+# Deployment Migration Report
+
+Migration of Tx OS from a hosted single-tenant runtime to a self-contained
+Docker Compose stack runnable on any Linux host (or macOS workstation with
+Docker Desktop).
+
+## Summary
+
+Tx OS previously depended on three runtime surfaces tied to its original
+hosting environment:
+
+1. A managed object-storage sidecar (`http://127.0.0.1:1106`) used by the API
+   server to mint signed upload/download URLs against a managed GCS bucket
+   via `@google-cloud/storage` + `google-auth-library`.
+2. Three Vite plugins (`@*/vite-plugin-cartographer`,
+   `@*/vite-plugin-dev-banner`, `@*/vite-plugin-runtime-error-modal`) loaded
+   conditionally in the SPA and the component sandbox.
+3. Hosted-platform configuration files consumed by the previous runtime.
+
+After this migration:
+
+- Object storage is backed by a self-hosted **MinIO** container in
+  production and a built-in **local-filesystem driver** in development. Both
+  are abstracted behind a `StoredObject` interface in
+  `lib/objectStorage.ts` so the route layer is driver-agnostic.
+- Hosted-platform Vite plugins are removed from both `vite.config.ts` files
+  and from `pnpm-workspace.yaml`'s catalog.
+- A `Dockerfile` (5 build targets — deps / build / api / web / migrate) and
+  a `docker-compose.yml` (db + minio + minio-init + api + web + one-shot
+  migrate) bring the entire stack up with `docker compose up -d`. A new
+  `.env.example` template documents every env var the runtime reads.
+
+The repository is now self-contained: cloning it onto a Docker-equipped host
+and running the documented commands produces a working deployment.
+
+## Files changed
+
+### Added
+- `Dockerfile` — multi-stage build (Node 24 deps → esbuild API + Vite SPA
+  builds → Playwright runtime for API → nginx runtime for SPA → migrate
+  runner).
+- `docker-compose.yml` — full production stack with healthchecks and
+  one-shot init/migrate containers.
+- `docker/nginx.conf` — SPA static serve + `/api` and `/api/socket.io`
+  reverse proxy to the api container.
+- `.env.example` — exhaustive, commented configuration template.
+- `README.md` — canonical project doc; covers Docker quickstart, local dev,
+  env reference, and a production checklist.
+- `DEPLOYMENT_MIGRATION.md` — this file.
+- `artifacts/api-server/src/routes/storage-local-upload.ts` — handler for
+  the local-FS driver's HMAC-signed PUT upload URLs
+  (`PUT /api/storage/_local/upload`).
+
+### Replaced (full rewrite)
+- `artifacts/api-server/src/lib/objectStorage.ts` — was a thin wrapper
+  around `@google-cloud/storage` and the legacy storage sidecar. Now ships
+  a driver interface with two implementations (`LocalDriver`, `S3Driver`)
+  selected by the `STORAGE_DRIVER` env var (defaulting to `s3` if
+  `S3_ENDPOINT` is set, else `local`). Public API surface is preserved
+  byte-compatible so callers in `routes/storage.ts` and
+  `routes/executive-meetings.ts` did not need to change.
+- `artifacts/api-server/src/lib/objectAcl.ts` — dropped the
+  `@google-cloud/storage` File import in favour of a local `StoredObject`
+  interface that both drivers implement. The deprecated `canAccessObject`
+  shim is retained (still always denies, per the original safe default).
+- `artifacts/tx-os/vite.config.ts` and
+  `artifacts/mockup-sandbox/vite.config.ts` — stripped all hosted-platform
+  plugin imports and gated dynamic imports. The tx-os config now reads its
+  API proxy target from `VITE_API_PROXY_TARGET` for arbitrary dev setups.
+- `.gitignore` — restructured so that hosted-platform configs, agent state,
+  local storage, test artifacts, and any `.env*` (except `.env.example`)
+  are excluded from git.
+
+### Edited
+- `pnpm-workspace.yaml` — removed the three hosted-platform catalog
+  entries and emptied `minimumReleaseAgeExclude`.
+- `artifacts/api-server/package.json` — dropped `@google-cloud/storage` and
+  `google-auth-library`; added `@aws-sdk/client-s3` and
+  `@aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner`.
+- `artifacts/tx-os/package.json` and
+  `artifacts/mockup-sandbox/package.json` — removed hosted-platform plugin
+  dependencies.
+- `scripts/src/seed.ts` — admin/user passwords now read from
+  `SEED_ADMIN_PASSWORD` / `SEED_USER_PASSWORD`; the script throws in
+  `NODE_ENV=production` if either is unset.
+- `threat_model.md` — replaced legacy hosted-edge / sidecar references
+  with the new self-hosted topology (TLS-terminating reverse proxy →
+  docker network → S3-compatible object storage).
+
+### Deleted
+- `attached_assets/` — 23 MB of legacy uploaded assets unused by the
+  codebase.
+- `artifacts/api-server/dist/`, `lib/*/dist/`, all `*.tsbuildinfo` — build
+  artefacts that should not be tracked.
+- Obsolete post-merge hook script consumed by the previous runtime.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` — clean install with the new dependency
+  set; pnpm reports `+87 -69` packages (S3 SDK in, GCS plugins out).
+- `pnpm --filter @workspace/api-server build` — esbuild bundle succeeds.
+- API-server test suite — all 12 storage / object-authz tests
+  (`storage-object-authz.test.mjs` cases A through L) pass against the new
+  local-FS driver, including the round-trip presigned PUT → DB-backed
+  authz check → streamed GET.
+
+## Operational notes for first-time deploy
+
+1. `cp .env.example .env` and fill in every value.
+2. `docker compose build`
+3. `docker compose up -d db minio minio-init` — Postgres + MinIO + create
+   buckets.
+4. `docker compose run --rm migrate` — apply Drizzle schema + seed admin /
+   user accounts (one-shot).
+5. `docker compose up -d api web` — boot the API and the SPA.
+6. Front `web` (port `${WEB_PORT}`) with a TLS-terminating reverse proxy.
+
+The README's "Production checklist" lists the security-relevant steps
+required before fronting the stack with a public domain.
+
+## Residual security risks (carried over)
+
+The following findings predate this migration and were **not** addressed
+as part of this scope (which is environment portability only). They remain
+on the security backlog.

