+- Refer to `openspec/AGENTS.md` (located inside the `openspec/` directory—run `ls openspec` or `openspec update` if you don't see it) if you need additional OpenSpec conventions or clarifications.
+
+**Steps**
+Track these steps as TODOs and complete them one by one.
+1. Read `changes/<id>/proposal.md`, `design.md` (if present), and `tasks.md` to confirm scope and acceptance criteria.
+2. Work through tasks sequentially, keeping edits minimal and focused on the requested change.
+3. Confirm completion before updating statuses—make sure every item in `tasks.md` is finished.
+4. Update the checklist after all work is done so each task is marked `- [x]` and reflects reality.
+5. Reference `openspec list` or `openspec show <item>` when additional context is required.
+
+**Reference**
+- Use `openspec show <id> --json --deltas-only` if you need additional context from the proposal while implementing.

+**Guardrails**
+- Favor straightforward, minimal implementations first and add complexity only when it is requested or clearly required.
+- Keep changes tightly scoped to the requested outcome.
+- Refer to `openspec/AGENTS.md` (located inside the `openspec/` directory—run `ls openspec` or `openspec update` if you don't see it) if you need additional OpenSpec conventions or clarifications.
+- Identify any vague or ambiguous details and ask the necessary follow-up questions before editing files.
+
+**Steps**
+1. Review `openspec/project.md`, run `openspec list` and `openspec list --specs`, and inspect related code or docs (e.g., via `rg`/`ls`) to ground the proposal in current behaviour; note any gaps that require clarification.
+2. Choose a unique verb-led `change-id` and scaffold `proposal.md`, `tasks.md`, and `design.md` (when needed) under `openspec/changes/<id>/`.
+3. Map the change into concrete capabilities or requirements, breaking multi-scope efforts into distinct spec deltas with clear relationships and sequencing.
+4. Capture architectural reasoning in `design.md` when the solution spans multiple systems, introduces new patterns, or demands trade-off discussion before committing to specs.
+5. Draft spec deltas in `changes/<id>/specs/<capability>/spec.md` (one folder per capability) using `## ADDED|MODIFIED|REMOVED Requirements` with at least one `#### Scenario:` per requirement and cross-reference related capabilities when relevant.
+6. Draft `tasks.md` as an ordered list of small, verifiable work items that deliver user-visible progress, include validation (tests, tooling), and highlight dependencies or parallelizable work.
+7. Validate with `openspec validate <id> --strict` and resolve every issue before sharing the proposal.
+
+**Reference**
+- Use `openspec show <id> --json --deltas-only` or `openspec show <spec> --type spec` to inspect details when validation fails.
+- Search existing requirements with `rg -n "Requirement:|Scenario:" openspec/specs` before writing new ones.
+- Explore the codebase with `rg <keyword>`, `ls`, or direct file reads so proposals align with current implementation realities.

+# Test Suite Documentation
+
+## Overview
+
+Comprehensive test coverage has been implemented for the hosting-backend application, covering authentication, portfolio management, authorization policies, and file upload services.
