# Architecture
Walkup is a baseball walk-up song app with a React PWA frontend and a FastAPI backend.
## System Overview
- The frontend runs as a browser app and PWA.
- The backend owns authentication, persisted app data, and media processing.
- TeamSnap is the source of truth for teams, members, events, lineups, and availability.
- The backend stores only app-owned data plus TeamSnap external IDs and tokens needed for the session flow.
## Frontend
- `frontend/` contains the React application.
- The app uses React Router for navigation and TanStack Query for server state.
- TeamSnap data is loaded through the official JavaScript SDK from the browser after the backend provides an access token.
- The UI includes player, operator, and library views for clip management and gameday playback.
- The app is shipped as a PWA with install and offline-prep behavior.
## Backend
- `backend/` contains the FastAPI application.
- The backend handles TeamSnap OAuth start, callback, and token refresh.
- It manages session state, clip metadata, game assignment state, and normalized media storage.
- Media files are stored locally in the backend storage path during development.
## Data Boundaries
- TeamSnap entities are not durably mirrored as first-class backend records.
- App-owned records include media assets, clips, playback assignments, and related metadata.
- Game-day clip pinning is modeled as app state that references TeamSnap game IDs and clip IDs.
## Local Development
- Docker Compose is the normal development path.
- The frontend is served separately through Vite in development.
- The backend is run through FastAPI with local storage and Docker secrets for TeamSnap credentials.
- `README.md` contains the setup steps and environment expectations.

# Coding Standards
These rules apply to Walkup-specific work in this repository.
## General
- Prefer the smallest change that fully solves the problem.
- Preserve existing behavior unless the task explicitly requires a change.
- Keep control flow straightforward and naming explicit.
- Avoid broad refactors unless they are necessary to complete the task.
## Frontend
- Match the existing Bootstrap-based UI patterns.
- Use Bootstrap Icons for iconography rather than custom SVG drawing.
- Keep interactive controls readable and compact, especially in menus and toolbars.
- Prefer UI changes that fit the current layout and spacing conventions.
## Backend
- Keep route handlers thin and push shared logic into helper functions when it improves clarity.
- Treat tests as part of the implementation for non-trivial behavior changes.
- Preserve API shape unless the change requires a contract update.
## Testing
- Add or update tests for user-visible behavior changes.
- Run the smallest useful verification first, then broader checks for the touched area.
- If a change cannot be covered automatically, call out the gap clearly.
## Git And Workflow
- Work on a dedicated branch for a scoped change.
- Use the `Codex <codex@local>` identity for agent-authored commits.
- Keep commits focused and reviewable.
- Do not mix unrelated changes into the same commit.
## Docs
- Keep `docs/architecture.md` aligned with the current app structure.
- Keep `docs/coding-standards.md` aligned with actual repo practice.
- Update `PLAN.md` when work is completed, deferred, or split.
