+# Card Boosts Implementation Plan
+
+> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
+
+**Goal:** Extend the Reaction model to support reactions on Cards (not just Comments), with a compact boost count on card previews and full reaction UI in the card detail footer.
+
+**Architecture:** Make Reaction polymorphic with `reactable_type`/`reactable_id`. Create `Cards::ReactionsController` mirroring the existing comment reactions controller. Add views for card reactions in the footer, and a compact count display on card previews.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Rails 8, Turbo, Stimulus, ERB views
+
+---
+
+## Task 1: Migration - Make Reaction Polymorphic
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `db/migrate/YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_make_reactions_polymorphic.rb`
+
+**Step 1: Generate and write the migration**
+
+Run:
+```bash
+bin/rails generate migration MakeReactionsPolymorphic
+```
+
+Then edit the migration file:
+
+```ruby
+class MakeReactionsPolymorphic < ActiveRecord::Migration[8.0]
+  def change
+    add_column :reactions, :reactable_type, :string
+    add_column :reactions, :reactable_id, :uuid
+
+    reversible do |dir|
+      dir.up do
+        execute <<~SQL
+          UPDATE reactions SET reactable_type = 'Comment', reactable_id = comment_id
+        SQL
+      end
+    end
+
+    change_column_null :reactions, :reactable_type, false
+    change_column_null :reactions, :reactable_id, false
+
+    remove_column :reactions, :comment_id, :uuid
+
+    add_index :reactions, [:reactable_type, :reactable_id]
+  end
+end
+```
+
+**Step 2: Run the migration**
+
+Run: `bin/rails db:migrate`
+
+**Step 3: Verify migration succeeded**
+
+Run: `bin/rails runner "puts Reaction.column_names.inspect"`
+
+Expected: Should include `reactable_type` and `reactable_id`, should NOT include `comment_id`
+
+**Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add db/migrate/*_make_reactions_polymorphic.rb db/schema.rb
+git commit -m "Make Reaction polymorphic for card and comment reactions"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 2: Update Reaction Model
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `app/models/reaction.rb`
+
+**Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+Add to `test/models/reaction_test.rb`:
+
+```ruby
+test "reaction can belong to a card" do
+  card = cards(:logo)
+  reaction = card.reactions.create!(content: "🎉")
+
+  assert_equal card, reaction.reactable
+  assert_equal "Card", reaction.reactable_type
+end
+
+test "creating card reaction touches card last_active_at" do
+  card = cards(:logo)
+  original_last_active_at = card.last_active_at
+
+  travel 1.minute do
+    card.reactions.create!(content: "🚀")
+  end
+
+  assert_operator card.reload.last_active_at, :>, original_last_active_at
+end
+```
+
+**Step 2: Run the test to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `bin/rails test test/models/reaction_test.rb`
+
+Expected: FAIL - Card doesn't have `reactions` association yet
+
+**Step 3: Update the Reaction model**
+
+Replace `app/models/reaction.rb`:
+
+```ruby
+class Reaction < ApplicationRecord
+  belongs_to :account, default: -> { reactable.account }
+  belongs_to :reactable, polymorphic: true, touch: true
+  belongs_to :reacter, class_name: "User", default: -> { Current.user }
+
+  scope :ordered, -> { order(:created_at) }
+
+  after_create :register_card_activity
+
+  delegate :all_emoji?, to: :content
+
+  private
+    def register_card_activity
+      reactable.card.touch_last_active_at
+    end
+end
+```
+
+**Step 4: Run tests to verify they still fail (need Card association)**
+
+Run: `bin/rails test test/models/reaction_test.rb`
+
+Expected: FAIL - Card doesn't have `reactions` association
+
+**Step 5: Commit model change**
+
+```bash
+git add app/models/reaction.rb test/models/reaction_test.rb
+git commit -m "Update Reaction model to be polymorphic"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 3: Update Comment Model
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `app/models/comment.rb`
+
+**Step 1: Update Comment association**
+
+In `app/models/comment.rb`, change line 7 from:
+
+```ruby
+has_many :reactions, -> { order(:created_at) }, dependent: :delete_all
+```
+
+to:
+
+```ruby
+has_many :reactions, -> { order(:created_at) }, as: :reactable, dependent: :delete_all
+```
+
+**Step 2: Run existing comment reaction tests**
+
+Run: `bin/rails test test/controllers/cards/comments/reactions_controller_test.rb`
+
