# CLAUDE.md This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository. ## Prerequisites Before setting up the project, ensure you have the following installed: - Elixir 1.17+ - Erlang/OTP - PostgreSQL with PostGIS extension ## Project Overview This is an Elixir Phoenix LiveView application that serves as a real-time APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) tracker and visualizer. It connects to the APRS-IS network to receive live amateur radio packets and displays them on an interactive map interface. ## Development Commands ### Setup - `mix setup` - Complete project setup (deps.get + ecto.setup) - `mix deps.get` - Install dependencies - `mix ecto.setup` - Create database, run migrations, and seed data - `mix ecto.reset` - Drop and recreate database - `mix phx.server` - Start Phoenix server (http://localhost:4000) - `iex -S mix phx.server` - Start server in interactive Elixir shell ### Testing - `mix test` - Run full test suite - `mix test --stale` - Run only tests affected by code changes - `mix test.watch` - Continuous testing with file watching - `mix test --cover` - Generate test coverage reports ### Code Quality - `mix format` - Format code according to .formatter.exs - `mix credo` - Static code analysis and style checking - `mix dialyzer` - Static type analysis (must run and fix errors/warnings) - `mix sobelow` - Security vulnerability scanning - **CRITICAL**: ALWAYS run `mix format` BEFORE committing - never commit unformatted code - **MANDATORY**: Run `mix compile --warnings-as-errors` and ensure it passes before considering any task complete ### Assets (No Node.js Required) - `mix assets.deploy` - Build and minify frontend assets (Tailwind CSS + ESBuild) - Phoenix uses standalone ESBuild and Tailwind binaries - no npm/yarn needed - JavaScript bundling handled by ESBuild - CSS compilation handled by Tailwind CLI ## Architecture ### Core Components - **Aprsme.AprsIsConnection** - TCP connection to APRS-IS network with reconnection logic - **Aprsme.PacketConsumer** - Processes incoming APRS packets using GenStage pipeline - **Aprsme.Packet** - Database schema for APRS packets with PostGIS geographic data - **AprsmeWeb.MapLive.Index** - Main real-time map interface using Phoenix LiveView - **Aprsme.Workers.PacketCleanupWorker** - Oban background job for data cleanup ### Data Flow 1. APRS-IS connection receives packets via TCP 2. PacketConsumer processes packets through GenStage pipeline 3. Packets stored in PostgreSQL with PostGIS geographic indexing 4. LiveView broadcasts real-time updates to connected clients via PubSub 5. Background workers handle cleanup and maintenance tasks ### Key Dependencies - Phoenix LiveView for real-time UI without JavaScript - PostGIS for geographic data storage and spatial queries - Oban for background job processing - GenStage for packet processing pipelines - Tailwind CSS + ESBuild for frontend assets (no Node.js) ## Test-Driven Development **MANDATORY**: Follow strict test-driven development (TDD) practices: **CRITICAL**: When a new feature or bug is introduced, ALWAYS write a test for it FIRST, then write the code to satisfy the test. This is non-negotiable. 1. **Red Phase**: Write failing tests first before implementing any functionality 2. **Green Phase**: Write minimal code to make tests pass 3. **Refactor Phase**: Improve code while keeping tests green ### TDD Workflow - **ALWAYS** write tests before implementing new features or fixing bugs - When addressing a bug, first write a test that reproduces the bug (it should fail) - When adding a feature, first write tests that define the expected behavior - Start with the simplest failing test case - Write only enough code to make the test pass - Refactor with confidence knowing tests will catch regressions - Run `mix test` frequently during development - Use `mix test.watch` for continuous feedback ### Testing Patterns Tests use comprehensive mocking to prevent external connections: - APRS-IS connections are mocked in test environment - Database uses sandbox mode for isolation - External API calls mocked with Mox library - Write unit tests for business logic, integration tests for workflows - Test edge cases and error conditions thoroughly - Maintain high test coverage with `mix test --cover` ## Code Style Guidelines - **CRITICAL**: Never write production code without tests first - Use LiveView for UI interactions, minimize JavaScript - Prefer pattern matching over if/case statements - Follow idiomatic Elixir conventions - **CRITICAL**: ALWAYS run `mix format` BEFORE committing - this is non-negotiable - Address any compiler warnings - Run `mix dialyzer` and fix all errors/warnings - **MANDATORY**: Run `mix compile --warnings-as-errors` and ensure it passes before considering any task complete - Use function composition over nested conditionals - Write descriptive test names that explain behavior ### Pre-Commit Checklist **CRITICAL**: NEVER commit or push code with syntax errors or compilation failures. Always validate before committing. **MANDATORY PRE-COMMIT STEPS** - Must be executed in this exact order before EVERY git commit: 1. **`mix format`** - ALWAYS