Updated the Calendar component's route from "/event-calendar" to "/calendar" for clarity. Enhanced the Home component to provide dynamic content based on the presence of students and teams, introducing new sections for "Getting Started" and "Team Building". Improved the DashboardCard component to support emphasized styling for better visual hierarchy. Updated the navigation menu to reflect these changes and ensure a more intuitive user experience.
Implements a flexible validation framework for student rankings, team assignments, and team composition with administrator-configurable rules and thresholds.
Validation System:
- Reflection-based rule discovery eliminates manual registration
- Base classes (RequiredEventTypeRuleBase, EventCountThresholdRuleBase) reduce code duplication by ~250 lines
- 12 validation rules covering event requirements, counts, and team constraints
- Configurable severity levels (Warning/Error) per rule type
- ValidationService with caching for optimal performance
- Rules apply contextually (StudentRanking, StudentAssignment, TeamComposition)
Configuration & Admin UI:
- ValidationSettings admin page for editing thresholds and severity levels
- ChapterSettings admin page for editing chapter information
- Settings stored in Data/appsettings.json for runtime configuration
- JSON config works in both development and production environments
- Auto-creates Data directory and config template on first run
User Experience:
- ValidationWarnings component displays inline warnings/errors
- Integrated in Event Ranking, Registration, and Team Assignment pages
- Color-coded severity indicators (warning yellow, error red)
- Includes "Too Many Regional Events" rule (max 3 recommended)
Technical Improvements:
- Template Method pattern for rule base classes
- Singleton rule instances with lazy initialization
- Configuration loaded via IConfiguration with fallback to defaults
- Safe JSON updates preserve other appsettings sections
