# WeatherTool project documentation

This directory contains the working documentation for the WeatherTool modernization effort. The repository-root `README.md` is preserved as the original project overview; these documents describe the reviewed code, current staging environment, and changes being developed.

## Current status

- Development source is edited and committed on Windows; Docker builds and runtime testing are performed on Rocky.
- A production-like staging copy runs through Docker Compose on Rocky Linux at `http://192.168.1.101:9190`.
- Staging uses deterministic synthetic observations for the repository station set plus Valmiera, required by Faktiskā.
- Scheduled external-provider jobs are disabled in development and staging.
- PostgreSQL is private to the project Compose network; only the Scala application publishes a host port.
- UI modernization is in progress. City Analysis retains custom analytical map outputs, while Faktiskā is a fixed 13-position, latest-temperature newsroom workflow with a locked 3840×1440 export.
- Faktiskā symbol placement is automatic after manual image selection and is anchored to each rendered temperature badge.
- The first **Ūdens temperatūra** workspace is implemented with manual Latvian-named fields and required 1920×1080 and 3840×1440 exports; visual calibration remains in progress.
- Confirmed local Monda Regular/Bold files provide interface and generated-graphic typography; weather symbols use normalized transparent image assets.
- Release `7dbc55b` was built and checksummed on Rocky, transferred to the VPS, verified, and loaded as the immutable `weathertool:7dbc55b` image.
- The isolated VPS UAT stack is running and healthy: WeatherTool is bound to `127.0.0.1:8002`, Authelia to `127.0.0.1:9091`, and PostgreSQL has no host port. Public Nginx routing is not enabled yet.
- Cloudflare delegation is active, strict origin TLS covers only `laikapstak.li` and `auth.laikapstak.li`, and the public Nginx/Authelia login flow is operational without changing the existing HOP site.
- The VPS database contains a deliberately limited 14-day, 34-city synthetic dataset for newsroom visual testing. It must be cleared before authorized real-provider ingestion begins.
- Approved 1920×1080 and 3840×1440 PNG production bases are now the rendering source for Faktiskā and Ūdens temperatūra; code draws only the changing values, selected weather symbols, and wind data over those fixed newsroom graphics.
- Browser branding assets and Latvian Open Graph/Twitter metadata are included for favicon, Apple home-screen icon, and link-preview support. Public crawler access still depends on the Nginx/Authelia policy used for the metadata and preview image.
- This is not yet approved or hardened for workplace production.

## Documentation rules

1. Do not put passwords, API keys, workplace URLs, or production data in Git.
2. Document the behavior that exists separately from behavior that is proposed.
3. Update these documents in the same commit when a change alters deployment, data flow, or a user workflow.
4. Keep synthetic/development instructions clearly distinguished from workplace production procedures.
5. Preserve established Latvian names in operator-facing workspaces and production files even when development notes are written in English.
