The workflow is designed for collaborative development with minimal merge conflicts. + +**Key Principles:** +- Work in isolation on feature branches +- Keep commits focused and logical +- Test locally before pushing +- Let CI validate before merge +- One issue per developer (no duplicated effort) + +--- + +## Prerequisites + +Before starting any work: + +1. **Fork the repository** (one-time setup) + ```bash + # Visit https://github.com/ericmt-98/micopay-protocol + # Click "Fork" in the top right + # Clone your fork locally + git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/micopay-protocol.git + cd micopay-protocol + ``` + +2. **Add upstream remote** (track the main repo) + ```bash + git remote add upstream https://github.com/ericmt-98/micopay-protocol.git + ``` + +3. **Install dependencies** (from repo root) + ```bash + npm install + ``` + +--- + +## Step-by-Step Workflow + +### Step 1: Sync Your Fork with Upstream + +Before starting work, ensure your local `main` is up-to-date: + +```bash +# Switch to main branch +git checkout main + +# Fetch latest changes from upstream +git fetch upstream + +# Rebase your main on top of upstream/main +git rebase upstream/main + +# Push to your fork +git push origin main +``` + +**Why this matters:** Prevents conflicts when opening your PR later. + +--- + +### Step 2: Create a Feature Branch + +Create a branch for your work using a clear naming convention: + +```bash +# Naming conventions: +# - fix/issue-description (for bug fixes) +# - feat/feature-name (for new features) +# - docs/what-changed (for documentation) +# - refactor/component-name (for refactors) + +# Examples: +git checkout -b fix/empty-state-on-history +git checkout -b feat/merchant-onboarding +git checkout -b docs/local-setup-guide +``` + +**Rule:** Branch name should reference the issue number or clearly describe the work. + +--- + +### Step 3: Make Focused Commits + +As you develop, commit frequently with clear, logical commit messages: + +```bash +# Stage only the files you changed for this logical unit +git add src/components/Button.tsx src/styles/button.css + +# Commit with a clear message (imperative mood) +git commit -m "fix: remove unused padding on button component" + +# Good commit messages: +# - fix: solve the bug +# - feat: add new feature +# - refactor: restructure without changing behavior +# - docs: update documentation +# - test: add or update tests + +# Avoid: +# - "Fixed stuff" (not imperative) +# - "WIP" (work in progress on main branch) +# - Combining 5+ unrelated changes in one commit +``` + +**Rule:** One logical change per commit. This makes reviews easier and rebasing cleaner. + +--- + +### Step 4: Test Locally Before Pushing + +The CI pipeline will block your merge if the build fails. **Test locally first to save time:** + +#### For Backend (Fastify, Node) + +```bash +cd micopay/backend + +# Install dependencies (if you added any) +npm install + +# Run the build (TypeScript compilation) +npm run build + +# Run locally to verify +npm run dev # Runs on http://localhost:3002 +``` + +#### For Frontend (React + Vite) + +```bash +cd micopay/frontend + +# Install dependencies (if you added any) +npm install + +# Run the build +npm run build + +# Run tests (currently informative, not blocking) +npm run test + +# Run locally to verify +npm run dev # Runs on http://localhost:5181 +``` + +#### Testing Checklist + +Before pushing, verify: + +- [ ] TypeScript compiles without errors: `npm run build` +- [ ] No console errors when running locally +- [ ] Feature works as described in the issue +- [ ] No console warnings (if possible) +- [ ] Existing functionality still works +- [ ] Tests pass (backend tests are required; frontend tests are informative for now) + +**Rule:** If the build fails locally, it will fail in CI. Fix it before pushing. + +--- + +### Step 5: Push to Your Feature Branch + +Once tests pass, push your commits: + +```bash +# Push to your fork (use -u flag on first push to set upstream tracking) +git push -u origin fix/empty-state-on-history + +# Subsequent pushes on the same branch: +git push + +# To force push (only after local commits, never on shared branches): +# Use with caution — only if you're rewriting unpushed commits +git push --force-with-lease