The app read as a control panel. Every activity a stage allowed was
rendered as an equal button, so operating it required already knowing
the workflow — which is the opposite of what a workflow tool is for.
Two concrete failures, both visible in the data:
Ops on Document collection got SIX equal buttons. Exactly one was the
next step: upload the three documents. Capture Motor Risk, Capture SME
Risk, AI Cover Recommendation and Generate Quote are the AI's own chain,
present only so a stalled lead can be pushed by hand.
And FOUR stages offered a partner agent nothing but "Mark Lost" — New
Lead, Contacted, Underwriting referral, Premium confirmation. At each of
those the system was actively working the lead, and the only thing the
app suggested was giving up on it.
So an activity now carries what it IS at a stage, not only who may press
it:
do the step this stage is waiting on. Usually one. Referred has
two, because clear and decline are a decision pair rather than
a step and the option of not taking it.
again a bounded loop — retry, reminder, re-quote. Legitimate, never
the answer to "what now".
force an AI employee's own job, offered to a person only so a stalled
lead can be moved. Folded behind "Lead not moving?".
exit Mark Lost. Always reachable, never presented as a step.
The panel is "Next step". With a step, one button at full weight. Without
one it says what is actually happening and who has it, which is the true
answer at six of the nine working stages and was previously rendered as
an empty bar or a lone Mark Lost.
Result per role, checked rather than assumed: an underwriter sees two
buttons, on one stage, and nothing anywhere else. A partner agent sees a
step at three stages. Ops sees a step at four and can still force any
AI activity from the folded section.
Nothing about permissions changed, and the action list still matches
tbl_wf_state_allowed_activities exactly — this is only about which of
them is presented as the thing to do.

Zurich Kotak — Lead Desk
Operator console for the Zurich Kotak "Lead to Policy" demo. Leads arrive through three channels — direct, bancassurance and agency — and run one state machine to policy issuance. The agents do the work; a person appears at one queue.
Workflow config is seeded from sm2/custom-apps/zurich-kotak/ (org 84,
app 536, workflow zk_wf_lead). Design doc:
sm2/app-designs/zurich-kotak/design.html. Workflow spec PDF:
sm2/custom-apps/zurich-kotak/zurich-kotak-workflow.pdf.
Run it
npm install
npm run dev # http://localhost:5175
npm run build # → dist/
.env carries the API host for local dev only:
VITE_ZINO_API_URL=https://dev.getzino.in

How it talks to the platform
Everything goes through src/api/client.js:
POST /usr/login— auth.org_idmust be a string; a number returnscannot unmarshal number into Go struct field LoginRequest.org_id.POST /app/536/view/recordview— every queue is one record view (zk-rv-leads) filtered server-side oncurrent_state_name.POST /app/536/view/form-screensthenPOST /app/536/activity— forms are read from the live activity schema and submitted straight back.
Forms are not defined in this repo
Whatever /view/form-screens returns is what renders — labels, types, select
options, which fields are mandatory. Add a field to an activity in Studio,
redeploy, and it appears here with no frontend change. That is deliberate: the
workflow is the source of truth, and a hardcoded form would quietly diverge
from it.
Permissions are never enforced here
The console does not hide a button to stop someone using it. Every permission
decision is the workflow's, made server-side on each submission — the platform
refuses and this app reports what it said. Two refusals worth knowing:
/activity answers 403, /start answers 400, and both carry
permission denied.
The runtime-config contract
VITE_ZINO_API_URL is read at runtime from a config.js the server writes
when it places the build — never compiled in. One artifact is promoted between
environments unchanged, so a build-time URL would point every environment at
whichever backend happened to build it. requireConfigValue throws if it is
missing, so a production build with no config.js fails loudly rather than
calling the wrong backend.
vite.config.js uses base: './' and the router takes its basename from the
<base href> the server writes, so one build serves any mount path. Do not
reintroduce a build-time base.
This is also why the fonts and logo live under src/assets/ and not
public/. Vite rewrites bundled asset URLs to be relative; a public/ file
referenced as /fonts/… stays absolute and 404s under the /zurich-kotak/
mount path. The favicon is the one exception — it stays in public/brand/ and
is referenced relatively from index.html.
Deployment
Registered with frontgen by sm2/custom-apps/zurich-kotak/05_frontgen_project.sql
(slug zurich-kotak, repo_name zurich_kotak, org 84). A push to main builds
and serves at https://preview-dev.getzino.in/zurich-kotak/.
The webhook only fires on a new push — a push made before the frontgen project row existed matched no project and did nothing.
