+# Authentication Audit - ThrillWiki Django Application
+**Date**: 2025-06-25  
+**Auditor**: Roo  
+**Context**: Following fix of search authentication issues, comprehensive audit to identify other unnecessary authentication requirements
+
+## Audit Scope
+
+### What Should Be PUBLIC (no authentication required):
+- Viewing park details, ride details, lists
+- Searching parks, rides, manufacturers, designers  
+- Browsing content (categories, lists, etc.)
+- Autocomplete functionality for search
+- Reading reviews/ratings
+- Viewing photos and media
+
+### What Should REQUIRE Authentication:
+- Creating/editing parks, rides, content
+- Submitting reviews, photos, content
+- Administrative functions
+- User account management
+- Moderation actions
+
+## Previous Issues Fixed
+- **RideSearchView**: Removed unnecessary `LoginRequiredMixin` 
+- **Search helper functions**: Removed `@login_required` from manufacturers, designers, ride_models functions
+
+## Audit Methodology
+1. Search for all `LoginRequiredMixin` instances
+2. Search for all `@login_required` decorator instances  
+3. Examine each for necessity
+4. Check URL patterns for authentication middleware
+5. Review autocomplete/AJAX endpoints
+6. Test public accessibility
+
+## Findings
+
+### Phase 1: LoginRequiredMixin Search
+Found 20 instances across the codebase:
+
+**CORRECTLY REQUIRING AUTHENTICATION (Create/Edit operations):**
+- `rides/views.py`: RideCreateView, RideUpdateView ✅
+- `parks/views.py`: ParkCreateView, ParkUpdateView ✅
+- `companies/views.py`: CompanyCreateView, ManufacturerCreateView, CompanyUpdateView, ManufacturerUpdateView ✅
+- `location/views.py`: LocationCreateView, LocationUpdateView, LocationDeleteView ✅
+- `accounts/views.py`: SettingsView ✅
+- `moderation/views.py`: DashboardView ✅

+
+### Phase 3: URL Pattern Analysis
+Reviewed `thrillwiki/urls.py`:
+- No authentication middleware blocking public access ✅
+- All URL patterns correctly configured for public browsing ✅
+- Authentication only required for account-specific URLs ✅
+
+### Phase 4: Autocomplete/AJAX Endpoint Review
+- Autocomplete directory referenced in main URLs but doesn't exist (legacy reference)
+- All current autocomplete functionality properly implemented in search app ✅
+- HTMX endpoints in search app are public as required ✅
+
+## Issues Identified
+**NO AUTHENTICATION ISSUES FOUND** ✅
+
+All authentication requirements are correctly implemented:
+1. **Public access** properly maintained for browsing, viewing, and searching
+2. **Authentication required** only for creating, editing, uploading, and administrative functions
+3. **No unnecessary authentication barriers** blocking public content access
+
+## Fixes Applied
+**NONE REQUIRED** - All authentication is correctly configured

+# Authentication Requirements Fix - 2025-06-25
+
+## Problem Identified
+User reported that authentication is required for functionality that shouldn't need it. The issue is that search and read-only operations are requiring authentication when they should be publicly accessible.
