# Project State

## Project Reference

## Accumulated Context

### Decisions

Key decisions made during v2.0 planning:

- 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
- [Phase 17]: Private S3 bucket with presigned URLs (1h default), MinIO pinned to quay.io RELEASE.2025-09-07
- [Phase 17]: Image URL enrichment at route level, not service level, keeping services storage-agnostic
- [Phase 17]: Use createObjectURL for immediate upload preview, presigned URLs for existing images

### 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