+Expected: All tests PASS
+
+**Step 3: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add app/models/comment.rb
+git commit -m "Update Comment reactions association for polymorphic"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 4: Add Reactions to Card Model
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `app/models/card.rb`
+
+**Step 1: Add reactions association to Card**
+
+In `app/models/card.rb`, after the `has_many :comments` line (around line 10), add:
+
+```ruby
+has_many :reactions, -> { order(:created_at) }, as: :reactable, dependent: :delete_all
+```
+
+**Step 2: Run the model tests**
+
+Run: `bin/rails test test/models/reaction_test.rb`
+
+Expected: All tests PASS
+
+**Step 3: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add app/models/card.rb
+git commit -m "Add reactions association to Card model"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 5: Add Routes for Card Reactions
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `config/routes.rb`
+
+**Step 1: Write failing test for routes**
+
+Add to `test/controllers/cards/reactions_controller_test.rb` (new file):
+
+```ruby
+require "test_helper"
+
+class Cards::ReactionsControllerTest < ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest
+  setup do
+    sign_in_as :david
+    @card = cards(:logo)
+  end
+
+  test "routes exist" do
+    assert_routing({ path: "/5986089/cards/#{@card.number}/reactions", method: :get },
+                   { controller: "cards/reactions", action: "index", account_id: "5986089", card_id: @card.number.to_s })
+    assert_routing({ path: "/5986089/cards/#{@card.number}/reactions", method: :post },
+                   { controller: "cards/reactions", action: "create", account_id: "5986089", card_id: @card.number.to_s })
+  end
+end
+```
+
+**Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `bin/rails test test/controllers/cards/reactions_controller_test.rb`
+
+Expected: FAIL - No route matches
+
+**Step 3: Add routes**
+
+In `config/routes.rb`, inside the `resources :cards` block (around line 93), add after `resources :taggings`:
+
+```ruby
+resources :reactions, module: :cards
+```
+
+So it looks like:
+
+```ruby
+resources :taggings
+
+resources :reactions, module: :cards
+
+resources :comments do
+```
+
+**Step 4: Run test to verify routes exist**
+
+Run: `bin/rails test test/controllers/cards/reactions_controller_test.rb`
+
+Expected: FAIL - Controller doesn't exist (but routes work)
+
+**Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add config/routes.rb test/controllers/cards/reactions_controller_test.rb
+git commit -m "Add routes for card reactions"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 6: Create Cards::ReactionsController
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `app/controllers/cards/reactions_controller.rb`
+
+**Step 1: Add controller tests**
+
+Replace `test/controllers/cards/reactions_controller_test.rb`:
+
+```ruby
+require "test_helper"
+
+class Cards::ReactionsControllerTest < ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest
+  setup do
+    sign_in_as :david
+    @card = cards(:logo)
+  end
+
+  test "index" do
+    get card_reactions_path(@card)
+    assert_response :success
+  end

+## Task 8: Add Reactions UI to Card Detail Footer
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `app/views/cards/container/footer/_published.html.erb`
+
+**Step 1: Add reactions to footer**
+
+Replace `app/views/cards/container/footer/_published.html.erb`:
+
+```erb
+<%# FIXME: Let's move this aside outside of the card container section so these frames don't reload/flicker when card is replaced %>
+<div class="card-perma__actions card-perma__actions--left">
+  <%= render "cards/reactions/reactions", card: card %>
+</div>
+
+<div class="card-perma__actions card-perma__actions--right">
+  <%= turbo_frame_tag card, :watch, src: card_watch_path(card), target: "_top", refresh: :morph do %>
+    <%= button_to card_watch_path(card), class: "btn", data: { controller: "tooltip" } do %>
+      <%= icon_tag "bell-off" %> <span class="for-screen-reader">Watch this</span>
+    <% end %>
+  <% end %>
+  <%= turbo_frame_tag card, :pin, src: card_pin_path(card), refresh: :morph do %>

+      <%= icon_tag "unpinned" %> <span class="for-screen-reader">Pin this card</span>
+    <% end %>
+  <% end %>
+</div>
+
+<%= render "cards/container/closure", card: card %>
+```
+
+**Step 2: Manually test in browser**
+
+Run: `bin/dev`
+
+Visit a card detail page and verify the reactions UI appears in the footer.
