Closes known issue 3. server/smoketest.py predated the login portal and had no
login step at all, so auth_gate refused every route after /api/health and the
documented way to verify a deploy reported a wall of failures against a healthy
stack.
- Signs in first, holding the session in an http.cookiejar on a shared opener.
urlopen() has no cookie support, which is why the session was dropped.
- Credentials from WP_SMOKE_USER / WP_SMOKE_PASSWORD, or --user/--password, so
a password need not land in shell history. Refuses to start without them
rather than running headlong into 401s.
- Checks the signed-in role up front and warns when it cannot archive or delete
a project, instead of failing six checks later for an unexplained reason.
- New exit code 2 for "could not run" (unreachable, or credentials missing or
rejected), kept distinct from 1 "ran and found problems".
- Also asserts the session is accepted on an authenticated route and refused
after sign-out; signs out at the end so a run on a shared host leaves none.
The working smoke test immediately caught a real bug: SQLite ships with foreign
keys disabled and the pragma is per-connection, so every ondelete="CASCADE" was
silently a no-op on dev while working on Postgres. Deleting a project orphaned its
SOPs, work packages and membership rows; deleting a user orphaned theirs. db.py
now sets PRAGMA foreign_keys=ON for SQLite, so dev matches production.
Enforcing them exposed two things that had been getting away with it:
- create_user adds an account and its ProjectMember rows in one flush, and the
ORM takes flush order from relationship() declarations. models.py has none by
design, so it emitted the child INSERT first and the database rejected it.
Fixed with a db.flush() after the account, and documented at the top of
models.py so the next same-flush pair does not rediscover it. The other three
call sites already commit the parent first.
- A write aimed at a since-deleted project used to leave an orphan row; with FKs
enforced it would have been an IntegrityError surfacing as a 500, which the
browser outbox retries forever (it only retires 4xx). require_project_writable
now refuses a vanished project with 409, like the archived case beside it.
Verified: smoke test 27/27 exit 0 against a live server (the cascade assertion now
passes on SQLite, which is what used to fail); credentials missing and credentials
rejected both abort cleanly with exit 2 and no stray PASS lines; a project_user run
warns up front and fails as described. Scope tests 93/93, live HTTP checks 29/29,
static JS checks 33/33. No orphan rows left in the database afterwards.

The api crash-looped because DATABASE_URL had an un-encoded special-char
password (@/!), so SQLAlchemy parsed part of the password as the host
("...@db" → name resolution failure).
db.py now prefers building the connection from POSTGRES_USER/PASSWORD/DB via
SQLAlchemy URL.create(), which encodes the password automatically — any
password works with no manual escaping. DATABASE_URL remains an optional
override (still must be hand-encoded if used). docker-compose now passes the
POSTGRES_* vars to the api container; DEPLOYMENT.md updated (incl. a Portainer
env-vars note).

- server/: FastAPI app with SQLAlchemy models for sops, work_packages, comments
- Endpoints for SOP/WP upsert+list+get+delete and comment create+list;
/api/feedback kept as an alias so the existing client keeps working
- Portable across engines (PostgreSQL prod, SQLite dev fallback)
- requirements.txt, .env.example, and server/README.md (Postgres + systemd)
- NGINX now proxies /api/ to the API (replaces the Power Automate hop;
comments persist to SQL)
- Rewrite DEPLOYMENT.md for the API + database architecture
- Add .gitignore for venv/.env/sqlite
Phase 2 (wire the client apps to the API) is next.
