-# Appwrite Console - Copilot Instructions
+# Appwrite Console
-## Repository Overview
+SvelteKit web dashboard for Appwrite. Manages projects, databases, functions, auth, storage, messaging, and sites. Static SPA (no SSR) served behind Nginx at `/console`.
-Appwrite Console is the web-based GUI for the Appwrite backend-as-a-service platform. Single-page application built with
-**Svelte 5 + SvelteKit 2**, **TypeScript** (not strict mode), **Vite 7**, tested with **Vitest + Playwright**. Package
-manager/runtime: **Bun** (Node 20+ optional for tooling). ~1500 files with extensive component-based architecture.
+## Commands
-## Critical Build & Test Commands
+All commands use **bun** (not pnpm/npm). Use `bun run
+```
-**Unit (Bun test)**: Tests in `src/lib/helpers/*.test.ts`, run with `TZ=EST` (timezone matters). Setup mocks SvelteKit (
-`$app/*`) in `bun-test-setup.ts` via `bunfig.toml`.
-**E2E (Playwright)**: Tests in `e2e/journeys/*.spec.ts`, needs build+preview on port 4173, retries 3x, timeout 120s,
-Chromium only.
+Runes (Svelte 5 -- preferred for new and modified code):
-## Common Pitfalls
+```svelte
+
+```
-## Code Conventions
+### SDK usage (`src/lib/stores/sdk.ts`)
-- Imports: Use `$lib`, `$routes`, `$themes` aliases
-- Components: PascalCase, in `src/lib/components/[feature]/`
-- Helpers: Pure functions in `src/lib/helpers/`
-- Types: Inline or `.d.ts`, not `.types.ts` files
-- Comments: Minimal, use for TODOs or complex logic
-- TypeScript: Not strict mode, `any` tolerated
+Four client instances: `clientConsole` (console API), `scopedConsoleClient` (region-scoped console API, used by `forConsoleIn()`), `clientProject` (project API, admin mode), `clientRealtime` (realtime subscriptions). Region-aware endpoints with subdomain routing (fra., nyc., syd., sfo., sgp., tor.).
-## Workflow
+```typescript
+import { sdk } from '$lib/stores/sdk';
-1. Run Appwrite backend locally (see [docs](https://appwrite.io/docs/advanced/self-hosting))
-2. Configure `.env` with backend endpoint
-3. `bun install --frozen-lockfile`
-4. `bun run dev` (hot reload on port 3000)
-5. Before commit: `bun run check && bun run format && bun run lint && bun run test && bun run build`
-6. **Take screenshots**: For any UI changes, capture screenshots and include them in the PR description or comments
- before finalizing
+// Console-level operations
+await sdk.forConsole.account.get();
-## Required Pre-Completion Checklist
+// Region-scoped console operations
+await sdk.forConsoleIn(region).projects.get({ projectId });
-**CRITICAL**: Before finishing any work or marking a task complete, agents MUST run the following commands in order and
-ensure all pass:
+// Project-level operations (admin mode)
+await sdk.forProject(region, projectId).tablesDB.listTables();
+```
-1. **`bun run format`** - Auto-fix all formatting issues
-2. **`bun run check`** - Verify TypeScript/Svelte types (must show 0 errors, 0 warnings)
-3. **`bun run lint`** - Check code style (ignore pre-existing issues in files you didn't modify)
-4. **`bun run test`** - Run all unit tests (all tests must pass)
-5. **`bun run build`** - Ensure production build succeeds
+### Database types (feat-dedicated-db)
-If any command fails:
+The databases feature unifies multiple database backends behind a polymorph API (`$database/(entity)/helpers/sdk.ts`):
-- **Format/Lint**: Run `bun run format` to auto-fix, then re-check
-- **Type errors**: Fix all TypeScript errors in files you modified
-- **Test failures**: Fix failing tests or ensure failures are unrelated to your changes
-- **Build failures**: Debug and resolve build issues before proceeding
+| Type | Entity | Field | Record | Status |
+| ------------- | ---------- | --------- | -------- | ------------------------ |
+| `tablesdb` | table | column | row | Implemented |
+| `documentsdb` | collection | attribute | document | Implemented |
+| `vectorsdb` | -- | -- | -- | Not yet implemented |
+| `dedicateddb` | table | column | row | Cross-repo (cloud/edge) |
-**Never skip these checks** - they are mandatory quality gates before any work is considered complete.
+- `useDatabaseSdk()` returns a unified interface regardless of backing type
+- `useTerminology()` returns singular/plural names for the current database type
-**Trust these instructions** - only search if incomplete/incorrect. See CONTRIBUTING.md for PR conventions. Use
-`--frozen-lockfile` always. Docker builds: multi-stage, final image is nginx serving static files from `/console` path.
