+## Purpose
+This document serves as a reference for replicating the desktop JavaFX application layout in the web-based React application (FR-008 requirement). The web UI should match the desktop UI layout and interaction patterns.
+
+## Overall Layout Structure
+
+The application uses a **70/30 horizontal split**:
+- **Left panel (70% width)**: Map display with drawing overlay
+- **Right panel (30% width)**: Vertical stack of control panels
+
+**Window dimensions**: 1000px × 900px

+
+## Interaction Patterns
+
+### Mission Planning Workflow
+
+1. User selects behavior from "+ Add Behaviour" dropdown
+2. Configuration dialog appears
+3. User enters parameters
+4. User draws on map (polygon, waypoints, or point)
+5. User clicks OK
+6. Behavior added to Mission Plan list
+7. Pattern visualized on map
+8. Start button becomes enabled
+
+### Simulation Execution Workflow
+
+1. User clicks Start
+2. Platform marker appears at first waypoint
+3. Platform moves along path with realistic dynamics
+4. State Panel updates in real-time (60 FPS target)
+5. Time acceleration can be adjusted during simulation
+6. User can Pause/Resume or Stop at any time
+7. Behaviors transition automatically when complete
+8. Mission completes when all behaviors finish
+
+### Save/Load Workflow
+
+1. **Save**: Click ⬇ button → File chooser → Save as GeoJSON
+2. **Load**: Click ⬆ button → File chooser → Select GeoJSON → Mission restores
+
+## Technical Implementation Details
+
+**Threading**:
+- UI updates on JavaFX Application Thread
+- Simulation runs on dedicated SimulationEngine thread
+- No blocking operations on UI thread
+
+**Map Implementation**:
+- Uses JXMapViewer2 library (Swing-based, embedded in JavaFX)
+- OpenStreetMap tile provider
+- Custom overlays for geometry rendering
+
+**Layout Manager**: BorderPane (root) with VBox for right panel
+
+**Event Handling**: Callbacks and handlers wired in MainView and MissionController
+
+**Window Dimensions**: 1000px × 900px (from Scene creation in MainView:178)
+
+## Web Replication Requirements (FR-008)
+
+The web-based React application should replicate:
+
+1. **Layout structure**: 70/30 split with identical panel placement
+2. **Control placement**: Same button positions and slider layout
+3. **Panel content**: Same fields and information display
+4. **Interaction patterns**: Same workflow for planning and execution
+5. **Visual consistency**: Similar colors, fonts, and spacing
+6. **Behavior dialogs**: Same configuration fields and drawing instructions
+
+**Key differences allowed**:
+- Map library: Leaflet (web) vs JXMapViewer2 (desktop)
+- UI framework: React (web) vs JavaFX (desktop)
+- File handling: Browser download/upload vs native file chooser
+
+**Not required to match**:
+- Exact pixel dimensions (responsive design acceptable)
+- Native OS styling (web uses consistent cross-platform styling)
+- Font rendering (browser fonts vs system fonts)
+

+- `MapPanel.tsx`: Leaflet map centered on Portland Harbour (50.6°N, -2.4°W)
+- `ControlPanel.tsx`: Placeholder with heading
+- `MissionPlanPanel.tsx`: Placeholder with heading
+- `StatePanel.tsx`: Placeholder with heading
+- `services/api.ts`: Axios instance configured
+- `services/HealthService.ts`: Health check polling (5s interval)
+
+## Blocked Tasks
+
+### ⏸️ T065: Run Locally with PORT=5000
+
+**Blocker**: Maven network connectivity failure
+
+**Issue**: Persistent DNS resolution error for `repo.maven.apache.org`
+```
+Could not transfer artifact ... from/to central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2):
+repo.maven.apache.org: Temporary failure in name resolution
+```
+
+**Attempted**:
+- Multiple retry attempts with exponential backoff (2s, 4s, 8s, 16s)
+- Tried `mvn clean package`
+- Tried `mvn spring-boot:run`
+- Tried `mvn clean compile`
+
+**Failed Plugins**:
+- `frontend-maven-plugin:1.15.0` (temporarily disabled)
+- `spring-boot-maven-plugin:3.3.5`
+- All Maven core plugins (compiler, resources, etc.)
