apairon 491f495c66 feat: enhance project setup and architecture documentation
- Updated `tibi-project-setup` skill to clarify project initialization goals and steps.
- Improved `tibi-ssr-caching` skill to detail SSR architecture, responsibilities, and caching mechanisms.
- Introduced `website-solution-architecture` skill for translating website requirements into coherent solutions.
- Refined `AGENTS.md` to provide a structured roadmap for project development phases.
- Added `ADMIN_ASSET_VERSION` to `api/config.yml.env` for asset versioning.
- Updated SSR request flow and cache invalidation logic in `api/hooks/ssr/AGENTS.md`.
- Removed obsolete `esbuild.config.admin.js` and integrated asset versioning into the main `esbuild.config.js`.
- Adjusted `api/collections/content.yml` to utilize asset versioning for admin scripts.

description: Write and debug server-side hooks for tibi-server (goja Go JS runtime). Covers IIFE structure, HookResponse/HookException types, context.filter Go-object quirk, single-item vs list retrieval, and MongoDB filter patterns. Use when creating or modifying files in api/hooks/.

# tibi-hook-authoring
Use this skill for **current tibi-server hook architecture**, not just simple CRUD filters. A real website project on this starter typically needs hooks for public filtering, SSR invalidation, action endpoints, validation, and editor safety.
## Hook file structure
Wrap every hook in an IIFE:
```js
;(function () {
/** @type {HookResponse} */
const response = { status: 200 }
// ... hook logic ...
return response
})()
```
Always return a `HookResponse` or throw a `HookException`.
For many hooks, throwing is the normal control flow, especially in SSR hooks where HTML/status are returned via a thrown object.
## Type safety
- Use inline JSDoc type casting: `/** @type {TypeName} */ (value)`.
- Reference typed collection entries from `types/global.d.ts`.
- Avoid `@ts-ignore`; use proper casting instead.
- Use `const` and `let` instead of `var` — the goja runtime supports them.
## context.filter — Go object quirk
`context.filter` is a Go object, not a regular JS object. Even when empty, it is **truthy**.
Always check with `Object.keys()`:
```js
const requestedFilter =
context.filter &&
typeof context.filter === "object" &&
!Array.isArray(context.filter) &&
Object.keys(context.filter).length > 0
? context.filter
: null
```
**Never** use `context.filter || null` — it is always truthy and produces an empty filter inside `$and`, which crashes the Go server.
## Single-item vs. list retrieval
For `GET /:collection/:id`, the Go server sets `_id` automatically from the URL parameter.
GET read hooks should **not** set their own `_id` filter for `req.param("id")`. Only add authorization filters (e.g. `{ userId: userId }`).
## Current hook surfaces that matter for website projects
- Collection CRUD hooks under `get`, `post`, `put`, `delete`
- Bulk hooks for optimized bulk operations
- `audit.return` hooks for stripping sensitive data from audit output
- `actions:` hook chains for endpoint-like behavior without a backing CRUD collection
For website builds on this starter, do not force everything into collections. Contact forms, newsletter signups, webhook receivers, import jobs, calculators, or other endpoint-style logic often belong into `actions:` instead.
## HookResponse fields (GET hooks)
| Field | Purpose |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `filter` | MongoDB filter (list retrieval, or restrict single-item) |
| `selector` | MongoDB projection (`{ field: 0 }` exclude, `{ field: 1 }` include) |
| `offset` | Pagination offset |
| `limit` | Pagination limit |
| `sort` | Sort specification |
| `pipelineMod` | Function to manipulate the aggregation pipeline |
## context.data for write hooks
- `context.data` can be an array for bulk operations — always guard with `!Array.isArray(context.data)`.
- For POST hooks, `context.data.id` may contain the new entry ID.
- For PUT, `req.param("id")` gives the entry ID.
## Bulk and optimized paths
- tibi-server supports optimized bulk paths.
- In bulk scenarios, `bind` still runs once at the start.
- Per-document validation/update/delete hooks may be skipped depending on the chosen bulk path.
If a website feature depends on per-entry logic, do not assume a bulk update behaves exactly like N single updates. Check whether a dedicated bulk hook exists or whether the optimized path changes the behavior you rely on.
## Action hooks
Actions are first-class endpoints and should be part of the skill set for complete website builds.
Typical action steps:
- `post.bind`
- `post.validate`
- `post.handle`
- `post.return`
- `get.handle`
- `get.return`
Use actions when the website needs business logic without a CRUD collection.
Typical website use cases:
- contact forms
- newsletter signups
- quote/order requests
- webhook receivers
- utility endpoints
- AI-assisted helper endpoints
## Practical hook patterns for this starter family
- public read filtering for `active`/publication state
- SSR cache invalidation after writes
- route-level SSR validation
- mutation safeguards for readonly/system-managed fields
- custom form/action validation
- audit-output sanitizing for sensitive fields
## Common pitfalls
- Do not assume browser/Node APIs in hooks. The runtime is goja-based server-side JS.
- Do not treat actions as fake collections unless there is a good reason.
- Do not assume bulk hooks run per document.
- Do not build SSR/cache logic into frontend code when the invalidation belongs in hooks.
