estimateNutrition() (lib/ai/features/estimate-nutrition.ts) is now a
hybrid: for each ingredient, estimateGrams() (lib/ingredient-grams.ts)
converts its quantity+unit to grams where possible (weight units
exactly; volume units -- cup/tbsp/tsp/ml/l/etc -- via a 1ml~=1g water-
density approximation, documented as a real simplification but far
better than skipping them). Convertible ingredients get looked up in
USDA FoodData Central (lib/usda.ts, SR Legacy + Survey (FNDDS)
datasets -- the two suited to generic/raw ingredients, not Branded
packaged products or narrower Foundation) and summed. Whatever's left
(count-based units like "2 cloves", no USDA match, or USDA_API_KEY
unset entirely) goes through one AI call asking for just that
subset's total contribution, which sums directly with the USDA
totals -- no whole-recipe AI estimate to reconcile against.
Same exported signature and return shape as before
(NutritionEstimate / {perServing: {...}}), so every existing caller
(the nutrition route, meal-plan generation) gets more accurate
results automatically once USDA_API_KEY is set in Admin -> Settings,
with zero behavior change when it isn't.

Epicure Feature Audit
Code-verified inventory of what exists in the app today, by domain. Written 2026-07-21 after a full read of the routes/schema/components listed under "key files" for each entry — not guessed from names. Keep this file updated whenever a feature is added or changes what it does (see standing rule below).
Status legend: Exists (fully working) · Partial (works but with a real limitation, noted) · Missing (confirmed absent by grep/read, not just "didn't find it").
1. Recipes & AI
AI stack: Vercel AI SDK, provider-agnostic (apps/web/lib/ai/factory.ts) — OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Ollama (local). Key resolution order: user's own BYOK key → admin default per use-case → admin's raw provider key → env var. Structured outputs always generateObject + Zod; chat features use generateText with optional tool-calling.

|---|---|---|---|
| Recipe CRUD | Exists | Create/get/list/update/delete; update snapshots the prior version first (recipeSnapshots) |

| Recipe video | Missing | No video field/upload path anywhere in schema or components | — |
| Collections | Exists | Shared/collaborative (collection_members, viewer/editor roles), fork-a-collection, explore page, reorder |
apps/web/app/api/v1/collections/** |
| Tags, difficulty, dietary labels | Exists | Dietary schema has 7 tags; search only exposes 4 of them as filters (vegan/vegetarian/glutenFree/dairyFree) |
packages/db/src/schema/recipes.ts |
| Visibility (private/unlisted/public/followers) | Exists, one flagged gap | Enforced almost everywhere as public-vs-not-private; the /r/[id] anonymous share route's own code comment flags that followers-only recipes may be reachable without a follow-relationship check |

| AI weekly meal-plan generator | Exists | Pantry-aware, dietary-aware, nudged by nutrition goals; one real recipe per entry | apps/web/app/api/v1/ai/meal-plan/generate |
| Meal plan sharing | Exists | meal_plan_members viewer/editor roles for collaborators, plus an anonymous read-only public link (isPublic flag, mirrors shopping lists' but view-only — no public-editable mode) at /m/[id], with a QR code generated client-side for the link |
apps/web/lib/meal-plan-access.ts, apps/web/app/m/[id]/page.tsx, apps/web/components/meal-plan/share-meal-plan-button.tsx |

|
| Multiple shopping lists | Exists | apps/web/app/api/v1/shopping-lists/** |
|
| Generate list from meal-plan week | Exists | Merges duplicate ingredients, flags items already covered by pantry (never silently drops) | apps/web/lib/pantry-shopping-match.ts |
| Shared/collaborative lists | Exists | Member roles and an anonymous public link mode (isPublic/publicEditable) |
packages/db/src/schema/meal-planning.ts |

| Aisle categorization | Exists | Heuristic auto-assign + bulk re-categorize | apps/web/lib/grocery-categories.ts |
| Grocery delivery integration | Partial / stub | Generic export payload works; Instacart adapter is an explicit stub (requires a partnership agreement Epicure doesn't have — returns 501 if unconfigured, throws if "configured") | apps/web/lib/grocery-providers/instacart.ts |
| Other delivery/price integrations (DoorDash, Kroger, Walmart, live pricing) | Missing | Confirmed absent by repo-wide search | — |
| Pantry manual CRUD | Exists | apps/web/app/api/v1/pantry/** |
|
| Auto-deduct pantry on cook | Exists, one nuance | Name+unit matching; for batch-cook recipes, deduction fires once (not re-scaled) on the first dish marked cooked | apps/web/app/api/v1/recipes/[id]/cooked/route.ts |