+
+**Workaround Applied**:
+- Frontend built manually with npm ✅
+- Frontend copied to static resources ✅
+- Frontend-maven-plugin commented out in pom.xml
+
+**What's Needed**:
+- Network connectivity to Maven Central restored
+- OR: Pre-cached Maven dependencies in local repository
+- OR: Alternative Maven mirror configuration
+
+**Expected Outcome** (when unblocked):
+```bash
+mvn clean package -DskipTests
+# Creates: target/usv-mission-planner-1.0.0.jar (unified JAR, ~76MB)
+
+PORT=5000 java -jar target/usv-mission-planner-1.0.0.jar
+# Starts Spring Boot on port 5000
+# Frontend accessible at http://localhost:5000
+# API endpoints at http://localhost:5000/api/*
+```
+
+### ⏸️ T066: Test Health Check with Backend Stop/Restart
+
+**Blocker**: Backend not running (depends on T065)
+
+**Expected Test**:
+1. Start backend: `java -jar target/usv-mission-planner-1.0.0.jar`
+2. Open frontend in browser: `http://localhost:5000`
+3. Verify health indicator shows green dot (●) + "Connected"
+4. Stop backend (Ctrl+C or pkill)
+5. Verify frontend shows red dot (●) + "Disconnected" warning modal
+6. Restart backend
+7. Verify frontend reconnects automatically (green dot returns)
+
+**Health Check Implementation** (already coded):
+- Frontend: `HealthService.ts` polls `GET /api/health` every 5 seconds
+- Backend: `HealthController.java` returns `{status: "UP", timestamp, version}`
+- UI: Connection indicator in top-right of header
+- Modal: "Connection Lost" dialog with "Reconnecting..." message
+
+## Architecture Changes
+
+### Unified JAR Structure
+
+Modified `pom.xml` to create a unified JAR containing both desktop and web:
+
+**Contents**:
+- JavaFX desktop application (`com.planetmayo.usvsim.view` + `controller`)
+- Spring Boot web application (`com.planetmayo.usvsim.api`)
+- React frontend (embedded in `BOOT-INF/classes/static/`)
+- Shared model layer (`com.planetmayo.usvsim.model`, `util`)
+
+**Build Process**:
+1. Frontend Maven Plugin: Install Node, npm install, npm build (currently disabled)
+2. Maven Resources Plugin: Copy `frontend/build/` → `src/main/resources/static/`
+3. Maven Compiler Plugin: Compile Java sources
+4. Spring Boot Maven Plugin: Repackage as executable JAR with main class `USVWebApplication`
+
+**Dual Execution Modes**:
+```bash
+# Desktop mode (JavaFX)
+java -jar target/usv-mission-planner-1.0.0.jar
+# Launches JavaFX UI if DISPLAY is set
+
+# Web mode (Spring Boot)
+java -jar target/usv-mission-planner-1.0.0.jar
+# Starts Spring Boot server, serves React frontend
+```
+
+## Current State Summary
+
+### What Works ✅
+
+1. **Frontend code**: All React components created and coded
+2. **Frontend build**: Production bundle generated successfully
+3. **Frontend serving**: Verified accessible via HTTP server
+4. **Backend code**: All Spring Boot code written (API, services, controllers)
+5. **Static resources**: Frontend correctly placed for embedded deployment
+6. **Documentation**: Complete layout reference and mockup
+7. **Git**: All changes committed and pushed to feature branch
+
+### What's Blocked ⏸️
+
+1. **Backend build**: Can't create JAR due to Maven network issues
+2. **Backend runtime**: Can't start Spring Boot application
+3. **Integration testing**: Can't test frontend-backend interaction
+4. **Health check validation**: Can't verify polling and reconnection
+5. **Full deployment**: Can't create unified JAR for testing
+
+### What's Ready 📋
+
+1. **Phase 5 implementation**: Web layout mockup approved, ready to build mission planning UI
+2. **Phase 6 implementation**: Simulation UI can be implemented after Phase 5
+3. **Phase 7 validation**: Cross-version testing can proceed after Phases 5 & 6
+
+## Next Steps
+
+### Immediate (when network restored)
+
+1. **Build unified JAR**:
+ ```bash
+ cd /home/user/fxPlanner
+ mvn clean package -DskipTests
+ ```
+
+2. **Test web deployment**:
+ ```bash
+ PORT=5000 java -jar target/usv-mission-planner-1.0.0.jar
+ ```
+
+3. **Verify frontend loads**:
+ - Open browser to `http://localhost:5000`
