Pontoporeia 3cd96ed28a Deduplicate and standardise documentation
- Consolidate 36 markdown files → 14 (plus TODO.md)
- Merge overlapping docs into authoritative files:
  - database.md (from DATABASE_SPECIFICATION + QUICK_SCHEMA_REFERENCE + DATABASE_CONFIG + SETUP)
  - deployment.md (from SERVER_SETUP + COMPLETE_DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE + DEPLOYMENT_STEPS)
  - security.md (from SECURITY_ANALYSIS + TODO.SECURITY)
  - development.md (from DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE + LIVE_RELOAD_SETUP + TEST_CENTRALIZATION)
  - migration-history.md (from 11 past migration docs)
- Standardise all filenames to lowercase
- Remove non-doc files (Context.md research notes, chat export)
- Remove superseded docs (SECURITY.md pre-SQLite, SECURITY_IMPLEMENTATION, README_SECURE_SEARCH)
- Fix stale cross-references

# Development Guide
Setup, workflow, testing, and live reload for Post-ERG development.
---
## Quick Start
```bash
just setup # One time: clone php-live-reload + setup directories
just serve # Start dev server at http://localhost:8000
```
One unified server serves both:
- **Public site:** http://localhost:8000
- **Admin panel:** http://localhost:8000/admin/
Live reload is enabled automatically — browser refreshes when you save files.
---

## Development Workflow
### Starting Development
```bash
just serve
```
### Making Changes
1. Edit PHP/CSS files — browser auto-refreshes
2. Run tests: `just test`
3. Check syntax: `just syntax`
4. Deploy: `just deploy`
### Database Operations
```bash
just stats # View database stats
just query # Open SQLite shell
just show 42 # Show thesis by ID
just reset-db # Reset database
just fixtures # Create sample data
just backup # Backup database
```
---
## Live Reload
### What It Does
Automatically refreshes your browser when you save PHP/CSS/JS files. No browser extension needed.
### Setup (One Time)
```bash
just setup
```
Clones `php-live-reload` into `vendor/` (gitignored).
### How It Works
- Conditionally included in `header.php` when `php_sapi_name() === 'cli-server'`
- JavaScript polls server for file changes → browser refreshes
- **Never active in production** (different SAPI, vendor/ not deployed)
### Detection
```php
<?php if (php_sapi_name() === 'cli-server'): ?>
<script src="/vendor/php-live-reload/php-live-reload/live-reload.js"></script>
<?php endif; ?>
```
### Troubleshooting
```bash
ls -la vendor/php-live-reload/ # Check installed
just setup # Reinstall if missing
curl -s http://localhost:8000/ | grep live-reload # Verify script included
```

## Testing
### Test Structure
```
tests/
├── run-tests.php # Main test runner
├── Unit/ # Unit tests
│ ├── DatabaseTest.php
│ └── RateLimitTest.php
├── Integration/ # Integration tests
│ └── SearchTest.php
└── Security/ # Security tests
└── SecurityTest.php
```
### Running Tests
```bash
just test # Run all tests
just test-unit # Unit tests only
just test-integration # Integration tests only
just test-security # Security tests only
just syntax # Check PHP syntax
```
### Writing Tests
1. Choose type: Unit / Integration / Security
2. Create test file in appropriate `tests/` subdirectory
3. Follow template:
```php
<?php
require_once __DIR__ . '/../../src/Database.php';
echo "Test Name\n";
echo "=========\n\n";
try {
$db = Database::getInstance();
echo "✓ PASS: Test description\n";
return true;
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo "❌ FAIL: " . $e->getMessage() . "\n";
return false;
}
```
4. Add to `tests/run-tests.php` `$testFiles` array
5. Run: `just test`
---
## Common Tasks
### Create a New Page
```php
<?php
require_once __DIR__ . '/../config/bootstrap.php';
require_once APP_ROOT . '/src/Database.php';
$db = App::boot();
include APP_ROOT . '/includes/header.php';
?>
<section class="section">
<div class="container">
<h1 class="title">New Page</h1>
</div>
</section>
<?php include APP_ROOT . '/includes/footer.php'; ?>
```
### Add a Database Method
1. Edit `src/Database.php`
2. Add method to the class
3. Write test in `tests/Unit/`
4. Run: `just test-unit`
### Update CSS
1. Edit `public/assets/posterg.css`
2. Browser auto-refreshes
3. Increment cache-bust in header: `posterg.css?v=N`

## Debugging
```bash
just logs # View error logs
tail -f error.log # Direct log monitoring
# PHP errors in browser (temporary):
# Add to PHP file:
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
# Database issues:
just stats # Check DB exists and has data
just query # Open SQLite shell
```
### Server Won't Start
```bash
just stop # Kill existing process
just setup # Reinstall php-live-reload
```
### Database Errors
```bash
just reset-db # Reset from schema
just fixtures # Repopulate with sample data
just test # Verify everything works
```
