Abdulmuizz HamzatandRotimi Best 6d594b4296 feat: harden self-hosting + add pull-based deploy, Coolify/Railway (#666)
* feat: enhance self-hosting support and CI/CD workflows

- Updated .env.example to clarify auth secret generation and self-hosting mode.
- Added CI workflow for build and lint checks on PRs and main branch pushes.
- Improved docker-publish workflow to trigger on relevant file changes and added multi-arch support.
- Enhanced upload-openapi-spec workflow with caching for dependencies.
- Removed obsolete Dockerfile for API service and added jobs worker to Docker setup.
- Updated self-host documentation to reflect new jobs worker requirement.
- Modified Dockerfiles for API and Dashboard to optimize dependency fetching and installation.
- Enhanced docker-compose.yaml with health checks and jobs worker configuration.
- Updated docker-push.sh to support multi-architecture builds and improved logging.
- Revised documentation for publishing images and self-hosting to include new features and requirements.

* feat(self-host): safe versioned releases + pull-based image pipeline

Builds on the pull-based images compose (docker-compose.images.yaml) to make
pulling pre-built images safe for self-hosters:

- docker-publish: stable-releases + edge tag policy. Git tag vX.Y.Z publishes
  X.Y.Z/X.Y/X/latest; a push to main publishes only :edge (latest never moves
  on a routine merge).
- Pre-publish smoke-test gate: each image is booted against ephemeral
  postgres+redis and healthchecked before any push (docker/smoke-test.sh).
- CIO_VERSION pinning in .env.example; run-docker-full-stack.sh --images flag
  to pull instead of build.
- Docs: SELF_HOST pull-from-images + versioning/upgrade/rollback sections,
  PUBLISHING_IMAGES tag policy + pnpm release flow, self-hosting.mdx quickstart.

* ci: run build-only on PRs, defer lint until repo-wide format

* docs: point Railway template link at the new template URL

* fix: address Greptile review + dashboard CI build env

- docker-push.sh: only also-tag :latest for real semver releases, so
  VERSION=edge/main/dev can't clobber the stable latest pointer (P1).
- run-docker-full-stack.sh: stop deriving OBJECT_STORAGE_PUBLIC_ENDPOINT from
  the dashboard origin (broke presigned URLs for videos/documents buckets);
  derive only the public media base URL and document the S3-API route.
- ci.yml: provide PUBLIC_IS_SELFHOSTED at build time (dashboard reads it from
  SvelteKit's strict $env/static/public); bump cache actions v3 -> v4.
- upload-openapi-spec.yml: bump cache actions v3 -> v4.
- smoke-test.sh: dashboard gate now fails on 5xx instead of accepting any response.

* ci: scope PR build gate to the api + dashboard closures

Building every package surfaced pre-existing rot in apps that aren't part of
this PR (storybook's missing @lucide/svelte import, course-app prettier debt).
The gate's purpose is to verify the two Docker-image apps; the rest are built on
PRs by their own Cloudflare Workers builds. Filter to @cio/api... and
@cio/dashboard... so the gate covers exactly what it should.

* fix(docker-push): make latest_arg always return 0

Use an `if` instead of `is_release_version && printf` so the helper returns 0
even when it emits no tag. A non-zero return inside the $(latest_arg ...) build
argument is fragile under set -e (and would abort with inherit_errexit), which
would break the edge/main builds the policy explicitly supports.

* fix(docker): copy patches/ into jobs image so pnpm install resolves patchedDependencies

The jobs Dockerfile ran `pnpm install` without copying patches/, so pnpm
failed hashing package.json#pnpm.patchedDependencies (layerchart patch),
breaking the self-host full-stack build. api/dashboard already copy patches/.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(docker): build jobs worker deps in topological order

The jobs Dockerfile built workspace packages with a hand-written list that
omitted transitive deps (e.g. @cio/question-types, consumed by @cio/utils),
so `tsc` failed with TS2307 during the self-host build. Use the recursive
`pnpm -r --filter @cio/jobs-worker... build` like the api/dashboard images,
which builds the full dependency closure in the correct order.

* refactor(docker): move jobs Dockerfile to docker/Dockerfile.jobs and align dep install

Move apps/jobs/Dockerfile -> docker/Dockerfile.jobs so all three image recipes
live together in docker/, and update every reference (docker-compose.yaml,
docker-push.sh, docker-publish.yml, railway.jobs.json, self-hosting.mdx).

Also align its dependency install with the api/dashboard images: replace the
hand-maintained list of workspace package.json copies (which silently missed
transitive deps like @cio/core / @cio/ai-assistant, leaving their node_modules
uninstalled and breaking the build with TS2307) with the proven pnpm-fetch
pattern: fetch the full lockfile into a cached store, COPY . ., then an offline
filtered install of @cio/jobs-worker... This installs the complete dependency
closure regardless of how the workspace graph grows.

* refactor(docker): move docker-compose.yaml to repo root for Coolify compatibility

Coolify's Docker Compose build pack forces Base Directory to the repo root and
resolves build contexts from there, so the compose's `context: ..` (needed when
the file lived in docker/) climbed above the repo and failed with
`lstat /artifacts/docker: no such file or directory`.

Move docker/docker-compose.yaml -> ./docker-compose.yaml and change the build
contexts from `..` to `.` so the context is the repo root with no upward path.
This works identically for run-docker-full-stack.sh, manual `docker compose up`,
and Coolify. Dockerfiles stay referenced as docker/Dockerfile.*. Update the
references in run-docker-full-stack.sh and the docs accordingly. The images
compose (docker-compose.images.yaml) is unaffected (no build context) and stays
in docker/.

* Add self-hosting documentation for Coolify and Railway

- Created new documentation for deploying ClassroomIO on Coolify using a pull-based Docker Compose stack.
- Added comprehensive guide for self-hosting ClassroomIO with Docker, covering both pre-built images and building from source.
- Introduced a new meta.json file to organize self-hosting documentation pages.
- Developed a Railway deployment guide with environment variable configurations for API, dashboard, and jobs worker.
- Updated self-hosting blog post to link directly to the new Railway guide.
- Removed obsolete Railway configuration files (railway.api.json, railway.dashboard.json, railway.jobs.json).
- Enhanced run-docker-full-stack.sh script to improve MinIO credential generation and service readiness checks.
- Updated docker-compose files to enforce strong secret requirements for authentication.
- Adjusted self-hosting references in the Docker documentation to include new guides.