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+### Issues Found:
+
+1. **RideSearchView** (rides/views.py:437)
+   - Has `LoginRequiredMixin` which blocks unauthenticated users from searching rides
+   - Search functionality should be publicly accessible
+
+2. **Search Helper Functions** (rides/views.py:318-374)
+   - `search_manufacturers()` - has `@login_required` decorator
+   - `search_designers()` - has `@login_required` decorator  
+   - `search_ride_models()` - has `@login_required` decorator
+   - These are used for autocomplete/search functionality, should be public
+
+3. **Settings Configuration**
+   - `AUTOCOMPLETE_BLOCK_UNAUTHENTICATED = False` is already set correctly
+   - The issue is not with the BaseAutocomplete class but with view-level authentication
+
+## Authentication Philosophy
+
+**Should Require Authentication:**
+- Creating new rides, parks, manufacturers, designers
+- Editing existing content
+- Submitting photos or reviews
+- Administrative functions
+
+**Should NOT Require Authentication:**
+- Searching/browsing rides and parks
+- Viewing ride details
+- Using autocomplete for search
+- Reading public content
+
+## Solution Plan
+
+1. Remove `LoginRequiredMixin` from `RideSearchView`
+2. Remove `@login_required` decorators from search helper functions
+3. Ensure create/edit views still require authentication (they do)
+4. Update tests to reflect new public access
+5. Document the authentication boundaries clearly
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+- The `RideCreateView` and `RideUpdateView` correctly use `LoginRequiredMixin`
+- The `BaseAutocomplete` class already supports public access via settings
+- Search functionality should be fast and accessible to encourage engagement
+
+## Changes Made
+
+1. **RideSearchView** (rides/views.py:437)
+   - ✅ Removed `LoginRequiredMixin` from class definition
+   - Now allows unauthenticated users to search rides
+
+2. **Search Helper Functions** (rides/views.py:318-374)
+   - ✅ Removed `@login_required` decorator from `search_manufacturers()`
+   - ✅ Removed `@login_required` decorator from `search_designers()`
+   - ✅ Removed `@login_required` decorator from `search_ride_models()`
+   - These functions now support public autocomplete functionality
+
+3. **Import Cleanup**
+   - ✅ Removed unused `login_required` import from rides/views.py
+
+4. **Test Fixes**
+   - ✅ Fixed test method calls to include required `context` parameter
+   - ✅ Fixed autocomplete result limiting in `get_search_results()` method
+   - ✅ All 7 autocomplete tests now passing
+
+## Verification
+
+- ✅ All search functionality tests pass
+- ✅ Authentication still required for create/edit operations
+- ✅ Public search access now working as intended
+- ✅ Server reloads successfully with no errors
+
+## Result
+
+Authentication is now properly scoped:
+- **Public Access**: Search, browse, view content, autocomplete
+- **Authentication Required**: Create, edit, submit content, administrative functions
+
+This provides a better user experience while maintaining security for content modification.

+# Django HTMX Autocomplete Fix - 2025-06-25
+
+## Problem Summary
+
+The RideAutocomplete implementation was failing with `AttributeError: type object 'RideAutocomplete' has no attribute 'as_view'` when trying to start the Django development server.
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+1. **Missing Package**: The `django-htmx-autocomplete` package was not installed
+2. **Incorrect URL Pattern**: The autocomplete URLs were not properly configured according to the library's requirements
+3. **Wrong Base Class**: RideAutocomplete was inheriting from a custom BaseAutocomplete instead of the library's ModelAutocomplete
+4. **Missing Registration**: The autocomplete class was not registered with the @autocomplete.register decorator
+
+## Solutions Implemented
+
+### 1. Package Installation
+```bash
+uv add django-htmx-autocomplete
+```
+
+### 2. URL Configuration Fix
+**File**: `thrillwiki/urls.py`
+- Added autocomplete URLs at project level: `path("ac/", autocomplete_urls)`
+- Imported: `from autocomplete import urls as autocomplete_urls`
+
+### 3. RideAutocomplete Class Fix
+**File**: `search/mixins.py`
+- Changed inheritance from `BaseAutocomplete` to `autocomplete.ModelAutocomplete`
+- Added `@autocomplete.register` decorator
+- Updated `get_search_results()` method signature to include `context` parameter
+- Added `max_results = 10` class attribute
+- Removed manual slicing from queryset (handled by max_results)
+
+### 4. Search URLs Fix
+**File**: `search/urls.py`
+- Removed the problematic autocomplete URL (now handled by main autocomplete package)
+- Fixed import for RideSearchView: `from rides.views import RideSearchView`
+
+## Key Technical Details
+
+### Django HTMX Autocomplete Pattern
+The library requires:
+1. Installation and addition to INSTALLED_APPS (already done)
+2. URL inclusion at project level: `path("ac/", autocomplete_urls)`
+3. Autocomplete classes must inherit from `autocomplete.ModelAutocomplete`
+4. Classes must be decorated with `@autocomplete.register`
+5. Method signature: `get_search_results(self, search, context)`
+
+### Working Implementation
+```python
+@autocomplete.register
+class RideAutocomplete(autocomplete.ModelAutocomplete):
+    model = Ride
+    search_attrs = ['name']
+    max_results = 10
+    
+    def get_search_results(self, search, context):
+        return (Ride.objects
+                .filter(name__icontains=search)
+                .select_related('park')
+                .order_by('name'))
+    
+    def format_result(self, ride):
+        return {
+            'key': str(ride.pk),
+            'label': ride.name,
+            'extra': f"at {ride.park.name}"
+        }
+```
+
+## Status
+
+✅ **RESOLVED**: The RideAutocomplete.as_view() error has been fixed
+✅ **READY**: Server should now start without autocomplete-related errors
+⏳ **NEXT**: Manual HTMX integration testing can proceed
+
+## Dependencies Added
+
+- `django-htmx-autocomplete` - Provides HTMX-powered autocomplete functionality
+
+## Files Modified
+
+1. `thrillwiki/urls.py` - Added autocomplete URL configuration
+2. `search/mixins.py` - Fixed RideAutocomplete class implementation
+3. `search/urls.py` - Removed conflicting URL and fixed imports
+4. `memory-bank/activeContext.md` - Updated task status
+
+## Testing Notes
+
+The unit tests (7/7 passing) validate the core functionality. Manual browser testing is now unblocked and should be performed to verify HTMX integration works correctly.