apps/web/app/api/v1/users/me/nutrition-diary, apps/web/components/nutrition/nutrition-trend.tsx |
| USDA nutrition-facts database | Exists | estimateNutrition now looks up each ingredient in USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy + Survey (FNDDS) datasets) after converting its quantity/unit to grams, sums the matches, and only falls back to AI estimation for ingredients that couldn't be converted (count-based units like "2 cloves") or had no USDA match — including every ingredient, transparently, when USDA_API_KEY isn't configured. Barcode scan (pantry) still only IDs product names via Open Food Facts, unrelated to this. |
apps/web/lib/usda.ts, apps/web/lib/ingredient-grams.ts, apps/web/lib/ai/features/estimate-nutrition.ts |
| Batch cooking | Exists | Shared prep steps grouped by which dish they serve, per-dish fridge/freezer countdown independent of the whole-batch pantry deduction | apps/web/components/recipe/batch-cook-*.tsx |

| Direct messaging | Exists, 1:1 by design | No group messaging (deliberate — unique-pair constraint at schema level) | packages/db/src/schema/messaging.ts |
| Read receipts | Partial | Thread-level lastReadAt only — no per-message delivery/seen state |
packages/db/src/schema/messaging.ts |
| Following feed | Exists | apps/web/app/api/v1/feed |

| Push notifications | Exists | Web Push + VAPID, end-to-end, real trigger call sites (not just plumbing) | apps/web/lib/push.ts |
| Push display + click-through | Exists | sw.js previously had no push listener at all — push messages never displayed. Now has both push (calls showNotification) and notificationclick (focuses an existing tab on the payload's url, or opens one) |
apps/web/public/sw.js |
| Email notifications + weekly digest cron | Exists | apps/web/lib/notifications.ts, apps/web/app/api/internal/cron/weekly-digest |
|

| Moderator role | Exists | Moderators get /admin/reports (view/resolve) and /admin/recipes (view + unpublish takedown); every other /admin/* page redirects them out via requireFullAdminPage(). Comment deletion already allowed moderator before this. |
apps/web/lib/require-admin-page.ts, apps/web/app/admin/layout.tsx, apps/web/app/api/v1/admin/recipes/[id]/route.ts |
4. Admin, billing, ops, integrations
| Feature | Status | Description | Key files |
|---|---|---|---|

| Stripe webhook (checkout/cancel) | Exists | Signature-verified, replay-protected, event-deduped — production quality | apps/web/app/api/webhooks/stripe/route.ts |
| Stripe checkout session creation | Missing | No code anywhere creates a Checkout Session or exposes an "Upgrade" flow — the webhook consumer exists but nothing produces the event it consumes | — |
| Self-serve billing portal | Missing | No Stripe customer portal; tier changes today only happen via direct admin edit at /admin/users/[id] |
— |
| Admin dashboard | Exists | 13 sections: overview, insights/analytics, users, invites, recipe moderation, reports, support, tiers, webhooks, audit logs, storage, AI config, site settings, changelog | apps/web/app/admin/** |
| Feature flags (per-tier) vs feature prefs (per-user cosmetic) | Exists, two distinct systems | Flags gate 3 AI capabilities by tier; prefs let users hide 7 nav sections, no billing implication | apps/web/lib/{feature-flags,feature-prefs}.ts |
| User webhooks (personal automation) | Exists | 7 events, Zapier-style | apps/web/lib/webhooks.ts |
| Admin ops webhooks (site-wide) | Exists | 3 events (signup, ticket, report) | apps/web/lib/admin-webhooks.ts |

