+# AGENTS.md
+Agent guide for `/home/system/home_stack`.
+
+This repository is a FastAPI + React/Vite full-stack app with Docker-based local integration.
+Use this as the default operating guide for coding agents working here.
+
+## Rule Sources
+- No `.cursor/rules/` directory was found.
+- No `.cursorrules` file was found.
+- No `.github/copilot-instructions.md` file was found.
+- If any of those files are added later, treat them as higher-priority instructions.
+
+## Repository Layout
+- `backend/`: FastAPI app, SQLModel models, Alembic migrations, pytest suite, backend scripts.
+- `frontend/`: React 19 + TypeScript + Vite app, Chakra UI, TanStack Router, TanStack Query, Playwright tests.
+- `scripts/`: top-level Docker and integration scripts.
+- `frontend/src/client/`: generated OpenAPI client; avoid manual edits.
+- `frontend/src/routeTree.gen.ts`: generated route tree; do not hand-edit.
+
+## Toolchains
+- Python: `uv`, Python `>=3.10,<4.0`.
+- Node: `.nvmrc` pins Node `20`; frontend uses `npm`.
+- Backend quality tools: `ruff`, `mypy`, `pytest`, `coverage`.
+- Frontend quality tools: `biome`, `playwright`.
+
+## Setup
+
+### Backend
+Run from `backend/`:
+
+```bash
+uv sync
+source .venv/bin/activate
+```
+
+### Frontend
+Run from `frontend/`:
+
+```bash
+nvm use   # or fnm use
+npm install
+```
+
+### Full stack
+From repo root:
+
+```bash
+docker compose up -d --wait backend
+```
+
+Use Docker when you need PostgreSQL, backend container behavior, or Playwright prerequisites.
+
+## Build Commands
+
+### Frontend
+- Dev server: `cd frontend && npm run dev`
+- Production build: `cd frontend && npm run build`
+- Preview built app: `cd frontend && npm run preview`
+
+### Backend
+- No dedicated local build beyond dependency sync.
+- Containerized dev server: `docker compose watch`
+- Inside the backend container: `fastapi run --reload app/main.py`
+
+### Docker / stack
+- Full Docker build script: `./scripts/build.sh`
+- Full Docker build via Compose: `docker compose build`
+
+## Lint / Format / Typecheck
+
+### Frontend
+- Lint and auto-apply fixes: `cd frontend && npm run lint`
+- Format generated client: `cd frontend && npx biome format --write ./src/client`
+- Typecheck via build: `cd frontend && npm run build`
+
+Notes:
+- `frontend/biome.json` enables import organization.
+- Biome uses spaces, double quotes, and no semicolons.
+- `npm run lint` applies unsafe fixes; do not treat it as read-only.
+
+### Backend
+- Lint + typecheck + format check: `cd backend && bash scripts/lint.sh`
+- Auto-fix + format: `cd backend && bash scripts/format.sh`
+- Direct commands:
+  - `cd backend && ruff check app`
+  - `cd backend && ruff format app --check`
+  - `cd backend && mypy app`
+
+Notes:
+- Mypy is strict.
+- Ruff excludes `alembic` and sorts imports.
+
+## Test Commands
+
+### Backend
+- Full backend/integration flow from repo root: `bash ./scripts/test.sh`
+- If the stack is already up: `docker compose exec backend bash scripts/tests-start.sh`
+- Local backend test script: `cd backend && bash scripts/test.sh`
+- Direct pytest with coverage: `cd backend && coverage run --source=app -m pytest`
+
+### Run a single backend test
+- By file: `cd backend && pytest app/tests/api/routes/test_users.py`
+- By file and test name: `cd backend && pytest app/tests/api/routes/test_users.py -k test_get_users_superuser_me`
+- By node id: `cd backend && pytest app/tests/api/routes/test_users.py::test_get_users_superuser_me`
+- In Docker with passthrough args: `docker compose exec backend bash scripts/tests-start.sh app/tests/api/routes/test_users.py -k test_get_users_superuser_me`
+
+Prefer direct `pytest` for fast iteration and `scripts/tests-start.sh` when Dockerized behavior matters.