+# History Tracking Migration
+
+## Context
+The project is transitioning from django-simple-history to django-pghistory for model history tracking.
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Base Implementation (history_tracking/models.py)
+- Both old and new implementations maintained during transition:
+  - `HistoricalModel` - Legacy base class using django-simple-history
+  - `TrackedModel` - New base class using django-pghistory
+- Custom `DiffMixin` for comparing historical records
+- Maintained `HistoricalSlug` for backward compatibility
+
+### Transition Strategy
+1. Maintain Backward Compatibility
+   - Keep both HistoricalModel and TrackedModel during transition
+   - Update models one at a time to use TrackedModel
+   - Ensure no breaking changes during migration
+
+2. Model Updates
+   - Designer (Completed)
+     - Migrated to TrackedModel
+     - Updated get_by_slug to use pghistory queries
+     - Removed SimpleHistoryAdmin dependency
+   
+   - Pending Model Updates
+     - Companies (Company, Manufacturer)
+     - Parks (Park, ParkArea)
+     - Rides (Ride, RollerCoasterStats)
+     - Location models
+
+### Migration Process
+1. For Each Model:
+   - Switch base class from HistoricalModel to TrackedModel
+   - Update admin.py to remove SimpleHistoryAdmin
+   - Create and apply migrations
+   - Test history tracking functionality
+   - Update any history-related queries
+
+2. Testing Steps
+   - Create test objects
+   - Make changes
+   - Verify history records
+   - Check diff functionality
+   - Validate historical slug lookup
+
+3. Admin Integration
+   - Remove SimpleHistoryAdmin
+   - Use standard ModelAdmin
+   - Keep existing list displays and search fields
+
+## Benefits
+- Native PostgreSQL trigger-based tracking
+- More efficient storage and querying
+- Better performance characteristics
+- Context tracking capabilities
+
+## Rollback Plan
+Since both implementations are maintained:
+1. Revert model inheritance to HistoricalModel
+2. Restore SimpleHistoryAdmin
+3. Keep existing migrations
+
+## Next Steps
+1. Create migrations for Designer model
+2. Update remaining models in this order:
+   a. Companies app
+   b. Parks app
+   c. Rides app
+   d. Location app
+3. Test historical functionality
+4. Once all models are migrated:
+   - Remove HistoricalModel class
+   - Remove django-simple-history dependency
+   - Update documentation
+
+## Technical Notes
+- Uses pghistory's default tracking configuration
+- Maintains compatibility with existing code patterns
+- Custom diff functionality preserved
+- Historical slug tracking unchanged
+- Both tracking systems can coexist during migration
+
+## Completion Criteria
+1. All models migrated to TrackedModel
+2. All functionality tested and working
+3. No dependencies on django-simple-history
+4. Documentation updated to reflect new implementation
+5. All migrations applied successfully

+- Deleted conflicting 0002_cleanup_invalid_designers.py
+
+## Updated Resolution Steps
+1. Created conflict-free migration 0012
+2. Verified migration dependencies:
+   ```python
+   dependencies = [
+       ('rides', '0011_merge_20250209_1143'),
+       ('designers', '0001_initial'),
+   ]
+   ```
+3. New migration command:
+   ```bash
+   python manage.py migrate rides 0012_cleanup_invalid_designers
+   ```
+
+## PGHistory Migration Fix - 2025-02-09
+Foreign key constraint violation during pghistory migration:
+1. Issue: `rides_ride_designer_id_172b997d_fk_designers_designer_id` constraint violation during 0010_rideevent migration
+2. Resolution:
+   - Created new cleanup migration (0009_cleanup_invalid_designers_pre_events.py) to run before event table creation
+   - Updated migration dependencies to ensure proper sequencing:
+     ```python
+     # 0009_cleanup_invalid_designers_pre_events.py
+     dependencies = [
+         ('rides', '0008_historicalride_post_closing_status_and_more'),
+         ('designers', '0001_initial'),
+     ]
+     ```
+   - Created merge migration (0013_merge_20250209_1214.py) to resolve multiple leaf nodes
+3. Final Migration Sequence:
+   - Base migrations up to 0008
+   - Cleanup migration (0009_cleanup_invalid_designers_pre_events)
+   - Event table creation (0010_rideevent_ridemodelevent_and_more)
+   - Merge migrations (0011, 0012, 0013)

+# Park Count Fields Implementation
+
+## Context
+While implementing park views, we encountered errors where `ride_count` and `coaster_count` annotations conflicted with existing model fields of the same names. Additionally, we discovered inconsistencies in how these counts were being used across different views.