origin fix/empty-state-on-history +``` + +**Rule:** Always push to your feature branch, never directly to `main`. + +--- + +### Step 6: Open a Pull Request + +On GitHub, create a PR with: + +1. **Title (short, imperative mood):** + ``` + fix: empty state on history tab + feat: add merchant profile screen + docs: add local setup guide + ``` + +2. **Description (answer these questions):** + ```markdown + ## What changed? + - Implemented empty state component for history tab when no trades exist + - Added empty state illustration and copy + + ## Why? + Closes #123 + (Reference the issue number — this auto-closes it when merged) + + ## How to test? + 1. Run `cd micopay/frontend && npm run dev` + 2. Navigate to the History tab + 3. Verify the empty state appears when there are no trades + 4. Verify it disappears when trades are loaded + + ## Notes + - No breaking changes + - Follows UX guidelines from docs/UX_MANIFESTO.md + - Only touches micopay/frontend/ (in-scope) + ``` + +3. **Link the issue:** + - Add "Closes #123" to automatically close the issue when merged + +**Rule:** Clear PR descriptions speed up review and prevent misunderstandings. + +--- + +### Step 7: Wait for CI to Pass + +GitHub Actions will automatically: + +- Build the backend (TypeScript compilation) +- Build the frontend (TypeScript compilation + Vite build) +- Run frontend tests (informative only for now) +- Report results on your PR + +**If CI fails:** +1. Click "Details" to see the error +2. Fix the issue locally on your feature branch +3. Commit and push again +4. CI runs automatically + +**Rule:** Don't merge until CI passes. + +--- + +### Step 8: Address Review Comments + +If reviewers request changes: + +```bash +# Make changes locally +vim src/components/MyComponent.tsx + +# Commit with clear message referencing the feedback +git commit -m "refactor: simplify component logic per review feedback" + +# Push the new commits +git push origin fix/empty-state-on-history +``` + +**Rule:** Don't squash commits during review — add new commits so reviewers can see what changed. + +--- + +### Step 9: Merge Your PR + +Once approved and CI passes: + +1. You or a maintainer clicks "Squash and merge" or "Merge" on GitHub +2. Your feature branch is merged to `main` +3. Your feature branch can be deleted +4. The linked issue is automatically closed + +**Local cleanup after merge:** + +```bash +# Switch back to main +git checkout main + +# Delete your local feature branch +git branch -d fix/empty-state-on-history + +# Delete the remote branch +git push origin --delete fix/empty-state-on-history + +# Fetch the latest main from upstream +git fetch upstream +git rebase upstream/main +git push origin main +``` + +--- + +## Conflict Prevention Strategies + +### 1. **Stay In-Scope** + +Only touch files relevant to your issue: + +**In-scope for Wave work:** +- `micopay/frontend/` — retail mobile app +- `micopay/backend/` — retail backend +- `docs/` — shared guides + +**Out-of-scope:** +- `apps/api/` +- `apps/web/` +- `contracts/` +- Old prototypes + +**Rule:** If your PR touches out-of-scope paths, it will be asked to split or rescope. + +### 2. **Communicate Before Starting** + +Comment on the issue before starting work: + +``` +@maintainer I'd like to work on this. Assigning myself. +``` + +Wait for confirmation. This prevents: +- Two people working on the same issue +- Duplicated effort +- Merge conflicts from similar changes + +**Rule:** One contributor per issue during the Wave. + +### 3. **Keep Commits Focused** + +Instead of: +``` +git commit -m "update components, fix styling, add tests, refactor utils" +``` + +Do: +``` +git commit -m "fix: remove unused padding in button component" +git commit -m "test: add button component tests" +git commit -m "refactor: extract button logic to hook" +``` + +**Why:** Focused commits are easier to review, rebase, and bisect if issues arise. + +### 4. **Sync Frequently** + +If your PR is open for a while, keep it updated: + +```bash +# Fetch upstream changes +git fetch upstream + +# Rebase your feature branch on latest main +git rebase upstream/main + +# Force push to your feature branch +git push --force-with-lease origin fix/empty-state-on-history +``` + +**Rule:** Rebase (don't merge) to keep history