Dashboard Redesign - Initial Implementation Review

This PR introduces the foundation for a new Compose-based dashboard implementation, along with useful base classes for use cases. The overall architecture follows good patterns with MVVM and Compose, though there are several issues that should be addressed.

Issues Found

• DashboardScreenTest.kt:16 - Missing Hilt test rule setup despite @HiltAndroidTest annotation
• DashboardScreenTest.kt:36 - Hardcoded test tags should be extracted to constants
• DashboardViewModel.kt:52 - loadDashboard() is placeholder implementation with no actual data loading
• DashboardViewModel.kt:33 - networkStateProvider injected but never used
• DashboardViewModel.kt:67 - _refreshSignal emitted but no subscribers handle it
• DashboardUiState.kt:19 - Callbacks stored in UI state (anti-pattern - should be direct ViewModel methods)
• DashboardViewModelTest.kt:84 - Use assertFalse()/assertNull() instead of assertEquals(false/null, ...)
• DashboardViewModelTest.kt:108 - testCallbacksExist() doesn't provide meaningful verification
• DashboardModule.kt:23 - Empty Dagger module serves no purpose
• UseCaseResult.kt:46 - Consider data object Loading for consistency

Positive Aspects

✅ Good separation of concerns with Fragment, Screen, ViewModel, and UiState
✅ Proper use of Hilt for dependency injection
✅ Comprehensive test coverage including both unit and UI tests
✅ Feature flag (DASHBOARD_REDESIGN) allows safe rollout
✅ Clean migration strategy preserving old dashboard as OldDashboardFragment
✅ Well-documented base use case classes with clear usage examples
✅ Proper use of StateFlow for reactive UI updates
✅ Pull-to-refresh implementation follows Material Design patterns

Recommendations

1. Complete the implementation: The ViewModel currently doesn't load any actual dashboard data. Before merging, implement the data loading logic or clearly mark this as a WIP.

2. Fix the UI state pattern: Move callbacks out of DashboardUiState and expose them as ViewModel methods that the UI calls directly.

3. Clean up unused code: Remove unused dependencies (networkStateProvider, _refreshSignal) or implement their intended functionality.

4. Improve test quality: Fix the Hilt setup in tests and make assertions more meaningful.

5. Consider accessibility: Ensure test tags also serve as content descriptions where appropriate.

Security & Performance

No security concerns identified. Performance should be good with Compose, but actual dashboard data loading will need performance consideration when implemented.
