Summary

  • Complete README.md rewrite — 398 new lines replacing 74 stale lines (93% rewrite)
  • Documents all 10 implemented subsystems with links to detailed docs
  • Working quick start (clone → install → docker compose → tests → API docs)
  • Accurate repository structure matching the actual codebase
  • API endpoint summary (24 endpoints across 8 groups)
  • Development setup, testing, code quality, and deployment instructions
  • User guide links for all 4 roles (creator, operator, admin, developer)
  • Documentation index mapping to all in-repo docs and Confluence pages
  • Updated contact info: ByBren, LLC (replaces Words To Film By)
  • v1.0.0-alpha delivery summary (133 pts, 716 tests, 3 PIs)

What was wrong with the old README

  • Referenced "Words To Film By" (wrong company)
  • Had NOT ACTIVE placeholder clone instructions
  • Documented zero implemented features
  • Repository structure was inaccurate
  • No subsystem documentation
  • No API reference
  • No user guides
  • No development/testing instructions

Documentation cross-references

Each subsystem links to its detailed page in docs/confluence/:

  • docs/confluence/03-authentication-security.md — Auth & security
  • docs/confluence/04-credit-billing.md — Stripe & credit ledger
  • docs/confluence/05-scheduler-dispatch.md — Scheduler & dispatch
  • docs/confluence/06-edge-node-system.md — Edge nodes
  • docs/confluence/07-object-storage.md — S3/R2 storage
  • docs/confluence/08-blockchain-anchoring.md — Merkle proofs
  • docs/confluence/09-infrastructure-deployment.md — Infra & deploy
  • docs/confluence/10-api-reference.md — Full API reference
  • docs/confluence/11-14-* — User guides (4 roles)

All 15 Confluence pages are also published at:
https://cheddarfox.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RenderTrust/pages/436043780

Test plan

  • Verify all doc links resolve to existing files
  • Verify quick start instructions work
  • Verify repo structure matches actual directory layout
  • Review subsystem descriptions for accuracy
  • Check contact info is correct

CI runs `ruff format --check .` which was failing on 61 files
with pre-existing formatting issues. Applied `ruff format .`
to bring all Python files into compliance.

…REN-140]

Integration tests in CI run against PostgreSQL where Alembic migrations
have already created the schema (including ENUM types). Calling
Base.metadata.create_all() on top of Alembic-managed schema causes
"type transaction_direction already exists" errors.

Now only runs create_all for SQLite (unit tests), skips for PostgreSQL
where Alembic owns the schema lifecycle.

Integration tests: Alembic migration 0002 fails with "type
transaction_direction already exists" because SQLAlchemy Enum.create()
with checkfirst=True doesn't work reliably with asyncpg. Replaced
with raw SQL using CREATE TYPE IF NOT EXISTS.

E2E tests: docker-compose.test.yml runs against PostgreSQL but didn't
run Alembic migrations first, causing "relation users does not exist".
Added alembic upgrade head to test-runner command.

PostgreSQL < 16.4 doesn't support CREATE TYPE IF NOT EXISTS syntax.
Instead, query pg_type to check existence before creating the enum.
This works with all PostgreSQL 16.x versions and asyncpg.

SQLAlchemy auto-creates ENUM types when they appear in create_table
columns, even when we manage creation ourselves. Adding
create_type=False to both Enum definitions prevents this duplicate
creation that fails with asyncpg.

sa.Enum's create_type=False is ignored by Alembic's op.create_table.
Switching to sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql.ENUM which properly
respects create_type=False and prevents the duplicate enum creation
that causes "type transaction_direction already exists" with asyncpg.

E2E docker-compose.test.yml was running ALL tests against PostgreSQL,
but unit tests expect SQLite schema from create_all. Now scoped to
tests/integration/ and tests/e2e/ only.

Health readiness test assumed Redis unavailable, but CI has Redis.
Now accepts either degraded (no Redis) or ready (Redis up).

QAS validation found README referenced ci/promtail.yml but the actual
path is ci/loki/promtail-config.yml. Updated monitoring section header
and repo structure to reference ci/loki/ directory correctly.

QAS validation found:
- WARN-1: docs/security/ referenced but deleted; replaced with docs/sop/
- WARN-2: README said 9 routers but router.py includes 10
