# Prabhupāda Says — Project Context

## What this project is

A Next.js app that converts legacy RTF files containing Vedic scriptures and teachings by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda into structured, browsable content with proper Unicode Sanskrit.

The original RTF files use **custom font encodings** (Indevr, ScaGoudy, Inbenr/Inbeni, RM Devanagari, Balaram, etc.) where ASCII characters map to Devanagari/Bengali glyphs and IAST diacritical marks. The extraction pipeline decodes these into proper Unicode, generates Devanagari from IAST, and stores everything in MongoDB for serving via a Next.js frontend.

---

## Tech Stack

- **Next.js 16** with Turbopack, React 19, TypeScript
- **Tailwind CSS v4** with `@tailwindcss/postcss`
- **shadcn/ui** (base-nova style, lucide icons) — components: Button, Card, Badge, Tooltip, Input, Drawer
- **next-themes** for dark/light/system mode
- **vaul** for mobile drawer navigation
- **Prisma v6** with MongoDB (provider `prisma-client-js`)
- **MongoDB** native driver (`mongodb` package) for seeding (Prisma requires replica set for writes)
- **Python 3** with BeautifulSoup4 + `indic-transliteration` for HTML extraction scripts
- **Database**: MongoDB at `DATABASE_URL` env variable with `?authSource=admin`

- **Total**: 4,747 disciples
- **3,296** Dasa, **1,450** Devi Dasi, **1** Svāmī
- **4,554** have initiation dates (month + year); **193** are missing dates
- **4,703** have initiation places; **44** are missing places

- `karmiName`, `avatar`, `about`, and `tags` are empty by default — intended for manual curation

## Font Encoding System

### ScaGoudy → IAST mapping (used in BG, SB, CC, ISO, NOI, NoD, and most 1969+ books)

```
ä→ā  Ä→Ā  å→ṛ  Å→Ṛ  ñ→ṣ  Ñ→Ṣ  ö→ṭ  Ö→Ṭ  ë→ṇ  Ë→Ṇ  ò→ḍ  Ò→Ḍ
ç→ś  Ç→Ś  ì→ṅ  ï→ñ  ü→ū  Ü→Ū  é→ī  É→Ī  à→ṁ  ù→ḥ  è→ṝ  û→ṁl  ÿ→ḷ
```

### Bengali fonts (Inbenr/Inbeni in CC)

Custom-encoded fonts where ASCII codepoints render as Bengali script. Fixed by `fix-bengali-encoding.py`.

### RM Devanagari font (used in ISO, NOI)

Custom-encoded Devanagari font (p51 CSS class). The text appears as garbled ASCII without the font. **Skipped during extraction** — Unicode Devanagari is generated from IAST transliteration instead.

### Devanagari generation

IAST transliteration → Devanagari via `indic-transliteration` library. Key fixes:
- `join_virama_words()` — joins virāma + consonant AND virāma + vowel
- `normalize_devanagari_anusvara()` — ङ् → ं before velars, ञ् → ं before palatals

### Books without ScaGoudy encoding

- **TLC (1968 Edition)** — plain English transliterations ("Krishna" not "Kṛṣṇa")
- **Two Essays (1966)** — plain English
- **GG (Gītār Gān)** — Bengali poetic text (ScaGoudy decoded for transliteration)
- **LCL (Life Comes from Life)** — dialogue book, ScaGoudy decoded
- **MOG, CBHC, PK** — pre-1977 handwritten documents, plain English
- **BK (Bhagavāner Kathā)** — pre-1977, uses ScaGoudy encoding
- **CC Essays, Vedānta-sūtra transcript** — plain English
- All other books from other.html use ScaGoudy encoding

## Volume Convention

Books without volumes use `volume: 0` as a sentinel value in the `prose_chapters` collection. This satisfies the Prisma schema's `@@unique([book, volume, slug])` constraint without requiring schema changes.

- KB uses `volume: 1` and `volume: 2`
- All other prose books use `volume: 0`

---

## Hierarchical Books (SSR, DS)

SSR and DS have parent chapters with sub-chapters stored as individual `prose_chapters` docs:

- Sub-chapter slugs: `"1-1"`, `"1-2"`, `"2-1"`, etc.
- Parent chapter info stored in `intro.json` metadata:
  ```json
  {
    "chapters": [
      {
        "number": 1,
        "title": "Learning the Science of the Soul",
        "subChapters": [
          { "slug": "1-1", "title": "Seeing the Aim of Human Life" },
          { "slug": "1-2", "title": "Your Original Consciousness Is Kṛṣṇa Consciousness" }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
  ```
- Sidebar UI shows parent headings (non-clickable) with sub-chapters indented below
- Prev/next navigation skips parent headings

---

## UI Features

### Reading Settings (accessibility)
- **Theme**: Light / Dark / System toggle
- **Serif Font**: Toggle to switch reading content to Georgia/serif
- **Font Size**: Slider (XS → XXL) using CSS `zoom` on `main` and `aside`
- **Justify Text**: Toggle for justified text alignment on reading content
- Settings persist in `localStorage` under `spsays_reading_prefs`
- Applied via CSS classes on `<html>` element

### Mobile Navigation
- Left-slide drawer (vaul) triggered by a menu button next to the Previous button
- Only visible below `lg` breakpoint
- Shows the full sidebar navigation grouped by section
- Implemented in all 24+ reader pages via shared `MobileNav` component

### Search
- Books page: diacritic-aware search (typing "Krsna" matches "Kṛṣṇa")
- Glossary page: full-text search across terms and definitions
- Uses Unicode NFD normalization + manual IAST character stripping

### Color Palette
- **Light mode ("Aged Parchment")**: Warm cream backgrounds, deep sepia text, saffron/ochre primary
- **Dark mode ("Ancient Manuscript")**: Deep warm brown backgrounds, parchment text, golden saffron primary

### Password Protection
- Client-side gate component (`PasswordGate`) wrapping the entire app
- Runtime check via `GET /api/verify-access` (checks if `ACCESS_KEY` env var is set)
- Validation via `POST /api/verify-access` (compares submitted key)
- Stores valid key in `sessionStorage`
- Bypassed when `ACCESS_KEY` is not set

## Known Issues

1. **MongoDB BSON wire corruption**: The MongoDB server occasionally corrupts large BSON documents. Workaround: seed using `insertOne` + `$push` for paragraphs one at a time.

2. **SB verse numbering**: 5 duplicate verse reference tags in the HTML. Fixed by using the TEXT N header as authoritative.

3. **RTF routes gated**: `/rtfs` only accessible when `ALLOW_RTF=true`.

4. **`scripts/` excluded from tsconfig**: Prevents TypeScript build errors from seed scripts.

5. **CSS zoom for font scaling**: `zoom` property works in Chrome/Safari/Edge but may not work in older Firefox (< 126). A `transform: scale()` fallback is provided via `@supports not (zoom: 1.1)`.

6. **Password protection requires ACCESS_KEY at runtime**: The `PasswordGate` component checks the server at runtime via `/api/verify-access`. The env var must be available when the server is running, not just at build time.