run this FIRST before any git operations - This formats all Elixir code according to project standards - **NEVER skip this step** - unformatted code should never be committed 2. **`mix compile --warnings-as-errors`** - ensure no warnings or compilation errors - Must pass with zero warnings and zero errors 3. **`mix test`** - ensure all tests pass (at minimum, ensure no syntax/compilation errors) - At minimum verify no compilation failures even if some tests fail 4. **MANDATORY**: If any step fails, fix the issues before proceeding 5. Only after ALL checks pass should you commit and push your changes **NEVER PUSH BROKEN CODE**: Syntax errors, compilation failures, or basic test failures should be fixed immediately before any git operations. Pushing broken code breaks CI/CD pipelines and wastes deployment resources. **REMEMBER**: Always run `mix format` before every commit - this is non-negotiable and must become automatic habit. ## Important Documentation Updates - **MANDATORY**: Whenever you implement improvements or changes to the system: 1. Update `/CHANGELOG.md` with: - Add new entries under `[Unreleased]` section - Use categories: Added, Changed, Fixed, Removed - Be specific and user-focused in descriptions 2. Update `/docs/improvement-todos.md` with: - Mark completed items as done with the implementation date - Add any new improvements discovered during implementation - Update priority levels based on new insights - Document any technical decisions or trade-offs made - This ensures continuity across sessions and helps track progress on system improvements ## Web Testing - **MANDATORY**: When viewing any website or web application, always use Puppeteer to take screenshots and interact with the page - Use `mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_navigate`, `mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot`, and other Puppeteer tools - This ensures accurate visual feedback and proper testing of the user interface ## Deployment The application supports Kubernetes deployment with manifests in `k8s/` directory and GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline. Database migrations run automatically via init containers. ### Infrastructure The application runs on a highly available infrastructure: - **Kubernetes**: k3s cluster deployed across 3 VMs - **Virtualization**: Proxmox VE hosting the VMs - **Hardware**: 3 Intel N100 nodes, each with: - 32GB RAM - 1TB SSD storage - Low power consumption (~15W per node) - **Distribution**: VMs spread across physical nodes for hardware redundancy ### Kubernetes Commands The app is deployed in a k3s cluster with the following structure: - **App name**: `aprs` - **Namespace**: `aprs` - **Deployment**: StatefulSet with 2-3 replicas - **Manifests**: Located in `~/dev/infra/clusters/aprs/` Common kubectl commands for debugging: ```bash # Check pod status kubectl get pods -n aprs # Get logs from the app kubectl logs -f deployment/aprs -n aprs # Get logs from a specific pod kubectl logs -n aprs # Describe pod for events and details kubectl describe pod -n aprs # Restart the statefulset kubectl rollout restart statefulset/aprs -n aprs # Check statefulset status kubectl rollout status statefulset/aprs -n aprs # Execute commands in the pod (StatefulSet) kubectl exec -it aprs-0 -n aprs -- /app/bin/aprsme remote # Check cluster membership kubectl exec -it -n aprs -- /app/bin/aprsme eval "Node.list()" # Check leader status kubectl exec -it -n aprs -- /app/bin/aprsme eval "Aprsme.Cluster.LeaderElection.is_leader?()" ``` ### Clustering Architecture The application uses distributed Erlang clustering to ensure only one APRS-IS connection across multiple replicas: 1. **StatefulSet Deployment**: - Uses Kubernetes StatefulSet for stable pod names (aprs-0, aprs-1, etc.) - Headless service provides DNS entries for each pod - Stable network identities enable Erlang distribution 2. **Leader Election**: Uses `:global` registry for distributed leader election - Only the elected leader maintains the APRS-IS connection - Automatic failover when leader goes down - Leader election managed by `Aprsme.Cluster.LeaderElection` 3. **Connection Management**: - `Aprsme.Cluster.ConnectionManager` starts/stops APRS-IS based on leadership - Uses `DynamicSupervisor` to manage connection lifecycle - Prevents duplicate connections and packet processing 4. **Cluster Configuration**: - Uses `libcluster` with Kubernetes.DNS strategy - Automatic node discovery via headless service - Erlang cookie configured via RELEASE_COOKIE environment variable - Environment variables: - `CLUSTER_ENABLED=true` - Enables clustering - `RELEASE_NODE` - Erlang node name - `RELEASE_COOKIE` - Erlang distribution cookie 4. **Deployment**: - Default replicas: 3 (configurable in `aprs-deployment.yaml`) - Only leader processes APRS packets - All nodes serve web traffic ## 1Password Integration When working with passwords and secrets: - **ALWAYS** use 1Password account ID: `YOOATCZZSVGH7AD6VABUVPORLI` - Store all passwords, API keys, and secrets in 1Password - Use the `op` CLI tool for programmatic access - Never hardcode passwords in configuration files
