+#
+# Alignment:
+#   - Line length: 120 characters (matches Black and Ruff in pyproject.toml)
+#   - Django version: 5.2.8

+# Key Features:
+#   - Suppresses false positives for Django ORM patterns (.objects, _meta, .DoesNotExist)
+#   - Whitelists Django management command styling (self.style.SUCCESS, ERROR, etc.)
+#   - Accommodates Django REST Framework patterns
+#   - Allows django-fsm state machine patterns
+#
+# Maintenance:
+#   - Review when upgrading Django or adding new dynamic attribute patterns

+- Exception handlers use `log_exception()` with context
+- FSM transitions use `log_business_event()`
+- Authentication events use `log_security_event()`
+- Never log sensitive data (passwords, tokens, PII)
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Easier debugging with consistent log format
+- Better production monitoring with structured logs
+- Security audit trail for compliance
+- Performance insights from cache and query logs

+
+### Technical Details
+
+This phase focused on documentation-only changes to align all project documentation with the actual Django + HTMX architecture. No code changes were made.
+
+**Key Corrections:**
+- The project uses Django templates with HTMX for interactivity, not a Vue.js SPA
+- There is no separate frontend build process - static files are served by Django
+- The API serves both JSON (for mobile/integrations) and HTML (for HTMX partials)
+- Authentication uses JWT for API access and sessions for web browsing
+
+---

+## Priority Gaps to Address
+
+### High Priority (Functionality Gaps)
+
+1. **`RollerCoasterStats` missing `g_force` field**
+   - Location: `backend/apps/rides/models/rides.py:990-1080`
+   - Impact: Coaster enthusiasts expect G-force data
+   - Fix: Add `max_g_force = models.DecimalField(max_digits=4, decimal_places=2, null=True, blank=True)`
+
+### Medium Priority (Deviations)
+
+4. **Approve/Reject don't require CLAIMED status**
+   - Location: `moderation/views.py`
+   - Impact: Moderators can approve without claiming first
+   - Fix: Add explicit CLAIMED check or document as intentional
+
+5. **Park phone field lacks E.164 validation**
+   - Location: `parks/models/parks.py`
+   - Fix: Add `phonenumbers` library validation
+
+6. **Inconsistent form validation feedback**
+   - Multiple locations
+   - Fix: Standardize to toast + inline hybrid approach
+
+---
+
+## Verification Commands

+# ThrillWiki Implementation Plan
+
+## User Review Required
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> **Measurement Unit System**: The backend will store all values in **Metric**. The Frontend (`useUnits` composable) will handle conversion to Imperial based on user preference.
+> **Sacred Pipeline Enforcement**: All user edits create `Submission` records (stored as JSON). No direct database edits are allowed for non-admin users.
+
+## Proposed Changes
+
+### Backend (Django + DRF)
+
+#### 1. Core & Auth Infrastructure
+- [x] **`apps.core`**: Implement `TrackedModel` using `pghistory` for all core entities to support Edit History and Versioning (Section 15).
+- [x] **`apps.accounts`**:
+    - `User` & `UserProfile` models (Bio, Location, Home Park).
+    - **Settings Support**: Endpoints for changing Email, Password, MFA, and Sessions (Section 9.1-9.2).
+    - **Privacy**: Fields for `public_profile`, `show_location`, etc. (Section 9.3).
+    - **Data Export**: Endpoint to generate JSON dump of all user data (Section 9.6).
+    - **Account Deletion**: `UserDeletionRequest` model with 7-day grace period (Section 9.6).
+
+#### 2. Entity Models & Logic ("Live" Data)
+- [x] **`apps.parks`**: `Park` (with Operator/Owner FKs, Geolocation).
+- [x] **`apps.rides`**: `Ride` (Status FSM), `RideModel`, `Manufacturer`, `Designer`.
+- [x] **`apps.rides` (Credits)**: `RideCredit` Through-Model with `count`, `rating`, `date`, `notes`. Constraint: Unique(user, ride).
+- [x] **`apps.companies`**: `Company` model with types (`Manufacturer`, `Designer`, `Operator`, `Owner`).
+- [x] **`apps.lists`**: `UserList` (Ranking System) and `UserListItem`.
+- [x] **`apps.reviews`**: `Review` model (GenericFK) with Aggregation Logic.
+
+#### 3. The Sacred Pipeline (`apps.moderation`)
+- [x] **Submission Model**: Stores `changes` (JSON), `status` (State Machine), `moderator_note`.
+- [x] **Submission Serializers**: Handle validation of "Proposed Data" vs "Live Data".
+- [x] **Queue Endpoints**: `list_pending`, `claim`, `approve`, `reject`, `activity_log`, `stats`.
+- [x] **Reports**: `Report` model and endpoints.
+
+### Frontend (Nuxt 4)
+
+#### 1. Initial Setup & Core
+- [x] **Composables**: `useUnits` (Metric/Imperial), `useAuth` (MFA, Session), `useApi`.
+- [x] **Layouts**: Standard Layout (Hero, Tabs), Auth Layout.
+
+#### 2. Discovery & Search (Section 1 & 6)
+- [x] **Global Search**: Hero Search with Autocomplete (Parks, Rides, Companies).
+- [x] **Discovery Tabs** (11 Sections):
+    - [x] Trending Parks / Rides
+    - [x] New Parks / Rides
+    - [x] Top Parks / Rides
+    - [x] Opening Soon / Recently Opened
+    - [x] Closing Soon / Recently Closed
+    - [x] Recent Changes Feed

