sirpiglr 7197be23c4 Redirect Foundation and GameForge routes to a new domain
Introduce an `ExternalRedirect` component and update routes in `App.tsx` to redirect `/foundation/*` and `/gameforge/*` to `aethex.foundation`. This change enforces legal entity separation as per the Axiom Model, ensuring user-facing URLs reflect the independent `aethex.foundation` domain. Documentation in `replit.md` is updated to reflect this new routing architecture.

AeThex - Advanced Development Platform

Overview

AeThex is a full-stack web application designed as an advanced development platform and community for builders. It integrates features for project collaboration, mentorship programs, research labs, and a creator network. The platform aims to be a single source of truth for identity and project passports, fostering a vibrant ecosystem for creators and developers.

User Preferences

I prefer detailed explanations. I want iterative development. Ask before making major changes. Do not make changes to the folder electron/. Do not make changes to the folder discord-bot/. Do not make changes to the folder services/. Do not make changes to the folder api/. Do not make changes to the file server/index.ts.

System Architecture

AeThex is built as a full-stack web application utilizing React 18 with TypeScript for the frontend, Vite 6 as the build tool, and Express.js for the backend. Supabase (PostgreSQL) serves as the primary database. Styling is handled with Tailwind CSS, and UI components leverage Radix UI. TanStack Query is used for state management, and React Router DOM for routing.

The application features a multi-realm system including Nexus, GameForge, Foundation, Labs, Corp, Staff, and Dev-Link (7 total), each with specific functionalities. Key capabilities include community features (feed, posts, comments), a Creator Network with profile passports and achievements, and a Nexus Marketplace for opportunities and contracts. A significant component is the Discord Integration, which includes a bot for commands, OAuth, and role management, alongside a bidirectional feed bridge for syncing content between Discord and the platform.

The UI/UX emphasizes an isometric 2.5D realm selector, replacing 3D scenes with CSS-based isometric cards for performance. It features responsive grids, ambient particles, and interactive tilt effects. The platform also supports an Electron desktop application with a secure IPC bridge and an automated build/release pipeline for multi-platform distribution.

Domain architecture is centralized around aethex.foundation as the Identity Authority (SSOT) for all identity and passport data, with all other platforms acting as OAuth clients. Creator and Project Passports are accessed via wildcard subdomains (*.aethex.me, *.aethex.space).

The monolith (aethex.dev) implements split routing to enforce legal separation between For-Profit and Non-Profit arms:

Route Destination Legal Entity Action
/foundation/* https://aethex.foundation Non-Profit (Guardian) Redirect
/gameforge/* https://aethex.foundation/gameforge Non-Profit (Program) Redirect
/dashboard/gameforge https://aethex.foundation/gameforge/dashboard Non-Profit Redirect
/labs/* stays on aethex.dev For-Profit (Skunkworks) Local
/nexus/* stays on aethex.dev For-Profit (Monetization) Local
/corp/* stays on aethex.dev For-Profit (Services) Local

This ensures the Foundation's user-facing URLs display aethex.foundation in the browser, demonstrating operational independence per the Axiom Model.