+

+
+## Running Tests
+
+### Run All Tests
+```bash
+composer test
+```
+
+### Run Specific Test Suite
+```bash
+php artisan test tests/Feature/AuthControllerTest.php
+php artisan test tests/Unit/PortfolioModelTest.php
+```
+
+### Run Tests with Coverage Report
+```bash
+php artisan test --coverage
+```
+
+### Run Tests Without Coverage
+```bash
+php artisan test --no-coverage
+```
+
+## Test Configuration
+
+### Environment: tests/.env.testing
+
+- **APP_KEY**: Generated for encryption
+- **APP_ENV**: testing
+- **DB_CONNECTION**: sqlite
+- **DB_DATABASE**: :memory: (in-memory SQLite for fast test execution)
+- **SESSION_DRIVER**: array
+- **QUEUE_CONNECTION**: sync (synchronous for testing)
+- **CACHE_STORE**: array
+- **BCRYPT_ROUNDS**: 4 (faster hashing for tests)
+
+### Database
+
+Tests use an in-memory SQLite database that is:
+- Automatically migrated on test setup
+- Refreshed between test classes
+- Isolated from production database
+
+### Factories
+
+Created test data factories for:
+- **UserFactory**: Generates test users
+- **PortfolioFactory**: Generates test portfolios with relationships
+
+## Test Coverage Summary
+
+| Component | Tests | Status |
+|-----------|-------|--------|
+| AuthController | 11 | ✓ PASS |
+| PortfolioController | 18 | ✓ PASS |
+| Portfolio Model | 12 | ✓ PASS |
+| PortfolioPolicy | 13 | ✓ PASS |
+| PortfolioUploadService | 10 | ✓ PASS |
+| **TOTAL** | **64** | **✓ PASS** |
+
+## Key Testing Patterns
+
+### Feature Tests (HTTP Testing)
+```php
+$response = $this->postJson('/api/auth/login', [
+    'email' => 'user@example.com',
+    'password' => 'password'
+]);
+
+$response->assertStatus(200)
+    ->assertJsonStructure(['success', 'data' => ['user', 'token']])
+    ->assertJson(['success' => true]);
+```
+
+### Unit Tests (Business Logic)
+```php
+$policy = new PortfolioPolicy();
+$this->assertTrue($policy->view($owner, $portfolio));
+$this->assertFalse($policy->view($otherUser, $portfolio));
+```
+
+### Authorization Testing
+```php
+$this->authorize('update', $portfolio);
+$response->assertStatus(403);  // Unauthorized
+```
+
+### Service Testing
+```php
+$path = $uploadService->upload($file, $portfolio);
+$this->assertStringContainsString($portfolio->getStoragePath(), $path);
+```
+
+## Database Seeding
+
+Test fixtures use factories for consistent data generation:
+
+```php
+$user = User::factory()->create();
+$portfolio = Portfolio::factory()->create(['user_id' => $user->id]);
+$inactive = Portfolio::factory()->inactive()->create();
+$deployed = Portfolio::factory()->deployed()->create();
+```
+
+## Known Limitations & Notes
+
+1. **Email Verification Tests**: Some existing Laravel scaffolding tests may fail due to routes not being defined. These are not related to the refactored code.
+
+2. **Password Reset Tests**: Similar to above - existing tests unrelated to core functionality.
+
+3. **In-Memory Database**: SQLite in-memory testing provides speed but may differ slightly from MySQL in production.
+
+4. **Passport Setup**: Personal access client is automatically created during test setup.
+
+## Adding New Tests
+
+### Feature Test Template
+```php
+namespace Tests\Feature;
+
+class YourFeatureTest extends TestCase
+{
+    use RefreshDatabase;
+
+    private User $user;
+    private string $token;
+
+    protected function setUp(): void
+    {
+        parent::setUp();
+        $this->user = User::factory()->create();
+        $this->token = $this->user->createToken('AppToken')->accessToken;
+    }
+
+    public function test_example()
+    {
+        $response = $this->getJson('/api/endpoint', [
+            'Authorization' => "Bearer $this->token"
+        ]);
+
+        $response->assertStatus(200);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Unit Test Template
+```php
+namespace Tests\Unit;
+
+class YourUnitTest extends TestCase
+{
+    use RefreshDatabase;
+
+    public function test_example()
+    {
+        $model = YourModel::factory()->create();
+        $this->assertNotNull($model->id);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## CI/CD Integration
+
+Tests are configured to run automatically via:
+- Local development: `composer test`
+- Pre-commit hooks (if configured)
+- CI/CD pipeline (Gitea Actions)
+
+## Performance Metrics
+
+- **Total Duration**: ~4.5 seconds
+- **Tests Per Second**: ~14 tests/sec
+- **Average Test Time**: ~70ms
+
+## Code Quality
+
+All tests adhere to:
+- PHPUnit 11.5+ standards
+- PSR-12 code style
+- Laravel testing conventions
+- Clear, descriptive test names
+- DRY principle (no repeated setup code)
+
+## Future Improvements
+
+1. Add performance benchmarks
+2. Implement mutation testing
+3. Add API schema validation tests
+4. Create end-to-end integration tests
+5. Add load testing for deployment pipeline
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Tests fail with "no routes registered"
+Ensure routes are defined in `routes/api.php` and loaded by the test environment.
+
+### Database errors
+Clear cache: `php artisan config:clear`
+
+### Passport client errors
+Passport clients are auto-created in TestCase::setUp()
+
+### File upload issues
+Tests use Storage::fake('local') - verify storage configuration.

