****# Helpdesk - AI-Powered Ticket Management System
2026-02-09 18:55:29 +01:00
## Project Overview
A ticket management system that uses AI to classify, respond to, and route support tickets. See `project-scope.md` for full requirements and `implementation-plan.md` for phased task breakdown.
## Tech Stack
2026-02-11 21:33:34 +01:00
- **Frontend**: React + TypeScript + Vite (port 5173) + shadcn/ui
2026-02-09 18:55:29 +01:00
- **Backend**: Express + TypeScript + Bun (port 3000)
- **Database**: PostgreSQL with Prisma ORM
- **AI**: Claude API (Anthropic)
2026-02-11 21:33:34 +01:00
- **Auth**: Better Auth (email/password, database sessions)

## Project Structure
```
/client - React frontend (Vite)
/server - Express backend
2026-02-13 17:46:19 +01:00
/e2e - Playwright E2E tests
2026-02-09 18:55:29 +01:00
```
## Development
```bash
# Start server
cd server & & bun run dev
# Start client
cd client & & bun run dev
```

The client proxies `/api/*` requests to the server via Vite config (target is configurable via `VITE_API_URL` env var, defaults to `http://localhost:3000` ).

## Key Conventions
- Use Bun as the runtime and package manager (not npm/yarn)
- Use TypeScript throughout
- Use context7 MCP server to fetch up-to-date documentation for libraries
2026-02-11 21:33:34 +01:00
- Use shadcn/ui components for all UI (import from `@/components/ui/*` )
- Use the `@/` path alias for imports (maps to `./src/` )
- Use shadcn's semantic color tokens (e.g. `bg-background` , `text-muted-foreground` , `text-destructive` ) instead of hardcoded Tailwind colors
## Authentication
- **Library**: Better Auth with Prisma adapter
- **Server config**: `server/src/lib/auth.ts` — mounted at `/api/auth/{*any}` (must be before `express.json()` )
- **Client config**: `client/src/lib/auth-client.ts` — exports `signIn` , `signOut` , `useSession`
- **Middleware**: `server/src/middleware/require-auth.ts` — `requireAuth` guard that sets `req.user` and `req.session`
- **Route protection (client)**: `ProtectedRoute` component wraps authenticated routes; redirects to `/login` if unauthenticated
2026-02-12 18:19:36 +01:00
- **Admin route protection (client)**: `AdminRoute` component wraps admin-only routes; redirects non-admins to `/`
2026-02-11 21:33:34 +01:00
- **Sign-up is disabled** — users are seeded via `prisma/seed.ts`
- **User roles**: `admin` and `agent` (defined as Prisma enum, default `agent` )
2026-02-13 17:46:19 +01:00
- **Rate limiting**: Auth routes are rate-limited, but only enforced when `NODE_ENV=production`

## Testing
- Use the `e2e-test-writer` agent for writing Playwright E2E tests
- Run tests with `bun run test:e2e` from root
