3DARCH-FT-25 | 3DARCH-EP-6 — Coordinate Shared Workplace Seating | IN_BACKLOG | EXACT | 3D Architecture Wizzard team | No |
Description
Enable participants to start each workplace day with stale reservations cleared rather than blocked by people who did not manually release yesterday's seats.
User or operator problem
The workplace needs stale seat claims cleared at a predictable day boundary without manual cleanup.
Expected value
Restores fair seat availability each workplace day and makes reset failures diagnosable.
Scope
Includes an explicit timezone/boundary, authoritative claim clearing, single multi-replica execution, client replacement, failure visibility, and safe retry.
Exclusions
- Advance booking, recurring reservations, administrator override, and historical occupancy reporting are excluded.
Acceptance outcomes
- The governing workplace timezone and daily reset boundary are explicit.
- Every active claim becomes available with occupant and claim time cleared.
- Available seats remain unchanged.
- Only one reset is applied when the service has multiple replicas.
- Connected clients replace their occupancy state from the authoritative reset without reloading.
- A missed or failed reset is visible and can be retried safely.
Dependencies
- 3DARCH-FT-23 — Discover seat availability and occupant identity
- 3DARCH-FT-24 — Manage one daily seat reservation
Risks
- The reset timezone, multi-replica coordination, failure visibility, and client refresh behavior are incomplete.
