# 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

## Next Available Tasks
Ready for new user requests or additional layout optimizations.
