# Store Menu: Multi-Platform Module Visibility

**Date:** 2026-03-08
**Status:** Resolved — login platform detection fixed, secondary issues fixed
**Affects:** Store sidebar menu for merchants subscribed to multiple platforms

## Problem Statement

When a merchant subscribes to multiple platforms (e.g., OMS + Loyalty), their stores should see menu items from **all** subscribed platforms. Currently, the store sidebar only shows menu items from the store's **primary platform**, hiding items from other subscribed platforms entirely.

**Example:** Fashion Group S.A. subscribes to both OMS and Loyalty platforms. Their store FASHIONHUB should see loyalty menu items (Terminal, Cards, Statistics) in the sidebar, but doesn't — despite the Loyalty platform having the loyalty module enabled and menu items configured.

## Prior Work: Platform Detection in Store Login

This problem was partially identified in commit `cfce6c0c` (2026-02-24) and documented in [`docs/proposals/store-login-platform-detection.md`](store-login-platform-detection.md).

### What was done then

1. **Identified the root cause:** The middleware-detected platform is unreliable for API paths on localhost (e.g., `/api/v1/store/auth/login` defaults to "main" instead of the store's actual platform).

2. **Applied an interim fix in `store_auth.py`:** Instead of using the middleware-detected platform, the login endpoint now resolves the platform from `StorePlatform.is_primary`:
   ```python
   primary_pid = menu_service.get_store_primary_platform_id(db, store.id)
   ```
   This was explicitly labeled an "interim fix" — it works for single-platform stores but breaks for multi-platform stores.

3. **Added production routing support** (commit `ce5b54f2`, 2026-02-26): `StoreContextMiddleware` now checks `StorePlatform.custom_subdomain` for per-platform subdomain overrides. In production, `acme-rewards.rewardflow.lu` resolves via custom_subdomain → StorePlatform → Store, and the platform is known from the domain.

4. **Documented the open question:** How should the store login determine the correct platform when a store belongs to multiple platforms?

### What was NOT solved

- The store menu endpoint still uses a single `platform_id` from the JWT
- No multi-platform module aggregation for the store sidebar
- The `is_primary` interim fix always picks the same platform regardless of login context

## Root Cause (Full Trace)

### 1. Login bakes ONE platform into the JWT

`app/modules/tenancy/routes/api/store_auth.py` (line ~128):
```python
primary_pid = menu_service.get_store_primary_platform_id(db, store.id)
# Returns the ONE StorePlatform row with is_primary=True (OMS)
token_data = auth_service.create_access_token(
    platform_id=platform_id,  # Only OMS baked into JWT
)
```

### 2. Menu endpoint reads that single platform from JWT

`app/modules/core/routes/api/store_menu.py` (line ~101):
```python
platform_id = current_user.token_platform_id  # OMS from JWT
menu = menu_service.get_menu_for_rendering(
    platform_id=platform_id,  # Only OMS passed here
    # enabled_module_codes is NOT passed (defaults to None)
)
```

### 3. Module enablement checked against single platform

`app/modules/core/services/menu_discovery_service.py` (line ~154):
```python
# Since enabled_module_codes=None, falls into per-platform check:
is_module_enabled = module_service.is_module_enabled(db, OMS_platform_id, "loyalty")
# Returns False — loyalty is enabled on Loyalty platform, not OMS
```

### 4. AdminMenuConfig also queried for single platform

Visibility rows in `AdminMenuConfig` are filtered by `platform_id=OMS`, so Loyalty platform's menu config rows are never consulted.

## How Production Routing Affects This

In production, each platform has its own domain:
- `omsflow.lu` → OMS platform
- `rewardflow.lu` → Loyalty platform

When a store manager goes to `fashionhub.rewardflow.lu/login`:
1. `PlatformContextMiddleware` detects `rewardflow.lu` → Loyalty platform ✓
2. `StoreContextMiddleware` checks `StorePlatform.custom_subdomain="fashionhub"` on Loyalty platform → resolves store ✓
3. Login POST goes to same domain → platform context is Loyalty ✓
4. JWT gets `platform_id=Loyalty` ✓
5. Menu shows only Loyalty items ✓ — but OMS items are now hidden!

**The production routing solves "wrong platform" but introduces "single platform" — the store manager sees different menus depending on which domain they logged in from, but never sees items from both platforms simultaneously.**

## Why the Merchant Portal Works

The merchant menu endpoint aggregates across all subscribed platforms:

```python
# app/modules/core/routes/api/merchant_menu.py
for platform_id in all_subscribed_platform_ids:
    all_enabled |= module_service.get_enabled_module_codes(db, platform_id)

menu = get_menu_for_rendering(enabled_module_codes=all_enabled)
```

## Proposed Fix Direction

### Option A: Aggregate across platforms (like merchant menu)

The store menu endpoint gathers enabled modules from ALL platforms the store is linked to:

```python
# store_menu.py
platform_ids = platform_service.get_active_platform_ids_for_store(db, store.id)
all_enabled = set()
for pid in platform_ids:
    all_enabled |= module_service.get_enabled_module_codes(db, pid)
menu = get_menu_for_rendering(enabled_module_codes=all_enabled)
```

**Pros:** Simple, mirrors merchant pattern, store manager sees everything
**Cons:** AdminMenuConfig visibility still per-platform (needs aggregation too), no visual distinction between platform sources

### Option B: Platform-grouped store menu (like merchant sidebar)

Show items grouped by platform in the store sidebar, similar to how the merchant sidebar groups items under platform headers.

**Pros:** Clear visual separation, respects per-platform menu config
**Cons:** More complex, may be overkill for store context

### Option C: JWT carries login platform, menu aggregates all

Keep the JWT's `platform_id` for audit/context purposes, but change the menu endpoint to always aggregate across all store platforms.

**Pros:** Login context preserved for other uses, menu shows everything
**Cons:** JWT platform becomes informational only

## Secondary Issues (Fix Regardless of Approach)

### A. Loyalty route `/loyalty/programs` does not exist (causes 500)

The onboarding step in `loyalty_onboarding.py` points to `/store/{store_code}/loyalty/programs` but no handler exists. Available: `/loyalty/terminal`, `/loyalty/cards`, `/loyalty/stats`, `/loyalty/enroll`.

**Fix:** Change `route_template` to `/store/{store_code}/loyalty/terminal`.

### B. Broken ORM query in loyalty onboarding

```python
count = db.query(LoyaltyProgram).filter(...).limit(1).count()
# .limit(1).count() is invalid in SQLAlchemy
```

**Fix:** Replace with `.first() is not None`.

### C. Menu item ID mismatch in loyalty module definition

| System | IDs |
|--------|-----|
| Legacy `menu_items` | `"loyalty"`, `"loyalty-cards"`, `"loyalty-stats"` |
| New `menus` | `"terminal"`, `"cards"`, `"stats"` |

**Fix:** Sync legacy IDs with new IDs, re-initialize AdminMenuConfig.
