Active Context - README Development Environment Setup Documentation

Current Task: Create Comprehensive README for Development Environment Setup

Date: 2025-07-02 Status: COMPLETED User Request: "Create a comprehensive README explaining how to setup the development environment for this site."

Task Requirements

  1. Comprehensive development environment setup instructions
  2. Technology stack documentation
  3. Prerequisites and installation steps
  4. Database setup (PostgreSQL + PostGIS)
  5. Critical development workflow commands
  6. Project structure overview
  7. Troubleshooting section
  8. Integration with existing .clinerules requirements

Implementation Summary

README.md Created

  • Comprehensive Setup Guide: Complete step-by-step instructions for development environment
  • Technology Stack: Django 5.0+, HTMX, Alpine.js, Tailwind CSS, PostgreSQL/PostGIS
  • Prerequisites: Python 3.11+, UV package manager, PostgreSQL, GDAL/GEOS, Node.js
  • Critical Commands: Emphasized UV-only package management and specific server startup sequence
  • Database Setup: Detailed PostgreSQL and PostGIS configuration
  • Project Structure: Overview of all major application components
  • Troubleshooting: Common issues and solutions

Key Features Documented

  1. UV Package Manager: Strict requirement for all Python package management
  2. Django Commands: Always use uv run manage.py <command> pattern
  3. Server Startup: Critical command sequence for development server
  4. GeoDjango Setup: PostGIS extension and library configuration
  5. Authentication: OAuth integration with Google/Discord
  6. Testing: Pytest and Playwright E2E testing setup
  7. Memory Bank Integration: References to existing documentation system

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

  • Complete development environment setup instructions
  • All prerequisites clearly documented
  • Database configuration with PostGIS
  • Critical command patterns emphasized
  • Project structure overview provided
  • Troubleshooting section included
  • Integration with .clinerules requirements
  • Memory bank documentation references

Next Available Tasks

Ready for new user requests or additional documentation needs.

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
