# {Project Name} Testing Strategy
## Overall Philosophy & Goals
{Describe the high-level approach. e.g., "Follow the Testing Pyramid/Trophy principle.", "Automate extensively.", "Focus on testing business logic and key integrations.", "Ensure tests run efficiently in CI/CD."}
- Goal 1: {e.g., Achieve X% code coverage for critical modules.}
- Goal 2: {e.g., Prevent regressions in core functionality.}
- Goal 3: {e.g., Enable confident refactoring.}
## Testing Levels
### Unit Tests
- **Scope:** Test individual functions, methods, or components in isolation. Focus on business logic, calculations, and conditional paths within a single module.
- **Tools:** {e.g., Jest, Pytest, Go testing package, JUnit, NUnit}
- **Mocking/Stubbing:** {How are dependencies mocked? e.g., Jest mocks, Mockito, Go interfaces}
- **Location:** {e.g., `test/unit/`, alongside source files (`*.test.ts`)}
- **Expectations:** {e.g., Should cover all significant logic paths. Fast execution.}
### Integration Tests
- **Scope:** Verify the interaction and collaboration between multiple internal components or modules. Test the flow of data and control within a specific feature or workflow slice. May involve mocking external APIs or databases, or using test containers.
- **Tools:** {e.g., Jest, Pytest, Go testing package, Testcontainers, Supertest (for APIs)}
- **Location:** {e.g., `test/integration/`}
- **Expectations:** {e.g., Focus on module boundaries and contracts. Slower than unit tests.}
### End-to-End (E2E) / Acceptance Tests
- **Scope:** Test the entire system flow from an end-user perspective. Interact with the application through its external interfaces (UI or API). Validate complete user journeys or business processes against real or near-real dependencies.
- **Tools:** {e.g., Playwright, Cypress, Selenium (for UI); Postman/Newman, K6 (for API)}
- **Environment:** {Run against deployed environments (e.g., Staging) or a locally composed setup (Docker Compose).}
- **Location:** {e.g., `test/e2e/`}
- **Expectations:** {Cover critical user paths. Slower, potentially flaky, run less frequently (e.g., pre-release, nightly).}
### Manual / Exploratory Testing (Optional)
- **Scope:** {Where is manual testing still required? e.g., Exploratory testing for usability, testing complex edge cases.}
- **Process:** {How is it performed and tracked?}
## Specialized Testing Types (Add sections as needed)
### Performance Testing
- **Scope & Goals:** {What needs performance testing? What are the targets (latency, throughput)?}
- **Tools:** {e.g., K6, JMeter, Locust}
### Security Testing
- **Scope & Goals:** {e.g., Dependency scanning, SAST, DAST, penetration testing requirements.}
- **Tools:** {e.g., Snyk, OWASP ZAP, Dependabot}
### Accessibility Testing (UI)
- **Scope & Goals:** {Target WCAG level, key areas.}
- **Tools:** {e.g., Axe, Lighthouse, manual checks}
### Visual Regression Testing (UI)
- **Scope & Goals:** {Prevent unintended visual changes.}
- **Tools:** {e.g., Percy, Applitools Eyes, Playwright visual comparisons}
## Test Data Management
{How is test data generated, managed, and reset for different testing levels?}
## CI/CD Integration
{How and when are tests executed in the CI/CD pipeline? What constitutes a pipeline failure?}

## Purpose
- Transform inputs into core product definition documents conforming to the `prd.txt` template
- Define clear MVP scope focused on essential functionality
- Provide foundation for Architect and eventually AI dev agents
## Phase Persona
- Role: Professional Expert Product Manager
- Style: Collaborative and structured approach, Inquisitive to clarify requirements, Value-driven, focusing on user needs. Professional and detail-oriented. Additionally though-out the process of PRD generation:
- Challenge assumptions about what's needed for MVP

- Focus on user value and core functionality
- Separate "what" (functional requirements) from "how" (implementation)
- Structure requirements using standard templates
- Remember your output will be used by Architect and ultimately translated for AI dev agents
- Be precise enough for technical planning while staying functionally focused - keep document output succinct
Remember as you follow the upcoming instructions:
- Your documents form the foundation for the entire development process
- Output will be directly used by the Architect to create an architecture document and solution designs
- Requirements must be clear enough for Architect to make definitive technical decisions
- Your epics/stories will ultimately be transformed into development tasks
- Final implementation will be done by AI developer agents with limited context that need clear, explicit, unambiguous instructions
- While you focus on the "what" not "how", be precise enough to support this chain