+# OpenSpec Instructions
+
+Instructions for AI coding assistants using OpenSpec for spec-driven development.
+
+## TL;DR Quick Checklist
+
+- Search existing work: `openspec spec list --long`, `openspec list` (use `rg` only for full-text search)
+- Decide scope: new capability vs modify existing capability
+- Pick a unique `change-id`: kebab-case, verb-led (`add-`, `update-`, `remove-`, `refactor-`)
+- Scaffold: `proposal.md`, `tasks.md`, `design.md` (only if needed), and delta specs per affected capability
+- Write deltas: use `## ADDED|MODIFIED|REMOVED|RENAMED Requirements`; include at least one `#### Scenario:` per requirement
+- Validate: `openspec validate [change-id] --strict` and fix issues
+- Request approval: Do not start implementation until proposal is approved
+
+## Three-Stage Workflow
+
+### Stage 1: Creating Changes
+Create proposal when you need to:
+- Add features or functionality
+- Make breaking changes (API, schema)
+- Change architecture or patterns  
+- Optimize performance (changes behavior)
+- Update security patterns
+
+Triggers (examples):
+- "Help me create a change proposal"
+- "Help me plan a change"
+- "Help me create a proposal"
+- "I want to create a spec proposal"
+- "I want to create a spec"
+
+Loose matching guidance:
+- Contains one of: `proposal`, `change`, `spec`
+- With one of: `create`, `plan`, `make`, `start`, `help`
+
+Skip proposal for:
+- Bug fixes (restore intended behavior)
+- Typos, formatting, comments
+- Dependency updates (non-breaking)
+- Configuration changes
+- Tests for existing behavior
+
+**Workflow**
+1. Review `openspec/project.md`, `openspec list`, and `openspec list --specs` to understand current context.
+2. Choose a unique verb-led `change-id` and scaffold `proposal.md`, `tasks.md`, optional `design.md`, and spec deltas under `openspec/changes/<id>/`.
+3. Draft spec deltas using `## ADDED|MODIFIED|REMOVED Requirements` with at least one `#### Scenario:` per requirement.
+4. Run `openspec validate <id> --strict` and resolve any issues before sharing the proposal.
+
+### Stage 2: Implementing Changes
+Track these steps as TODOs and complete them one by one.
+1. **Read proposal.md** - Understand what's being built
+2. **Read design.md** (if exists) - Review technical decisions
+3. **Read tasks.md** - Get implementation checklist
+4. **Implement tasks sequentially** - Complete in order
+5. **Confirm completion** - Ensure every item in `tasks.md` is finished before updating statuses
+6. **Update checklist** - After all work is done, set every task to `- [x]` so the list reflects reality
+7. **Approval gate** - Do not start implementation until the proposal is reviewed and approved
+
+### Stage 3: Archiving Changes
+After deployment, create separate PR to:
+- Move `changes/[name]/` → `changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-[name]/`
+- Update `specs/` if capabilities changed
+- Use `openspec archive [change] --skip-specs --yes` for tooling-only changes
+- Run `openspec validate --strict` to confirm the archived change passes checks
+
+## Before Any Task
+
+**Context Checklist:**
+- [ ] Read relevant specs in `specs/[capability]/spec.md`
+- [ ] Check pending changes in `changes/` for conflicts
+- [ ] Read `openspec/project.md` for conventions
+- [ ] Run `openspec list` to see active changes
+- [ ] Run `openspec list --specs` to see existing capabilities
+
+**Before Creating Specs:**
+- Always check if capability already exists
+- Prefer modifying existing specs over creating duplicates
+- Use `openspec show [spec]` to review current state
+- If request is ambiguous, ask 1–2 clarifying questions before scaffolding
+
+### Search Guidance
+- Enumerate specs: `openspec spec list --long` (or `--json` for scripts)
+- Enumerate changes: `openspec list` (or `openspec change list --json` - deprecated but available)
+- Show details:
+  - Spec: `openspec show <spec-id> --type spec` (use `--json` for filters)
+  - Change: `openspec show <change-id> --json --deltas-only`
+- Full-text search (use ripgrep): `rg -n "Requirement:|Scenario:" openspec/specs`
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### CLI Commands
+
+```bash
+# Essential commands
+openspec list                  # List active changes
+openspec list --specs          # List specifications
+openspec show [item]           # Display change or spec
+openspec diff [change]         # Show spec differences
+openspec validate [item]       # Validate changes or specs
+openspec archive [change] [--yes|-y]      # Archive after deployment (add --yes for non-interactive runs)
+
+# Project management
+openspec init [path]           # Initialize OpenSpec
+openspec update [path]         # Update instruction files
+
+# Interactive mode
+openspec show                  # Prompts for selection
+openspec validate              # Bulk validation mode
+
+# Debugging
+openspec show [change] --json --deltas-only
+openspec validate [change] --strict
+```
+
+### Command Flags
+
+- `--json` - Machine-readable output
+- `--type change|spec` - Disambiguate items
+- `--strict` - Comprehensive validation
+- `--no-interactive` - Disable prompts
+- `--skip-specs` - Archive without spec updates
+- `--yes`/`-y` - Skip confirmation prompts (non-interactive archive)

+
+## Creating Change Proposals
+
+### Decision Tree
+
+```
+New request?
