Markdowntown Backend

Core workflow

1. Identify whether the change is an API route, a data-model change (Prisma), or validation logic.
2. For API routes, confirm auth/rate-limits + response shape and cache tag invalidation.
3. For Prisma changes, update prisma/schema.prisma, run migrations/generate, and update callers.
4. For validation updates, reuse shared validators and keep error messages consistent.
5. Run compile/lint/unit tests; update API tests if response shapes change.

Quick map

• API routes: src/app/api/**/route.ts
• Auth gating: src/lib/requireSession.ts, src/lib/auth.ts
• Rate limiting + abuse logging: src/lib/rateLimiter.ts, src/lib/reports.ts
• Prisma client: src/lib/prisma.ts
• Prisma schema + migrations: prisma/schema.prisma, prisma/migrations/*
• Cache tags + revalidation: src/lib/cacheTags.ts, src/lib/revalidate.ts, src/lib/cache.ts
• Validation: src/lib/validation.ts, src/lib/skills/skillValidate.ts, src/lib/uam/uamValidate.ts, src/lib/uam/uamLint.ts

Guardrails

• Keep API responses deterministic; use NextResponse.json with explicit status codes.
• When mutating data, call safeRevalidateTag for list/detail tags and landing.
• Do not bypass requireSession for private routes; keep 401 responses consistent.
• Avoid direct Prisma access from UI components; use API routes or server utilities.