+
+## Decision
+We decided to use both approaches but with distinct names:
+
+1. **Model Fields**: 
+   - `ride_count`: Stored count of all rides
+   - `coaster_count`: Stored count of roller coasters
+   - Used in models and database schema
+   - Required for backward compatibility
+
+2. **Annotations**:
+   - `current_ride_count`: Real-time count of all rides
+   - `current_coaster_count`: Real-time count of roller coasters
+   - Provide accurate, up-to-date counts
+   - Used in templates and filters
+
+This approach allows us to:
+- Maintain existing database schema
+- Show accurate, real-time counts in the UI
+- Avoid name conflicts between fields and annotations
+- Keep consistent naming pattern for both types of counts
+
+## Implementation
+1. Views:
+   - Added base queryset method with annotations
+   - Used 'current_' prefix for annotated counts
+   - Ensured all views use the base queryset
+
+2. Filters:
+   - Updated filter fields to use annotated counts
+   - Configured filter class to always use base queryset
+   - Maintained filter functionality with new field names
+
+3. Templates:
+   - Updated templates to use computed counts
+
+## Why This Pattern
+1. **Consistency**: Using the 'current_' prefix clearly indicates which values are computed in real-time
+2. **Compatibility**: Maintains support for existing code that relies on the stored fields
+3. **Flexibility**: Allows gradual migration from stored to computed counts if desired
+4. **Performance Option**: Keeps the option to use stored counts for expensive queries
+
+## Future Considerations
+We might want to:
+1. Add periodic tasks to sync stored counts with computed values
+2. Consider deprecating stored fields if they're not needed for performance
+3. Add validation to ensure stored counts stay in sync with reality
+4. Create a management command to update stored counts

+## Decision: Universal Model History via django-pghistory
+
+### Pattern Implementation
+- **Tracking Method**: `pghistory.Snapshot()` applied to all concrete models
+- **Inheritance Strategy**: Base model class with history tracking
+- **Context Capture**:
+  ```python
+  # core/models.py
+  import pghistory
+  
+  class HistoricalModel(models.Model):
+      class Meta:
+          abstract = True
+
+      @pghistory.track(pghistory.Snapshot())
+      def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
+          return super().save(*args, **kwargs)
+  ```
+
+### Integration Scope
+1. **Model Layer**:
+   - All concrete models inherit from `HistoricalModel`
+   - Automatic event labeling:
+     ```python
+     @pghistory.track(
+         pghistory.Snapshot('model.create'),
+         pghistory.AfterInsert('model.update'),
+         pghistory.BeforeDelete('model.delete')
+     )
+     ```
+
+2. **Context Middleware**:
+   ```python
+   # core/middleware.py
+   pghistory.context(lambda request: {
+       'user': str(request.user) if request.user.is_authenticated else None,
+       'ip': request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR'),
+       'user_agent': request.META.get('HTTP_USER_AGENT'),
+       'session_key': request.session.session_key
+   })
+   ```
+
+3. **Admin Integration**:
+   - Custom history view for Django Admin
+   - Version comparison interface

+# Ride Search Architecture Decision
+
+**Date**: 2025-06-24  
+**Status**: Planned  
+**Context**: Extending search functionality from parks to rides
+
+## Decision
+
+Implement ride search functionality following the established BaseAutocomplete pattern with these key architectural decisions:
+
+### 1. Pattern Consistency
+- **Extend BaseAutocomplete**: Use same authentication-first approach as park search
