Tab-level choice (ped_last_tab) already survived sign-out/in via
localStorage, but sub-pill and sub-tab selections inside a loaded tab
lived only in memory — they reset to defaults after a reload or
browser restart. Now the following are persisted under the ped_ui/
namespace:
- Calculators nav pill (BP / BMI / GCS / …)
- Bedside sub-pill (neonatal / airway / …)
- Well Visit sub-tab (byvisit / milestones / shadess / note)
- Physical Exam Guide age group + system
Implementation:
- Added public/js/ui-state.js — a ~30-line window.UIState wrapper
around localStorage with a ped_ui/ prefix and try/catch around both
read and write (Safari private mode + quota errors silently no-op).
- Each tab's click handler now also calls UIState.set; each tab's
init path calls UIState.get and replays the saved value through
the same function a click would call — so there is exactly one
code path for "show this selection", whether it came from the user
or from a restore. For Bedside, the restore additionally listens
for tabChanged so the lazy-loaded HTML is guaranteed to exist by
the time we re-activate the pill.
Tests:
- e2e/tests/ui-state-persistence.spec.js — 5 specs × 2 viewports =
10 tests. Each clicks the feature, reloads the page, and asserts
the same pill / subtab / dropdown value is still active. Catches
any future regression in the persistence wiring.
- e2e/tests/soap-hospital-workflow.spec.js — fills SOAP transcript,
generates via mocked AI, clears, opens/closes load popovers; also
smoke-tests the Hospital Course save-bar.
Suite: 250 passed / 0 failed (+ 20 over the last run).
drop grunting + dead synth module
Three lung sounds that were Web-Audio syntheses now play real clinical
recordings sourced from the HLS-CMDS manikin dataset (MIT license):
- normal-vesicular.ogg
- rhonchi.ogg
- pleural-rub.ogg
Dropped expiratory grunting from the library entirely — no
openly-licensed clinical recording located across Wikimedia, Freesound
CC0, SPRSound, Pixabay, Internet Archive, or Littmann/EasyAuscultation
(all proprietary). Card is honest by omission rather than hiding a
synth behind a Play-only UI.
All seven remaining entries now use the same native <audio controls>
player (pause, seek, volume). The synth fallback branch in
renderSoundCard, the stopAllExcept synth reset loop, the script tag,
and the entire public/js/respiratorySounds.js (332 lines of Web Audio)
are removed since nothing references them anymore.
User-visible changes:
- Removed the REAL / SYNTH badge from each sound card. User feedback:
"ridiculous". Cards now just show the sound title + description +
player, no distinction beyond the player type (native <audio controls>
for recordings, play/stop/progress bar for synth).
- Removed the "real recordings; synth labelled SYNTH" subtitle from
the sounds library header.
- Single-playback policy across the whole PE Guide: when any sound
starts (audio or synth), every other playing sound stops. Covers:
audio → audio (pause the previous), audio → synth, synth → audio,
synth → synth. Listeners attach on each .pe-audio 'play' event and
on every synth play-button click.
E2E infrastructure fixes (for the test failures we hit):
- auth-gated-smoke.spec.js now imports test + loginAs from the shared
fixtures.js so the token cache is unified across every spec. Without
this, each spec file's module-scoped _tokenCache multiplied logins
and hit the 10/15min rate limit.
- server.js: /api/auth/login rate limit is now configurable via
LOGIN_RATE_LIMIT_MAX env var (default 10, prod unchanged).
- docker-compose.e2e.yml: LOGIN_RATE_LIMIT_MAX="500" so Playwright's
two-project (chromium + mobile-chrome) multi-worker runs can do
their logins without tripping the cap. Prod container unaffected.
- fixtures.js console.error allowlist expanded to suppress known
non-bugs: Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy warnings on http:// e2e
server, transient 401/403/404/503 resource loads, ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT.
