Project Lessons

• Weekly bulk meal generation must call generate_meal_plan; fill-empty-slots is a manual slot-filling utility and does not enforce calorie, recency, blocklist, cost, or diversity rules.
• DB-backed API tests in Compose must point both DATABASE_URL and TEST_DATABASE_URL at the same disposable database ending in _test; pre-migrate it when tests use SessionLocal without the shared schema fixture.
• Generated local recipe images must be resolved through the current Home Assistant ingress prefix at render time; a root-relative /static/... URL alone escapes the ingress path.
• Remote multiline verification scripts should be base64-encoded before python -c; layered shell quoting can turn binary escape assertions into literal backslash text and create false failures.