* fix(docker): point references at root-level docker-compose.images.yaml

The pull-based compose file moved to the repo root (alongside docker-compose.yaml).
Update IMAGES_COMPOSE_FILE in run-docker-full-stack.sh, the file's own header
example, and the docs (docker.mdx curl URL, coolify.mdx path + blob link,
SELF_HOST.md relative link + curl URL).

* fix(self-host): address review round 2 — drop unused AUTH_BEARER_TOKEN, pull-by-default, doc fixes

- Remove AUTH_BEARER_TOKEN everywhere (unused in app code; PRIVATE_SERVER_KEY is the real
  dashboard<->api key). Simplifies run-docker-full-stack.sh secret generation.
- run-docker-full-stack.sh now defaults to PULLING pre-built images; add --build for source.
- docs: recommend MinIO, 'a way' (not 'recommended way') to self-host, remove Direct API Access
  section, trim Common Commands, SMTP vars per-line, fix PRIVATE_SERVER_KEY wording.

* feat(db): versioned migrations for self-host with auto-baseline

- Regenerate a single clean baseline migration; db:setup now runs drizzle-kit migrate (not push).
- Add db:generate / db:migrate / db:baseline scripts.
- baselineMigrationsIfNeeded(): adopt an existing (push/supabase) schema into drizzle's journal so
  migrate won't try to recreate existing objects ("type/table already exists"). No-ops on fresh
  and already-tracked databases; runs automatically in db:setup before migrate.

* ci(openapi): drop stale ci.yml reference in turbo-cache comment

ci.yml was removed earlier in this review; the openapi workflow's turbo cache still
warms from its own prior runs via restore-keys, so this is a comment-only fix.

* fix(db): make baseline squash-safe for migrate-tracked databases

baselineMigrationsIfNeeded returned early whenever drizzle.__drizzle_migrations
had any rows. After a migration squash, an instance tracked under the old
journal (pre-squash hashes) would then let `drizzle-kit migrate` re-run the
consolidated baseline — whose journal `when` is newer than every old created_at
— and crash on `CREATE TYPE/TABLE "..." already exists` at startup.

Now, when history exists but the consolidated baseline hash is absent, insert
that hash (marking it already applied) so migrate skips it. Only the baseline
entry (idx 0) is reconciled, so genuinely pending future migrations still run.

Verified end-to-end against Postgres: reproduces the original crash, confirms
the fix no-ops migrate on a pre-squash DB, and confirms a later 0001 migration
still applies. Fresh-DB and already-adopted paths unchanged.

* fix(docker): add explicit id to pnpm-store cache mounts

Railway's Metal builder rejects BuildKit cache mounts that omit an
explicit id (it does not default id to target like standard Docker/
BuildKit do), failing the build at parse time with:

  dockerfile invalid: flag '--mount=type=cache,target=/pnpm/store'
  is missing an id argument

Add id=pnpm-store to all six cache mounts across the api, dashboard,
and jobs images. Harmless on Docker Desktop / CI / GitHub Actions, and
required for the Railway self-host build path.

* fix(docker): drop BuildKit cache mounts for Railway compatibility

Railway's builder rejects cache-mount ids not prefixed with its
per-service cacheKey, which can't be hardcoded in a Dockerfile shared
across CI, local Docker, and three Railway services. Remove the
--mount=type=cache flag (keep --store-dir /pnpm/store); the store is
baked into the fetch layer and reused by the offline install, so
behaviour is unchanged. Supersedes 9c4633f2c.

* fix(docker): force LF for shell scripts and Dockerfiles via .gitattributes

cio-api crash-looped on Railway with 'exec /app/entrypoint.sh: No such
file or directory' because the entrypoint shipped with CRLF endings
(Windows checkout, core.autocrlf=true) — the '#!/bin/sh\r' shebang is
unresolvable in the container. Add .gitattributes pinning *.sh and
Dockerfile* to LF so container-executed files are never CRLF regardless
of contributor OS.

* fix(db): serialize db-setup with an advisory lock to prevent baseline double-insert

Concurrent db:setup runs (e.g. multiple API replicas booting together) could both
pass the baseline 'already present?' check and insert duplicate rows into
drizzle.__drizzle_migrations, which has no unique constraint on hash. Wrap baseline
+ migrate in a pg_advisory_lock held on a dedicated connection so concurrent
startups serialize: the loser blocks, then sees the baseline applied and no-ops.

* docs(railway): update template deploy URL to classroomio-1

## 1. System Overview
**What it is.** ClassroomIO is an open‑source **Learning Management System (LMS) for
companies** — compliance/employee training, customer education, and partner
certification. It supports multi‑organization workspaces, courses/lessons/exercises,
programs (cohorts), certificates, an AI course builder + in‑lesson tutor, a public
REST API, an MCP server, and embeddable course widgets. It can be **self‑hosted** or
run as the **cloud** product. (`README.md` → lines 11–50 — feature summary;
`README.md` → 84–91 — monorepo apps.)
**Tech stack** (cited from manifests):
- **Monorepo**: pnpm + Turbo. `package.json` → root scripts/workspaces;
`pnpm-workspace.yaml` → packages globs (`apps/*`, `packages/*`,
`packages/course-app/src/*`); `turbo.json`.
- **Frontend**: SvelteKit + Svelte 5 + TailwindCSS. `README.md` → 52–58 ("Built With");
`apps/dashboard/svelte.config.js`.
- **Backend API**: Hono (TypeScript). `apps/api/src/app.ts` → `new Hono()` app;
`ARCHITECHTURE.md` → layered architecture (Routes → Services → Queries).
- **Database**: PostgreSQL via Drizzle ORM. `packages/db/src/schema.ts` (~3,400 lines
of `pgTable`/`pgEnum`); `packages/db/src/drizzle.ts`.
- **Auth**: Better Auth (sessions, OAuth, SSO). `apps/api/src/app.ts` → 12, 107–188
(`auth.handler`, `/api/auth/*`); `packages/db/src/auth.ts`.
- **Background jobs**: BullMQ + Redis. `apps/jobs`, `apps/api/src/routes/admin/queues.ts`
(`mountQueueDashboard`), `mediaJob`/`jobStep`/`deadLetterJob` tables in `schema.ts`.
- **Object storage**: S3‑compatible / MinIO. `.env.example` → 77–89 (OBJECT_STORAGE_*);
`README.md` → 176–191.
- **Billing**: Polar. `apps/dashboard/src/routes/api/polar/*`.
- **AI providers**: OpenAI / Google (Gemini) / Anthropic. `.env.example` → 110–115;
`packages/utils/src/agent-models` (per `README.md` → 236).
**High‑level architecture** (`ARCHITECHTURE.md` → 9–51):
```
SvelteKit dashboard (apps/dashboard) ──RPC (Hono client)──▶ Hono API (apps/api)
│ server-side SSR proxy (.server.ts, PRIVATE_SERVER_KEY) │
│ ▼
Public org sites / embeds Services → Queries (Drizzle)
(apps/website, apps/embeds) │
▼
PostgreSQL · Redis/BullMQ · S3/MinIO
```
- Layered API: **Routes** (HTTP/validation/auth) → **Services** (business logic/
transactions) → **Queries** (pure Drizzle). `ARCHITECHTURE.md` → 44–50.
- Shared **Zod validation** in `packages/utils/src/validation/*`, used by both API and
dashboard. `ARCHITECHTURE.md` → 45; `AGENTS.md` → 17–25.
- Dashboard talks to the API through a typed Hono RPC client and an SSR auth proxy
authenticated with `PRIVATE_SERVER_KEY`. `README.md` → 149–156.

