Navigation Visibility & Tab Access Control
Added: 2026-02-20
Design Philosophy
The Bytelyst dashboard follows a "Contextual Depth" navigation model:
- Consumer-facing tabs are simple, action-oriented, and confidence-building.
- Technical/operational tabs are restricted to admins — they contain raw signal data, rule pass/fail states, and engine internals that are misleading without deep engine knowledge.
Core Principle
A rule failing (❌) is normal and correct — it's the filtering system working. But visually, ❌ icons look like errors. Customers without context interpret "fail" as "broken." This generates anxiety and unnecessary support tickets.
Tab Visibility Matrix
| Tab | All Users | Admin Only | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overview | ✅ | High-level portfolio summary | |
| My Strategies | ✅ | Core user experience | |
| ✨ Marketplace | ✅ | Strategy discovery & adoption | |
| 💎 Plans | ✅ | Subscription conversion | |
| 🛠️ Build Strategy | ✅ | Guided self-service wizard | |
| Trade History | ✅ | User accountability & records | |
| Positions & Orders | ✅ | Current state awareness | |
| Settings | ✅ | Basic bot configuration | |
| Signals | ✅ | Raw technical rule/indicator data — misleading without engine knowledge | |
| Entries | ✅ | Internal watchlist/position engine state | |
| 🛡️ Strategy Clusters | ✅ | Advanced multi-profile management | |
| ⚙️ Admin Panel | ✅ | System operations & health |
Why Signals and Entries Are Admin-Only
Signals Tab
Shows raw per-symbol rule evaluation output:
TrendBiasRule: EMA50 vs EMA200 comparisonSessionRule: Active trading session detectionMomentumRule: RSI stateAIAnalysisRule: Confidence scores- Rule pass/fail counts per profile
Consumer risk: A customer sees "❌ TrendBiasRule Failed" and assumes the bot is broken, when in reality the bot is correctly waiting for a confirmed trend before entering. This contradiction between correct-behavior and perceived-failure creates support tickets and churn.
Entries Tab
Shows raw internal watchlist and position engine state — data structures that have no direct user-actionable interpretation without understanding the execution pipeline.
Consumer UX Strategy
Instead of exposing raw signals, consumers receive intelligence through curated, translated layers:
| Raw Technical Data | Consumer-Friendly Equivalent |
|---|---|
TrendBiasRule: ❌ No 4H trend |
"Bot is waiting for a confirmed market direction" |
SessionRule: ❌ TOK/SYD session |
"Bot is active only during London & New York hours" |
RSI: 57.73 |
Not shown — irrelevant to consumer |
minRulePassRatio: 0.9 |
"⚖️ Balanced Mode — requires 90% signal agreement" |
This translation is handled by src/lib/StrategyExplanationService.ts and surfaced in the Diagnostic Intelligence section of each strategy card.
Implementation
File: src/App.tsx — tab visibility is controlled by profile?.role === 'admin' guard on each sensitive tab button in the <nav> element.