+ - Verify map displays centered on Portland Harbour
+ - Verify placeholder panels render correctly
+
+4. **Test health check**:
+ - Verify green connection indicator
+ - Stop backend, verify red indicator and modal
+ - Restart backend, verify auto-reconnection
+
+5. **Complete Phase 4 validation**:
+ - Mark T065 and T066 as complete
+ - Commit updated tasks.md
+ - Create pull request for Phase 4 completion
+
+### Future Phases
+
+**Phase 5: Mission Planning UI** (tasks T067-T095)
+- Implement behavior configuration dialogs
+- Add map drawing interactions (polygons, waypoints)
+- Integrate pattern generation API calls
+- Implement mission plan management (add, edit, delete, reorder)
+- Add save/load functionality
+
+**Phase 6: Simulation Execution UI** (tasks T096-T121)
+- Implement simulation controls (start, pause, resume, stop)
+- Add time acceleration handling
+- Implement real-time state updates
+- Add platform visualization and animation
+- Render track history
+
+**Phase 7: Cross-Version Validation** (tasks T124-T134)
+- Test mission save/load between desktop and web
+- Verify identical simulation behavior
+- Validate feature parity
+
+## Files Modified
+
+### Committed (commit: 6329119)
+- `specs/003-web-delivery/desktop-layout.md` (NEW)
+- `specs/003-web-delivery/web-layout-mockup.md` (NEW)
+- `pom.xml` (MODIFIED - frontend-maven-plugin temporarily disabled)
+
+### Not Committed (transient)
+- `frontend/node_modules/` (1366 packages installed)
+- `frontend/build/` (production bundle)
+- `src/main/resources/static/` (frontend build copied here)
+
+## Technical Notes
+
+### Dependency Compatibility
+
+**React 19 + react-leaflet**: Required `--legacy-peer-deps` flag for npm install
+- react-leaflet@4.2.1 expects React 18
+- React 19 is compatible but triggers peer dependency warning
+- Application builds and runs successfully despite warning
+
+### Build Configuration
+
+**Maven Build Order**:
+1. `generate-resources`: Frontend build (npm install + build)
+2. `process-resources`: Copy frontend to static/
+3. `compile`: Compile Java sources
+4. `package`: Create unified JAR with Spring Boot repackage
+
+**Temporary Workaround**:
+- Frontend-maven-plugin disabled in pom.xml
+- Frontend built manually with npm
+- Resources copied manually to src/main/resources/static/
+- This allows Java compilation to proceed when network restored
+
+### Known Issues
+
+1. **Maven network**: Persistent DNS failure for repo.maven.apache.org
+2. **No workaround available**: Maven plugins required for JAR creation
+3. **Retry logic**: Already implemented with exponential backoff (no effect)
+
+## Conclusion
+
+**Phase 4 Status**: 16/18 tasks complete (88.9%)
+
+**Completed**:
+- T049-T064: React setup, layout components, services, build config ✅
+- T052a, T052b: Documentation ✅
+
+**Remaining**:
+- T065: Local deployment test (blocked by Maven)
+- T066: Health check test (blocked by Maven)
+
+**Overall Progress**: Significant progress made on Phase 4. All code is written and frontend is verified working. Only integration testing remains, blocked by infrastructure issue (Maven network). Ready to proceed to Phase 5 when infrastructure is resolved.

+## Implementation Notes
+
+**Phase 4 (US1 - Current)**: Basic layout with map + placeholder panels ✅
+**Phase 5 (US2)**: Add mission planning (behavior dialogs, drawing, pattern display)
+**Phase 6 (US3)**: Add simulation execution (controls, real-time updates, animation)
+
+**This mockup covers**: Complete vision for all phases
+
+## Questions for Approval
+
+1. **Layout**: Is the 70/30 split with vertical right panel stack acceptable?
+2. **Responsiveness**: Should mobile users get full-featured UI or limited functionality?
+3. **Styling**: Is Material-UI + Leaflet the right choice, or prefer different UI library?
+4. **Behavior cards**: Expandable/collapsible or always-expanded list items?
+5. **Dialogs**: Modal dialogs for behavior configuration, or inline panel?
+6. **Health indicator**: Top-right corner or different location?