## 3. Per‑Feature Detail
### 3.1 Authentication & Sessions
- **Purpose:** authenticate users (email/password + OAuth) and attach org roles to the session.
- **How it works:** All `/api/auth/*` requests are handled by Better Auth via
`auth.handler`. `apps/api/src/app.ts` → 107–188. A global middleware resolves the
session on every request and sets `user`, `session`, and `orgRoles` into context.
`apps/api/src/app.ts` → 60–97. The app rebuilds the request host from
`X-Forwarded-Host`/`-Proto` (Cloudflare proxy) and uses a Redis "oauth handoff" to
shrink large OAuth callback cookies into a short token. `apps/api/src/app.ts` → 110–173.
- **User flow:** Login page → submit email/password (or OAuth) → Better Auth sets
session cookie → dashboard reads `/session`. `apps/dashboard/src/routes/(auth)/login`;
`apps/api/src/app.ts` → 189–199 (`/session`).
- **Key files:** `apps/api/src/app.ts`, `packages/db/src/auth.ts`,
`packages/db/src/auth/hooks/create-profile.ts`.
- **Edge cases:** OAuth cookie > 500 chars routed through Redis token (`app.ts:160`);
`getSession` failures fall through as anonymous (`app.ts:71–84`); session carries
`orgRoles` map used by RBAC middlewares (`app.ts:88`).
### 3.2 Signup Gating (`signupGuard`)
- **Purpose:** enforce org‑level and deployment‑level signup rules server‑side.
- **How it works:** `apps/api/src/middlewares/signup-guard.ts` → 129–159. With a
`cio-org-id` header: rejects when `org.disableSignup` (403 `SIGNUP_DISABLED`, line 148)
or when `settings.signup.inviteOnly` and the email lacks an active invite (403
`INVITE_REQUIRED`, lines 97–113). Without the header: cloud passes through; **self‑hosted
requires org context** unless no org exists yet (bootstrap) or the email already belongs
to the org. Lines 75–91 (`canProceedWithoutOrgContext`).
- **User flow:** Signup form → POST `/api/auth/sign-up/*` (guarded, `app.ts:106`) → allowed
/ `SIGNUP_DISABLED` / `INVITE_REQUIRED` / `ORG_CONTEXT_REQUIRED`.
- **Edge cases (tester probes):** invite‑only org without invite; disabled signup;
self‑hosted with no `cio-org-id` and an existing org; unparseable body → 400 `INVALID_REQUEST`.
### 3.3 Onboarding & Organization Creation
- **Purpose:** create the user profile and first organization, then send a welcome email.
- **How it works:** `apps/api/src/services/onboarding.ts`. `createOrganizationWithOwner`
validates site‑name uniqueness (409 `SITENAME_EXISTS`, lines 36–40), creates org + admin
member in a transaction (lines 44–61), and on **self‑hosted** assigns the org an
`ENTERPRISE` plan with provider `selfhosted` (lines 64–77). **Self‑hosted blocks a second
org** (403, lines 28–33). `completeOnboarding` enqueues a `welcome` email (lines 121–134).
- **User flow:** Signup → `(auth)/onboarding` → enter name/org/site name → org+admin created → dashboard.
- **Edge cases:** duplicate site name (409 + Postgres `23505` fallback, lines 93–95);
second‑org attempt on self‑host; profile not found (404).
### 3.4 Organizations (Workspaces)
- **Purpose:** the top‑level tenant; owns courses, members, settings, plan, branding.
- **How it works:** `apps/api/src/routes/organization/organization.ts` (CRUD + settings);
`organization` table `schema.ts:1949` (siteName, settings, branding, `disableSignup`).
Members live in `organizationmember` (`schema.ts:1754`) with `roleId` FK to `role`.
- **User flow:** Org switcher → settings → update name/site/branding/signup policy.
`apps/dashboard/src/lib/features/ui/sidebar/org-sidebar/org-switcher.svelte`;
`apps/dashboard/src/lib/features/settings`.
- **Edge cases:** unique `siteName`; self‑hosted = single org (see §5); org settings drive
signup gating (§3.2).
### 3.5 Courses, Sections & Content
- **Purpose:** author and deliver courses (self‑paced, live‑class, compliance, public).
- **How it works:** course sub‑routers under `apps/api/src/routes/course/` — `course.ts`,
`section.ts`, `content.ts`, `lesson.ts`, `exercise.ts`, `people.ts`, `newsfeed.ts`,
`attendance.ts`, `compliance.ts`, `mark.ts`, `submission.ts`, `invite.ts`,
`lesson-language.ts`, `payment-request.ts`, `presign.ts`, `ai-tutor.ts`, `katex.ts`
(`index.ts` composes them). Course type enum `SELF_PACED|LIVE_CLASS|COMPLIANCE|PUBLIC`
(`schema.ts:26`). Course row `schema.ts:634`.
- **User flow:** Courses → New course → add sections/lessons → add exercises → publish →
students enroll. `apps/dashboard/src/routes/(app)/courses/[id]`.
- **Edge cases:** course type drives compliance/public behavior; locale enum (`schema.ts:27`,
10 languages) drives multilingual lessons.
### 3.6 Lessons & Multilingual Editor
- **Purpose:** lesson content with notes/slides/video, comments, translations.
- **How it works:** `lesson` (`schema.ts:956`), `lessonComment` (`schema.ts:516`),
`lessonCompletion` (`schema.ts:1490`), `lessonLanguage` + `…History` (`schema.ts:1706`,
`1732`). Routes: `apps/api/src/routes/course/lesson.ts`, `.../lesson-language.ts`.
PRDs `prd/lesson-edit [DONE]`, `prd/lessons-list [DONE]` confirm intent.
- **User flow:** Open lesson → edit content → add translation → student marks complete.
- **Edge cases:** language history retained; completion tracked per student.
### 3.7 Exercises, Question Types & Grading
- **Purpose:** quizzes/assessments with multiple question types and grading.
- **How it works:** `exercise` (`schema.ts:1175`), `exerciseSection` (`schema.ts:1217`),
`question`/`questionType`/`questionAnswer` (`schema.ts:1803–1913`), `submission`/
`submissionstatus` (`schema.ts:571,617`), `exerciseTemplate` (`schema.ts:2401`).
Routes `exercise.ts`, `submission.ts`, `mark.ts`. Shared types in `packages/question-types`.
PRDs: `exercise-question-types`, `exercise-sections [DONE]`, `video-recording-question-type [DONE]`.
- **User flow:** Author exercise → add questions (incl. video‑recording type) → student
submits → tutor/admin marks → status recorded.
- **Edge cases:** section‑based exercises; video‑recording answers (media pipeline);
`prd/selective-exercise-assignment` is **todo** (assign specific exercises to specific
students) — verify it is *not* yet available.
### 3.8 Enrollment, Course Invites & Secure Invites
- **Purpose:** add students to courses by email or shareable link, with audit trail.
- **How it works:** `apps/api/src/services/course/invite.ts`; `courseInvite`
(`schema.ts:1282`) + `courseInviteAudit` (`schema.ts:1342`); event‑type enum
`schema.ts:53`. Org invites: `organizationInvite` (`schema.ts:1384`, EMAIL/LINK enum
`schema.ts:71`) + `…Audit` (`schema.ts:1448`), routes `apps/api/src/routes/invite/invite.ts`.
PRD `secure-student-invites [DONE]`.
- **User flow:** Course → People → Invite (email or link) → invitee accepts via
`apps/dashboard/src/routes/invite/[hash]` or `/invite/link/[hash]` → enrolled.
- **Edge cases:** invite expiry/custom expiry (`AGENTS.md:231` references
`customExpiresAt`); link vs email; audit events recorded; invite‑only signup interplay (§3.2).
### 3.9 Compliance Training
- **Purpose:** deadline tracking, renewals/retake intervals, grace periods, completion records.
- **How it works:** `apps/api/src/routes/course/compliance.ts` and internal compliance
router `apps/api/src/routes/internal` (`AGENTS.md:87–98`); `courseCompletionRecord`
(`schema.ts:768`), `courseCompletionNotificationEvent` (`schema.ts:824`),
`courseCertificateIssue` (`schema.ts:850`). Course type `COMPLIANCE` (`schema.ts:26`).
PRD `compliance-training-platform [DONE]`.
- **User flow:** Mark course as compliance → set deadlines/renewal → learners complete →
completion record + certificate; renewal/grace events tracked.
- **Edge cases:** grace periods, renewal intervals, waivers (per README 21), notification events.
### 3.10 Certificates
- **Purpose:** issue branded completion certificates with custom IDs.
- **How it works:** `packages/certificates/src/render.ts` + `templates/` render the
certificate; `courseCertificateIssue` (`schema.ts:850`) records issuance.
- **User flow:** Learner completes course → certificate issued → downloadable/branded.
- **Edge cases:** custom certificate IDs (README 21); template selection.
### 3.11 Programs (Cohorts) & Goals
- **Purpose:** group courses into cohorts with goals, members, and progress tracking.
- **How it works:** `apps/api/src/routes/program/program.ts`; tables `program`
(`schema.ts:2646`), `programCourse` (`2677`), `programMember` (`2704`), `programNewsfeed`
+`Comment` (`2739`,`2767`), `programGoal`/`…Assignment` (`2829`,`2878`) with goal‑type/
deadline/status enums (`2803–2828`), status enum `ACTIVE|INACTIVE|ARCHIVED` (`2644`).
Middlewares `program-member.ts`, `program-team-member.ts`. PRD `programs [DONE]`.
- **User flow:** Create program → add courses + members → set goals/deadlines → track
progress → cohort newsfeed. `apps/dashboard/src/routes/(app)/programs/[id]`.
- **Edge cases:** goal deadline kinds; assignment status; archived programs.
### 3.12 Community Q&A & Newsfeed
- **Purpose:** per‑course discussion (questions/answers) and announcements.
- **How it works:** `apps/api/src/routes/community/community.ts` with route‑specific
`middlewares/question-author-or-team` (`ARCHITECHTURE.md:241–252`); tables
`communityQuestion`/`communityAnswer` (`schema.ts:1558`,`1522`), `courseNewsfeed`/
`…Comment` (`1605`,`1632`). Comment‑author middlewares `newsfeed-comment-author-or-team.ts`,
`program-newsfeed-comment-author-or-team.ts`.
- **User flow:** Course → Community → ask/answer; team can moderate. Newsfeed posts +
comments at course and program level.
- **Edge cases:** author‑or‑team authorization (only author or course team can edit/delete).
### 3.13 AI Course Assistant (authoring chat)
- **Purpose:** in‑course AI that generates outlines, lesson content, and edits.
- **How it works:** `apps/api/src/routes/agent/{agent,history,runs}.ts`; `packages/ai-assistant`;
run tracking in `aiAgentRun`/`…Step`/`…Event` (`schema.ts:3163`,`3225`,`3259`),
