## Summary - Removes the NLP/smart-search feature completely — the feature was too unreliable and slow; users get better results with the regular search filters - Deletes the entire backend `search/` package (NlSearchController, NlQueryParserService, NlpClient, NlSearchRateLimiter — 14 classes + 6 test classes) - Deletes the `nlp-service/` Python microservice (FastAPI, rapidfuzz, DB-backed person matching) - Removes all frontend NL search components: SmartModeToggle, SmartSearchStatus, InterpretationChipRow, DisambiguationPicker, chip-types, theme-chip-removal - Strips smart-mode logic from SearchFilterBar and documents/+page.svelte - Removes `SMART_SEARCH_UNAVAILABLE` / `SMART_SEARCH_RATE_LIMITED` error codes from backend, frontend types, and all three i18n files (de/en/es) - Removes `nlp-service` container and `APP_NLP_BASE_URL` from both docker-compose files - Removes Ollama/NLP Prometheus scrape job and Grafana dashboard - Deletes ADRs 028 (×2), 034, 035 ## Test plan - [ ] Backend compiles: `cd backend && ./mvnw compile -q` → BUILD SUCCESS - [ ] Frontend server tests pass: `cd frontend && npm run test -- --project=server` - [ ] No NLP/smart-search references remain in source: `grep -r "SmartSearch\|NlSearch\|nlp-service\|SMART_SEARCH" backend/src frontend/src` - [ ] `docker compose config` validates both compose files - [ ] Search page loads, filter bar works, no smart-mode toggle visible 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: Marcel <marcel@familienarchiv> Reviewed-on: #772

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- Status (Proposed / Accepted / Deprecated / Superseded)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)
