## ❓ Blocking Questions (Please Clarify)

### 1. Frontend Stack Confirmation
- **Current:** Vanilla JavaScript (zero dependencies)
- **Question:** Keep as-is or migrate to React/Vue/Svelte?
- **Recommendation:** Keep vanilla for Phase 2, consider framework in Phase 3

### 2. Deployment Targets
- **Backend:** Railway (confirmed)
- **Frontend:** Served by backend at `/` (confirmed)
- **Prism:** Standalone or backend route?
  - **Option A:** Serve from backend at `/prism` (recommended)
  - **Option B:** Deploy separately on Vercel/Netlify
- **Docs:** GitHub Pages or separate hosting?
  - **Recommendation:** GitHub Pages with `mkdocs gh-deploy`

### 3. Environment Variable Naming
- **Current:** Using `APP_NAME`, `APP_VERSION`, `ENVIRONMENT`
- **Question:** Any preferred naming convention?
- **Recommendation:** Current naming is clear and consistent

### 4. Separate Repos vs Monorepo
- **Current:** Monorepo (all modules in one repo)
- **Question:** Extract modules to separate repos now or later?
- **Recommendation:** Keep monorepo for Phase 2, extract in Phase 3 if needed

## 🎓 What You Should Know

### The System Now Has 3 Layers of State

1. **Frontend State** (JavaScript)
   - Managed by `CoreOSClient`
   - Cached in browser
   - Synced via API calls

2. **Backend State** (FastAPI)
   - Exposed via `/api/system/os/state`
   - Currently returns stub data
   - Ready to integrate with Core OS

3. **Core OS State** (Python)
   - Managed by `core_os` module
   - In-memory for now
   - Future: Redis/PostgreSQL persistence

### Request Flow Example

```
User clicks desktop icon in Pocket OS
    ↓
JavaScript: window.coreOS.openWindow("notepad")
    ↓
HTTP: POST /api/system/windows (future endpoint)
    ↓
Backend: routes to core_os.open_window()
    ↓
Core OS: updates OSState, adds Window object
    ↓
Backend: returns updated state as JSON
    ↓
JavaScript: renders new window in UI
```

### Job Execution Flow

```
Prism Console: User clicks "Execute Job"
    ↓
HTTP: POST /api/operator/jobs/{job_id}/execute (future)
    ↓
Backend: routes to operator_engine.execute_job()
    ↓
Operator: runs job, updates status
    ↓
Backend: returns job result
    ↓
Prism: displays job status
```