conversation/model context/documents (`3083`,`3106`,`3138`). **Disabled until a provider
key is set**; `GET /agent/status` flips to `enabled:true` when any of OPENAI/GOOGLE/
ANTHROPIC key is present. `README.md:223–238`. Selected model persisted in `localStorage`
(`classroomio-ai-chat-model`), provider resolved server‑side; missing key → 503
`AI_NOT_CONFIGURED` (`README.md:236`).
- **User flow:** Course → AI button (only shown when enabled) → chat to build/edit course.
- **Edge cases:** no key → AI button hidden / 503; per‑model provider resolution; optional
Tinybird observability (`TINYBIRD_TOKEN`).
### 3.14 AI Lesson Tutor + Fair‑Use Caps
- **Purpose:** in‑lesson AI helper for learners, with usage caps.
- **How it works:** `apps/api/src/routes/course/ai-tutor.ts`,
`apps/api/src/routes/organization/ai-tutor.ts`; `aiTutorMessageCount` (`schema.ts:3013`)
+ `aiTutorCapEvent` (`3050`). Settings UI `apps/dashboard/src/lib/features/ai-tutor-settings`.
PRD `ai-tutor-fair-use`.
- **User flow:** Learner in lesson → ask tutor → counts toward cap → cap event when exceeded.
- **Edge cases:** per‑org cap configuration; cap‑exceeded behavior.
### 3.15 AI Credits / Token Billing
- **Purpose:** meter AI token usage and sell token packs.
- **How it works:** `aiTokenUsage` (`schema.ts:2919`), `aiCreditBalance` (`2950`),
`aiCreditPurchase` (`2974`); purchases recorded by Polar `order.paid` webhook →
`CreditPurchaseApiServer.recordPurchase`. `apps/dashboard/src/routes/api/polar/webhook/+server.ts`
→ 33–82; token‑pack constants `@cio/utils/plans` (`TOKEN_PACK.TOKENS_PER_UNIT`, line 53).
- **User flow:** Buy tokens (`/api/polar/buy-tokens`) → Polar checkout → webhook credits org balance.
- **Edge cases:** **cloud only** (Polar); quantity/metadata parsing; UUID validation of
`triggeredBy` (lines 61–66).
### 3.16 Course Import
- **Purpose:** create courses from a prompt, PDF, or existing course.
- **How it works:** `apps/api/src/routes/organization/course-import.ts`,
`apps/api/src/services/course-import`; `courseImportDraft` (`schema.ts:2603`) with source
enum `prompt|pdf|course` (`schema.ts:29`) and draft status `DRAFT|PUBLISHED|ARCHIVED` (`30`).
- **User flow:** Org → Import course → choose source → review draft → publish.
- **Edge cases:** draft lifecycle; PDF parsing pipeline (jobs/media).
### 3.17 Media Manager (video/docs, transcripts, HLS)
- **Purpose:** upload and manage media; transcode video to HLS; generate transcripts.
- **How it works:** routes `media/media.ts`, `transcripts.ts`, `hls.ts`, `course/presign.ts`
(S3 presigned uploads). Tables `asset`/`assetUsage` (`schema.ts:1028`,`1086`),
`mediaJob`/`jobStep`/`mediaTranscript`/`deadLetterJob` (`schema.ts:3297`,`3357`,`3393`,`3447`),
`videoTranscripts` (`916`). Jobs processed by `apps/jobs`. Dashboard
`apps/dashboard/src/lib/features/media`. PRD `media-manager [DONE]`. Storage via MinIO/S3
(`.env.example:77–89`).
- **User flow:** Media → upload → background transcode/transcribe → use asset in lesson.
- **Edge cases:** job retries / dead‑letter; HLS cross‑origin headers (`app.ts:48–54`);
Google Drive picker optional (`.env.example:99–101`).
### 3.18 Tags
- **Purpose:** categorize courses via tag groups/tags.
- **How it works:** `apps/api/src/routes/organization/tags.ts`; `tagGroup`/`tag`/
`tagAssignment` (`schema.ts:2158`,`2188`,`2225`). PRD `tags-feature [DONE]`.
- **User flow:** Org → Tags → create groups/tags → assign to courses → filter catalog.
### 3.19 Org Public Site (org‑site) & Theming
- **Purpose:** branded public catalog and course landing pages for an org.
- **How it works:** API `apps/api/src/routes/org-site` (mounted `/org-site/course`,
`app.ts:217`); dashboard public routes `apps/dashboard/src/routes/(org-site)/{course,courses}`.
Theme picker PRD `org-landing-page-theme-picker [DONE]`.
- **User flow:** Visitor → org public site → browse courses → view course → enroll/sign up.
- **Edge cases:** self‑host vs cloud routing differences (see §5); org branding/theme.
### 3.20 Custom Domains
- **Purpose:** map a customer's own domain to their org site.
- **How it works:** `apps/api/src/routes/domain/domain.ts` (mounted `/domain`, `app.ts:203`);
routing app `apps/tenant-router`. PRD `custom-domain-cloudflare [DONE]`.
- **User flow:** Org settings → add custom domain → Cloudflare mapping → site served on domain.
### 3.21 Course Widget Embed
- **Purpose:** embed an org's course catalog on any external website.
- **How it works:** API `apps/api/src/routes/widgets` (mounted `/widgets`, `app.ts:221`);
dashboard `apps/dashboard/src/routes/(app)/widgets/[widgetId]` + `widget-preview`; build
artifacts `apps/embeds` (`embeds:publish`, `README.md:256–257`). Tables `widget`/
`widgetCourse`/`widgetVersion` (`schema.ts:2255`,`2305`,`2336`) with status/layout/
selection enums (`42–52`). PRD `course-widget-embed [DONE]`.
- **User flow:** Widgets → create widget → choose courses/layout → publish → copy embed
snippet (`embed-preview.html`).
- **Edge cases:** draft vs published widget; manual vs published course selection mode.
### 3.22 Public REST API (v1) & Automation Keys
- **Purpose:** programmatic access for integrations/automation.
- **How it works:** `apps/api/src/routes/v1/{courses,audience}.ts` mounted at
`/public-api/v1` (`app.ts:218`, `v1/index.ts`). Auth via `automationKeyMiddleware` +
`automationKeyScopesMiddleware(['public_api:*'])` on every route; OpenAPI documented via
`hono-openapi`. Courses endpoints: list/create/get/update/delete, list students, export,
get/put structure (`v1/courses.ts`). Keys: `organizationApiKey` (`schema.ts:2539`, type
`mcp|api|zapier`), usage tracked in `organizationAutomationUsage` (`2574`); managed via
`apps/api/src/routes/organization/automation.ts`. PRD `public-api [DONE]`.
- **User flow:** Org → API keys → create key with scopes → call `/public-api/v1/...` with key.
- **Edge cases:** scope enforcement (403 on missing scope); usage categories `read|write|publish`
(`schema.ts:32`); per‑org isolation via `orgId` from key context.
### 3.23 MCP Server
- **Purpose:** AI‑native course authoring through the Model Context Protocol.
- **How it works:** `packages/mcp/src/{index.ts,api-client.ts,config.ts,tools/}`; published
as `@classroomio/mcp` (`README.md:258`). Talks to the public API using an automation key.
PRD `mcp-course-authoring [DONE]`.
- **User flow:** Configure MCP client with API key → AI tools create/update courses.
### 3.24 Enterprise SSO & Token Auth (licensed)
- **Purpose:** OIDC SSO and token‑based auth for enterprise self‑host.
- **How it works:** `apps/api/src/routes/organization/sso.ts`,
`apps/api/src/routes/sso/discovery.ts` (mounted `/organization/sso`, `/sso`, `app.ts:211,213`);
`organizationSsoConfig` (`schema.ts:2479`), provider enum `OKTA|GOOGLE_WORKSPACE|AUTH0`
(`schema.ts:2444`), `organizationAuthPolicy` (`2447`). Token auth:
`apps/api/src/routes/organization/token-auth.ts`, `organizationTokenAuth` (`2513`).
**License‑gated on self‑host** via `requireLicense('sso'|'token-auth')`
(`apps/api/src/middlewares/license.ts`). PRD `enterprise-sso [DONE]`.
- **User flow:** Org → SSO settings → register IdP (discovery fetches
`.well-known/openid-configuration`) → users sign in via IdP.
- **Edge cases:** trusted OIDC origins allow‑listed (`packages/db/src/constants.ts:14–24`);
cloud has no license restriction (see §5).
### 3.25 Licensing
- **Purpose:** gate Enterprise self‑host features behind a license key.
- **How it works:** `apps/api/src/routes/license.ts` (mounted `/license`, `app.ts:209`),
`apps/api/src/services/license.ts` (`isFeatureLicensed`), feature ids `sso`,
`token-auth`, `no-tracking` (`packages/utils/src/license/constants.ts:8–10`),
plan→feature mapping `packages/utils/src/license/plan-features.ts`. Dashboard side
`apps/dashboard/src/lib/features/license/api/license.svelte.ts` (`licenseApi.hasAccess`).
- **User flow:** Set `LICENSE_KEY` (`.env.example:117–118`) → licensed features unlock.
- **Edge cases:** `requireLicense` is a **no‑op on cloud** (`license.ts:15–19`).
### 3.26 Billing (Polar) — cloud
- **Purpose:** paid subscriptions and AI token packs.
- **How it works:** `apps/dashboard/src/routes/api/polar/{subscribe,buy-tokens,portal,webhook}`.
Webhook handles `order.paid` (token packs → credit balance) and `subscription.*`
(create/update/cancel org plan). `webhook/+server.ts` → 30–168. Plans enum
`EARLY_ADOPTER|ENTERPRISE|BASIC` (`schema.ts:28`), org plan stored in `organizationPlan`
(`schema.ts:1667`).
- **User flow:** Upgrade → Polar checkout → webhook activates/updates plan; manage via portal.
- **Edge cases:** **cloud only**; subscription cancel → `cancelOrgPlan`; webhook secret
`POLAR_WEBHOOK_SECRET` required.
### 3.27 Analytics
- **Purpose:** usage analytics for orgs/courses.
- **How it works:** `apps/api/src/routes/dash` + `apps/api/src/services/analytics`; tables
`analyticsLoginEvents`, `analyticsPageEvent`, `analyticsOrgDaily`, `analyticsCourseDaily`,
`analyticsCountryDaily` (`schema.ts:167–285`). Dashboard `apps/dashboard/src/lib/features/analytics`.
Client tracking (PostHog/Umami) gated by deployment mode / license (§5).
- **User flow:** Org → Analytics dashboard → view login/page/course metrics.
### 3.28 Email / Notifications & Background Jobs
- **Purpose:** transactional email and async processing.
- **How it works:** `apps/api/src/routes/mail`, templates in `packages/email`,
enqueued via `enqueueTransactionalEmail` (`apps/api/src/services/jobs`,
`onboarding.ts:128`). Workers in `apps/jobs`; BullMQ dev dashboard at `/admin/queues`
(`apps/api/src/routes/admin/queues.ts`, `app.ts:232–234`). Email providers: Zoho/ZeptoMail
or SMTP (`.env.example:62–74`).
- **User flow:** trigger (signup, invite, completion) → email queued → worker sends.
- **Edge cases:** idempotency keys (`onboarding.ts:133`); dead‑letter jobs (`schema.ts:3447`).
- **Note:** an in‑app **notification system** is `prd/notification-system` **todo** — not shipped.

