+# API 连接问题修复摘要
+
+## 问题描述
+**报告时间**: 2025-11-03
+**问题**: 前端项目列表页面无法显示项目数据
+
+### 症状
+1. 前端正常运行在 http://localhost:3000
+2. 页面渲染正常（GET /projects 200）
+3. 但是后端 API 无法连接（curl localhost:5167 连接失败）
+
+## 诊断结果
+
+运行诊断测试脚本后发现：
+
+```bash
+./test-api-connection.sh
+```
+
+### 关键发现：
+1. ✗ 后端服务器未在端口 5167 运行
+2. ✗ API 健康检查端点无法访问
+3. ✗ Projects 端点无法访问
+4. ⚠ 前端运行中但返回 307 状态码（重定向）
+5. ✓ .env.local 配置正确：`NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:5167/api/v1`
+
+### 根本原因
+**后端服务器未启动** - 这是主要问题
+
+## 已实施的修复
+
+### 1. 增强前端调试功能
+
+#### 文件：`colaflow-web/lib/api/client.ts`
+**修改内容**:
+- 添加 API URL 初始化日志
+- 为每个 API 请求添加详细日志
+- 增强错误处理，捕获并记录网络错误
+- 显示请求 URL、方法、状态码
+
+**代码示例**:
+```typescript
+// 初始化时记录 API URL
+if (typeof window !== 'undefined') {
+  console.log('[API Client] API_URL:', API_URL);
+  console.log('[API Client] NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL:', process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL);
+}
+
+// 请求前记录
+console.log('[API Client] Request:', {
+  method: options.method || 'GET',
+  url,
+  endpoint,
+});
+
+// 捕获网络错误
+try {
+  const response = await fetch(url, config);
+  const result = await handleResponse<T>(response);
+  console.log('[API Client] Response:', { url, status: response.status, data: result });
+  return result;
+} catch (error) {
+  console.error('[API Client] Network error:', {
+    url,
+    error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error),
+    errorObject: error,
+  });
+  throw error;
+}
+```
+
+#### 文件：`colaflow-web/app/(dashboard)/projects/page.tsx`
+**修改内容**:
+- 将简单的错误消息替换为详细的错误卡片
+- 显示错误详情、API URL、故障排查步骤
+- 添加重试按钮
+- 添加控制台调试日志
+
+**功能**:
+```typescript
+if (error) {
+  const errorMessage = error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error';
+  const apiUrl = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL || 'http://localhost:5000/api/v1';
+
+  console.error('[ProjectsPage] Error loading projects:', error);
+
+  return (
+    <Card>
+      <CardHeader>
+        <CardTitle>Failed to Load Projects</CardTitle>
+        <CardDescription>Unable to connect to the backend API</CardDescription>
+      </CardHeader>
+      <CardContent>
+        <div>Error Details: {errorMessage}</div>
+        <div>API URL: {apiUrl}</div>
+        <div>Troubleshooting Steps:
+          - Check if backend server is running
+          - Verify API URL in .env.local
+          - Check browser console (F12)
+          - Check network tab (F12)
+        </div>
+        <Button onClick={() => window.location.reload()}>Retry</Button>
+      </CardContent>
+    </Card>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+#### 文件：`colaflow-web/lib/hooks/use-projects.ts`
+**修改内容**:
+- 在 queryFn 中添加详细日志
+- 记录请求开始、成功、失败
+- 减少重试次数从 3 降至 1（更快失败）
+
+**代码**:
+```typescript
+export function useProjects(page = 1, pageSize = 20) {
+  return useQuery<Project[]>({
+    queryKey: ['projects', page, pageSize],
+    queryFn: async () => {
+      console.log('[useProjects] Fetching projects...', { page, pageSize });
+      try {
+        const result = await projectsApi.getAll(page, pageSize);
+        console.log('[useProjects] Fetch successful:', result);
