Few questions

• Any modifications we want to make the the prompt / is the summary good & representative of the prof's course?
• Can we / should we indicate which semester the syllabus is from?
• Should this be added to planner?
• How long should we cache a syllabus? Every semester we get a new link, so potentially we cache it forever? I also think like a 30 day limit is chill (in case we update prompts. If a professor updates the syllabus can they upload the new doc at the same link?)
• I think the rmp ai + syllabus ai ui can be modified by designers in the Spring, but we can still probably merge this in in the meantime

[egsch]

Added some UI changes and an attempt to fix the useEffect warnings and potential loop. Not totally sure the second fix works, but it seems to so far.

Are we ready to enable caching?

[AbhiramTadepalli]

Should this be added to planner?

Right now you can access the syllabus summary as you would in the dashboard. There are also "View Syllabus" links next to each section. Is this what we want?

Can we / should we indicate which semester the syllabus is from?

I think we should indicate it somewhere in our UI.

Small changes, they could be made into Good first issues if short on time to merge.

• remove the dropdown when no syllabus exists
• fix: GOVT 2306 Jing Tao (no grades and/or no rmp) has a previous syllabus, but the component doesn't show (Summer 2026 Planner)
• Syllabus Summary now showing in MyPlanner (it used to in cbe70d5)

Oh oops sorry about these, I can work on these and get them done tomorrow morning

[ ] fix: GOVT 2306 Jing Tao (no grades and/or no rmp) has a previous syllabus, but the component doesn't show (Summer 2026 Planner)

Jing Tao doesn't have a previous syllabus, my bad. It shows a previous summer gov syllabus tho.
The underlying edge case is if a prof has no RMP, their syllabus summary won't be show as <SingleProfInfo/> isn't rendered.

I think that's fine for now?

[AbhiramTadepalli]

LGMT!

[TyHil]

Wouldn't it be pretty easy to just separate the syllabus summary from the RMP component? Seems odd that they're coupled anyways

Ig if you're just trying to merge, that could become a "good first issue"

yeah that's probably a good idea. the only issue is that rn in the UI we have a single row with RMP link & syllabus summary dropdown which is kinda awkward to recreate in 2 components. I had a version where the component was universally shown and we had a check inside to only show RMP info if ncecessary, but I can try to do it as 2 components instead

[TyHil]

Yeah might just be better with a slightly different design and as 2 components

[AbhiramTadepalli]

How about we merge (since it's an edge case that only happens when the prof doesn't have rmp (they're new, or no one rly cares to review)) and address it in the expanded view redesign?

[TyHil]

Sounds good. I think if you can make a quick issue rn tho, just so it's a documented bug, that'd be good