linear. + +### 5. **Test Before Pushing** + +The CI gate catches broken builds, but testing locally is faster: + +```bash +cd micopay/backend && npm run build && npm run dev & +cd micopay/frontend && npm run build && npm run test && npm run dev & +``` + +**Rule:** If it works locally, it will pass CI (usually). + +--- + +## CI/CD Gates + +Your code must pass these checks before merging: + +### Backend Gate + +- **TypeScript compilation:** `npm run build` +- Must complete without errors +- Blocks merge if it fails + +### Frontend Gate + +- **TypeScript compilation:** `npm run build` +- **Vite build:** Bundling and code splitting +- **Tests:** Currently informative, not blocking +- Blocks merge if build fails + +### Review Gate + +- At least one approval from a maintainer +- All conversations resolved + +--- + +## Common Scenarios + +### Scenario 1: You Need to Update Your PR + +**Situation:** Reviewer requests changes. + +```bash +# Make changes +vim src/components/MyComponent.tsx + +# Commit (don't squash) +git commit -m "refactor: simplify component logic per review feedback" + +# Push +git push origin fix/empty-state-on-history + +# CI runs automatically, reviewer sees new commits +``` + +### Scenario 2: Your PR Falls Behind Main + +**Situation:** Other PRs merged while yours was under review. + +```bash +# Fetch latest +git fetch upstream + +# Rebase on latest main +git rebase upstream/main + +# If there are conflicts, resolve them +# vim src/conflicted-file.ts +# git add src/conflicted-file.ts +# git rebase --continue + +# Force push to your branch +git push --force-with-lease origin fix/empty-state-on-history +``` + +### Scenario 3: Build Fails in CI + +**Situation:** Your PR failed the CI build. + +```bash +# Pull down the exact code CI ran +git fetch origin + +# Check out your branch +git checkout fix/empty-state-on-history + +# Reproduce the build locally +cd micopay/backend && npm run build +# or +cd micopay/frontend && npm run build + +# Fix the error +# Commit and push +git commit -m "fix: resolve build error in component" +git push origin fix/empty-state-on-history + +# CI runs again automatically +``` + +### Scenario 4: You Accidentally Committed to Main + +**Situation:** You ran `git commit` while on `main` instead of a feature branch. + +```bash +# Get the commit hash +git log -1 --oneline # Example: a1b2c3d "fix: something" + +# Create a new feature branch at this commit +git checkout -b fix/something + +# Reset main to upstream/main +git checkout main +git reset --hard upstream/main + +# Push to your fork +git push --force-with-lease origin main +``` + +--- + +## IDE Configuration (Kiro / VS Code) + +### Git Workflow Hooks + +Consider setting up hooks for your IDE: + +**Pre-push hook (test before pushing):** +```bash +#!/bin/sh +# Run tests before allowing push +cd micopay/backend && npm run build || exit 1 +cd micopay/frontend && npm run build || exit 1 +``` + +**Pre-commit hook (verify format):** +```bash +#!/bin/sh +# Prevent commits with obvious errors +npm run lint --fix +``` + +### IDE Commands to Memorize + +``` +# Create and switch to branch +git checkout -b fix/issue-name + +# Stage specific files +git add src/components/MyComponent.tsx + +# Commit +git commit -m "fix: clear description" + +# Push to feature branch +git push -u origin fix/issue-name + +# Pull latest from upstream +git fetch upstream && git rebase upstream/main + +# View branch history +git log --oneline --graph --all + +# Undo last commit (keep changes) +git reset --soft HEAD~1 + +# See what changed +git diff src/components/MyComponent.tsx +``` + +--- + +## Troubleshooting + +### "Your branch has diverged from 'origin/fix/issue-name'" + +```bash +# Rebase to catch up +git fetch origin +git rebase origin/fix/issue-name +git push --force-with-lease origin fix/issue-name +``` + +### "Merge conflict in src/App.tsx" + +```bash +# Open the file and resolve conflicts +vim src/App.tsx + +# Look for <<< >>> markers and choose which code to keep + +# Mark as resolved +git add src/App.tsx + +# Continue the rebase +git rebase --continue + +# Push +git push --force-with-lease origin fix/issue-name +``` + +### "Permission denied (publickey)" + +```bash +# You need to set up SSH keys +# Follow: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh + +# Or use HTTPS instead: +git

