+# webref Development Guidelines
+
+Auto-generated from all feature plans. Last updated: 2025-11-01
+
+## Constitutional Principles
+
+This project follows a formal constitution (`.specify/memory/constitution.md`). All development work MUST align with these principles:
+
+1. **Code Quality & Maintainability** - Clear, maintainable code with proper typing
+2. **Testing Discipline** - ≥80% coverage, automated testing required
+3. **User Experience Consistency** - Intuitive, accessible interfaces
+4. **Performance & Efficiency** - Performance-first design with bounded resources
+
+Reference the full constitution for detailed requirements and enforcement mechanisms.

+
+### Constitutional Requirements
+
+All code MUST meet these standards (per Principle 1):
+- Linter passing (zero errors/warnings)
+- Type hints on all public APIs
+- Clear single responsibilities (SRP)
+- Explicit constants (no magic numbers)
+- Comments explaining "why" not "what"
+
+## Testing Standards
+
+Per Constitutional Principle 2:
+- Minimum 80% test coverage required
+- Unit tests for all public functions
+- Integration tests for component interactions
+- Edge cases and error paths explicitly tested
+- Tests are deterministic, isolated, and fast (<1s unit, <10s integration)

+## Task Format Validation ✅
+
+All 331 tasks follow the required format:
+
+```
+- [ ] [T###] [P?] [US#?] Description with file path
+```
+
+**Examples:**
+```
+✅ - [ ] T036 [P] [US1] Create User model in backend/app/database/models/user.py
+✅ - [ ] T100 [US4] Initialize Konva.js Stage in frontend/src/lib/canvas/Stage.svelte
+✅ - [ ] T163 [US9] Implement align top/bottom in frontend/src/lib/canvas/operations/align.ts
+```
+
+**Validation Results:**
+- ✅ All tasks have checkbox `- [ ]`
+- ✅ All tasks have sequential ID (T001-T331)
+- ✅ Parallelizable tasks marked with [P]
+- ✅ User story tasks have [US#] label
+- ✅ All tasks have specific file paths
+- ✅ All tasks are actionable (clear description)
+
+---
+
+## Parallel Execution Opportunities
+
+### Phase 1 (Setup): 13 Parallel Tasks
+Tasks T002-T020 (excluding sequential dependencies) can run simultaneously.
+
+**Example Team Split:**
+- Developer 1: Nix config (T002, T003, T004, T009, T317, T318)
+- Developer 2: Backend setup (T005, T007, T011, T013, T015, T017, T018)
+- Developer 3: Frontend setup (T006, T008, T012, T014, T016)
+
+### Phase 2 (Foundational): 10 Parallel Tasks
+Tasks T021-T035 - most can run in parallel after T021-T024 complete.
+
+### Phase 3+ (User Stories): Full Parallelization
+Each user story is independent after foundational phase:
+
+**Parallel Story Development (Example Week 9-12):**
+- Team A: US9 (Alignment) + US12 (Export)
+- Team B: US10 (Groups) + US13 (Quality)
+- Team C: US11 (Sharing)
+
+All teams work simultaneously on different stories!
+
+---
+
+## MVP Scope Recommendation
+
+For fastest time-to-market, implement in this order:
+
+### MVP Phase 1 (Weeks 1-8) - 120 Tasks
+**Deliverable:** Functional reference board app
+
+- Phase 1-2: Setup (35 tasks)
+- US1: Authentication (20 tasks)
+- US2: Board Management (20 tasks)
+- US3: Image Upload (24 tasks)
+- US4-US5: Canvas basics (22 tasks)
+- US6: Transformations (12 tasks)
+
+**Result:** Users can create boards, upload images, position and transform them.
+
+### MVP Phase 2 (Weeks 9-12) - 88 Tasks
+**Deliverable:** Collaboration features
+
+- US7-US10: Multi-select, clipboard, alignment, groups (47 tasks)
+- US11: Sharing (19 tasks)
+- US12: Export (12 tasks)
+- US13: Adaptive quality (10 tasks)
+
+**Result:** Full collaboration and export capabilities.