+- **Mirror Structure**: RideAutocomplete + RideSearchForm following ParkAutocomplete pattern
+- **HTMX Integration**: Same frontend interaction patterns for consistency
+
+### 2. Relationship Handling
+- **Park Context**: Rides belong to parks via ForeignKey, search results must show both
+- **Query Optimization**: Use `select_related('park')` for efficient database queries
+- **Result Display**: Show "Ride Name - Park Name" format in autocomplete results
+
+### 3. Database Strategy
+- **Indexes**: Add database indexes on `Ride.name` and `Ride.park_id`
+- **Query Limits**: Limit autocomplete to 10 results for performance
+- **Filtering**: Support filtering by park, thrill level, duration
+
+### 4. Frontend Architecture
+- **Component Reuse**: Leverage existing search CSS and JavaScript patterns
+- **HTMX Endpoints**: `/search/rides/autocomplete/` and `/search/rides/results/`
+- **AlpineJS State**: Manage selection state and form interactions
+
+### 5. Testing Strategy
+- **Unit Tests**: RideAutocomplete, RideSearchForm, and filter logic
+- **Integration Tests**: HTMX responses and authentication requirements
+- **Performance Tests**: Large dataset handling and query optimization
+
+## Rationale
+
+This approach ensures:
+- **Consistency**: Users get familiar interaction patterns
+- **Performance**: Optimized queries and result limiting
+- **Maintainability**: Follows established codebase patterns
+- **Scalability**: Database indexes and query optimization
+
+## Implementation Files
+
+### Core Components
+- `search/mixins.py` - RideAutocomplete class
+- `search/forms.py` - RideSearchForm class  
+- `search/urls.py` - URL routing for ride endpoints
+- `rides/views.py` - RideSearchView with authentication
+
+### Templates
+- `search/templates/search/partials/_ride_search.html` - Search form
+- `rides/templates/rides/partials/ride_results.html` - Results display
+
+### Tests
+- `search/tests/test_autocomplete.py` - RideAutocomplete tests
+- `search/tests/test_forms.py` - RideSearchForm tests
+- `rides/tests/test_search_view.py` - View and integration tests
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Code mode implementation of core components
+2. Database migration for indexes
+3. Template creation and HTMX integration
+4. Comprehensive test suite
+5. Performance validation
+
+## Dependencies
+

+# Ride Search Implementation Summary
+
+**Date:** 2025-06-24  
+**Status:** Core Implementation Complete  
+**Next:** Testing & Integration  
+
+## Implementation Overview
+
+Successfully implemented ride search functionality following the documented architecture specification. The implementation extends the existing park search infrastructure with ride-specific components.
+
+## Components Implemented
+
+### 1. RideAutocomplete Class (`search/mixins.py`)
+- **Location:** Added to existing `search/mixins.py` file
+- **Extends:** `BaseAutocomplete` from `core/forms.py`
+- **Features:**
+  - Name-based search with partial matching (`name__icontains`)
+  - Includes park name in results for context
+  - Prefetches related park data with `select_related('park')`
+  - Limited to 10 results for performance
+  - Formats results as "Ride Name - at Park Name"
+- **Authentication:** Inherits authentication requirement from BaseAutocomplete
+
+### 2. RideSearchForm Class (`search/forms.py`)
+- **Location:** New file created
+- **Pattern:** Follows `ParkSearchForm` pattern from `parks/forms.py`
+- **Features:**
+  - Uses `AutocompleteWidget` with `RideAutocomplete` class
+  - Consistent styling with existing forms
+  - Placeholder text: "Search rides..."
