Voyage Development Instructions (Claude Code)

Project

• Name: Voyage
• Purpose: Build and maintain a self-hosted travel companion web app (fork of AdventureLog).
• Stack: SvelteKit 2 (TypeScript) frontend · Django REST Framework (Python) backend · PostgreSQL + PostGIS · Memcached · Docker · Bun (frontend package manager)

Architecture Overview

• Use the API proxy pattern: never call Django directly from frontend components.
• Route all frontend API calls through frontend/src/routes/api/[...path]/+server.ts.
• Proxy target is http://server:8000; preserve session cookies and CSRF behavior.
• AI chat is embedded in Collections → Recommendations via AITravelChat.svelte. There is no standalone /chat route. Chat providers are loaded dynamically from GET /api/chat/providers/ (backed by LiteLLM runtime providers + custom entries like opencode_zen). Chat conversations stream via SSE through /api/chat/conversations/.
• Service ports:
  • web → :8015
  • server → :8016
  • db → :5432
  • cache → internal only
• Keep authentication session-based with django-allauth.
• Fetch CSRF token from /auth/csrf/ and send X-CSRFToken on mutating requests.
• Preserve mobile middleware support for X-Session-Token.

Codebase Layout

• Backend root: backend/server/
  • Apps: adventures/, users/, worldtravel/, integrations/, achievements/, chat/
  • Chat provider config: backend/server/chat/llm_client.py (CHAT_PROVIDER_CONFIG)
• Frontend root: frontend/src/
  • Routes: src/routes/
  • Shared types: src/lib/types.ts (includes ChatProviderCatalogEntry)
  • Components: src/lib/components/ (includes AITravelChat.svelte)
  • Locales: src/locales/

Development Workflow

• Develop Docker-first. Start services with Docker before backend-dependent work.
• Use these commands:

Frontend (prefer Bun)

• cd frontend && bun run format
• cd frontend && bun run lint
• cd frontend && bun run check
• cd frontend && bun run build
• cd frontend && bun install

Backend (Docker required; prefer uv for local Python tooling)

• docker compose exec server python3 manage.py test
• docker compose exec server python3 manage.py migrate

Docker

• docker compose up -d
• docker compose down

Pre-Commit Checklist

Run in this exact order:

1. cd frontend && bun run format
2. cd frontend && bun run lint
3. cd frontend && bun run check
4. cd frontend && bun run build

ALWAYS run format before committing.

Known Issues (Expected)

• Frontend bun run check: 3 type errors + 19 warnings expected
• Backend tests: 2/3 fail (expected)
• Docker dev setup has frontend-backend communication issues (500 errors beyond homepage)

Key Patterns

• i18n: wrap user-facing strings with $t('key')
• API access: always use proxy route /api/[...path]/+server.ts
• Styling: prefer DaisyUI semantic classes (bg-primary, text-base-content)
• CSRF handling: use /auth/csrf/ + X-CSRFToken
• Chat providers: dynamic catalog from GET /api/chat/providers/; configured in CHAT_PROVIDER_CONFIG

Conventions

• Do not attempt to fix known test/configuration issues as part of feature work.
• Use bun for frontend commands, uv for local Python tooling where applicable.
• Commit and merge completed feature branches promptly once validation passes (avoid leaving finished work unmerged).
