0. Doc precedence (hard)

When docs disagree, use this order until stale docs are rewritten:

1. docs/TECH-SPEC-PIPELINE.md — deterministic math, image prep, constants, test vectors
2. docs/ARCHITECTURE.md — hybrid topology, what-runs-where, secrets, status machine
3. This AGENTS.md — hard rules for agents
4. docs/DATA-MODEL.md, docs/OPENAPI.md, docs/CONTENT-WOO.md, docs/PROMPTS.md, docs/DEPLOYMENT.md
5. docs/IMPL-PLAN.md — Phase 0 and rewritten Gate C / Phase 1–2 / Phase 6 sections are authoritative. Implement only Phase 0 plus sections marked rewritten. Do not implement deferred stubs (offline PWA, OCR, ruler) or any leftover server happy-path pipeline language.
6. PRD / README — product intent only; do not implement lines that contradict TECH-SPEC, ARCHITECTURE, or this file

Known stale / do-not-implement without rewrite:

• PRD FR17 “Tags: fig-* only” → wrong. Locked model is fig-* (1+) + feat-* (0+). See DATA-MODEL.
• PRD FR19 / overview “species and wood category” pricing → wrong. Species $/bdft only. Category-weighted pricing is deferred (v1.5).
• PRD FR40 “server-side processing” and NFR “server normalization” → wrong. Client owns happy-path measure/crop; server stores drafts and runs U2Net on demand only.
• PRD FR42 / deploy bullets hard-coding .201 → superseded by env-agnostic DEPLOYMENT (inventory + APP_HOSTNAME).
• Older “creds client-side” decision → wrong. Server AES-GCM only; never browser storage for secrets (PRD D15 already corrected; keep this lock).
• PRD / README offline-first PWA / OCR / ruler → superseded by hybrid + online-only MVP.
• CONTENT-WOO / DEPLOYMENT older “pending” create default → superseded: UAT uses Woo draft + SLAB-UAT-*.

1. Topology (locked — hybrid)

Client (SvelteKit) owns the happy path:

• Capture 1–5 photos
• Sheet detect + chroma-key / black threshold + sliders (sensitivity, edge offset, feather)
• Mask overlay + user confirm before measurement
• Length axis overlay (rotate / confirm)
• sqft, bdft, 6" width samples
• 3:4 transparent PNG, 80% fill at extremes, shorter side ≥ 1600 when source allows
• Draft payload: originals + processed PNGs + length/thickness/SKU/sqft/bdft/widths

Server (FastAPI) owns:

• Store drafts / settings / taxonomy cache
• U2Net on demand only (“Try harder” / coverage failure) — one photo in, mask out; sliders still apply on client
• WooCommerce (taxonomy sync, SKU check, create product) — browser never calls Woo
• Inference proxy (Call 1 / Call 2) — keys never in browser
• Prompt files (server text files, read fresh)

Happy path never leaves the phone until the user continues after confirmed mask + numbers.

2. What NOT to build (early phases / MVP)

Deferred / killed for early phases	Notes
Offline capture / PWA / IndexedDB sync	Online-only MVP
OCR (SKU)	Manual SKU entry
Ruler detection / OpenCV on client for scale	Manual length; scale = longest_axis_px / L
Server-side happy-path pipeline	No server chroma-key / crop / bdft math as SoT
Fake upscale / inventing pixels	Warn + retake if < 1600 after crop
LoRA / fine-tune	Deferred
Figure-/category-weighted pricing	v1.5
Auto-dimension overlay	v1.5
Bulk publish, staff roles, analytics, SKU update path	Non-goals

---

3. Deterministic core (non-negotiable)

Encode TECH-SPEC exactly:

• bdft = sqft × thickness_in (identity: 1 sqft @ 1" = 1 bdft). No /12.
• Units: inches in 1/8" steps; sqft/bdft 2 decimals; price half-up 2 decimals.
• Manual length, thickness, SKU, price always win.
• Image prep: sheet/sliders → mask confirm → length axis confirm → 3:4 PNG / 80% fill / ≥1600px when source allows.
• No inventing pixels. No fake upscale. Undersized source → warn + retake; photo not publishable until retake.
• Pricing: species $/bdft from Settings, seeded by Woo species sync; rec = bdft × price_per_bdft; user override sticks; missing rule → empty rec, manual allowed.
• Port TECH-SPEC TV-1 through TV-10 (including TV-10 Rounding). Client (or shared pure modules the client uses) is authoritative for math; server stores client-sent numbers — does not recompute as SoT. Depth: docs/TECH-SPEC-PIPELINE.md.

---

4. Secrets & settings

Never in browser storage / JS bundles:

• Woo consumer key + secret
• Inference base URL + API key
• AES master key (SLAB_AES_KEY env only; never in DB or repo)

Server: AES-GCM at rest in SQLite for Woo + inference secrets. Settings UI POSTs to FastAPI; server encrypts. All Woo and inference calls are server-side.

Browser may persist (non-secret): sheet mode, sensitivity, edge offset, feather (localStorage OK; reset-to-default required).

---

5. Woo UAT & create status (Ty locked 2026-08-31)

• Store: PROD www.whidbeywoodstore.com
• Mid-phase UAT creates: Woo status draft, SKU prefix SLAB-UAT-*
• Settings field woo_create_status: draft | publish, default draft
• Hard rule: if SKU matches SLAB-UAT-*, force Woo draft even if Settings say publish
• Final POC success: one real (non-UAT) SKU → Woo publish only after Ty review
• Duplicate SKU → stop, surface error; no edit-same-SKU in MVP
• After successful publish: purge originals + processed images on server
• Do not conflate with slab lifecycle status (below)

---

6. Inference (inside POC, sequenced)

• Feature-flagged; full suite must pass with inference OFF.
• Gate C claimable path: inference OFF; manual taxonomy + deterministic numbers + Woo draft path.
• Call 1 (vision) / Call 2 (text) only after Gate C is green, still inside overall POC before “done” — not post-POC.
• Call 1 auto only if inference_enabled; Call 2 never auto-fires (user taps Generate text).
• LoRA deferred. No numeric/dimension invention by LLM; templates inject deterministic numbers.

---

7. Slab status machine (app-internal only)

draft → calibrated → ready → publishing → published (or failed with detail).

• calibrated: mask + axis confirmed; length/thickness/SKU entered; client computed sqft/bdft/widths; draft uploaded.
• ready: mandatory fields filled (manual and/or Call 1); inference optional.
• Inference does not gate publish.
• Never confuse slab draft with Woo draft (woo_create_status).

---

8. Test & delivery expectations

• No feature without a passing test and shown execution output (PR/commit message).
• Deterministic core unit-tested before UI consumes it.
• One phase = reviewable, shippable increment; Ty exit-gates phases.
• Phase naming: Phase 0–6 stay delivery chapters. Phase 0 = Gates A+B. Gate C = early Phase 1 claimable publish slice.
• Do not write secrets, real Woo keys, or AES keys into the repo.
• Prefer fixing docs when code and locked decisions diverge — do not silently reintroduce /12, offline, ruler, or server happy-path pipeline.

---

9. Deploy sketch (see DEPLOYMENT.md)

• Target: inventoried Docker host. Docker Compose (frontend + fastapi) + Caddy → https://${APP_HOSTNAME} (LAN/Tailscale).
• Fill deploy/INVENTORY.md before binding ports or merging Caddy (co-resident apps can collide; bolt.diy is one example).
• Health: GET https://${APP_HOSTNAME}/api/health.
• Inference is a remote configurable endpoint, not on the app host by default.
• Historical lab IP/hostname examples in older notes are non-normative.
