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)

   # 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

   <!-- 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

• Technical implementation
• 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
