Joakim ae9ae7e442 docs: update all documentation for unified binary architecture
📚 **Complete Documentation Overhaul**

**Updated Files:**
 **README.md** - Updated commands, configuration, and workflow
 **COMMANDS.md** - New comprehensive command reference
 **INTEGRATION-SUMMARY.md** - Updated architecture overview
 **insertr-server/README.md** - Redirect to unified binary docs

**Key Documentation Changes:**

🔧 **Unified Binary Commands:**
- Updated all examples to use `./insertr enhance` and `./insertr serve`
- Removed references to separate CLI/server binaries
- Added comprehensive configuration documentation

⚙️ **Configuration Section:**
- Added YAML configuration examples (`insertr.yaml`)
- Documented environment variables (`INSERTR_*`)
- Explained configuration precedence (CLI → env → YAML → defaults)

📖 **Command Reference (COMMANDS.md):**
- Complete reference for all commands and flags
- Usage patterns for development and production
- API endpoint documentation
- Error handling and debugging guides
- CI/CD integration examples

🏗️ **Architecture Updates:**
- Updated development workflow instructions
- Fixed CLI → Binary terminology
- Updated hot reload and build process documentation

**Migration Notes:**
- All functionality preserved in unified binary
- Simplified development workflow with `just dev`
- Single executable for all operations

# Unified Binary Architecture Complete ✅
## 🎯 **What Was Accomplished**
Successfully refactored **insertr-cli** and **insertr-server** into a **unified `insertr` binary**, creating a **simpler, more maintainable architecture** while preserving all functionality.
## 🚀 **Unified Binary Experience**
### **Single Binary Commands**
```bash
./insertr enhance # 🔨 Build-time content injection
./insertr serve # 🔌 Runtime API server
./insertr --help # 📖 Complete command reference
```
### **Simplified Development**
```bash
just dev # 🔥 Full-stack development (PRIMARY)
just serve # API server only (development)
just enhance # Build-time enhancement only
```
### **Enhanced Build Pipeline**
```bash
just build # Now builds: Library + Unified Binary (single executable)
npm run build # Same - builds complete stack via scripts/build.js
```
### **Smart Configuration**
- **YAML Configuration**: `insertr.yaml` with smart defaults
- **Environment Variables**: `INSERTR_*` prefix for all settings
- **CLI Flag Precedence**: Command-line flags override config and env vars
- **Database Flexibility**: SQLite for development, PostgreSQL for production
## 📋 **Technical Architecture Changes**
### **1. Unified Command Structure**
- **Single Binary**: `insertr` handles both enhance and serve operations
- **Cobra CLI**: Professional command structure with subcommands
- **Viper Configuration**: YAML + environment + CLI flag precedence
- **Shared Database Layer**: Single source of truth for content models
### **2. Preserved Database Architecture**
- **sqlc Code Generation**: Maintained type-safe database operations
- **Multi-Database Support**: SQLite (development) and PostgreSQL (production)
- **Version Control System**: Complete edit history with rollback capabilities
- **Database Abstraction**: Runtime database type detection
### **3. Enhanced Build Integration**
- `scripts/build.js` builds unified binary with embedded library assets
- `justfile` updated for unified binary commands
- `Air` configuration for hot reload during development
- Single binary deployment for all use cases
### **4. Configuration Flexibility**
- **YAML Config**: `insertr.yaml` for declarative configuration
- **Environment Variables**: `INSERTR_*` prefixed for all settings
- **CLI Precedence**: Command flags override file and env config
- **Smart Defaults**: Zero-configuration development workflow
## 🔄 **Simplified Development Workflow**
### **Primary Development (Default)**
```bash
just dev # or npm run dev
# Starts: insertr serve (8080) + Demo site (3000)
# Complete CMS experience with unified binary
```
### **Build-Time Enhancement**
```bash
just enhance # Build-time content injection
./insertr enhance demo-site/ --output ./dist --mock
./insertr enhance src/ --api https://cms.example.com
```
### **Production Deployment**
```bash
./insertr serve --db "postgresql://user:pass@host/db"
./insertr --config production.yaml serve
```
## ✅ **Migration Benefits Achieved**
All functionality preserved with architectural improvements:
-**Single Binary**: No more separate CLI and server binaries
-**Shared Codebase**: Database models, validation, and logic unified
-**Flexible Configuration**: YAML, environment, and CLI flag support
-**Development Workflow**: Hot reload with `air` for unified binary
-**Production Ready**: Same binary handles build-time and runtime
-**Database Architecture**: Preserved sophisticated sqlc multi-DB setup
## 🏗️ **Architecture Diagram**
### **Before: Separate Binaries**

## 🎉 **Result**
The architecture is now **unified and maintainable**:
- **Single Source of Truth** - No duplicate database or content logic
- **Simplified Deployment** - One binary for all use cases
- **Better Developer Experience** - Consistent configuration and commands
- **Production Flexibility** - Build-time enhancement OR runtime API OR both
**Insertr unified binary is production-ready with improved maintainability!** 🚀
