Guidance for Claude Code when working in this repo.

Monorepo Overview

pnpm workspace monorepo with two consolidated tops:

• apps/mana/apps/web — unified SvelteKit frontend serving 27+ product modules under mana.how. One build, one IndexedDB, one auth session, one deployment.
• apps/api (@mana/api) — unified Hono/Bun backend API server. Consolidates per-module compute servers; routes registered under /api/v1/{module}/*.

Per-product directories under apps/{product}/ still exist for landing pages and product-specific packages, but the active web frontend and API both live in the two consolidated apps above. The only remaining mobile app is apps/memoro/apps/mobile (Expo SDK 55) — all other per-product mobile apps were removed on 2026-04-20.

• Package Manager: pnpm 9.15.0
• Build System: Turborepo
• Node: 20+
• Primary doc: apps/mana/CLAUDE.md — module structure, data layer, encryption, routing.

Development Quick Start

See docs/LOCAL_DEVELOPMENT.md for the full setup.

pnpm docker:up           # PostgreSQL, Redis, MinIO
pnpm setup:env           # Generate per-app .env files from .env.development
pnpm setup:db            # Create databases + push schemas

# Start the unified Mana app (most common)
pnpm run mana:dev

# Project-specific full stack (auth + backend + web with auto DB setup)
pnpm dev:chat:full
pnpm dev:todo:full
pnpm dev:picture:full
# … one per project

# Service-only
pnpm dev:auth            # mana-auth (3001)
pnpm dev:sync            # mana-sync Go server (3050)

Quality:

pnpm run build
pnpm run type-check
pnpm run format

Key Architecture Notes

These are the patterns that span the repo. Service-/app-specific details live in their own CLAUDE.md.

Local-first data layer

The unified Mana app uses one IndexedDB (mana) with all 120+ collections. Module stores write directly to Dexie tables; hooks in database.ts track changes into _pendingChanges tagged by appId. The unified sync engine (sync.ts) groups by appId and pushes to mana-sync (Go, port 3050), which persists field-level LWW into PostgreSQL with RLS.

Full architecture, sprint history, threat model:

• apps/mana/apps/web/src/lib/data/DATA_LAYER_AUDIT.md
• apps/mana/CLAUDE.md

At-rest encryption

Sensitive user content in 27 tables is AES-GCM-256 encrypted before hitting IndexedDB. Master key lives in mana-auth, KEK-wrapped (MANA_AUTH_KEK env, must be set in prod). Optional zero-knowledge mode via Settings → Sicherheit.

When touching sensitive fields:

1. Add the table to apps/mana/apps/web/src/lib/data/crypto/registry.ts with the field allowlist
2. await encryptRecord(tableName, record) before writes
3. await decryptRecords(tableName, visible) after Dexie reads, before the type converter

Default new user-typed fields to encrypt; default new IDs/timestamps/sort-keys to plaintext.

Authentication

All servers use @mana/shared-hono with authMiddleware(). Tokens are EdDSA JWTs issued by mana-auth with claims {sub, email, role, sid, tier, exp, iss, aud}. Cross-app SSO works across *.mana.how. See .claude/guidelines/authentication.md and services/mana-auth/.

Adding an app to SSO requires updating all three:

1. PRODUCTION_TRUSTED_ORIGINS in services/mana-auth/src/auth/sso-origins.ts (the SSOT — better-auth.config.ts re-exports from here)
2. CORS_ORIGINS for mana-auth in docker-compose.macmini.yml
3. Run bun test src/auth/sso-config.spec.ts from services/mana-auth/ — now hard-fails on drift in either direction

Access tiers

guest < public < beta < alpha < founder. Apps gate themselves via requiredTier in packages/shared-branding/src/mana-apps.ts; the JWT carries a tier claim; AuthGate enforces it client-side. Admin API at PUT /api/v1/admin/users/:id/tier.

Database (PostgreSQL)

Two databases: mana_platform (all services + app server-side data, schema-isolated via pgSchema) and mana_sync (sync engine, write-heavy). Always use pgSchema('name').table(...), never plain pgTable(). Adding a new schema: see .claude/guidelines/database.md.

Object storage

MinIO (Docker, S3-compatible) in both local and prod. Console: http://localhost:9001 (minioadmin/minioadmin). Use @mana/shared-storage helpers. Pre-configured per-project buckets (picture-storage, chat-storage, cards-storage, …).

Turborepo: avoid recursive turbo calls

CRITICAL: Parent workspace packages (e.g. apps/chat/package.json) must NEVER define type-check, build, lint, test, test:coverage, or check scripts that call turbo run <task>. Root turbo already orchestrates those — defining them in children causes infinite recursion (10+ minute hangs, thousands of duplicate tasks). Only dev is OK to delegate to turbo from a parent package, since it's persistent and typically scoped.

Enforced by pnpm run validate:turbo (scripts/validate-no-recursive-turbo.mjs), wired into the CI validate job — a new turbo run build inside a non-root package.json now fails the PR.

Shared Packages (packages/)

Package	Purpose
@mana/shared-auth	Client-side auth for web/mobile
@mana/shared-hono	Hono middleware (auth, health, errors)
@mana/shared-storage	S3/MinIO helpers
@mana/shared-branding	App registry, tiers, branding
@mana/shared-types	Common TS types
@mana/shared-utils	Utility functions
@mana/shared-ui	React Native UI components
@mana/shared-theme	Theme config
@mana/shared-i18n	i18n
@mana/local-store	Local-first store primitives — used by unified Mana, manavoxel, arcade, and shared-uload/-stores/-links
@mana/local-llm	Browser-local LLM inference (transformers.js + Gemma 4 E2B, WebGPU). Powers /llm-test and the playground module. See packages/local-llm/CLAUDE.md for the CSP requirements and the transformers.js v4 gotchas.
@mana/local-stt	Browser-local speech-to-text (transformers.js + Whisper, WebGPU). Powers the QuickInputBar mic button. Same architecture as local-llm. See packages/local-stt/CLAUDE.md.

Adding Dependencies

pnpm add -D <pkg> -w                       # Workspace root (dev tools)
pnpm add <pkg> --filter @mana/web          # A specific app
pnpm add <pkg> --filter @mana/shared-utils # A shared package

Environment Variables

Single source of truth: .env.development (committed). After editing, run pnpm setup:env to regenerate per-app .env files with the right prefixes (EXPO_PUBLIC_* for mobile, PUBLIC_* for SvelteKit, no prefix for Hono/Bun servers). Mapping logic in scripts/generate-env.mjs. Full guide: docs/ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES.md.

Server Access

• Production (Mac Mini): ssh mana-server (Cloudflare Tunnel). See docs/MAC_MINI_SERVER.md. Useful: ./scripts/mac-mini/status.sh, ./scripts/mac-mini/deploy.sh, ./scripts/mac-mini/build-app.sh <app>.
• GPU server (Windows, RTX 3090): ssh mana-gpu (192.168.178.11, LAN only). Hosts STT/TTS/image-gen/video-gen/Ollama. See docs/WINDOWS_GPU_SERVER_SETUP.md.