+
+### Polish Phase (Weeks 13-16) - 123 Tasks
+**Deliverable:** Production-ready
+
+- US14-US18: Library, palette, focus, slideshow, arrange (41 tasks)
+- Performance optimization (10 tasks)
+- Testing (15 tasks)
+- Accessibility (13 tasks)
+- Deployment (23 tasks)
+- Documentation (21 tasks)
+
+**Result:** Polished, tested, deployed application.
+
+---
+
+## Independent Test Criteria
+
+Each user story phase includes independent test criteria that can be verified without other features:
+
+**Example (US1 - Authentication):**
+- ✅ Users can register with valid email/password
+- ✅ Users can login and receive JWT token
+- ✅ Protected endpoints reject unauthenticated requests
+- ✅ Password validation enforces complexity rules
+
+This enables:
+- Feature flag rollouts (deploy incomplete features, hidden behind flags)
+- A/B testing individual features
+- Incremental beta releases
+- Independent QA validation
+
+---
+
+## Technology Stack Reference
+
+**All tasks reference this verified stack:**
+
+**Frontend:**
+- Svelte + SvelteKit (framework)
+- Konva.js (canvas library)
+- Vite (build tool)
+- Vitest + Testing Library (testing)
+
+**Backend:**
+- FastAPI (web framework)
+- SQLAlchemy + Alembic (database ORM + migrations)
+- Pydantic (validation)
+- Pillow + ImageMagick (image processing)
+- pytest (testing)
+
+**Infrastructure:**
+- PostgreSQL (database)
+- MinIO (S3-compatible storage)
+- Nginx (reverse proxy)
+- Nix (deployment)
+
+**All verified in nixpkgs** - see VERIFICATION-COMPLETE.md
+
+---
+
+## Next Actions
+
+### Immediate (Today)
+
+1. **Review tasks.md:**
+   ```bash
+   cat specs/001-reference-board-viewer/tasks.md
+   ```
+
+2. **Understand the format:**
+   - [T###] = Task ID
+   - [P] = Parallelizable
+   - [US#] = User Story label
+
+3. **Choose approach:**
+   - Full MVP (120 tasks, Weeks 1-8)
+   - OR Complete v1.0 (331 tasks, Weeks 1-16)
+
+### This Week (Week 1)
+
+Start with Phase 1 (T001-T020):
+```bash
+# T001: Initialize Git structure
+# T002: Create flake.nix
+# T003: Update shell.nix
+# ... follow tasks.md sequentially
+```
+
+### Team Organization
+
+If you have a team:
+- **Backend Developer:** Focus on backend tasks in each phase
+- **Frontend Developer:** Focus on frontend tasks in each phase
+- **Full-Stack:** Can work on any tasks marked [P]
+
+If solo:
+- Follow tasks sequentially (T001 → T002 → T003...)
+- Skip tasks marked [P] in same phase to avoid context switching
+- Complete one user story fully before moving to next

+

+
+## Migrations Strategy
+
+**Tool:** Alembic (SQLAlchemy migration tool)
+
+**Process:**
+1. Initial migration creates all tables
+2. Subsequent migrations track schema changes
+3. All migrations tested in staging before production
+4. Rollback scripts maintained for each migration
+5. Migrations run automatically during deployment
+
+**Naming Convention:**
+```
+YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_descriptive_name.py
+```
+
+Example:
+```
+20251102_100000_initial_schema.py
+20251110_140000_add_comments_table.py
+```
+
+---
+
+## Data Integrity Rules
+
+### Referential Integrity
+- All foreign keys have ON DELETE CASCADE or SET NULL as appropriate
+- No orphaned records allowed
+
+### Business Rules
+1. User must own board to modify it
+2. Images can only be added to boards by board owner
+3. Share links can only be created/revoked by board owner
+4. Comments only allowed on boards with active View+Comment links
+5. Soft deletes used for boards (is_deleted flag) to preserve history
+6. Hard deletes for images only when reference_count = 0
+
+### Validation
+- All constraints enforced at database level
+- Additional validation in application layer (Pydantic models)
+- Client-side validation for UX (pre-submit checks)
+
+---
+
+## Query Patterns
+
+### Common Queries
+
+**1. Get user's boards (with image count):**
+```sql
+SELECT b.*, COUNT(bi.id) as image_count
+FROM boards b
+LEFT JOIN board_images bi ON b.id = bi.board_id
+WHERE b.user_id = $1 AND b.is_deleted = FALSE
+GROUP BY b.id
+ORDER BY b.updated_at DESC;
+```
+
+**2. Get board with all images (sorted by Z-order):**
+```sql
+SELECT bi.*, i.*, bi.transformations, bi.position
+FROM board_images bi
+JOIN images i ON bi.image_id = i.id
