Restructure the monorepo into clear top-level directories: - backend/: Go module root (cmd, internal, pkg, configs, migrations, docs/swagger, scripts, tests, go.mod, Makefile, .air.toml) - deploy/: Docker (Dockerfile, docker-compose*), quickstart, fluentd - docs/: project documentation + reports/ (moved from repo root) - AGENTS.md: new AI coding-agent guide at repo root Update all references to the new layout: - Dockerfile: COPY backend/go.mod, COPY backend/ (context = repo root) - docker-compose files: context ../.., dockerfile deploy/docker/Dockerfile, env_file ../../.env, volume mounts ../../backend:/app - deploy/quickstart/compose.yaml: dockerfile deploy/docker/Dockerfile - CI: working-directory: backend for go commands, file deploy/docker/Dockerfile, coverage path backend/coverage.out, health_check backend/scripts/ - backend/Makefile: docker target uses -f ../deploy/docker/Dockerfile ../ - README: architecture tree, quickstart, config paths updated Move root stray scripts (rename_models.*, run_m11_tests.sh, verify_build.sh, gorm_bool_main.go) to backend/scripts/legacy/. All moves via git mv to preserve history. Build, vet, SQLite tests, and docker compose config verified.

Repository Layout
This is a monorepo with a clear separation between backend code, deployment artifacts, and documentation:
backend/ # Go backend (the Go module lives here)
cmd/ # Entry points: gochat (server/seed), migrate, route_parity, ...
internal/ # App logic: handler, service, repository, model, config, ws, ...
pkg/ # Reusable packages: crypto, logger, pagination, response, ...
configs/ # Viper config files (config.yaml + config.{env}.yaml)
migrations/ # golang-migrate SQL files (sequential, .up.sql / .down.sql)
docs/ # swaggo-generated Swagger Go package (imported by the router)
scripts/ # migrate.sh, seed.sh, health_check.sh, route-parity tooling
tests/ # e2e tests + test helpers
deploy/ # Deployment artifacts
docker/ # Dockerfile, Dockerfile.dev, docker-compose.{yml,dev,prod,test}.yml
quickstart/ # One-shot local/UAT Compose stack (PG+pgvector+Redis+Meilisearch+Mailhog)
fluentd/ # Log shipping config
docs/ # Project documentation (architecture, requirements, plans, reports)
The Go module root is backend/ — run all go commands from there.
Build context for Docker is the repository root (.), not backend/.
Build & Test Commands
All Go commands run from backend/:
cd backend
# Build
go build ./... # compile everything
make build # build ./cmd/gochat → bin/gochat
# Run
go run cmd/gochat/main.go serve # API server (default subcommand)
go run cmd/gochat/main.go seed # seed demo data
# Test
go test ./... # all tests
GOCHAT_TEST_DB=sqlite go test ./internal/... ./pkg/... ./cmd/... # no PG needed
go test -v -race ./... # with race detector
go test -v ./tests/e2e/... # e2e
# Lint
golangci-lint run ./...
go vet ./...
Docker (build context = repo root, Dockerfile in deploy/docker/):
# Quickstart stack from repo root
cd deploy/quickstart && cp .env.example .env && docker compose up -d --build
# Build image manually from backend/
make docker
Go Version & Tooling
- Go: 1.24+ (go.mod declares 1.24.0; CI uses 1.25). Toolchain: go1.24.4.
- HTTP: Gin v1.10
- ORM: GORM v2
- DB: PostgreSQL 16 + pgvector (SQLite supported for tests via
GOCHAT_TEST_DB=sqlite) - Config: Viper (multi-env overlay:
config.yaml→config.{env}.yaml→.env) - Swagger: swaggo/swag — generated docs live in
backend/docs/(a Go package imported byinternal/router); do not move them out of the module.
Code Style & Conventions
- Tabs for Go/Makefile; 2-space for YAML/JSON/TOML (see
.editorconfig). - Match existing patterns in the surrounding code — do not reformat unrelated files.
- Layered architecture:
handler → service → repository → model. Respect layer boundaries; don't call repositories directly from handlers. - PG-only features (pgvector search, etc.) must guard with
skipIfSQLiteso SQLite test mode stays green. - New DB schema changes go through numbered SQL migrations in
backend/migrations/(NNNNN_name.{up,down}.sql).
Configuration
- Config files:
backend/configs/config.yaml(base) +config.dev.yaml/config.prod.yaml(env overlays). - Viper search paths:
./configs,./,/etc/gochat/. - Runtime config dir is resolved from the base config's location, so env overlays load from the same dir automatically.
- Secrets/
.envare gitignored — never commit them.
Deployment Notes
- The production
Dockerfile(indeploy/docker/) uses repo root as build context andCOPY backend/for sources. When adding files the image needs, place them underbackend/or update the COPY directives. docker-compose*.ymlfiles indeploy/docker/usecontext: ../..(repo root) anddockerfile: deploy/docker/Dockerfile.- CI (
.github/workflows/ci.yml) runs Go commands withworking-directory: backendand builds the Docker image withfile: ./deploy/docker/Dockerfile.
Things to Avoid
- Do not move
backend/docs/*.go— they are a compiled Go package imported by the router. - Do not add Go files to
backend/scripts/legacy/expecting them to be excluded —go build ./...compiles them; keep that directory for one-off scripts only. - Do not commit
.env,coverage.out,bin/, ortmp/. - Do not rewrite git history or force-push without explicit instruction.
