🛠️ Development Workflow

For Package Contributors:

1. Set up local development:

git clone <repository-url>
cd supernal-coding
npm install
npm link  # Makes 'sc' available globally

2. Test your changes:

sc --version          # Test global command
npm run sc -- --help  # Test via npm script
npm test              # Run test suite

3. Priority system testing:

# Test the intelligent priority system
sc priority update    # Recalculate all priorities
sc priority show      # View distribution

For End Users:

1. Install the package:

npm install -g supernal-coding

2. Initialize in your project:

cd your-project
sc init

3. Use the workflow:

sc validate --all           # Validate project
sc priority show            # Check priorities
sc kanban list              # View tasks

🎯 Priority Management System

The intelligent priority system automatically calculates requirement priorities based on:

• 🏗️ Foundational Systems: Auto-promote to Critical
• 🚧 Blocking Dependencies: Higher priority if blocking other tasks
• 🏥 Medical Compliance: Special handling for regulatory requirements
• System Architecture: Prioritize system-level requirements

Current Distribution:

• 17 Critical requirements (foundational systems)
• 11 High priority requirements
• 1 Medium priority requirement

🔧 Troubleshooting

📖 For comprehensive troubleshooting guides, visit code.supernal.ai/docs/troubleshooting

Command Not Found: 'sc'

# Check if npm link worked
which sc

# If not found, try:
npm unlink supernal-coding
npm link

# Or use npm scripts instead:
npm run sc -- --help

Permission Issues

# For global install permission issues:
npm config set prefix ~/.npm-global
export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH

# Or use npm link for development
npm link

Priority System Issues

# If priorities seem outdated:
sc priority update          # Recalculate all priorities
sc priority validate        # Check for issues

# Debug with direct script:
sc priority update

Documentation Server Issues

# Start the documentation server:
cd documentation && npm start

# If port 3000 is busy:
cd documentation && npm start -- --port 3001

# Check if server is running:
lsof -i :3000

# Rebuild documentation:
cd documentation && npm run build

🔐 Authentication Flow

The system uses centralized authentication to serve multiple Supernal products:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 1. User visits code.supernal.ai                    │
│    → Logs in via auth.supernal.ai                  │
└─────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────┘
                      ▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 2. auth.supernal.ai returns JWT bearer token       │
│    → Token contains user profile + subscription    │
└─────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────┘
                      ▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 3. Frontend sends requests to api.code.supernal.ai │
│    → Header: "Authorization: Bearer <token>"       │
└─────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────┘
                      ▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 4. api.code.supernal.ai validates token           │
│    → Calls auth.supernal.ai/validate               │
│    → Returns user features based on subscription   │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Benefits:

• Single sign-on across all Supernal products
• auth.supernal.ai serves multiple domains (main site, code tools, other products)
• api.code.supernal.ai is specific to this project's needs
• Clean separation of concerns
