Stage 2 was php:8.3-apache (Debian), which compiles PHP from source with --with-apxs2 for mod_php -- that base image alone is 719MB of our 735MB, before any app code. Replaced with alpine:3.24 + apk's own prebuilt php83/php83-apache2/apache2 packages: same architecture (one process, mod_php, .htaccess-driven rewriting), no fpm/nginx rewrite needed. - docker/apache.conf: rewritten for Alpine's apache2 (mod_rewrite ships but isn't loaded by default; a different default document root/log paths). Logs redirected to stdout/stderr so `docker logs` still shows them -- Alpine's own defaults write to a real file under ServerRoot, unlike the official Debian image's symlinked paths. - docker/entrypoint.sh: su-exec instead of su -- BusyBox's su doesn't take the same -c/user argument order as the GNU one the previous entrypoint relied on. Also moved earlier in the Dockerfile (with the other rarely-changing setup, before COPY . .) so it no longer re-runs on every build for a file that essentially never changes. - Composer's binary is still borrowed from the official composer:2 image via multi-stage COPY, not apk's own `composer` package, which turned out to pull in an entire second PHP interpreter (php85) as a dependency just to run itself. - ext-iconv needed adding explicitly (symfony/polyfill-mbstring depends on it; the official Debian image bundles it by default, apk doesn't). Verified against the real compose stack, not just that it builds: apk install; composer install; migrations on startup; PHPUnit 88/88 (runs on the host, but confirms nothing else broke); and by hand, all through the actual container -- health check, SPA fallback for unknown routes, static assets served directly, the API's 401 guard, and a full magic-link -> verify -> JWT -> authenticated project create/list round trip via the real Mailpit catcher.

Architecture
A REST API in PHP 8 (Slim 4) over a single SQLite file, plus a Vue 3 + TypeScript PWA frontend. Auth is a bearer JWT, obtained via a magic link or a passkey (see docs/api.md) — there's no session store or cookie.

migrations/*.sql Schema, applied by bin/migrate.php
Dockerfile Multi-stage: Node frontend build + PHP 8.3/Apache runtime
(Alpine -- apk's own php83/apache2 packages, not a
from-source compile; ~90MB image)
docker-compose.yml Local stack: app (SPA + API) + Mailpit
docker/ Apache vhost (mod_rewrite, document root) + entrypoint
(runs pending migrations, then hands off to Apache)
web/ Vue 3 + TypeScript + Vite PWA frontend (dev on the host)
A ProjectScopedController base class centralizes "look up a project owned
by the caller, or 404" for the controllers that need it (Project, Card,
CardStatus). Every table a request can reach is scoped to the
authenticated user one way or another — directly (owner_id/user_id) or
via a project that is.
Frontend
The Vue/TypeScript PWA lives in web/ and is a separate concern with its own conventions (routing, state, styling, drag-and-drop). See web/README.md for all of that — this document only covers the backend.
Database
One SQLite file, migrated forward-only by bin/migrate.php from
migrations/*.sql (each applied file is recorded in a schema_migrations
table, so re-running is safe). See docs/setup.md for how to run
migrations, and docs/history.md for how the schema and the
rest of the app got here.
