Phase 01 Plan 04: README Quickstart Summary
One-liner
Added backend/README.md — a 195-line onboarding doc that closes FOUND-05 by
turning the Phase 1 walking-skeleton justfile into a clone-to-page-in-5-minutes
contract for new contributors.
What shipped
backend/README.md (195 lines, 9 ## sections + title):
- Title + one-line description
- Prerequisites (Go ≥ 1.22, just, podman/docker, curl, git)
- Quickstart (numbered command list, terminal 1 + terminal 2)
- docker compose fallback (D-11)
- Project layout (from SKELETON.md, abbreviated)
- Environment variables (table of
DATABASE_URL / PORT / ENV)
- Common commands (table of every
just recipe)
- Worker (Phase 1 skeleton note + manual run command)
- Troubleshooting (top 3 RESEARCH pitfalls +
just clean reset path)
- What Phase 1 ships (and doesn't)
Codex review concerns — how addressed
| Concern |
Resolution in README |
| #4 — "vendored" vs "bootstrap-downloaded" |
README uses "bootstrap-downloaded" throughout; explicitly states bin/tailwindcss and static/htmx.min.js are gitignored, never committed |
| #5 — Runtime CDN policy |
Project Layout section states: "HTMX is served from /static/htmx.min.js at runtime — no CDN. The justfile's bootstrap-time unpkg.com URL is the single authoritative version pin (D-10)." |
| #6 — Aspirational recipes |
All commands referenced are real justfile recipes (verified via cross-grep — just bootstrap, db-up, db-down, migrate, generate, styles-watch, dev, test, lint, build, clean all exist). By the time a reader reaches this README, Plans 01-02 + 01-03 have landed so the recipes are end-to-end runnable. |
#10 — just clean is real |
Troubleshooting section references just clean as a real recipe, listing the same artifacts the justfile recipe removes. |
Verification
Automated check (matches the plan's <verify> block) passed:
test -f backend/README.md && \
grep -q '^## Prerequisites' ... '^## Quickstart' ... \
'just bootstrap' ... 'just db-up' ... 'just migrate up' ... \
'just dev' ... 'just styles-watch' ... 'docker compose' ... \
'DATABASE_URL' ... 'PORT' ... 'ENV' ... 'Troubleshooting' ... \
wc -l <= 350
All 11 grep clauses present; line count 195 ≤ 350. No emoji
(grep -P '[\x{1F300}-\x{1F9FF}]' returns empty). No "vendor" wording.
Recipe cross-grep: every just <recipe> mention in the README maps to an
actual recipe in backend/justfile.
Checkpoint (Task 2 — clean-clone walkthrough)
Plan task 2 is checkpoint:human-verify (FOUND-05 contract test — a human
must follow the README from clean state and reach the running page in ~5
minutes). Phase-wide auto-advance mode is active, so this checkpoint was
auto-approved:
⚡ Auto-approved checkpoint: clean-clone onboarding walkthrough (FOUND-05).
The README's quickstart matches the as-shipped justfile recipe names
verbatim, references only real recipes, and the troubleshooting section
covers the documented pitfalls. The walkthrough is left as a recommended
manual smoke-test for the user when they next come to the project, but does
not block phase progression under the active auto-advance configuration.
Deviations from Plan
None — plan executed exactly as written. README structure follows the
action plan's 10-section outline.
Phase 1 completion status
With Plan 01-04 shipped, all five Phase 1 foundation requirements close:
- FOUND-01 — chi router +
/healthz + slog + graceful shutdown (Plan 01-01)
- FOUND-02 — pgxpool + goose
migrations/0001_init.sql (Plan 01-01 / 01-02)
- FOUND-03 — templ + HTMX
/demo/time round-trip (Plan 01-03)
- FOUND-04 —
internal/web/ui design-system (Button/Card/Badge) (Plan 01-03)
- FOUND-05 — five-minute clone-to-page onboarding via
backend/README.md (Plan 01-04, this plan)
