# AGENTS.md
Guidance for AI agents and contributors working in this repo. Read `README.md` for
commands and layout.
## Project priorities (do not erode)
1. **Simplicity** — prefer the smallest, most readable solution.
2. **Few dependencies** — runtime deps stay minimal (today `ejs` + `lucide-static`).
Prefer the Node standard library; justify any new dependency; do not add
frameworks. The app is
**stateless — no database**. Auth/identity/OAuth are **Ory sidecar services**
(Kratos/Keto/Hydra, backed by Postgres), reached over their REST APIs with
built-in `fetch` — no SDK dependency. New capabilities ship as **plugin
folders** under `plugins/` that fetch their data from upstream services, not as
core code. See `README.md` for the architecture.
3. **Strict TypeScript**`tsconfig.json` is strict (incl. `noUncheckedIndexedAccess`,
`exactOptionalPropertyTypes`, `verbatimModuleSyntax`). Keep it that way.
## Docker only — no host tooling
**Everything** (install, typecheck, test, run, build, deploy) goes through Docker /
Docker Compose. **Never run `node`, `npm`, or `tsc` on the host.**
```bash
docker compose up # dev server, live reload
docker compose run --rm web npm run typecheck # strict type check
docker compose run --rm web npm test # tests
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up --build -d # production
```
## Rules
- Node 24 runs `.ts` directly (type stripping). Keep all TypeScript **erasable**
(`erasableSyntaxOnly` is on): no `enum`, `namespace`, parameter properties, or
decorators. Import local modules with their `.ts` extension.
- **No build step** and no compiled artifacts — do not add a bundler or `tsc` emit.
- Before finishing a change, run the typecheck and tests above; both must pass.
- Tests use the built-in `node --test` runner — no test framework dependency.
- English everywhere. Keep code comments short and information-dense.
- Pin all dependencies and Docker images to exact, human-readable **semantic
versions** — never ranges (`^`, `~`) and never digests/hashes. npm deps are kept
exact by `.npmrc` (`save-exact=true`) + `npm ci`; the base image by tag (e.g.
`node:24.16.0-alpine3.24`).