## 4. Roles & Responsibilities
**Org roles** are integers: `ADMIN=1`, `TUTOR=2`, `STUDENT=3`
(`packages/utils/src/constants/roles.ts:1–4`). They are stored on
`organizationmember.roleId` (`schema.ts:1767`, FK to `role` table `schema.ts:1913`) and
surfaced into the session as an `orgRoles` map keyed by org id (`apps/api/src/app.ts:88`).
RBAC middlewares read `orgRoles[orgId]` (org id from the `cio-org-id` header) — **no
per‑request DB lookup** (`apps/api/src/middlewares/org-team-member.ts:5–53`).
| Role | Can do | Cannot do | Enforced by |
|------|--------|-----------|-------------|
| **ADMIN** (1) | Full org control: settings, members, billing, courses, SSO, API keys, all team actions | — | `org-admin.ts`, `org-team-member.ts` (admin∈team) |
| **TUTOR** (2) | Team actions: author/manage courses, grade, moderate community/newsfeed | Org admin‑only ops (org settings, billing, member roles) | `org-team-member.ts:44` (ADMIN or TUTOR), `course-team-member.ts` |
| **STUDENT** (3) | Enroll, learn, submit exercises, post community Q&A, use tutor | Authoring/grading/team/admin actions | absence of team/admin role → 403 |
| **Guest / anonymous** | Public org sites, public courses, embeds, public API (with key) | Any authed action | session = null path (`app.ts:77–84`); public CORS paths (`app.ts:60–67`) |
**Resource‑scoped middlewares** (`apps/api/src/middlewares/`):
- `authMiddleware` — requires a session (`auth.ts`).
- `orgMemberMiddleware` — must be org member; `orgTeamMemberMiddleware` — ADMIN|TUTOR;
`orgAdminMiddleware` — ADMIN only (`ARCHITECHTURE.md:233–237`).
- `courseMemberMiddleware` / `courseTeamMemberMiddleware` — course‑level membership/team.
- `programMemberMiddleware` / `programTeamMemberMiddleware` — program‑level.
- `apiKeyMiddleware` / `automationKeyMiddleware` (+ `automationKeyScopesMiddleware`) —
machine auth for webhooks/public API; `authOrApiKeyMiddleware`,
`authOrAutomationKeyMiddleware`, and `*-or-automation-key`/`*-or-api-key` variants allow
either a session or a key.
- `requireLicense(feature)` — self‑host license gate (`license.ts`).
- `workspaceNotReadonlyMiddleware` — blocks writes on read‑only workspaces
(`workspace-not-readonly.ts`).
- `signupGuard` — signup rules (§3.2). `rateLimiter` — global rate limit (`app.ts:98`).
- Route‑specific author/team guards: `question-author-or-team`,
`newsfeed-comment-author-or-team`, `program-newsfeed-comment-author-or-team`.
**Public API scopes:** automation keys carry scopes like `public_api:*`, enforced per route
(`apps/api/src/routes/v1/courses.ts:47`); usage categorized `read|write|publish`
(`schema.ts:32`).
---
## 5. Deployment Modes — Self‑Hosted vs Cloud
The single switch is **`PUBLIC_IS_SELFHOSTED`** (`=true` ⇒ self‑hosted). Source of truth:
`.env.example:26` (Docker stack), `apps/dashboard/.env.example`, and the local‑dev value
`apps/dashboard/.env` (`PUBLIC_IS_SELFHOSTED=true`, `README.md:155`). The flag is read in
both the API/db layer (`process.env.PUBLIC_IS_SELFHOSTED`) and the dashboard
(`$env/static/public`). Every behavioral difference below is traced to a flag check.
### 5.1 Self‑Hosted mode (`PUBLIC_IS_SELFHOSTED=true`)
- **Setup:** Docker Compose full stack — `cp .env.example .env` then
`./run-docker-full-stack.sh` (auto‑generates `PRIVATE_SERVER_KEY`, `BETTER_AUTH_SECRET`);
`README.md:240–249`, `docker-compose.yaml`, `docker/Dockerfile.{api,dashboard}`,
`docker/docs/SELF_HOST.md`. Bundled Postgres, Redis, MinIO.
- **Single organization:** org creation **blocks a second org**
(`apps/api/src/services/onboarding.ts:28–33`); the new org is auto‑assigned an
`ENTERPRISE` plan with provider `selfhosted` (`onboarding.ts:64–77`). The "add org" UI is
**hidden** (`apps/dashboard/src/routes/(app)/org/[slug]/+layout.svelte:29–31`) and the
org‑site→LMS redirect is **skipped** (`.../+layout.server.ts:16`). PRD `self-host-single-org.md`.
- **Signup:** requires org context unless bootstrapping the first org or the email already
belongs to the org (`signup-guard.ts:75–91`).
- **Licensing:** Enterprise features (`sso`, `token-auth`, `no-tracking`) are **gated by
`LICENSE_KEY`** — `requireLicense` actively checks (`middlewares/license.ts:15–22`);
`.env.example:117–118`.
- **Tracking:** cloud analytics (PostHog/Umami) are **disabled**
(`apps/dashboard/src/lib/utils/functions/appSetup.ts:23–27`); a `no-tracking` license also
suppresses tracking (`appSetup.ts:29–37`).
- **URLs/links:** `BASE_URL` and invite/email links use `DASHBOARD_ORIGIN` when self‑hosted
(`packages/db/src/constants.ts:36–37`; `.env.example:32–35`). Dashboard SSR calls the API
internally via `PRIVATE_SERVER_URL` (`.env.example:28–30`).
- **Storage/email:** MinIO + Zoho/SMTP from `.env` (`.env.example:62–89`).
### 5.2 Cloud mode (`PUBLIC_IS_SELFHOSTED` ≠ `true`)
- **Multi‑org:** users can create/switch multiple orgs (no single‑org block); "add org" UI
shown (`+layout.svelte:29`).
- **Billing:** Polar subscriptions + AI token packs are active
(`apps/dashboard/src/routes/api/polar/*`); plan set via subscription webhooks
(`webhook/+server.ts`). License gate is a **no‑op** — cloud has no license restrictions
(`middlewares/license.ts:15–19`).
- **Tracking:** PostHog/Umami/UserJot analytics enabled (`appSetup.ts:17–27`).
- **Signup:** org context optional unless org settings restrict it (`signup-guard.ts:132–139`).
- **Infra:** hosted Postgres/Redis/S3; dashboard deployed on Cloudflare Workers
(`apps/dashboard/wrangler.jsonc`, `svelte.config.js`).
### 5.3 Mode‑exclusive features (summary)
| Concern | Self‑Hosted | Cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Number of orgs | One only (`onboarding.ts:28`) | Many |
| Enterprise SSO / token‑auth | Requires `LICENSE_KEY` (`license.ts`) | Always allowed (no license) |
| Billing (Polar) | Not used (plan = selfhosted ENTERPRISE) | Subscriptions + token packs |
| Analytics tracking | Off (unless… still off) (`appSetup.ts:24`) | On |
| API base / links | `DASHBOARD_ORIGIN` (`constants.ts:37`) | `PUBLIC_SERVER_URL` |
| Add‑org modal | Hidden (`+layout.svelte:29`) | Shown |
> Both modes exist in source and share one codebase; **neither mode is
> `⚠️ NOT FOUND`.** The product is one app with flag‑driven divergence.

