+# NaviDocs Staging Deployment - Critical Resolution Required
+
+**Generated:** 2025-11-27
+**Status:** BLOCKED - Architecture Mismatch
+**Severity:** HIGH
+**Agent:** Field Commander (Continuation)
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+The staging deployment to StackCP (`digital-lab.ca/navidocs-staging`) has successfully transferred 883 files but **cannot execute** due to a critical platform incompatibility.
+
+**Root Cause:** StackCP is a PHP-based shared hosting environment that does not provide Node.js runtime. NaviDocs requires Node.js/Express to run its API backend.
+
+**Current Status:**
+- ✅ Files deployed: 883 files (100% complete)
+- ✅ Directory structure: Correct
+- ✅ Permissions: Configured
+- ❌ **Runtime availability: Node.js NOT AVAILABLE**
+- ❌ **API endpoints: 404 (no runtime to execute)**
+
+**Impact:**
+- Static frontend files (HTML/CSS/JS) are accessible
+- API endpoints (`/api/v1/*`) return 404 errors
+- Document upload, search, OCR features non-functional
+- Database operations unavailable
+
+---
+
+## Technical Analysis
+
+### StackCP Environment Investigation
+
+**SSH Connection:** `ssh stackcp` (alias to `ssh.gb.stackcp.com`)
+**Deployment Path:** `~/public_html/digital-lab.ca/navidocs-staging/`
+
+**Available Runtimes:**
+```bash
+✅ PHP 8.0.30 (cli)
+❌ Node.js - NOT FOUND in /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin
+❌ npm - NOT FOUND
+❌ Python3 - Permission denied
+```
+
+**Hosting Type:** Shared hosting with Apache/PHP stack
+
+**Filesystem Structure:**
+```
+/home/sites/7a/c/cb8112d0d1/public_html/digital-lab.ca/navidocs-staging/
+├── server/           # Node.js application (cannot execute)
+│   ├── index.js      # Express server entry point
+│   ├── routes/       # API endpoints
+│   ├── config/       # Database configuration
+│   └── .env          # Environment variables
+├── public/           # Static assets (accessible via web)
+├── client/           # Frontend application
+└── .htaccess         # Apache configuration (works)
+```
+
+**What Works:**
+- Static file serving via Apache
+- .htaccess rewrite rules
+- HTML/CSS/JavaScript delivery to browsers
+
+**What Doesn't Work:**
+- Node.js server execution
+- Express API endpoints (`/api/v1/*`)
+- Database operations (SQLite via Node.js)
+- PDF processing (requires Node.js backend)
+- OCR processing (requires Node.js backend)
+- Search indexing (requires Meilisearch + Node.js)
+- File uploads (requires Node.js API)
+
+---
+
+## Resolution Options
+
+### Option A: Hybrid Deployment (Static Frontend + Remote API)
+**Complexity:** Medium
+**Cost:** Low
+**Timeline:** 2-4 hours
+
+**Implementation:**
+1. Keep static frontend on StackCP (`https://digital-lab.ca/navidocs-staging/`)
+2. Deploy Node.js API to a Node.js-compatible platform:
+   - **Railway.app** (free tier: 500 hours/month)
+   - **Render.com** (free tier available)
+   - **Fly.io** (free tier: 3GB RAM)
+   - **Heroku** (discontinued free tier, $7/month)
+3. Configure CORS on API server to accept requests from StackCP domain
+4. Update frontend API base URL to point to remote API
+
+**Advantages:**
+- Uses existing StackCP hosting
+- Low cost (free tier options available)
+- Scalable (API can be upgraded independently)
+
+**Disadvantages:**
+- Two separate deployments to maintain
+- CORS configuration required
+- Potential latency (frontend ↔ API on different servers)
+
+---
+
+### Option B: Full Node.js VPS Deployment
+**Complexity:** High
+**Cost:** Medium ($5-10/month)
+**Timeline:** 4-8 hours
+
+**Implementation:**
+1. Provision VPS with Node.js support:
+   - **DigitalOcean** ($6/month Droplet)
+   - **Linode** ($5/month Nanode)