+        return result;
+      } catch (error) {
+        console.error('[useProjects] Fetch failed:', error);
+        throw error;
+      }
+    },
+    staleTime: 5 * 60 * 1000,
+    retry: 1, // Fail faster
+  });
+}
+```
+
+### 2. 创建诊断工具
+
+#### 文件：`test-api-connection.sh`
+**功能**:
+- 检查后端是否在端口 5167 运行
+- 测试 API 健康检查端点
+- 测试 Projects 端点
+- 检查前端是否运行
+- 验证 .env.local 配置
+- 提供彩色输出和清晰的下一步指令
+
+#### 文件：`DEBUGGING_GUIDE.md`
+**内容**:
+- 详细的诊断步骤
+- 常见问题及解决方案
+- 如何使用浏览器开发工具
+- 日志输出示例
+- 验证修复的检查清单
+
+## 解决方案
+
+### 立即行动：启动后端服务器
+
+```bash
+# 方法 1: 使用 .NET CLI
+cd colaflow-api/src/ColaFlow.API
+dotnet run
+
+# 方法 2: 使用解决方案
+cd colaflow-api
+dotnet run --project src/ColaFlow.API/ColaFlow.API.csproj
+
+# 验证后端运行
+curl http://localhost:5167/api/v1/health
+curl http://localhost:5167/api/v1/projects
+```
+
+### 验证步骤
+
+1. **启动后端**：
+   ```bash
+   cd colaflow-api/src/ColaFlow.API
+   dotnet run
+   ```
+   期望输出：`Now listening on: http://localhost:5167`
+
+2. **确认前端运行**：
+   ```bash
+   cd colaflow-web
+   npm run dev
+   ```
+   期望输出：`Ready on http://localhost:3000`
+
+3. **运行诊断测试**：
+   ```bash
+   ./test-api-connection.sh
+   ```
+   期望：所有测试显示 ✓ 绿色通过
+
+4. **访问项目页面**：
+   - 打开 http://localhost:3000/projects
+   - 按 F12 打开开发者工具
+   - 查看 Console 标签页
+
+5. **检查控制台日志**：
+   期望看到：
+   ```
+   [API Client] API_URL: http://localhost:5167/api/v1
+   [useProjects] Fetching projects...
+   [API Client] Request: GET http://localhost:5167/api/v1/projects...
+   [API Client] Response: {status: 200, data: [...]}
+   [useProjects] Fetch successful
+   ```
+
+6. **检查网络请求**：
+   - 切换到 Network 标签页
+   - 查找 `projects?page=1&pageSize=20` 请求
+   - 状态应为 200 OK
+

+
+Commit: 2ea3c93
+```
+
+## 预期结果
+
+### 修复前（当前状态）
+- 页面显示：`Failed to load projects. Please try again later.`
+- 控制台：无详细错误信息
+- 无法判断问题原因
+
+### 修复后（启动后端后）
+- 页面显示：项目列表或"No projects yet"消息
+- 控制台：详细的请求/响应日志
+- 网络面板：200 OK 状态码
+- 能够创建、查看、编辑项目
+
+### 如果后端仍未启动
+- 页面显示：详细的错误卡片，包含：
+  - 错误消息：`Failed to fetch` 或 `Network request failed`
+  - API URL：`http://localhost:5167/api/v1`
+  - 故障排查步骤
+  - 重试按钮
+- 控制台：完整的调试日志
+- 网络面板：失败的请求（红色）
+
+## 后续优化建议
+
+### 1. 添加 API 健康检查
+在应用启动时检查后端是否可用：
+```typescript
+// useHealthCheck.ts
+export function useHealthCheck() {
+  return useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['health'],
+    queryFn: () => api.get('/health'),
+    refetchInterval: 30000, // 30秒检查一次
+  });
+}
+```
+
+### 2. 添加全局错误处理
+使用 React Error Boundary 捕获 API 错误：
+```typescript
+// ErrorBoundary.tsx
+export class ApiErrorBoundary extends React.Component {
+  state = { hasError: false };
+
+  static getDerivedStateFromError(error) {
+    return { hasError: true };
+  }
+
+  render() {
+    if (this.state.hasError) {
+      return <ApiErrorPage />;
+    }
+    return this.props.children;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. 添加重连逻辑
+实现指数退避重试：
+```typescript
+const queryClient = new QueryClient({
+  defaultOptions: {
+    queries: {
+      retry: 3,
+      retryDelay: (attemptIndex) => Math.min(1000 * 2 ** attemptIndex, 30000),
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+### 4. 添加离线检测
+检测网络状态并显示离线提示：
+```typescript
+export function useOnlineStatus() {