Three user-flagged fixes:
1. Cardiac sounds library expanded from 3 to 7 (from Wikimedia Commons
heart-sounds + heart-murmurs subcategories). All real recordings:
- Normal (61 bpm) [existing]
- Infant heartbeat [new — pediatric reference]
- VSD [existing]
- Mitral valve prolapse [existing]
- Still's murmur in a toddler [new — classic innocent murmur]
- Functional murmur (adult female) [new — benign flow murmur]
- PVCs [new — arrhythmia]
All with native <audio controls> (play/pause/seek/elapsed/total
work on desktop AND mobile for free).
2. APTM diagram is now full-width on every device, no longer sharing
row space with the legend on mobile:
- Image always on its own row, max-width:420px, centered
- Wrapped in an <a href target="_blank"> — tap/click opens the PNG
full-size in a new tab where browser pinch-zoom works natively
- "Tap to open full-size" hint line under the image
- Legend below uses auto-fit minmax(min(100%,260px),1fr) so it stacks
on narrow viewports without cramping
3. Synth sounds (rhonchi, pleural rub, grunting, normal vesicular — all
Web-Audio-API generated, no native controls) now have:
- Play button → kicks off playback and hides itself
- Stop button appears, lets user terminate early
- Progress bar animates over 3.2 s, resets at end
- Only one synth sound plays at a time (clicking another stops the
previous)
Three user-flagged issues fixed together:
1. Mixed real/synth audio was labelled only "synthesised samples" — misleading
since wheeze, stridor, fine+coarse crackles are real Wikimedia recordings.
Now each sound card has a REAL or SYNTH badge and the library header
reads: "real recordings where available; synthesised approximations
labelled SYNTH".
2. No murmur sounds in the CV section. Added a Cardiac sounds library
between the APTM diagram and the innocent-murmur panel:
- Normal heart sounds (S1, S2) — 61 bpm reference
- Ventricular septal defect (VSD) — harsh holosystolic at LLSB
- Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) — mid-systolic click + late systolic
All 3 are real recordings from Wikimedia Commons.
3. No pause / stop / duration controls. Replaced the synth-only play
button with a native <audio controls> element for every real
recording — gives play, pause, seek, elapsed/total time, volume
for free on desktop AND mobile (browser-native, accessibility-
compliant, consistent with platform conventions). Synth sounds
(rhonchi, pleural rub, grunting, normal vesicular) keep the one-
shot play button since they\'re Web-Audio-API generated and don\'t
support seeking.
Mobile layout:
- The APTM diagram + legend was hard-coded 2-col (minmax(280px,1fr) 1fr)
which could overflow narrow screens. Switched to repeat(auto-fit,
minmax(280px,1fr)) — stacks to 1-col below ~580 px viewport.
- Refactored sound-library + APTM render into helpers (renderSoundCard,
renderSoundsLibrary, TWO_COL_GRID constant) to reduce duplication.
Four changes rolled together:
1. REAL AUDIO from Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 3.0, attribution to follow
in privacy policy per Daniel). Embedded in /public/audio/ — synthesis
stays as fallback for sounds not available from Wikimedia.
respiratorySounds.js now tries the real OGG first; falls back to Web
Audio synthesis if file missing.
2. REAL APTM IMAGE from Daniel's Nextcloud share, placed at
/public/images/pe-guide/aptm.png (134 KB PNG). Replaces the inline SVG.
Kept the side legend with A/P/E/T/M colour-coded points.
3. INNOCENT MURMUR REFERENCE PANEL below the APTM diagram with the 5
classic innocent murmurs (Still's, pulmonary flow, venous hum, carotid
bruit, PPS) — age, location, character, confirming maneuver — plus
the 7 "S" criteria summary.
4. ALL-AGE RESP + CV DATA. Before: only adolescent. Now every age group
has age-appropriate resp + cv content (newborn through adolescent).
Newborn: Silverman, pre/postductal sats, duct-dependent lesion screen.
Infant: bronchiolitis, CHF diaphoresis, VSD, early CHD.
Toddler: croup/FB/epiglottitis, innocent murmur peak age.
Preschool + school-age: adult-pattern transition, sports screening.
Fourth PE system added. Adolescent cardiovascular exam at the same
teaching-focused depth as respiratory/neuro: five components with
significance + pearls + detailed step methods + watch-for blocks.
