Francisco Ignácio Fontoura Solla 4f0f997c32 Isolate local/dev and tests from the production database
Local dev and the test suite previously defaulted to the live production
Neon database, and running the tests mutated prod data. Add guardrails plus
a proper local Postgres + migrations workflow so production can't be hit by
mistake:

- docker-compose: local Postgres 17 (matches prod) + auto-created teqo_test
- dev guard refuses a non-local DATABASE_URL; tests refuse non-_test databases
- .env.test isolates the suite; vitest/playwright load it and fail closed
- Payload migrations set up (push disabled); build runs `payload migrate`,
  so deploys apply pending migrations to prod automatically
- baseline `initial` migration + idempotent consent.text varchar->jsonb fix
- `pnpm db:pull` copies prod content locally, excluding supporter PII
- docs (README, AGENTS.md) + agent skills for the local-db/migration workflow

# Teqo
Teqo starts as the official digital platform for **deputado Jorge Solla** and evolves into a **white-label civic engagement platform** for politicians in Brazil.
The goal is to help political teams build direct, durable relationships with their base without depending on Big Tech social platforms as the primary channel.
## Mission
- Strengthen direct communication between representatives and citizens.
- Reduce platform dependency risk by owning audience and data channels.
- Provide reusable building blocks so each political team can launch quickly.
## Product Direction
### Phase 1: Jorge Solla Website
Initial delivery focuses on Jorge Solla's public website and communication workflows:
- Public-facing content and updates
- Institutional pages and biography
- Media and campaign communication assets
- Editorial operations through Payload CMS
### Phase 2: White-Label Platform
Teqo then becomes a configurable base product for other politicians in Brazil:
- Multi-tenant and reusable architecture
- Brand and content customization per mandate/campaign
- Shared core modules for communication and engagement
- Operational autonomy with self-hosted owned channels
## Local Development
> **Production safety:** the production database is a live Neon Postgres holding real citizens' data. Local development and tests run against a **local** Postgres and must never point at production. `pnpm dev` refuses to start against a non-local database, and the test suite refuses any database whose name doesn't end in `_test`.
### First-time setup
1. Install dependencies: `pnpm install`
2. Create your env file: `cp .env.example .env.local`
3. Start Docker, then start the local database: `pnpm db:start`
- This runs Postgres 17 (matching production) and auto-creates a `teqo_test` database for the test suite.
4. Make sure `DATABASE_URL` in `.env.local` points at local:
```
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://teqo:teqo@localhost:5432/teqo
```
5. Load a schema + content into the local database — pick one:
- **Mirror production content (recommended):** `PROD_DATABASE_URL="<unpooled Neon URL>" pnpm db:pull`
Copies production's schema and content into local. It only reads production and **excludes supporter PII** (`contact`/`signature`/`subscription` data).
- **Empty schema from migrations:** `pnpm migrate`
6. Start the dev server: `pnpm dev`
7. Open: `http://localhost:3000`
Useful scripts: `pnpm db:start` / `pnpm db:stop` (local Postgres), `pnpm db:pull` (refresh local content from prod).
### Database migrations
Schema is managed by committed Payload migrations (`src/migrations/`); `push` is disabled everywhere.
To change the schema:
1. Edit the collection/global/field config.
2. Generate a migration: `pnpm migrate:create <name>`
3. Review and commit the generated files in `src/migrations/` (both `.ts` and `.json`, plus `index.ts`).
4. Apply it locally: `pnpm migrate` (check status anytime with `pnpm migrate:status`).
**Deploying to production:** `pnpm build` runs `payload migrate` before building, so every Vercel deploy automatically applies pending migrations to the production database. Do not run migrations against production by hand.
### Running tests
Tests use the isolated `teqo_test` database (config in `.env.test`). Prepare its schema once with:
```
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://teqo:teqo@localhost:5432/teqo_test pnpm migrate
```
Then run `pnpm test` (or `pnpm test:int` / `pnpm test:e2e`).
## Tech Stack
- Payload CMS
- Next.js
- PostgreSQL (via `@payloadcms/db-postgres`)
- TypeScript
## Roadmap Notes
- Prioritize audience ownership and portability of data.
- Keep modules generic enough for reuse across different political contexts.
- Default to secure, access-controlled features for campaign and institutional teams.
