Place Composer — One Composer for All

The full home composer becomes place-aware. A destination chip + a Post | Issue type selector extends the existing composer. The lightweight issue-report sheet is retired — issues and posts both land in the place feed as the same post type.

① Same composer, POST mode — from place page ② Same composer, ISSUE mode — civic extras revealed ③ Entry points on the place page (Feed + Issues tabs) ④ Destination picker sheet

One-composer rule
  • Destination chip pre-filled from the place page. Tapping opens the picker sheet (Screen 4).
  • Type selector row is the only new element — rest of the composer is unchanged from the existing create_post.page.dart.
  • Post button stays dim until the user types or attaches media (existing canPost logic).
SCREEN 2

Composer · ISSUE mode

Category chips + title field + routing preview revealed. Poll/GIF hidden. Photo/Video/Camera stay — evidence is vital.

Issue mode — what changes
  • Revealed: Category chips (10 from live i18n strings), title field, routing preview card.
  • Hidden / disabled: GIF + Poll chips (evidence-only media makes sense; opacity 0.35 + no tap).
  • Issue = a post with a civic sub-type — same regionIds attachment, same place feed, same like/comment surface.
  • Title field maps to post title; category maps to a post tag; routing is computed server-side from category + region constituency data.

Entry point defaults
  • From place page Feed tab: compose bar → opens composer in POST mode, destination pre-set to that place.
  • From place page Issues tab: "Report a problem" banner → opens same composer in ISSUE mode, same destination.
  • From home FAB (no place context): no destination chip pre-set; user must pick from destination picker. Default = your home place (primaryLocation).
  • Destination is always visible and changeable — no hidden defaults.

Destination picker — design decisions
  • "Your place" shortcut always pinned first — resolves from user's primaryLocation. Shown with a home pin icon.
  • Tile breadcrumb format: name · type · district, state — matches location_search_sheet.dart result tiles.
  • Search backed by the same Typesense location endpoint used by the existing location search sheet (/location/search).
  • From a place page → that place is pre-selected (checkmark). User can still switch.
  • From home FAB → "Your place" is highlighted but not pre-selected; user confirms or picks another.
Architecture decisions — owner-locked
One Composer Rule
The lightweight issue-report sheet is retired. All creation flows — post, issue, media — go through CreatePostPage. The only additions are the destination chip and the Post | Issue type selector row.
Issue = Post sub-type
An issue is stored as a normal post with a civic sub-type flag and category tag. It carries the same regionIds, appears in the place feed alongside normal posts, and supports the same like/comment/share surface. No separate data model needed.
Hidden in Issue mode
GIF and Poll chips are disabled (opacity 0.35, non-tappable). Photo, Camera, and Video chips remain active — evidence photos/videos are the most important civic attachment. The title field and category chips are revealed instead.
Destination defaults
From a place page → destination pre-filled with that place; user can tap to change. From home FAB → picker opens with user's primaryLocation highlighted as "Your place"; always changeable and visible.