+  const [isOnline, setIsOnline] = useState(navigator.onLine);
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const handleOnline = () => setIsOnline(true);
+    const handleOffline = () => setIsOnline(false);
+
+    window.addEventListener('online', handleOnline);
+    window.addEventListener('offline', handleOffline);
+
+    return () => {
+      window.removeEventListener('online', handleOnline);
+      window.removeEventListener('offline', handleOffline);
+    };
+  }, []);
+
+  return isOnline;
+}
+```
+
+### 5. 生产环境优化
+移除调试日志或使用日志级别：
+```typescript
+const DEBUG = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development';
+
+if (DEBUG) {
+  console.log('[API Client] Request:', ...);
+}
+```

+# ColaFlow API 连接问题诊断指南
+
+## 修复完成时间
+2025-11-03
+
+## 问题描述
+项目列表页面无法显示项目数据，前端可以访问但无法连接到后端 API。
+
+## 已实施的修复
+
+### 1. 增强 API 客户端调试（lib/api/client.ts）
+- 添加了 API URL 的控制台日志输出
+- 为每个请求添加详细的日志记录
+- 增强错误处理和错误信息输出
+- 捕获网络错误并输出详细信息
+
+### 2. 改进项目页面错误显示（app/(dashboard)/projects/page.tsx）
+- 显示详细的错误信息（而不是通用消息）
+- 显示当前使用的 API URL
+- 添加故障排查步骤
+- 添加重试按钮
+- 添加控制台调试日志
+
+### 3. 增强 useProjects Hook（lib/hooks/use-projects.ts）
+- 添加详细的日志记录
+- 减少重试次数以更快失败（从 3次 降至 1次）
+- 捕获并记录所有错误
+
+## 如何使用调试功能
+
+### 步骤 1: 重启前端开发服务器
+```bash
+cd colaflow-web
+npm run dev
+```
+
+重启是必要的，因为 Next.js 需要重新加载以应用环境变量更改。
+
+### 步骤 2: 打开浏览器开发工具
+1. 访问 http://localhost:3000/projects
+2. 按 F12 打开开发者工具
+3. 切换到 Console 标签页
+
+### 步骤 3: 查看控制台输出
+你应该看到以下日志：
+
+```
+[API Client] API_URL: http://localhost:5167/api/v1
+[API Client] NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL: http://localhost:5167/api/v1
+[useProjects] Fetching projects... {page: 1, pageSize: 20}
+[API Client] Request: {method: 'GET', url: 'http://localhost:5167/api/v1/projects?page=1&pageSize=20', endpoint: '/projects?page=1&pageSize=20'}
+```
+
+如果出现错误，你会看到：
+```
+[API Client] Network error: {url: '...', error: 'Failed to fetch', errorObject: ...}
+[useProjects] Fetch failed: TypeError: Failed to fetch
+[ProjectsPage] Error loading projects: TypeError: Failed to fetch
+```
+
+### 步骤 4: 检查网络请求
+1. 在开发者工具中切换到 Network 标签页
+2. 刷新页面
+3. 查找对 `http://localhost:5167/api/v1/projects` 的请求
+4. 检查请求状态：
+   - **失败/红色**: 服务器未响应
+   - **404**: 路由不存在
+   - **500**: 服务器错误
+   - **CORS错误**: 跨域配置问题
+
+### 步骤 5: 查看错误屏幕
+如果 API 无法连接，页面会显示详细的错误卡片：
+- **Error Details**: 具体的错误消息
+- **API URL**: 当前配置的 API 地址
+- **Troubleshooting Steps**: 故障排查步骤
+- **Retry按钮**: 点击重试
+
+## 常见问题诊断
+
+### 问题 1: "Failed to fetch" 错误
+**原因**: 后端服务器未运行或无法访问
+
+**解决方案**:
+```bash
+# 检查后端是否在运行
+curl http://localhost:5167/api/v1/health
+
+# 如果失败，启动后端服务器
+cd ColaFlow.Api
+dotnet run
+```
+
+### 问题 2: API URL 使用默认端口 5000
+**原因**: 环境变量未正确加载
+
+**解决方案**:
+1. 检查 `.env.local` 文件是否存在且包含：
+   ```
+   NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:5167/api/v1
+   ```
+2. 重启 Next.js 开发服务器
+3. 确保没有 `.env` 文件覆盖设置
+
+### 问题 3: CORS 错误
+**原因**: 后端未配置允许前端域名
+
+**解决方案**: 检查后端 CORS 配置（ColaFlow.Api/Program.cs）:
+```csharp
+builder.Services.AddCors(options =>
+{
+    options.AddPolicy("AllowFrontend", policy =>
+    {
+        policy.WithOrigins("http://localhost:3000")
+              .AllowAnyMethod()
+              .AllowAnyHeader();
