Group events into five temporal sections with section headers, date subheaders, and context-aware time display (clock time for upcoming, relative for past). Includes new useEventGrouping composable, SectionHeader and DateSubheader components, full unit and E2E test coverage. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Implementation Plan: Event List Temporal Grouping
Branch: 010-event-list-grouping | Date: 2026-03-08 | Spec: specs/010-event-list-grouping/spec.md
Input: Feature specification from /specs/010-event-list-grouping/spec.md
Summary
Extend the existing flat event list with temporal section grouping (Today, This Week, Later, Past). The feature is purely client-side: the existing EventList.vue computed property that separates events into upcoming/past is refactored into a four-section grouping with section headers, date subheaders, and context-aware time formatting. No backend changes, no new dependencies.
Technical Context
Language/Version: TypeScript 5.9 (frontend only)
Primary Dependencies: Vue 3, Vue Router 5 (existing — no additions)
Storage: localStorage via useEventStorage.ts composable (existing — no changes)
Testing: Vitest (unit), Playwright + MSW (E2E)
Target Platform: PWA, mobile-first, all modern browsers
Project Type: Web application (frontend enhancement)
Performance Goals: Grouping computation < 1ms for 100 events (trivial — single array pass)
Constraints: Client-side only, no additional network requests, offline-capable
Scale/Scope: Typically < 50 events per user in localStorage
Constitution Check
GATE: Must pass before Phase 0 research. Re-check after Phase 1 design.
| Principle | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| I. Privacy by Design | PASS | No new data collection. Grouping uses existing dateTime field. No external services. |
| II. Test-Driven Methodology | PASS | Unit tests for grouping logic + E2E tests for all user stories planned. TDD enforced. |
| III. API-First Development | N/A | No API changes — purely frontend enhancement. |
| IV. Simplicity & Quality | PASS | Minimal new code: one composable for grouping, template changes in EventList. No over-engineering. |
| V. Dependency Discipline | PASS | No new dependencies. Uses browser Intl API and existing Date methods. |
| VI. Accessibility | PASS | Section headers use semantic HTML (<h2>/<h3>), ARIA landmarks, keyboard navigable. WCAG AA contrast enforced. |
Gate result: PASS — no violations.

Structure Decision: Frontend-only changes. Two new small components (SectionHeader, DateSubheader) and one new composable (useEventGrouping). Existing components modified minimally.
