pacnpal d504d41de2 feat: complete monorepo structure with frontend and shared resources

- Add complete backend/ directory with full Django application
- Add frontend/ directory with Vite + TypeScript setup ready for Next.js
- Add comprehensive shared/ directory with:
  - Complete documentation and memory-bank archives
  - Media files and avatars (letters, park/ride images)
  - Deployment scripts and automation tools
  - Shared types and utilities
- Add architecture/ directory with migration guides
- Configure pnpm workspace for monorepo development
- Update .gitignore to exclude .django_tailwind_cli/ build artifacts
- Preserve all historical documentation in shared/docs/memory-bank/
- Set up proper structure for full-stack development with shared resources

README.md Update - Development Environment Setup

Date: 2025-07-02
Status: ✅ COMPLETED

Task Summary

Updated the README.md file to ensure it's fully accurate with the current project configuration and development environment setup instructions.

Key Issues Identified and Fixed

1. Database Configuration Clarity

Issue: The README mentioned updating the database HOST but didn't specify the current setting. Fix: Added explicit mention that current HOST is "192.168.86.3" and needs to be changed to "localhost" for local development.

2. GeoDjango Library Paths

Issue: Library paths were mentioned generically without specifying current configuration. Fix:

Documented current macOS Homebrew paths in settings.py
Added Linux-specific path examples
Enhanced troubleshooting with additional find commands for /opt directory

3. Migration Setup Note

Issue: No guidance on database configuration before running migrations. Fix: Added explicit note to update database HOST before running migrations for local development.

Changes Made

Database Setup Section (Lines 115-130)

**Important**: Update the `HOST` setting in [`thrillwiki/settings.py`](thrillwiki/settings.py) to match your PostgreSQL server location:
- Use `"localhost"` or `"127.0.0.1"` for local development
- Current setting is `"192.168.86.3"` - update this to your PostgreSQL server IP
- For local development, change to `"localhost"` in settings.py

### 4. Database Migration
...
**Note**: If you're setting up for local development, first update the database HOST in [`thrillwiki/settings.py`](thrillwiki/settings.py) from `"192.168.86.3"` to `"localhost"` before running migrations.

GeoDjango Requirements Section (Lines 302-306)

### GeoDjango Requirements
- GDAL and GEOS libraries must be properly installed
- Library paths are configured in [`thrillwiki/settings.py`](thrillwiki/settings.py) for macOS Homebrew
- Current paths: `/opt/homebrew/lib/libgdal.dylib` and `/opt/homebrew/lib/libgeos_c.dylib`
- May need adjustment based on your system's library locations (Linux users will need different paths)

Troubleshooting Section (Lines 319-334)

2. **GDAL/GEOS Library Not Found**
   ```bash
   # macOS (Homebrew): Current paths in settings.py
   GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH = "/opt/homebrew/lib/libgdal.dylib"
   GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH = "/opt/homebrew/lib/libgeos_c.dylib"
   
   # Linux: Update paths in settings.py to something like:
   # GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH = "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgdal.so"
   # GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH = "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgeos_c.so"
   
   # Find your library locations
   find /usr -name "libgdal*" 2>/dev/null
   find /usr -name "libgeos*" 2>/dev/null
   find /opt -name "libgdal*" 2>/dev/null
   find /opt -name "libgeos*" 2>/dev/null


## Verification Completed

### Project Configuration Verified
- ✅ **Package Manager**: UV confirmed (uv.lock file present)
- ✅ **Database Engine**: PostGIS confirmed in settings.py
- ✅ **GeoDjango Libraries**: macOS Homebrew paths confirmed in settings.py
- ✅ **Development Commands**: All UV-based commands verified in .clinerules

### README Accuracy Confirmed
- ✅ **Technology Stack**: Accurate (Django 5.0+, HTMX, Alpine.js, Tailwind CSS, PostgreSQL/PostGIS)
- ✅ **Package Management**: UV correctly documented throughout
- ✅ **Database Setup**: Current configuration accurately reflected
- ✅ **Development Workflow**: Critical commands properly documented
- ✅ **Troubleshooting**: Enhanced with current system-specific information

## Current Project State
The README.md now provides:
1. **Accurate Setup Instructions**: Reflects actual project configuration
2. **Clear Database Configuration**: Explicit guidance for local vs remote setup
3. **Platform-Specific Guidance**: macOS and Linux library path examples
4. **Enhanced Troubleshooting**: More comprehensive library location commands
5. **Development Workflow**: Proper UV-based command patterns

## Next Steps
The README.md is now fully up to date and ready for developers to use for environment setup. No further updates needed unless project configuration changes.
