Exercise Editing Overhaul: Alternatives, Ladders, and Stronger Validation

Shipped

• Exercise edit modal overhaul

  • Modularized modal sections (General / Progression / Load Logic) for clearer organization
  • Added a dedicated Load Logic tab to isolate load-related settings
  • Improved Create Exercise dialog validation (including laterality handling)
  • Enhanced DraftNumberInput precision for more accurate weight entry
  • Standardized weight unit selection by replacing DropdownMenu with MenuSelect

• Variations + ladders become first-class

  • Added ExerciseAlternativesSection for managing swappable variations cleanly
  • Added ExerciseLadderSection for bodyweight ladder progressions with improved layout and interaction
  • Improved drag-and-drop reordering of ladder rungs (smoother UX + better accessibility)
  • Wrapped these under ExerciseVariationsSection while preserving the existing API

• Schema tightening + data integrity

  • Removed “amrap” as a selectable set type to prevent misuse and keep schemas clean
  • Updated performance schema options accordingly (no “amrap” path)
  • Added new utilities for validating + normalizing exercise schemas during routine management
  • Streamlined weight resolution by removing unused base-weight dialog state in Play/Timer
  • Added validation for duration/load in Quick Workout to prevent invalid inputs
  • Introduced RoutineLoadsDialog to review/adjust base loads from routine management

Why

• Exercise editing is high-frequency and complex—modular sections reduce cognitive load and reduce bugs
• Alternatives and ladders need proper UI primitives; “one more field” doesn’t scale
• Strong normalization/validation prevents silent corruption as the engine grows more expressive

Notes

• This is a clarity + correctness pass: fewer ambiguous options, more explicit rules.

Next

• Improve swaps UX further (smart defaults + same-modality constraints)
• Continue tightening player UX around load resolution transparency (when anchors/references apply)
