   • Common development tasks
   • Debugging guide
   • Best practices
   • FAQ

3. RULES.md (Data Handling & Enforcement)

   • Authentication: Single PocketBase token
   • Caching: Redis/Valkey with TTL-based strategy

   • File categorization: Manager Info, Contracts, Submittals, Plans, Other
   • State management: Single state object per view
   • API response format standards
   • Naming conventions
   • Testing rules
   • Error handling patterns
   • Logging guidelines

4. FLOWMAP.md (Application Architecture)

   • High-level user journey (visual ASCII diagram)
   • Data flow (frontend → backend → external APIs)
   • Cache flow (request → Redis → PocketBase)
   • State management flow
   • Authentication flow
   • View hierarchy

5. VIEWS.md (UI Component Patterns)

   • View hierarchy breakdown
   • AuthView (Sign In) - HTML structure
   • LandingView (Home) - Job cards, search, filters
   • ManagerInfoView (Detail) - Job info, file list, notes
   • NotesView (Expanded) - Full screen notes
   • FilePreviewModal - PDF/image/document viewers
   • Component standards (buttons, cards, badges)
   • Responsive design (mobile/tablet/desktop)
   • 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.

Why This Approach Works

1. Comprehensive - Covers every aspect of the application
2. Searchable - Each document has clear sections
3. Accessible - Multiple entry points (INDEX, ONBOARDING, task-based)
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