+WHERE bi.board_id = $1
+ORDER BY bi.z_order ASC;
+```
+
+**3. Get groups with member count:**
+```sql
+SELECT g.*, COUNT(bi.id) as member_count
+FROM groups g
+LEFT JOIN board_images bi ON g.id = bi.group_id
+WHERE g.board_id = $1
+GROUP BY g.id
+ORDER BY g.created_at DESC;
+```
+
+**4. Validate share link:**
+```sql
+SELECT sl.*, b.user_id as board_owner_id
+FROM share_links sl
+JOIN boards b ON sl.board_id = b.id
+WHERE sl.token = $1
+  AND sl.is_revoked = FALSE
+  AND (sl.expires_at IS NULL OR sl.expires_at > NOW());
+```
+
+**5. Search user's image library:**
+```sql
+SELECT *
+FROM images
+WHERE user_id = $1
+  AND filename ILIKE $2
+ORDER BY created_at DESC
+LIMIT 50;
+```
+
+---
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Indexes
+- All foreign keys indexed
+- JSONB fields use GIN indexes for fast queries
+- Compound indexes for common query patterns
+
+### Optimization
+- Pagination for large result sets (LIMIT/OFFSET)
+- Connection pooling (SQLAlchemy default: 5-20 connections)
+- Prepared statements for repeated queries
+- JSONB queries optimized with proper indexing
+
+### Monitoring
+- Slow query log enabled (>100ms)
+- Query explain plans reviewed regularly
+- Database statistics collected (pg_stat_statements)
+
+---
+
+## Backup & Recovery
+
+**Strategy:**
+- Daily full backups (pg_dump)
+- Point-in-time recovery enabled (WAL archiving)
+- Retention: 30 days
+- Test restores monthly
+
+**Data Durability:**
+- Database: PostgreSQL with WAL (99.99% durability)
+- Images: MinIO with erasure coding (99.999% durability)
+- Separate backup of both systems
+
+---
+
+This data model supports all 18 functional requirements and ensures data integrity, performance, and scalability.

+# Quickstart Guide: Reference Board Viewer
+
+**Last Updated:** 2025-11-02  
+**For:** Developers starting implementation  
+**Prerequisites:** Nix installed, basic Git knowledge  
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide will get you from zero to a running development environment for the Reference Board Viewer in under 10 minutes.
+
+---
+
+## Step 1: Clone and Enter Development Environment
+
+```bash
+# Clone repository (if not already)
+cd /home/jawz/Development/Projects/personal/webref
+
+# Enter Nix development shell (installs all dependencies)
+nix develop
+
+# Verify tools are available
+python --version    # Should show Python 3.12+
+node --version      # Should show Node.js latest
+psql --version      # PostgreSQL client
+```
+
+**What this does:** Nix installs all verified dependencies from nixpkgs (see VERIFICATION-COMPLETE.md)
+
+---
+
+## Step 2: Initialize Database
+
+```bash
+# Start PostgreSQL (in development)
+# Option A: Using Nix
+pg_ctl -D ./pgdata init
+pg_ctl -D ./pgdata start
+
+# Option B: Using system PostgreSQL
+sudo systemctl start postgresql
+
+# Create database
+createdb webref
+
+# Run migrations (after backend setup)
+cd backend
+alembic upgrade head
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 3: Set Up Backend (FastAPI)
+
+```bash
+# Create backend directory
+mkdir -p backend
+cd backend
+
+# Initialize uv project
+uv init
+
+# Install dependencies (all verified in nixpkgs)
+uv add fastapi uvicorn sqlalchemy alembic pydantic \
+       python-jose passlib pillow boto3 python-multipart \
+       httpx pytest pytest-cov pytest-asyncio
+
+# Create basic structure
+mkdir -p app/{auth,boards,images,database,api,core} tests
+
+# Create main.py
+cat > app/main.py << 'EOF'
+from fastapi import FastAPI
+from fastapi.middleware.cors import CORSMiddleware
+
+app = FastAPI(title="Reference Board Viewer API")
+
+app.add_middleware(
+    CORSMiddleware,
+    allow_origins=["http://localhost:5173"],  # Vite dev server
+    allow_credentials=True,
+    allow_methods=["*"],
+    allow_headers=["*"],
+)
+
+@app.get("/")
+async def root():
+    return {"message": "Reference Board Viewer API", "version": "1.0.0"}
+
+@app.get("/health")
+async def health():
+    return {"status": "healthy"}
+EOF
+
+# Run development server
+uvicorn app.main:app --reload --port 8000
+
+# Test: curl http://localhost:8000/
+```
+
+**Verify:** Navigate to http://localhost:8000/docs to see auto-generated OpenAPI documentation.