## 6. End‑to‑End Flow Diagrams (text)
**A. Signup → Onboarding → Workspace**
```
Login/Signup (apps/dashboard/.../(auth)/signup)
→ POST /api/auth/sign-up/* [signupGuard] (app.ts:106; signup-guard.ts)
→ Better Auth creates user + profile (auth.ts; create-profile.ts)
→ (auth)/onboarding: createOrganizationWithOwner (onboarding.ts:19)
· self-host: block 2nd org, assign ENTERPRISE plan
→ completeOnboarding → enqueue 'welcome' email (onboarding.ts:121)
→ Dashboard /lms or /org/[slug]
```
**B. Author a course**
```
Courses → New course (course.ts)
→ add sections (section.ts) → lessons (lesson.ts) + translations (lesson-language.ts)
→ add exercises/questions (exercise.ts, question-types)
→ [optional] AI Assistant builds content (agent/*; requires provider key)
→ publish → appears on org site / widget
```
**C. Student learns → certificate (compliance)**
```
Invite (course/invite.ts) → accept /invite/[hash]
→ enroll (people.ts) → study lessons → mark complete (lessonCompletion)
→ submit exercises (submission.ts) → tutor grades (mark.ts)
→ completion recorded (courseCompletionRecord schema.ts:768)
→ certificate issued (packages/certificates; courseCertificateIssue schema.ts:850)
→ compliance: deadlines/renewals tracked (course/compliance.ts; internal/*)
```
**D. Public API automation (integration)**
```
Org → create automation key with scopes (organization/automation.ts; organizationApiKey)
→ external client: GET/POST /public-api/v1/courses
[automationKeyMiddleware + automationKeyScopesMiddleware('public_api:*')]
→ service resolves orgId from key → returns course data (v1/courses.ts; services/v1)
```
**E. Cloud upgrade / buy AI tokens (cloud only)**
```
Upgrade or Buy tokens (api/polar/subscribe | buy-tokens)
→ Polar checkout
→ Polar webhook (api/polar/webhook/+server.ts)
· subscription.created → createOrgPlan
· order.paid (token_pack) → recordPurchase → aiCreditBalance
```