+
+### 3. URL Configuration (`search/urls.py`)
+- **Added Routes:**
+  - `rides/autocomplete/` → `RideAutocomplete.as_view()` (name: `ride_autocomplete`)
+  - `rides/results/` → `RideSearchView.as_view()` (name: `ride_search_results`)
+- **Pattern:** Follows existing search URL structure
+
+### 4. RideSearchView Class (`rides/views.py`)
+- **Location:** Added to existing `rides/views.py` file
+- **Extends:** `LoginRequiredMixin`, `ListView`
+- **Features:**
+  - Authentication required
+  - HTMX support with different templates
+  - Processes `RideSearchForm` data
+  - Supports both specific ride selection and search term filtering
+  - Pagination (20 items per page)
+  - Optimized queryset with `select_related('park')`
+
+### 5. Template Components
+
+#### Ride Search Results (`search/templates/search/partials/ride_search_results.html`)
+- **Features:**
+  - Responsive card layout
+  - Shows ride name, park name, description
+  - Category and status badges with color coding
+  - Photo thumbnails when available
+  - Links to ride detail pages
+  - Empty state with helpful message
+  - Dark mode support
+
+### 6. Test Suite (`search/tests/test_ride_autocomplete.py`)
+- **Test Coverage:**
+  - Authentication requirements
+  - Search result filtering and case insensitivity
+  - Result formatting
+  - Performance limits (10 result max)
+  - Related data prefetching
+- **Test Infrastructure:**
+  - Uses correct custom User model (`get_user_model()`)
+  - Creates test data (Company, Park, Rides)
+  - Proper test isolation
+
+## Technical Decisions
+
+### Authentication Strategy
+- **Decision:** Inherit authentication from `BaseAutocomplete`
+- **Rationale:** Maintains consistency with existing park search
+- **Implementation:** Uses `BaseAutocomplete.auth_check()` method
+
+### Result Formatting
+- **Decision:** Format as "Ride Name - at Park Name"
+- **Rationale:** Provides context without cluttering the interface
+- **Implementation:** Uses `extra` field in autocomplete results
+
+### Performance Optimization
+- **Decision:** Limit autocomplete to 10 results with `select_related('park')`
+- **Rationale:** Balances responsiveness with useful results
+- **Implementation:** Slice queryset `[:10]` and prefetch park data
+
+### Template Structure
+- **Decision:** Follow existing HTMX partial pattern
+- **Rationale:** Maintains consistency with park search templates
+- **Implementation:** Separate partials for different response types
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### With Existing Park Search
+- **Shared Infrastructure:** Uses same `BaseAutocomplete` and styling patterns
+- **URL Structure:** Follows `/search/rides/` pattern parallel to `/search/parks/`
+- **Template Patterns:** Reuses established HTMX and styling conventions
+
+### With Ride Models
+- **Model Relationship:** Uses `Ride.park` ForeignKey for context
+- **Queryset Optimization:** Leverages `select_related()` for efficient queries
+- **Status Display:** Uses model's `get_status_display()` and `get_category_display()`
+
+## Current Status
+
+### ✅ Completed
+1. **Core Components:** All classes and forms implemented
+2. **URL Routing:** Endpoints configured and accessible
+3. **Templates:** Results template with full styling
+4. **Basic Testing:** Unit tests for autocomplete functionality

+# Ride Search Template Creation - 2025-06-25
+
+## Context
+Created the missing ride search form template that was identified as a remaining task in the active context. The RideSearchView was expecting a template at `search/templates/search/ride_search.html` for non-HTMX requests.
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Template Created: `search/templates/search/ride_search.html`
+
+**Key Features:**
+- Full page template extending `base/base.html`
+- HTMX integration with proper attributes:
+  - `hx-get` pointing to ride search URL
+  - `hx-target` for results container
+  - `hx-trigger` with 300ms delay for responsive search
+  - `hx-indicator` for loading state
+- Responsive design with Tailwind CSS classes
+- Search form using the `RideSearchForm` from context
+- Results container that includes the existing `ride_search_results.html` partial
+- JavaScript enhancement for clearing results when input is empty
+- Loading indicator with spinner animation
+
+**Template Structure:**
+1. **Header Section**: Title and description
+2. **Search Form**: 
+   - Form with HTMX attributes
+   - Autocomplete input field with proper styling
+   - Submit button with search icon
+   - Loading indicator
+3. **Results Section**: Container for HTMX-loaded results
+4. **JavaScript Enhancement**: Clear results on empty input
+
+## Integration Points
+
+**With RideSearchView:**
+- Template name matches view's `get_template_names()` expectation
+- Uses `search_form` from view context
+- HTMX requests target the same view for partial updates
+
+**With Existing Components:**
+- Includes `search/partials/ride_search_results.html` for results display
+- Follows same styling patterns as other search templates
+- Uses established HTMX patterns from park search
+
+## Technical Decisions
+
+**HTMX Configuration:**
+- 300ms delay prevents excessive API calls during typing
+- Targets specific container for seamless updates
+- Includes loading indicator for better UX
+
+**Styling Approach:**
+- Consistent with existing ThrillWiki design system
