# Active Development Context

## Current Implementation Status
Version Control System has been implemented with core functionality and initial integration:

### Completed
1. Core VCS Components:
   - Base models (VersionBranch, VersionTag, ChangeSet)
   - Business logic (BranchManager, ChangeTracker, MergeStrategy)
   - UI components and templates
   - Asset integration (JS/CSS)

2. Initial Integration:
   - Park model VCS integration
   - ParkArea model VCS integration
   - Base template VCS support
   - Park detail template integration
   - Version control context processor

3. Documentation:
   - Technical implementation guide
   - Template integration guide
   - Implementation checklist
   - Base README

### In Progress
1. Model Integration:
   - [ ] Rides system
   - [ ] Reviews system
   - [ ] Companies system

2. Template Updates:
   - [ ] Park list view
   - [ ] Ride detail/list views
   - [ ] Review detail/list views
   - [ ] Company detail/list views

## Immediate Next Steps
1. Model Integration (Priority)
   ```python
   # Add to rides/models.py:
   class Ride(HistoricalModel):
       # Update save method
       def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
           from history_tracking.signals import get_current_branch, ChangesetContextManager
           # Add version control logic
   ```

2. Template Updates
   ```html
   <!-- Add to each list template -->
   {% if version_control.vcs_enabled %}
   {% include "history_tracking/includes/version_status.html" %}
   {% endif %}
   ```

3. Testing Setup
   - Create test cases for model integration
   - Verify UI functionality
   - Test version control operations

## Active Issues
1. Need to ensure consistent version control behavior across models
2. Must handle relationships between versioned models
3. Need to implement proper cleanup for old versions

## Technical Dependencies
- django-simple-history: Base history tracking
- HTMX: UI interactions
- Alpine.js: Frontend reactivity
- Custom VCS components

## Integration Strategy
1. Roll out model integration one app at a time
2. Update templates to include version control UI
3. Add list view version indicators
4. Implement relationship handling

## Monitoring Points
- Track version control operation performance
- Monitor database size with version history
- Watch for merge conflicts
- Track user interaction patterns

## Code Standards
- All versioned models inherit from HistoricalModel
- Consistent save method implementation
- Proper branch context management
- Standard version control UI components

## Documentation Status
- [x] Technical implementation
- [x] Template integration guide
- [ ] API documentation
- [ ] User guide
- [ ] Admin documentation

## Current Branch
main

## Environment
- Django with HTMX integration
- PostgreSQL database
- django-simple-history
- Custom VCS extensions