## 7. Open Questions & Gaps
1. **Outbound webhooks — doc vs code mismatch.** `README.md:42–43` advertises
"REST API + Webhooks … receive events (`certificate.issued`, `enrollment.completed`)",
but the only webhook code is **inbound Polar billing**
(`apps/dashboard/src/routes/api/polar/webhook`) and `prd/webhooks` is **todo**
(`PRD-TRACKER.md:24`). No outbound event‑emission/delivery system was found in
`apps/api/src` or `packages/db/src`. **Code wins: outbound webhooks appear unimplemented.**
QA should not test event delivery as a shipped feature. ⚠️
2. **SCORM support** — README does not promise it, but `prd/scorm-support` is **todo**
(`PRD-TRACKER.md:16`). No SCORM code located. ⚠️ Treat as not shipped.
3. **In‑app notification system** — `prd/notification-system` is **todo**
(`PRD-TRACKER.md:9`). Transactional *email* exists (§3.28); in‑app notifications appear
unbuilt. Verify before demoing. ⚠️
4. **Selective exercise assignment** — `prd/selective-exercise-assignment` is **todo**
(`PRD-TRACKER.md:15`). Assigning specific exercises to specific students may not exist;
confirm against `exercise.ts` behavior. ⚠️
5. **Course templates / cohorts / import variants** — `prd/course-templates`,
`prd/course-cohorts`, `prd/course-import` are **todo** (`PRD-TRACKER.md:10,12,13`),
yet related schema exists (`exerciseTemplate` `schema.ts:2401`; `courseImportDraft`
`schema.ts:2603`; programs are DONE). Scope of what's actually wired end‑to‑end vs.
schema‑only should be verified per feature before writing test cases. ⚠️
6. **Anthropic in AI picker** — code supports Anthropic, but it is "not currently in the
picker UI" (`README.md:231`, `.env.example:112`). The picker exposes Gemini + GPT‑4o;
note the `.env.example:111` "Gemini 3 Flash" vs `README.md:228` "Gemini 2.5 Flash"
wording inconsistency — verify the actual model id in `packages/utils/src/agent-models`.
7. **Two operating sub‑modes within self‑host** (single‑org bootstrap vs. licensed
Enterprise) interact with `signupGuard` and `requireLicense`. Exact UX when
`LICENSE_KEY` is absent on self‑host (SSO/token‑auth hidden vs. 403) should be confirmed
in the dashboard `license` feature before recording a self‑host SSO demo.
8. **Tenant‑router / domain routing** (`apps/tenant-router`, `/domain`) was inventoried but
not deeply traced (infra scope). Custom‑domain happy‑path is PRD‑DONE; failure/SSL
provisioning states are unverified here.