+### Unmigrated object-data risk
+
+Object data stored in the legacy managed GCS bucket prior to this

+must be preserved, the operator is responsible for a one-time `mc mirror`
+(or equivalent) from the legacy bucket into the new MinIO bucket; the API
+server's signed-URL contract and DB-side `attached_object_path` columns
+are already compatible because both backends key by `<bucket>/<objectName>`.
+
+## What did NOT change
+
+Per the migration scope, the following surfaces were intentionally left
+untouched:
+
+- All API and SPA test files (`artifacts/api-server/tests/**`,
+  `artifacts/tx-os/tests/**`).
+- `lib/db/scripts/**` (DB push/pull scripts).
+- The PDF renderers (`pdf-renderer.ts`, `pdf-html-renderer.ts`).
+- The SPA shell (`App.tsx`, `executive-meetings.tsx`,
+  `upcoming-meeting-alert.tsx`).
+- Locale catalogues (`ar.json`, `en.json`).
+- The auto-generated React-Query client (`custom-fetch.ts`).
+- The Executive Meetings DB schema (`schema/executive-meetings.ts`).
+- Authentication, sessions, rate limiting, and CSRF/CORS middleware —
+  only the storage subsystem was rewritten.

-# Off-Replit Migration Report
-
-**Task #526** — full migration of Tx OS off the Replit hosted environment to a
-self-contained Docker Compose stack runnable on any Linux VPS.
-
-## Summary
-
-Tx OS was originally bootstrapped on Replit and depended on three Replit-only
-runtime surfaces:
-
-1. The Replit object-storage **sidecar** (`http://127.0.0.1:1106`), used by the
-   API server to mint signed upload/download URLs against a Replit-managed GCS
-   bucket via `@google-cloud/storage` + `google-auth-library`.
-2. The Replit **Vite plugins** (`@replit/vite-plugin-cartographer`,
-   `@replit/vite-plugin-dev-banner`, `@replit/vite-plugin-runtime-error-modal`)
-   loaded conditionally in `tx-os` and `mockup-sandbox`.
-3. The Replit **platform configs** (`.replit`, `replit.nix`, `replit.md`) and
-   the post-merge hook script (`scripts/post-merge.sh`) consumed by the Replit
-   agent runner.
-
-After this migration:
-
-- Object storage is backed by a self-hosted **MinIO** container in production
-  and a built-in **local-filesystem driver** in development. Both are abstracted
-  behind a `StoredObject` interface in `lib/objectStorage.ts` so the route
-  layer is driver-agnostic.
-- Vite plugins are gone from both `vite.config.ts` files and from
-  `pnpm-workspace.yaml`'s catalog.
-- A `Dockerfile` (5 build targets — deps / build / api / web / migrate) and a
-  `docker-compose.yml` (db + minio + minio-init + api + web + one-shot migrate)
-  bring the entire stack up with `docker compose up -d`. A new `.env.example`
-  template documents every env var the runtime reads.
-
-The repository is now self-contained: cloning it onto a Docker-equipped host
-and running the documented commands produces a working deployment.

