**io8coder Breakdown for "Angular Clarity Boilerplate":**

**B - Business Understanding:**

* **Goal:** To provide a robust and scalable boilerplate for developing Angular applications using the Clarity Design System.
* **Target Audience:** Angular developers looking to quickly start new projects with a pre-configured, best-practice project structure.
* **Key Features:**
    * Pre-configured Angular project with Clarity Design System.
    * Responsive layout and navigation.
    * Scalable architecture with core and shared modules.
    * Example components and routing.
* **Monetization/Value:** An open-source project that accelerates development, ensures consistency, and reduces setup time.

**M - Model Definition:**

* **Data Model (Example):**
    * `User`:
        * `id` (unique identifier)
        * `username` (string)
        * `email` (string)
    * `Product`:
        * `id` (unique identifier)
        * `name` (string)
        * `description` (string)
        * `price` (number)
* **User Interface (UI) Model:**
    * **Layout:** Main layout with a header, sidebar, and content area.
    * **Navigation:** Vertical navigation in the sidebar with collapsible sections.
    * **Header:** Main header with branding and user profile/actions.
    * **Components:** Examples of Clarity components such as data grids, forms, modals, and alerts.
* **API Model (Example - to be implemented by the developer):**
    * `GET /api/users`: Retrieve a list of users.
    * `GET /api/users/{id}`: Retrieve a single user.
    * `POST /api/users`: Create a new user.
    * `PUT /api/users/{id}`: Update an existing user.
    * `DELETE /api/users/{id}`: Delete a user.

**A - Architecture Design:**

* **Frontend:** Angular, TypeScript, HTML, SCSS.
* **UI Framework:** Clarity Design System.
* **State Management (Optional - to be integrated):** NgRx or other state management libraries.
* **Backend:** This is a frontend boilerplate and is backend-agnostic. It can be connected to any backend (e.g., Node.js, Python, Java) via RESTful or GraphQL APIs.
* **Database:** Not applicable for the frontend boilerplate.
* **Deployment:** Can be deployed to any static web hosting service (e.g., Firebase Hosting, Netlify, Vercel, AWS S3).

**D - Development Plan:**

* **Phase 1: Initial Setup & Customization**
    * Clone the boilerplate repository.
    * Install dependencies.
    * Customize the theme (branding, colors, logos).
    * Configure environment variables.
* **Phase 2: Feature Development**
    * Create new feature modules.
    * Develop components using Clarity components.
    * Implement routing for new pages.
    * Integrate with backend APIs.
    * Add state management if needed.
* **Phase 3: Testing**
    * Write unit tests for components and services.
    * Write end-to-end tests for user flows.
* **Phase 4: Build & Deployment**
    * Build the application for production.
    * Deploy to a hosting service.
    * Set up CI/CD pipelines for automated builds and deployments.

## Project Breakdown: Yellow Calculator App - 2025-10-04 11:32:58

### Project Goal
To develop a fully functional "yellow calculator app" leveraging the cloned Angular Clarity boilerplate project. The app will provide core arithmetic operations with a distinctive yellow-themed user interface, packaged for containerized deployment.

### Key Features & Requirements
*   **Core Functionality:**
    *   Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division.
    *   Clear (C) and Equals (=) operations.
    *   Numeric input (0-9) and decimal point.
    *   Display for input and results.
*   **User Interface (UI) & User Experience (UX):**
    *   Predominantly "yellow" color scheme for all interactive elements (buttons, display background) and overall app theme.
    *   Responsive design: The layout must adapt gracefully to different screen sizes (mobile, tablet, desktop).
    *   Intuitive button layout and clear readability of numbers and operators.
    *   Visual feedback for button presses.
*   **Error Handling:**
    *   Graceful handling of division by zero.
    *   Prevention or notification of invalid input sequences (e.g., multiple operators without numbers).
*   **Technical Stack (Leveraging Base Project & Io8 Structure):**
    *   **Frontend:** Angular (building upon the existing Clarity boilerplate), SCSS for styling.
    *   **Backend:** Initially, operations will be client-side. A backend might be considered for future extensions (e.g., scientific functions, history persistence).
    *   **Deployment:** Docker for containerization, Docker Compose for orchestration, Nginx for serving the frontend (as indicated by the expanded directory structure).

### Project Milestones
1.  **Phase 1: Analysis & Architectural Design (io8analyst, io8architect)**
    *   **M1.1:** Detailed functional and non-functional requirements documentation (including specific yellow branding guidelines).
    *   **M1.2:** Comprehensive architectural design for frontend components, state management, and styling strategy.
    *   **M1.3:** Confirmation of backend scope for MVP (likely purely frontend).

2.  **Phase 2: Core Frontend Development (io8developer)**
    *   **M2.1:** Setup of dedicated `frontend/` environment or integration within `cloned base project/src/app`.
    *   **M2.2:** Implementation of calculator UI components (buttons, display) with initial "yellow" theming.
    *   **M2.3:** Development and unit testing of core arithmetic logic.
    *   **M2.4:** Basic responsiveness implemented.

3.  **Phase 3: Refinement & Advanced Features (io8developer)**
    *   **M3.1:** Full application of the "yellow" theme, ensuring consistency and visual appeal.
    *   **M3.2:** Enhanced responsiveness across target devices.
    *   **M3.3:** Robust error handling implementation.
    *   **M3.4:** User experience refinements.

4.  **Phase 4: Deployment & Finalization (io8devops)**
    *   **M4.1:** Configuration of `Dockerfile.frontend` and `nginx.conf`.
    *   **M4.2:** Setup and testing of local deployment via `docker-compose.yml`.
    *   **M4.3:** Comprehensive end-to-end testing and bug fixing.
    *   **M4.4:** Project documentation updated.

### Constraints & Assumptions
*   **Base Project Adherence:** Modifications must integrate cleanly with or extend the provided Angular Clarity boilerplate.
*   **Documentation:** All agent outputs must adhere to the `.sureai/` append-only principle and existing file structures.
*   **Yellow Theme:** The color scheme is a primary, non-negotiable visual requirement.
*   **Timeline:** Agile, iterative development with a focus on delivering a functional MVP quickly.
*   **No Overwriting:** Existing content in predefined documents within `.sureai/` will not be overwritten, only appended.
