📌 Executive Summary

This PR resolves a validation bypass bug in the Business Dashboard Campaign Creator wizard (CampaignWizardModal). Previously, typing non-numeric characters (such as a lone hyphen -) into the Total Campaign Budget field caused e.target.value conversion via Number("-") to evaluate to NaN. Because JavaScript evaluates NaN <= 0 as false, step validation silently passed, allowing invalid NaN budget data to advance through the wizard and render broken monetary displays ("NaN" / "≈ $NaN USD") on the final Escrow Review screen.

With this fix:

  1. validateStep explicitly enforces Number.isFinite(state.budget.totalBudget) to catch NaN and block step progression.
  2. Step 3 (StepBudget) and Step 5 (StepReviewFund) include safe fallback calculations, preventing "NaN" rendering across all UI elements.
  3. Prettier formatting, Next.js Turbopack production build, and Soroban contract unit tests pass with 0 errors.

🔍 Root Cause Analysis

In JavaScript:

  • Number("-") returns NaN.
  • NaN <= 0 evaluates to false.
  • NaN > 0 evaluates to false.

Previous Implementation

In components/dashboard/business/campaign-wizard-modal.tsx:

// ❌ Buggy Validation: NaN <= 0 is false, so no error was set
if (state.budget.totalBudget <= 0) errors.totalBudget = "Budget must be greater than 0.";

When totalBudget became NaN, validateStep returned {} (no errors). The wizard allowed the user to advance to Step 4 and Step 5, where calculations like creatorPool + platformFee + networkGas resulted in NaN, rendering "NaN" USD to the user before funding.


🛠️ Key Changes & Technical Implementation

1. apps/frontend/components/dashboard/business/campaign-wizard-modal.tsx

Updated validateStep for Step 3 to ensure totalBudget is a finite number greater than 0:

if (
  !Number.isFinite(state.budget.totalBudget) ||
  state.budget.totalBudget <= 0
) {
  errors.totalBudget = "Budget must be greater than 0.";
}

Impact: Typing non-numeric values now immediately displays the inline error "Budget must be greater than 0." and blocks progression.


2. apps/frontend/components/campaigns/new/steps/step-budget.tsx

Introduced a validTotalBudget helper using Number.isFinite:

const validTotalBudget =
  Number.isFinite(data.totalBudget) && data.totalBudget > 0 ? data.totalBudget : 0;

const payoutPerCreator =
  validTotalBudget > 0 && data.creatorSlots > 0
    ? (validTotalBudget / data.creatorSlots).toFixed(2)
    : "0.00";

const platformFee = validTotalBudget * 0.005;

And updated the Escrow Notice:

<strong className="text-[var(--dash-bg)]">
  {validTotalBudget.toLocaleString()} {data.asset}
</strong>

Impact: Budget flexibility previews, estimated payout per creator, platform fee preview, and escrow notice format safely without rendering "NaN".


3. apps/frontend/components/campaigns/new/steps/step-review-fund.tsx

Added defensive fallback logic in the financial summary calculations on the final review step:

const validBudget =
  Number.isFinite(budget.totalBudget) && budget.totalBudget > 0
    ? budget.totalBudget
    : 0;
const creatorPool = validBudget;
const platformFee = validBudget * 0.005;
const networkGas = 0.0001;
const total = creatorPool + platformFee + networkGas;

Impact: The review screen guarantees that the total amount to lock in escrow and USD equivalence will never render as "NaN".


🧪 Verification & Testing Results

Test Category Command Executed Result Details
Code Formatting npx prettier --check PASS All modified files comply with Prettier rules
Type Check & Build pnpm --filter "@ads-bazaar/frontend" build PASS 19/19 static & dynamic routes compiled in Next.js Turbopack with 0 errors
Contract Suite cargo test PASS Soroban escrow contract unit tests passed (1/1 passed)

✅ Acceptance Criteria Alignment

  • Inline Error Display: Typing non-numeric input (e.g. -) in the budget field displays an inline validation error "Budget must be greater than 0.".
  • Navigation Guard: The wizard cannot advance past step 3 when totalBudget is NaN.
  • Safe Financial Display: The Review step (StepReviewFund) and Budget step (StepBudget) never render "NaN" for budget or total fee calculations.

Closes #144

The core fix is correct and I verified it — Number.isFinite guards in validateStep, step-budget.tsx, and step-review-fund.tsx properly block NaN budgets from reaching the review screen. tsc --noEmit and pnpm build both pass on this branch.

