 The Laravel Boost guidelines are specifically curated by Laravel maintainers for this application. These guidelines should be followed closely to ensure the best experience when building Laravel applications.
 
+## Persistent Project Context (IMPORTANT)
+
+- You MUST read, understand, and strictly follow the underlying business logic and feature requests documented in `IDEA.md` in every session.
+- You MUST adhere to all style architecture, backend transaction, and integration decisions recorded in `DECISIONS.md`. Update `DECISIONS.md` when any major design decisions are made during a session.
+
 ## Foundational Context
 
 This application is a Laravel application and its main Laravel ecosystems package & versions are below. You are an expert with them all. Ensure you abide by these specific packages & versions.

 *   **Backend:** Laravel
 *   **Frontend:** Vue.js with Inertia.js
-*   **Real-time:** Laravel Reverb for notifications and real-time updates.
+*   **Real-time:** Laravel Echo via `@laravel/echo-vue` for notifications and real-time updates.
 *   **Testing:** Pest for PHP tests.
-*   **Styling:** Tailwind CSS (based on the presence of `tailwindcss-development` skill).
+*   **Styling:** **BEM (Block, Element, Modifier)** methodology. Replaced verbose inline Tailwind classes in custom HTML templates with semantic BEM classes (e.g., `.c-chat`, `.user-info__avatar`), and mapped them to CSS rules using Tailwind v4's `@apply` directive inside scoped `<style>` blocks. This preserves the clean, dark, BDSM-themed aesthetic while significantly improving markup readability.
+
+## Architectural & Integration Decisions
+
+### 1. Style Architecture Shift to BEM
+To improve front-end maintainability, we transitioned the core reusable layout and page components away from raw utility-class markup. Styles are now strictly encapsulated within Vue Single File Component (SFC) `<style scoped>` blocks. To keep the look and feel 100% intact, we used Tailwind v4 `@apply` directives inside these blocks, referencing our central stylesheet (`@reference "../../css/app.css"`) to pull in custom themes and variables cleanly.
+*Note:* Third-party shadcn-vue library primitives (located in `components/ui/`) were kept intact to preserve vendor update integrity.
+
+### 2. Robust Real-time Echo Fallback & Deduplication
+To address potential initialization and bundling errors under local-development:
+*   **Module Deduplication:** Configured `resolve.dedupe: ['@laravel/echo-vue']` in `vite.config.ts` to ensure exactly one instance of the Echo plugin and configuration state is shared across main and lazy-loaded bundles.
+*   **Defensive Initialization:** Added checks using `echoIsConfigured()` and configured fallback connection parameters (e.g., `'mock-key'`) in both `app.ts` and `Chat.vue`'s setup functions. This ensures that missing environment variables (such as `VITE_REVERB_APP_KEY`) do not trigger fatal Pusher initialization crashes that block component rendering, allowing the websocket to fail silently (which is correct when Reverb is not running locally).
+
+### 3. Controller Authorization Fix
+We imported the `Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\Access\AuthorizesRequests` trait directly into `LedgerController.php`. This fixes the 500 Internal Server Error when loading the ledger page, which was caused by `LedgerController` calling `$this->authorize('view', ...)` without inheriting the required method from the Laravel 11 base `Controller`.

+# Ledgerrz Project Instructions & Conventions
+
+Welcome to the Ledgerrz codebase! This file defines the persistent guidelines, architectural rules, and context directories loaded in every Gemini session.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Context Persistence Mandate
+*   **Business Logic & Goals (`IDEA.md`):** You MUST read and follow the application concept, features, and user workflow goals outlined in `IDEA.md` at the start of any new session.
+*   **Design & Architecture Decisions (`DECISIONS.md`):** You MUST strictly adhere to the established style architecture (BEM methodology with scoped styles and `@apply`), package deduplication rules, and controller structures documented in `DECISIONS.md`. Update this file with any new major design decisions made during your session.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Key Technology Stack & Conventions
+*   **PHP/Laravel:** PHP 8.4 & Laravel 13. Adhere to typed parameters and return values. Ensure controllers extend properly and use required authorization traits (e.g., `AuthorizesRequests`).
+*   **Frontend Styling (BEM):** Replaced direct Tailwind inline utility-class markup with **BEM (Block, Element, Modifier)**. All custom component styles must live inside `<style scoped>` blocks with a relative `@reference "../../css/app.css"` directive to pull variables without duplications.
+*   **Real-time Broadcasting:** Powered by `@laravel/echo-vue` with fallback configurations and Vite deduplication rules configured in `vite.config.ts`.
+*   **Testing:** Powered by Pest PHP (v4). Every backend controller, event, or model change must be validated by running `vendor/bin/pest`.
