Trump Alpha — Frontend (trumpsignal.com)

Next.js 16 dashboard for the Trump Alpha backend. Real-time signals, Hyperliquid position management UI, KOL talks-vs-trades view, Macro Vibes regime panel. Read-only for the public; wallet-bound features (Pro) for auto-trade subscribers.

This is the AI-readable entry doc. Read this first on entering the repo.

What this repo is

• Pure frontend — Next.js 16 App Router, TypeScript, server components + client components, deployed to Vercel.
• Talks to a Python backend at https://api.trumpsignal.com (or localhost:8000 in dev). All trading state, signals, AI scoring, Hyperliquid integration lives in the sibling /Users/k/Public/Claude/ backend repo. See its CLAUDE.md.
• No server-side trading logic lives here. Frontend is a thin layer over the API + WebSocket — even "open a position" routes to a backend endpoint that does the signed-request verification + HL call.

---

Stack quirks (Next.js 16 specific)

• proxy.ts replaces middleware.ts in Next.js 16. Routes that need CORS / locale rewriting go through proxy.ts at the root.
• params is async (Promise<{...}>) in all dynamic routes. ALL page components await it:

  export default async function Page({ params }: { params: Promise<{ locale: string }> }) {
    const { locale } = await params
    ...
  }
  

  Forgetting the await redirects to /undefined/... silently. Several pages were broken this way pre-v2.0 — be alert if you copy older patterns.
• i18n is shelved. The [locale] segment exists, messages/zh.json exists, but Chinese branches are kept as dead code with a comment // i18n shelved — see messages/zh.json. Don't activate without an ADR. Currently isZh = false is hardcoded in metadata generators.
• runtime = 'edge' on a few routes (app/icon.tsx, OG image generator). Edge runtime has no fs / no Node APIs — don't import server-side libs there.

API layer

All API calls go through lib/api.ts. Single fetchJson<T> wrapper:

• Reads base URL from env (NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL) or proxies through /api/proxy/[...path]/ for same-origin CORS-free calls.
• Wallet-scoped reads (/user/.../public, /positions/open) pass wallet as query param + signed ts/sig.
• Mutations (subscribe, manual_close, set_auto_trade, manual-window) build an EIP-191 signed payload via wagmi → POST signed envelope.

Auth model: no sessions, no cookies. Wallet address + signed timestamp

• signature on every mutating call. Verification lives in the backend (signed_request.verify_signed_request). The same wallet that signed the HL API key envelope at subscribe time is the only one that can later mutate the subscription.

---

State management

• No global store (no Redux/Zustand). Tree-local state + props.
• SWR-style cache in lib/cache.ts for the API-heavy pages.
• WebSocket singleton via WsProvider — used by SignalMonitor and live price tickers.
• localStorage holds wallet address only (for re-connect UX). HL API keys NEVER touch the client — they're submitted once at subscribe, sent encrypted, and decrypted only inside the backend.

---

Design system

Tokens in app/[locale]/globals.css:

• Colors — oklch() color space throughout. Brand orange = #f5a524, brand dark = #0a0907. var(--up) green / var(--down) red / var(--ink-1..3) text tiers.
• Dark mode via [data-theme="dark"] attribute on <html>. Most components use oklch(L% c h) so dark/light switching is automatic.
• Macro Vibes specific — extensive .macro-* classes for the 8-indicator layout. Threshold chips have :not(.active) { opacity: 0.45 } and .active is tone-filled (green/red/amber).

---

Things that LOOK like bugs but aren't

• Old code references "/en/btc" — Macro Vibes was renamed from "BTC Signal" in v2.0. All routes are now /en/macro. If you find a stale /en/btc reference, it's a real bug — fix it (we've found and fixed 3).
• isZh = false in metadata generators — i18n was shelved pre-launch. See "Stack quirks" above.
• Multiple proxy.ts patterns — Next.js 16 split middleware behaviour. Keep proxy logic in the single proxy.ts at root.
• 'use client' directives on many pages — necessary for client-side WS / wallet interactions. Don't try to convert without verifying the WS
  • wagmi imports work in server components.

How to verify changes locally

# Type check (must pass with 0 errors)
npx tsc --noEmit

# Production build (catches missing pages, stale imports)
rm -rf .next && npx next build

# Dev server
npm run dev

# Pages-200 sweep (every locale page returns 200)
for p in /en /en/trump /en/macro /en/kol /en/trades /en/posts /en/settings \
         /en/methodology /en/glossary /en/case-studies /en/privacy /en/terms; do
  echo "$p $(curl -so /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' http://localhost:3000$p)"
done

SEO / GEO surface (don't break)

• app/layout.tsx has JSON-LD schema.org markup (Organization, SoftwareApplication, FAQ). Search engines + AI crawlers read this.
• public/llms.txt — canonical doc for AI crawlers (Perplexity, ChatGPT browse, Google AI Overviews). Edit BOTH this file AND layout.tsx when renaming product features.
• app/sitemap.ts — sitemap.xml. Add new routes here.
• OG image — app/opengraph-image.tsx dynamically renders the social card. Keep the brand pill list in sync with current features.

---

Coupling to backend

• API contract lives in TypeScript types under lib/api.ts (e.g. OpenPositionsResponse, TodayStats, BotTrade). These must match the backend Pydantic models in app/api/*/positions.py etc.
• When backend adds a field (e.g. BotTrade.released_at), this repo's lib/api.ts types may need updating to surface it in the UI. Currently released trades are FILTERED OUT by the backend's /positions/open — they don't appear here, so no UI for "managed vs released" yet.
• When backend renames a route (e.g. /btc/page.tsx → /macro/page.tsx), search for ALL references (including telegram deep-link map in backend/app/services/telegram.py).

---

Deploy

Vercel auto-deploys main branch pushes. No special build flags. Env vars in Vercel dashboard:

• NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL — backend HTTPS origin
• NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL — canonical site URL (used for OG, sitemap)
• NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_URL — WebSocket endpoint (usually wss://api...)

Sibling repo

• /Users/k/Public/Claude/backend — Python/FastAPI backend, includes Hyperliquid integration, Telegram bot, AI scoring (DeepSeek), all signal scanners, the adoption/release flow. See its CLAUDE.md.
