Planning UI: Notification symbols or colors

[fosterlynn]

Needs spec

When there is an issue in the plan, at least supply not meeting demand, although there may be others, we could flag the issue visually and/or provide a note.

Possibly an overage, to note inventory will be created.

Needs more definition, but would be great to get into Phase 2, good demo item.

I'm putting this into phase 2, since I think @leo started working on it. If it is much work, we can drop it off, or move it to lower priority for the phase. The only thing for phase 2 would be if there isn't enough quantity of a resource specification in a commitment (or an offer if at the beginning) to feed the next commitment.

If a problem, make the commitment that can't be fulfilled red, as discussed.

@LeosPrograms added one notification, see #96 (comment). This is good for now, for demo purposes. Not closing, because there will be others they want, but taking out of phase 2 milestone.

[fosterlynn]

I think we only need one notification, and it should work pretty much like the one on offers works: they don't have enough to do what they want to do, except within the production plan part, not offers. We could start with just output to input, although if input to output is easy to add, let's do both.

[LeosPrograms]

How does this work if existing inventory has been accounted for when creating the plan? It will show an overage when there isn't actually one. It could account for inventory, but that gets complex since we don't technically know which inventory was allotted where.

Getting an odd result:

On the Combine Fiber stage, some of the outputs have a deficit notification, but there is no apparent reason they should. The recipes look OK to me, qty 1 on both input and output.

More odd results:

Ship Brown Alpaca Dirty should be showing notification 79 not enough to dropoff 80. Are we for pickup/dropoff looking for the same quantity for the same resource?

On scouring, I changed Brown Alpaca Clean to 100, it doesn't know that is too much from Brown Alpaca Dirty 78. Are we using the recipe?

(Apologies if I'm not remembering all the conversations.)

[fosterlynn]

I think we discussed that you haven't done input to output (forward) notifications, right? Because it would involve recipes? Otherwise this is looking really great!!

Leaving it open for now until we decide. I think it isn't super pressing, but I'd like to see what Laura and Evan think. I'll take the "next" off for now.

[fosterlynn]

Also, reminder to try bolding the notifications and we'll see if that green shows up better. Just that small thing I would put a "next" on.

Alternatively, I suppose we could do something like a red or green background to that text, like a hilighter. Whatever you think looks best.
