⚠️ Quality: NEEDS IMPROVEMENT

🎯 User Story Analysis

The user story is present and follows the correct format:

"As a logged-in user, I want to edit my profile so that I can keep my personal information up to date."

• Role: ✅ Clearly defined — "logged-in user"
• Feature: ✅ Defined — "edit my profile"
• Benefit: ✅ Defined — "keep my personal information up to date"

The structure is solid. However, "edit my profile" is broad — the acceptance criteria only mention name and email, which creates ambiguity about the full intended scope.

⚠️ Missing Information

1. Vague acceptance criteria:

   • "Changes are saved" — No mention of persistence mechanism (REST API? Local state? What endpoint?).
   • "Input validation" — No specific validation rules defined (e.g., email format, max length for name, required fields).

2. No error handling specs — What should happen when saving fails (network error, server error)? What feedback does the user receive?

3. No success feedback — Is there a success notification/toast after saving?

4. Scope of editable fields — Are name and email the only editable fields, or should the user also be able to change avatar, bio, password, etc.?

5. Component status unclear — Is the ProfileEditor component an existing component to be extended, or a new one to be created?

6. Authentication context — How is the logged-in user's identity passed to the component (auth service, route guard, token)?

7. No UI/UX specification — No wireframe, mockup, or description of the form layout.

💡 Implementation Hints

• The ProfileEditor component should use Angular reactive forms with FormGroup and Validators for robust input validation.
• Email uniqueness validation may require an async validator calling the backend.
• Consider using Angular's HttpClient with a ProfileService to abstract the API call.
• Optimistic vs. pessimistic UI update strategy should be decided before implementation.
• If authentication uses a JWT, the profile update endpoint likely requires an Authorization header.
• Changes to the email address may require re-verification — this dependency must be clarified.

🚀 Next Steps

Label applied: needs-clarification

Please answer the following questions before implementation begins:

1. What are the specific validation rules for each field (name length, email format, required fields)?
2. What API endpoint is used to save profile changes, and what is the expected request/response shape?
3. What user feedback is shown on success and on error?
4. Is the ProfileEditor component new or existing?
5. Should email changes trigger a re-verification flow?
6. Are there additional editable fields beyond name and email?