| Self-serve API keys | Exists | Up to 10 per user, scoped full/read, SHA-256 hashed at rest | apps/web/app/api/v1/api-keys |
| Public OpenAPI spec + docs page | Exists | Scalar-rendered at /docs, spec at /api/v1/openapi.json |
apps/web/lib/openapi.ts |
| i18n | Partial | Only en and fr — no other locales |
apps/web/messages/*.json |
| 2FA | Exists | TOTP + backup codes + OTP, passwordless-account-compatible | Better Auth twoFactor plugin |
| Social login | Exists | Google always, GitHub/Discord/generic OIDC if configured | apps/web/lib/auth/server.ts |
| Rate limiting | Exists | Two layers: Better Auth's Redis-backed built-in limiter (tighter on 2FA verify endpoints) + a general sliding-window limiter for AI/API routes | apps/web/lib/rate-limit.ts |
| Invite-gated signup | Exists | Signups can be globally disabled, invite-only fallback; first-ever user auto-promoted to admin | — |
5. PWA, offline, mobile
| Feature | Status | Description | Key files |
|---|---|---|---|
| Installability | Exists | Manifest + SVG icons (no raster/PNG fallback), Chromium beforeinstallprompt button, iOS Safari gets a static "tap Share" instructional banner (no programmatic install API exists on Safari — Apple restriction, not fixable) |
apps/web/app/manifest.ts, apps/web/components/pwa/install-prompt.tsx |
| Service worker | Exists | Cache-first for /cook pages, network-first-with-cache-populate elsewhere, /api/* bypassed |
apps/web/public/sw.js |
| Background Sync | Exists | Chromium via native Background Sync API; Safari/Firefox (no support at all) via an online-event fallback reading the same IndexedDB queue |
apps/web/lib/offline-queue.ts, apps/web/public/sw.js |
| Offline save-for-later | Exists | Per-recipe explicit pin + IndexedDB-tracked list shown on the /offline fallback page |
apps/web/lib/offline-db.ts, apps/web/components/recipe/save-offline-button.tsx |
| Offline scope | Partial | Recipe viewing + one write path (mark-cooked). Shopping lists and meal plan have no offline/queue coverage | — |
| Push (client + server) | Exists end-to-end | Real subscribe/unsubscribe with correct state sync, VAPID, multiple triggers wired | apps/web/lib/push.ts |
| Voice control | Exists | Web Speech API in cooking mode (this was previously assumed missing — it isn't) | apps/web/components/cooking-mode/cooking-mode.tsx |
| Barcode scanning | Exists (pantry only) | BarcodeDetector isn't used, but a manual-entry-triggered Open Food Facts API lookup covers the same use case |
apps/web/app/api/v1/pantry/scan/barcode |
| OS Share Target (share a URL into Epicure from another app) | Exists (Chromium/Android only) | Manifest share_target → /recipes?title&text&url; extracts the shared link from either url or a URL substring in text (senders vary), auto-opens the existing import-from-URL dialog pre-filled and auto-imports. Safari has no Share Target API at all — same Apple-restriction story as install prompts. |
apps/web/app/manifest.ts, apps/web/app/(app)/recipes/page.tsx, apps/web/components/recipe/url-import-dialog.tsx |
| Home-screen widgets, Siri/Assistant shortcuts | Missing, expected — N/A for a pure PWA without a native shell | — | |
| Native mobile app (React Native/Capacitor/Expo) | Missing | Confirmed PWA-only, no native project anywhere in the monorepo | — |
Real gaps (confirmed absent, worth considering)
Ranked roughly by likely value:
- Stripe checkout + billing portal — the webhook consumer is production-ready but nothing produces the checkout event or lets a user self-serve upgrade/cancel/view invoices. Biggest gap if monetizing seriously.
- Recipe video — no support at all.
Nutrition trend/history view— closed 2026-07-22 (7/30/90-day calorie chart + macro averages).USDA/nutrition-database lookup— closed 2026-07-22 (per-ingredient, gram-convertible ingredients only; AI fills the rest).OS Share Target— closed 2026-07-21 (Chromium/Android only, no Safari equivalent exists).Push click-through handling— closed 2026-07-21 (push/notificationclicklisteners added tosw.js).Anonymous public link for meal plans— closed 2026-07-21 (read-only, with a QR code).- Grocery delivery/live pricing beyond the Instacart stub (which needs a partnership agreement to go live).
- Offline coverage for shopping lists / meal plan — currently recipe-viewing + mark-cooked only.
Moderator-scoped admin routes— closed 2026-07-21 (reports + recipe-unpublish).
Deliberate design choices (not gaps)
- Direct messaging is 1:1 only — enforced at the schema level, not a missing feature.
- Feature toggles (
userFeaturePrefs) are cosmetic nav-hiding only, never access control — separate from tier-based feature flags. - No native app — PWA-only is the stated architecture, covered well by the offline/install/push work already shipped.
Standing rule
Every time a feature ships, update this file in the same change — add/update its row, move it out of "Real gaps" if it closes one. Bug fixes to existing features don't need an entry unless they change what the feature does.