+
+**Step 3: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add app/views/cards/container/footer/_published.html.erb
+git commit -m "Add reactions UI to card detail footer"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 9: Add Boost Count to Card Preview
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `app/views/cards/display/preview/_reactions.html.erb`
+- Modify: `app/views/cards/display/_preview.html.erb`
+
+**Step 1: Create the preview reactions partial**
+
+Create `app/views/cards/display/preview/_reactions.html.erb`:
+
+```erb
+<% if card.reactions.any? %>
+  <div class="card__reactions align-center gap-half flex-item-justify-end flex-item-no-shrink">
+    <%= image_tag "boost-color.svg", aria: { hidden: true }, class: "card__reactions-icon" %>
+    <strong><%= card.reactions.size %></strong>
+  </div>
+<% end %>
+```
+
+**Step 2: Add to card preview footer**
+
+In `app/views/cards/display/_preview.html.erb`, modify the footer section (lines 47-51) to add the reactions partial. Change from:
+
+```erb
+  <footer class="card__footer flex gap-half">
+    <%= render "cards/display/preview/meta", card: card, preview: true %>
+    <%= render "cards/display/preview/comments", card: card %>
+    <%= render "cards/display/common/background", card: card %>
+  </footer>
+```
+
+to:
+
+```erb
+  <footer class="card__footer flex gap-half">
+    <%= render "cards/display/preview/meta", card: card, preview: true %>
+    <%= render "cards/display/preview/reactions", card: card %>
+    <%= render "cards/display/preview/comments", card: card %>
+    <%= render "cards/display/common/background", card: card %>
+  </footer>
+```
+
+**Step 3: Manually test in browser**
+
+Visit a board page, add a reaction to a card in detail view, then verify the count appears on the card preview.
+
+**Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add app/views/cards/display/preview/_reactions.html.erb app/views/cards/display/_preview.html.erb
+git commit -m "Add boost count to card preview"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 10: Add Fixtures for Card Reactions
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `test/fixtures/reactions.yml`
+
+**Step 1: Add card reaction fixtures**
+
+Add to `test/fixtures/reactions.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+card_reaction_david:
+  id: <%= ActiveRecord::FixtureSet.identify("card_reaction_david", :uuid) %>
+  account: 37s_uuid
+  content: "🚀"
+  reactable_type: Card
+  reactable_id: <%= ActiveRecord::FixtureSet.identify("logo", :uuid) %>
+  reacter: david_uuid
+
+card_reaction_kevin:
+  id: <%= ActiveRecord::FixtureSet.identify("card_reaction_kevin", :uuid) %>
+  account: 37s_uuid
+  content: "👍"
+  reactable_type: Card
+  reactable_id: <%= ActiveRecord::FixtureSet.identify("logo", :uuid) %>
+  reacter: kevin_uuid
+```
+
+Also update existing fixtures to include `reactable_type`:
+
+```yaml
+kevin:
+  id: <%= ActiveRecord::FixtureSet.identify("kevin_reaction", :uuid) %>
+  account: 37s_uuid
+  content: "👍"
+  reactable_type: Comment
+  reactable_id: <%= ActiveRecord::FixtureSet.identify("logo_agreement_jz", :uuid) %>
+  reacter: kevin_uuid
+
+david:
+  id: <%= ActiveRecord::FixtureSet.identify("david_reaction", :uuid) %>
+  account: 37s_uuid
+  content: "👍"
+  reactable_type: Comment
+  reactable_id: <%= ActiveRecord::FixtureSet.identify("logo_agreement_jz", :uuid) %>
+  reacter: david_uuid
+```
+
+**Step 2: Run all tests**
+
+Run: `bin/rails test`
+
+Expected: All tests PASS
+
+**Step 3: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add test/fixtures/reactions.yml
+git commit -m "Add card reaction fixtures"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 11: Run Full Test Suite
+
+**Step 1: Run full CI suite**
+
+Run: `bin/ci`
+
+Expected: All checks PASS
+
+**Step 2: Fix any issues**
+
+If any tests fail, fix them and commit.
+
+---
+
+## Task 12: Style Card Reactions (if needed)
+
+Work with the user to adjust styling for the card reactions in both the detail footer and preview. May need to add CSS for:
+
+- `.card__reactions` - container on preview
+- `.card__reactions-icon` - boost icon sizing
+- Positioning of reactions in footer
+
+This will be an iterative process based on visual feedback.
