+Clean Architecture plan for GridPilot (NestJS-focused)
+
+This document defines the target architecture and rules for GridPilot.
+It is written as a developer-facing contract: what goes where, what is allowed, and what is forbidden.
+
+⸻
+
+1. Architectural goals
+	•	Strict Clean Architecture (dependency rule enforced)
+	•	Domain-first design (DDD-inspired)
+	•	Frameworks are delivery mechanisms, not architecture
+	•	Business logic is isolated from persistence, UI, and infrastructure
+	•	Explicit composition roots
+	•	High testability without mocking the domain
+
+⸻
+
+2. High-level structure
+
+/apps
+  /api              # NestJS API (delivery mechanism)
+  /website          # Next.js website (delivery mechanism)
+  /electron         # Electron app (delivery mechanism)
+
+/core               # Business rules (framework-agnostic)
+  /analytics
+  /automation
+  /identity
+  /media
+  /notifications
+  /racing
+  /social
+  /shared
+
+/adapters           # Technical implementations (details)
+  /persistence
+    /typeorm
+    /inmemory
+  /auth
+  /media
+  /notifications
+  /logging
+
+/testing            # Test-only code (never shipped)
+  /contexts
+  /factories
+  /builders
+  /fakes
+  /fixtures
+
+
+⸻
+
+3. Dependency rule (non-negotiable)
+
+Dependencies must only point inward:
+
+apps → adapters → core
+
+Forbidden:
+	•	core importing from adapters
+	•	core importing from apps
+	•	domain entities importing ORM, NestJS, or framework code
+
+⸻
+
+4. Core rules
+
+The Core contains only business rules.
+
+Core MAY contain:
+	•	Domain entities
+	•	Value objects
+	•	Domain services
+	•	Domain events
+	•	Repository interfaces
+	•	Application use cases
+	•	Application-level ports
+
+Core MUST NOT contain:
+	•	ORM entities
+	•	Persistence implementations
+	•	In-memory repositories
+	•	NestJS decorators
+	•	TypeORM decorators
+	•	HTTP / GraphQL / IPC concerns
+	•	Faker, demo data, seeds
+
+⸻
+
+5. Domain entities
+
+Domain entities:
+	•	Represent business concepts
+	•	Enforce invariants
+	•	Contain behavior
+	•	Are immutable or controlled via methods
+
+Example characteristics:
+	•	Private constructors
+	•	Static factory methods
+	•	Explicit validation
+	•	Value objects for identity
+
+Domain entities must never:
+	•	Be decorated with @Entity, @Column, etc.
+	•	Be reused as persistence models
+	•	Know how they are stored
+
+⸻
+
+6. Persistence entities (ORM)
+
+Persistence entities live in adapters and are data-only.
+
+/adapters/persistence/typeorm/<context>
+  - PageViewOrmEntity.ts
+
+Rules:
+	•	No business logic
+	•	No validation
+	•	No behavior
+	•	Flat data structures
+
+ORM entities are not domain entities.
+
+⸻
+
+7. Mapping (anti-corruption layer)
+
+Mapping between domain and persistence is explicit and isolated.
+
+/adapters/persistence/typeorm/<context>
+  - PageViewMapper.ts
+
+Rules:
+	•	Domain ↔ ORM mapping only happens in adapters
+	•	Mappers are pure functions
+	•	Boilerplate is acceptable and expected
+
+⸻
+
+8. Repositories
+
+Core
+
+/core/<context>/domain/repositories
+  - IPageViewRepository.ts
+
+Only interfaces.
+
+Adapters
+
+/adapters/persistence/typeorm/<context>
+  - PageViewTypeOrmRepository.ts
+
+/adapters/persistence/inmemory/<context>
+  - InMemoryPageViewRepository.ts
+
+Rules:
+	•	Repositories translate between domain entities and storage models
+	•	Repositories implement core interfaces
+	•	Repositories hide all persistence details from the core
+
+⸻
+
+9. In-memory repositories
+
+In-memory repositories are test adapters, not core infrastructure.
+
+Rules:
+	•	Never placed in /core
+	•	Allowed only in /adapters/persistence/inmemory
+	•	Used for unit tests and integration tests
+	•	Must behave like real repositories
+
+⸻
+
+10. NestJS API (/apps/api)
+
+The NestJS API is a delivery mechanism.
+
+Responsibilities:
+	•	Controllers
+	•	DTOs
+	•	Request validation
+	•	Dependency injection
+	•	Adapter selection (prod vs test)
+
+Forbidden:
+	•	Business logic
+	•	Domain rules
+	•	Persistence logic
+
+NestJS modules are composition roots.
+
+⸻
+
+11. Dependency injection
+
+DI is configured only in apps.
+
+Example:
+
+provide: IPageViewRepository
+useClass: PageViewTypeOrmRepository
+
+Switching implementations (e.g. InMemory vs TypeORM) happens outside the core.
+
+⸻
+
+12. Testing strategy
+
+Domain tests
+	•	Test entities and value objects directly
+	•	No adapters
+	•	No frameworks
+
+Use case tests
+	•	Core + in-memory adapters
+	•	No NestJS
+
+API tests
+	•	NestJS TestingModule
+	•	Explicit adapter overrides
+
+⸻
+
+13. Testing helpers
+
+Testing helpers live in /testing.
+
+Contexts
+	•	One context per bounded context
+	•	Provide repositories + use cases
+
+Factories
+	•	Create valid domain objects
+	•	Express intent, not randomness
+
+Builders
+	•	Build complex aggregates fluently
+
+Fakes
+	•	Replace external systems (payments, email, etc.)
+
+⸻
+
+14. Read models and projections
+
+Not every query needs a domain entity.
+
+Rules:
+	•	Reports, analytics, dashboards may use DTOs or projections
+	•	No forced mapping into domain entities
+	•	Domain entities are for behavior, not reporting
+
+⸻
+
+15. Golden rules
+	•	Domain entities never depend on infrastructure
+	•	ORM entities never contain behavior
+	•	Repositories are anti-corruption layers
+	•	Adapters are replaceable
+	•	Apps wire everything together
+	•	Tests never leak into production code
+
+⸻
+
+16. Summary
+
+This architecture ensures:
+	•	Long-term maintainability
+	•	Framework independence
+	•	Safe refactoring
+	•	Clear ownership of responsibilities
+
+If a class violates a rule, it is in the wrong layer.