APTM auscultation diagram (new, inline SVG, no image file):
- Stylised anterior chest with sternum, clavicles, ICS level lines,
left mid-clavicular line
- Five colour-coded landmarks:
A Aortic — 2nd ICS right sternal border
P Pulmonic — 2nd ICS left sternal border
E Erb's pt — 3rd ICS left sternal border
T Tricuspid — 4th ICS left sternal border
M Mitral — 5th ICS mid-clavicular (apex)
- Side legend: location + what to listen for at each point
- Patient's-left / patient's-right labels to prevent mirror-image
confusion
CV-specific grading scales (3 new entries in SCALES):
- Murmur grade Levine 1–6
- Pulse amplitude 0–4+
- Capillary refill time thresholds
CV components:
1. Inspection (general appearance, central/peripheral cyanosis,
clubbing with Schamroth sign, precordial bulge, visible apex, JVP)
2. Palpation (apex position + character, parasternal heave, thrills
at all 5 points, peripheral pulses upper + lower, radio-femoral
delay for coarctation)
3. Auscultation — approach (positioning, diaphragm vs bell, systematic
walk through all 5 points, left lateral decub for MS, leaning
forward for AR)
4. Auscultation — heart sounds + murmurs (S1, S2 split, S3/S4 gallops,
murmur characterisation by timing/location/radiation/character,
Levine grading, dynamic maneuvers, innocent-murmur "7 S" pearl)
5. Peripheral vascular (four-limb BP for coarctation, radio-femoral
delay, bounding pulse differential)
UI wiring:
- renderSystem() emits APTM diagram card at the top of cv system,
before scales. Two-column layout: SVG on left, legend on right.
- accentMap/iconMap/labelMap extended with cv = rose accent,
heart-pulse icon, "Cardiovascular" label
- New sub-tab pill in pe-guide.html
Third PE system added. Adolescent respiratory fully fleshed out with
the same teaching-focused depth as neuro: overview, grading scales,
per-component significance + pearls, detailed step methods with HOW
and NORMAL labels, and a watch-for red-flag block.
New respiratorySounds.js uses the Web Audio API to synthesize 8 classic
breath sounds on demand — no network, no audio files, no licensing:
- Normal vesicular
- Wheeze (two-partial + vibrato, filtered sawtooth)
- Stridor (inspiratory, bandpass-filtered sawtooth sweep)
- Fine crackles (dense brief high-freq noise bursts, late inspiration)
- Coarse crackles (sparser, longer, lower-freq bursts)
- Rhonchi (low-pitched warbled sawtooth, expiratory)
- Pleural friction rub (bandpass noise, biphasic)
- Expiratory grunting (square-wave short grunts)
Sounds are synthesised approximations intended to teach the pattern
(what makes a wheeze a wheeze vs a stridor). Labelled as such in the UI.
Controls: one play at a time, auto-stop ~3s.
Respiratory-specific grading scales:
- RR by age (WHO tachypnea cutoffs)
- Pulse ox (SpO2) with hypoxemia thresholds
- Silverman–Andersen (neonatal retractions, 0–10)
- Westley croup severity score
Components in adolescent respiratory:
1. Inspection (observation-first — RR, pattern, WOB, audible sounds,
chest shape, colour, clubbing with Schamroth sign)
2. Palpation (trachea, expansion symmetry, tactile fremitus,
tenderness, subcutaneous emphysema)
3. Percussion (technique + systematic zones + cardiac/hepatic
dullness + diaphragmatic excursion)
4. Auscultation — normal breath sounds (vesicular, bronchovesicular,
bronchial) with systematic side-to-side comparison
5. Auscultation — adventitious sounds with per-sound listen buttons
linking directly to the sounds library
6. Special maneuvers — bronchophony, egophony, whispered pectoriloquy
Older age groups (newborn through school-age) will get their own resp
blocks incrementally — v1 focused on adolescent for the quality bar.
UI: new sub-tab pill "Respiratory" with lung icon, sky-blue accent.
renderSystem refactored to use accent/icon maps instead of per-system
if/else — scales to future systems (cardiovascular coming next).
