Stack

• Frontend: React 19, React Router 7, Vite, Bootstrap 5, TypeScript (ESM)
• Backend: Express 4, TypeScript (ESM), Prisma 5 (PostgreSQL), MongoDB (raw driver), Keycloak OIDC/PKCE
• Shared types: shared/types.ts and shared/scene-types.ts — the API contract between front and back; extend these rather than duplicating type definitions
• Containerization: Docker Compose — ports 3001 (frontend), 3002 (backend), 8081 (Keycloak), 5432 (PostgreSQL), 27017 (MongoDB)

Architecture

Backend: routes/*.routes.ts → controllers/*.controller.ts → services/*.service.ts

• All imports use .js extension (ESM strict mode required, even when importing .ts source files)
• Filename convention: kebab-case with suffixes .routes.ts, .controller.ts, .service.ts, .middleware.ts
• createApp() factory in src/app.ts returns a configured, testable Express instance
• All routes carry Swagger JSDoc annotations

Frontend: routes/ (pages) → components/ (shared UI) → services/ (API calls) → adapters/ (3rd-party integrations)

• Auth shell in App.tsx (PKCE redirect handling); API client and OAuth logic in backend.ts
• Domain-scoped code goes under features/; integration adapters under adapters/

Data model:

• PostgreSQL (Prisma): Users, Sessions, Projects, ProjectRoles (manager/editor/viewer), Vocabularies
• MongoDB (raw driver, no ODM): HDT documents (one per project) containing PhysicalObjectMetadata, DigitalAssets, HDTScene, Annotations; AuditEvents in a separate collection
• projectId (PostgreSQL Project.id) is the bridge key between both stores and the filesystem path segment for uploaded files

Policies

• No DB migrations: this is an early-stage project. For schema changes, delete Docker volumes and reseed. Never write prisma migrate scripts. If backend TypeScript build fails with missing Prisma exports, run cd backend && npm run prisma:generate before rebuilding.
• Minimize code: always prefer the smallest correct implementation. Warn before writing large amounts of new code and suggest leaner alternatives. Actively flag dead code, unused imports, and leftover files for removal.
• No duplication: before adding a utility, service, or component, check whether an equivalent already exists.
• Testing: Vitest + Supertest; integration tests live in backend/src/test/.
• MongoDB topology: MongoDB is expected to run as a single-node replica set named rs0 in both Docker Compose and bare-metal local setups.
• MongoDB connection strings: use MONGO_URL=mongodb://mongodb:27017/?replicaSet=rs0 for Docker Compose and MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/?replicaSet=rs0 for bare-metal local development.
• MongoDB bootstrap: if MongoDB is recreated or volumes are reset, re-run the bootstrap flow so replica set initialization and collection/index setup are applied (scripts/bootstrap-mongo.sh or the higher-level startup scripts).
• Dev Compose seeding: the full local demo bootstrap depends on docker-compose.override.yml; backend seeding runs only when NODE_ENV=development.
• Seed ownership and scope: backend/seed.ts is the authoritative idempotent demo seed for PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and project_files; Keycloak demo users are imported separately from keycloak/realm-export/demo-realm.json.
• Keycloak dev issuer: in Docker Compose development, the public issuer must stay http://localhost:8081/realms/demo while the backend reaches Keycloak over the internal service network; keep hostname/backchannel settings aligned to avoid token issuer mismatches during PKCE login.
