New section in CLAUDE.md after "Order of work for each new module".
Three consecutive incidents in the timetable sprint led to formalising
this principle:
- B1 (controller assumed buggy, seeder was wrong) — Phase A's
schema-verify gate against SCHEMA.md:1285 + RFC §10.2 inverted the
fix direction.
- B5 (enum-shape assumed drifted, decimals were wrong) — Phase A's
field-by-field response audit caught the actual decimal-as-string
drift before any "fix" against the wrong hypothesis was written.
- Timetable UX (test-passing layer diverged from prototype) — the
mechanical-vs-UX split surfaced via browser test, not via the
389-test suite which all agreed with the buggy state.
Pattern across all three: the initial hypothesis was wrong. The fix
prompts ALL gated Phase A as STOP-and-report; the schema/contract/
prototype audit was reviewed before any code was written. Codifying
this as an explicit project principle so future fix prompts inherit
the gate by default.

Crewli
Multi-tenant SaaS platform for event and festival operations: planning, people, accreditation, artist advancing, volunteer shifts, briefings, and show-day tooling (Mission Control). The backend is a JSON-only Laravel API; all user interfaces are Vue 3 single-page apps.
What Crewli covers
- Organisations & events — Multi-tenant data with organisation-scoped access; events move through a defined lifecycle (draft → published → registration → buildup → show day → teardown → closed).
- Festival structure — Sections, time slots, shifts, assignments, claiming/approval flows for volunteers and crew.
- People & crowds — Crowd types (crew, volunteers, artists, guests, press, partners, suppliers), persons, lists, and (planned) rich accreditation (items, zones, hand-out).
- Artists & advancing — Booking status, stages/timetable concepts, advance sections and token-based portal access for external artists.
- Communication — Briefings, campaigns, and operational messaging (see architecture doc for target modules).
- Portal (external users) — One portal app, two modes: login (Sanctum) for long-term users such as volunteers, and token access for per-event links (e.g. artists, suppliers).
Implementation is phased; the authoritative feature and schema list lives in the architecture and design references below.
Applications
| App | Path | Port | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| SPA | apps/app/ |
5174 | Single-SPA product covering organizers, volunteers, crew, super admins (context-routed in-app), plus token-based access for artists, suppliers, press. Includes Platform Admin section for super admins (/platform/*). |
The SPA talks to the API over CORS with Laravel Sanctum tokens.
Tech stack
| Layer | Technology |
|---|---|
| API | PHP 8.2+, Laravel 12, Sanctum, Spatie Permission (and Activity Log / Media Library where used) |
| Data | MySQL 8, Redis (cache/queues) |
| Frontends | Vue 3, TypeScript, Vite, Vuexy + Vuetify, Pinia, TanStack Query, VeeValidate + Zod |
| Local services | Docker Compose (MySQL, Redis, Mailpit) |
Rule of thumb: business tables use ULID primary keys; event-related data is scoped by organisation (global scopes + policies), not ad hoc where clauses in controllers.

Vuexy @core/ and @layouts/ in each app should stay untouched; customize via app config, navigation, and app-level components.
Quick start
# 1. Infrastructure
make services
# 2. API env, dependencies, database (see docs/SETUP.md)
cd api && cp .env.example .env && composer install && php artisan key:generate && php artisan migrate
# 3. Run API + the SPAs you need (separate terminals)
make api
make app
make portal
Detailed setup: docs/SETUP.md.
Development URLs
| Service | Development | Env / notes |
|---|---|---|
| API | http://localhost:8000/api/v1 | Base path /api/v1 |
| Organizer | http://localhost:5174 | FRONTEND_APP_URL |
| Portal | http://localhost:5175 | FRONTEND_PORTAL_URL |
| Mailpit | http://localhost:8025 | Local mail capture |
Production (crewli.app)
Domains: crewli.app is this product (API + organizer + portal SPAs, transactional email from the app, seeds, etc.). crewli.nl is reserved for a future public marketing site only — do not point this codebase's APP_URL, CORS, Sanctum, or app mail at crewli.nl.
Typical layout (configure the same values in api/.env — see api/.env.example):
| Service | URL | Env variable |
|---|---|---|
| API | https://api.crewli.app |
APP_URL |
| Organizer | https://crewli.app |
FRONTEND_APP_URL |
| Portal | https://portal.crewli.app |
FRONTEND_PORTAL_URL |
Frontends: set VITE_API_URL=https://api.crewli.app/api/v1 in each app's env for production builds. SANCTUM_STATEFUL_DOMAINS must list the hostnames only of the two SPAs (e.g. crewli.app,portal.crewli.app).
