competing for space in a single row. Settings moved out of the tab
strip entirely into a header gear icon, matching the banking-app pattern
of keeping settings out of primary thumb-reach real estate. The bottom
nav is now fixed (thumb-zone), sub-nav keeps the old sticky-top position.
Cross-component navigation (nav.js requestedTab, used by the Family
Tree's 'give sadaqah in memory' link) now resolves a tab label to its
owning (hub, sub-tab) pair instead of a flat index — verified live.
This touches every E2E suite: a single click on a tab's old selector no
longer reaches it (hub, then sub-tab). Added a shared gotoTab(page, label)
helper to e2e-auth-helper.cjs encapsulating the two-step navigation, and
migrated all ~22 affected test files off direct nav-button selectors —
mechanical substitution followed by manual fixes for local clickTab
wrappers, template-literal selectors, and active-state assertions that
needed to target the new .hub-tab/.subnav structure specifically.
Full regression after migration: every suite passes (one isolated
Family Tree flake confirmed clean on rerun, unrelated to navigation).
Per-member Insurance & Takaful tab (life/Takaful/medical/asset policies,
same author-owns/family-reads pattern as Wassiyah/Waqf), a family-shared
Liabilities section on the Asset Registry (kept distinct from assets since
Faraid requires debts settled before distribution), and dual-path asset
ownership verification (proof document + confirm by either the
mutawalli/agent or any other family member, since not every demo family
has an agent assigned). All proof documents share a new private
nf-asset-documents storage bucket with the same RLS pattern as person
photos. Mutawalli dashboard now surfaces each member's insurance policies.
Covered by e2e-insurance-verification.cjs (12/12); full regression sweep
233/233 across all suites.