+- [x] Check Theme/CSS configuration.
+
+## Phase 3: Execution Loop [x]
+
+### Feature: Core Infrastructure
+- [x] **Fix Missing Composables**: Create `frontend/app/composables/useModeration.ts` matching `apps.moderation` endpoints.
+- [x] **Roadtrip API**: Create `frontend/app/composables/useRoadtripApi.ts` matching `apps.parks` roadtrip endpoints.

-## 🔧 Common Request/Response Patterns
-
-### Authentication Headers
-```javascript
-headers: {
-  'Authorization': 'Bearer <access_token>',
-  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
-}
-```
-
-### Pagination Response
-```json
-{
-  "count": 100,
-  "next": "http://api.example.com/api/v1/endpoint/?page=2",
-  "previous": null,
-  "results": [...]
-}
-```
-
-### Error Response Format
-```json
-{
-  "error": "Error message",
-  "error_code": "SPECIFIC_ERROR_CODE",
-  "details": {...},
-  "suggestions": ["suggestion1", "suggestion2"]
-}
-```
-
-### Success Response Format
-```json
-{
-  "success": true,
-  "message": "Operation completed successfully",
-  "data": {...}
-}
-```
-
----
-
-## 📝 Key Data Models
-
-### User
-- `id`, `username`, `email`, `display_name`, `date_joined`, `is_active`, `avatar_url`
-
-### Park
-- `id`, `name`, `slug`, `description`, `location`, `operator`, `park_type`, `status`, `opening_year`
-
-### Ride
-- `id`, `name`, `slug`, `park`, `category`, `manufacturer`, `model`, `opening_year`, `status`
-
-### Photo (Park/Ride)
-- `id`, `image`, `caption`, `photo_type`, `uploaded_by`, `is_primary`, `is_approved`, `created_at`
-
-### Review
-- `id`, `user`, `content_object`, `rating`, `title`, `content`, `created_at`, `updated_at`
-
----
-
-## 🚨 Important Notes
-
-1. **Authentication Required**: Most endpoints require JWT authentication
-2. **Permissions**: Admin endpoints require staff/superuser privileges  
-3. **Rate Limiting**: May be implemented on certain endpoints
-4. **File Uploads**: Use `multipart/form-data` for photo uploads
-5. **Pagination**: Most list endpoints support pagination with `page` and `page_size` parameters
-6. **Filtering**: Parks and rides support extensive filtering options
-7. **Cloudflare Images**: Media files are handled through Cloudflare Images service
-8. **Email Verification**: New users must verify email before full access
-
----
-
-## 📖 Usage Examples
-
-### Authentication Flow
-```javascript
-// Login
-const login = await fetch('/api/v1/auth/login/', {
-  method: 'POST',
-  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
-  body: JSON.stringify({ username: 'user@example.com', password: 'password' })
-});
-
-// Use tokens from response
-const { access, refresh } = await login.json();
-```
-
-### Fetch Parks with Filtering
-```javascript
-const parks = await fetch('/api/v1/parks/?continent=NA&min_rating=4.0&page=1', {
-  headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${access_token}` }
-});
-```
-
-### Upload Park Photo
-```javascript
-const formData = new FormData();
-formData.append('image', file);
-formData.append('caption', 'Beautiful park entrance');
-
-const photo = await fetch('/api/v1/parks/123/photos/', {
-  method: 'POST',
-  headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${access_token}` },
-  body: formData
-});
-```