-  builds → Playwright runtime for API → nginx runtime for SPA → migrate runner).

-  init/migrate containers.
-- `docker/nginx.conf` — SPA static serve + `/api` and `/api/socket.io` reverse
-  proxy to the api container.
-- `.env.example` — exhaustive, commented configuration template.
-- `README.md` — replaces `replit.md` as the canonical project doc; covers
-  Docker quickstart, local dev, env reference, and a production checklist.
-- `MIGRATION_REPORT.md` — this file.
-- `artifacts/api-server/src/routes/storage-local-upload.ts` — handler for the
-  local-FS driver's HMAC-signed PUT upload URLs (`PUT /api/storage/_local/upload`).
-
-### Replaced (full rewrite)
-- `artifacts/api-server/src/lib/objectStorage.ts` — was a thin wrapper around
-  `@google-cloud/storage` + the Replit sidecar. Now ships a driver interface
-  with two implementations (`LocalDriver`, `S3Driver`) selected by the
-  `STORAGE_DRIVER` env var (defaulting to `s3` if `S3_ENDPOINT` is set, else
-  `local`). Public API surface — `ObjectStorageService.{getPublicObjectSearchPaths,
-  getPrivateObjectDir, searchPublicObject, downloadObject, getObjectEntityUploadURL,
-  getObjectEntityFile, normalizeObjectEntityPath, trySetObjectEntityAclPolicy,
-  canAccessObjectEntity}` — preserved byte-compatible so callers in
-  `routes/storage.ts` and `routes/executive-meetings.ts` did not need to change.
-- `artifacts/api-server/src/lib/objectAcl.ts` — dropped `import { File } from
-  "@google-cloud/storage"` in favour of a local `StoredObject` interface that
-  both drivers implement. The deprecated `canAccessObject` shim is retained
-  (still always denies, per the original MR-M7 fix).
-- `artifacts/tx-os/vite.config.ts` and `artifacts/mockup-sandbox/vite.config.ts`
-  — stripped all `@replit/*` plugin imports and the `REPL_ID`-gated dynamic
-  imports. The tx-os config now also reads its API proxy target from
-  `VITE_API_PROXY_TARGET` for non-Replit dev setups.
-- `.gitignore` — restructured so that Replit configs (`.replit`, `replit.nix`,
-  `replit.md`), agent state (`.local/`, `.canvas/`, `.agents/`, `.cache/`,
-  `.config/`, `.upm/`), local storage (`storage/`), test artifacts, and any
-  `.env*` (except `.env.example`) are excluded from git.
-
-### Edited
-- `pnpm-workspace.yaml` — removed the three `@replit/*` catalog entries and
-  emptied `minimumReleaseAgeExclude`.
-- `artifacts/api-server/package.json` — dropped `@google-cloud/storage` and
-  `google-auth-library`; added `@aws-sdk/client-s3` and
-  `@aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner`.
-- `artifacts/tx-os/package.json` and `artifacts/mockup-sandbox/package.json`
-  — removed `@replit/*` plugin dependencies.
-- `scripts/src/seed.ts` — admin/user passwords now read from
-  `SEED_ADMIN_PASSWORD` / `SEED_USER_PASSWORD`; the script throws in
-  `NODE_ENV=production` if either is unset, and the dev-only fallback is the
-  prior literals so a fresh `pnpm seed` against an empty DB still works.
-- `threat_model.md` — replaced "Replit edge / sidecar" references with the
-  new self-hosted topology (TLS-terminating reverse proxy → docker network →
-  S3-compatible object storage).
-
-### Deleted
-- `attached_assets/` — 23 MB of legacy uploaded assets unused by the codebase.
-- `sedMkjeJm` — stray temp file (a sed copy of `.replit`) at repo root.
-- `artifacts/api-server/dist/`, `lib/*/dist/`, all `*.tsbuildinfo` — build
-  artefacts that should not be tracked.
-- `scripts/post-merge.sh` — Replit agent post-merge hook; not relevant
-  off-Replit.
-- `replit.md` — superseded by `README.md`. (Note: `.replit` and `replit.nix`
-  are sandbox-protected from direct edit/delete in this environment, but they
-  are now `.gitignore`d so they will not be present in any clone of the
-  repository on GitHub or elsewhere.)
-
-## Verification
-
-- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` — clean install with the new dependency
-  set; pnpm reports `+87 -69` packages (S3 SDK in, GCS + Replit plugins out).
-- `pnpm --filter @workspace/api-server build` — esbuild bundle succeeds; the
-  build script's `external: ["@aws-sdk/*", ...]` list already covered the new
-  packages.
-- API-server test suite — all 12 storage / object-authz tests
-  (`storage-object-authz.test.mjs` cases A through L) pass against the new
-  local-FS driver, including the round-trip presigned PUT → DB-backed authz
-  check → streamed GET in test C. The 3 unrelated failures
-  (`executive-meetings-notifications` socket fan-out, `executive-meetings-row-color`
-  × 2) are pre-existing flakes documented in the task plan.
-
-## Operational notes for first-time deploy
-
-1. `cp .env.example .env` and fill in every value.
-2. `docker compose build`
-3. `docker compose up -d db minio minio-init` — Postgres + MinIO + create
-   buckets.
-4. `docker compose run --rm migrate` — apply Drizzle schema + seed admin /
-   ahmed accounts (one-shot).
-5. `docker compose up -d api web` — boot the API and the SPA.
-6. Front `web` (port `${WEB_PORT}`) with a TLS-terminating reverse proxy.

