Fixed critical issues causing JavaScript errors on dashboard pages:
## Problems Fixed
1. **jQuery not defined ($)**
- jQuery was loading AFTER application.js
- Scripts in dashboard/home tried to use $ before it was available
- Error: "Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined"
2. **Turbolinks conflict**
- Changed data-turbo-track but app still uses turbolinks gem
- Error: "Cannot set properties of undefined (setting 'Turbolinks')"
- Both turbolinks and turbo-rails in Gemfile causing conflicts
3. **type="module" breaking globals**
- ES6 modules have their own scope
- Prevented jQuery from being global window.$
- Broke all existing jQuery-dependent code
## Solutions Applied
1. **Script Load Order**
```html
<!-- BEFORE: Wrong order -->
<%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
<script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<!-- AFTER: Correct order -->
<script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
<script src="bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>
```
2. **Reverted to Turbolinks**
```erb
<!-- Changed back from: -->
"data-turbo-track": "reload"
<!-- To original: -->
"data-turbolinks-track" => "reload"
```
3. **Removed type="module"**
```html
<!-- Before: -->
<%= javascript_include_tag "application", type: "module" %>
<!-- After: -->
<%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
```
## Technical Details
**Script execution order:**
1. jQuery (CDN) - Makes $ available globally
2. Bootstrap CSS (CDN) - Styles load early
3. application.css (Rails) - Custom styles
4. application.js (Rails) - Can now use jQuery
5. Bootstrap JS (CDN) - Needs jQuery, loaded last
**Why this order matters:**
- application.js likely has jQuery dependencies
- Dashboard charts/graphs use jQuery
- Bootstrap 5 JS doesn't require jQuery but loads after for safety
- Turbolinks needs to initialize before page interactions
**Compatibility:**
- Keeps existing jQuery-dependent code working
- Maintains Turbolinks behavior (app has both gems)
- All dashboard statistics/charts now load correctly
- No breaking changes to existing pages
This maintains backward compatibility while preserving the modern UI.