+    });
+});
+```
+
+### 问题 4: 404 错误
+**原因**: API 路由不存在或路径不正确
+
+**解决方案**:
+1. 检查后端路由配置
+2. 确认 API 前缀是 `/api/v1`
+3. 检查控制器路由是否正确
+
+## 验证修复
+
+### 成功的日志输出示例
+```
+[API Client] API_URL: http://localhost:5167/api/v1
+[useProjects] Fetching projects...
+[API Client] Request: GET http://localhost:5167/api/v1/projects?page=1&pageSize=20
+[API Client] Response: {url: '...', status: 200, data: [...]}
+[useProjects] Fetch successful: [...]
+[ProjectsPage] State: {isLoading: false, error: null, projects: [...]}
+```
+
+### 检查清单
+- [ ] 控制台显示正确的 API URL (5167端口)
+- [ ] 网络请求显示 200 状态码
+- [ ] 控制台显示成功的响应数据
+- [ ] 页面显示项目列表或"No projects yet"消息
+- [ ] 没有错误消息或红色日志
+
+## 下一步行动
+
+### 如果问题仍然存在：
+1. **检查后端日志**: 查看后端控制台输出
+2. **测试 API 直接访问**: 使用 curl 或 Postman 测试 API
+3. **检查防火墙**: 确保端口 5167 未被阻止
+4. **检查端口冲突**: 确认没有其他程序使用 5167 端口
+
+### 如果问题已解决：
+1. 移除调试日志（生产环境）
+2. 添加更好的错误处理
+3. 考虑添加 API 健康检查端点
+4. 实施重试逻辑和超时处理

+#### M1 EF Core Navigation Property Warnings Fix - COMPLETE ✅
+
+**Task Completed**: 2025-11-03 14:00
+**Responsible**: Backend Agent
+**Issue Severity**: Warning (not blocking, but improper configuration)
+
+**Problem Root Cause**:
+- EF Core was creating shadow properties (ProjectId1, EpicId1, StoryId1) for foreign keys
+- Value objects (ProjectId, EpicId, StoryId) were incorrectly configured as foreign keys
+- Navigation properties referenced private backing fields instead of public properties
+- Led to SQL queries using incorrect column names and redundant columns
+
+**Warning Messages Resolved**:
+```
+Entity type 'Epic' has property 'ProjectId1' created by EF Core as shadow property
+Entity type 'Story' has property 'EpicId1' created by EF Core as shadow property
+Entity type 'WorkTask' has property 'StoryId1' created by EF Core as shadow property
+```
+
+**Solution Implemented**:
+- Changed foreign key configuration to use string column names instead of property expressions
+- Updated navigation property references from "_epics" to "Epics" (use property names, not field names)
+- Applied fix to all entity configurations: ProjectConfiguration, EpicConfiguration, StoryConfiguration, WorkTaskConfiguration
+
+**Configuration Changes Example**:
+```csharp
+// BEFORE (Incorrect - causes shadow properties):
+.HasMany(p => p.Epics)
+    .WithOne()
+    .HasForeignKey(e => e.EpicId)  // ❌ Tries to use value object as FK
+    .HasPrincipalKey(p => p.Id);
+
+// AFTER (Correct - uses string reference):
+.HasMany("Epics")  // ✅ Use property name string
+    .WithOne()
+    .HasForeignKey("ProjectId")  // ✅ Use column name string
+    .HasPrincipalKey("Id");
+```
+
+**Database Migration**:
+- [x] Deleted old migration: 20251102220422_InitialCreate
+- [x] Created new migration: 20251103000604_FixValueObjectForeignKeys
+- [x] Applied migration successfully to PostgreSQL database

 ### Architecture Decisions
 
+- **2025-11-03**: **EF Core Value Object Foreign Key Configuration** (CONFIRMED)
+  - **Decision**: Use string-based foreign key configuration for value object IDs
+  - **Rationale**: Avoid shadow properties, cleaner SQL queries, proper DDD value object handling
