Bugsink is a Django-based error tracker. It's maintained by one developer and favors simple, predictable code over
abstract generality. Python 3.12 is the standard environment.
## Coding Guidance
* Keep it clear and simple.
* Use descriptive names, short functions, minimal boilerplate.
* Avoid overly clever or verbose code -- this isn't Java.
* Avoid overcommenting: only comment to explain unusual or complex logic or
design decisions
* Follow PEP8 and ensure `flake8` passes (CI ignores E741, E731). width: 120 columns.
* Use Django idioms: models, views, middleware, etc.
## Tests
* Prefer a few focused unit tests around testable logic.
* Broader integration tests are fine to exercise key flows.
* It's OK to generate simple coverage-style tests — just mark them with:
`# LLM-generated test for coverage`
### Further details
##### Database
* Bugsink assumes a single-writer DB model (no write concurrency).
* Keep writes short
* Use `bugsink/transaction.py` helpers like `@durable_atomic` etc.
##### Frontend (Tailwind)
* Bugsink doesn't have a backend/frontend split: "classic django instead"
* Bugsink uses Tailwind via `django-tailwind`
* Before committing, build the CSS and add it:
`python manage.py tailwind build && git add theme/static/css/dist/styles.css`
(this is done automatically if you use the pre-commit hook from the repo root)
##### Other
* Use function-based views by default.
* Use `python manage.py runserver` (uses `bugsink.settings.development`)
* The default SQLite setup should work out of the box.