## Instructions
1. Review the inputs provided so far, such as a project brief, any research, and user input and ideas.
2. Inform the user we will work through the PRD 1 section at a time - the template contains your instructions for each section.
Note: For the Epic and Story Section, Prepare in memory what you think the initial epic and story list so we can work through this incrementally, use all of the information you have learned that has been provided thus far to follow the guidelines in the section below `Epic_Story_Principles`.
2A. You will first present the user with the epic titles and descriptions, so that the user can determine if it is correct and what is expected, or if there is a major epic missing.
2B. Once the Epic List is approved, THEN you will work with the user 1 Epic at a time to review each story in the epic.
2C. Present the user with the complete full draft once all sections are completed
5. Checklist Assessment
- Use the `pm-checklist.txt` to consider each item in the checklist is met (or n/a) against the PRD
- Document completion status for each item
- Present the user with summary of each section of the checklist before going to the next section.
- Address deficiencies with user for input or suggested updates or corrections
- Once complete and address, output the final checklist with all the checked items or skipped items, the section summary table, and any final notes. The checklist should have any findings that were discuss and resolved or ignored also. This will be a nice artifact for the user to keep.
6. Produce the PRD with PM Prompt per the prd.txt utilizing the following guidance:
- DO NOT Truncate information that has not changed from previous version
- DO NOT wrap the entire document in additional outer markdown code blocks
- DO properly format individual elements within the document:
- Mermaid diagrams should be in ```mermaid blocks
- Code snippets should be in appropriate language blocks (e.g., ```json)
- Tables should use proper markdown table syntax
- For inline document sections, present the content with proper internal formatting
- For complete documents, just start with the document no intro needed
- Individual elements must be properly formatted for correct rendering
- This approach is critical to prevent nested markdown issues while maintaining proper formatting
</PRD_Generation_MODE>

</Product_Advisor_MODE>
<Epic_Story_Principles>
# Guiding Principles for Epic and User Story Generation:
Define Core Value & MVP Scope Rigorously:
- Start by deeply understanding and clarifying the core problem, essential user needs, and key business objectives for the Minimum Viable Product (MVP).
- Actively challenge scope at every stage, constantly asking, "Does this feature directly support the core MVP goals?" Non-essential functionalities will be clearly identified and deferred to Post-MVP.
Structure Work into Deployable, Value-Driven Epics:
- Organize the MVP scope into Epics. Each Epic will be designed to deliver a significant, end-to-end, and fully deployable increment of testable functionality that provides tangible value to the user or business.
Epics will be structured around logical functional blocks or coherent user journeys.
- The sequence of Epics will follow a logical implementation order, ensuring dependencies are managed.
The first Epic will always establish the foundational project infrastructure (e.g., initial Next.js app setup, Git repository, CI/CD to Vercel, core cloud service configurations) necessary to support its specific deployable functionality.
- Craft Vertically Sliced, Manageable User Stories:
- Within each Epic, Define User Stories as "vertical slices." This means each story will deliver a complete piece of functionality, cutting through all necessary layers (e.g., UI, API, business logic, database) to achieve a specific goal.
- Stories will primarily focus on the "what" (the functional outcome and user value) and "why," not the "how" (technical implementation details). The "As a {type of user/system}, I want {goal}, so that {benefit}" format will be standard.
- Ensure User Stories are appropriately sized for a typical development iteration. If a vertically sliced story is too large or complex, I will work to split it into smaller, still valuable, and still vertically sliced increments.
- Ensure Clear, Comprehensive, and Testable Acceptance Criteria (ACs):
- Every User Story will have detailed, unambiguous, and testable Acceptance Criteria.
