Web Server

Web Server Conventions

Transport-layer guidance for the Web UI and related services.

Architecture Rules

• Keep transport handlers thin; orchestration and domain decisions belong in service/domain packages.
• Preserve feature boundaries (internal/services/web/feature/*, internal/services/web/modules/*); avoid cross-feature coupling.
• Define interfaces at consumption points and avoid leaking concrete adapters across modules.
• During refactors, prefer clean cutovers over long-lived compatibility routes.

Routing and Rendering

• Use canonical route path packages for path construction; do not duplicate route constants.
• Keep rendering and template composition scoped to the owning feature.
• Favor explicit request -> service -> response flow over ad hoc handler logic.

Testing Focus

• Prefer integration tests at transport seams (request mapping, auth checks, response contracts).
• Assert user-visible outcomes and explicit protocol invariants, not incidental markup trivia.

Play UI Build Output

• If the change touches internal/services/play/ui/**, refresh the checked-in production bundle in internal/services/play/ui/dist before finishing.
• Use npm run build from internal/services/play/ui or make play-ui-dist.
• Treat the checked-in dist as part of the deliverable, not an optional local artifact.

Architecture Notes

Refer to docs/architecture/architecture.md for system layout and service boundaries. Refer to docs/architecture/domain-language.md for canonical naming.
