The last React went with this. /admin and /admin/catering are pages of forms; every write is a POST and
a redirect back, so the back button and reload do what they look like they do, a double-tap cannot
repeat an upload, and there is no client-side state to lose — a reload is always the truth. The
/api/admin/** endpoints went too: they existed for the React screen, and their logic now lives in
Catalogue (extracted from the two deleted JSON controllers) and CateringMenu, which the pages call.
THE TABLE EDITOR IS THE INTERESTING PART, because a catering table cannot be edited a field at a time
— a column heading, its price and the entries beneath it only mean anything together. One form holds
the whole table and every button submits it; `name="do"` says which was pressed and its value carries
the position (`remove-column:2`). "Add a column" therefore arrives with every cell the editor has
typed, adds the column to what arrived plus an empty entry on every line, and re-renders. Nothing
typed is lost, and only Save writes — so a half-built table with a blank heading never reaches the
live page. A failed save comes back the same way, with the work still in the form and the reason above
it; a redirect would throw the work away and leave them guessing which cell the message was about.
Spring binds `lines[2].values[1]` into the right cell, which flat repeated parameters could not
promise.
Reordering moved to the server, where it always belonged: the browser used to compute the new order
and send the whole list back, and now "move this up" arrives as an action. Same for arranging photos —
one endpoint takes the key and -1/1/0 (earlier, later, remove), because those three buttons are the
same edit.
frontend/ became styles/: node, Tailwind and nothing else. It exists because Tailwind needs a
compiler and the alternative is a hand-written stylesheet; there is no bundler and no framework. The
admin's controls are @utility classes (v4 will only let you @apply a registered utility, and only a
utility can take the `file:` variant the photo pickers use) — the same buttons the React screen had,
from the same class strings it composed. Also fixed .gitignore, which still named frontend/: with
styles/ unlisted, `git add -A` staged 1,626 files of node_modules.
Verified against a running container, not only in tests: pressing "+ Column" returns the draft with an
unsaved cell intact, a new column and a matching new entry on the line, "Not saved yet" — and the live
page unchanged; Save then writes both columns with the price parsed from "48". Renaming and moving an
item land on the products page. Deleting a category that is in use is refused with the sentence naming
it. Removing the only photo of an item is refused, and that button is already disabled in the page.
51 tests (10 new): the form binding, the flash on success and on refusal, a structural button writing
nothing, and the whole admin surface closed to anonymous visitors. PlatformContractTest's routing
assertion now says what is true — an unknown path 404s, and so does /admin when no identity provider
is configured, because AdminController only exists under OIDC.

Replaces the Next.js app. Same site, same look; the parts that were decisions rather
than markup now live in Java.
- catalogue, curated order, category filter and image URLs move from a TypeScript array
into Postgres behind /api/products and /api/categories
- contact form uses the shared platform-starter-contact: validate, RECORD, send, then
fan out to n8n. Recording first means a relay outage costs a notification, not an enquiry
- PageMetaController rewrites title/description/OG per route, replacing what Next's SSR
gave crawlers and link-preview scrapers
- 50MB of photos leave the repo for the MinIO bucket, re-encoded to webp (14MB) with EXIF
(including phone GPS) stripped
- fixes a catalogue typo: 'Strawberry Pie' was category 'Pies', which no filter matched, so
it was unreachable unless browsing All

- New sage/cream palette and stacked logo lockup (The Vine over Coffeehouse
+ Bakery) driven by currentColor; logo SVGs now colorable
- Reuse the logo component for the hero and section marks
- Rewrite site copy: real founding (Morissa Bennett, 2024), real story from
the product range, remove invented claims and AI phrasing
- Contact form now sends over SMTP via /api/contact (nodemailer) with real
send/error states, server-side validation, and reply-to the customer;
delivers to CONTACT_TO. Add .env.example and a test-email script
- Fix mobile: unmount the off-screen menu (killed sideways scroll), cap logo
width, responsive heroes and type
- Remove Firebase (config, tracked build output, placeholder pages, nix
firebase-tools) now that hosting has moved
- Delete dead code: LoyaltyCardForm, ProductModal, LoadingSpinner, card-flip
CSS, unused Playfair font
- Serve dev/start on port 2024