- These ACs will precisely define what "done" means for that story from a functional perspective and serve as the basis for verification.
- Integrate Developer Enablement & Iterative Design into Stories:
Local Testability (CLI): For User Stories involving backend processing or data pipeline components, the ability for developers to test that specific functionality locally (e.g., via CLI commands using local instances of services like Supabase or Ollama) will be an integral part of the story's definition and its Acceptance Criteria.
Iterative Schema Definition: Database schema changes (new tables, columns, etc.) will be introduced iteratively within the User Stories that functionally require them, rather than defining the entire schema upfront.
Upfront UI/UX Standards: For User Stories that include a user interface component, specific requirements regarding the look and feel, responsiveness, and the use of chosen frameworks/libraries (e.g., Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui) will be explicitly stated in the Acceptance Criteria from the start.
Maintain Clarity for Handoff and Architectural Freedom:
- The User Stories, their descriptions, and Acceptance Criteria will be detailed enough to provide the Architect with a clear and comprehensive understanding of "what is required."

# Instructions
## Gemini Gem 2.5
- https://gemini.google.com/gems/view
- Client + New Gem
- Name: I recommend starting with a number or a unique letter as this will be easiest way to identify the gem. For Example 1-Analyst, 2-PM etc...
- Instructions: Paste full content from the specific gem.md file
- Knowledge: Add the specific Text files for the specific agent as listed below - along with other potential instructions you might want to give it. For example - if you know your architect will always follow or should follow a specific stack, you could give it another document for suggested architecture or tech stack to always use, or your patter preferences, and not have to specify every time. But you can also just go with keeping it more generic and use the files from this repo.
### Analyst (BA/RA)
- Instructions: 1-analyst-gem.md pasted into instructions
- Knowledge: templates/project-brief.txt
- During Chat - Mode 1 - 2.5 Pro Deep Research recommended. Mode 2 2.5 Pro Thinking Mode + optional mode 1 deep research attached.
### Product Manager (PM)
- Instructions: 2-pm-gem.md pasted into instructions
- Knowledge: templates/prd.txt, templates/epicN.txt, templates/ui-ux-spec.txt, templates/pm-checklist.txt
- During Chat - Mode 1 - 2.5 Pro Deep Research recommended. Mode 2 2.5 Pro Thinking Mode. Start by also attaching the product brief.
### Architect
- Instructions: 3-architect-gem.md pasted into instructions
- Knowledge: templates/architecture-templates.txt, templates/architect-checklist.txt
- During Chat - Mode 1 - 2.5 Pro Deep Research recommended. Mode 2 2.5 Pro Thinking Mode. Start by also attaching the product brief, PRD, and any generated Epic files. If architecture deep research was done as mode 1, attach it to the new chat. Also if there was deep research from the PRD that is not fully distilled in the PRD (deep technical details or solutions), provide to the architect.
### PO + SM
- Instructions: 4-po-sm-gem.md pasted into instructions
- Knowledge: templates/story-template.txt, templates/po-checklist.txt
- This is optional as a Gem - unlike the workflow within the IDE, using this will generate all remaining stories as one output, instead generating each story when its ready to be worked on through completion. There is ONE main use case for this beyond the obvious generating the artifacts to work on one at a time.
- The output of this can easily be passed to a new chat with this PO + SM gem or custom GPT and asked to deeply think or analyze through all of the extensive details to spot potential issues gaps, or inconsistences. I have not done this as I prefer to just generate and build 1 story at a time - so the utility of this I have not fully exhausted - but its an interesting idea.
- During chat: Recommend starting chat by providing all possible artifacts output from previous stages - if a file limit is hit, you can attach as a folder in thinking mode for 2.5 pro - or combine documents. The SM needs latest versions of `prd.md`, `architecture.md`, the _technically enriched_ `epicN.md...` files, and relevant reference documents the architecture references, provided after initial PM/Architect collaboration and refinement.
- The IDE version (agents folder) of the SM works on producing 1 story at a time for the dev to work on. This version is a bit different in that it will produce a single document with all remaining stories fully fleshed out at once, which then can be worked on still one on one in the IDE.

