Add CLAUDE.md and a prominent vibe-coded disclosure in the README
pansy is written by an LLM with a human directing. That belongs near the top of
the README, not in a footnote — someone deciding whether to self-host this and
point it at their own data should know before they decide, not after. The
disclosure says what it actually means in practice (less scrutiny than a
hand-written project, read the code, back up the database) rather than a vague
"AI-assisted" hedge.

CLAUDE.md collects the operational details that otherwise get rediscovered every
session: GOWORK=off, the store/service/api seam and why rules go in the middle
layer, the two unit scales, version-guarded writes, ErrNotFound-as-existence-mask,
the branch/Gadfly/merge/deploy loop, and the env var names that aren't guessable.
It also makes the disclosure a standing rule: if the README is ever rewritten,
that section survives the rewrite, and the only acceptable edit is a clearer one.

# pansy
Self-hostable garden planner: drag beds, bags, and containers onto a real-scale field, click into them to place freeform plops of plants, and zoom out to see what's planted where. Go backend + React frontend, one static binary.
> ### 🤖 This is a vibe-coded project
>
> **Essentially all of the code in pansy was written by an LLM** (Claude), with a human directing the work, reviewing it, and deciding what ships. Every pull request also gets an automated adversarial review before it lands.
>
> That's said up front because you deserve to know it before you trust pansy with anything: it hasn't been through the kind of scrutiny a hand-written, widely-used project has. Read the code before you self-host it. Back up your database. Bugs here are the ordinary kind of bugs, not a scandal — but so is the fact that nobody hand-wrote the thing.
See [DESIGN.md](DESIGN.md) for the architecture. Work is tracked in this repo's issues — start from the tracking epic.
## Quickstart
**Prerequisites:** Go 1.26+, Node 20+.
### Develop
Run the Go API and the Vite dev server together (Vite proxies `/api` → the API):
```sh
make dev
```
Then open http://localhost:5173. Or run the two halves in separate terminals for independent restarts:
```sh
make dev-api # Go API on :8080
make dev-web # Vite dev server on :5173
```
### Build & run
Produce the single static binary with the web build embedded, then run it:
```sh
make build
./pansy
```
Open http://localhost:8080 — one process serves both the JSON API and the app.
### Test
```sh
make test
```
## Configuration
All configuration is via environment variables; every value has a default, so `./pansy` runs with none set.
| Variable | Default | Description |
| ------------------------- | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `PANSY_PORT` | `8080` | TCP port the HTTP server listens on. |
| `PANSY_DB` | `./pansy.db` | SQLite database file path (created if absent). |
| `PANSY_BASE_URL` | *(empty)* | Externally-visible base URL; used to derive the OIDC redirect URI. |
| `PANSY_REGISTRATION` | `open` | `open` or `closed` — gates local self-service signup. |
| `PANSY_LOCAL_AUTH` | `true` | Enable local password auth. Set `false` for pure-OIDC. |
| `PANSY_OIDC_ISSUER` | *(empty)* | OIDC issuer/discovery URL (Authentik). Enables SSO when set. |
| `PANSY_OIDC_CLIENT_ID` | *(empty)* | OIDC client ID. |
| `PANSY_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET`| *(empty)* | OIDC client secret. |
| `PANSY_OIDC_BUTTON_LABEL` | `Sign in with Authentik` | Label for the OIDC button on the login page. |
| `PANSY_TRUSTED_PROXIES` | *(none)* | Comma-separated proxy CIDRs/IPs to trust for client-IP resolution. |
Local email/password auth is live (`POST /api/v1/auth/register`, `/auth/login`, `/auth/logout`, `GET /auth/me`, `GET /auth/providers`); the session is an HttpOnly cookie (`Secure` when `PANSY_BASE_URL` is https). The first account registered becomes admin, and it may register even when `PANSY_REGISTRATION=closed` to bootstrap the instance.
OIDC (Authentik-first) is live too: set `PANSY_OIDC_ISSUER`, `PANSY_OIDC_CLIENT_ID`, `PANSY_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET`, and `PANSY_BASE_URL` (needed for the redirect URI). Register `PANSY_BASE_URL` + `/api/v1/auth/oidc/callback` as the redirect URI in your IdP. `GET /auth/oidc/login` starts an authorization-code + PKCE flow; first login provisions a user just-in-time (a matching *verified* email links to an existing local account instead of duplicating it). Provider discovery is lazy, so a briefly-unreachable IdP never blocks startup or local auth. Set `PANSY_LOCAL_AUTH=false` for pure-Authentik deployments (local register/login are then rejected and hidden from `/auth/providers`).
## Docker & deployment
CI (`.gitea/workflows/build-image.yml`) builds the single-binary image and pushes it to the Gitea registry on every branch push:
| Ref | Tag |
| --- | --- |
| `main` | `gitea.stevedudenhoeffer.com/steve/pansy:latest` |
| any other branch | `gitea.stevedudenhoeffer.com/steve/pansy:<branch-name>` |
| every build | `gitea.stevedudenhoeffer.com/steve/pansy:sha-<short>` (immutable; use to pin) |
The image runs as a non-root user, serves on `:8080`, and stores the SQLite database on the `/data` volume. Run it directly:
```sh
docker run -d --name pansy \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v pansy-data:/data \
gitea.stevedudenhoeffer.com/steve/pansy:latest
```
Or as a Komodo/Compose stack:
```yaml
services:
pansy:
image: gitea.stevedudenhoeffer.com/steve/pansy:${PANSY_TAG:-latest}
ports:
- "8080:8080"
volumes:
- pansy-data:/data
environment:
PANSY_BASE_URL: https://pansy.example.com
# PANSY_OIDC_ISSUER: ... # once auth (#5) lands
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
pansy-data:
```
Pin `PANSY_TAG` to a `sha-<short>` tag for reproducible deploys, or leave it at `latest` to track `main`.