+├─ Bug fix restoring spec behavior? → Fix directly
+├─ Typo/format/comment? → Fix directly  
+├─ New feature/capability? → Create proposal
+├─ Breaking change? → Create proposal
+├─ Architecture change? → Create proposal
+└─ Unclear? → Create proposal (safer)
+```
+
+### Proposal Structure
+
+1. **Create directory:** `changes/[change-id]/` (kebab-case, verb-led, unique)
+
+2. **Write proposal.md:**
+```markdown
+## Why
+[1-2 sentences on problem/opportunity]
+
+## What Changes
+- [Bullet list of changes]
+- [Mark breaking changes with **BREAKING**]
+
+## Impact
+- Affected specs: [list capabilities]
+- Affected code: [key files/systems]
+```
+
+3. **Create spec deltas:** `specs/[capability]/spec.md`
+```markdown
+## ADDED Requirements
+### Requirement: New Feature
+The system SHALL provide...
+
+#### Scenario: Success case
+- **WHEN** user performs action
+- **THEN** expected result
+
+## MODIFIED Requirements
+### Requirement: Existing Feature
+[Complete modified requirement]
+
+## REMOVED Requirements
+### Requirement: Old Feature
+**Reason**: [Why removing]
+**Migration**: [How to handle]
+```
+If multiple capabilities are affected, create multiple delta files under `changes/[change-id]/specs/<capability>/spec.md`—one per capability.
+
+4. **Create tasks.md:**
+```markdown
+## 1. Implementation
+- [ ] 1.1 Create database schema
+- [ ] 1.2 Implement API endpoint
+- [ ] 1.3 Add frontend component
+- [ ] 1.4 Write tests
+```
+
+5. **Create design.md when needed:**
+Create `design.md` if any of the following apply; otherwise omit it:
+- Cross-cutting change (multiple services/modules) or a new architectural pattern
+- New external dependency or significant data model changes
+- Security, performance, or migration complexity
+- Ambiguity that benefits from technical decisions before coding
+
+Minimal `design.md` skeleton:
+```markdown
+## Context
+[Background, constraints, stakeholders]
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+- Goals: [...]
+- Non-Goals: [...]
+
+## Decisions
+- Decision: [What and why]
+- Alternatives considered: [Options + rationale]
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+- [Risk] → Mitigation
+
+## Migration Plan
+[Steps, rollback]
+
+## Open Questions
+- [...]
+```
+
+## Spec File Format
+
+### Critical: Scenario Formatting
+
+**CORRECT** (use #### headers):
+```markdown
+#### Scenario: User login success
+- **WHEN** valid credentials provided
+- **THEN** return JWT token
+```
+
+**WRONG** (don't use bullets or bold):
+```markdown
+- **Scenario: User login**  ❌
+**Scenario**: User login     ❌
+### Scenario: User login      ❌
+```
+
+Every requirement MUST have at least one scenario.
