Activity

Problem

Currently, when a user has multiple roles (e.g., both cleaner and client, or admin), the dashboard routing and navigation use simple is_cleaner checks which doesn't account for users wanting to switch between roles.

Current Behavior

• /dashboard redirects based on first matching role (cleaner takes priority)
• Sidebar and header nav links use is_cleaner boolean to determine dashboard URL
• No way for multi-role users to switch between their different role views

Proposed Solution

1. Active Role Session State: Store the user's currently active role in the session
2. Role Switcher UI: Add a dropdown/toggle in the navigation for users with multiple roles to switch between them
3. Role-Aware Routing: Update the dashboard redirect and navigation to respect the active role from session

Implementation Notes

• The User model already has a getActiveProfile() method that reads from session('active_role')
• Need to create an endpoint to switch active role: POST /switch-role
• Update HandleInertiaRequests to share active_role with frontend
• Add role switcher component to sidebar/header when user has 2+ roles
• Navigation items should reflect the active role, not just check is_cleaner

Files to Update

• routes/web.php - Add role switching endpoint
• app/Http/Middleware/HandleInertiaRequests.php - Share active role
• resources/js/components/app-sidebar.tsx - Role switcher UI
• resources/js/components/app-header.tsx - Role switcher UI
• resources/js/components/nav-user.tsx - Potential location for role switcher

Priority

Medium - Current implementation works for single-role users (the majority case)
