# AETHEX Project - Complete Technical Stack Analysis

## Executive Summary

This document provides a comprehensive analysis of the AETHEX project's actual technical stack, comparing it against the development plan and identifying implementation status for all components.

---

## 1. FRONTEND STACK (Vercel)

### Current Implementation

- **Framework**: Vite + React (Custom architecture)
- **NOT Next.js** - This is a significant difference from the development plan
- **Build Tool**: Vite for fast development and optimized production builds
- **Hosting**: Vercel
- **UI Builder Integration**: Builder.io visual editor
- **Authentication Client**: Custom Supabase client (NOT @supabase/ssr)

### Row Level Security (RLS) Status

**Current State**: Basic RLS policies implemented

```sql
-- Example: Users can see their own profile
CREATE POLICY "User can see their own profile"
  ON public.user_profiles FOR SELECT
  USING (auth.uid() = id);

-- Users can update their own profile
CREATE POLICY "User can update their own profile"
  ON public.user_profiles FOR UPDATE
  USING (auth.uid() = id);
```

**Status**: ⚠️ NOT YET OPTIMIZED (Plan recommends performance optimization)

```sql
-- Should be optimized to:
CREATE POLICY "User can see their own profile"
  ON public.user_profiles FOR SELECT
  USING ((select auth.uid()) = id);  -- Wrapping in sub-select for performance
```

## 4. DISCORD INTEGRATION LAYER

### OAuth Flow (User Signup/Login with Discord)

```
User clicks "Continue with Discord" on /login
  ↓
Redirects to /api/discord/oauth/start
  ↓
Redirects to Discord OAuth authorize endpoint
  ↓
User authorizes on Discord

  ↓
Backend exchanges code for access token
  ↓
Fetch Discord user (id, username, email, avatar)
  ↓
Check if discord_id exists in discord_links
  ├─ YES: Use linked user_id
  ├─ NO: Check if email exists in user_profiles
  │   ├─ YES: Link Discord to that email
  │   └─ NO: Create new auth user + profile + link Discord
  ↓
Generate session cookie (sb-access-token, sb-refresh-token)
  ↓
Redirect to /dashboard (or /onboarding if new)
```

### Verification Code Flow (Link Existing Account)

## CONCLUSION

The AETHEX project is **~75% production-ready**. The core architecture differs from the development plan (Vite+React instead of Next.js), but the implementation is solid and functional. The main work ahead is:

1. Configuring CSP headers for Discord Activity
2. Implementing the full Embedded App SDK dual-auth flow
3. Setting up CI/CD automation
4. Minor performance optimizations to RLS policies

All critical functionality (auth, Discord, creator network, bot) is working and tested.
