Enhancement: UI Simplification for Set Generation

Status: Completed

Summary

Refined the Cube Manager UI to hide redundant options when generating packs from an entire expansion set.

Changes

  1. CubeManager.tsx:
    • Conditional Rendering: The "Card Source" options (Chaos Draft vs Split by Expansion) are now hidden when "From Expansion" mode is selected.
    • Automatic State Handling:
      • Selecting "From Expansion" automatically sets generation mode to by_set.
      • Selecting "Custom List" resets generation mode to mixed (user can still change it).
    • Rationale: Using an entire set implies preserving its structure (one set), whereas a custom list is often a cube (chaos) or a collection of specific sets where the user might want explicitly mixed packs.

Impact

  • Reduces visual noise for the user when they simply want to draft a specific set.
  • Prevents invalid configurations (e.g., selecting "Chaos Draft" for a single set, which technically works but is confusing in context of "Set Generation").
