+
+### Key Components
+
+#### Frontend (`/src`)
+- **App.jsx** - Main application with session protection
+- **ChatInterface.jsx** - Real-time chat with Claude
+- **components/** - Reusable UI components
+- **utils/api.js** - API client utilities
+
+#### Backend (`/server`)
+- **index.js** - Express server with WebSocket setup
+- **routes/** - API endpoints (auth, git, files)
+- **middleware/** - Authentication & validation
+- **database/** - SQLite schema & operations
+
+#### Authentication System
+- **Single-user system** - Only one account allowed
+- **JWT tokens** - Stateless authentication
+- **Setup mode** - Automatic when no users exist
+- **Session protection** - Prevents interruptions during active chats
+
+## 🔧 Configuration & Setup
+
+### Environment Variables
+```bash
+# Server configuration
+PORT=2008
+VITE_PORT=2009
+
+# Database
+DB_PATH=server/database/auth.db
+
+# Optional: Claude API configuration
+ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_key_here
+```
+
+### Initial Setup
+1. **Clone and install dependencies:**
+   ```bash
+   npm install
+   ```
+
+2. **First run (setup mode):**
+   ```bash
+   npm run dev
+   # Navigate to http://localhost:2009
+   # Create your admin account
+   ```
+
+3. **Database reset (if needed):**
+   ```bash
+   rm server/database/auth.db
+   npm run dev  # Triggers setup mode
+   ```
+
+## 🎯 Core Features
+
+### Project Management
+- **Multi-project support** - Switch between different codebases
+- **Git integration** - Status, branches, and file tracking
+- **Session isolation** - Each project maintains separate chat history
+- **File browser** - Navigate and edit project files
+
+### Chat Interface
+- **Real-time messaging** - Instant responses via WebSockets  
+- **Tool integration** - Claude can execute code operations
+- **Session protection** - Prevents UI updates during active conversations
+- **Message history** - Persistent chat logs per project
+- **Status indicators** - Shows Claude's working state
+
+### Security Features
+- **Tool permissions** - Disabled by default for security
+- **Project sandboxing** - Isolated file system access
+- **Authentication required** - No anonymous access
+- **Session validation** - JWT token verification
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### Port Conflicts
+```bash
+# Kill existing processes
+pkill -f "node server/index.js"
+pkill -f "npm run dev"
+
+# Start fresh
+npm run dev
+```
+
+#### Database Issues
+```bash
+# Reset database (triggers setup mode)
+rm server/database/auth.db
+npm run dev
+```
+
+#### Git Path Errors
+- **Symptom:** Console logs showing "Project path not found"
+- **Cause:** Projects reference non-existent directories
+- **Fix:** Update project paths or remove orphaned projects
+
+#### React Errors in ChatInterface
+- **Symptom:** JavaScript errors when loading chat sessions
+- **Cause:** Missing project directories or invalid status messages
+- **Fix:** Implement better error boundaries and path validation
+
+### Performance Optimization
+```bash
+# Clear node modules and reinstall
+rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
+npm install
+
+# Rebuild frontend
+npm run build
+```

+
+## 🔄 Development Workflow
+
+### Adding New Features
+1. **Backend API:** Add routes in `/server/routes/`
+2. **Frontend UI:** Create components in `/src/components/`
+3. **WebSocket events:** Update both client and server handlers
+4. **Database changes:** Modify schema in `/server/database/`
+
+### Git Integration Points
+- **Project loading:** `server/routes/git.js:62`
+- **Status polling:** Continuous Git status checks
+- **Branch management:** `server/routes/git.js:198`
+- **Error handling:** `validateGitRepository()` function
+
+### Session Protection System
+- **Activation:** When user sends chat message
+- **WebSocket events:** `session-created`, `claude-complete`, `session-aborted`  
+- **Purpose:** Prevents sidebar updates during active conversations
+- **Implementation:** `App.jsx` + `ChatInterface.jsx` coordination
+
+## 🚨 Known Issues & Fixes
+
+### Issue: Continuous Git Errors
+**Problem:** Logs show repeated "Project path not found" errors
+**Solution:**
+```javascript
+// Add to git.js validation
+const validateProjectPath = (path) => {
+  if (!fs.existsSync(path)) {
+    console.warn(`Project path does not exist: ${path}`);
+    return false;
+  }
+  return true;
+};
+```
+
+### Issue: React Error in ChatInterface Line 1515
+**Problem:** Error when loading existing chat sessions
+**Location:** `src/components/ChatInterface.jsx:1515`
+**Solution:** Add error boundary around claude-status message handling
+
+### Issue: WebSocket Connection Drops
+**Problem:** Chat becomes unresponsive
+**Solution:** Implement automatic reconnection logic
+
+## 📚 Integration with Claude Code CLI
+
+This UI acts as a web interface for the Claude Code CLI:
+
+### Tool Integration
+- **File operations** - Read, write, edit files
+- **Git commands** - Status, diff, commit, push
+- **Terminal access** - Execute shell commands
+- **Project navigation** - Browse directory structure
+
+### API Endpoints
+- `POST /api/chat/send` - Send message to Claude
+- `GET /api/projects` - List available projects  
+- `GET /api/git/status` - Get Git repository status
+- `POST /api/files/read` - Read file contents
+- `POST /api/files/write` - Write file contents
+
+### WebSocket Events
+- `message` - Chat messages
+- `claude-status` - Working status updates
+- `session-created` - New chat session
+- `session-complete` - Chat finished
+- `session-aborted` - Chat interrupted
+
+## 🔐 Security Considerations
+
+### Authentication
+- **Single-user system** - Only one account supported
+- **JWT expiration** - Tokens have limited lifetime  
+- **Password hashing** - bcrypt with salt rounds 12
+- **Setup protection** - Registration only when no users exist
+
+### File System Access
+- **Project sandboxing** - Limited to configured directories
+- **Path validation** - Prevent directory traversal attacks
+- **Tool permissions** - Disabled by default
+- **Git operations** - Validated repository paths
+
+### Network Security
+- **CORS configuration** - Restricted origins
+- **WebSocket authentication** - JWT token required
+- **Input validation** - Sanitized user inputs
+- **Error messages** - No sensitive information leakage
+
+---
+
+## 📞 Support & Maintenance
+
+### Health Checks
+- **Database connection** - SQLite file integrity
+- **WebSocket status** - Active connections count
+- **Git operations** - Repository accessibility
+- **File system** - Project directory permissions
+
+### Monitoring
+- **Server logs** - Console output for debugging
+- **Error tracking** - Catch and log exceptions
+- **Performance** - WebSocket message timing
+- **Resource usage** - Memory and CPU monitoring
+
+### Updates
+- **Dependencies** - Regular npm audit and updates
+- **Security patches** - Keep Express and React current
+- **Claude CLI** - Ensure compatibility with latest version
+- **Database migrations** - Handle schema changes