+This document outlines deployment strategies, build processes, and infrastructure considerations for the ThrillWiki Django + HTMX application.
 
-## Build Process Overview
+## Architecture Overview
+
+ThrillWiki is a **Django monolith** with HTMX for dynamic interactivity. There is no separate frontend build process - templates and static assets are served directly by Django.

 ## Monitoring and Logging
 
-### Application Monitoring
+### Health Check Endpoints
+
+| Endpoint | Purpose | Use Case |
+|----------|---------|----------|
+| `/api/v1/health/` | Comprehensive health check | Monitoring dashboards |
+| `/api/v1/health/simple/` | Simple OK/ERROR | Load balancer health checks |
+| `/api/v1/health/performance/` | Performance metrics | Debug mode only |
+
+### Logging Configuration
+
+Production logging uses JSON format for log aggregation:
+
 ```python
-# backend/config/settings/production.py
-import sentry_sdk
-from sentry_sdk.integrations.django import DjangoIntegration
-
-sentry_sdk.init(
-    dsn="your-sentry-dsn",

         },
-    },
-    'root': {
-        'handlers': ['file'],
     },
 }
 ```
 
-### Infrastructure Monitoring
-- Use Prometheus + Grafana for metrics
-- Implement health check endpoints
-- Set up log aggregation (ELK stack or similar)
-- Monitor database performance
-- Track API response times

+
+```python
+# Sentry is configured in config/django/production.py
+# Enable by setting SENTRY_DSN environment variable
+```
 
 ## Security Considerations

 - [ ] Security headers configured (HSTS, CSP, etc.)
 - [ ] Database credentials secured
-- [ ] Secret keys rotated regularly
+- [ ] Redis password configured (if exposed)
 - [ ] CORS properly configured
-- [ ] Rate limiting implemented
+- [ ] Rate limiting enabled
 - [ ] File upload validation
-- [ ] SQL injection protection
+- [ ] SQL injection protection (Django ORM)
 - [ ] XSS protection enabled
 - [ ] CSRF protection active

@@ -590,39 +570,60 @@ aws s3 sync ./shared/media/ s3://your-media-bucket/media/ --delete
 ## Scaling Strategies
 
 ### Horizontal Scaling
-- Load balancer configuration
-- Database read replicas
-- CDN for static assets
-- Redis clustering
-- Auto-scaling groups
+
+- Use load balancer (nginx, AWS ALB, etc.)
+- Database read replicas for read-heavy workloads
+- CDN for static assets (Cloudflare, CloudFront)
+- Redis cluster for session/cache scaling
+- Multiple Gunicorn workers per container
 
 ### Vertical Scaling
-- Database connection pooling
-- Application server optimization
+
+- Database connection pooling (pgBouncer)
+- Query optimization with select_related/prefetch_related
 - Memory usage optimization
-- CPU-intensive task optimization
+- Background task offloading to Celery
 
