```

### 3. Python Virtual Environment

Virtual environment created using `uv` following ADR-006 standards:

- **Location**: `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/.venv`
- **Python Version**: 3.11.14 (meets 3.11+ requirement)
- **Package Manager**: uv (fast, modern Python package manager)
- **Installation Method**: `uv venv .venv --python 3.11`

### 4. Dependencies Installed

All dependencies from `requirements.txt` installed successfully:

**Production Dependencies (6 core packages):**
- Flask 3.0.3 - Web framework
- markdown 3.5.2 - Content processing
- feedgen 1.0.0 - RSS feed generation
- httpx 0.27.2 - HTTP client for IndieAuth
- python-dotenv 1.0.1 - Configuration management
- pytest 8.0.2 - Testing framework

**Total packages installed**: 25 (including transitive dependencies)

### 5. Database Schema

SQLite database initialized at `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/data/starpunk.db`

**Tables Created:**
- `notes` - Note metadata (7 columns, 3 indexes)
- `sessions` - Authentication sessions (6 columns, 2 indexes)
- `tokens` - Micropub access tokens (6 columns, 1 index)
- `auth_state` - CSRF state tokens (3 columns, 1 index)

### 6. Application Files

Core Python application files created with exact contents:

- `app.py` - Minimal entry point that imports create_app()
- `starpunk/__init__.py` - Application factory pattern
- `starpunk/config.py` - Environment variable loading and validation
- `starpunk/database.py` - Database initialization and connection

### 7. Test Infrastructure

Testing infrastructure set up:

- `tests/__init__.py` - Test package marker
- `tests/conftest.py` - Pytest fixtures for test app and client

## Verification Results

All verification checks passed:

- ✓ All configuration files exist
- ✓ All directories created
- ✓ Virtual environment created with Python 3.11.14
- ✓ All dependencies installed
- ✓ Database initialized with correct schema
- ✓ All Python modules import successfully
- ✓ Flask app can be created
- ✓ .env file configured with SESSION_SECRET
- ✓ .gitignore properly excludes sensitive files

## Configuration

Active configuration in `.env`:

```bash
SITE_URL=http://localhost:5000
SITE_NAME=StarPunk Development
SITE_AUTHOR=Developer
SESSION_SECRET=[Generated 64-character hex string]
ADMIN_ME=https://example.com
FLASK_ENV=development
FLASK_DEBUG=1
DATA_PATH=./data
DATABASE_PATH=./data/starpunk.db
```

## Next Steps for Development

The project is now ready for feature implementation. To continue:

1. **Start Development Server**:
   ```bash
   /home/phil/Projects/starpunk/.venv/bin/flask --app app.py run --debug
   ```

2. **Run Tests** (when tests are written):
   ```bash
   /home/phil/Projects/starpunk/.venv/bin/pytest
   ```

3. **Install Development Dependencies**:
   ```bash
   uv pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
   ```

4. **Code Formatting**:
   ```bash
   /home/phil/Projects/starpunk/.venv/bin/black starpunk/ tests/
   ```

5. **Next Implementation Tasks**:
   - Implement remaining modules (notes.py, auth.py, micropub.py, feed.py, utils.py)
   - Create route blueprints (public, admin, API)
   - Implement HTML templates
   - Add CSS styling
   - Write comprehensive tests
   - Follow specifications in `docs/design/` and `docs/architecture/`

## Standards Compliance

Setup follows all documented standards:

- **ADR-006**: Virtual environment managed with uv, Python 3.11+
- **Project Structure**: Exact layout from `docs/design/project-structure.md`
- **Initial Files**: Exact contents from `docs/design/initial-files.md`
- **Development Setup**: Followed `docs/standards/development-setup.md`
- **Python Standards**: Ready for `docs/standards/python-coding-standards.md` compliance

## File Locations Reference

All files use absolute paths as required by ADR-006:

- Project Root: `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk`
- Virtual Environment: `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/.venv`
- Python Executable: `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/.venv/bin/python`
- Database: `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/data/starpunk.db`
- Configuration: `/home/phil/Projects/starpunk/.env`

## Issues Encountered

None. Setup completed without errors.

## Notes

- The `.env` file contains a generated SESSION_SECRET and should never be committed
- The `data/` directory is gitignored and contains the SQLite database
- Template and static files are placeholders (empty) - to be implemented
- The application currently has error handlers but no routes (blueprints to be implemented)
- All code follows PEP 8 and includes docstrings