+- Dark mode support with proper color classes
+- Responsive layout with proper spacing
+
+**JavaScript Enhancement:**
+- Minimal JavaScript for clearing results
+- Enhances UX without breaking core functionality
+- Follows progressive enhancement principles
+
+## Testing Status

+# Ride Search Testing and Validation Report
+
+**Date:** 2025-06-25  
+**Status:** Testing in Progress - Issues Found  
+**Task:** Comprehensive testing and validation of ride search functionality  
+
+## Testing Progress
+
+### ✅ Unit Tests - PASSED
+- **Command:** `uv run manage.py test search.tests.test_ride_autocomplete`
+- **Result:** All 7 tests passing
+- **Fixed Issues:**
+  - Authentication test was failing because `AUTOCOMPLETE_BLOCK_UNAUTHENTICATED = False` in settings
+  - Fixed by adding `@override_settings(AUTOCOMPLETE_BLOCK_UNAUTHENTICATED=True)` decorator
+  - Changed `request.user = None` to `request.user = AnonymousUser()` for proper Django user handling
+
+### ❌ Integration Testing - ISSUES FOUND
+
+#### Issue 1: URL Configuration Missing
+- **Problem:** Main `thrillwiki/urls.py` had `path("search/", SearchView.as_view(), name="search")` instead of including search app URLs
+- **Fix Applied:** Changed to `path("search/", include("search.urls", namespace="search"))`
+- **Status:** Fixed
+
+#### Issue 2: Import Error in search/views.py
+- **Problem:** `from .filters import ParkFilter` - ParkFilter doesn't exist in search.filters
+- **Fix Applied:** Changed to `from parks.filters import ParkFilter`
+- **Status:** Fixed
+
+#### Issue 3: RideAutocomplete Missing as_view Method
+- **Problem:** `AttributeError: type object 'RideAutocomplete' has no attribute 'as_view'`
+- **Root Cause:** `BaseAutocomplete` inherits from `autocomplete.Autocomplete` (django-htmx-autocomplete package)
+- **Status:** INVESTIGATING - May need package installation or import fix
+
+## Current Server Status
+- Development server fails to start due to RideAutocomplete.as_view() error
+- Need to resolve autocomplete package integration
+
+## Test Coverage Analysis
+
+### Unit Test Results (7/7 passing):
+1. ✅ `test_autocomplete_requires_authentication` - Authentication enforced when enabled
+2. ✅ `test_autocomplete_allows_authenticated_users` - Authenticated users can access
+3. ✅ `test_search_filters_by_name` - Name-based search filtering works
+4. ✅ `test_search_case_insensitive` - Case-insensitive search works
+5. ✅ `test_result_formatting` - Results formatted as "Ride Name - at Park Name"
+6. ✅ `test_result_limit` - Limited to 10 results for performance
+7. ✅ `test_select_related_optimization` - Database queries optimized with select_related
+
+### Performance Validation
+- ✅ Result limit (10 items) implemented
+- ✅ Database optimization with `select_related('park')` confirmed
+- ✅ Authentication configuration flexible via settings
+
+### Architecture Compliance
+- ✅ Follows BaseAutocomplete pattern
+- ✅ Consistent with existing park search implementation
+- ✅ HTMX integration prepared (pending server fix)
+- ✅ Template structure follows project conventions
+
+## Issues to Resolve
+
+### High Priority
+1. **RideAutocomplete.as_view() Error**
+   - Investigate django-htmx-autocomplete package installation
+   - Verify BaseAutocomplete inheritance chain
+   - Ensure proper view class structure
+
+### Medium Priority
+2. **Manual Browser Testing**
+   - Cannot proceed until server starts successfully
+   - Need to test autocomplete UI functionality
+   - Validate HTMX responses
+
+3. **Form Template Creation**
+   - Need to create ride search form partial template
+   - Integration with existing search interface
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Fix RideAutocomplete.as_view() issue
+2. Start development server successfully
+3. Test autocomplete endpoints with curl/browser
+4. Validate HTMX integration
+5. Create comprehensive validation report
+
+## Technical Decisions Made
+
+### Authentication Strategy
+- **Decision:** Use `@override_settings` in tests to validate authentication behavior
+- **Rationale:** Project has `AUTOCOMPLETE_BLOCK_UNAUTHENTICATED = False` for public access, but tests should validate security capability
+- **Implementation:** Tests can verify both public and authenticated-only modes
+
+### URL Structure
+- **Decision:** Include search app URLs via `include("search.urls", namespace="search")`
+- **Rationale:** Allows proper URL routing for autocomplete and search endpoints
+- **Pattern:** `/search/rides/autocomplete/` and `/search/rides/results/`
+
+## Files Modified During Testing
+
+### Fixed Files
+- `search/tests/test_ride_autocomplete.py` - Added AnonymousUser import and @override_settings
+- `thrillwiki/urls.py` - Fixed search URL inclusion
+- `search/views.py` - Fixed ParkFilter import path
+
+### Files Requiring Investigation
+- `search/mixins.py` - RideAutocomplete class (inheritance issue)
+- `core/forms.py` - BaseAutocomplete class (django-htmx-autocomplete dependency)
+
+## Validation Criteria Status
+
+- ✅ All unit tests pass
+- ❌ HTMX endpoints accessible (blocked by server issue)
+- ✅ Authentication requirements work
+- ❌ Search results display correctly (pending server fix)
+- ✅ Performance meets specifications
+- ❌ Manual browser testing (pending server fix)
+
+**Overall Status:** 60% Complete - Core functionality validated, integration testing blocked by server startup issue.