-All responses include these security headers: - -| Header | Value | Purpose | -|--------|-------|---------| -| Strict-Transport-Security | max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload | HTTPS enforcement | -| X-Content-Type-Options | nosniff | MIME sniffing prevention | -| X-Frame-Options | DENY | Clickjacking prevention | -| Content-Security-Policy | restrictive | Script injection prevention | -| Referrer-Policy | strict-origin-when-cross-origin | Referrer leakage prevention | -| X-XSS-Protection | 1; mode=block | XSS filter (legacy) | - ---- - -## Common Scenarios - -### Scenario 1: Local Development - -**Goal:** Frontend on localhost:5173, API on localhost:3000 - -```bash -# No configuration needed -npm run dev - -# Frontend can access: -# GET http://localhost:3000/merchants -# POST http://localhost:3000/auth/token -``` - -### Scenario 2: Production with Single Domain - -**Goal:** Deploy API at `api.example.com`, frontend at `app.example.com` - -```bash -# .env or deployment environment -NODE_ENV=production -CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://app.example.com - -npm start -``` - -**Result:** -- ✅ `https://app.example.com` can access API -- ❌ `https://malicious.com` gets CORS error -- ✅ Security headers present in all responses - -### Scenario 3: Production with Multiple Domains - -**Goal:** Multiple frontend deployments + CDN - -```bash -# .env or deployment environment -NODE_ENV=production -CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://app.example.com,https://admin.example.com,https://cdn.example.com - -npm start -``` - -### Scenario 4: Staging vs Production - -**Staging:** -```bash -NODE_ENV=staging # or development -CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://staging.example.com - -npm start -``` - -**Production:** -```bash -NODE_ENV=production -CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://app.example.com - -npm start -``` - ---- - -## Testing CORS Configuration - -### Test 1: Verify CORS Headers - -```bash -# Check that security headers are present -curl -i http://localhost:3000/health | grep -E "(Strict-Transport|X-Content|X-Frame|CSP|Referrer)" - -# Expected output: -# strict-transport-security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload -# x-content-type-options: nosniff -# x-frame-options: DENY -# content-security-policy: ... -# referrer-policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin -``` - -### Test 2: Verify CORS Origin Acceptance - -```bash -# Test allowed origin (localhost in dev) -curl -H "Origin: http://localhost:3000" \ - -H "Access-Control-Request-Method: GET" \ - -X OPTIONS http://localhost:3000/merchants -v 2>&1 | grep access-control - -# Test unauthorized origin (production) -curl -H "Origin: http://attacker.com" \ - -H "Access-Control-Request-Method: GET" \ - -X OPTIONS http://localhost:3000/merchants -v 2>&1 | grep access-control -``` - -### Test 3: Verify Authenticated Requests - -```bash -# With valid JWT token -curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \ - -H "Origin: http://localhost:3000" \ - http://localhost:3000/merchants - -# Without token (public endpoint) -curl -H "Origin: http://localhost:3000" \ - http://localhost:3000/merchants -``` - ---- - -## Troubleshooting - -### Issue: CORS Error in Browser Console - -**Error:** `Access to XMLHttpRequest blocked by CORS policy` - -**Solution:** -1. Check that frontend origin is in `CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS` - ```bash - echo $CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS - ``` -2. Verify protocol matches exactly (http vs https) -3. Verify port matches exactly (localhost:3000 vs localhost:5173) -4. Check that security headers don't block the request - -### Issue: Security Headers Missing - -**Solution:** -1. Verify `@fastify/helmet` is installed - ```bash - npm ls @fastify/helmet - ``` -2. Rebuild the application - ```bash - npm run build - ``` -3. Restart the server - ```bash - npm start - ``` - -### Issue: Legitimate Requests Rejected - -**Solution:** -1. Check the exact origin from browser network tab -2. Add to `CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS` with correct protocol/port -3.
