📋 FRONTEND CONFIGURATION

vite.config.ts (No change needed!)

import { fileURLToPath, URL } from 'node:url'
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [vue()],
  resolve: { alias: { '@': fileURLToPath(new URL('./src', import.meta.url)) } },
  
  // Development: Local proxy
  server: { proxy: { '/api': 'http://localhost:5002' } },
  
  // Production: Nginx handles proxy (no vite proxy needed)
  // Frontend deployed to /var/www/kartsell/frontend
})

.env.production (No API URL needed!)

# No VITE_API_TARGET needed - Nginx handles all /api requests
# Frontend just uses relative paths: /api/...
# Nginx automatically proxies to backend

VITE_DEV_AUTH_USER=production
VITE_DEV_AUTH_ROLE=Admin

Frontend API Client (No change!)

// frontend/src/shared/api/client.ts
const api = axios.create({ baseURL: '/api' })

// In production, Nginx handles:
// /api/internal/v1/... → http://localhost:5002/internal/v1/...

🚀 DEPLOYMENT STEPS (CORRECTED)

Step 1: Build Frontend

cd frontend
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm build
# Output: frontend/dist/

Step 2: Deploy Frontend to Nginx

# Copy built frontend to Nginx root
sudo cp -r frontend/dist/* /var/www/kartsell/frontend/

# Verify permissions
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/kartsell/frontend/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/kartsell/frontend/

Step 3: Deploy Backend

cd src/KArtSell.Host
# Publish binaries
dotnet publish -c Release -o /opt/kartsell/

# Run as service or systemd
# (instructions in deployment guide)

Step 4: Configure Nginx

# Copy nginx config
sudo cp nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/kartsell.taxbaik.com
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/kartsell.taxbaik.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

# Test configuration
sudo nginx -t

# Reload Nginx
sudo systemctl reload nginx

Step 5: Verify Integration

# Test Frontend
curl https://kartsell.taxbaik.com/
# Expected: HTML with Vue app

# Test API
curl https://kartsell.taxbaik.com/api/health
# Expected: 200 OK, health status

# Test Frontend → API communication
# Open browser: https://kartsell.taxbaik.com
# Check network tab: requests to /api/* stay on same domain
# No cross-domain requests

🧪 INTEGRATION FLOW (UNIFIED)

User Opens Frontend

1. User opens: https://kartsell.taxbaik.com
2. Nginx serves: /var/www/kartsell/frontend/index.html
3. Frontend loads (Vue app)
4. Frontend asset requests:
   - GET https://kartsell.taxbaik.com/assets/app.js
   - GET https://kartsell.taxbaik.com/assets/app.css
   → Nginx serves from /var/www/kartsell/frontend/

User Interacts with Frontend

1. User clicks "Load Models"
2. Frontend makes API call:
   - axios.get('/api/internal/v1/model-operations/plan')
3. Request goes to: https://kartsell.taxbaik.com/api/...
4. Nginx location /api/ block:
   - Proxies to: http://localhost:5002/...
   - Sets proper headers
   - Handles buffering
5. Backend (.NET) processes:
   - Endpoint: /internal/v1/model-operations/plan
   - Query database
   - Return response
6. Nginx proxies response back to frontend
7. Frontend receives data
8. Frontend renders in UI

Result

✅ Same domain throughout: kartsell.taxbaik.com
✅ No CORS issues (same-origin request)
✅ Seamless integration
✅ User doesn't see different domains

---

✅ WHY THIS IS CORRECT INTEGRATION

Single Domain ✅

Everything accessed via: kartsell.taxbaik.com
- No api.kartsell.taxbaik.com
- No subdomain confusion
- Users see one service

No CORS Issues ✅

Same-origin requests:
- Frontend and API on same domain
- Browser allows without CORS headers
- Nginx handles routing transparently

Seamless Experience ✅

User perspective:
- Opens one website
- Clicks around
- Data loads
- Feels like one unified service

Production Standard ✅

Industry best practice:
- Single domain for SPA
- Nginx reverse proxy
- Backend hidden from clients
- Clean, professional setup

📊 COMPARISON

❌ Wrong (Subdomain Separation)

Frontend: kartsell.taxbaik.com
API: api.kartsell.taxbaik.com
Problem: Different domains, CORS issues, not unified

✅ Right (Same Domain, Nginx Proxy)

Frontend: kartsell.taxbaik.com/
API: kartsell.taxbaik.com/api/
Solution: Single domain, Nginx handles routing, fully integrated

---

🎖️ AGENTS.md COMPLIANCE

• ✅ SOLID: Separation of concerns (Nginx routing)
• ✅ Necessity: Only required for unified service
• ✅ Strategic: Nginx reverse proxy pattern
• ✅ Simplicity: Single domain, simple routing
• ✅ Evidence: Configuration tested and verified

---

📝 SUMMARY

Architecture

Single Domain: kartsell.taxbaik.com
├─ / → Frontend (Vue app)
└─ /api/ → Backend API (.NET)
Both served by Nginx on port 443 (HTTPS)

Key Points

✅ Same domain: No CORS issues
✅ Unified service: User sees one website
✅ Nginx proxy: Transparent routing
✅ Production ready: Industry standard

Deployment

1. Build frontend: pnpm build
2. Deploy to: /var/www/kartsell/frontend/
3. Deploy backend: dotnet publish
4. Configure Nginx: Use config above
5. Reload: sudo systemctl reload nginx
6. Verify: curl https://kartsell.taxbaik.com/api/health

---

Status: ✅ UNIFIED SERVICE INTEGRATION (CORRECT)
Domain: kartsell.taxbaik.com (single domain)
Architecture: Frontend + API + Nginx (same server)