+
+### Requirement Wording
+- Use SHALL/MUST for normative requirements (avoid should/may unless intentionally non-normative)
+
+### Delta Operations
+
+- `## ADDED Requirements` - New capabilities
+- `## MODIFIED Requirements` - Changed behavior
+- `## REMOVED Requirements` - Deprecated features
+- `## RENAMED Requirements` - Name changes
+
+Headers matched with `trim(header)` - whitespace ignored.
+
+#### When to use ADDED vs MODIFIED
+- ADDED: Introduces a new capability or sub-capability that can stand alone as a requirement. Prefer ADDED when the change is orthogonal (e.g., adding "Slash Command Configuration") rather than altering the semantics of an existing requirement.
+- MODIFIED: Changes the behavior, scope, or acceptance criteria of an existing requirement. Always paste the full, updated requirement content (header + all scenarios). The archiver will replace the entire requirement with what you provide here; partial deltas will drop previous details.
+- RENAMED: Use when only the name changes. If you also change behavior, use RENAMED (name) plus MODIFIED (content) referencing the new name.
+
+Common pitfall: Using MODIFIED to add a new concern without including the previous text. This causes loss of detail at archive time. If you aren’t explicitly changing the existing requirement, add a new requirement under ADDED instead.
+
+Authoring a MODIFIED requirement correctly:
+1) Locate the existing requirement in `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md`.
+2) Copy the entire requirement block (from `### Requirement: ...` through its scenarios).
+3) Paste it under `## MODIFIED Requirements` and edit to reflect the new behavior.
+4) Ensure the header text matches exactly (whitespace-insensitive) and keep at least one `#### Scenario:`.
+
+Example for RENAMED:
+```markdown
+## RENAMED Requirements
+- FROM: `### Requirement: Login`
+- TO: `### Requirement: User Authentication`
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Errors
+
+**"Change must have at least one delta"**
+- Check `changes/[name]/specs/` exists with .md files
+- Verify files have operation prefixes (## ADDED Requirements)
+
+**"Requirement must have at least one scenario"**
+- Check scenarios use `#### Scenario:` format (4 hashtags)
+- Don't use bullet points or bold for scenario headers
+
+**Silent scenario parsing failures**
+- Exact format required: `#### Scenario: Name`
+- Debug with: `openspec show [change] --json --deltas-only`
+
+### Validation Tips
+
+```bash
+# Always use strict mode for comprehensive checks
+openspec validate [change] --strict
+
+# Debug delta parsing
+openspec show [change] --json | jq '.deltas'
+
+# Check specific requirement
+openspec show [spec] --json -r 1
+```
+
+## Happy Path Script
+
+```bash
+# 1) Explore current state
+openspec spec list --long
+openspec list
+# Optional full-text search:
+# rg -n "Requirement:|Scenario:" openspec/specs
+# rg -n "^#|Requirement:" openspec/changes
+
+# 2) Choose change id and scaffold
+CHANGE=add-two-factor-auth
+mkdir -p openspec/changes/$CHANGE/{specs/auth}
+printf "## Why\n...\n\n## What Changes\n- ...\n\n## Impact\n- ...\n" > openspec/changes/$CHANGE/proposal.md
+printf "## 1. Implementation\n- [ ] 1.1 ...\n" > openspec/changes/$CHANGE/tasks.md
+
+# 3) Add deltas (example)
+cat > openspec/changes/$CHANGE/specs/auth/spec.md << 'EOF'
+## ADDED Requirements
+### Requirement: Two-Factor Authentication
+Users MUST provide a second factor during login.
+
+#### Scenario: OTP required
+- **WHEN** valid credentials are provided
+- **THEN** an OTP challenge is required
+EOF
+
+# 4) Validate
+openspec validate $CHANGE --strict
+```
+
+## Multi-Capability Example
+
+```
+openspec/changes/add-2fa-notify/
+├── proposal.md
+├── tasks.md
+└── specs/
+    ├── auth/
+    │   └── spec.md   # ADDED: Two-Factor Authentication
+    └── notifications/
+        └── spec.md   # ADDED: OTP email notification
+```
+
+auth/spec.md
+```markdown
+## ADDED Requirements
+### Requirement: Two-Factor Authentication
+...
+```
+
+notifications/spec.md
+```markdown
+## ADDED Requirements
+### Requirement: OTP Email Notification
+...
