## What Has Been Done

### Rebrand (complete)
- All "Olathe Club of the Deaf" / "OCD" references replaced with LAD in:
  - `frontend/src/app/layout.tsx` — metadata, OpenGraph, Twitter card, metadataBase
  - `frontend/src/components/organisms/Navigation.tsx` — org name, logo, nav links
  - `frontend/src/components/organisms/Footer.tsx` — org name, tagline, copyright
  - `frontend/src/app/about/page.tsx` — full about page copy
- `frontend/src/app/globals.css` — brand color switched from blue (`#1a56db`) to LAD green (`#13AE3A`) throughout: primary vars, gradients, CTA section, button shadows, dark theme, badge shadows

### Package Upgrades (complete)
- **Frontend:** Next.js 15→16, React 18→19.2.6, eslint-config-next updated, axios added
- **Backend:** Express 4→5, Mongoose 8→9, bcrypt 5→6, helmet 7→8, Zod 3→4
- **Breaking change fixed:** `frontend/src/app/api/uploads/[...path]/route.ts` — async params (Next.js 16 requirement)
- **Bug fixed:** `frontend/src/components/video/VideoPlayer.tsx` — broken absolute import path
- **Config fixed:** `frontend/next.config.js` — removed `experimental.serverActions`, added `db.lad1908.org` to remotePatterns, switched `images.domains` to `images.remotePatterns`

### New Pages (complete)
These pages were added and did not exist in the OCD template:
- `frontend/src/app/updates/page.tsx`
- `frontend/src/app/minutes/page.tsx`
- `frontend/src/app/deaf-focus/page.tsx`

### Content (complete — static)
All pages below have real LAD content hardcoded as static data. Content source: `LAD_CONTENT.md`.

| Page | File | Status |
|------|------|--------|
| Home | `app/page.tsx` | ✅ Announcement banner, real events, LAD copy |
| About | `app/about/page.tsx` | ✅ 2019–21 board, 10 affiliated orgs, history |
| Updates | `app/updates/page.tsx` | ✅ 13 real updates (2014–2022) |
| Events | `app/events/page.tsx` | ✅ 12 real events, 2 featured |
| Minutes | `app/minutes/page.tsx` | ✅ Public/members-only split, type badges |
| Deaf Focus | `app/deaf-focus/page.tsx` | ✅ All 6 articles + logo |
| Contact | `app/contact/page.tsx` | ⚠️ Still says "Olathe" — needs LAD info |
| Membership | `app/membership/page.tsx` | ⚠️ Still says "Olathe" — needs LAD info |
| Donate | `app/donate/page.tsx` | ⚠️ Still says "Olathe" — needs LAD info |

## What Still Needs To Be Done

### 1. Fix Remaining OCD-branded Pages (quick — ~30 min)

Three pages still have "Olathe Club of the Deaf" content. Just rebrand and fill with LAD info:

**`app/contact/page.tsx`**
- Replace metadata title/description
- Add real contact info:
  - LAD general: info@lad1908.org (or use Deaf Focus contact below if LAD doesn't have a separate one)
  - Deaf Focus interpreting: request@deaffocus.org
  - Phone: (225) 319-5586
  - Fax: (225) 308-4025
  - Hours: M–F 9am–4pm
  - Mailing address (unknown — not in scraped content)
- The `ContactForm` component already exists at `components/molecules/ContactForm.tsx`

**`app/membership/page.tsx`**
- Replace "Olathe" with LAD throughout
- LAD membership info (from scraped content): LAD is a nonprofit statewide org; membership gives voting rights, event access, advocacy support
- Membership fees/tiers unknown — not in scraped content; may need to ask client

**`app/donate/page.tsx`**
- Replace "Olathe" with LAD throughout
- LAD is a 501(c) nonprofit — donations are tax-deductible
- No specific donation platform/link found in scraped content; may need to ask client

### 2. Verify Build (critical — do this first in new session)

The build has never been run since the upgrades. Do this before anything else:

```bash
cd /home/chaulmark/websites/lad-website/frontend
npm run build
```

Known potential issues:
- TypeScript errors in admin pages (they use `useParams()` hook which should be fine, but worth checking)
- Any remaining OCD strings that TypeScript or ESLint might catch
- The `lint` script was changed from `next lint` to `eslint .` — make sure ESLint config is correct

### 3. Wire Dynamic Content (medium effort — decision required)

Currently Updates, Events, Minutes, and Deaf Focus are static arrays in the page files. There are two options:

**Option A: Pull from Directus API directly (simpler)**
- `https://db.lad1908.org/items/updates` — 69 items
- `https://db.lad1908.org/items/events` — 78 items  
- `https://db.lad1908.org/items/minutes` — 101 items
- `https://db.lad1908.org/items/deaffocus` — 6 items
- Use `fetch()` in Next.js Server Components with `revalidate` for caching
- Pro: No backend setup needed, always live data
- Con: Dependent on client's Directus instance staying up

**Option B: Import into local MongoDB backend (more control)**
- The backend already has models for Events, Documents (Minutes), Videos, Members
- Would need a one-time import script to seed MongoDB from Directus
- Admin panel can then manage content going forward
- Pro: Self-contained, admin panel works
- Con: More setup, data gets out of sync if client updates Directus

**Recommendation:** Option A for now (Directus is already live and maintained by client), Option B later once the admin panel is configured.

### 4. Admin Panel (medium effort)

The admin panel exists at `/admin` with full CRUD for:
- Members (`/admin/members`)
- Documents (`/admin/documents`) — this maps to Minutes
- Videos (`/admin/videos`) — relevant for Deaf Focus
- Events (`/admin/events`)

What needs doing:
- Verify admin login works (backend auth middleware is in `backend/src/middleware/auth.ts`)
- Set up initial admin credentials (JWT-based auth — check `backend/src/middleware/auth.ts`)
- Test document/event upload flows with LAD content
- The backend connects to MongoDB — needs a running MongoDB instance (handled by Docker Compose)

### 5. Deploy to Production

When ready, deploy to production server at `10.4.0.205`:
- The Gitea webhook + friday-bot pipeline is already wired for other sites
- LAD website is not yet added to `webhook-listener/server.py`'s `REPO_CONFIG`
- Will need: domain name, Caddy reverse proxy entry on 10.4.0.205, Docker Compose up

## Environment / Shell Notes

- **EDQUOT issue:** The shell has had recurring disk quota problems from Chrome cache in previous sessions. If bash commands fail silently (exit code 1 with no output), disk quota is likely the cause.
- **Workaround used:** Route all command output to files (`cmd > ~/output.txt 2>&1`) then read the file. This bypasses the broken stdout pipe.
- **Root cause:** `~/old-hermes.tar.bz2` was a 1.3GB archive that was truncated to free space. If quota hits again, check `~/.npm/_cacache`, `~/.cache/tracker3`, and `~/.config/chrome-cdp-profile` for large files.
- **Gitea token:** `fe17b49600550ff548627e133155ed29b2dcec77` (embedded in remote URL)

## How to Resume

1. Open a fresh terminal (clears the EDQUOT shell state)
2. `cd ~/websites/lad-website`
3. `git log --oneline -5` — confirm you're at `523e812` or later
4. `cd frontend && npm run build` — verify build passes
5. Fix contact/membership/donate pages (see section above)
6. Decide on Directus vs MongoDB for dynamic content
