# Cleanuparr - Claude AI Rules

## 🚨 Critical Guidelines

**READ THIS FIRST:**
1. ⚠️ **DO NOT break existing functionality** - All features are critical and must continue to work
2. ❓ **When in doubt, ASK** - Always clarify before implementing uncertain changes
3. 📋 **Follow existing patterns** - Study the codebase style before making changes
4. 🆕 **Ask before introducing new patterns** - Use current coding standards or get approval first

## Project Overview

Cleanuparr is a tool for automating the cleanup of unwanted or blocked files in Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Readarr, Whisparr and supported download clients like qBittorrent, Transmission, Deluge, µTorrent and rTorrent. It provides malware protection, automated cleanup, and queue management for *arr applications.

**Key Features:**
- Strike system for bad downloads
- Malware detection and blocking
- Automatic search triggering after removal
- Orphaned download cleanup with cross-seed support
- Support for multiple notification providers (Discord, etc.)

## Code Standards & Conventions

**IMPORTANT:** Always study existing code in the relevant area before making changes. Match the existing style exactly.

### Backend (C#)
- Follow [Microsoft C# Coding Conventions](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp/fundamentals/coding-style/coding-conventions)
- Use nullable reference types (`<Nullable>enable</Nullable>`)
- Add XML documentation comments for public APIs
- Write unit tests for business logic
- Use meaningful names - avoid abbreviations unless widely understood
- Keep services focused - single responsibility principle
- **Study existing service implementations before creating new ones**

### Frontend (TypeScript/Angular)
- Follow [Angular Style Guide](https://angular.io/guide/styleguide)
- Use TypeScript strict mode
- All components must be **standalone** (no NgModules) with **ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush**
- Use `input()` / `output()` function APIs (not `@Input()` / `@Output()` decorators)
- Use Angular **signals** for reactive state (`signal()`, `computed()`, `effect()`)
- Follow the 3-layer SCSS design system (`_variables` → `_tokens` → `_themes`) for styling
- Component naming: `{feature}.component.ts`
- Service naming: `{feature}.service.ts`
- **Look at similar existing components before creating new ones**

### Testing
- Write unit tests for new features and bug fixes
- Use descriptive test names that explain what is being tested
- Backend: xUnit or NUnit conventions
- Frontend: Jasmine/Karma
- **Test that existing functionality still works after changes**

### Git Commit Messages
- Use clear, descriptive messages in imperative mood
- Examples: "Add Discord notification support", "Fix memory leak in download client polling"
- Reference issue numbers when applicable: "Fix #123: Handle null response from Radarr API"

### Discovering Issues
If you encounter potential gotchas, common mistakes, or areas that need special attention during development:
- **Flag them to the maintainer immediately**
- Document them if confirmed
- Consider if they should be added to this guide

## Database Migrations

Cleanuparr uses two separate database contexts:
- **DataContext**: Main application data
- **EventsContext**: Event logging and audit trail

### Creating Migrations
From the `code` directory:

```bash
# Data migrations
make migrate-data name=YourMigrationName

# Events migrations
make migrate-events name=YourMigrationName
```

Example:
```bash
make migrate-data name=AddDownloadClientConfig
make migrate-events name=AddStrikeEvents
```

## Working with Claude - IMPORTANT

### Core Principles
1. **When in doubt, ASK** - Don't assume, clarify with the maintainer first
2. **Don't break existing functionality** - Everything is important and needs to work
3. **Follow existing coding style** - Study the codebase patterns before making changes
4. **Use current coding standards** - If you want to introduce something new, ask first

### When Modifying Code
- **ALWAYS read existing files before suggesting changes**
- Understand the current architecture and patterns
- Prefer editing existing files over creating new ones
- Follow the established conventions in the codebase exactly
- Test changes locally when possible
- **If you're unsure about an approach, ask before implementing**

### When Adding Features
- Review similar existing features first to understand patterns
- Maintain consistency with existing UI/UX patterns
- Update both backend and frontend together
- Add/update documentation
- Consider backwards compatibility
- **Ask about architectural decisions before implementing new patterns**

### When Fixing Bugs
- Understand the root cause before proposing a fix
- **Be careful not to break other functionality** - test related areas
- Add tests to prevent regression
- Update relevant documentation if behavior changes
- Consider if other parts of the codebase might have similar issues
- **Flag any potential gotchas or issues you discover**

## Notes

- The project uses **Clean Architecture** - respect layer boundaries
- Database migrations require both contexts - don't forget EventsContext
- Frontend uses a **custom glassmorphism design system** - don't introduce external UI frameworks (no PrimeNG, Material, etc.)
- All frontend components are **standalone** with **OnPush** change detection
- All downloads from *arr apps are processed through a **strike system**
- The malware blocker is a critical security feature - changes require careful testing
- Cross-seed integration allows keeping torrents that are actively seeding
- Real-time updates use **SignalR** - maintain websocket patterns when adding features
