revert(test): abandon shared-mock dedup — infeasible in vitest browser mode
CI proved cross-file sharing of a virtual-module mock body cannot work in
@vitest/browser-playwright 4.1.6: the static-import spread fails the hoist
("no top level variables"), and the await-vi.hoisted-import form fails to
parse ("Unexpected identifier 'vi'"). vi.hoisted has the same hoist
constraint as vi.mock, so there is no way to thread an external module's
body into the factory here.

Reverts Phase 1: restores the 4 $app/forms/$app/navigation specs to their
inline factories, inlines NotificationBell.spec's forms stub, deletes the
src/__mocks__/$app/* modules and the $mocks alias (vite, vitest-coverage,
kit). The no-factory-ban meta-test stays (no-factory vi.mock is still
banned). ADR-012 amended to record the infeasibility. Everything else
($app/state migration, confirm context-inject, notification refactor, the
pin, the meta-test) is unaffected. Part of #560.

Familienarchiv

Familienarchiv is a private web application for digitising, organising, and searching a family document collection — letters, postcards, and photographs from 1899 to 1950. Family members upload scans, transcribe handwritten text (Kurrent/Sütterlin), and read the archive from any device.


Subsystems

  • frontend/ — SvelteKit 2 / Svelte 5 / TypeScript / Tailwind 4 web app (server-side rendered)
  • backend/ — Spring Boot 4 (Java 21) REST API; handles documents, persons, search, and user management
  • ocr-service/ — Python FastAPI microservice for OCR and handwritten text recognition (HTR); single-node by design — see ADR-001. Not part of the default dev stack (see Quick start below)
  • infra/ — Gitea Actions CI/CD config; future home for infrastructure-as-code
  • scripts/ — operational and data-pipeline helpers (reset-db.sh, clean-e2e-data.sh, import scripts)

Quick start

Prerequisites: Java 21, Node 24, Docker with the docker compose plugin (V2).

1. Configure environment

cp .env.example .env
# The defaults in .env.example work for local development without changes.

2. Start infrastructure

# Starts PostgreSQL, MinIO (object storage), and Mailpit (dev mail catcher)
docker compose up -d db minio mailpit

3. Start the backend

cd backend
./mvnw spring-boot:run
# Starts on http://localhost:8080
# API docs (dev profile, auto-enabled): http://localhost:8080/v3/api-docs

4. Start the frontend

cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev
# Starts on http://localhost:5173

Open http://localhost:5173 — you should see the Familienarchiv login screen.

Default development credentials:

# local dev only — change before any network-exposed deployment
Email:    admin@familyarchive.local
Password: admin123

Development setup only. The default docker compose config exposes the database port and uses root MinIO credentials. Do not connect this to a network without first reading docs/DEPLOYMENT.md (coming: DOC-5, #399).

Running the full stack via Docker (optional)

To run everything including the backend and frontend in containers:

docker compose up -d

Note: the OCR service (ocr-service/) builds its Docker image locally and downloads ~6 GB of ML models on first start. Expect 3060 minutes on a first run. The rest of the stack starts independently; OCR can be excluded with --scale ocr-service=0 on memory-constrained machines (requires ≥ 12 GB RAM).
