Automatically generate and maintain accurate GitHub READMEs using codebase analysis and commit tracking.

• Dual-mode AI pipeline

  • Full generation: Analyze repository structure to create initial READMEs
  • Patch mode: Identify and update only changed sections via SHA-256 hashing

• AI-Powered Cleanup & Restructuring ✨

  • Manual cleanup trigger via repo card "Brush" icon to aggressively trim noise and merge duplicate sections
  • Automated restructuring for clarity using OpenRouter (Qwen 32B)
  • Live Activity Logging: Cleanup runs now stream real-time progress to the dashboard via Convex, providing the same visibility as standard generation runs.

• Resilient Logging & Recovery 🛡️

  • Log Recovery Service: Automatically detects and marks interrupted cleanup tasks as "failed" during server startup to prevent stale "ongoing" states.
  • Unified Audit Trail: MongoDB UserLog records for all cleanup actions (STARTED, SUCCESS, FAILED) with correlated logId for cross-system tracking.

• AI Engine

  • Primary: Google Gemini 1.5 Flash (1M token context)
  • Fallback: Groq with 3-key rotation for resilience
  • RAG-based code analysis for contextual understanding

• GitHub Integration

  • Webhook-based commit tracking
  • Secure OAuth with encrypted token storage
  • Automatic README commits to default branch with [skip ci] support

• Background Processing

  • BullMQ + Redis job queue for async operations
  • Rate-limit handling with automatic provider fallback
  • 7-day JWT session expiration

[GitHub Push] → Webhook → BullMQ Queue → AI Worker Tier → MongoDB
                                  ↘
                                   → Convex (real-time logs)

Key Components:

• Frontend: React 19 + Vite 7 SPA with Convex real-time subscriptions
• Backend: Express.js 5 API with MongoDB (Mongoose) persistence
• Worker Tier: BullMQ/Redis for async AI generation
• Real-time Layer: Convex for live log streaming
• AI Providers: Gemini (primary) with Groq fallback chain

1. Prerequisites

   • Node.js 20+
   • pnpm 10.20.x (via corepack enable)
   • MongoDB (local or Atlas)
   • Redis (local or Docker)
   • Convex project (https://convex.dev)
   • GitHub OAuth app (https://github.com/settings/developers)
   • 3+ API keys for Gemini and Groq

2. Clone & Setup

   git clone https://github.com/kaihere14/daemondoc.git
   cd daemondoc
   corepack enable
   pnpm install

3. Run Services

   pnpm dev:server    # Express API
   pnpm dev:client    # Vite SPA
   pnpm dev:seo       # Next.js landing page
   pnpm dev:convex    # Convex backend

Backend (server/.env):

MONGO_URI=
JWT_SECRET=
GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=
GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=
GITHUB_CALLBACK_URL=
GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET=
REDIS_HOST=
REDIS_PORT=
REDIS_PASSWORD=
CONVEX_SITE_URL=
GEMINI_API_KEY1=
GROQ_API_KEY1=
README_FILE_NAME=README.md

Frontend (client/.env):

VITE_BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:3000
VITE_CONVEX_URL=your_convex_deployment_url

SEO Landing (seo-client/.env):

NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL=https://daemondoc.online
BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:3000

1. Backend (Render)

• Root: Project root directory
• Build: corepack enable && pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --filter server
• Start: pnpm --filter server start
• Required env vars: All backend variables + public URLs

2. Frontend (Vercel)

• Root: client directory
• Build: pnpm run build
• Env var: VITE_BACKEND_URL=production_url

3. SEO Landing (Vercel)

• Root: seo-client directory
• Env vars:
  • NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL=https://daemondoc.online
  • BACKEND_URL=production_url

4. Redis (Free Tier Keepalive)
Set up a 5-minute cron job to ping:
https://your-app.onrender.com/health

• Webhook Failures:

  • Verify GITHUB_CALLBACK_URL matches OAuth app settings
  • Check webhook secret HMAC validation
  • Ensure backend is publicly accessible (use ngrok for local testing)

• AI Generation & Cleanup Errors:

  • 429 errors: Add more API keys or wait for rate limits
  • 401/403: Rotate API keys
  • Stuck "Ongoing" Logs: If the server restarts during a cleanup, the LogRecovery service will mark them as failed with the message "Cleanup interrupted because the backend restarted".

• Live Log Sync Issues:

  • Ensure CONVEX_SITE_URL is correctly configured in the server environment.
  • Check browser console for Convex connection errors if live updates are missing in the UI.

• Redis Connectivity:
  bash redis-cli ping # Should return PONG

• GitHub tokens encrypted with AES-256-GCM
• Webhook payloads verified with HMAC-SHA256
• JWT session expiration: 7 days
• Never commit .env files (included in .gitignore)
