# Project State

## Project Reference

See: .planning/PROJECT.md (updated 2026-04-03)

**Core value:** Help people make better gear decisions — discover what others use, compare real-world data, and see how a potential buy affects your setup before committing.
**Current focus:** v2.0 Platform Foundation — Phase 16 (Multi-User Data Model)

## Current Position

Phase: 16 of 18 (Multi-User Data Model)
Plan: 3 of 4 in current phase
Status: Ready to execute
Last activity: 2026-04-05

Progress: [#---------] 5% (v2.0 milestone)

## Performance Metrics

**Velocity:**

- Total plans completed: 2 (v2.0 milestone)
- Average duration: 7min
- Total execution time: 14min

*Updated after each plan completion*

## Accumulated Context

### Decisions

Key decisions made during v2.0 execution:

- Platform pivot: single-user to multi-user with discovery-first approach
- External auth provider (self-hosted, open-source) — Logto vs Authentik OPEN decision
- SQLite to Postgres migration — required by auth provider and multi-user concurrency
- Structured UGC only — ratings and predefined fields, no freeform text until moderation
- Separate globalItems table — not a flag on user items table
- Single-user SQLite mode diverges at v2.0 boundary
- All API routes require auth (no GET bypass) for per-user data scoping (16-01)
- OAuth service converted from sync to async for pg compatibility (16-01)
- getOrCreateUncategorized placed in category.service.ts (16-01)
- [Phase 16]: Category deletion uses dynamic getOrCreateUncategorized per user instead of hardcoded ID
- [Phase 16]: Candidate operations verify parent thread ownership for cross-user isolation
- [Phase 16]: syncSetupItems validates both setup and item ownership via inArray
- [Phase 16-03]: Non-null assertion on c.get("userId") since requireAuth guarantees it
- [Phase 16-03]: MCP session map stores userId alongside transport for session reuse
- [Phase 16-03]: Images route unchanged -- no user-scoped DB operations

### Pending Todos

None active.

### Blockers/Concerns

- Auth provider decision (Logto vs Authentik) must be resolved before Phase 15 planning
- Phase 14 is a full schema rewrite touching 6 services, 7 routes, 19 MCP tools, all tests
