-## Repository Overview
+GitRay is a production-ready Git repository analysis and visualization platform that transforms commit history into interactive visualizations such as heatmaps, commit statistics, code churn analysis and time-series aggregations.
 
-This monorepo uses **pnpm** and contains:
+## Development Environment
 
-- `apps/frontend` – React app built with Vite/Tailwind
-- `apps/backend` – Express server
-- `packages/shared-types` – shared TypeScript interfaces
+### Prerequisites
 
-Tests live under `__tests__` or `src/__tests__` within each package.
+- Node.js 18+
+- pnpm 10.16.1
+- Docker (for Redis)
+- Git
 
-## Working Locally
+The recommended local development environment has at least 4 GB of RAM (8 GB+ for large repositories) and 2 GB of free disk space.
 
-1. Install dependencies with `pnpm install`.
-2. Run the app with `pnpm dev` (or `dev:frontend` / `dev:backend`).
-3. Build all packages with `pnpm build`.
+### Clone & Install
 
-## Validation
+Use `git clone` to clone the repository, then run `pnpm install` from the project root to install dependencies across all packages (root, backend, frontend, shared types).
 
-Before committing changes, run:
+### Building Shared Types
+
+Build the `@gitray/shared-types` package before running apps using:
 
 ```bash
-pnpm lint && pnpm lint:md
-pnpm build
-pnpm test # or pnpm test:frontend / test:backend
-pnpm dev # for example for 5 seconds to check if it runs cleanly, maybe make a request to the url
+pnpm run build:shared-types
+```
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+Copy `.env.example` files into `apps/backend/.env` and `apps/frontend/.env`. Configure at least:
+
+- `PORT`
+- `CORS_ORIGIN`
+- `REDIS_HOST`
+- `REDIS_PORT`
+- `CACHE_MAX_ENTRIES`
+- `MEMORY_WARNING_THRESHOLD`
+- `STREAMING_ENABLED`
+
+### Development Scripts
+
+- `pnpm app` – interactive menu to start services
+- `pnpm start` – full development setup, including building shared types, starting Redis and launching backend and frontend
+- `pnpm quick` – quick start that launches only the frontend (assumes backend is running)
+- `pnpm dev` – build types and start all services with hot reload
+- `pnpm dev:frontend` / `pnpm dev:backend` – start individual services
+- `pnpm env:status` / `pnpm env:stop` / `pnpm env:clean` – check status, stop services or clean the environment
+- `pnpm rebuild` – performs a clean install and build from scratch
+
+### Starting Manual Services
+
+Start Redis (via Docker) then run `pnpm dev:backend` for the backend and `pnpm dev:frontend` for the frontend.
+
+- Backend dev server uses `tsx` and `nodemon` for hot reload
+- Frontend dev server uses Vite's hot module replacement and proxies API calls to the backend
+
+### Access Points
+
+Default ports are `5173` for the frontend and `3001` for the backend. Health endpoints are exposed at:
+
+- `/health`
+- `/health/detailed`
+- `/health/memory`
+
+### Build Commands
+
+- `pnpm build` – full build: shared-types → backend → frontend
+- `pnpm build:shared-types` – builds only the shared types package
+- `pnpm build:apps` – builds backend then frontend
+- `pnpm clean` – remove build artifacts and caches
+- `pnpm rebuild` – clean + install + build
+
+## Code Style Guidelines
+
+### General Rules
+
+- Use TypeScript in strict mode for all codebases (backend, frontend, shared types)
+- Prefer functional React components with hooks; avoid class components
+- Use PNPM workspaces; do not use npm or Yarn
+- Write small, focused functions and pure functions where possible
+- Avoid `console.log` in production code; use the logger provided by winston
+- Check existing components and services before creating new ones to avoid duplication
+
+### Naming Conventions
+
+- **Components**: PascalCase (e.g., `CommitHeatmap.tsx`)
+- **Files and utilities**: camelCase (e.g., `repositoryCache.ts`, `memoryPressureManager.ts`)
+- **Constants**: UPPER_SNAKE_CASE
