+# EMI Backend Agent Notes
+
+## What this service is
+- Node.js + Express API for EMI social features (profiles, posts, groups/courses, songs, payments, Bible/subsplash integrations).
+- Main entrypoint: `index.js`.
+- MongoDB Atlas-backed via `MONGO_URL` using `mongodb@3.6.x`.
+
+## Runbook
+- Install: `npm install`
+- Start: `npm start` (binds to `PORT`, default `3000`)
+- Test: `npm test` (single auth test file)
+- API docs: `GET /api-docs`
+
+## High-level architecture
+- `index.js`: middleware setup, auth routes, route mounting, Swagger, web-push setup.
+- `mongoDB.js`: creates shared DB object + collections + utility methods, then extends with:
+  - `dbTools/profile.js`
+  - `dbTools/post.js`
+  - `dbTools/payments.js`
+  - `dbTools/songs.js`
+- `middleware/sessionChecker.js`: cookie/session validation and profile context hydration.
+- `routes/*.js`: feature-specific routers.
+- `def/*.js`: lightweight constructors for `Profile`, `Post`, `Songs`.
+
+## Auth + session model
+- Cookies used:
+  - `user_sid`
+  - `session_id`
+  - `profile_id`
+- `sessionChecker` verifies ObjectId format, then checks session in `tokens` collection.
+- On missing/invalid session/profile, user is redirected to `/login`.
+- Most app routes are protected with `sessionChecker` except:
+  - `/signup`, `/login`, `/logout`, `/resetPassword`
+  - `/payments/*`
+  - `/subsplash/*`
+  - `/invite/:email`
+
+## Key route surfaces
+- `routes/profile.js`:
+  - Profile CRUD, invites, follow/unfollow, group/course discovery, subscribe/approve/reject flows.
+- `routes/post.js`:
+  - Feed endpoints, tags/media filters, create/edit/delete posts, reactions/comments/bookmarks.
+  - Merges organic + non-organic posts (news/popular recommendations).
+- `routes/payments.js`:
+  - Stripe payment intent creation + result registration; can toggle subscription timestamp.
+- `routes/songs.js`:
+  - Song CRUD (ownership checks are effectively placeholder).
+- `routes/bible.js`:
+  - Proxies scripture.api.bible endpoints using hardcoded API key in source.
+- `routes/subsplash.js`:
+  - Scrapes Subsplash HTML with cheerio for events/media.
+
+## Data model (collections)
+- `users`: auth identity + password hash + optional customer.
+- `tokens`: session documents (`uid` points to user).
+- `invitation`: invite gating for signup.
+- `profiles`: user/group/course/chat profile documents.
+- `posts`: feed posts, reactions, comments, bookmarks, tags, non-organic type.
+- `payments`: intent and payment result records.
+- `songs`: song content metadata and reactions/comments.
+
+## Important operational dependencies
+- Mongo connection is required before server starts listening (`index.js` waits for `DB.getDB`).
+- Notifications:
+  - Email via `nodemailer` SMTP (`mail.emmint.com`, env `EMAILPASS`).
+  - Mobile push via Expo (`expo-server-sdk`).
+  - Web push VAPID keys (`PUBLIC_VAPID_KEY`, `PRIVATE_VAPID_KEY`, `WEB_PUSH_EMAIL`).
+- Analytics via PostHog (`POSTHOG_API_KEY`).
+- Stripe via `STRIPE`.
+
+## Environment/cookie/cors behavior
+- Cookies configured in `config/cookiesOptions.js`:
+  - production or `COOKIE_SECURE=true` => `secure: true`, `sameSite: none`
+  - local HTTP => `secure: false`, `sameSite: lax`
+- Allowed CORS origins in `config/corsOptions.js` are explicit list-based.
+
+## Known code risks and maintenance hotspots
+- Mixed ESM/CommonJS utility scripts (`AITools.js` uses ESM style while app is CommonJS).
+- `routes/bible.js` has duplicate `/books` route and a probable bug in `/books/:bookId` (`bibleId` reference).
+- Hardcoded external API key in `routes/bible.js` should be moved to env.
+- `routes/songs.js` `songBelongsToUser` always returns true (authorization gap).
+- Some endpoints return redirect-to-login for API callers instead of structured 401 JSON.
+- Inconsistent error handling/response shapes across routes.
+- Legacy driver/runtime tension:
+  - Dependency is `mongodb@3.6.x`
+  - `Dockerfile` uses Node 22, but code warns Node 22 is not fully tested; Node 20 LTS is safer.
+
+## Testing state
+- Only `test/auth.test.js` exists; no broad coverage for routes/db tools.
+- Auth test expects existing seeded user behavior, so reliability depends on DB fixture state.
+
+## Suggested workflow for future changes
+- Keep fixes scoped and defensive (null checks + stable JSON).
+- For auth/session changes:
+  - update both `sessionChecker` and `utils/sessionUtils.js`.
+- For profile/post behavior:
+  - confirm DB helper method side effects in `dbTools/*`.
+- For production incidents:
+  - first validate `MONGO_URL` connectivity and cookie security mode alignment.