+# Ride Count Field Implementation
+
+## Context
+While implementing park views, we encountered an error where a `ride_count` annotation conflicted with an existing model field of the same name. This raised a question about how to handle real-time ride counts versus stored counts.
+
+## Decision
+We decided to use both approaches but with distinct names:
+
+1. **Model Field (`ride_count`)**: 
+   - Kept the original field for backward compatibility
+   - Used in test fixtures and filtering system
+   - Can serve as a cached/denormalized value
+
+2. **Annotation (`current_ride_count`)**:
+   - Added new annotation with a distinct name
+   - Provides real-time count of rides
+   - Used in templates for display purposes
+
+This approach allows us to:
+- Maintain existing functionality in tests and filters
+- Show accurate, real-time counts in the UI
+- Avoid name conflicts between fields and annotations
+
+## Implementation
+- Kept the `ride_count` IntegerField in the Park model
+- Added `current_ride_count = Count('rides', distinct=True)` annotation in views
+- Updated templates to use `current_ride_count` for display
+
+## Future Considerations
+We might want to:
+1. Add a periodic task to sync the stored `ride_count` with the computed value
+2. Consider deprecating the stored field if it's not needed for performance
+3. Add validation to ensure the stored count stays in sync with reality

+# Search Form Fix
+
+## Issue
+Search results were being duplicated because selecting a suggestion triggered both:
+1. The suggestions form submission (to /suggest_parks/)
+2. The filter form submission (to /park_list/)
+
+## Root Cause
+The `@search-selected` event handler was submitting the wrong form. It was submitting the suggestions form which has `hx-target="#search-results"` instead of the filter form which has `hx-target="#park-results"`.
+
+## Solution
+Update the event handler to submit the filter form instead of the search form. This ensures only one request is made to update the results.
+
+## Implementation
+1. Modified the `@search-selected` handler to:
+   - Set the search query in filter form
+   - Submit filter form to update results
+   - Hide suggestions dropdown
+2. Added proper form IDs and refs
+
+## Benefits
+- Eliminates duplicate requests
+- Maintains correct search behavior
+- Improves user experience

+# Test Fixes Required - 2024-02-22
+
+## Issues Identified
+
+### 1. ParkArea Unique Constraint Test (IntegrityError)
+- **Problem**: Test expects ValidationError but gets IntegrityError
+- **Root Cause**: Database constraint violation instead of model validation
+- **Fix**: Update test to expect IntegrityError or add model validation
+
+### 2. Numeric Filtering Test (min_rides filter)
+- **Problem**: Filter not working correctly for min_rides=18
+- **Root Cause**: Likely issue with ride count calculation or filter logic
+- **Fix**: Check ParkFilter implementation and ride count logic
+
+### 3. Historical Slug Lookup Test (is_historical flag)
+- **Problem**: is_historical returning False instead of True for old slug
+- **Root Cause**: get_by_slug method not correctly identifying historical slugs
+- **Fix**: Review ParkArea.get_by_slug implementation
+
+## Priority Order
+1. Fix unique constraint test (quick fix)
+2. Fix historical slug lookup (core functionality)
+3. Fix numeric filtering (search feature)
+
+## Next Steps
+- Fix tests one by one
+- Run test suite after each fix
+- Document any model changes needed
