Active Context - README Development Environment Setup Update

Current Task: README.md Update for Accurate Development Environment Setup

Date: 2025-07-02 Status: ✅ COMPLETED User Request: "make sure 'README.md' is fully up to date with proper dev environment setup instructions"

Task Requirements

1. ✅ Verify README accuracy against current project configuration
2. ✅ Update database configuration guidance (current HOST setting)
3. ✅ Enhance GeoDjango library path documentation
4. ✅ Improve troubleshooting section with platform-specific guidance
5. ✅ Ensure all development commands match .clinerules requirements
6. ✅ Document current system-specific configurations

Implementation Summary

README.md Updated for Accuracy

• Database Configuration: Added explicit current HOST setting (192.168.86.3) with local development guidance
• GeoDjango Libraries: Documented current macOS Homebrew paths in settings.py
• Platform-Specific Guidance: Added Linux library path examples and enhanced find commands
• Migration Setup: Added note to update database HOST before running migrations
• Troubleshooting Enhancement: Improved GDAL/GEOS library location guidance
• Configuration Verification: Confirmed UV package manager, PostGIS setup, and development commands

Key Updates Made

1. Database Host Clarity: Explicit mention of current 192.168.86.3 setting and local development guidance
2. GeoDjango Library Paths: Current macOS Homebrew paths documented with Linux alternatives
3. Enhanced Troubleshooting: Additional find commands for /opt directory library locations
4. Migration Guidance: Pre-migration database configuration note added
5. Platform Support: Better cross-platform setup instructions
6. Configuration Accuracy: All settings verified against actual project files

Development Workflow Emphasis

• Package Management: uv add <package> only
• Django Commands: uv run manage.py <command> pattern
• Server Startup: Full command sequence with cleanup
• CSS Development: Tailwind CSS compilation integration

Success Criteria Met

• ✅ README.md verified against current project configuration
• ✅ Database HOST setting explicitly documented with local development guidance
• ✅ GeoDjango library paths updated with current system-specific information
• ✅ Enhanced troubleshooting with platform-specific library location commands
• ✅ Migration setup guidance improved with configuration prerequisites
• ✅ All development commands confirmed to match .clinerules requirements
• ✅ Cross-platform setup instructions enhanced

Documentation Created

• Update Log: memory-bank/documentation/readme-update-2025-07-02.md
• Complete Change Summary: All modifications documented with before/after examples

Next Available Tasks

README.md is now fully up to date and accurate. Ready for new user requests.

Task Requirements

1. Card Order Priority

• Ensure operator/owner card appears first in the grid layout
• Verify HTML template order places owner/operator information first

2. Full-Width Responsive Behavior

• At smaller screen sizes, operator/owner card should span full width of grid
• Similar behavior to park/ride name expansion in header
• Other stats cards arrange normally below the full-width operator card

3. CSS Grid Implementation

• Use CSS Grid grid-column: 1 / -1 for full-width spanning
• Implement responsive breakpoints for full-width behavior activation
• Ensure smooth transition between full-width and normal grid layouts

4. Template Structure Analysis

• Examine current park detail template structure
• Identify how operator/owner information is currently displayed
• Modify template if needed for proper card ordering

5. Visual Hierarchy

• Operator card should visually stand out as primary information
• Maintain consistent styling while emphasizing importance
• Professional and well-organized layout

Implementation Plan

1. Examine current park detail template structure
2. Identify operator/owner card implementation
3. Modify template for proper card ordering
4. Implement CSS Grid full-width responsive behavior
5. Test across various screen sizes
6. Document changes and verify success criteria

Success Criteria

• ✅ Operator/owner card appears as first card in stats grid
• ✅ At smaller screen sizes, operator card spans full width of container
• ✅ Layout transitions smoothly between full-width and grid arrangements
• ✅ Other stats cards arrange properly below operator card
• ✅ Visual hierarchy clearly emphasizes operator information

Previous Task Completed

✅ Always Even Grid Layout - Successfully implemented balanced card distributions across all screen sizes

Task Completion Summary ✅

Implementation Successfully Completed

• ✅ Owner Card Priority: Moved operator/owner card to first position in stats grid
• ✅ Full-Width Responsive: Card spans full width on small/medium screens (800px-1023px)
• ✅ Normal Grid on Large: Card takes normal column width on large screens (1024px+)
• ✅ Visual Hierarchy: Owner information clearly emphasized as priority
• ✅ Smooth Transitions: Responsive behavior works seamlessly across all screen sizes

Files Modified

1. templates/parks/park_detail.html: Reordered cards, added card-stats-priority class
2. static/css/src/input.css: Added responsive CSS rules for priority card behavior

Testing Verified

• Cedar Point Page: Tested at 800px, 900px, and 1200px screen widths
• All Success Criteria Met: Priority positioning, full-width behavior, smooth responsive transitions

Documentation Created

• Project Documentation: memory-bank/projects/operator-priority-card-implementation-2025-06-28.md
• Complete Implementation Details: Technical specifications, testing results, success criteria verification
