# decisions

timestamp: 2025-08-24 18:15:28.151443
summary: API Consolidation Under Single Namespace
tags: ["api", "architecture", "consolidation", "schema-generation", "drf", "spectacular"]
rationale:
  Consolidated all scattered API endpoints from individual apps into a unified structure under apps/api/v1/ to improve maintainability, fix schema generation errors, and create a consistent API architecture. This addresses the original spectacular schema generation errors while establishing a clean foundation for future API development.

implementation_details:
  Migrated authentication endpoints (login, signup, logout, password reset/change), parks and rides CRUD operations, and health check endpoints from their respective app directories into apps/api/v1/. Added comprehensive serializers with proper type hints and @extend_schema_field decorators. Implemented fallback classes for optional dependencies. Updated URL routing to use consolidated structure. Removed legacy API URL patterns.


timestamp: 2025-08-24 21:15:30.009958
summary: Fixed auth providers endpoint by correcting provider class instantiation
tags: ["django-allauth", "social-auth", "api-endpoint", "bug-fix", "provider-instantiation"]
rationale:
  The SocialProvidersAPIView was returning empty results because provider classes were being instantiated without the required 'app' parameter. Provider classes in Django Allauth require both request and app parameters for proper instantiation.

implementation_details:
  Changed provider class instantiation from 'provider_class(request)' to 'provider_class(request, app=social_app)' in the try block at line ~2010 of backend/apps/api/v1/viewsets.py. This allows the provider classes to generate correct authentication URLs and provider metadata.


timestamp: 2025-08-24 21:26:58.690654
summary: Authentication System Performance Optimization - Complete Refactor
tags: ["authentication", "performance", "django", "database-optimization", "caching"]
rationale:
  Fixed critical authentication performance issues identified in Django debug logs. The original system had redundant database queries, missing URL mappings, transaction management errors, and unnecessary eager loading that caused 404s and excessive database load.

implementation_details:
  1. LoginAPIView: Replaced multiple user lookups with single Q-object query using both email and username filters. Fixed transaction management error with select_for_update(). 2. SocialProvidersAPIView: Implemented 15-minute caching strategy, removed unnecessary prefetch_related('sites'), simplified provider name resolution. 3. Frontend URLs: Confirmed Vite proxy correctly rewrites /api to /api/v1, so frontend URLs were correct. 4. All endpoints now working at /api/v1/auth/ with proper optimization.


timestamp: 2025-08-24 21:28:47.714836
summary: Added Frontend URL Configuration Rules to .clinerules
tags: ["rules", "frontend", "vite", "url-configuration", "best-practices"]
rationale:
  During authentication optimization, we discovered that frontend URLs that appeared incorrect were actually correct due to Vite proxy configuration. This led to unnecessary debugging time and could mislead future developers.

implementation_details:
  Added new section 'Frontend URL Configuration Rules' to .clinerules with 4-step verification process: 1) Check vite.config.ts for proxy rules, 2) Understand URL mapping flow (frontend -> Vite proxy -> backend), 3) Verify through browser network tab testing, 4) Avoid common mistake of assuming URLs are wrong when Vite handles rewriting. This prevents future URL debugging confusion.


timestamp: 2025-08-24 21:40:58.409950
summary: Approved ThrillWiki Trending & New Content System Architecture
tags: ["architecture", "trending-system", "approved", "ready-for-implementation"]
rationale:
  User approved the comprehensive architecture plan that leverages existing Django/pghistory infrastructure, includes weighted trending algorithm (views 40%, ratings 30%, recency 20%, engagement 10%), Redis caching with optimized TTL, and complete frontend integration matching Home.vue expectations. Ready for implementation phase.

implementation_details:
  Architecture includes: PageView tracking model with middleware, new API endpoints (/api/v1/trending/, /api/v1/new-content/), background job system for trending calculations, comprehensive caching strategy, and full frontend integration with existing Vue.js structure.


timestamp: 2025-08-25 17:46:11.419284
summary: Implemented PostgreSQL full-text search for ride filtering system
tags: ["search", "postgresql", "performance", "backend"]
rationale:
  Selected PostgreSQL's SearchVector, SearchQuery, and SearchRank over basic icontains filtering to provide enterprise-grade search capabilities. This allows for more sophisticated text matching, relevance scoring, and better performance on large datasets.

implementation_details:
  Created enhanced search service in backend/apps/rides/services/search.py that combines multiple fields (name, description, park name, manufacturer, designer) into a single search vector. Supports both simple text search and complex boolean queries.


timestamp: 2025-08-25 17:46:32.193334
summary: Adopted Vue.js 3 with Composition API and Pinia for frontend filtering system
tags: ["frontend", "vue", "typescript", "state-management", "architecture"]
rationale:
  Selected Vue.js 3 with Composition API over Options API for better TypeScript integration, improved code organization, and more efficient reactivity. Pinia was chosen over Vuex for its simpler API, better TypeScript support, and modular store architecture that fits well with our filtering state management needs.

implementation_details:
  Created a centralized Pinia store (rideFiltering.ts) that manages all filter state, API calls, and reactive updates. Used Composition API throughout components for better reusability and testability. Implemented typed interfaces for all data structures to ensure type safety.


timestamp: 2025-08-25 17:46:48.661287
summary: Resolved Django import conflicts by restructuring forms package organization
tags: ["django", "python", "imports", "package-structure", "refactoring"]
rationale:
  The original forms.py file conflicted with the new forms/ package directory, causing Django import errors. Restructured the forms organization to use a proper Python package structure with __init__.py importing from base.py while maintaining backward compatibility.

implementation_details:
  Created backend/apps/rides/forms/base.py containing RideForm and RideSearchForm from the original forms.py. Updated __init__.py to import MasterFilterForm from search.py and base forms from base.py. Removed the conflicting forms.py file. All existing imports in views.py continue to work seamlessly.


timestamp: 2025-08-26 15:54:34.616929
summary: CRITICAL: Domain-specific media migration already complete but violates API architecture
tags: ["CRITICAL", "API_ARCHITECTURE", "DOMAIN_MIGRATION", "ENFORCEMENT_ACTION"]
rationale:
  Analysis revealed that the requested PhotoViewSet split into ParkPhotoViewSet and RidePhotoViewSet is ALREADY IMPLEMENTED with complete models, services, viewsets, and serializers. However, all API files are in prohibited location backend/apps/api/v1/ instead of required backend/api/v1/. The centralized API structure mandated by architecture rules is completely missing. This is not a simple refactoring but a major architectural remediation requiring immediate enforcement action per API architecture rules.

implementation_details:
  Discovered complete domain-specific implementation: ParkPhoto/RidePhoto models in correct app locations, ParkMediaService/RideMediaService in apps/parks/services and apps/rides/services, comprehensive ParkPhotoViewSet/RidePhotoViewSet with full CRUD + approval/stats functionality, detailed serializers for input/output/lists/approval operations. All API files currently in backend/apps/api/v1/ (WRONG) need migration to backend/api/v1/ (CORRECT). Additionally found rogue API endpoints in backend/apps/media/urls.py violating no-app-level-API rule.
