Lite v1 / 02 Create — local event setup (no map, no presets)

[evanqua]

Summary

Build a separate Lite event creation page that captures essential setup data (teams, supervisors, posts, schedule, equipment) and creates a local event record with a browser-generated event ID.

Motivation

Lite mode intentionally has no backend persistence and no venue presets. Users should be able to create an event from scratch in-browser and immediately move to dispatch.

Proposed solution

• Add /lite/create page with setup fields:
  • Event name/date
  • Teams
  • Supervisors
  • Posts (text locations only)
  • Posting schedule
  • Equipment
• Do not include venue presets or map UI.
• Generate local event ID in-browser.
• Persist event setup locally (IndexedDB preferred).
• Route to /lite/events/[localEventId]/dispatch after create.
• Keep form behavior similar to cloud create flow where possible, but fully local.

Alternatives considered

• Reuse current cloud create page with mode toggles. Rejected due to direct backend coupling and draft-event key assumptions.
• Skip setup and jump directly to dispatch. Rejected due to missing staffing/schedule context.

Mockups / Examples

• User clicks “Start Lite Mode”
• User completes Lite event setup form
• User continues to Lite dispatch page with prefilled setup data

Acceptance criteria

• Lite create page works with no auth and no backend reads/writes.
• Local event ID is generated client-side.
• Required setup fields persist locally and survive page refresh.
• User can proceed directly from Lite create to Lite dispatch.
• No cloud create flow regressions.
