**Phase 5: DevOps & Deployment (io8devops)**
- Configure the deployment environment based on the selected cloud platform or local hosting.
- Deploy the application to the chosen environment.
- Monitor application performance and address any issues.

**Constraints:**
- Leverage the existing base project structure.  Only append, do not overwrite existing files.
- All code and configurations must reside within the existing `backend/` and `frontend/` directories.
- Adhere to the existing coding standards of the base project.

**Milestones:**
- Completion of requirements document (end of Phase 1)
- Completion of architecture document (end of Phase 2)

## io8coder Master Agent Breakdown Update - Notes Taking App - 2025-09-24 05:55:00

This update incorporates specifics for a notes-taking application, leveraging the existing base project structure.  The primary focus is extending the existing codebase rather than building from scratch.

**Phase 1:  Analysis & Requirements (io8analyst) - Update**
- Further define core features to include: note tagging, rich text editing, image/file attachments, cloud synchronization options (e.g., Dropbox, Google Drive), and offline access.
- Specify user authentication and authorization using standard OAuth2 or JWT for secure user sessions.
- Determine data storage requirements: a NoSQL database (MongoDB) might be suitable for its flexible schema to accommodate future feature additions.
- Confirm platform compatibility: prioritize a responsive web application for initial deployment, with mobile adaptation considered in later phases.
- Outline UI/UX design focusing on intuitive note creation, organization, and search capabilities.

**Phase 2: Architecture & Technology Selection (io8architect) - Update**
- Consider using React for the frontend, leveraging existing component library in base project or integrating Material UI for a consistent user experience.
- Node.js with Express.js is recommended for the backend to efficiently manage API endpoints. Integrate with MongoDB database using Mongoose ODM.
- Design a database schema including fields for note title, content, tags, creation date, user ID, and attachments.
- Define API endpoints: POST /notes (create), GET /notes (retrieve all), GET /notes/:id (retrieve single), PUT /notes/:id (update), DELETE /notes/:id (delete).
- Explore deployment to a cloud platform like AWS, Google Cloud or Heroku for scalability and reliability, leveraging existing base project's deployment process.

**Phase 3: Development (io8developer) - Update**
- Implement frontend components for: note creation form (with rich text editor), note display (with preview and editing capabilities), and note list (with search and filtering).
- Develop backend APIs for data management based on specified endpoints, ensuring error handling and data validation.
- Implement secure user authentication and authorization using the chosen method (OAuth2 or JWT).
- Integrate MongoDB database using Mongoose ODM, handling potential connection errors and data migration.
- Conduct comprehensive unit and integration tests using Jest and Supertest, ensuring data integrity and application stability.
