ksmithandClaude Sonnet 5 c79e96dd48 Phase 2: private rooms, room roles, and invites (backend only)
Adds room_invites table + migration, owner/admin/member role enforcement
(require_room_role), and endpoints for private room creation, room
management (update/delete/leave/transfer-ownership/change-role/remove-member),
and the invite lifecycle (create/list/accept/decline/revoke). Registration
stays invite-only via the CLI from Phase 1 — this is a separate, room-level
invite system for adding existing users to private rooms.

Frontend is untouched: the UI redesign is happening separately, so this phase
is backend + tests only (35 passing). Verified no regressions in the Phase 1
open-room/WebSocket flow via manual smoke test.

# KeepItTalking
A web-based team chat service (Mattermost-style, no threaded conversations),
invite-only. See [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md) for the full system design
and phased build plan.
**Phase 1**: auth, open-room CRUD, and single-instance WebSocket chat, backend
+ a minimal frontend. **Phase 2**: private rooms, room roles (owner/admin/
member), and room invites — backend only, see below. Later phases (push
notifications, Redis fan-out, the admin portal, the bot/extension system, and
production deployment) are tracked as issues in the repo's issue tracker,
prioritized.
## Structure
- [`backend/`](backend/) — FastAPI + SQLAlchemy 2.0 (async) + PostgreSQL. See
[`backend/README.md`](backend/README.md) for local setup, migrations, how to
create a user (site registration is invite-only — no public sign-up
endpoint), and the Phase 2 room-roles/invites API.
- [`frontend/`](frontend/) — React + Vite PWA (login, room list, chat view).
Still Phase-1-only: it doesn't yet call any of the Phase 2 endpoints. A UI
redesign is happening separately; frontend work resumes once that lands.
## Quickstart
```bash
# 1. Postgres (see backend/README.md for details)
docker run -d --name chatapp-postgres \
-e POSTGRES_USER=chatapp -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=chatapp -e POSTGRES_DB=chatapp \
-p 5432:5432 postgres:16-alpine
# 2. Backend
cd backend
python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -e ".[dev]"
cp .env.example .env # then set SESSION_SECRET
.venv/bin/alembic upgrade head
.venv/bin/python -m app.cli create-user alice alice@example.com "some-password"
.venv/bin/uvicorn app.main:app --reload &
# 3. Frontend (in another shell)
cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev
```
Then open http://localhost:5173 and log in with the account created above.
The Vite dev server proxies `/api` and `/ws` to the backend on `:8000`, so no
CORS configuration is needed in development.
## Deployment
Not part of Phase 1. The target is two plain Linux servers with no
containers — see [ARCHITECTURE.md §9](ARCHITECTURE.md#9-deployment-architecture--two-linux-servers-no-docker)
and the corresponding "Production deployment" issue in the tracker.
