Legacy Website Archive (`src/Website-v1`)

This archive captures high-level notes about the previous Biergarten frontend so active project documentation can focus on the current website in src/Website.

Status

src/Website-v1 is retained for historical reference only
It is not the active frontend used by current setup, docs, or testing guidance
New product and engineering work should target src/Website

Legacy Stack Summary

The archived frontend used a different application model from the current website:

Next.js 14
React 18
Prisma
Postgres / Neon-hosted database workflows
Next.js API routes and server-side controllers
Additional third-party integrations such as Cloudinary, Mapbox, and SparkPost

Why It Was Archived

The active website moved to a React Router-based frontend that talks directly to the .NET API. As part of that shift, the main docs were updated to describe:

src/Website as the active frontend
React Router route modules and server rendering
Storybook-based component documentation and tests
Current frontend runtime variables: API_BASE_URL, SESSION_SECRET, and NODE_ENV

Legacy Documentation Topics Moved Out of Active Docs

The following categories were removed from active documentation and intentionally archived:

Next.js application structure guidance
Prisma and Postgres frontend setup
Legacy frontend environment variables
External service setup that only applied to src/Website-v1
Old frontend local setup instructions

When To Use This Archive

Use this file only if you need to:

inspect the historical frontend implementation
compare old flows against the current website
migrate or recover legacy logic from src/Website-v1