```sql
-- Example SQL
CREATE TABLE {TableName} (
id VARCHAR(36) PRIMARY KEY,
column_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
numeric_column DECIMAL(10, 2),
-- ... other columns, indexes, constraints
);
```
_(Alternatively, use ORM model definitions, NoSQL document structure, etc.)_
### {Another Table / Collection Name}
{...}
## State File Schemas (If applicable)
{If the application uses files for persisting state.}
### {State File Name / Purpose, e.g., processed_items.json}
- **Purpose:** {What state does this file track?}
- **Format:** {e.g., JSON}
- **Schema Definition:**
```json
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"processedIds": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "string"
},
"description": "List of IDs that have been processed."
}
// ... other state properties
},
"required": ["processedIds"]
}

## Testing Strategy Template
```Markdown
# {Project Name} Testing Strategy
## Overall Philosophy & Goals
{Describe the high-level approach. e.g., "Follow the Testing Pyramid/Trophy principle.", "Automate extensively.", "Focus on testing business logic and key integrations.", "Ensure tests run efficiently in CI/CD."}
- Goal 1: {e.g., Achieve X% code coverage for critical modules.}
- Goal 2: {e.g., Prevent regressions in core functionality.}
- Goal 3: {e.g., Enable confident refactoring.}
## Testing Levels
### Unit Tests
- **Scope:** Test individual functions, methods, or components in isolation. Focus on business logic, calculations, and conditional paths within a single module.
- **Tools:** {e.g., Jest, Pytest, Go testing package, JUnit, NUnit}
- **Mocking/Stubbing:** {How are dependencies mocked? e.g., Jest mocks, Mockito, Go interfaces}
- **Location:** {e.g., `test/unit/`, alongside source files (`*.test.ts`)}
- **Expectations:** {e.g., Should cover all significant logic paths. Fast execution.}
### Integration Tests
- **Scope:** Verify the interaction and collaboration between multiple internal components or modules. Test the flow of data and control within a specific feature or workflow slice. May involve mocking external APIs or databases, or using test containers.
- **Tools:** {e.g., Jest, Pytest, Go testing package, Testcontainers, Supertest (for APIs)}
- **Location:** {e.g., `test/integration/`}
- **Expectations:** {e.g., Focus on module boundaries and contracts. Slower than unit tests.}
### End-to-End (E2E) / Acceptance Tests
- **Scope:** Test the entire system flow from an end-user perspective. Interact with the application through its external interfaces (UI or API). Validate complete user journeys or business processes against real or near-real dependencies.
- **Tools:** {e.g., Playwright, Cypress, Selenium (for UI); Postman/Newman, K6 (for API)}
- **Environment:** {Run against deployed environments (e.g., Staging) or a locally composed setup (Docker Compose).}
- **Location:** {e.g., `test/e2e/`}
- **Expectations:** {Cover critical user paths. Slower, potentially flaky, run less frequently (e.g., pre-release, nightly).}
### Manual / Exploratory Testing (Optional)
- **Scope:** {Where is manual testing still required? e.g., Exploratory testing for usability, testing complex edge cases.}
- **Process:** {How is it performed and tracked?}
## Specialized Testing Types (Add sections as needed)
### Performance Testing
- **Scope & Goals:** {What needs performance testing? What are the targets (latency, throughput)?}
- **Tools:** {e.g., K6, JMeter, Locust}
### Security Testing
- **Scope & Goals:** {e.g., Dependency scanning, SAST, DAST, penetration testing requirements.}
- **Tools:** {e.g., Snyk, OWASP ZAP, Dependabot}
### Accessibility Testing (UI)
- **Scope & Goals:** {Target WCAG level, key areas.}
- **Tools:** {e.g., Axe, Lighthouse, manual checks}
### Visual Regression Testing (UI)
- **Scope & Goals:** {Prevent unintended visual changes.}
- **Tools:** {e.g., Percy, Applitools Eyes, Playwright visual comparisons}
## Test Data Management
{How is test data generated, managed, and reset for different testing levels?}
## CI/CD Integration
{How and when are tests executed in the CI/CD pipeline? What constitutes a pipeline failure?}

# {Project Name} Product Requirements Document (PRD)
## Goal, Objective and Context
Keep this brief and to the point in the final output - this should come mostly from the user or the provided brief, but ask for clarifications as needed.
