Review Summary by QodoProduction hardening: operational endpoints, security headers, Docker support, and documentation baseline
WalkthroughsDescription• **Backend operational readiness**: Adds structured environment validation, security headers middleware, and operational endpoints (/api/health, /api/readiness) with database dependency checks for production deployment gates • **Production configuration**: Implements safe environment metadata reporting, fail-closed readiness validation, and scripts/validate-env.ts for release gates without exposing secrets • **Docker support**: Adds multi-stage Dockerfile with non-root user, healthchecks aligned to operational endpoints, and .dockerignore for optimized builds • **Documentation overhaul**: Rewrites README as engineering overview, adds SETUP.md, RELEASES.md, and docs/PRODUCTION_READINESS.md with release gates and roadmap • **Product visibility**: Adds professional About page explaining backend architecture and operational posture, linked from home navigation • **Repository hygiene**: Updates contribution guide, PR template, GitHub automation docs, and environment inventory with production-focused guidance • **Version bump**: Increments to v1.1.0 as production-hardening baseline with validation evidence Diagramflowchart LR

1. Docker runtime lacks node_modules 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
The runtime Docker stage copies only package.json and dist/, but the server build uses esbuild --packages=external, so imports like express remain external and require node_modules at runtime; the container will fail to start with module-resolution errors. This breaks the advertised Docker production workflow.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
The Docker runtime image does not contain Node dependencies, but the built server bundle is not self-contained because the build uses esbuild `--packages=external`.
## Issue Context
- `package.json` builds the server with externalized packages.
- `Dockerfile` runtime stage does not run `pnpm install` and does not copy `node_modules` from the build stages.
## Fix Focus Areas
- Dockerfile[18-29]
- package.json[6-18]
## Suggested fix options
Choose one:
1) **Preferred**: In the runtime stage, copy `package.json` + `pnpm-lock.yaml`, enable corepack, run `pnpm install --prod --frozen-lockfile`, then copy `dist/`.
2) Copy `node_modules/` from the `deps` (or `build`) stage into the runtime stage (be careful with pnpm symlinks/store; validate the container starts).
3) Make the server bundle self-contained by removing `--packages=external` (or explicitly bundling needed dependencies), then ensure `dist/` contains everything required.
Validate by running the built container and confirming `node dist/index.js` starts and `/api/health` returns 200.

Summary
This pull request hardens Ellie into a professional full-stack application baseline with backend operational readiness, production configuration validation, Docker support, release documentation, repository hygiene, and a visible About surface for users and reviewers.
Backend and production readiness
/api/health,/api/readiness, and/api/ready.scripts/validate-env.tsandpnpm run validate:env/pnpm run validate:env:production.Repository and product polish

The originally approved local patch also modernized
.github/workflows/*.yml, but GitHub rejected workflow file updates because the authenticated app token does not have workflow-write permission. To keep this PR reviewable and avoid blocking the backend/docs hardening, workflow changes were preserved as separate local proposal artifacts and excluded from this pushed branch.Deployment note
This branch is build-verified and Dockerfile-ready. A live production deployment still requires real production secrets and infrastructure values, especially
DATABASE_URL,JWT_SECRET,BUILT_IN_FORGE_API_URL, andBUILT_IN_FORGE_API_KEY. The readiness endpoint intentionally fails closed until critical dependencies are reachable.
