-This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
-
-## Development Commands
-
-### Frontend Development
-- `trunk serve` - Start frontend development server at http://localhost:8080
-- `trunk build --release` - Build frontend for production
-- `cargo check` - Check frontend code compilation
-
-### Backend Development
-- `cargo run --manifest-path=backend/Cargo.toml` - Start backend server at http://localhost:3000
-- `cargo check --manifest-path=backend/Cargo.toml` - Check backend code compilation
-
-### Full Development Setup
-1. Start backend: `cargo run --manifest-path=backend/Cargo.toml`
-2. Start frontend: `trunk serve` (in project root)
-3. Access application at http://localhost:8080
-
-## Architecture Overview
-
-This is a full-stack calendar application with a Rust WebAssembly frontend and Rust backend, featuring CalDAV integration for calendar synchronization.
-
-### Frontend (Yew WebAssembly)
-- **Entry Point**: `src/app.rs` - Main application component with routing and state management
-- **Models**: `src/models/ical.rs` - RFC 5545-compliant iCalendar data structures (VEvent, VTodo, etc.)
-- **Services**: `src/services/calendar_service.rs` - HTTP client for backend API calls
-- **Components**: `src/components/` - UI components including calendar views, modals, and forms
-- **Views**: Month view (`month_view.rs`) and week view (`week_view.rs`) with drag-and-drop event modification
-
-### Backend (Axum)
-- **Entry Point**: `backend/src/main.rs` - HTTP server with CORS and routing
-- **Handlers**: `backend/src/handlers.rs` - API endpoints for calendar operations
-- **CalDAV Integration**: `backend/src/calendar.rs` - CalDAV client for server synchronization
-- **Authentication**: `backend/src/auth.rs` - JWT token management
-
-### Key Data Flow
-1. Frontend makes HTTP requests to backend API (`/api/*` endpoints)
-2. Backend authenticates requests and proxies to CalDAV servers
-3. Data uses RFC 5545 VEvent structures throughout the system
-4. Events support recurrence (RRULE), exceptions (EXDATE), and timezone conversion
-
-### Event Management Features
-- **Series Updates**: Events can be updated as "entire series" (`update_series`) or "this and future events" (`this_and_future`)
-- **Drag and Drop**: Week/month views support dragging events to new times with automatic timezone conversion
-- **Recurring Events**: Full RRULE support with UNTIL dates and exception handling
-- **Timezone Handling**: Local time in UI, UTC for storage and API calls
-
-### Important Implementation Details
-- All event data uses RFC 5545-compliant VEvent structures (not legacy CalendarEvent)
-- Frontend converts local times to UTC before sending to backend
-- API expects `HH:MM` time format (not `HH:MM:SS`)
-- Recurrence modifications create new series with UNTIL dates on original events
-- Event UIDs are preserved across updates for CalDAV compatibility
-
-### Build Configuration
-- Frontend built with Trunk (see `Trunk.toml`)
-- Backend API URL: `http://localhost:3000/api` (configurable via `BACKEND_API_URL`)
-- Frontend serves on port 8080, backend on port 3000
-
-### Dependencies
-- **Frontend**: Yew, chrono, serde, web-sys, gloo-storage
-- **Backend**: Axum, tokio, reqwest, ical, jsonwebtoken
-- **Shared**: RFC 5545 iCalendar structures, UUID generation
