# Production Compose Implementation Plan
> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
**Goal:** Convert the repository's only `docker-compose.yaml` from development deployment to production deployment using static frontend assets served by Nginx.
**Architecture:** The backend runs as a production FastAPI container, the frontend is built into static assets during image build, and Nginx serves the SPA while reverse proxying backend routes. PostgreSQL remains persistent through the existing `pg_data` bind mount.
**Tech Stack:** Docker Compose, FastAPI, Vue/Vite, Nginx, PostgreSQL
---
### Task 1: Productionize Frontend Image
**Files:**
- Modify: `frontend/Dockerfile`
**Step 1: Replace dev runtime with a multi-stage production build**
Update the Dockerfile so a Node build stage runs dependency install and `npm run build`, then a lightweight stage exposes the built `dist` directory for downstream use instead of running `npm run dev`.
**Step 2: Keep the output suitable for Nginx consumption**
Ensure the final stage stores frontend assets in a predictable directory such as `/usr/share/nginx/html`.
**Step 3: Verify the image definition is syntactically valid**
Run: `docker compose config`
Expected: compose renders successfully with no Dockerfile-related errors.
### Task 2: Productionize Nginx Runtime
**Files:**
- Modify: `nginx/nginx.conf`
**Step 1: Add static frontend serving**
Set the web root to the built frontend assets and add `try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;` for SPA routing.
**Step 2: Keep backend reverse proxy behavior**
Preserve `/api/` and `/health` proxying to `backend:8000` with standard forwarded headers.
**Step 3: Verify config structure through compose-backed startup**
Run: `docker compose config`
Expected: compose renders successfully.
### Task 3: Productionize Compose Topology
**Files:**
- Modify: `docker-compose.yaml`
**Step 1: Remove dev-only services and settings**
Delete `frontend`, `frontend-init`, and `backend-init`, and remove bind mounts, debug ports, and development commands that are only useful for hot reload or scaffolding.
**Step 2: Wire backend and nginx for production**
Allow the backend to use its Dockerfile default command, keep the database dependency, and expose only the ports needed for the production stack.
**Step 3: Build frontend assets into nginx**
Point the Nginx service build to a production image definition that includes the built frontend output.
**Step 4: Verify rendered compose**
Run: `docker compose config`
Expected: only the production services remain and configuration renders cleanly.
### Task 4: Add Deployment Verification
**Files:**
- Modify: `README.md`
**Step 1: Update deployment entry description**
Document that `docker-compose.yaml` is now the production deployment entrypoint.
**Step 2: Add minimal verification commands**
Document `docker compose up -d --build`, plus health checks for `/` and `/health`.
**Step 3: Verify behavior**
Run: `docker compose up -d --build`
Expected: `db`, `backend`, and `nginx` start successfully.
### Task 5: End-to-End Verification
**Files:**
- Verify only
**Step 1: Render final compose**
Run: `docker compose config`
Expected: PASS
**Step 2: Start stack**
Run: `docker compose up -d --build`
Expected: PASS
**Step 3: Check HTTP endpoints**
Run: `curl -i http://127.0.0.1/`
Expected: `200 OK` and HTML payload
Run: `curl -i http://127.0.0.1/health`
Expected: successful backend health response
