The deployed migration crash-looped PocketBase (502 on every /api call) for two reasons, both verified against a production-like DB locally: 1. team_members is referenced by relation fields (team_member_id) in micro_learning_completions and theme_session_completions, so app.delete(team_members) was blocked — and the swallowed error left the create to fail with "Collection name must be unique". Fix: before dropping team_members, convert those relation fields to plain text (consistent with how user_id is stored elsewhere) and rebuild the theme_session_completions unique index on the text column. 2. An enabled OAuth2 provider with empty clientId/clientSecret fails validation and aborts the migration. Fix: attach the OIDC provider only when ENTRA_CLIENT_ID and ENTRA_CLIENT_SECRET are present; otherwise create the auth collection without a provider. Verified locally with the muchobien/pocketbase image: boots clean both without Entra env (provider-less) and with env (auth-methods returns the Microsoft OIDC provider).

Respellion Learning Platform
An internal AI-powered learning platform that keeps Respellion employees up to date with the company's evolving knowledge base.
Features
- Onboarding — On first login each employee enrolls into the curriculum with one tap. Their 26-week cycle starts then and there.
- Weekly Learning Station — Each employee gets a topic for their current curriculum week, drawn from the active 26-week schedule (with a deterministic hash fallback when no curriculum is active). They engage via micro-learnings (concept explainer, scenario quiz, flashcard set) and can also generate long-form formats (Article, Slides, Infographic) on demand.
- Weekly Test — A 5-question AI-generated quiz for the week's topic. Results feed the leaderboard.
- Leaderboard & Gamification — Points for correct answers, badges for milestones (First Steps, Veteran, Perfectionist).
- R42 Chatbot — An always-available AI assistant (Claude) grounded in the knowledge graph via local TF-IDF retrieval. It can propose graph updates that admins approve or reject.
- Admin Panel — Manage the knowledge graph, upload source files, review/refine generated content, generate the curriculum, and manage the team.

Getting Started (local dev)
# 1. Install dependencies
npm install
# 2. Start PocketBase
./pocketbase.exe serve
# 3. Bootstrap collections (first run only)
node scripts/setup-pb-collections.mjs
# 4. Start the dev server
npm run dev
Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in your environment — the Vite dev server proxies /api/anthropic and injects the key server-side (see vite.config.js). PocketBase migrations in pb_migrations/ apply automatically when the binary starts.
Deployment (Docker)
docker compose up -d
The Caddyfile handles:
- SPA fallback routing
/api/anthropic/*→ Anthropic API (server-side API key injection)/api/*and/_/*→ the PocketBase sidecar