+- **Types/Interfaces**: PascalCase with suffix (e.g., `CommitHeatmapData`, `CodeChurnAnalysis`)
+- **Environment variables**: Uppercase with underscores (e.g., `REDIS_HOST`)
+
+### File Organization
+
+- Project follows a monorepo with `apps/backend`, `apps/frontend`, and `packages/shared-types`
+- Co-locate tests (`*.test.ts`/`*.spec.ts`) next to implementation files
+- Group related components into folders and export via `index.ts`
+- Keep `scripts/` directory for development tooling (e.g., `start.sh`)
+
+### Code Quality Tools
+
+GitRay uses a multi-layer code quality system:
+
+- **ESLint** with plugins for TypeScript, React, hooks, a11y, SonarJS and Prettier
+- **Prettier** for consistent formatting; run `pnpm format` to format all files
+- **markdownlint-cli2** for Markdown files
+- **Husky + lint-staged**: pre-commit hooks run ESLint, Prettier, and Markdown lint on staged files
+- **TypeScript** strict type checking; run `tsc --noEmit` or `pnpm --filter backend build` for type checking
+
+### Best Practices
+
+- Enforce import order and consistent quoting via ESLint rules
+- Follow React's Rules of Hooks and accessibility guidelines
+- Use incremental linting (ESLint cache) and staged file linting for performance
+- Do not bypass quality checks unless absolutely necessary
+

+```
+
+### Key Technologies
+
+**Backend:**
+
+- Node.js 18+
+- Express 5.1.0
+- simple-git for Git operations
+- ioredis for Redis caching
+- express-validator for input validation
+- winston for logging
+- prom-client for Prometheus metrics
+- helmet and cors for security
+- express-rate-limit for rate limiting
+- date-fns for date manipulation
+
+**Frontend:**
+
+- React 19.1.0
+- Vite 6.3.5
+- Tailwind CSS 4.1.7
+- axios for HTTP calls
+- ApexCharts and react-apexcharts for charts
+- react-calendar-heatmap for heatmaps
+- @rive-app/react-canvas for animations
+- react-select for dropdowns
+
+**Shared Types:**
+
+Centralized TypeScript interfaces such as `Commit`, `CommitFilterOptions`, `CommitHeatmapData`, `CommitAggregation`, `CodeChurnAnalysis`, `FileChurnData`, `RepositoryError` and `TransactionRollbackError`. Always import shared types instead of duplicating definitions.
+
+## Important Patterns & Gotchas
+
+### Multi-Tier Caching
+
+GitRay uses a three-tier hierarchical cache with 60%/25%/15% memory allocation for raw commits, filtered commits and aggregated data, respectively. The caching system falls back to disk and Redis and supports transactional operations with rollback and ordered locking to avoid deadlocks. When interacting with the cache, use the provided `RepositoryCacheManager` methods; do not implement ad-hoc caching.
+
+### Repository Coordination
+
+To prevent duplicate Git clones and reduce disk I/O, the `repositoryCoordinator.ts` maintains a shared map of repository handles, uses reference counting for cleanup, and coalesces identical operations. Use the coordinator to clone repositories instead of directly invoking simple-git.
+
+### Memory Pressure Management
+
+`memoryPressureManager.ts` monitors memory usage and classifies states as:
+
+- **Normal** (< 75%)
+- **Warning** (75–85%)
+- **Critical** (85–95%)
+- **Emergency** (> 95%)
+
+At higher pressure levels it throttles requests, evicts cache entries or blocks low-priority operations to prevent crashes. Avoid long-running synchronous operations and respect circuit breakers.
+
+### Streaming Support
+
+For large repositories (50k+ commits), the backend streams commit data using Server-Sent Events. The `/api/commits/stream` endpoint should be used for high-latency queries.
+
+### Observability
+
+The backend exposes Prometheus metrics at `/metrics`, with counters, gauges and histograms for HTTP requests, cache performance, memory pressure and Git operation durations. Structured logging via winston includes request correlation IDs; use the logger instead of `console.log`. Health checks at `/health`, `/health/detailed` and `/health/memory` report service status.