+  - **Implementation**: Changed from `.HasForeignKey(e => e.EpicId)` to `.HasForeignKey("ProjectId")`
+  - **Impact**: Eliminated EF Core warnings, improved query performance, better alignment with DDD principles
+
+- **2025-11-03**: **Kanban Board API Design** (CONFIRMED)
+  - **Decision**: Dedicated UpdateTaskStatus endpoint for drag & drop operations
+  - **Endpoint**: PUT /api/v1/tasks/{id}/status
+  - **Rationale**: Separate status updates from general task updates, optimized for UI interactions
+  - **Impact**: Simplified frontend drag & drop logic, better separation of concerns
+
+- **2025-11-03**: **Frontend Drag & Drop Library Selection** (CONFIRMED)
+  - **Decision**: Use @dnd-kit (core + sortable) for Kanban board drag & drop
+  - **Rationale**: Modern, accessible, performant, TypeScript support, better than react-beautiful-dnd
+  - **Alternative Considered**: react-beautiful-dnd (no longer maintained)
+  - **Impact**: Smooth drag & drop UX, accessibility compliant, future-proof
+
+- **2025-11-03**: **API Endpoint Design Pattern** (CONFIRMED)
+  - **Decision**: RESTful nested resources for hierarchical entities
+  - **Pattern**:
+    - `/api/v1/projects/{projectId}/epics` - Create epic under project
+    - `/api/v1/epics/{epicId}/stories` - Create story under epic
+    - `/api/v1/stories/{storyId}/tasks` - Create task under story
+  - **Rationale**: Clear hierarchy, intuitive API, follows REST best practices
+  - **Impact**: Consistent API design, easy to understand and use
+
+- **2025-11-03**: **Exception Handling Standardization** (CONFIRMED)
+  - **Decision**: Adopt .NET 8+ standard `IExceptionHandler` interface
+  - **Rationale**: Follow Microsoft best practices, RFC 7807 compliance, better testability
+  - **Deprecation**: Custom middleware approach (GlobalExceptionHandlerMiddleware)
+  - **Implementation**: GlobalExceptionHandler with ProblemDetails standard
+  - **Impact**: Improved error responses, proper HTTP status codes (ValidationException → 400)
+
+- **2025-11-03**: **Package Version Strategy** (CONFIRMED)
+  - **Decision**: Upgrade to MediatR 13.1.0 + AutoMapper 15.1.0 (commercial versions)
+  - **Rationale**: Access to latest features, commercial support, license compliance
+  - **License**: LuckyPennySoftware commercial license (valid until November 2026)
+  - **Configuration**: License keys stored in appsettings.Development.json
+  - **Impact**: No more deprecation warnings, improved API compatibility
+
+- **2025-11-02**: **Frontend Technology Stack Confirmation** (CONFIRMED)
+  - **Decision**: Next.js 16 + React 19 (latest stable versions)
+  - **Server State**: TanStack Query v5 (data fetching, caching, synchronization)
+  - **Client State**: Zustand (UI state management)
+  - **UI Components**: shadcn/ui (accessible, customizable components)
+  - **Forms**: React Hook Form + Zod (type-safe validation)
+  - **Rationale**: Latest stable versions, excellent developer experience, strong TypeScript support
+
 - **2025-11-02**: **Naming Convention Standards** (CONFIRMED)
   - **Decision**: Keep "Infrastructure" naming (not "InfrastructureDataLayer")
   - **Rationale**: Follows industry standard (70% of projects use "Infrastructure")
