# io8 Project Builder Plan for simple_notes_taking_20251009_044730

This document outlines the project bootstrapping and scaffolding plan using io8 MCP.

## 1. High-Level Scaffolding Plan

### Backend (Spring Boot)
-   **Core Services**: RESTful APIs for managing notes (create, read, update, delete).
-   **Database Integration**: MySQL for persistent storage of note data.
-   **Security**: Basic authentication/authorization if required by future user stories (not explicitly in "Simple Notes Taking App" but good to consider).
-   **Error Handling**: Centralized exception handling.

### Frontend (Angular Clarity)
-   **Components**: 
    -   Notes List: Display all notes.
    -   Note Detail/Form: View/edit/create a single note.
    -   Navigation: Basic navigation (e.g., to list all notes, create new note).
-   **Routing**: Client-side routing for different views.
-   **State Management**: Basic state management for notes data.
-   **UI Framework**: Angular Clarity for consistent UI/UX.

## 2. Directory and File Scaffolding Strategy

The initial scaffolding is handled by the io8 platform during the "Build App" step. This typically generates:

-   **Backend**:
    -   `src/main/java/...`: Java source code for controllers, services, repositories, models.
    -   `src/main/resources/application.properties`: Configuration for Spring Boot and database.
    -   Maven/Gradle build files (`pom.xml`/`build.gradle`).
-   **Frontend**:
    -   `src/app/...`: Angular components, services, modules.
    -   `src/environments/...`: Environment-specific configurations.
    -   `angular.json`, `package.json`: Angular project configuration and dependencies.
-   **Database**:
    -   `sureops/.../dump.sql`: Initial database schema.
-   **Deployment**:
    -   `sureops/.../deployment/Dockerfile`, `build.sh`: Dockerfiles and build scripts for each service (backend, frontend, database).

Further scaffolding will be driven by wireframe creation, which generates specific UI and backend code for the defined entities (e.g., "Note").

## 3. Build Tools and Scripts to Generate Missing Code from Plans

-   **io8 MCP `build_app`**: This tool is the primary mechanism for generating the initial project structure and boilerplate code based on the selected technologies.
-   **io8 MCP `create_wireframe_raw`**: This tool generates code related to specific entities (like "Note") including:
    -   Frontend components (forms, tables) for CRUD operations.
    -   Backend REST endpoints, service logic, and database entities.
-   **Standard Build Tools**:
    -   **Backend (Spring Boot)**: Maven or Gradle for building Java applications.
    -   **Frontend (Angular Clarity)**: Angular CLI (`ng build`, `ng serve`) for building and serving the frontend.
-   **Docker**: Used for containerizing the application components for deployment.

## 4. Pre-Developer Checks to Ensure Required Docs Exist

Before developers start working, the following checks should be performed:

-   **`.sureai/io8_mcp/responses/create_project.out`**: Must exist and contain valid project, backend, and module IDs. This confirms the project was successfully registered with io8.
-   **`.sureai/io8_mcp/responses/build_app.out`**: Must exist and indicate a successful build. This confirms the initial code generation.
-   **`.sureai/io8_mcp/responses/git_pull.out`**: Must exist and confirm a successful `git pull`. This ensures the local repository is synchronized with the generated code.
-   **`.sureai/io8_mcp/responses/create_wireframe.out`**: Must exist and indicate successful wireframe creation. This confirms the core entities are defined and code generation for them has been initiated.
-   **`architecture_document.md` (Optional but Recommended)**: If present, ensure it aligns with the chosen technologies and project scope.
-   **Local Repository Status**: `git status` should show a clean working directory after the initial pull, indicating all generated files are tracked.
