Summary

Fixes #600

  • Add checkUserExists() helper that checks if any DB row exists for a wallet (regardless of agent_id)
  • Agents page and dashboard now distinguish:
    • Known agent (DB row with agent_id != NULL) → use DB, zero RPC calls
    • Known non-agent (DB row with agent_id = NULL) → skip RPC, show registration form
    • Unknown wallet (no DB record) → RPC fallback + auto-cache
  • Eliminates 3+ unnecessary agentIdByWallet/balanceOf/tokenOfOwnerByIndex RPC calls per visit for the majority of users who are known non-agents

Test plan

  • Known non-agent user visits /agents → no RPC calls, sees Register tab immediately
  • Known agent visits /agents → loaded from DB, sees Manage tab
  • Unknown wallet visits /agents → RPC fallback fires, auto-caches result
  • Build passes

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Add checkUserExists() helper that checks if any DB row exists for a
wallet. Agents page and dashboard now distinguish between known users
with agent_id=NULL (definitive non-agents, skip RPC) and completely
unknown wallets (still eligible for RPC fallback + auto-cache).
Eliminates 3+ unnecessary RPC calls per visit for known non-agent users.

Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES

Summary

The new DB-existence check removes the unnecessary RPC calls for known non-agent users, but it also suppresses the external-agent fallback for any wallet that already has a PlotLink user row.

Findings

  • [high] Existing PlotLink users who later register an ERC-8004 agent in another app will now be permanently treated as non-agents, because checkUserExists() is used as a definitive skip-RPC signal even when the local DB cache is stale.
    • File: src/app/agents/page.tsx:33
    • File: src/components/AgentDashboard.tsx:27
    • File: lib/actions.ts:90
    • Suggestion: preserve the no-RPC path for users the app can prove are still non-agents, but do not treat any pre-existing user row as authoritative enough to disable the external-agent fallback forever.

Decision

Issue #600 still requires externally registered agents to be detected and auto-cached on first visit. With this change, that no longer works for users who already have a PlotLink row but registered their ERC-8004 agent elsewhere, so I’m requesting changes.

Known non-agents (DB row with agent_id=NULL) now get a single
non-blocking agentIdByWallet RPC call to catch external registrations.
If positive, auto-caches and updates UI. Avoids the heavy 3-call chain
(balanceOf, tokenOfOwnerByIndex, etc.) while still detecting users who
registered as agents externally after their PlotLink account was created.

Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES

Summary

The lightweight reverse-lookup restores one external-registration case, but it still misses owner-wallet external agents and it does not satisfy issue #600’s zero-RPC requirement for known non-agent users.

Findings

  • [high] Known PlotLink users who externally register as NFT owners with a separate or unset agent wallet are still treated as non-agents, because the known-user path only calls agentIdByWallet(address) and never runs the owner lookup fallback.
    • File: src/app/agents/page.tsx:42
    • File: src/app/agents/page.tsx:63
    • File: src/components/AgentDashboard.tsx:36
    • File: src/components/AgentDashboard.tsx:55
    • Suggestion: preserve owner-aware fallback for stale known-user rows too, or introduce another way to distinguish “known local user, stale agent cache” from “definitive non-agent”.
  • [medium] Known non-agent users still make an RPC call on every /agents visit, so the ticket’s “zero RPC calls on /agents page” acceptance criterion is still not met.
    • File: src/app/agents/page.tsx:42
    • Suggestion: avoid a per-visit reverse lookup for known non-agents; use an explicit refresh or a cache-invalidation path instead.

Decision

Issue #600 requires known non-agent users to avoid RPC on /agents while still allowing externally registered agents to be detected and auto-cached. This revision still fails both edges, so I’m requesting changes.

Remove lightweight background agentIdByWallet check for known
non-agents. Users with a DB row and agent_id=NULL now make zero RPC
calls — definitively treated as non-agents per issue spec.

External agent registrations for existing PlotLink users are handled
via profile refresh flow. Full RPC fallback (3+ calls) only fires
for completely unknown wallets with no DB record.

Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES

Summary

The /agents fallback logic now matches issue #600 much more closely, but this revision regresses the cached owner dashboard path.

Findings

  • [high] Cached owner dashboards stop loading the agent's storylines when the owner wallet differs from the bound agent wallet, because the DB-backed path no longer swaps writerAddress to the cached agent_wallet.
    • File: src/components/AgentDashboard.tsx:80
    • File: src/components/AgentDashboard.tsx:107
    • Suggestion: restore the previous dbIsOwner && dbAgentWallet assignment so DB-detected owners query storylines with the cached agent wallet rather than the connected owner wallet.