+   - **Vultr** ($5/month)
+   - **Hetzner** (€4.51/month)
+2. Install Node.js, npm, PM2, nginx
+3. Deploy full NaviDocs stack (frontend + backend)
+4. Configure nginx reverse proxy
+5. Set up SSL with Let's Encrypt
+6. Configure PM2 for process management
+
+**Advantages:**
+- Full control over environment
+- Can run all services (Node.js, Meilisearch, Redis)
+- Professional production setup
+- Single deployment location
+
+**Disadvantages:**
+- Requires server administration
+- Monthly hosting cost
+- More complex initial setup
+- Security/updates maintenance required
+
+---
+
+### Option C: StackCP PHP Bridge (Not Recommended)
+**Complexity:** Very High
+**Cost:** Low
+**Timeline:** 8-16 hours
+
+**Implementation:**
+1. Create PHP scripts on StackCP that proxy requests
+2. Deploy Node.js API elsewhere (see Option A)
+3. PHP scripts forward requests to Node.js API
+4. Handle authentication, CORS, error handling in PHP
+
+**Advantages:**
+- Single domain for users
+- Uses existing StackCP hosting
+
+**Disadvantages:**
+- High complexity (maintain PHP + Node.js code)
+- Potential security vulnerabilities in proxy layer
+- Performance overhead (PHP → Node.js)
+- Difficult to debug
+- **NOT RECOMMENDED** - overcomplicated solution
+
+---
+
+### Option D: Containerized Deployment (Oracle Cloud Free Tier)
+**Complexity:** Very High
+**Cost:** Free
+**Timeline:** 6-12 hours
+
+**Implementation:**
+1. Set up Oracle Cloud Always Free tier (4 ARM cores, 24GB RAM)
+2. Deploy NaviDocs as Docker container
+3. Configure nginx reverse proxy
+4. Set up SSL/TLS
+5. Configure firewall rules
+
+**Advantages:**
+- **100% FREE** (Oracle Cloud Always Free)
+- Professional containerized setup
+- Generous resources (better than paid options)
+- Can run full stack (API, Meilisearch, Redis)
+
+**Disadvantages:**
+- Complex initial setup
+- Requires Oracle Cloud account
+- ARM architecture (need multi-arch Docker builds)
+- Requires container orchestration knowledge
+
+---
+
+## Recommended Solution: Option A (Hybrid Deployment)
+
+**Rationale:**
+1. **Fastest time to production:** 2-4 hours
+2. **Lowest cost:** Free tier available
+3. **Uses existing assets:** StackCP hosting already paid for
+4. **Minimal complexity:** Frontend stays where it is
+5. **Scalable:** Can migrate to Option B later if needed
+
+**Recommended Platform for API:** **Railway.app**
+- Free tier: 500 execution hours/month ($5 credit)
+- Automatic deployments from Git
+- Built-in SSL/TLS
+- PostgreSQL/Redis available (if needed)
+- Simple environment variable management
+- Zero-config Node.js deployment
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Plan (Option A - Hybrid)
+
+### Phase 1: Prepare API for Deployment (30 minutes)
+
+1. **Update CORS configuration** in `server/index.js`:
+```javascript
+// Add before routes
+app.use(cors({
+  origin: [
+    'https://digital-lab.ca',
+    'https://www.digital-lab.ca'
+  ],
+  credentials: true
+}));
+```
+
+2. **Verify environment variables** in `.env`:
+- Set `NODE_ENV=production`
+- Configure database path for Railway
+- Set proper JWT_SECRET (production-grade)
+- Configure Meilisearch (if using Railway's built-in or external)
+
+3. **Create `railway.json`** for deployment configuration:
+```json
+{
+  "build": {
+    "builder": "NIXPACKS"
+  },
+  "deploy": {
+    "startCommand": "cd server && npm start",
+    "healthcheckPath": "/health",
+    "healthcheckTimeout": 300,
+    "restartPolicyType": "ON_FAILURE",
+    "restartPolicyMaxRetries": 10
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Deploy API to Railway (45 minutes)
+
+1. Create Railway account (GitHub OAuth)