User feedback: the exam steps were too generic (e.g. "Shoulder abduction
— 5/5 bilaterally" never explained what 5/5 means or HOW to test it).
The guide needs to serve as a teaching tool, not just a checkbox list.
Three changes:
1. GRADING SCALES reference card (new). Collapsible panel at the top of
each system showing the relevant scales:
- Neuro: MRC strength (0-5), DTR (0-4+), Plantar response
- MSK: Scoliometer ATR, Beighton hypermobility score
Each scale shows the grade AND its clinical meaning in a compact
table. No more orphan "5/5 bilaterally" without definition.
2. Per-component SIGNIFICANCE + PEARL fields (optional). Adolescent
neuro components enriched with:
- Significance: one-line clinical relevance (what this component is
actually for — what pathologies it detects)
- Teaching pearl: a Hutchison/Bates/Nelson-style tip that helps the
learner see past the mechanics to the reasoning
Visually distinct — pearl gets a warm amber accent, significance is
a crosshair icon under the name.
3. Method strings REWRITTEN for every adolescent strength step. Before:
"Shoulder abduction — 5/5 bilaterally". After: "Patient abducts both
arms to 90°. Examiner pushes down on each arm just above the elbow
while patient resists. Compare sides. — Holds against full resistance
— MRC 5/5 bilaterally". Same treatment for all 14 strength steps,
all 8 DTR steps, and tone/pronator-drift.
UI redesign:
- Accent bars on cards (cyan for MSK, purple for neuro) for visual
anchor
- Numbered step circles instead of "1." prefix
- HOW / NORMAL label badges on each step
- Watch-for block with red left-border for red-flag grouping
- System-level header with icon (bone for MSK, brain for neuro)
Other age groups (newborn through school-age) keep the old data shape
(steps without pearls) — they still render correctly, just without the
pearl/significance blocks. Enriching them is an incremental follow-up.
Replaces the generic one-line-per-component format with a step-level
checklist. Each exam component now contains 3–13 discrete steps, each
with its own Normal/Abnormal/Skip toggle and optional abnormal note.
Physician ticks the exam off step-by-step; report generation
summarises at the component level but knows exactly which steps were
performed.
Example — previously the adolescent "Cranial nerves (II–XII)" was a
single row: "How to perform: Full formal adult-pattern exam. Expected:
All cranial nerves intact." That's unhelpful. Now it's 14 discrete
steps: CN I, CN II acuity, CN II fields, CN II fundoscopy, CN II/III
pupils, CN III/IV/VI EOM, CN V sensation V1/V2/V3, CN V motor, CN V
corneal, CN VII forehead/eye-close/smile/puff, CN VIII, CN IX/X, CN
XI, CN XII — each with specific method and expected finding. Same
depth for MSK: scoliosis = 5 discrete steps (standing inspection,
Adam forward-bend, rib-hump check, scoliometer, plumb-line), joint
stability = 8 named tests (Lachman, anterior drawer, varus/valgus,
McMurray, apprehension, Neer/Hawkins, anterior drawer ankle, talar
tilt), Beighton = 5 per-joint measurements, etc.

Backend route accepts the flat step array (grouped by component on
the server), passes structured text to the AI with methods and
expected findings per step. Prompts updated to summarise at the
component level rather than step-by-step, so output is clinically
readable.
Scope: MSK + Neuro × 6 age groups (newborn, infant, toddler, preschool,
school-age, adolescent). More systems follow the same pattern —
append to PE_DATA.
New top-level tab (positioned after Catch-Up Schedule) combining two
functions:
1. Study reference — for each (age group, system) shows OSCE-style
components with technique, expected normal finding, and abnormal-
feature watch-list.
2. Documentation generator — physician marks each component
Normal / Abnormal (with free-text detail) / Skip; AI produces a
two-section report (Technique + Findings), narrative or structured
list format.
Scope v1: MSK + Neuro × 6 age groups (newborn, infant, toddler,
preschool, school-age, adolescent). More systems can be added to the
embedded PE_DATA in peGuide.js without route changes.
