dataflow/docs/ui.md
Paul Trowbridge 7dcd8c4b61 Consolidate documentation into docs/ and cut the duplication
Architecture, file structure, the manage.py menu, and the API reference were
each documented in two or three of README.md, SPEC.md, and CLAUDE.md — the same
drift trap the SQL just had.

SPEC.md, examples/GETTING_STARTED.md, and ui/README.md move into docs/.
PERSPECTIVE.md and docs/perspective-pivot.md merge into docs/perspective.md,
version rationale first, then the API reference. README.md becomes an entry
point that links out, and CLAUDE.md keeps only working rules and non-obvious
behaviour, pointing at docs/spec.md for the rest. examples/ keeps just the
sample CSV the tutorial loads.

Corrections found while consolidating:

- the spec's API table was missing 20 routes — every override endpoint, most of
  /api/stacks, the mapping remap routes, /health. Rebuilt from the route files
- the tutorial used port 3000 (default is 3020) and never mentioned Basic auth,
  so every curl in it would have 401'd
- the tutorial and the spec each hand-listed the SQL deploy order; both now
  point at manage.py, which is where the order actually lives
- CLAUDE.md described deduplication as an MD5 hash (it is a plain JSONB object),
  claimed 5 tables and 4 functions, and told you to run a setup.sh that has not
  existed for some time

# Dataflow UI
React + Vite + Tailwind CSS frontend for Dataflow.
## Development
```bash
npm install
npm run dev # dev server on :5173, proxies /api to :3020
```
## Build
```bash
npm run build # outputs to ../public/
```
The Express server serves `../public/` as static files — no separate web server needed in production.
## Key packages
- `react` / `react-router-dom` — SPA routing
- `@perspective-dev/client`, `viewer`, `viewer-datagrid`, `viewer-d3fc` — pivot table (npm, inline WASM builds)
- `tailwindcss` — utility CSS
- `sql-formatter` — SQL display formatting
