Marcel 9adde3cd89 refactor(compose): rename docker network archive-net to archiv-net
The docker network was the only `archive-*` identifier in either
compose file; everything else (user, db, bucket, service account,
project name) uses the `archiv-*` spelling. Reviewers' eyes stuttered
on it on the prod compose review (round 2 of PR #499 — Markus and
Tobi). Renamed in both prod and dev compose for consistency and
updated the single doc reference to the dev-project-prefixed
network name.

Operational note: applying this change to a running stack will
recreate the network on the next `docker compose up`; containers
restart, named volumes are unaffected.

`docker compose config --quiet` passes for both compose files and
for the staging profile. Sweep confirms zero `archive-net`
references remain in the tree.

docs/

Project documentation organised into four categories: architecture decision records (ADRs), system architecture diagrams, infrastructure runbooks, and detailed UI/UX specifications.

ADR (adr/)

Architecture Decision Records capture major technical decisions and their rationale.

ADR Title Status
001-ocr-python-microservice.md OCR as a separate Python container Accepted
002-polygon-jsonb-storage.md Polygon coordinates in JSONB columns Accepted
003-chronik-unified-activity-feed.md Unified activity feed (Chronik) Accepted

When making a significant architectural change (new service, data model change, technology swap), write a new ADR:

  • Status (Proposed / Accepted / Deprecated / Superseded)
  • Context (forces at play)
  • Decision (what we decided)
  • Consequences (trade-offs)
  • Alternatives Considered (table format)

ADRs are sequential (NNN-descriptive-name.md). Do not reuse numbers.

Architecture (architecture/)

Contains C4 model diagrams describing the system at different zoom levels:

  • Context diagram — How Familienarchiv fits into the user and system ecosystem
  • Container diagram — The high-level technology choices (Spring Boot, SvelteKit, PostgreSQL, MinIO, OCR service)
  • Component diagram — Major structural components within the backend

Written in Markdown with embedded Mermaid diagrams (c4-diagrams.md). Gitea renders these automatically.

For the human-readable architecture narrative, see docs/ARCHITECTURE.md.

Infrastructure (infrastructure/)

Operational documentation for running Familienarchiv in production and CI.

Document Purpose
ci-gitea.md Gitea CI/CD pipeline configuration
production-compose.md Production Docker Compose setup and VPS provisioning
s3-migration.md Migrating documents between S3 buckets
self-hosted-catalogue.md Self-hosted software catalogue

For the day-1 deployment checklist, see docs/DEPLOYMENT.md.

Specs (specs/)

High-fidelity UI/UX specifications written as standalone HTML files. These are design documents describing exact layout, interactions, and responsive behavior before implementation.

Each spec typically includes:

  • Visual mockups with CSS-in-HTML styling
  • Interaction flows and state transitions
  • Responsive breakpoint behavior
  • Accessibility requirements

Before implementing a feature, check specs/ for an existing specification.

Style Guide

docs/STYLEGUIDE.md covers:

  • Code formatting and linting rules
  • Component naming conventions
  • Color palette and typography
  • Accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA)
