- New `server/dev.ts`: Hono dev server via @hono/node-server with process.env → Bindings mapping and in-memory KV/R2 stubs - `npm run dev` now uses Hono (same app as CF Workers production) - `npm run dev:legacy` preserved as fallback for the old Express entry - Remove 15 legacy lib files only used by Express routes.ts (-4,004 lines): tokenKeepAlive, chargeAutomation, reconciliation, bookkeeping-workflows, storage-helpers, stripe-connect, wave-bookkeeping, chittyrental-integration, batch-import, openaiBudget, google-drive-ingestion, universalConnector, replitAuth, bootstrap.ts, db.ts - Inline no-op budget stubs in openai.ts (was the only active consumer) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

PR Review — chore: migrate dev server to Hono, remove 15 legacy modulesThis is a clean, well-scoped PR. The direction is exactly right — running the same Hono app in dev that ships to Workers eliminates parity drift and the 15 deleted modules are confirmed dead code. A few things worth addressing before merging: Issues to fix1. // package.json

Add @hono/node-server to project dependencies
The new dev entry imports @hono/node-server, but this package is not declared in dependencies/devDependencies, so a clean install cannot resolve it. In this commit, both npm run dev and npm run check fail immediately (ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND / TS2307), which blocks the primary development workflow and TypeScript checks.

Do not point production start script at dev-only server
start now launches dist/dev.js, which is built from the local dev entrypoint that hardcodes in-memory KV/R2 and a stub ASSETS.fetch returning 404. Any deployment relying on npm start will therefore run with dev stubs instead of production bindings, and non-API routes will fail to serve built frontend assets.

Remove or repair broken dev:legacy fallback script
The commit advertises dev:legacy as a fallback, but server/index.ts now fails during module resolution because this same change deletes files still imported by the legacy route stack (for example server/routes.ts imports ./db and other removed legacy modules). As committed, npm run dev:legacy exits with ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND, so the documented fallback path is unusable.

Pull request overview
Migrates local development to run the production Hono app via @hono/node-server, and removes a large set of legacy Express-only modules that were previously tied to server/routes.ts.
Changes:
- Added a new Node-based Hono dev entrypoint (
server/dev.ts) that mapsprocess.envinto Worker-style bindings and provides in-memory KV/R2 stubs. - Updated
package.jsonscripts sonpm run devruns the Hono dev server, and introduceddev:legacyas a fallback. - Deleted numerous legacy Express integration/workflow modules (Wave bookkeeping, Stripe connect, reconciliation, batch import, etc.), plus legacy DB/bootstrap helpers.

dev:legacy points at server/index.ts, but the legacy Express server still imports modules that this PR deletes (e.g. ./db, ./lib/storage-helpers, ./lib/chargeAutomation). As-is, npm run dev:legacy will fail to start and tsc will fail on missing modules. Either keep the required legacy modules, refactor the legacy server to remove those imports, or remove/disable the dev:legacy script (and exclude legacy entrypoints from the TypeScript build) if legacy support is being dropped.

build/start now bundle and run server/dev.ts, but that entrypoint hardcodes in-memory KV/R2 and an ASSETS fetcher that always returns 404. This means npm start will not serve the built client (and sessions/storage will be non-persistent), which differs from the previous index.ts behavior and the repo docs that describe a combined API+client server. Consider keeping a separate production Node entry that serves Vite build output (or wiring a real file-based ASSETS implementation for Node), and reserving server/dev.ts for local API-only dev.

DATABASE_URL is defaulted to an empty string when unset. The Hono app always constructs a Neon/Drizzle DB via createDb(c.env.DATABASE_URL), which will throw or behave unpredictably with an empty connection string. Fail fast in buildEnv() when DATABASE_URL is missing (with a clear error), or provide a safe dev default (e.g., a local Postgres URL) so npm run dev doesn’t crash later with a less actionable error.

PUBLIC_APP_BASE_URL defaults to http://localhost:${PORT} (the API server), but this file’s header comment says Vite runs separately and proxies /api to this server. OAuth callbacks redirect users to ${PUBLIC_APP_BASE_URL}/connections...; if the UI is on Vite’s origin, redirects will land on the API port where no UI/assets are served (the ASSETS stub returns 404). Default PUBLIC_APP_BASE_URL to the Vite origin (or require it explicitly) so OAuth flows land back on the UI host during local dev.

The startup banner prints http://localhost:${PORT} which implies the full app is available there, but this dev server uses an ASSETS stub that always returns 404, so non-API routes will not render the client. Consider adjusting the log output to clarify this is an API server (and point to the separate Vite URL), or implement a Node assets handler so the printed URL is accurate.

The Hono dev migration (PR #81) broke `npm start` — the ASSETS stub always returned 404, so the built SPA was never served. Replace the stub with a real file server that reads dist/public/ and falls back to index.html for SPA routing when NODE_ENV=production.
