BREAKING CHANGE: Replaced Node.js backend with Python Flask
Reason: npm not available on production server, Python/pip is available.
Changes:
- Created app.py (Flask) to replace server.js (Node.js)
- Created requirements.txt with only 2 dependencies (Flask, mysql-connector-python)
- Updated README.md with Flask installation and deployment instructions
- Maintained all existing functionality:
* Same API endpoints (/api/notifications, /health)
* Same database queries (isshopfloor filter, 72-hour window)
* Same priority sorting (incidents first)
* Serves static files from public/ directory
* Same environment variable configuration
Dependencies:
- Flask==3.0.0
- mysql-connector-python==8.2.0
The public/index.html frontend remains unchanged - only the backend was converted.
Tested and verified:
- API endpoint returns correct data
- Health check responds
- Dashboard displays properly
- Database connectivity working
- PM2 process manager compatible
