Updates ORIENTATION.md and HANDOFF.md to reflect actual state as of
commit 8e89f79: phases 1/2/3/7 complete (verified, not just claimed),
phases 4/5/6/8/9/10/11 not started. Documents the auth model, the
bootstrap login hatch, the SWIFTLY_BEARER_TOKEN expiration handling,
the Swiftly JSON API ingestion path that replaced Playwright, the
canonicalized API paths, and the verification commands to reproduce
the 31/31 pytest gate locally and in CI.
HANDOFF.md is intended for fresh agents and points at .agent/
phase-summaries for the per-phase write-ups. Surfaces 10 caveats and
traps the next agent will hit if they skim, and recommends Phase 9
(meal-planner generation algorithm) as the next move.

Meal Planner
Self-hosted meal planning system that integrates with Lucky California grocery store, sends weekly meal proposals via email to family members, generates shopping lists, and learns from feedback.
Background
This project was born out of frustration with meal kit services (Blue Apron → EveryPlate → HungryRoot → Sunbasket) that:
- Escalate costs to 3x ingredient markup
- Fall into repetitive meal rhythms
- Force users to log into apps to manage selections
- Don't integrate with home pantry items
Features
- Grocery Integration: Scrapes Lucky California weekly ads and sales
- Family Approval Workflow: Email proposals with approve/deny; one denial swaps the meal
- Shopping List Generation: Weekly list grouped by store aisles, highlighting sales
- Pantry Integration: Specify home items to incorporate into suggestions
- Web UI: Modern interface for the whole family
- Learning: Feedback-based meal recommendations
- Recipe Images: Scraped from public recipe sites, AI fallback available
Architecture
- Backend: Python/FastAPI
- Database: PostgreSQL
- Frontend: React + Tailwind CSS
- Email: SendGrid
- Hosting: Docker Compose with nginx reverse proxy
