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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# KeepItTalking backend (Phase 1 + 2)
|
|
|
|
FastAPI + SQLAlchemy 2.0 (async) + PostgreSQL. Implements auth, room CRUD
|
|
(open and private), room roles (owner/admin/member) and invites, and a
|
|
single-instance WebSocket chat endpoint. See `../ARCHITECTURE.md` for the
|
|
full system design and the phased build plan.
|
|
|
|
This is an **invite-only site**: there is no public registration endpoint.
|
|
Accounts are created by an operator on the app server — see step 4 below.
|
|
|
|
## Local dev setup
|
|
|
|
### 1. Postgres
|
|
|
|
Any local Postgres 14+ works. The quickest option is a container:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run -d --name chatapp-postgres \
|
|
-e POSTGRES_USER=chatapp -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=chatapp -e POSTGRES_DB=chatapp \
|
|
-p 5432:5432 postgres:16-alpine
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then create the test database (used by the test suite, kept separate from dev data):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker exec chatapp-postgres psql -U chatapp -d chatapp -c "CREATE DATABASE chatapp_test;"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(Docker here is purely a local-dev convenience for standing up Postgres quickly —
|
|
the actual deployment target has no containers at all, see `ARCHITECTURE.md` §9.)
|
|
|
|
### 2. Python environment
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd backend
|
|
python3 -m venv .venv
|
|
.venv/bin/pip install -e ".[dev]"
|
|
cp .env.example .env
|
|
# edit .env: set SESSION_SECRET to a long random string, e.g.
|
|
# python3 -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. Migrations
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
.venv/bin/alembic upgrade head
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 4. Create a user
|
|
|
|
There's no public sign-up. Create accounts directly with the CLI (add
|
|
`--admin` to grant `is_site_admin`, useful ahead of the phase-6 admin portal):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
.venv/bin/python -m app.cli create-user alice alice@example.com "some-password"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 5. Run the dev server
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
.venv/bin/uvicorn app.main:app --reload
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
API docs: http://localhost:8000/docs. WebSocket chat endpoint: `ws://localhost:8000/ws/chat`.
|
|
|
|
### 6. Run tests
|
|
|
|
Tests run against a real Postgres database (`chatapp_test` by default — native
|
|
`ENUM`/`UUID` types aren't faithfully reproduced by SQLite), with each test
|
|
wrapped in a transaction that's rolled back afterward:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
DATABASE_URL=postgresql+asyncpg://chatapp:chatapp@localhost:5432/chatapp_test .venv/bin/pytest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Layout

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Room roles and invites (Phase 2)
|
|
|
|
Rooms can be `open` (anyone can join via `POST /api/rooms/{id}/join`) or
|
|
`private` (`is_private: true` at creation — joinable only via invite). Room
|
|
roles are `owner` > `admin` > `member`:
|
|
- **member**: post messages, leave the room
|
|
- **admin**: edit room settings, create/list/revoke invites, remove plain members
|
|
- **owner**: everything admin can, plus delete the room, remove admins, change
|
|
member roles, and transfer ownership
|
|
|
|
Invite flow: an admin+ calls `POST /api/rooms/{id}/invites` with an existing
|
|
`target_username`; the invited user sees it via `GET /api/invites/mine` and
|
|
calls `POST /api/invites/{id}/accept` (or `/decline`). `GET /api/rooms/mine`
|
|
lists every room (open + private) the current user belongs to, alongside
|
|
their role.
|
|
|
|
## Notes / scope decisions
|
|
|
|
- Invite-only site registration: no `POST /api/auth/register`. Accounts are
|
|
provisioned with `python -m app.cli create-user` (see step 4 above). This is
|
|
separate from *room* invites above — site accounts vs. room membership.
|
|
- Room invites are by **username only** — `room_invites.target_email` exists
|
|
in the schema (per `ARCHITECTURE.md`) but is unused, since there's no
|
|
email-delivery mechanism anywhere in the stack yet.
|
|
- Sessions are signed cookies (Starlette `SessionMiddleware`), not a server-side
|
|
session table — see `ARCHITECTURE.md`'s rationale (simplest way to carry auth
|
|
through a WebSocket handshake). This means there's currently no way to force-
|
|
revoke a session server-side; that needs a real session table later.
|
|
- No CSRF token yet — `SameSite=Lax` cookies plus a same-origin frontend dev
|
|
proxy (see `../frontend/vite.config.ts`) is the accepted phase-1 mitigation.
|
|
- Deleting a room explicitly deletes its messages/memberships/invites first
|
|
(`room_service.delete_room`) rather than relying on DB-level cascades.