+
+### Frontend / Playwright
+- Start backend stack first: `docker compose up -d --wait backend`
+- Full suite: `cd frontend && npx playwright test`
+- UI mode: `cd frontend && npx playwright test --ui`
+
+### Run a single frontend test
+- Single file: `cd frontend && npx playwright test tests/login.spec.ts`
+- Single test by title: `cd frontend && npx playwright test tests/login.spec.ts --grep "login"`
+- Single browser project: `cd frontend && npx playwright test tests/login.spec.ts --project=chromium`
+
+## Code Generation
+- Regenerate frontend API client from backend OpenAPI: `./scripts/generate-client.sh`
+- Manual client generation: `cd frontend && npm run generate-client`
+- After backend API schema changes, regenerate `frontend/src/client/` and review the diff.
+
+## Backend Style Guidelines
+- Follow Ruff formatting/imports first; avoid style-only churn beyond touched code.
+- Use 4-space indentation and Black/Ruff-compatible formatting.
+- Prefer absolute imports from `app...` over relative imports.
+- Group imports as standard library, third-party, then local `app` imports.
+- Prefer built-in generics and PEP 604 unions in new code (`list[str]`, `User | None`).
+- Keep type hints on public functions; strict mypy makes vague typing snowball quickly.
+- Use `Any` sparingly and only at integration boundaries.
+- Prefer small helpers over long route handlers.
+- Keep business logic in `crud.py`, helpers, or dedicated modules instead of bloating route files.
+- Validate request/response shapes with Pydantic or SQLModel models rather than ad hoc dict shaping.
+- Use dependency injection (`Depends`, `SessionDep`, `CurrentUser`) for shared resources.
+- Raise `HTTPException` with explicit status codes and stable `detail` messages.
+- Commit SQLModel changes explicitly with `session.add(...)`, `session.commit()`, and `session.refresh(...)` when needed.
+- Keep route docstrings brief and action-oriented.
+- Tests use plain pytest functions named `test_*`; mirror existing naming.
+
+## Frontend Style Guidelines
+- Let Biome control formatting; normalize touched legacy files when practical.
+- Prefer functional React components and hooks.
+- Prefer TypeScript types on props, query results, and form payloads.
+- Avoid `any`; use generated API types from `@/client` when available.
+- Use the `@/` path alias for imports from `src/`.
+- Keep imports organized; Biome will reorder them.
+- Use double quotes and omit semicolons.
+- Keep route definitions next to page components with `createFileRoute(...)`.
+- Prefer route-local schemas/helpers unless broadly reused.
+- Use TanStack Query for server state and invalidation instead of manual fetch state.
+- Keep auth token reads/writes consistent with the existing `localStorage` flow.
+- Prefer Chakra UI primitives and existing wrappers in `frontend/src/components/ui/`.
+- Reuse existing hooks like `useAuth` and `useCustomToast` before adding abstractions.
+- Surface async errors through shared helpers such as `handleError` and the toast flow.
+- For forms, follow the existing `react-hook-form` pattern and validation helpers in `frontend/src/utils.ts`.
+
+## Naming Conventions
+- Python: `snake_case` for functions/variables/modules, `PascalCase` for classes, `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` for constants.
+- React components: `PascalCase` filenames and component names.
+- Hooks: `useSomething`.
+- Backend tests: `test_*.py`.
+- Frontend tests: `*.spec.ts`; setup files use `*.setup.ts`.
+
+## Error Handling Guidance
+- Preserve user-visible API error messages unless there is a clear improvement reason.
+- Prefer guard clauses over deeply nested conditionals.
+- In backend routes, map expected failures to 4xx and upstream/service failures to 5xx or `503`.
+- In frontend UI flows, surface errors through the existing toast/error helper patterns.
+- Avoid bare `except` blocks; catch specific exceptions.
+
+## Agent Working Agreements
+- Check for generated files before editing; prefer source-of-truth files.
+- Do not hand-edit generated client code unless the task explicitly requires it.
+- When changing backend endpoints or schemas, consider whether `./scripts/generate-client.sh` should be run.
+- Favor the smallest coherent change that matches surrounding conventions.