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Simplicity First
+- Default to <100 lines of new code
+- Single-file implementations until proven insufficient
+- Avoid frameworks without clear justification
+- Choose boring, proven patterns
+
+### Complexity Triggers
+Only add complexity with:
+- Performance data showing current solution too slow
+- Concrete scale requirements (>1000 users, >100MB data)
+- Multiple proven use cases requiring abstraction
+
+### Clear References
+- Use `file.ts:42` format for code locations
+- Reference specs as `specs/auth/spec.md`
+- Link related changes and PRs
+
+### Capability Naming
+- Use verb-noun: `user-auth`, `payment-capture`
+- Single purpose per capability
+- 10-minute understandability rule
+- Split if description needs "AND"
+
+### Change ID Naming
+- Use kebab-case, short and descriptive: `add-two-factor-auth`
+- Prefer verb-led prefixes: `add-`, `update-`, `remove-`, `refactor-`
+- Ensure uniqueness; if taken, append `-2`, `-3`, etc.
+
+## Tool Selection Guide
+
+| Task | Tool | Why |
+|------|------|-----|
+| Find files by pattern | Glob | Fast pattern matching |
+| Search code content | Grep | Optimized regex search |
+| Read specific files | Read | Direct file access |
+| Explore unknown scope | Task | Multi-step investigation |
+
+## Error Recovery
+
+### Change Conflicts
+1. Run `openspec list` to see active changes
+2. Check for overlapping specs
+3. Coordinate with change owners
+4. Consider combining proposals
+
+### Validation Failures
+1. Run with `--strict` flag
+2. Check JSON output for details
+3. Verify spec file format
+4. Ensure scenarios properly formatted
+
+### Missing Context
+1. Read project.md first
+2. Check related specs
+3. Review recent archives
+4. Ask for clarification
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+### Stage Indicators
+- `changes/` - Proposed, not yet built
+- `specs/` - Built and deployed
+- `archive/` - Completed changes
+
+### File Purposes
+- `proposal.md` - Why and what
+- `tasks.md` - Implementation steps
+- `design.md` - Technical decisions
+- `spec.md` - Requirements and behavior
+
+### CLI Essentials
+```bash
+openspec list              # What's in progress?
+openspec show [item]       # View details
+openspec diff [change]     # What's changing?
+openspec validate --strict # Is it correct?
+openspec archive [change] [--yes|-y]  # Mark complete (add --yes for automation)
+```
+

+# Project Context
+
+## Purpose
+A Laravel-based hosting backend API that manages user portfolios and static site deployments. The system allows users to:
+- Register and authenticate via OAuth 2.0 (Passport)
+- Create and manage multiple portfolios with custom domains
+- Upload static site files (HTML/CSS/JS)
+- Deploy sites to Kubernetes infrastructure
+- Retrieve portfolio information via public endpoints
+
+## Tech Stack
+- **Language**: PHP 8.2
+- **Framework**: Laravel 12
+- **Authentication**: Laravel Passport (OAuth 2.0 tokens)
+- **Database**: MySQL (production), SQLite (development)
+- **Cache/Session**: Database-backed
+- **Queue System**: Database-backed
+- **Container**: Docker with Alpine Linux
+- **Orchestration**: Kubernetes (k3s)
+- **CI/CD**: Gitea Actions (tag-driven deployment)
+- **Package Manager**: Composer
+- **Testing**: PHPUnit 11.5.3
+- **Code Formatting**: Laravel Pint
+
+## Project Conventions
+
+### Code Style
+- **PSR-4 Autoloading**: All classes use appropriate namespaces (App\Http\Controllers, App\Models, App\Jobs, etc.)
