Docs - docs/ARCHITECTURE.md: how the pieces fit and why. The request path, the six enforced layers, the data model, the scanner, the job queue, direct-play playback, and the three protocol surfaces over one application. - docs/decisions/: seven ADRs with the alternatives that were rejected — SQLite-with-a-seam, direct-play-only, mark-missing-never-delete, the modular monolith, the one item-access chokepoint, the table-backed queue, and fixed-width timestamps. - README: the layout section was stale (it predated catalog, home, scanner, providers, engine, probe, playback, apitoken, arch and the dto packages) and now lists what exists, plus links to the new docs. Two real bugs, both found by verifying the docs instead of trusting them 1. The CLI could not run on a fresh install. `Config.Validate` created the data and config directories, but the CLI never called it, so `vellum user add` — the recovery path when you are locked out — failed with "unable to open database file" until the server had booted at least once. Split the directory creation into `Config.EnsureDirs`, call it from the CLI, and keep the media root check out of it: an admin command must not fail because a library is unmounted. The CLI tests now point DBPath inside DataDir, exactly as LoadConfig derives it, so they exercise the fresh-install path; removing EnsureDirs fails three of them. 2. A fresh clone could not build at all. `//go:embed all:dist` fails to compile when web/dist is absent, and web/.gitignore expected a `dist/.gitkeep` that was never created. Added it, so a clone builds and the server logs "web UI not embedded; run the frontend build to include it" — the intended behaviour for someone who only wants the API. Also: the httpapi tests depended on a built frontend and FAILED rather than skipping, so the suite was red on any fresh clone. findAsset and readAsset now skip with a message naming the missing step. They still RUN when a bundle is present (verified: zero skips here), so they have not been quietly disabled. Verified from a simulated clone of tracked files only: go build exit 0, 25 packages pass, the server boots and applies all 12 migrations, and the CLI creates a user and takes a backup. gofmt clean, vet exit 0, svelte-check 0/0. |

Vellum web
Svelte 5 + Vite + TypeScript single-page app. It is built to a static bundle in
dist/ and embedded into the Go binary, so all asset paths are relative
(base: './' in vite.config.ts).
Commands
pnpm install
pnpm dev # dev server on :5173, proxying /api to :7788
pnpm build # writes dist/
pnpm check # svelte-check
Run the Go server on :7788 (make run from the repo root) and pnpm dev
proxies API and health requests to it, so cookies and sessions behave exactly
as they will in production.
Layout

App.svelte login gate -> shell
app.css design tokens and base styles

The reader resumes from a spine index, which is why progress positions are
integers: it round-trips through the polymorphic progress table without
needing a text column.
