WeatherTool/docs/README.md

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 station observations for all 33 stations.
• 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.
• This is not yet approved or hardened for workplace production.

Documents

• Architecture and data flow — components, data sources, data flow, and repository layout.
• Development and staging — Git workflow, local build, Rocky deployment, synthetic data, verification, and rollback.
• Product workflows — the intended purpose and current status of each visible workspace.
• Update roadmap — phased technical, security, dependency, testing, and UI work.
• Third-party notices — licenses and attribution for adapted interface components.

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.
