Pull request overview
This PR establishes Phase 1 foundations for a 6‑month modernization effort (Base44 → Supabase/Vercel migration strategy, TypeScript adoption plan, enterprise SSO architecture, and CI/CD automation), primarily via new strategic documentation plus initial repo configuration for TypeScript, Vercel, and GitHub Actions.
Changes:
- Adds extensive architecture/migration documentation (strategy, TS migration, SSO, Base44 abstraction, exec summary, quickstart).
- Introduces TypeScript project configs + updates
typecheckscripts and adds a TS progress tracking script. - Reworks GitHub Actions workflow into a multi-stage CI/CD pipeline and adds a Vercel deployment configuration.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
typecheck is effectively non-blocking: the command swallows failures (|| echo ...) and the step also has continue-on-error: true. This means type errors will not fail CI, which undermines the “quality/typecheck gates” goal. Consider making typecheck required on at least main/protected branches (or only allow non-blocking behavior temporarily via a conditional).

Both deploy steps use continue-on-error: true on the actual Vercel deployment, so the workflow can report success even if deployment fails. This is risky operationally (especially for production) and makes failures easy to miss. Remove continue-on-error for deployment steps (or gate it behind a manual override) so failed deploys fail the job.

Using trufflesecurity/trufflehog@main is not pinned and can change unexpectedly, which is a supply-chain risk for CI. Pin this action to a tagged release or a commit SHA.

This redirect rewrites /login to /auth/login, but there is no /auth/login route/component in the current app (and several places navigate to /login, e.g. SSOCallback). This will likely break login/SSO flows in production. Either remove this redirect or ensure /auth/login is implemented and all in-app navigation/auth redirects are updated consistently.

rewrites is currently a no-op (/api/:path* → /api/:path*). If the intent is to proxy API calls to a different origin, this needs to point to the real backend URL; otherwise it can be removed to avoid confusion and accidental masking of future routing issues.

PR description mentions CSP/security headers, but Content-Security-Policy (and typically Strict-Transport-Security) are not set here. Either add the missing headers (potentially start with Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only) or adjust the PR/docs to reflect that CSP/HSTS are still pending.

The “Comment on PR with deployment URL” step can never run because deploy-staging only runs on push events (if: ... && github.event_name == 'push'), but this step requires a pull_request event. Either remove the step, or change the deployment strategy to run a preview deploy on PRs and then comment there.

npm audit --audit-level=high is configured with continue-on-error: true, so high-severity vulnerabilities will not fail CI. If the intention is to keep it informational for now, consider at least failing on main/release branches (or adding an allowlist policy) so known high/critical issues can’t be shipped unnoticed.

typecheck now runs tsc --noEmit, which uses tsconfig.json. Since tsconfig.json does not enable allowJs/checkJs, this likely stops type-checking the existing JS/JSX code that was previously covered by tsc -p jsconfig.json. If the intent is to keep JS typechecking during migration, either keep typecheck pointed at jsconfig.json for now or update tsconfig.json to explicitly include/check JS.

VITE_BASE44_PROJECT_ID is configured here, but the runtime Base44 client is populated from appParams defaults (import.meta.env.VITE_BASE44_APP_ID / VITE_BASE44_BACKEND_URL). As-is, Vercel builds won’t provide the env vars the app actually reads, so Base44 client initialization will fall back to null values unless URL params are present. Align the Vercel env var names with what the app consumes (or update src/lib/app-params.js + docs to use VITE_BASE44_PROJECT_ID).
