ggq-admin eaf9fae275 docs: Add complete NaviDocs handover documentation and StackCP analysis
This commit finalizes the NaviDocs MVP documentation with comprehensive handover materials.

## Documentation Added:

1. **NAVIDOCS_HANDOVER.md** - Complete project handover (65% MVP complete)
   - Executive summary and current status
   - Repository structure and component details
   - Testing results and known issues
   - Deployment options (StackCP vs VPS)
   - Next steps and risk assessment
   - Success metrics and recommendations

2. **StackCP Analysis Documents**:

## Current State Summary:

**Completed** (65% MVP):
-  Database schema (13 tables, fully normalized)
-  OCR pipeline (3 options: Tesseract 85%, Google Drive, Google Vision)
-  Upload endpoint with background processing
-  StackCP deployment fully evaluated
-  Local development environment operational

**Pending** (35% to MVP):
- ⚠️ Meilisearch authentication (15-min fix)

Key Findings Summary

Critical Discovery

Only /tmp has executable permissions on StackCP shared hosting

  • Home directory is noexec (cannot run binaries or compile native modules)
  • Application code MUST be in /tmp/navidocs/
  • Data (database, uploads) MUST be in ~/navidocs/
  • This fundamentally breaks standard deployment assumptions

Architectural Blockers

  1. Repository structure: Assumes single location for code + data
  2. Native modules: Cannot compile in home directory
  3. Process management: PM2/systemd assumptions may not work
  4. File persistence: /tmp may be cleared on reboot
  5. Development workflow: npm must be executed via wrapper

Required Changes

  1. Code (2-3 days): Path configuration, environment detection
  2. Operations (1-2 days): Checkpoint scripts, health checks, backups
  3. Documentation (1-2 days): Rewrite deployment guides
  4. Testing (1 day): StackCP-specific scenarios

Total: 5-7 days for full StackCP adaptation

Alternatives

  1. VPS Deployment (1 day): Standard environment, $5-6/month
  2. Container Platform (1 day): Modern deployment, $5-10/month
  3. Hybrid Approach (3-4 days): Support both StackCP and standard

Cost-Benefit Analysis

StackCP Adaptation

  • Time: 5-7 days development
  • Cost: $0 new (using existing hosting)
  • Operational overhead: Ongoing custom scripts
  • Technical debt: Medium-High (StackCP-specific code)
  • Security risk: Medium (code exposure in /tmp)

VPS Alternative

  • Time: 1 day development
  • Cost: $6/month ($72/year)
  • Operational overhead: Standard (PM2, systemd)
  • Technical debt: Low (industry standard)
  • Security risk: Low (standard practices)

Savings with VPS: $2,400-4,100 in Year 1 (considering developer time)


Step 1: Answer Key Questions (5 minutes)

Use /home/setup/navidocs/STACKCP_QUICK_REFERENCE.md section "Key Questions"

Step 2: Evaluate Risks (10 minutes)

Review security and operational risks in Debate Brief

Step 3: Choose Path (5 minutes)

  • Path A: Full StackCP (only if hard requirement + acceptable risks)
  • Path B: Hybrid (if learning value + time available)
  • Path C: VPS (default recommendation)

Step 4: Implement (1-7 days)

Follow implementation plan in chosen path
