# AyaNova v8 front end — instructions for Claude Code

Shared AyaNova context and working rules, from the server repo (the master):
@../raven/CLAUDE.md

Everything below is specific to this repo.

## What this is

The AyaNova v8 web client, in `ayanova/`. Vue 2.6, Vuetify 2.6, Vuex, Vue Router, plain
JavaScript (no TypeScript), Vue CLI 4 / webpack 4. Stack details:
`../raven/devdocs/modernization/CODEBASE-REFERENCE.md`.

## Release 8.3.0

The .NET 10 port is merged into `main` here too (2026-10-23); its only client changes were
the version bump and the Sass `quietDeps` build setting. Release work continues on `main`.
**No changes in this repo** unless John asks. A "next release" case that touches the
client gets its own commits on `main`, under its own case number.

## Constraints

- **Node.js 12.22.9 exactly.** `fibers` breaks on anything newer. Check with `node -v` before building.
- **No dependency changes**: no `npm install <package>`, no `npm update`, no version edits in `package.json`. Front-end upgrades are roadmap step F, not current work.
- Install with `npm ci` (exact versions from `package-lock.json`), never `npm install`.
- Vue 2 / Vuetify 2 are end of life. Do not upgrade them, and do not write Vue 3 style code.
- Add `data-testid` attributes to elements that Cypress tests select.

## Commands

```powershell
cd ayanova
npm ci              # first time, or after package-lock.json changes
npm run serve       # dev server with hot reload
npm run build       # production build into dist\
npm run lint
```

## How the build reaches the server

`npm run build` writes to `ayanova\dist\`. `raven\build-release.bat` (or `buildrelease.bat`
here) copies it into `raven\server\AyaNova\wwwroot\`. The .NET build does not produce
`wwwroot`: whatever is there when the server is published is what ships.

Webpack content-hash file names (`app.<hash>.js` …) change on every build even when the
contents do not. Compare file contents, not names.

Warnings on every build that are harmless: Browserslist "caniuse-lite is outdated"; Dart
Sass division deprecation (from Vuetify); asset size (Monaco's workers).

## Code layout

`src/api/` API utilities, auth and error handling; `src/components/` about 80 components;
`src/views/` about 100 pages; `src/plugins/` Vuetify setup; `router.js`, `store.js`,
`main.js`, `App.vue`.

View prefixes: `acc-` accounting, `adm-` administration, `cust-` customers, `home-`
dashboard, `inv-` inventory, `ops-` server operations, `svc-` service (work orders, quotes,
PMs).
