## 5. Database

### Connection Info
- **Host:** `10.10.0.1` (internal) / `localhost` (from server)
- **Port:** 3306
- **Engine:** MariaDB 10.11.14

### Databases
| Database | Used By | Purpose |
|----------|---------|---------|
| `payfrit` | biz, api, food (cross-ref) | Main production data |
| `payfrit_dev` | biz, api | Development mirror |
| `payfrit_food` | food | Food product intelligence |

### Key Tables (Main DB)
- **Users** — All user accounts (shared across all products)
- **UserTokens** — Session tokens for API auth
- **Businesses** — Restaurant/venue profiles
- **Orders** / **OrderLineItems** — Order data with modifier support
- **Items** / **Categories** / **Menus** — Menu structure
- **Tasks** — Work items (kitchen prep, delivery, etc.)
- **Employees** — Staff assignments
- **ServicePoints** — Tables/locations within a business
- **Beacons** — BLE hardware registry
- **Tabs** / **TabMembers** — Running tab system
- **Workers** / **WorkPayoutLedgers** — Gig worker payouts
- **ChatMessages** — Order/task communication

### Important: Modifier Virtual IDs
Menu items use a **virtual ID system** for modifiers:
- Templates are Items with `ParentItemID=0, CategoryID=0`
- Linked to menu items via `lt_ItemID_TemplateItemID`
- API returns `virtualID = menuItemID * 100000 + templateItemID`
- To decode: `realItemID = virtualID MOD 100000`

---

## 6. Authentication

All products share the same auth system:

### OTP Login Flow
```
POST /api/auth/sendOTP    →  { ContactNumber: "5551234567" }
                          ←  SMS sent via Twilio

POST /api/auth/verifyOTP  →  { ContactNumber: "5551234567", Code: "123456" }
                          ←  { Token: "abc123...", UserID: 42, ... }
```

### Using the Token
```
GET /api/orders/history
Headers:
  X-User-Token: abc123...
  X-Business-ID: 5          (optional, for business context)
```

### Dev Shortcuts
- **Magic OTP:** `123456` works for any number (App Store review + dev)
- **Magic phones:** `5555555555`, `0000000000`
- **Dev token expiry:** 720 hours (vs 24h in prod)

## 7. Payment System (Stripe)

### Current Mode: TEST
```
Test Public Key: pk_test_sPBNzSyJ9HcEPJGC7dSo8NqN
```

### Fee Structure
| Fee | Rate |
|-----|------|
| Customer service fee | 5% |
| Business fee | 5% |
| Stripe processing | 2.9% + $0.30 |

### Payment Flow
1. Client calls `POST /api/stripe/createPaymentIntent` with order details
2. Stripe returns `clientSecret`
3. Client confirms payment with Stripe.js
4. Stripe fires webhook → order marked paid → kitchen tasks created → worker payouts queued

### Stripe Connect
Businesses and workers each have Stripe Connected Accounts for receiving payouts.

---

## 8. Deployment

### How Deploys Work
1. Push to Forgejo (`git.payfrit.com`)
2. Forgejo webhook hits `/_webhook/deploy.php`
3. Webhook validates `X-Forgejo-Signature`
4. Creates trigger file → server pulls latest
5. **Live in ~1 minute**

### Environment Detection
- **Dev:** `hostname != "biz"` → uses `payfrit_dev` DB, debug ON, detailed errors
- **Prod:** `hostname == "biz"` → uses `payfrit` DB, debug OFF, generic errors

### Key Differences: Dev vs Prod
| Setting | Dev | Prod |
|---------|-----|------|
| Database | `payfrit_dev` | `payfrit` |
| Debug logging | ON | OFF |
| Error details | Full stack traces | Generic message |
| Rate limiting | OFF | 60 req/min |
| Email routing | Catch-all to dev-emails@ | Real recipients |
| Token expiry | 720 hours | 24 hours |

## 9. The Bot Team

Payfrit runs 11 AI agents powered by Claude, coordinated through Mattermost. Each bot:
- Has its own Linux user and workspace (`/home/<name>/workspace/`)
- Runs as a systemd service (`payfrit-bot@<name>.service`)
- Has a role-specific prompt in its `CLAUDE.md`
- Maintains persistent memory (`memory.json`) and conversation history

### Team Roster
| Agent | Handle | Role | Key Skills |
|-------|--------|------|------------|
| Alex | @alex | Weedops | Cannabis ops |
| Ava | @ava | Designer | UI/UX design |
| Jude | @jude | WordPress | WordPress dev |
| Kira | @kira | General Agent | Research, scripts, docs, coordination |
| Koda | @koda | Kotlin/Android | Android development |
| Luna | @luna | QA & Testing | Testing, quality assurance |
| Mike | @mike | Backend | Backend development |
| Nora | @nora | Sponsor Portal | Sponsor features |
| Priya | @priya | HR & Operations | Team ops, coordination |
| Schwifty | @schwifty | DevOps | Infrastructure, deployment |
| Zara | @zara | User Portal | User-facing features |

### Working With Bots
- **@mention** a bot in Mattermost to assign it work
- Bots respond within seconds (10s poll cycle)
- Bots can see ambient messages in their channels
- Max 3 thread replies unless directly @mentioned
- Each bot has real file system access to its workspace

### Bot Management
```bash
# Check a bot's status
systemctl status payfrit-bot@kira

# View bot logs
tail -f /var/log/payfrit-bots/kira.log

# Restart a bot
sudo systemctl restart payfrit-bot@schwifty

# List all bot services
systemctl list-units 'payfrit-bot@*'
```

## 10. Common Dev Tasks

### Checking Server Health
```bash
# System resources
htop

# Disk usage
df -h

# MariaDB status
systemctl status mariadb

# Apache status
systemctl status apache2

# Cloud API health
curl http://localhost:3100/api/health
```

### Working With the Database
```bash
# Connect to MariaDB
mysql -u <user> -p

# Switch databases
USE payfrit_dev;

# Check recent orders
SELECT ID, UUID, StatusID, CreatedAt FROM Orders ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 10;
```

### Testing API Endpoints
```bash
# Get a token (dev - use magic OTP)
curl -X POST https://dev.payfrit.com/api/auth/sendOTP \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"ContactNumber": "5555555555"}'

curl -X POST https://dev.payfrit.com/api/auth/verifyOTP \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"ContactNumber": "5555555555", "Code": "123456"}'

# Use the token
curl https://dev.payfrit.com/api/businesses/list \
  -H "X-User-Token: <your-token>"
```

### Viewing Bot Orchestration

## 13. Development Workflow

1. **Clone** the repo from `git.payfrit.com`
2. **Branch** off main for your feature
3. **Develop** — test against `dev.payfrit.com` / `payfrit_dev` DB
4. **Push** to Forgejo → auto-deploys to dev
5. **Test** on dev environment
6. **Merge** to main → auto-deploys to production
7. **Coordinate** via Mattermost — tag relevant bots/people

### Git Server
```bash
git clone https://git.payfrit.com/payfrit/payfrit-biz.git
git clone https://git.payfrit.com/payfrit/payfrit-api.git
```

## Tips

- **No frameworks** — everything is vanilla. Read the code directly, no magic.
- **CFML is weird** — if you haven't seen ColdFusion before, it's tag-based server scripting. Lucee is the open-source engine. `queryExecute()` is your friend.
- **The bots are real** — they have actual file system access and can make changes. Treat their @mentions like pinging a teammate.
- **Stripe is in TEST mode** — use Stripe test card `4242 4242 4242 4242` for payments.
- **Ask in Mattermost** — if you're stuck, @mention the right bot or ask in the relevant channel.
