Phil Skentelbery 0cca8169ce feat: Implement Phase 4 Web Interface with bugfixes (v0.5.2)
## Phase 4: Web Interface Implementation

Implemented complete web interface with public and admin routes,
templates, CSS, and development authentication.

### Core Features

**Public Routes**:
- Homepage with recent published notes
- Note permalinks with microformats2
- Server-side rendering (Jinja2)

**Admin Routes**:
- Login via IndieLogin
- Dashboard with note management
- Create, edit, delete notes
- Protected with @require_auth decorator

**Development Authentication**:
- Dev login bypass for local testing (DEV_MODE only)
- Security safeguards per ADR-011
- Returns 404 when disabled

**Templates & Frontend**:
- Base layouts (public + admin)
- 8 HTML templates with microformats2
- Custom responsive CSS (114 lines)
- Error pages (404, 500)

### Bugfixes (v0.5.1 → v0.5.2)

1. **Cookie collision fix (v0.5.1)**:
   - Renamed auth cookie from "session" to "starpunk_session"
   - Fixed redirect loop between dev login and admin dashboard
   - Flask's session cookie no longer conflicts with auth

2. **HTTP 404 error handling (v0.5.1)**:
   - Update route now returns 404 for nonexistent notes
   - Delete route now returns 404 for nonexistent notes
   - Follows ADR-012 HTTP Error Handling Policy
   - Pattern consistency across all admin routes

3. **Note model enhancement (v0.5.2)**:
   - Exposed deleted_at field from database schema
   - Enables soft deletion verification in tests
   - Follows ADR-013 transparency principle

### Architecture

**New ADRs**:
- ADR-011: Development Authentication Mechanism
- ADR-012: HTTP Error Handling Policy
- ADR-013: Expose deleted_at Field in Note Model

**Standards Compliance**:
- Uses uv for Python environment
- Black formatted, Flake8 clean
- Follows git branching strategy
- Version incremented per versioning strategy

### Test Results

- 405/406 tests passing (99.75%)
- 87% code coverage
- All security tests passing
- Manual testing confirmed working

### Documentation

- Complete implementation reports in docs/reports/
- Architecture reviews in docs/reviews/
- Design documents in docs/design/
- CHANGELOG updated for v0.5.2

### Files Changed

**New Modules**:
- starpunk/dev_auth.py
- starpunk/routes/ (public, admin, auth, dev_auth)

**Templates**: 10 files (base, pages, admin, errors)
**Static**: CSS and optional JavaScript
**Tests**: 4 test files for routes and templates
**Docs**: 20+ architectural and implementation documents

StarPunk V1 Project Plan

Overview

This directory contains comprehensive planning documentation for StarPunk V1 implementation. These documents guide development from the current state (basic infrastructure) to a fully functional IndieWeb CMS.

Planning Documents

1. Implementation Plan (PRIMARY DOCUMENT)

Use this for: Detailed, step-by-step implementation guidance

The comprehensive implementation roadmap organized into 10 phases:

  • Phase 1-2: Foundation (utilities, models, notes management)
  • Phase 3-4: Authentication and web interface
  • Phase 5-6: RSS feeds and Micropub
  • Phase 7: Optional REST API
  • Phase 8: Testing and quality assurance
  • Phase 9: Documentation
  • Phase 10: Release preparation

Each phase includes:

  • Specific tasks with checkboxes
  • Dependencies clearly marked
  • Estimated effort in hours
  • References to relevant ADRs and docs
  • Acceptance criteria for each feature
  • Testing requirements

Start here for implementation work.


2. Quick Reference

Use this for: Fast lookups during development

A condensed reference guide containing:

  • Implementation order (strict dependency chain)
  • Module dependency diagram
  • Critical path items (what MUST be done)
  • Complete file checklist (35 files to create)
  • Test coverage requirements
  • Configuration checklist (required .env variables)
  • Common development commands
  • Key design decisions (quick ADR lookup)
  • Success criteria (how to know V1 is done)
  • Troubleshooting (common issues and fixes)

Use this when you need a quick answer without reading the full plan.


3. Feature Scope

Use this for: Scope decisions and feature prioritization

Definitive document on what's in/out of scope for V1:

  • IN SCOPE: Complete feature matrix with justifications

    • Authentication & Authorization
    • Notes Management
    • Web Interface (Public & Admin)
    • Micropub Support
    • RSS Feed
    • Data Management
    • Security
    • Testing
    • Documentation
  • OUT OF SCOPE: What to defer to V2

    • Multi-user support
    • Tags and categories
    • Media uploads
    • Webmentions
    • Advanced features
    • (50+ features explicitly deferred)
  • Feature Justification Framework: How to evaluate new feature requests

  • Lines of Code Budget: Maximum complexity targets per module

Use this when someone asks "Should we add feature X?" or when tempted to add "just one more thing."


How to Use These Documents

For Initial Planning

  1. Read Implementation Plan completely
  2. Review Feature Scope to understand boundaries
  3. Bookmark Quick Reference for daily use

During Development

  1. Follow Implementation Plan phase by phase
  2. Check off tasks as completed
  3. Reference Quick Reference for commands and lookups
  4. Consult Feature Scope when scope questions arise

For Daily Work

Getting Started

Ready to start implementing?

  1. Read Implementation Plan completely
  2. Review Feature Scope to understand boundaries