+### Data loading
+
+Load functions declare dependencies for cache invalidation via `depends()`:
+
+```typescript
+export const load: LayoutLoad = async ({ depends, parent, params }) => {
+ depends(Dependencies.DATABASE);
+ return { database: await sdk.forProject(...).tablesDB.get(...) };
+};
+```
+
+Invalidate with `await invalidate(Dependencies.DATABASE)` after mutations. The `Dependencies` enum in `src/lib/constants.ts` defines 66+ keys for fine-grained cache invalidation (e.g. `DATABASES`, `TABLES`, `FUNCTIONS`, `USERS`, `DEPLOYMENTS`).
+
+### State management
+
+Stores in `src/lib/stores/` -- writable, derived, and "conservative" (selective update via `createConservative()` from `$lib/helpers/stores`) patterns. Key stores: `app`, `user`, `organization`, `projects`, `billing`, `wizard`, `notifications`, `sdk`.
+
+### Wizard pattern (`$lib/stores/wizard`)
+
+Modal wizard flow: `wizard.start(Component, media?, step?, props?)` to open, `wizard.hide()` to close. Methods: `setInterceptor(callback)` for async pre-step validation, `setNextDisabled(bool)` for flow control, `setStep(n)` / `updateStep(cb)` for navigation, `showCover(Component)` for overlays.
+
+### Notifications (`$lib/stores/notifications`)
+
+```typescript
+import { addNotification } from '$lib/stores/notifications';
+addNotification({ type: 'error', message: error.message });
+```
+
+Types: `'success' | 'error' | 'info' | 'warning'`. Auto-dismisses after 6s. Max 5 visible.
+
+### Analytics (`$lib/actions/analytics`)
+
+Plausible + custom Growth endpoint. Track events via `trackEvent(Click.* | Submit.*, data)` and errors via `trackError(exception, Submit.*)`. Respects `navigator.doNotTrack`.
+
+### Theming and modes
+
+Four theme variants in `src/themes/`: `light`, `dark`, `light-cloud`, `dark-cloud`. Resolved based on `isCloud` flag and user preference. Two modes (`src/lib/system.ts`): `cloud` and `self-hosted`, set via `PUBLIC_CONSOLE_MODE` env var. Gate features using `isCloud` (for cloud-only) or `isSelfHosted` (for self-hosted-only).
+
+## Code style
+
+- **Formatter:** Prettier -- 4 spaces, single quotes, no trailing commas, 100 char width, bracket same line
+- **Prefer Svelte 5 runes** in new and modified code (`$props()`, `$state()`, `$derived()`, `$effect()`)
+- Types from `@appwrite.io/console` SDK (`Models`, `Query`, enums) -- don't redefine what the SDK provides
+- Error handling: try/catch with `addNotification()` for user-facing errors, `trackError()` for analytics
+- Queries use the SDK's `Query` builder: `Query.equal()`, `Query.limit()`, `Query.offset()`, etc.
+- Mark tech debt with `@todo` annotations, never `@fixme`
+- Don't add new dependencies without consulting the team
+
+## Environment variables
+
+Set via `.env` (copy `.env.example`). All prefixed with `PUBLIC_` for SvelteKit:
+
+| Variable | Default | Purpose |
+| ------------------------------------ | --------------------- | ------------------------------ |
+| `PUBLIC_CONSOLE_MODE` | `self-hosted` | `cloud` or `self-hosted` |
+| `PUBLIC_APPWRITE_ENDPOINT` | `http://localhost/v1` | API endpoint |
+| `PUBLIC_APPWRITE_MULTI_REGION` | `false` | Multi-region support |
+| `PUBLIC_STRIPE_KEY` | -- | Stripe public key (cloud only) |
+| `PUBLIC_GROWTH_ENDPOINT` | -- | Analytics endpoint |
+| `PUBLIC_CONSOLE_FEATURE_FLAGS` | -- | Feature flags |
+| `PUBLIC_CONSOLE_EMAIL_VERIFICATION` | `false` | Require email verification |
+| `PUBLIC_CONSOLE_MOCK_AI_SUGGESTIONS` | `true` | Mock AI in dev |
+
+## Common pitfalls
+
+- **Blank page in dev:** Disable ad blockers if seeing "Failed to fetch dynamically imported module"
+- **OOM on build:** Set `NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=8192`
+- **Test failures:** Always use `bun run tests` (runs test:unit with TZ=EST, plus test:e2e), not `bun test` directly
+- **TS errors not showing:** Run `bun run check` explicitly (dev server doesn't always surface them)
+- **Format vs lint conflicts:** Run `bun run format` before `bun run lint`
+- **Stale build:** Clear `.svelte-kit` if changes not reflected: `rm -rf .svelte-kit && bun run build`
+
+## Branch naming
+
+`TYPE-ISSUE_ID-DESCRIPTION` (e.g. `feat-548-add-backup-ui`). Types: feat, fix, doc, cicd, refactor.
+
+## Cross-repo context
+
+The `feat-dedicated-db` feature spans cloud, edge, and console. When modifying API contracts or response models, check the other repos for breaking changes.
