# ZitiNexus UI File Organization Tools

This directory contains tools to maintain proper file organization for the ZitiNexus Router Enrollment UI and prevent the issues that previously broke the system.

## 📋 Available Tools

### 1. Development Instructions
**File**: `UI/DEVELOPMENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md`
- **Purpose**: Comprehensive guidelines for proper file organization
- **When to use**: Before making any changes to the UI codebase
- **Contains**: Mandatory file structure rules, coding standards, templates, and best practices

### 2. Organization Audit Script
**Files**: 
- `check-organization.ps1` (PowerShell - Windows)
- `check-organization.sh` (Bash - Linux/macOS)

**Purpose**: Automatically check for file organization issues
**Usage**:
```powershell
# Windows PowerShell
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File check-organization.ps1
```
```bash
# Linux/macOS
chmod +x check-organization.sh
./check-organization.sh
```

**What it checks**:
- ✅ Duplicate PHP files outside proper directories
- ✅ Required directory structure
- ✅ Required files existence
- ✅ Misplaced files
- ✅ Debug/test files that should be removed
- ✅ File permissions (when run as admin/root)

### 3. Organization Cleanup Script
**File**: `cleanup-organization.ps1` (PowerShell - Windows)

**Purpose**: Automatically fix common file organization issues
**Usage**:
```powershell
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File cleanup-organization.ps1
```

**What it fixes**:
- 🔧 Removes duplicate PHP files
- 🔧 Removes test files directory
- 🔧 Removes debug files from production directories
- 🔧 Removes misplaced assets directories
- 🔧 Creates missing required directories
- 🔧 Sets proper file permissions (when run as administrator)

## 🚀 Quick Start Workflow

### Before Making Changes
1. **Read the guidelines**:
   ```
   Open UI/DEVELOPMENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md
   ```

2. **Check current organization**:
   ```powershell
   powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File check-organization.ps1
   ```

### After Making Changes
1. **Run audit to check for issues**:
   ```powershell
   powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File check-organization.ps1
   ```

2. **If issues found, run cleanup**:
   ```powershell
   powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File cleanup-organization.ps1
   ```

3. **Verify fixes**:
   ```powershell
   powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File check-organization.ps1
   ```

### Before Committing Code
**MANDATORY Pre-commit checklist**:
- [ ] Run `check-organization.ps1` - should show "EXCELLENT: File organization is perfect!"
- [ ] No duplicate PHP files exist
- [ ] All test files have been removed
- [ ] All debug files have been removed
- [ ] Files are in correct directories per the guidelines

## 📁 Correct File Structure

```
UI/
├── public/                     # ✅ PUBLIC FILES ONLY
│   ├── index.php              # ✅ Login page
│   ├── dashboard.php          # ✅ Dashboard page
│   └── assets/                # ✅ Static assets
│       ├── css/style.css
│       └── js/app.js
├── includes/                   # ✅ BACKEND LOGIC ONLY
│   ├── config.php
│   ├── auth.php
│   ├── api_client.php
│   └── enrollment.php
├── logs/                       # ✅ Application logs
├── README.md
├── INSTALLATION_GUIDE.md
└── DEVELOPMENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md
```

## ❌ What NOT to Do

**NEVER create these files/directories**:
- ❌ `UI/index.php` (use `UI/public/index.php`)
- ❌ `UI/dashboard.php` (use `UI/public/dashboard.php`)
- ❌ `UI/testfiles/` (remove after testing)
- ❌ `UI/assets/` (use `UI/public/assets/`)
- ❌ Any PHP file outside `/public/` or `/includes/`

## 🔧 Troubleshooting

### "File organization is perfect!" but UI doesn't work
- Check web server configuration
- Ensure document root points to `/public/` directory
- Verify file permissions
- Check PHP error logs

### Audit script shows errors after cleanup
- Review the specific errors shown
- Check if files were recreated
- Ensure you have proper permissions
- Refer to `UI/DEVELOPMENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md` for manual fixes

### PowerShell execution policy errors
```powershell
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser -Force
```

## 🆘 Emergency Recovery

If the UI system breaks due to file organization issues:

1. **Stop web server**
2. **Run cleanup script**:
   ```powershell
   powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File cleanup-organization.ps1
   ```
3. **Verify with audit script**:
   ```powershell
   powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File check-organization.ps1
   ```
4. **Restart web server**
5. **Test UI functionality**

**Remember**: The previous system breakage was caused by violating file organization principles. These tools exist to prevent that from happening again. Use them regularly and follow the guidelines religiously.
