User Story: As a developer, I need the cloud-reader repository to have a clear and unified architecture so that maintenance overhead is reduced and unintended runtime conflicts are prevented.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Architectural Delineation: The repository must contain precisely one designated backend application and one designated frontend application at the top level or within clearly defined monorepo application folders.
  • Backend Consolidation: The api and backend directories must be reviewed. One must be identified as the canonical backend, and the other must be either completely removed or its essential functionality meticulously merged into the chosen canonical backend, ensuring no duplication of services like authentication, data models, or core business logic.
  • Frontend Consolidation: The frontend and web directories must be reviewed. One must be identified as the canonical frontend, and the other must be either completely removed or its essential UI components and features meticulously integrated into the chosen canonical frontend, ensuring a single, cohesive user interface.
  • Dependency Resolution: All remaining application dependencies (e.g., requirements.txt for Python, package.json for Node.js) must be updated and verifiable for the consolidated backend and frontend.
  • Build & Deployment Alignment: The docker-compose.yml and any other packaging or deployment scripts must be modified to exclusively build, run, and manage the consolidated backend and frontend, without reference to the deprecated or merged components.
  • Updated Documentation: The project's README.md or dedicated architectural documentation must be updated to clearly describe the consolidated architecture, the primary entry points for both backend and frontend, and comprehensive instructions for development setup and deployment.
  • No Residual Files: After consolidation, no residual or orphaned files from the removed or merged implementations should remain in the codebase.
User Story: As a developer, I need the `cloud-reader` repository to have a clear and unified architecture so that maintenance overhead is reduced and unintended runtime conflicts are prevented. Acceptance Criteria: * **Architectural Delineation:** The repository must contain precisely one designated backend application and one designated frontend application at the top level or within clearly defined monorepo application folders. * **Backend Consolidation:** The `api` and `backend` directories must be reviewed. One must be identified as the canonical backend, and the other must be either completely removed or its essential functionality meticulously merged into the chosen canonical backend, ensuring no duplication of services like authentication, data models, or core business logic. * **Frontend Consolidation:** The `frontend` and `web` directories must be reviewed.