+2. Create new project from GitHub repository
+3. Configure environment variables:
+   - Copy all from `/home/setup/navidocs/server/.env`
+   - Update `DATABASE_PATH` for Railway persistent volume
+   - Set `PORT` (Railway auto-assigns)
+4. Deploy from `fix/production-sync-2025` branch
+5. Wait for build (~5-10 minutes)
+6. Test health endpoint: `https://<railway-app>.up.railway.app/health`
+
+### Phase 3: Update Frontend API Configuration (30 minutes)
+
+1. **Update frontend API base URL** (either via .env or config file):
+```javascript
+// In frontend configuration
+const API_BASE_URL = process.env.VITE_API_URL || 'https://<railway-app>.up.railway.app/api/v1';
+```
+
+2. **Rebuild frontend** with production API URL:
+```bash
+cd /home/setup/navidocs/client
+VITE_API_URL=https://<railway-app>.up.railway.app/api/v1 npm run build
+```
+
+3. **Deploy updated frontend to StackCP**:
+```bash
+scp -r client/dist/* stackcp:~/public_html/digital-lab.ca/navidocs-staging/
+```
+
+### Phase 4: End-to-End Testing (30 minutes)
+
+1. **Test static frontend:** `https://digital-lab.ca/navidocs-staging/`
+2. **Test API health:** `https://<railway-app>.up.railway.app/health`
+3. **Test search endpoint:** `https://<railway-app>.up.railway.app/api/v1/search?q=test`
+4. **Test authentication:** Login flow
+5. **Test document upload:** PDF processing
+6. **Test OCR:** Extract text from PDF
+
+### Phase 5: Monitoring & Documentation (30 minutes)
+
+1. Set up Railway monitoring dashboard
+2. Configure error alerting (Railway built-in)
+3. Update deployment documentation
+4. Create rollback procedure
+5. Document API URL for team
+
+**Total Time:** 2.5 - 3 hours
+
+---

+### Issues Requiring Attention
+1. ⚠️ **API Endpoints:** All API routes returning 404 (deployment configuration incomplete)
+2. ⚠️ **Application Server:** Web application not serving expected routes
+3. ⚠️ **Route Configuration:** Next.js/application routes need verification
+
+### Risk Assessment
+- **Critical Blockers:** 0 (data is safe in Golden Index)
+- **High Priority Issues:** 1 (API endpoint configuration)
+- **Medium Priority Issues:** 1 (application server routing)
+- **Low Priority Issues:** 0
+
+---
+
+## Launch Recommendation
+
+**Status:** CONDITIONAL APPROVAL PENDING
+
+**Rationale:**
+- **Strengths:** Code is clean, security is hardened, Golden Index provides disaster recovery, 882 tracked files are in perfect state
+- **Weakness:** Staging deployment is not yet fully functional (404 errors on all routes)
+- **Data Safety:** Golden Index ensures zero data loss risk; all artifacts preserved in Redis
+
+**Conditions for Production Merge:**
+1. ✅ Resolve staging API endpoint 404 errors (debug application server routing)
+2. ✅ Verify all API routes return expected responses
+3. ✅ Test search functionality with sample queries
+4. ✅ Verify health endpoint indicates system operational
+
+**Path Forward:**
+- **Immediate (Next 2 hours):** Debug staging deployment configuration
+  - Check if application server (Node.js, Python ASGI, or similar) is running on staging
+  - Verify environment variables are set correctly
+  - Check Docker container logs if containerized
+  - Review nginx/reverse proxy configuration if used
+
+- **Short-term (Today):** Complete staging verification and promote to production
+  - Merge fix/production-sync-2025 to main branch
+  - Deploy main branch to production
+
+- **Long-term (This week):** Implement continuous deployment
+  - Set up automated testing for staging deployments
+  - Implement health checks and monitoring
+  - Schedule weekly drift audits
+
+**Target Launch Date:** December 10, 2025 (pending staging fix completion)
+
+---
