# AGENTS.md - AI Coding Agent Guidelines

Guidelines for AI agents working in this Bun monorepo.

## Project Overview

> **This project uses [Bun](https://bun.sh) exclusively as both the JavaScript runtime and package manager. Do NOT use Node.js / npm / yarn / pnpm. All commands start with `bun` — use `bun install` for dependencies and `bun run` / `bun <script>` for scripts. Never use `npm`, `npx`, or `node`.**

- **Monorepo**: Bun workspaces + Turborepo orchestration
- **Runtime**: Bun (see `mise.toml` for version) — **NOT Node.js**
- **Package Manager**: Bun — **NOT npm / yarn / pnpm**
- **Apps**:
  - `apps/server` - TanStack Start fullstack web app (see `apps/server/AGENTS.md`)
  - `apps/desktop` - Electrobun desktop shell, loads server in native window (see `apps/desktop/AGENTS.md`)
- **Packages**: `packages/utils`, `packages/tsconfig` (shared configs)

## Build / Lint / Test Commands

### Root Commands (via Turbo)
```bash
bun dev            # Start all apps in dev mode
bun build          # Build all apps
bun fix            # Lint + format (Biome auto-fix)
bun typecheck      # TypeScript check across monorepo
```

### Server App (`apps/server`)
```bash
bun dev                   # Vite dev server (localhost:3000)
bun build                 # Production build -> .output/
bun compile               # Compile to standalone binary
bun fix                   # Biome auto-fix
bun typecheck             # TypeScript check

# Database (Drizzle)
bun db:generate           # Generate migrations from schema
bun db:migrate            # Run migrations
bun db:push               # Push schema (dev only)
bun db:studio             # Open Drizzle Studio
```

### Desktop App (`apps/desktop`)
```bash
bun dev                   # Start Electrobun dev mode (requires server dev running)
bun build                 # Build canary release
bun build:stable          # Build stable release
bun fix                   # Biome auto-fix
bun typecheck             # TypeScript check
```

### Testing
No test framework configured yet. When adding tests:
```bash
bun test path/to/test.ts              # Run single test file
bun test -t "pattern"                 # Run tests matching pattern
```

## Code Style (TypeScript)

### Formatting (Biome)
- **Indent**: 2 spaces | **Line endings**: LF
- **Quotes**: Single `'` | **Semicolons**: Omit (ASI)
- **Arrow parentheses**: Always `(x) => x`

### Imports
Biome auto-organizes. Order: 1) External packages → 2) Internal `@/*` aliases → 3) Type imports (`import type { ... }`)

```typescript
import { createFileRoute } from '@tanstack/react-router'
import { z } from 'zod'
import { db } from '@/server/db'
import type { ReactNode } from 'react'
```

### TypeScript Strictness
- `strict: true`, `noUncheckedIndexedAccess: true`, `noImplicitOverride: true`, `verbatimModuleSyntax: true`
- Use `@/*` path aliases (maps to `src/*`)

### Naming Conventions
| Type | Convention | Example |
|------|------------|---------|
| Files (utils) | kebab-case | `auth-utils.ts` |
| Files (components) | PascalCase | `UserProfile.tsx` |
| Components | PascalCase arrow | `const Button = () => {}` |
| Functions | camelCase | `getUserById` |
| Constants | UPPER_SNAKE | `MAX_RETRIES` |
| Types/Interfaces | PascalCase | `UserProfile` |

### React Patterns
- Components: arrow functions (enforced by Biome)
- Routes: TanStack Router file conventions (`export const Route = createFileRoute(...)`)
- Data fetching: `useSuspenseQuery(orpc.feature.list.queryOptions())`
- Let React Compiler handle memoization (no manual `useMemo`/`useCallback`)

### Error Handling
- Use `try-catch` for async operations; throw descriptive errors
- ORPC: Use `ORPCError` with proper codes (`NOT_FOUND`, `INPUT_VALIDATION_FAILED`)
- Never use empty catch blocks

## Database (Drizzle ORM)

```typescript
export const myTable = pgTable('my_table', {
  id: uuid().primaryKey().default(sql`uuidv7()`),
  name: text().notNull(),
  createdAt: timestamp({ withTimezone: true }).notNull().defaultNow(),
  updatedAt: timestamp({ withTimezone: true }).notNull().defaultNow().$onUpdateFn(() => new Date()),
})
```

## Environment Variables

- Use `@t3-oss/env-core` with Zod validation in `src/env.ts`
- Server vars: no prefix | Client vars: `VITE_` prefix required
- Never commit `.env` files

## Dependency Management

- All versions centralized in root `package.json` `catalog` field
- Workspace packages use `"catalog:"` — never hardcode versions
- Internal packages use `"workspace:*"` references

## Critical Rules

**DO:**
- Run `bun fix` before committing
- Use `@/*` path aliases (not relative imports)
- Include `createdAt`/`updatedAt` on all tables
- Use `catalog:` for dependency versions

**DON'T:**
- Use `npm`, `npx`, `node`, `yarn`, `pnpm` — always use `bun` / `bunx`
- Edit `src/routeTree.gen.ts` (auto-generated)
- Use `as any`, `@ts-ignore`, `@ts-expect-error`
- Commit `.env` files
- Use empty catch blocks `catch(e) {}`
- Hardcode dependency versions in workspace packages

## Git Workflow

1. Make changes following style guide
2. `bun fix` - auto-format and lint
3. `bun typecheck` - verify types
4. `bun dev` - test locally
5. Commit with descriptive message
