-# CLAUDE.md
-
-This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
-
-## Project Overview
-
-CrowMate Nest is a community platform for **Headless Hazard**, an indie game. It consists of three monorepo sub-projects:
-
-- **`nest-backend/`**: REST API (Express + TypeScript + PostgreSQL/Prisma)
-- **`nest-front/`**: Public-facing community website (React + Vite, port 5173)
-- **`nest-intra/`**: Staff-only internal portal (React + Vite, port 5174)
-
-## Development Commands
-
-### Backend (`nest-backend/`)
-```bash
-npm run dev           # ts-node-dev with auto-restart
-npm run build         # TypeScript compilation to dist/
-npm start             # Run compiled dist/index.js
-npm run db:push       # Push Prisma schema changes (no migration file)
-npm run db:migrate    # Create and apply a migration
-npm run db:seed       # Run prisma/seed.ts
-npm run db:studio     # Open Prisma Studio UI
-```
-
-### Frontend & Intranet (`nest-front/` and `nest-intra/`)
-```bash
-npm run dev           # Vite dev server
-npm run build         # tsc + vite build
-npm run lint          # ESLint
-npm run preview       # Serve built output locally
-```
-
-### Environment Setup (Backend)
-Copy `.env.example` to `.env`. Key variables:
-```env
-DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/nest_db"
-JWT_SECRET="..."
-PORT=3000
-ADMIN_USERNAME / ADMIN_EMAIL / ADMIN_PASSWORD  # Auto-creates admin on startup
-FRONT_ORIGIN / INTRA_ORIGIN                    # Production CORS origins
-```
-
-## Architecture
-
-### Backend
-
-**Tech**: Express 4, TypeScript 5.6, Prisma 5.22, PostgreSQL, JWT (7d), bcryptjs, Zod
-
-**Request pipeline**: `authenticate()` → `requireStaff()` / `requireAdmin()` middleware, then route handler. JWT payload includes `{ userId, role, isAdmin }`.
-
-**Route groups** (all under `/api/`):
-- `auth`: login, register, /me
-- `users`: CRUD + ban/unban (admin)
-- `forum`: categories, threads (paginated), replies
-- `bugs`: bug reports with uniqueCode (HH-XXXX), comments, internal notes, me-too voting
-- `feed`: staff-only post feed
-- `events`: announcements/updates/milestones/polls with voting
-- `team`: team member profiles
-
-**Key patterns**:
-- All request bodies validated with Zod (`schema.safeParse()`)
-- Response shaping via format helpers (`formatBug()`, `formatMember()`, etc.) in `src/lib/`
-- Prisma eager-loads relations to avoid N+1
-- Composite primary keys for `MeTooBug` (userId + bugReportId) and `PollVote` (userId + pollOptionId)
-
-### Frontends (nest-front & nest-intra)
-
-**Tech**: React 19, Vite 7, Tailwind CSS 4, React Router 6, TypeScript 5.9
-
-Both frontends currently use **mock data** — no real API calls are wired up yet. Auth state is simulated with `MOCK_USERS` in `src/contexts/AuthContext.tsx` and persisted to `localStorage`.
-
-- `nest-front` uses storage key `crowmate_auth_user`; all roles (`user`, `dev`, `com`) can log in
-- `nest-intra` uses storage key `crowmate_intra_user`; blocks `role === 'user'` at login — staff only (`dev` / `com`)
-
-**Shared structure** (both React projects mirror each other):
-```
-src/
-  App.tsx              # Route definitions, React.lazy() imports
-  contexts/
-    AuthContext.tsx    # Auth state, role helpers, localStorage
-  components/
-    layout/            # Page wrapper with nav/sidebar
-    shared/            # ProtectedRoute, PageLoader, DevRoleSwitcher
-  pages/               # Page components (lazy loaded)
-  types/index.ts       # All TypeScript interfaces
-  utils/format.ts      # formatDate(), timeAgo(), truncate()
-  data/mockData.ts     # Mock users, forum, bugs, events, team
-```
-
-**DevRoleSwitcher component** (nest-front only): floating UI to switch auth roles instantly without logging out — for development testing only.
-
-### User Roles & Access
-
-| Role | Access |
-|------|--------|
-| `user` | Public site features only |
-| `dev` / `com` | Staff features (feed, intranet, bug triage, event creation) |
-| `isAdmin: true` | User management, forum moderation, destructive operations |
-
-### Data Models Summary
-
-**User**: id, username, email, password (hashed), role, isAdmin, isBanned, avatarUrl
-
-**Forum**: ForumCategory → ForumThread → ForumReply (cascade deletes on thread)
-
-**BugReport**: uniqueCode (HH-XXXX auto-generated), severity, status, assignedTo; with BugComment (public), BugReportNote (staff-only), MeTooBug
-
-**Events**: EventPost (type: announcement | update | milestone | poll) → Poll → PollOption → PollVote (composite key)
-
-**Team**: TeamMember standalone profiles
-
-### Docker
-
-Each sub-project has its own `Dockerfile` and `docker-compose.yml`. The backend uses multi-stage builds; frontends use Nginx to serve the Vite build output (`nginx.conf` included).
-
-## Key Implementation Notes
-
-- The backend auto-creates an admin user on startup if `ADMIN_USERNAME/EMAIL/PASSWORD` env vars are set
-- `prisma/seed.ts` populates sample data for development
-- `nest-intra/public/services.json` defines quick-link cards for dev tools (GitHub, Plane, Jenkins, Proxmox, etc.) shown on the `/intranet/services` page
-- Both frontends' `types/index.ts` and `utils/format.ts` are near-identical — changes often need to be mirrored
-- When integrating real API calls, replace mock auth in `contexts/AuthContext.tsx` and mock data in `data/mockData.ts`