## Appendix — Supporting Infrastructure (light)
These exist in source but are infra/dev tooling rather than demoable product features:
- `apps/jobs` — BullMQ worker process; consumes media/email queues
(paired with `apps/api/src/routes/jobs`, `mediaJob`/`jobStep` tables). Dev queue UI at
`/admin/queues` (`apps/api/src/routes/admin/queues.ts`).
- `apps/tenant-router` — multi‑tenant/custom‑domain request routing (backs §3.20).
- `apps/course-app` / `packages/course-app` — course‑app runtime modules
(`pnpm-workspace.yaml:4`).
- `apps/docs` — documentation site (`pnpm docs:dev`).
- `apps/website` — marketing site (`pnpm website:dev`).
- `packages/core` — shared config incl. env access (`packages/core/src/config/env.ts`,
used by `signup-guard.ts`, `license.ts`, `onboarding.ts`).
- `packages/storybook` — UI component stories (`pnpm storybook:dev`).
- `packages/analytics` — analytics helpers (paired with `apps/api/src/services/analytics`).
- `packages/tsconfig` — shared TS config.
- `packages/ui` — shared Svelte component library (`@cio/ui`); theme classes require `ui:`
prefix in dashboard (`AGENTS.md:313`).
- `packages/utils` — shared Zod validation, plans, license, agent‑models, constants.
- `packages/db` — Drizzle schema/queries/migrations/seed; `pnpm --filter @cio/db db:setup:seed`
seeds demo data and the demo login `admin@test.com` / `123456` (`README.md:215–219`).

### How this audit was verified
Every section traces to files read during the audit: `README.md`, `ARCHITECHTURE.md`,
`AGENTS.md`, `.env.example`, `PRD-TRACKER.md`, `apps/api/src/app.ts`,
`packages/db/src/schema.ts`, the role/RBAC middlewares, `signup-guard.ts`,
`onboarding.ts`, `appSetup.ts`, the Polar webhook, the v1 public‑API router, and the
license constants/middleware. No application was run and no tests were executed —
functional testing is deferred to the QA phase per the audit brief.
