mathias 367c28f0e9 docs: expand README as repo orientation and guardrail index
Points anyone (or any agent) landing cold at the vision, decisions, architecture,
data model, and BDD feature specs; states the Clean Architecture / TDD-BDD / TBD
approach and the homelab conventions reused. Notes the repo is pre-code and the
docs are the version-controlled design intent.

# tapir
Watches a user's YouTube/Vimeo subscriptions and, when a subscribed channel posts a new
video, summarizes it into highlights and takeaways using a **local-first** AI stack with an
optional, per-user **BYO-AI** fallback. **Standalone-first**; feeding a personal knowledge
base ("brain") is one optional sink, not the reason Tapir exists. Written in Go.
## Status
Pre-code. The repository currently holds the **guardrail documentation** — vision, decisions,
architecture, data model, and behavior specs — committed before implementation so the design
intent is version-controlled and the build has something to be checked against.
## Read these first (the guardrails)
| Doc | What it is |
|-----|-----------|
| [`VISION.md`](VISION.md) | Product vision, principles, and the **staged Definition of Success**. Stage 0 ("useful to me") is the gate before any multi-user work. |
| [`DECISIONS.md`](DECISIONS.md) | Architecture Decision Records (append-only). Why Go, why no Supabase, standalone-first, captions-first, etc. |
| [`docs/architecture/architecture.md`](docs/architecture/architecture.md) | C4 context + container diagrams, key sequence diagrams, and the Clean Architecture layering (Mermaid). |
| [`docs/data-model.md`](docs/data-model.md) | Entities and the per-user isolation model (Stage 0 / Stage 1 scope). |
| [`docs/use-cases/`](docs/use-cases/) | **Gherkin `.feature` files** — the BDD behavior spec that seeds the test suite. |
## Approach
- **Clean Architecture / ports & adapters.** A provider- and sink-agnostic engine depends only
on interfaces (`VideoSource`, `Summarizer`, `Sink`, `SecretStore`). YouTube, Vimeo, the AI
router, the user store, and the brain sink are adapters. "Standalone vs homelab" is a wiring
choice, not two codebases.
- **TDD/BDD.** The `.feature` files are the living behavior spec; the use-case core is tested
through fake adapters. Behavior is specified as executable scenarios, not prose that drifts.
- **Trunk-Based Development.** Commit directly to `main`, one logical change per commit, every
commit deployable (see ADR-009). CI is the quality gate.
## Conventions
Reuses homelab conventions: Go, Dex for identity, ESO + 1Password for secrets, Postgres for
persistence. No new auth or secrets system (ADR-002).
## Next
First implementation step: scaffold the Go service (engine + interfaces + the copied `llm`
package), captions-first, with the store and brain sink adapters — decomposable into
independent units suitable for a Claude Code swarm. Tracked as the first build issue.
