This file provides guidance to Claude Code when working with this repository.

Purpose & Constraints

Multi-app SaaS monorepo with shared packages and centralized authentication.

• Package Manager: pnpm 9.15+ (use pnpm for all commands)
• Build System: Turborepo
• Node Version: 20+
• NEVER create files unless necessary - prefer editing existing files
• NEVER create documentation unless explicitly requested
• Prefer editing over creating - check if functionality exists first

Quick Start

# Start infrastructure (PostgreSQL, Redis, MinIO)
pnpm docker:up

# Start any app with automatic DB setup
pnpm dev:chat:full       # Chat with auth + backend + web
pnpm dev:zitare:full     # Zitare with auth + backend + web
pnpm dev:picture:full    # Picture with auth + backend + web
pnpm dev:contacts:full   # Contacts with auth + backend + web

Technology Stack

App Type	Stack
Backend	NestJS 10-11 + Drizzle ORM + PostgreSQL
Web	SvelteKit 2 + Svelte 5 (runes mode)
Mobile	Expo SDK 52-54 + React Native + NativeWind
Landing	Astro 5 + Tailwind CSS
Auth	mana-core-auth (EdDSA JWT, port 3001)

Critical Gotchas

1. Turborepo Infinite Loops

NEVER put turbo run <task> in child package.json for tasks orchestrated from root.

// ❌ WRONG - Creates infinite recursion
// apps/chat/package.json
{
  "scripts": {
    "type-check": "turbo run type-check",  // DON'T DO THIS
    "build": "turbo run build"             // DON'T DO THIS
  }
}

// ✅ CORRECT - Let root turbo handle it
{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "turbo run dev"  // OK (persistent task)
    // No type-check, build, lint - handled by root
  }
}

2. Svelte 5 Runes ONLY

Always use Svelte 5 runes syntax, never old Svelte syntax.

// ✅ CORRECT - Svelte 5 runes
let count = $state(0);
let doubled = $derived(count * 2);
$effect(() => console.log(count));

// ❌ WRONG - Old Svelte syntax
let count = 0;
$: doubled = count * 2;

3. Authentication Integration

All backends need MANA_CORE_AUTH_URL=http://localhost:3001 env var.

// Use @manacore/shared-nestjs-auth for JWT validation
import { JwtAuthGuard, CurrentUser } from '@manacore/shared-nestjs-auth';

@UseGuards(JwtAuthGuard)
@Get('profile')
getProfile(@CurrentUser() user: CurrentUserData) {
  return { userId: user.userId };
}

4. Go-Style Error Handling

Use Result types, never throw exceptions in application code.

// ✅ CORRECT
import { Result, ok, err } from '@manacore/shared-errors';

async function getUser(id: string): Promise<Result<User>> {
  if (!id) return err('INVALID_USER_ID', 'User ID required');
  return ok(user);
}

// ❌ WRONG
async function getUser(id: string): Promise<User> {
  if (!id) throw new Error('User ID required');
  return user;
}

5. Environment Variables

Generated from .env.development via pnpm setup:env (auto-runs after install).

• Mobile (Expo): EXPO_PUBLIC_* prefix
• Web (SvelteKit): PUBLIC_* prefix
• Backend (NestJS): No prefix

Common Commands

pnpm install              # Install dependencies
pnpm dev:{app}:full       # Start app with DB setup
pnpm type-check           # Type check all packages
pnpm format               # Format code
pnpm build                # Build all packages
pnpm docker:up            # Start local infrastructure
pnpm setup:env            # Regenerate .env files