+
+### API Endpoints
+
+- `POST /api/repositories` – fetch commit list for a repository
+- `GET /api/commits/heatmap` – return aggregated heatmap data
+- `GET /api/commits/info` – get repository statistics
+- `GET /api/commits/stream` – stream commit data (Server-Sent Events)
+- `GET /api/repositories/churn` – code churn analysis
+- `GET /api/cache/stats` – cache metrics
+- `GET /health` – health status
+- `GET /metrics` – Prometheus metrics
+
+### Configuration
+
+Core configuration sections include:
+
+- **Server**: `PORT`, `CORS_ORIGIN`
+- **Redis**: `REDIS_HOST`, `REDIS_PORT`, `REDIS_PASSWORD`
+- **Cache**: `CACHE_MAX_ENTRIES`, `CACHE_MEMORY_LIMIT_GB`
+- **Memory**: `MEMORY_WARNING_THRESHOLD`, `MEMORY_CRITICAL_THRESHOLD`
+- **Streaming**: `STREAMING_ENABLED`, `STREAMING_COMMIT_THRESHOLD`
+- **Logging**: `LOG_LEVEL`, `DEBUG_CACHE_LOGGING`
+
+Do not hard-code secrets; use `.env` files.
+
+### Performance Characteristics
+
+- **Small repositories** (< 1k commits): ~500 ms
+- **Medium repositories** (1k–10k commits): ~2 s
+- **Large repositories** (10k–50k): ~10 s
+- **Streaming mode**: for 50k+ commits
+
+Cache hit rates > 80% are typical. When optimizing, prioritize caching and streaming.
+
+## Testing Instructions
+
+### Unit and Integration Tests
+
+GitRay uses Vitest. Test files follow `*.test.ts` or `*.spec.ts` patterns. Run tests with:
+
+- `pnpm test` – run all tests across all packages
+- `pnpm test:frontend` – run frontend tests only
+- `pnpm test:backend` – run backend tests only
+- `pnpm test:watch` – watch mode for all tests
+- `pnpm test:watch:changed` – watch mode for changed files only
+- `pnpm test:ui` – launch Vitest UI for interactive debugging
+
+### Coverage
+
+Maintain ≥ 80% coverage on critical paths. Generate coverage reports via:
+
+- `pnpm test:coverage` – full coverage pipeline (clean → test → merge → report)
+- `pnpm test:coverage:frontend`, `pnpm test:coverage:backend` – generate coverage for individual packages
+
+Coverage reports are stored in `coverage/` and `.nyc_output/` for integration with CI/CD pipelines.
+
+### Performance Tests
+
+The backend includes k6 load tests. Run with `pnpm --filter backend test:perf` for standard load; use `test:perf:smoke` and `test:perf:stress` for light and heavy loads.
+
+### Code Quality Checks
+
+Run `pnpm lint` to lint all files; `pnpm lint:fix` to auto-fix; `pnpm lint:md` for Markdown linting; `pnpm format` to format code. These checks run automatically via Husky pre-commit hooks.
 
-CI runs these steps and SonarCloud analysis. All must pass without errors.
+### CI/CD Pipeline
 
-## Testing Guidelines
+Ensure that builds, tests, linting and coverage are executed in continuous integration. Failed quality checks or tests block merges. The main branch deploys to production and preview deployments are created for pull requests.
 
-- Use **Vitest** for unit tests.
-- Follow the **Arrange–Act–Assert** and **Happy Path** patterns.
-- Achieve **≥ 80% coverage** using `pnpm test:coverage`.
+## Common Pitfalls
 
-## Pull Requests
+- Skipping `pnpm run build:shared-types` before running apps results in missing type definitions
+- Not running Redis results in failed cache operations; ensure Docker is running
+- Ports `3001` or `5173` already in use – adjust `.env` or stop conflicting services
+- TypeScript errors in `node_modules` – add `skipLibCheck: true` in `tsconfig.json` if needed
 
-- Target the `dev` branch.
-- Ensure linting, tests, and build succeed before pushing.
+## Troubleshooting
 
-All scripts are documented in the `README.md` for reference.
+For cache issues, memory issues and performance tuning, refer to the Troubleshooting section in the documentation. The memory pressure manager and circuit breakers automatically handle overloads, but persistent errors may indicate misconfiguration.