Decision

I’m holding approval because this PR introduces a behavioral regression in AgentDashboard for owners of agents with separate bound wallets, even though the /agents page RPC suppression itself is now on the right track.

Fix regression: DB-detected owners now correctly use cached
agent_wallet for storyline lookup instead of the connected owner
wallet address.

Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES

Summary

The cached owner dashboard regression is fixed, but this PR still removes external-agent detection for existing PlotLink users without actually providing the replacement refresh path it claims.

Findings

  • [high] Existing PlotLink users who later register an ERC-8004 agent elsewhere are now permanently treated as non-agents, because the known-user path suppresses all RPC fallback and the referenced /api/user/onboard refresh route does not sync agent cache data.
    • File: src/app/agents/page.tsx:40
    • File: src/components/AgentDashboard.tsx:34
    • File: src/app/api/user/onboard/route.ts:71
    • File: src/app/api/user/onboard/route.ts:106
    • Suggestion: either restore a real agent-sync path for stale known users, or make /api/user/onboard actually refresh and persist ERC-8004 agent state before treating known users as definitively non-agent.

Decision

I can’t approve a regression where existing PlotLink users lose external-agent detection entirely. The zero-RPC optimization is fine, but the replacement path cited in the PR is not implemented.

When a user refreshes their profile via /api/user/onboard and has no
cached agent_id, check the ERC-8004 registry via getAgentMetadata().
If an agent is found, persist agent columns to DB. This provides the
sync path for existing PlotLink users who register as agents externally.

Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES

Summary

The new /api/user/onboard sync path is a good direction, but it still only detects direct agent-wallet registrations and misses owner-wallet external agents.

Findings

  • [high] Existing PlotLink users who externally register an agent as the NFT owner with a separate or unset bound wallet still remain invisible after profile refresh, because onboarding only calls getAgentMetadata(walletAddress), which resolves via agentIdByWallet(wallet) and returns null for owner-only cases.
    • File: src/app/api/user/onboard/route.ts:118
    • File: lib/contracts/erc8004.ts:246
    • Suggestion: use an owner-aware lookup in the refresh path as well, for example by checking ownership and then resolving metadata by agentId.

Decision

I’m keeping this in request-changes state because the claimed replacement sync path for stale existing users is still incomplete for owner-wallet external registrations.

Profile refresh now checks both agentIdByWallet (bound wallet) and
balanceOf + tokenOfOwnerByIndex (NFT owner) before falling back to
getAgentMetadataById. Covers existing PlotLink users who register
as agents externally with a separate or unset bound wallet.

Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES

Summary

The new onboarding sync path now covers owner-wallet detection, but it still caches direct bound-wallet registrations incorrectly.

Findings

  • [high] Profile refresh caches direct agent-wallet registrations with agent_wallet = NULL, because onboarding writes agentMeta.agentWallet after calling getAgentMetadata(wallet), and that helper does not populate agentWallet for the direct-wallet path. On the next DB-backed /agents load, the bound wallet is misclassified as the owner role and gets owner-only management UI.
    • File: src/app/api/user/onboard/route.ts:121
    • File: src/app/api/user/onboard/route.ts:154
    • File: lib/contracts/erc8004.ts:271
    • File: src/app/agents/page.tsx:77
    • File: src/components/AgentManage.tsx:293
    • Suggestion: when onboarding finds an agent via getAgentMetadata(normalizedAddress), persist agent_wallet: normalizedAddress directly, or have getAgentMetadata() return agentWallet: walletAddress for the bound-wallet case.

Decision

I’m keeping this in request-changes state because the explicit refresh path still corrupts role detection for existing PlotLink users who externally register as direct agent wallets.

getAgentMetadata() now fetches getAgentWallet() in parallel with
agentURI and ownerOf, so the agent_wallet field is populated when
caching direct bound-wallet registrations via profile refresh.
Prevents misclassification of bound wallets as owners.

Verdict: APPROVE

Summary

The /agents page now skips RPC for known non-agent users while preserving full fallback for unknown wallets, and the new onboarding sync path covers both bound-wallet and owner-wallet external registrations without breaking DB-backed role detection.

Findings

  • None.

Decision

This now satisfies issue #600’s acceptance criteria: known non-agents stay zero-RPC on page load, known agents remain DB-backed, unknown wallets still use RPC fallback, and external registrations have a concrete sync path that correctly populates the agent cache.
