# Agent guide: mifi Ventures landing

This file helps LLM agents work in this repo without introducing anti-patterns. Follow the architecture and conventions below.

## Purpose

- **Audience**: LLM agents (e.g. Cursor, Codex) making code or content changes.
- **Goal**: Preserve a minimal static site: SvelteKit prerender, no client-side app JS, shared theming, critical CSS inlining, and clear separation between app routes and static error pages.

## Stack and architecture

- **Framework**: SvelteKit with **adapter-static**. All routes are prerendered; there is no client-side router or hydration (`csr: false` in `src/routes/+layout.ts`).
- **Build**: `pnpm run build` = `vite build` → `node scripts/beasties.mjs` → `node scripts/generate-sitemap.mjs` → `node scripts/minify-static-js.mjs`. Output is `dist/` (static files only). Deploy uses this; no 410 path copies. For local preview with 410 URLs working, use `pnpm run build-preview` (adds `copy-410-paths.mjs`). The 410 path dirs are in `.dockerignore` so they are never included in the image.
- **Runtime**: nginx serves `dist/` (mounted as `/usr/share/nginx/html` in the container). No Node at runtime.
- **Theming**: CSS only. Light/dark follows **system preference** via `@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)` in `src/app.css`. There is no JS theme toggle or `data-theme`; do not add one unless explicitly requested.
- **Fonts**: **Local only.** Inter and Fraunces are served from `static/assets/fonts/` (e.g. `inter-v20-latin-*.woff2`, `fraunces-v38-latin-*.woff2`). Preloads are in `src/routes/+layout.svelte`. Do not add Google Fonts or other external font URLs for the main site or error pages.

## Key paths

| Path | Role |
|------|------|
| `src/app.css` | Single global stylesheet: CSS variables (light/dark), base styles, components. Source of truth for theme tokens. |
| `src/app.html` | SvelteKit HTML shell. Rarely edited. |
| `src/routes/+layout.svelte` | Root layout: head (meta, fonts, favicon, scripts), skip link, slot. Imports `app.css`. |
| `src/routes/+layout.ts` | Exports `prerender = true`, `ssr = true`, `csr = false`. Do not enable CSR. |
| `src/routes/+page.svelte` | Home page; composes sections from `src/lib/components/`. |
| `src/lib/data/*.ts` | Content and meta (home-meta, content, experience, engagements, json-ld). Edit here for copy or SEO. |
| `src/lib/seo.ts` | SEO defaults (baseUrl, theme colors, etc.) and `mergeMeta()`. |
| `static/` | Copied as-is into `dist/` by SvelteKit. Favicon, robots.txt, fonts, images, **404.html**, **410.html**, and **assets/error-pages.css** live here. |
| `scripts/beasties.mjs` | Post-build: inlines critical CSS into **every** `dist/*.html` (including 404 and 410). Resolves stylesheet URLs relative to `dist/`. |
| `scripts/minify-static-js.mjs` | Post-build: minifies JS in `dist/assets/`. |
| `scripts/copy-410-paths.mjs` | Run by `build-preview` only: copies `410.html` to each 410 URL path as `index.html` so static preview (e.g. `serve dist`) shows the 410 page at those URLs. Production uses `build` (no copy); nginx returns 410 via explicit location blocks and `error_page 410 /410.html`. |
| `nginx.conf` | Serves static files; `try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html` for SPA-style fallback; `error_page 404 /404.html` and `error_page 410 /410.html` for custom error pages. |

## Static error pages (404, 410)

- **Files**: `static/404.html`, `static/410.html`. They are **standalone HTML** (not Svelte). Do not convert them to Svelte routes.
- **Styling**: Both link to **one** shared stylesheet: `<link rel="stylesheet" href="/assets/error-pages.css">`. All error-page CSS lives in **`static/assets/error-pages.css`** (theme variables for light/dark, local `@font-face` for Inter/Fraunces, layout for `.error-page`). Do not duplicate theme tokens or add inline `<style>` in the HTML; keep a single source in `error-pages.css`.
- **Critical CSS**: The build runs Beasties on all `dist/*.html`. Beasties inlines critical CSS from linked stylesheets (including `/assets/error-pages.css`) into 404.html and 410.html. So:
  - **Do** keep the `<link rel="stylesheet" href="/assets/error-pages.css">` in 404.html and 410.html; Beasties will inline it at build time.
  - **Do not** add error-page-only CSS in `src/app.css`; the app bundle is not loaded on error pages.
- **Theme alignment**: When changing light/dark colors or typography in `src/app.css`, update **`static/assets/error-pages.css`** so 404/410 stay visually consistent (same `--ep-*` tokens and, if needed, `@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)`).
- **Local fonts**: Error pages use the same font paths as the main site (`/assets/fonts/...`) via `@font-face` in `error-pages.css`. Do not use Google Fonts or other external font URLs on error pages.
- **Preview vs production**: Deploy runs `pnpm run build` (no 410 path copies); the image stays minimal and nginx serves 410 via `error_page 410 /410.html`. For local preview with 410 URLs working, run `pnpm run build-preview` then `serve dist`; the copied `index.html` files under each 410 path are in `.dockerignore` so they are never copied into the image. If you add or remove 410 paths, update `nginx.conf` and the `PATHS` array in `scripts/410-paths.mjs`.

## Anti-patterns to avoid

1. **Enabling client-side rendering**  
   Do not set `csr: true` or add a client-side router. The site is intentionally static and JS-minimal.

2. **Adding app JavaScript for the main shell**  
   The only scripts are small, purposeful ones (e.g. `copyright-year.js`, `ga-init.js`, `mobile-menu-helper.js`) in `static/assets/js/`. Do not introduce a Svelte hydration bundle or large runtime for the main pages.

3. **External fonts**  
   Do not add `<link>` to Google Fonts (or similar) in layout or error pages. Use local fonts in `static/assets/fonts/` and reference them via preload (layout) or `@font-face` (error-pages.css).

4. **Skipping Beasties for new HTML**  
   Any new `.html` in `static/` is copied to `dist/` and **must** be processed by Beasties (the script already runs on all `dist/*.html`). Do not add static HTML that bypasses the build or that uses only inline styles without a linked stylesheet (linked styles get inlined by Beasties).

5. **Diverging error page theme**  
   Do not change 404/410 styling in a way that ignores `static/assets/error-pages.css` or that duplicates theme tokens from `src/app.css` in ad-hoc form. Keep one error-page stylesheet and align its variables with `app.css` when you change the main theme.

6. **Breaking static export**  
   Do not add routes or behavior that require server-side rendering at request time (e.g. dynamic routes without prerender). The app is fully prerendered and served as static files.

7. **Scattering SEO or theme defaults**  
   Keep SEO defaults and theme-color values in `src/lib/seo.ts` and in layout/error pages that need them. Do not duplicate or hardcode them in many places.

## Quick reference

- **Change copy or structure (home)**: `src/lib/data/*.ts`, `src/lib/components/*.svelte`, `src/routes/+page.svelte`.
- **Change global styles or theme**: `src/app.css`. Then sync **`static/assets/error-pages.css`** if tokens or dark mode change.
- **Change error page copy or structure**: `static/404.html`, `static/410.html`. Style changes: **`static/assets/error-pages.css`** only.
- **Add a new static HTML page**: Add it under `static/`, link to `/assets/error-pages.css` (or a dedicated stylesheet that Beasties can inline). Ensure `scripts/beasties.mjs` runs over all `dist/*.html` (it already does).
- **Change nginx behavior**: `nginx.conf` (e.g. cache headers, `error_page`, `try_files`).
