# Project Architecture & Guidelines

## Monorepo Layout
- **Backend**: `./barker` (Python, managed via `uv`)
- **Frontend**: `./bookie` (Angular, managed via `npm`/`ng`)
- **Environment**: Root `.env` file containing shared/database variables.

---

## Execution Rules & Commands

### Backend (`/barker`)
- **Working Directory**: Always execute backend commands within `./barker` OR pass `--directory barker` to `uv`.
- **Package & Script Management**:
  - Use `uv` exclusively. Never run bare `pip` or global `python`.
  - Run scripts/tests: `uv run python <script>` or `uv run pytest` from inside `./barker`.
  - Manage dependencies: `uv add <package>` or `uv remove <package>`.
- **Environment**: The root `.env` file (`../.env` relative to `barker`) contains the database connection string and secret keys.

### Frontend (`/bookie`)
- **Working Directory**: Always execute frontend commands within `./bookie`.
- **Commands**:
  - Run dev server: `npm start` or `ng serve`
  - Code generation: `ng g c components/<name>` (prefer standalone components)
  - Testing: `ng test --watch=false`
  - Build: `ng build`

### Database (PostgreSQL)
- Database settings are defined in the root `.env`.
- Inspect schema, run migrations, or check types strictly via database tools or `uv run` scripts inside `./barker`.