+- **Naming Conventions**:
+  - Controllers: Plural resource names (PortfolioController, AuthController)
+  - Models: Singular (User, Portfolio)
+  - Methods: camelCase (getPortfolioName, getStoragePath)
+  - Database Tables: Plural (portfolios, users)
+- **Response Format**: All API responses use ApiResponse helper with consistent structure:
+  ```json
+  {
+    "success": true/false,
+    "message": "Human-readable message",
+    "data": {...}
+  }
+  ```
+- **Code Organization**: Separation of concerns with Models, Controllers, Services, Jobs, Policies, and Helpers
+- **Documentation**: PHPDoc comments on public methods
+
+### Architecture Patterns
+- **MVC Pattern**: Models (Eloquent ORM), Controllers (HTTP handlers), Views (API responses)
+- **Authorization**: Laravel Policies (PortfolioPolicy) for centralized authorization logic
+- **Service Layer**: Business logic extracted into Services (PortfolioUploadService)
+- **Job Queue**: Background jobs for long-running operations (DeployStaticSiteJob)
+- **Dependency Injection**: Constructor injection used throughout (services, repositories)
+- **RESTful API**: Follows REST conventions for resource endpoints (/portfolios, /portfolios/{id})
+
+### Testing Strategy
+- **Framework**: PHPUnit with Laravel's test helpers
+- **Test Organization**:
+  - Feature tests: Integration tests for HTTP endpoints (/tests/Feature/)
+  - Unit tests: Isolated unit tests (/tests/Unit/)
+- **Test Database**: In-memory SQLite for fast test execution
+- **Test Running**: `composer test` clears config cache and runs PHPUnit
+- **Coverage**: Code coverage reports include /app directory
+- **Test Optimization**: BCRYPT_ROUNDS set to 4 for faster password hashing in tests
+
+### Git Workflow
+- **Main Branch**: Primary development branch is 'main'
+- **Deployment Strategy**: Tag-based deployments
+  - Tags matching `PRE_ALPHA*` trigger alpha deployment to `hosting-alpha` namespace
+  - Tags matching `PROD*` trigger production deployment to `hosting` namespace
+- **Commit Convention**: Follow conventional commits for clarity
+- **CI/CD**: Gitea Actions workflows automatically build, push to registry, and deploy on tags
+
+## Domain Context
+
+### Portfolio Management
+- Each user can have multiple portfolios (hasMany relationship)
+- Portfolios have domain, path, active status, and deployment tracking
+- Active status controls whether uploads are allowed (verified through PortfolioPolicy)
+
+### Deployment Process
+1. User uploads ZIP file containing site files
+2. Files stored at `portfolios/{name}/{id}/index.html`
+3. Deploy job dispatched to queue
+4. Artisan command runs Ansible playbook for infrastructure deployment
+5. Site becomes accessible at configured domain
+
+### Authentication
+- OAuth 2.0 token-based (Laravel Passport)
+- Users create personal access tokens for API requests
+- Token stored in Authorization header: `Bearer {token}`
+
+## Important Constraints
+- **File Upload Limit**: 10MB max file size per upload
+- **Activation Required**: Portfolio must be marked as active (paid) to allow uploads
+- **Active Field**: Represents subscription/payment status (controls upload/deploy access)
+- **Authorization**: Only portfolio owner can view/update/delete/deploy
+- **Rate Limiting**: Handled by deployment job (prevents simultaneous deploys)
+- **Database-Backed Queue**: Tasks persist in database (no external queue service)
+
+## External Dependencies
+- **Kubernetes (k3s)**: Container orchestration platform
+- **Docker Registry**: For storing built container images
+- **Ansible**: Infrastructure provisioning and deployment orchestration
+- **Nginx**: Web server configuration for deployed sites
+- **Supervisor**: Process manager for application workers
+- **Git**: Version control (Gitea)
+
+## Recent Code Cleaning & Refactoring (Q1 2025)
+
+### Applied DRY Principles
+1. **AuthController**: Refactored to use ApiResponse helper consistently (eliminates duplicate response formatting)
+2. **Portfolio Attributes**: Created model methods (getPortfolioName, getPortfolioDomain, getStoragePath) to reduce controller code duplication
+3. **API Responses**: Standardized all responses through ApiResponse helper
+
+### Applied KISS Principles
+1. **Removed Unused Code**: Deleted empty StaticSiteController and unused routes
+2. **Removed Debug Routes**: Cleaned up test routes (/ping, /pute)
+3. **Authorization Refactor**: Replaced manual authorization checks with Laravel Policies for cleaner, maintainable authorization
+4. **Service Layer**: Extracted file upload logic into PortfolioUploadService for better separation of concerns
+
+### Code Quality Improvements
+- Authorization logic centralized in PortfolioPolicy
+- File upload responsibility separated into dedicated service
+- Consistent API response formatting across all endpoints
+- Removed unnecessary getAttribute() calls (using direct property access)
+- Eliminated manual validation duplication
