Directory Reorganization - 2025-10-06

Summary​

Completed major project reorganization to improve structure, clarity, and discoverability.

Changes Made​

1. Created New Directories​

deployment/ - All deployment-related files

deployment/
├── Dockerfile              # Multi-stage production build
├── docker-compose.yml      # Full stack deployment
├── nginx.conf              # NGINX load balancer config
├── .dockerignore           # Build optimization
└── README.md               # Deployment guide

services/ - Backend services

services/
├── mcp-lmstudio/          # LM Studio MCP Server
│   ├── index.js
│   ├── package.json
│   └── README.md
└── README.md              # Services documentation

2. Moved Files​

Deployment Files → deployment/:

  • Dockerfile
  • docker-compose.yml
  • nginx.conf
  • .dockerignore

Documentation Files:

  • deployment.md → docs/guides/deployment.md
  • MVP_status.md → docs/status-reports/MVP_status.md

Session Files → docs/sessions/:

  • sessions/2025-10-06_llm-migration/ → docs/sessions/2025-10-06_llm-migration/
  • sessions/templates/ → docs/sessions/templates/
  • sessions/README.md → docs/sessions/readme.md.old

Backend Services → services/:

  • mcp-lmstudio/ → services/mcp-lmstudio/

3. Updated References​

.mcp.json:

"args": [
  "/workspace/PROJECTS/t2/services/mcp-lmstudio/index.js"  // Updated path
]

.gitignore:

# Services
services/*/node_modules/  # Changed from mcp-lmstudio/node_modules/

deployment/docker-compose.yml:

build:
  context: ..                      # Parent directory
  dockerfile: deployment/Dockerfile # Relative path

README.md:

  • Updated project structure diagram
  • Reflects new deployment/ and services/ directories

4. Deleted Directories​

  • sessions/ - Consolidated into docs/sessions/

MCP Server Path​

$ cat .mcp.json | grep args
"args": [
  "/workspace/PROJECTS/t2/services/mcp-lmstudio/index.js"
]

✅ All paths verified and working

Next Steps​

Future additions will go to:

  • deployment/kubernetes/ - Kubernetes configs
  • deployment/terraform/ - Infrastructure as code
  • services/mcp-gateway/ - Unified MCP gateway (ADR-019)
  • services/websocket-server/ - WebSocket service (ADR-017)
  • services/fdb-client/ - FoundationDB client
  • services/auth-service/ - Authentication (ADR-021)
  • services/audit-logger/ - Audit logging (ADR-022)

Impact​

No breaking changes - All functionality remains intact:

  • ✅ theia IDE still running on port 3000
  • ✅ MCP server paths updated
  • ✅ Docker builds still work (context updated)
  • ✅ All tests still pass
  • ✅ Documentation still accessible

Improved developer experience:

  • Faster navigation
  • Clearer structure
  • Professional organization
  • Better onboarding for new contributors
