# Architecture
## Executive decision (§1)
EPPP is implemented as a **TypeScript modular monolith**: Node.js 24 LTS, Fastify 5, PostgreSQL 18 (sole canonical DB), React 19 (server-rendered public components + Vite admin), and Docker Compose as the primary runtime model.
The first visible release is intentionally small: editable site identity, editable Home page, ordered list of published posts, individual post pages, administration interface, and the **Amber** theme.
**Central product rule:** EPPP v0.1 is small because optional features are absent, not because extensibility is absent.
From the first release the codebase has explicit versioned boundaries for: content types, content blocks, page sections, themes, extensions, extension settings, navigation, visitor preferences, database migrations, media storage, background jobs, events, and rendering.
EPPP is **not** a microservice system, a Next.js app, a WordPress clone, or a browser-installable arbitrary-code marketplace.
## Architecture style (§4)
**Modular monolith.** One application image contains the public server, admin API, rendering pipeline, extension runtime, core services, built admin assets and first-party extensions. An optional worker uses the same image with a different command (`eppp serve` / `eppp worker`).

**Why not microservices:** no v1 requirement justifies distributed transactions, service discovery, brokers, multi-service deployment, or cross-service schema changes. Module boundaries allow future extraction on evidence.
## Repository & dependency architecture (§9)
```
eppp/
apps/server · apps/admin
packages/contracts · core · extension-sdk · database-postgres · rendering-react · ui-core · config · testing
extensions/core-blog · theme-amber
migrations/ · tooling/ · docs/{adr, extension-development, operations}
Dockerfile · compose.yml · compose.edge.yml · .env.example · pnpm-workspace.yaml · pnpm-lock.yaml · package.json · tsconfig.base.json
```
### Dependency direction (§9.1)
Allowed:
- `apps/server -> core/application -> contracts`
- `extensions/* -> extension-sdk -> contracts`
- `database-postgres -> core ports -> Kysely/pg`
Forbidden:
- `core -> theme-amber`, `core -> core-blog`, `core -> reading`
- `theme-amber -> database internals`
- extension A → extension B internals
- public browser code → server-only package
CI enforces these via import/dependency architecture tests (FIT-001, FIT-010, FIT-011).
## Core ownership (§11)
**Core owns:** application lifecycle; site identity/configuration; authentication; content persistence primitives; revisions; page composition; navigation; extension discovery/activation/settings; theme resolution; content-type/block/section/theme registries; visitor preferences; media storage port; job registry; event bus; migration coordinator; public rendering pipeline; admin API infrastructure; health/readiness; error/observability conventions; hardened outbound fetch (v1.1, §29-A.4); page metadata rendering (v1.1, §34-A).
**Core does not own** (extensions own these): Reading/bookmarks, bookmark seams/half-life, RSS, Amber-specific CSS, projects/running-list, comments, analytics, newsletter integrations, link-health.
## Public rendering (§19)
Public pages are server-rendered first. Pipeline: Fastify route → SiteResolver → VisitorPreferenceResolver → ContentService → PageComposition + BlockRegistry → ThemeResolver → React DOM server renderer → HTML.
**Zero-JavaScript baseline (§19.1):** Home, article, navigation, metadata and footer work with JS disabled. React is a server-rendering detail; the site is not hydrated. Core public Home/article target: **0 bytes** EPPP JavaScript.
**Client islands (§19.2):** only truly interactive features register islands (theme selector, Reading filters, graph, comments, gallery), each with an activation mode (`load`/`idle`/`visible`/`interaction`).
## Administration (§20)
React client app built with Vite, served by the same image. `/admin/*` → `/api/admin/v1/*`. Initial IA: Dashboard, Content→Posts, Home, Navigation, Appearance (Active theme, Theme settings), Extensions, Settings→Site.
## v0.1 public surface (§42)
```
GET / · GET /posts/:slug · GET /assets/* · GET /media/*
GET /health/live · GET /health/ready · GET /admin/*
```
Admin API lives under `/api/admin/v1/*`. Initial Home composition: `core.site-intro` + `core.post-list`; post list defaults to published only, newest first, deterministic ordering, configurable limit.
