After the repo split the code lives at the image root, so the Python package
data/ and the runtime data dir <root>/data are the same path (/app/data). The
deploy compose mounts the appdata volume there, shadowing data/*.py so
'import data.climate' fails at container boot. THERMOGRAPH_DATA_DIR (and
_LOGS_DIR) now let the container point runtime state at a path outside the code
tree; local dev is unchanged (defaults to <root>/data).
paths.py drops the sibling-directory walk (backend is now the repo
root, no more frontend/ sibling to walk toward). requirements.txt
drops jinja2/PyYAML (only needed for frontend_ssr's sake in the old
shared monorepo Dockerfile) and fixes stale backend/push.py-style
path comments. New Dockerfile (COPY . /app/, no THERMOGRAPH_SERVICE_ROLE
branch -- this image only ever runs backend) and entrypoint.sh (cd
/app instead of /app/backend). Minimal build.yml: docker build + boot
+ /healthz check.
Verified: image builds and boots standalone (real alembic migration
against SQLite, /healthz and /api/v2/place both 200), full pytest
suite green (301 passed, 4 skipped) against the rewritten paths.py.
The weather-terms glossary (9 entries) and four static pages' SEO title/
description were hardcoded directly in web/content.py - a 1019-line module
that also owns all SSR rendering logic - mixed in with code that changes on
a completely different cadence and for different reasons.
Add content/glossary.yaml and content/pages.yaml (a new repo-root content/
tree, a sibling of backend/ and frontend/ paths.py resolves the same way -
the seed of a future thermograph-copy repo per the architecture decision
doc's own §4) plus web/content_loader.py: a small loader that validates each
file's shape at load time (required fields present and non-empty, no
duplicate glossary slugs) and fails loudly on a malformed edit rather than
rendering a blank glossary card or an empty <title>. content.py's GLOSSARY
dict and the about/privacy/hub/glossary_index page_title/description
literals now come from the loader.
Scope: only content that is genuinely pure static data with no embedded
template logic. cities_flavor.json (Wikipedia extracts, already its own
generated file) and the homepage's title/description (embedded in
home.html.j2 as Jinja block overrides, a heavily-tested product-critical
template) are deliberately left as they are - a future pass, not required
for this one. UI microcopy bound to frontend logic stays in frontend/,
per the doc's own line between content and frontend.
Verified: content/glossary.yaml generated programmatically from the live
GLOSSARY dict (not hand-transcribed) and round-tripped byte-for-byte
identical against it; content/pages.yaml's four entries checked field-by-
field against the original hardcoded strings. Full backend suite green (362
passed, 4 skipped) with zero existing test changes needed beyond one
assertion made escaping-aware (a pre-existing Jinja double-escape quirk on
the one title containing "&", intentionally preserved not fixed). Built
and booted the real Docker image: content/ present at /app/content, and
curled /glossary, /glossary/percentine, /about, /privacy from inside the
running container - all four render with the exact expected title text.
* Centralize filesystem paths in a single module
Add paths.py, which resolves the repo root once and derives the cache,
accounts DB, logs, templates, frontend and bundled-city-data locations
from it. Replace the 13 per-module `dirname(__file__)/..` anchors with
references to it, so a module's location no longer determines where the
app reads its data. Env overrides (accounts DB, VAPID, IndexNow) are
unchanged; every resolved path is byte-identical to before.
Groundwork for moving modules into packages without re-pointing paths.

* Split the backend into domain packages
Group the flat backend modules into packages that mirror their concerns:
data/ climate, grading, scoring, grid, places, cities,
city_events, store
web/ app, views, homepage, content, schemas
notifications/ notify, digest, push, mailer, discord,
discord_interactions, discord_link
accounts/ models, users, api_accounts, db
core/ metrics, singleton, audit
Intra-project imports are rewritten to the package-qualified form. The
entry scripts (indexnow, warm_cities, migrate, gen_cities, gen_flavor)
and paths.py stay at the backend/ root, and backend/app.py becomes a
shim re-exporting web.app:app so the launch target stays `app:app` —
run.sh, the systemd units, and CI need no change.
Verified: full suite (318) passes, `uvicorn app:app` boots and serves
the home/SEO/static/API surfaces, and every root script imports clean.