## Functional Requirements (MVP)
You should have a good idea at this point, but clarify suggest question and explain to ensure these are correct.
## Non Functional Requirements (MVP)
## User Interaction and Design Goals
If there is a UX/UI Component, we want to work with the user to elicit enough information to detail the UI look and feel, screens, interaction, functionality so that we can produce the UI as needed.
## Technical Assumptions
This is where we can list information mostly to be used by the architect to produce the technical details. This could be anything we already know or found out from the user at a technical high level. Inquire about this from the user to get a basic idea of languages, frameworks, knowledge of starter templates, libraries, external apis, potential library choices etc...
### Testing requirements
How will we validate functionality beyond unit testing? Will we want manual scripts or testing, e2e, integration etc... figure this out from the user to populate this section

# Project Brief: BMad News DiCaster
## Introduction / Problem Statement
- **Core Idea:** BMad News DiCaster is a Next.js, Supabase, Vercel-hosted web app that generates daily podcasts/newsletters summarizing the top 10 Hacker News stories, including article and comment summaries. The project emphasizes flexible development, supporting both local (with optional local LLM and Supabase) and remote deployed environments.
- **Problem being solved / Opportunity being addressed:**
- The primary problem is the difficulty for individuals to efficiently keep up with the high volume of content and discussions on Hacker News.
- The opportunity is to provide a curated, easily digestible summary in both text and audio formats, catering to busy tech enthusiasts who want to stay informed, while also serving as a comprehensive demonstration project for modern web application development practices.
## Vision & Goals
- **Vision:** To be the go-to daily digest for Hacker News enthusiasts, offering both text and audio summaries to fit their busy lifestyles, demonstrating a modern web application architecture with robust local and remote development/deployment capabilities.
- **Primary Goals (SMART for MVP):**
- **Goal 1:** Successfully generate and store a daily top 10 Hacker News summary (text content and audio link from Play.ai's PlayNote API) within a defined daily processing window, functional in both local and deployed environments.
- **Goal 2:** For unauthenticated users: Display a list of generated summaries, excluding the two most recent editions, and limit viewing to a small number (e.g., the 3rd, 4th, and 5th most recent). Include a clear call to action to register for access to the latest content and email delivery.
- **Goal 3:** Enable registered users to log in, view/listen to all past summaries (including the latest), and manage their email subscription preference for the daily newsletter.
- **Success Metrics (Initial Ideas for MVP):**
- Consistent daily generation of the top 10 Hacker News summary content (locally and deployed).
- Successful retrieval of the audio link from the Play.ai PlayNote API webhook.
- Successful storage of all retrieved assets (HN posts, comments, scraped articles, summaries, podcast URLs) in Supabase (local Docker and deployed).
- Ability for registered users to toggle email notifications and receive them successfully.
- Ability for unauthenticated users to view a limited set of older content.
- Ability for authenticated users to view all content.
- CLI command successfully triggers on-demand content generation and storage in the local environment.
## Target Audience / Users
- **Primary End-Users:** Tech-savvy individuals, likely regular readers of Hacker News, who are often busy and would benefit from efficiently consumed, curated summaries of top stories and discussions, available in both text and engaging two-person podcast format.
- **Secondary Audience / Developer Persona:** Developers interested in learning from or contributing to a practical, real-world example application. They are keen on understanding the architecture (Next.js, Supabase, Vercel), specific API integrations (Play.ai PlayNote, `hnangolia`, Cheerio), LLM usage (interchangeable local Ollama and remote API-based models), local development setup (including Dockerized Supabase and CLI tooling), and deployment best practices.
## Key Features / Scope (High-Level Ideas for MVP)
- **Feature 1 (Content Sourcing):** Automated daily fetching of top Hacker News stories (e.g., top 10) using the `hnangolia` library.
