   - Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 Level AA)

6. **TECH_STACK.md** (Technology Enforcement)
   - Bun (runtime) - Installation & commands
   - Hono (framework) - Routing & middleware patterns
   - PostCSS + Tailwind - CSS setup & usage
   - TypeScript - Strict typing requirements
   - ioredis - Cache client usage
   - PocketBase SDK - Auth patterns
   - dotenv - Configuration management
   - Dependency management rules
   - Code review checklist

## Key Values Preserved

### Current Application Strengths

1. **Excellent Caching Strategy**
   - Redis/Valkey integration working perfectly
   - Cache key format: `noun:filter:value`
   - Smart TTL usage (5-15 minutes)
   - Documented in RULES.md

2. **Clean Single Token Flow**
   - PocketBase authentication only
   - Token obtained at login, reused everywhere
   - No Graph token mess
   - Documented in RULES.md & FLOWMAP.md

3. **Smart File Handling**
   - Filters by type (PDF, Word, Image)
   - Categorizes by folder name patterns
   - Frontend cache prevents re-fetches
   - Documented in RULES.md & VIEWS.md

4. **Professional UI Patterns**
   - Clear view hierarchy
   - Responsive design
   - Accessible components
   - Documented in VIEWS.md

## How to Use These Documents

### For New Developers
1. Read INDEX.md (2 min)
2. Follow ONBOARDING.md quick start (5 min)
3. Read RULES.md completely (30 min)
4. Reference VIEWS.md when building UI
5. Reference TECH_STACK.md when adding code

### For Team Leads / Code Review
- Use INDEX.md checklist before approving PRs
- Reference RULES.md to enforce patterns
- Use FLOWMAP.md to explain architecture

### For DevOps / Deployment
- Follow ONBOARDING.md deployment section
- Reference TECH_STACK.md for dependency versions
- Use scripts provided in package.json

## Next Steps for Production Migration

### Phase 1: Preparation (This is complete!)
- ✅ Document all current rules
- ✅ Document all current patterns
- ✅ Document application flow
- ✅ Document view architecture
- ✅ Document tech stack

### Phase 2: Use Opus 4.5 (Recommended)
With these documents, create:
1. **Initial project structure** in Job-Info-Prod/
2. **Comprehensive README** with links to auth/ docs
3. **Backend scaffolding** (src structure, middleware, types)
4. **Frontend scaffolding** (view templates, CSS structure)
5. **Testing framework** setup (Vitest + examples)

### Phase 3: Switch to Sonnet 4.5
1. Migrate/implement backend routes
2. Migrate/implement frontend views
3. Ensure caching works correctly
4. Run integration tests
5. Deploy to staging

## File Locations

All documentation is in:
```
/home/admin/Job-Info-Test/auth/
├── INDEX.md           (Start here - navigation)
├── ONBOARDING.md      (Getting started)
├── RULES.md           (Data handling rules - MOST IMPORTANT)
├── FLOWMAP.md         (Application flows)
├── VIEWS.md           (UI patterns)
├── TECH_STACK.md      (Technology versions)
└── auth-universal.js  (Auth implementation)
```

These will be copied to `Job-Info-Prod/auth/` for the new project.

4. **Maintainable** - Cross-referenced, easy to update
5. **Professional** - Matches industry standards
6. **Practical** - Code examples, checklists, workflows
7. **Actionable** - "How to" guides for common tasks
8. **Enforceable** - Clear rules, checklist for code review
