## 🔧 Technical Notes

### Database Migration Script
Location: `scripts/migrate-public-to-visibility.js`

**Usage:**
```bash
# Dry run (safe, shows what would change)
node scripts/migrate-public-to-visibility.js

# Actual migration
node scripts/migrate-public-to-visibility.js --execute
```

**Results:**
- 120 documents migrated
- 0 documents with `public` field remaining
- 127 documents with `visibility` field

### CSP Compliance Monitoring
**Script:** `scripts/check-csp-violations.js`

**Usage:**
```bash
node scripts/check-csp-violations.js
```

**Current Status:** ✅ 0 violations

### Admin Publish Workflow
**Access:** https://agenticgovernance.digital/admin/dashboard.html

**Features:**
- Publish internal documents to public with category selection
- Unpublish public documents with audit trail reason
- Real-time visibility/status badges
- Form validation and error handling

## 🎓 Lessons Learned

### What Went Well
1. **Systematic Approach:** Tackling scheduled tasks in priority order was highly effective
2. **Automation Scripts:** Creating reusable scripts for CSP cleanup saved significant time
3. **Event Delegation Pattern:** CSP-compliant event handling is now standardized
4. **Production Deployment:** Even manual deployment worked smoothly with validation
5. **Quality Gates:** Having clear success criteria kept focus sharp

### Challenges Overcome
1. **RSyncignore Issues:** Deployment script had regex issues, used manual scp successfully
2. **File Read Errors:** Edit tool required re-reading files occasionally
3. **Context Management:** Large session required careful todo list management

### Best Practices Confirmed
1. Always use minified CSS in production
2. Test contrast ratios programmatically (WCAG AA = 4.5:1 minimum)
3. Reserve space for dynamic content to prevent CLS
4. Use data-action attributes instead of inline event handlers
5. Maintain single source of truth for data models

## 🚨 Important Reminders

### Before Next Session
- [ ] Review SCHEDULED_TASKS.md for updated priorities
- [ ] Check production Lighthouse scores to confirm improvements
- [ ] Ensure local dev server is running (port 9000)
- [ ] Run `node scripts/session-init.js` at session start

### Deployment Notes
- Production uses systemd (NOT pm2)
- Service name: `tractatus.service`
- Manual deployment via scp works when rsync fails
- Always restart service after backend changes: `sudo systemctl restart tractatus`
- Validate deployment with curl + HTTP status checks

### Code Quality Standards
- Zero CSP violations (enforced by pre-commit hook)
- WCAG 2.1 AA compliance (4.5:1 contrast minimum)
- World-class performance (aim for 90+ Lighthouse scores)
- No fake data, no shortcuts
- Always test production after deployment