- **Feature 2 (Content Scraping):** Scraping of linked article content using Cheerio for summarization.
- **Feature 3 (Content Summarization):** LLM-powered summarization of articles and associated Hacker News comments to create a "top 10 countdown" style daily briefing.
- Must support using a local LLM (e.g., via Ollama) during local development.
- Must support using a remote LLM (via API key) for deployed/remote environment or local development.
- **Feature 4 (Data Storage):** Comprehensive storage of all generated and retrieved assets (HN posts, comments, full scraped content, summaries, podcast URLs) in Supabase.
- Supports a local Docker version of Supabase for local development.
- Utilizes a cloud-hosted Supabase instance for the deployed application.
- **Feature 5 (Audio Generation):** Integration with the Play.ai **PlayNote API** to submit the text summary and receive a two-person AI-generated podcast link via a webhook.
- **Feature 6 (Content Generation Workflow - Automated):** A daily automated process (e.g., cron job, Vercel cron) orchestrating content sourcing, scraping, summarization, storage, and audio generation submission.
- **Feature 7 (Content Generation Workflow - Manual CLI):** A command-line interface (CLI) tool to trigger the entire content generation and storage process on-demand in the local development environment.
- **Feature 8 (Web Interface - List View):** A public web page listing generated summaries/podcasts.
- Unauthenticated users see a limited list (e.g., 3rd-5th most recent) with a call to register for full access.
- Authenticated users see all available summaries/podcasts.
- **Feature 9 (Web Interface - Detail View):** A detail page for each daily summary, displaying the full text briefing and an embedded audio player for the podcast.
- **Feature 10 (User Authentication):** User registration (email/password) and login/logout functionality using Supabase Auth.
- **Feature 11 (User Profile - Email Notifications):** Authenticated users can access a setting to toggle on/off daily email notifications for new briefings.
- **Feature 12 (Email Dispatch):** Automated daily email dispatch of the new newsletter (containing text summary highlights and podcast link) to all subscribed registered users.
## Post MVP Features / Scope and Ideas
- **Feature 1 (Admin Interface):** A web-based administrative interface for managing the application (e.g., view generation logs, manually trigger/re-run generation, potentially manage users or content).
- **Feature 2 (Flexible Scheduling & Editions):** Ability to configure and generate different summary cadences and types (e.g., weekly digests, "night and weekend" editions, topic-focused summaries).
- **Feature 3 (User Customization):** Allow users to customize content (e.g., choose number of stories, filter by keywords/topics).
- **Feature 4 (Expanded Content Sources):** Integrate other news sources beyond Hacker News.
## Known Technical Constraints or Preferences
- **Core Stack:** Next.js (frontend/backend), Supabase (database, auth, storage), Vercel (hosting, serverless functions, cron jobs).
- **Hosting Tier:** Vercel Pro tier to leverage potentially longer function execution times and other professional-grade features.
- **Content Fetching:** `hnangolia` library for Hacker News data.
- **Content Scraping:** Cheerio for HTML parsing of articles.
- **LLM:**
- Flexibility to use local LLMs (e.g., Ollama) for local development.
- Ability to use API-based LLMs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic - specific model to be decided) for production or as an alternative in local development. Configurable via API keys.
- **Audio Generation:** Specifically use the Play.ai **PlayNote API** for its two-person podcast generation feature; webhook for callback.
- **Local Development Environment:**
- Must support running the full application stack locally.
- Local Supabase instance running in Docker.
- CLI for on-demand content generation.
- **Data Persistence:** All fetched (HN posts, comments), scraped (article content), and generated (summaries, podcast URLs) data must be stored, both locally and in the deployed environment.
- **Architecture on Vercel:**
- The daily content generation process will likely be architected as a **pipeline of multiple, chained serverless functions** to manage execution time and resources efficiently within Vercel's limits.
- Webhooks (e.g., from Play.ai) are critical for handling asynchronous operations from external services.
