+# CLAUDE.md - Echoes of the Ash
+
+## Project Overview
+- **Type**: Dark Fantasy RPG Adventure
+- **Stack**: Monorepo with Python/FastAPI backend and React/Vite/TypeScript frontend.
+- **Infrastructure**: Docker Compose (Postgres, Redis, Traefik).
+- **Primary Target**: Web (PWA + API). Electron is secondary.
+
+## Commands
+
+### Development & Deployment
+- **Start (Dev)**: `docker compose up -d`
+- **Apply Changes**: `docker compose build && docker compose up -d` (Required for both code and env changes)
+- **Restart API**: `docker compose restart echoes_of_the_ashes_api`
+- **View Logs**: `docker compose logs -f [service_name]` (e.g., `echoes_of_the_ashes_api`, `echoes_of_the_ashes_pwa`)
+
+### Frontend (PWA)
+- **Directory**: `pwa/`
+- **Install**: `npm install`
+- **Dev Server**: `npm run dev`
+- **Build**: `npm run build`
+- **Lint**: `npm run lint`
+
+### Backend (API)
+- **Directory**: `api/`
+- **Dependencies**: `requirements.txt`
+- **Manual Run**: `uvicorn main:app --reload` (Local only, relies on env vars)
+
+### Testing
+- **Directory**: `tests/`
+- **Status**: Temporary/Manual scripts.
+- **Run**: `python tests/test_api.py` (Run locally or inside container depending on env access)
+
+## Architecture & Code Structure
+
+### Backend (`api/`)
+- **Entry**: `main.py`
+- **Routers**: `routers/` (Modular endpoints: `game_routes.py`, `combat.py`, `auth.py`, etc.)
+- **Core**: `core/` (Config, Security, WebSockets)
+- **Services**: `services/` (Models, Helpers)
+- **Pattern**: 
+    - Use `routers` for new features.
+    - Register routers in `main.py` (auto-registration logic exists but explicit is clearer).
+    - Pydantic models in `services/models.py`.
+
+### Frontend (`pwa/`)
+- **Entry**: `src/main.tsx`
+- **Styling**: Standard CSS files per component (e.g., `components/Game.css`). No Tailwind/Modules.
+- **State**: Zustand stores (`src/stores/`).
+- **Translation**: i18next (`src/i18n/`).
+
+## Style Guidelines
+- **Python**: PEP8 standard. No strict linter enforced.
+- **TypeScript**: Standard ESLint rules from Vite template.
+- **CSS**: Plain CSS. Keep component styles in dedicated files.
+- **Docs**: update `QUICK_REFERENCE.md` if simplified logic or architecture changes.

+
+2. **Use in locations** in `locations.json` interactables
+
+3. **Add image** at `images/interactables/my_object.webp`
+

+
+## 🎯 Key Game Mechanics
+
+### Stamina System
+- Base stamina pool (increases with Stamina stat)
+- Regenerates passively over time
+- Consumed by: Movement, Combat Actions, Interactions, Crafting
+- Encumbrance from equipment increases stamina costs
+
+### Combat Flow
+1. Player or NPC initiates combat
+2. Turn-based with initiative system
+3. NPCs show **intent preview** (next planned action)
+4. Player chooses: Attack, Defend, Use Item, Flee
+5. Status effects tick each turn
+6. Combat ends on death or successful flee
+
+### Loot System
+- **Immediate drops** from loot_table (on death)
+- **Corpse harvesting** from corpse_loot (requires tools)
+- **Interactable loot** with success/failure mechanics
+- **Respawn timers** for interactables
+
+### Crafting Requirements
+- Sufficient materials in inventory
+- Required tools with durability
+- Crafting level unlocked
+- Optional: Workbench location tag
+
