Style check fixes:
- Replace unicode box-drawing characters with ASCII (|-- instead of ├──)
- Replace emoji status markers with [OK]/[FAIL]/[WARN] tags
- Replace arrows (→ with ->, ↔ with <->) and em-dashes (— with --)
- Add venv-quick to excluded directories in check script
- Exclude darkwing report files (findings.sarif, report.md)
Backup finalization fix:
- Fix finalize-restore endpoint to not claim the upgrade sentinel
- Endpoint now checks for pending upgrade and returns {queued: true}
- Leaves UPGRADE_SENTINEL for background watcher to claim and process
- Prevents inline Alembic runs that can outlast request timeout
Claude Code context:
- Add .claude/ directory with INDEX.md and QUICK-REFERENCE.md
- Add CLAUDE.md with project overview and conventions
- Helps Claude Code understand project structure and rules
Fixes failing test: test_the_endpoint_does_not_run_the_upgrade_itself
Fixes naming/style CI check violations

ASSESSMENT: Current Docker source build is NOT production-ready.
Too complex:
- 10+ manual setup steps
- Zscaler cert extraction required
- 15+ minute build times
- 3-container backup orchestration
- Manual plugin installation
- Scattered documentation
RECOMMENDATIONS:
- West Jefferson: Use IIS + Windows Services (simplest)
- New sites: Pre-built Docker images from registry (needs CI/CD)
- Source build: Development only, not for operations
Code is solid. Deployment automation needs 2-3 weeks investment.
Created honest assessment document explaining why current approach
is too complex and what's needed for true production readiness.