- Consideration for efficient batching or queuing of tasks (e.g., article scraping and summarization) to avoid hitting function timeouts or resource limits. Vercel KV or external queues (like Upstash QStash) might be explored if simple direct invocation chaining becomes insufficient.
- **Risks:**
- **Vercel Function Execution Limits:** Even on the Pro tier, individual serverless functions have execution time limits. The pipeline approach is intended to mitigate this, but complex/slow steps (especially numerous LLM calls or heavy scraping) need careful management and optimization.
- **LLM Processing Time/Cost:** LLM summarizations can be time-consuming and/or costly depending on the model and number of tokens processed. This needs to be factored into the daily processing window and operational budget.
- **Scraping Reliability:** Websites can change their structure, breaking scrapers. Anti-scraping measures could also pose a challenge.
- **External API Dependencies:** Reliance on Hacker News (`hnangolia`), LLM provider, and Play.ai means that any downtime or API changes from these services can impact the application.
- **Webhook Management:** Ensuring reliable receipt and processing of webhooks, including handling retries or failures.
- **Cold Starts:** Serverless functions can have "cold starts," which might introduce latency, especially for the first request in a while or for less frequently used functions in the pipeline. This needs to be acceptable for the user experience or generation window.

----- START Architect Prompt ------
## Initial Architect Prompt
Based on our discussions and requirements analysis for the BMad News DiCaster, I've compiled the following technical guidance to inform your architecture analysis and decisions to kick off Architecture Creation Mode:
### Technical Infrastructure
* **Starter Project/Template:** The project will use the Supabase starter template from \[<https://vercel.com/templates/authentication/supabase>\](https://vercel.com/templates/authentication/supabase) and its current versions. [cite: 40, 41]
* **Hosting/Cloud Provider:** Vercel Pro tier will be used for hosting. [cite: 41]
* **Frontend Platform:** Next.js will be used for the frontend. [cite: 40, 41]
* **Backend Platform:** Next.js will also be used for the backend (serverless functions). [cite: 40, 41, 49, 50, 51, 52]
* **Database Requirements:** Supabase will be used as the database (both local Docker and cloud-hosted). [cite: 40, 41, 46, 47, 48]
### Technical Constraints
* The daily content generation process will likely be architected as a pipeline of multiple, chained serverless functions to manage execution time and resources efficiently within Vercel's limits. [cite: 49, 50, 51, 52]
* Vercel Function Execution Limits: Even on the Pro tier, individual serverless functions have execution time limits. The pipeline approach is intended to mitigate this, but complex/slow steps (especially numerous LLM calls or heavy scraping) need careful management and optimization. [cite: 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61]
* LLM Processing Time/Cost: LLM summarizations can be time-consuming and/or costly depending on the model and number of tokens processed. This needs to be factored into the daily processing window and operational budget. [cite: 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61]
* Scraping Reliability: Websites can change their structure, breaking scrapers. Anti-scraping measures could also pose a challenge. [cite: 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61]
* External API Dependencies: Reliance on Hacker News (`hnangolia`), LLM providers, and Play.ai means that any downtime or API changes from these services can impact the application. [cite: 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61]
* Webhook Management: Ensuring reliable receipt and processing of webhooks, including handling retries or failures. [cite: 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61]
* Cold Starts: Serverless functions can have "cold starts," which might introduce latency, especially for the first request in a while or for less frequently used functions in the pipeline. This needs to be acceptable for the user experience or generation window. [cite: 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61]
* Facades should be used for interacting with external libraries to improve testability and allow for swapping libraries.
* A factory pattern should be used for scraper implementations to facilitate adding new scrapers in the future.
### Deployment Considerations
* CI/CD should be set up for automatic deployments.
* Environments: Local, and Production (Vercel). [cite: 40, 41]
### Local Development & Testing Requirements
* Local Supabase instance should run in Docker. [cite: 46, 47, 48]
* A CLI tool should be provided for on-demand content generation. [cite: 46, 47, 48]
* Jest and React Testing Library (RTL) will be used for testing.
### Other Technical Considerations
* The architecture should follow layered best practices for Next.js.
