# ColaFlow

**AI-powered Project Management System based on MCP Protocol**

ColaFlow is a next-generation project management platform inspired by Jira's agile methodology, enhanced with AI capabilities and built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It enables AI agents to securely read and write project data, generate documentation, sync progress, and create comprehensive reports.

### Demo Accounts

See `scripts/DEMO-ACCOUNTS.md` for demo credentials:

| Role | Email | Password |

| Owner | owner@demo.com | Demo@123456 |
| Developer | developer@demo.com | Demo@123456 |

### Useful Commands

```powershell
# Stop all services
.\scripts\dev-start.ps1 -Stop

# View logs
.\scripts\dev-start.ps1 -Logs

# Clean rebuild
.\scripts\dev-start.ps1 -Clean

# Check status
docker-compose ps
```

---

## Manual Development

If you prefer not to use Docker:

### 1. Start PostgreSQL and Redis

```bash
# PostgreSQL
docker run -d -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_DB=colaflow -e POSTGRES_USER=colaflow -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=colaflow_dev_password postgres:16-alpine

# Redis
docker run -d -p 6379:6379 redis:7-alpine redis-server --requirepass colaflow_redis_password
```

### 2. Run Backend

```bash
cd colaflow-api
dotnet restore
dotnet ef database update
dotnet run
```

### 3. Run Frontend

```bash
cd colaflow-web
npm install
npm run dev
```

## Development Workflow

### Daily Development

1. **Start backend services** (if not already running):
   ```bash
   docker-compose up -d postgres redis backend
   ```

2. **Run frontend locally** (for hot reload):
   ```bash
   cd colaflow-web
   npm run dev
   ```

3. **View logs**:
   ```bash
   docker-compose logs -f backend
   ```

4. **Stop services**:
   ```bash
   docker-compose down
   ```

### Database Migrations

```bash
# Create new migration
cd colaflow-api/src/ColaFlow.API
dotnet ef migrations add MigrationName

# Apply migrations
dotnet ef database update

# Rollback migration
dotnet ef database update PreviousMigrationName
```

### Testing

```bash
# Backend tests
cd colaflow-api
dotnet test

# Frontend tests
cd colaflow-web
npm test
```

## Troubleshooting

### Container won't start

```bash
# View detailed logs
docker-compose logs backend

# Check port conflicts
netstat -ano | findstr :5000

# Force rebuild
docker-compose up -d --build --force-recreate
```

### Database connection fails

```bash
# Check PostgreSQL health
docker-compose ps postgres

# View PostgreSQL logs
docker-compose logs postgres

# Restart PostgreSQL
docker-compose restart postgres
```

### Frontend can't connect to backend

1. Verify `.env.local` has correct `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL`
2. Check backend health: `docker-compose ps backend`
3. Review CORS logs: `docker-compose logs backend | grep CORS`

### Hot reload not working

```bash
# Verify volume mounts
docker-compose config | grep -A 5 "frontend.*volumes"

# Restart frontend
docker-compose restart frontend
```