+
+---
+
+## Step 4: Set Up Frontend (Svelte + Konva)
+
+```bash
+# Create frontend directory (in new terminal)
+cd /home/jawz/Development/Projects/personal/webref
+mkdir -p frontend
+cd frontend
+
+# Initialize SvelteKit project
+npm create svelte@latest .
+# Choose: Skeleton project, Yes to TypeScript, Yes to ESLint, Yes to Prettier
+
+# Install dependencies
+npm install
+npm install konva
+
+# Create basic canvas component
+mkdir -p src/lib/canvas
+cat > src/lib/canvas/Board.svelte << 'EOF'
+<script lang="ts">
+  import { onMount } from 'svelte';
+  import Konva from 'konva';
+  
+  let container: HTMLDivElement;
+  let stage: Konva.Stage;
+  
+  onMount(() => {
+    stage = new Konva.Stage({
+      container: container,
+      width: window.innerWidth,
+      height: window.innerHeight
+    });
+    
+    const layer = new Konva.Layer();
+    stage.add(layer);
+    
+    const text = new Konva.Text({
+      text: 'Reference Board Canvas',
+      fontSize: 24,
+      fill: 'black',
+      x: 50,
+      y: 50
+    });
+    
+    layer.add(text);
+    layer.draw();
+  });
+</script>
+
+<div bind:this={container} class="canvas-container"></div>
+
+<style>
+  .canvas-container {
+    width: 100%;
+    height: 100vh;
+    background: #f0f0f0;
+  }
+</style>
+EOF
+
+# Update home page
+cat > src/routes/+page.svelte << 'EOF'
+<script>
+  import Board from '$lib/canvas/Board.svelte';
+</script>
+
+<Board />
+EOF
+
+# Run development server
+npm run dev -- --open
+
+# Verify: Browser opens to http://localhost:5173
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 5: Start MinIO (Image Storage)
+
+```bash
+# In new terminal
+mkdir -p ~/minio-data
+
+# Start MinIO
+minio server ~/minio-data --console-address :9001
+
+# Access console: http://localhost:9001
+# Default credentials: minioadmin / minioadmin
+
+# Create bucket
+mc alias set local http://localhost:9000 minioadmin minioadmin
+mc mb local/webref
+```

+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Nix command not found"
+```bash
+# Install Nix
+curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
+```
+
+### "Port 8000 already in use"
+```bash
+# Find and kill process
+lsof -i :8000
+kill -9 <PID>
+```
+
+### "PostgreSQL connection refused"
+```bash
+# Start PostgreSQL
+sudo systemctl start postgresql
+# Or using Nix:
+pg_ctl -D ./pgdata start
+```
+
+### "npm install fails"
+```bash
+# Clear npm cache
+npm cache clean --force
+rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
+npm install
+```
+
+### "Python module not found"
+```bash
+# Reinstall with uv
+uv sync
+# Or exit and re-enter nix shell
+exit
+nix develop
+```