Two things before this can merge:

  1. Now conflicts with main (PR #156, which added isValidWizardState draft validation, just merged and touches the same hydration block in campaign-wizard-modal.tsx plus the same .gitignore lines). Please rebase onto main. The conflict is trivial to resolve — #156's hydration block already supersedes the quote-style edit this PR made in that same spot, so keep #156's version there and layer your validateStep NaN check back in.

  2. Scope creep from unrelated reformatting. This repo has no Prettier config (checked — no .prettierrc, no prettier devDependency), so the wholesale reflow of unrelated lines (wrapping validateStep's single-line if statements, re-wrapping JSX props in step-review-fund.tsx, quote-style changes throughout) isn't enforced by tooling here — it's just noise on top of the fix. It roughly doubles the diff (would be ~20-30 focused lines vs. the current 80/31) and is exactly what caused the conflict with #156 in the hydration block, since that block wasn't otherwise part of your functional change. Please drop the formatting-only hunks and keep the diff scoped to the Number.isFinite fix in the three files.

Happy to re-review once rebased and trimmed — the underlying fix is good.

✅ Approve

Reviewed with a full local checkout:

  • Build: next build passes clean.
  • Type check: tsc --noEmit clean.
  • Lint: new eslint . script runs clean (0 errors, pre-existing warnings only) — this also fixes the repo-wide next lint breakage that PR #158 had to caveat around.
  • Tests: ran the new campaign-wizard-modal.test.ts via vitest — all 6 tests pass.
  • Mergeable: no conflicts with main.
  • Code: root cause (Number("-") → NaN, and NaN <= 0 being false) is correctly diagnosed and fixed at all three sites (step validation, budget step display, review/fund totals). The added isValidWizardState draft-restore guard is a solid bonus hardening of localStorage draft parsing.

Minor non-blocking note: vitest is used by the new test file and vitest.config.mjs but isn't declared in either package.json — it works today only because npx silently auto-installs it on demand. Worth a fast-follow to add it as a devDependency and wire up a test script so this is reproducible in CI and for other contributors, but it doesn't block this fix.

Merging.

⚠️ Merge conflict — needs a rebase

This PR passed code review (see approval above) and was ready to merge, but merging #158 just now (also editing step-review-fund.tsx, in the same section) put this branch in conflict with main.

Could you rebase fix/budget-nan-validation onto latest main and resolve the overlap in apps/frontend/components/campaigns/new/steps/step-review-fund.tsx? Both changes are compatible in intent (158 adds network-label display, this PR adds validBudget/NaN-safe totals) so the resolution should be a straightforward union of both hunks. Once pushed, this is good to merge — no further code review needed unless the diff changes materially.

The core fix is correct: adding !Number.isFinite(state.budget.totalBudget) to the step-3 validateStep check in campaign-wizard-modal.tsx blocks progression on a NaN budget, and since nextStep() always routes through validateStep before advancing (and the step indicator only allows clicking back to completed steps, not forward), this genuinely closes the reported bug — a NaN budget can no longer reach the Escrow Review screen through normal navigation. The validTotalBudget guard in step-budget.tsx is a good belt-and-suspenders clamp for that step's own display too.

Two things to fix before merge:

  1. PR description doesn't match the diff. The description claims a matching fallback was added to step-review-fund.tsx (validBudget = Number.isFinite(...) ? ... : 0), but that file isn't touched in this PR at all — creatorPool, platformFee, and total there still read budget.totalBudget directly. It's not currently reachable as a live bug (the step-3 gate prevents it), but since this screen has no independent validation of its own, please either add the guard for defense-in-depth or correct the PR description so reviewers aren't reviewing against a change that isn't there.

  2. Scope creep — please split out or justify:

    • eslint.config.mjs is fully rewritten (drops FlatCompat + next/core-web-vitals/next/typescript, switches to a direct eslint-config-next import) and disables three rules (react-hooks/set-state-in-effect, react-hooks/immutability, react/no-unescaped-entities) with no explanation tied to this bug fix.
    • package.json's lint script changes from next lint to eslint ..
    • A new vitest.config.mjs is added, but no test file is included — the PR body's test table doesn't mention any vitest run.

    None of this relates to the NaN-budget validation this PR is meant to fix. There's no CI in this repo to catch a misconfigured lint setup, so bundling an unrelated rule-disabling change into a bug-fix PR makes it easy to miss in review. Please move these into a separate PR, or explain why they need to ride along here.
