# πŸ› BUG FIXES COMPLETE ## Issues Fixed ### 1. ❌ "not available" Error **Problem**: Server was not returning chunk-level analysis data, causing frontend to show "not available" **Solution**: - Enhanced `combined_server.py` to analyze each paragraph individually - Added per-paragraph scoring based on all ML models - Returns `chunks` array with detailed information for each paragraph ### 2. ❌ Console Errors (loader.js) **Problem**: INP (Interaction to Next Paint) blocking caused by sidebar interactions **Solution**: - Optimized sidebar rendering with proper event delegation - Added proper element cleanup when sidebar closes - Fixed event listener attachment timing ### 3. ❌ Missing Click-to-Scroll Functionality **Problem**: Users couldn't click on suspicious paragraphs in sidebar to jump to them on the page (like in mis_2) **Solution**: - Added `scrollToChunk()` function with intelligent text matching - Implements click handlers on all suspicious paragraph cards - Smooth scroll animation with flash effect - Fallback search if element not found by data attribute ### 4. ❌ Missing Suspicious Paragraphs Display **Problem**: Sidebar didn't show the list of suspicious paragraphs with "why flagged" explanations **Solution**: - Added "Suspicious Paragraphs" section to sidebar - Shows each flagged paragraph with: - Index number - Score badge (color-coded) - Text preview (italic) - "Why Flagged" explanation - Click-to-jump instruction - Color-coded cards: Red (>70%) and Yellow (40-70%) ### 5. ❌ Highlighting Not Working Properly **Problem**: Highlight button didn't mark suspicious paragraphs on the page **Solution**: - Enhanced `highlightElement()` to add chunk index data attributes - Improved text matching algorithm - Added hover effects and tooltips - Shows notification after highlighting - Clears highlights when sidebar closes --- ## Files Modified ### 1. **`combined_server.py`** (Backend) #### Changes: - Added per-paragraph analysis loop - Calculates individual paragraph scores - Generates "why_flagged" explanations for each paragraph - Returns `chunks` array with: - `index`: Paragraph number - `text`: Full text - `text_preview`: First 150 chars - `suspicious_score`: 0-100 score - `why_flagged`: Multi-line explanation - `severity`: 'high', 'medium', or 'low' #### New Response Structure: ```python { 'success': True, 'chunks': [ { 'index': 0, 'text': 'Full paragraph text...', 'text_preview': 'First 150 chars...', 'suspicious_score': 75, 'why_flagged': 'Fake news probability: 85%\nEmotional manipulation: anger\nClickbait detected: 78%', 'severity': 'high' }, ... ], 'overall': { 'fake_paragraphs': 5, 'suspicious_paragraphs': 12, 'safe_paragraphs': 33, 'credible_paragraphs': 33, ... }, ... } ``` ### 2. **`extension/content.js`** (Frontend) #### Changes Made: **A. Enhanced Sidebar Display** - Added "Suspicious Paragraphs" section - Shows clickable cards for each flagged paragraph - Color-coded by severity (red >70%, yellow 40-70%) - Displays "why flagged" explanations - Shows "All Clear" message if no suspicious content **B. Added Click-to-Scroll Function** ```javascript function scrollToChunk(chunkIndex) { // 1. Find element by data attribute // 2. Fallback: Search by text content // 3. Scroll with smooth animation // 4. Flash effect to highlight // 5. Error handling with user feedback } ``` **C. Enhanced Highlighting** - Added chunk index tracking - Improved element selection - Skip sidebar elements - Better tooltips - Notification after highlighting **D. Improved Event Handling** - Click listeners on paragraph cards - Close button clears highlights - Proper cleanup on sidebar close --- ## How It Works Now ### 1. **Scan Page Flow** ``` User clicks "Scan Page" ↓ Extract paragraphs from page ↓ Send to server for analysis ↓ Server analyzes EACH paragraph: - RoBERTa fake news check - Emotion analysis - Hate speech detection - Clickbait detection - Linguistic fingerprint - Builds "why flagged" explanation ↓ Server returns chunks array ↓ Sidebar displays: - Overall stats - Groq AI analysis - ML models results - Detection phases - List of suspicious paragraphs ← NEW! ↓ Each paragraph card shows: - Preview text - Suspicious score - Why it was flagged - Click-to-jump instruction ``` ### 2. **Click-to-Scroll Flow** ``` User clicks suspicious paragraph card ↓ scrollToChunk(index) called ↓ Try to find element: 1. Search by data-linkscout-chunk attribute 2. If not found, search by text content 3. Match first 100 chars of text ↓ Element found! ↓ Mark with data attribute ↓ Ensure highlighted ↓ Smooth scroll to center ↓ Flash animation (blue glow) ↓ User sees the paragraph on page! ``` ### 3. **Highlight Button Flow** ``` User clicks "Highlight" button ↓ highlightSuspiciousContent() called ↓ Filter chunks with score > 40 ↓ For each suspicious chunk: - Find elements with matching text - Apply colored border (red/yellow/blue) - Add background tint - Add tooltip with score - Store chunk index in data attribute ↓ Show notification: "X Suspicious Paragraphs Highlighted" ↓ User sees colored borders on page! ``` --- ## Visual Examples ### Sidebar -
