### ⏳ TODO - PHASE 4: Documentation & Deployment (Week 4)
- [ ] Complete Context7 documentation
- [ ] Self-hosted deployment setup
- [ ] Testing and quality assurance
- [ ] Production optimization

## 🎯 IMMEDIATE NEXT STEPS
1. **CRITICAL: Debug 503 errors:** Investigate why Nuxt development server returns 503 errors
2. **Possible solutions to try:**
   - Restart Nuxt development server
   - Clear Nuxt cache (.nuxt directory)
   - Check for port conflicts
   - Verify Nuxt configuration
   - Try different port for development server
3. **Once 503 errors resolved:**
   - Test Django backend integration and JWT flow
   - Re-enable authentication initialization
   - Restore full homepage content
   - Add authentication middleware for route protection
4. **Continue Phase 1 completion:**
   - Create park/ride detail pages (/parks/[slug], /rides/[slug])
   - Test all navigation and basic functionality

## 🔧 Technical Decisions Made
- **Framework:** Nuxt 3 with TypeScript
- **Location:** frontend/ directory (separate from Django backend)
- **Documentation:** Context7 integration for knowledge management
- **Authentication:** JWT with refresh tokens (requires Django backend enhancement)
- **Design:** Fresh, modern design with existing component library
- **Deployment:** Self-hosted with Docker
- **Features:** Submission system, moderation tools, responsive design

## 🚨 Blockers & Dependencies
- **CRITICAL BLOCKER:** Nuxt development server experiencing 503 Service Unavailable errors
- **INVESTIGATION NEEDED:** 503 errors occur even with minimal page content and disabled authentication
- **STATUS:** Django backend is healthy and responding correctly
- **STATUS:** Nuxt server starts successfully but pages fail to load with 503 errors
- **NEXT STEPS:** Need to investigate Nuxt configuration or restart development environment

## 📋 Key Requirements Recap
1. Use Context7 for documentation/knowledge management
2. Implement in frontend/ directory
3. Use existing reusable component library
4. JWT authentication with refresh tokens
5. Self-hosted deployment
6. Submission and moderation system
7. Completely responsive design