 ## Troubleshooting Guide
 
 ### Common Issues
-1. **Build failures**: Check dependencies and environment variables
-2. **Database connection errors**: Verify connection strings and firewall rules
-3. **Static file 404s**: Ensure collectstatic runs and paths are correct
-4. **CORS errors**: Check CORS configuration and allowed origins
-5. **Memory issues**: Monitor application memory usage and optimize queries
+
+1. **Static files not loading**
+   - Run `python manage.py collectstatic`
+   - Check nginx static file configuration
+   - Verify WhiteNoise settings
+
+2. **Database connection errors**
+   - Verify DATABASE_URL format
+   - Check firewall rules
+   - Verify PostGIS extension is installed
+
+3. **CORS errors**
+   - Check CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS setting
+   - Verify CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS
+
+4. **Memory issues**
+   - Monitor with `docker stats`
+   - Optimize Gunicorn worker count
+   - Check for query inefficiencies
 
 ### Debug Commands
+
 ```bash
-# Backend debugging
+# Check Django configuration
 cd backend
 uv run manage.py check --deploy
-uv run manage.py shell
+
+# Database shell

 # ThrillWiki Backend
 
-Django REST API backend for the ThrillWiki monorepo.
+Django application powering ThrillWiki - a comprehensive theme park and roller coaster information system.
 
-## 🏗️ Architecture
+## Architecture
 
-This backend follows Django best practices with a modular app structure:
+ThrillWiki is a **Django monolith with HTMX-driven templates**, providing:
+
+- **Server-side rendering** with Django templates
+- **HTMX** for dynamic partial updates without full page reloads
+- **REST API** for programmatic access (mobile apps, integrations)
+- **Alpine.js** for minimal client-side state (form validation, UI toggles)

+
+## HTMX Patterns
+
+ThrillWiki uses HTMX for server-driven interactivity. Key patterns:
+
+### Partial Templates
+
+Views render partial templates for HTMX requests:
+
+```python
+# In views.py
+def park_list(request):
+    parks = Park.objects.optimized_for_list()
+    template = "parks/partials/park_list.html" if request.htmx else "parks/park_list.html"
+    return render(request, template, {"parks": parks})
+```
+
+### HX-Trigger Events
+
+Cross-component communication via custom events:
+
+```html
+<!-- Trigger event after action -->
+<button hx-post="/parks/1/favorite/"
+        hx-trigger="click"
+        hx-swap="none"
+        hx-headers='{"HX-Trigger-After-Settle": "parkFavorited"}'>
+    Favorite
+</button>
+
+<!-- Listen for event -->
+<div hx-get="/parks/favorites/"
+     hx-trigger="parkFavorited from:body">
+    <!-- Updated on event -->
+</div>
+```
+
+### Loading Indicators
+
+Skeleton loaders for better UX:
+
+```html
+<div hx-get="/parks/" hx-trigger="load" hx-indicator="#loading">
+    <div id="loading" class="htmx-indicator">
+        {% include "components/skeleton_loader.html" %}
+    </div>
+</div>
+```
+
+### Field-Level Validation
+
+Real-time form validation:
+
+```html
+<input name="email"
+       hx-post="/validate/email/"
+       hx-trigger="blur changed delay:500ms"
+       hx-target="next .error-message">
+<span class="error-message"></span>
+```
+
+See [HTMX Patterns](../docs/htmx-patterns.md) for complete documentation.
+
+## Hybrid API/HTML Endpoints
+
+Many views serve dual purposes through content negotiation:
+
+```python
+class ParkDetailView(HybridViewMixin, DetailView):
+    """
+    Returns HTML for browser requests, JSON for API requests.
+
+    Browser: GET /parks/cedar-point/ -> HTML template
+    API: GET /api/v1/parks/cedar-point/ -> JSON response
+    """
+    model = Park
+    template_name = "parks/park_detail.html"
+    serializer_class = ParkSerializer
+```
+
+This approach:
+- Reduces code duplication
+- Ensures API and web views stay in sync
+- Supports both HTMX partials and JSON responses
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Settings Architecture
+
+ThrillWiki uses modular settings for maintainability:
+
+```
+config/
+├── django/              # Environment-specific settings
+│   ├── base.py          # Core settings (imports modular settings)

+│   ├── production.py    # Production overrides
+│   └── test.py          # Test overrides