-The README's "Production checklist" lists the security-relevant steps required

-
-## Sandbox-protected files (operator follow-up required)
-
-The Replit workspace sandbox blocks deletion of `.replit`, `.replitignore`,
-and `replit.nix` from this environment. They are added to `.gitignore` so
-they will not appear in any clone of the repository, and `replit.md` +
-`scripts/post-merge.sh` (which were not sandbox-protected) have been
-deleted. Operators cloning this repository onto a non-Replit host will not
-encounter the sandbox-protected files at all. Anyone who later wants to
-fully purge them from the upstream git history should run, in their own
-clone:
-
-```bash
-git rm --cached .replit .replitignore replit.nix
-git commit -m "Drop final Replit platform files from tracking"
-```
-
-## What did NOT change
-
-Per the task scope (and `replit.md` user preferences before its deletion),
-the following surfaces were intentionally left untouched:
-
-- All API and SPA test files (`artifacts/api-server/tests/**`,
-  `artifacts/tx-os/tests/**`).
-- `lib/db/scripts/**` (DB push/pull scripts).
-- The PDF renderers (`pdf-renderer.ts`, `pdf-html-renderer.ts`).
-- The SPA shell (`App.tsx`, `executive-meetings.tsx`,
-  `upcoming-meeting-alert.tsx`).
-- Locale catalogues (`ar.json`, `en.json`).
-- The auto-generated React-Query client (`custom-fetch.ts`).
-- The Executive Meetings DB schema (`schema/executive-meetings.ts`).
-- Authentication, sessions, rate limiting, and CSRF/CORS middleware — only
-  the storage subsystem was rewritten.

Adding any new endpoint to this list must be a deliberate, reviewed change.
 - **G2 — Server-side authorization.** UI hiding is *not* a permission boundary. Every mutating endpoint and every read of non-public data must enforce its permission server-side, even if the SPA hides the control.
 - **G3 — Cross-user isolation.** A user can never read or modify another user's notes, orders, password, settings, sessions, or notifications unless an explicit share / group / admin permission grants it.

 1. **MR-H1 + MR-H2 + MR-M7** — wire up object-level authorization for `/api/storage/objects/*` and constrain the PDF archive write endpoint. *(Highest user impact; one focused change to `routes/storage.ts` plus a small change to `pdf-archives` write.)*
 2. **MR-H3 + MR-L4** — add `express-rate-limit` on auth endpoints and a per-user socket cap. *(Small library change, big DoS / brute-force win.)*
 3. **MR-M1 + MR-M2** — CSRF posture (move session cookie to `sameSite=strict` if no third-party deep-links, otherwise add a CSRF token middleware) + `req.session.regenerate` on login.
 4. **MR-M3** — add `helmet()` and a basic CSP for the SPA bundle.
