Educational Modal Auto-Close Fix

🎯 Issue Summary

Problem: The educational modal was closing automatically when strategy generation completed, instead of waiting for the user to click the "Next: Review Strategy and Create Calendar" button.

Expected Behavior:

1. User clicks "Create Strategy"
2. Educational modal opens and shows progress
3. Strategy generation completes (100% progress)
4. Modal stays open and shows "Next: Review Strategy and Create Calendar" button
5. User clicks the button to close modal and navigate to Content Strategy tab

Actual Behavior:

1. User clicks "Create Strategy"
2. Educational modal opens and shows progress
3. Strategy generation completes (100% progress)
4. Modal closes automatically ❌
5. User never sees the "Next" button or gets redirected

🔍 Root Cause Analysis

The issue was in the ActionButtons.tsx file in the onComplete callback of the polling-based strategy generation:

// onComplete callback
(strategy: any) => {
  console.log('✅ Strategy generation completed successfully!');
  setCurrentStrategy(strategy);
  setShowEducationalModal(false); // ❌ This was the problem!
  setError('Strategy created successfully! Check the Strategic Intelligence tab for detailed insights.');
},

The modal was being closed programmatically when the strategy generation completed, preventing the user from seeing the completion state and clicking the "Next" button.

🛠️ The Solution

1. Removed Auto-Close on Completion

// onComplete callback
(strategy: any) => {
  console.log('✅ Strategy generation completed successfully!');
  setCurrentStrategy(strategy);
  // Don't close the modal automatically - let user click the button
  // setShowEducationalModal(false); // REMOVED - let user control modal closure
  console.log('🎯 Strategy generation complete - modal should stay open for user to click "Next" button');
},

2. Kept Auto-Close on Error

// onError callback
(error: string) => {
  console.error('❌ Strategy generation failed:', error);
  setError(`Strategy generation failed: ${error}`);
  setShowEducationalModal(false); // Only close on error
},

3. Added Debugging

// Debug: Check if progress reached 100%
if (taskStatus.progress >= 100) {
  console.log('🎯 Progress reached 100% - modal should show "Next" button');
}

User Flow After Fix

1. User clicks "Create Strategy" → Enterprise modal appears
2. User clicks "Proceed with Current Strategy" → Educational modal opens
3. Strategy generation runs → Progress updates in real-time
4. Generation completes (100%) → Modal stays open, shows "Next" button
