Two follow-ups to the text-size control. Spacing now scales with the text. All padding, margin, gap and min-height declarations in globals.css move from px to rem (263 declarations, converted mechanically), so --ui-scale drives the whole layout rather than just the glyphs. Deliberately left in px: border widths, which must stay hairlines; box-shadow offsets; border-radius, which reads as bloated when scaled on large cards; --shell-max, a container cap that must not outgrow the viewport; and media-query breakpoints, which are conditions rather than declarations. With spacing following along, the presets gain a 1.5 "Máximo" step and MAX_UI_SCALE rises from 1.4. The preference now lives on the account instead of only in one browser. User.uiScale (Float, default 1) is added to the schema and to the safe select, so it rides along on /auth/login and /auth/me. PATCH /auth/preferences writes it, guarded by AuthenticatedGuard only — every role including VIEWER may set their own, and the target is always the session's user id, never a body parameter, so this cannot be used to touch another account. The global ValidationPipe's whitelist rejects any extra field, so role cannot ride in alongside uiScale. localStorage stays, demoted to a pre-paint cache for the layout.tsx script; AppShell reconciles it against the account once /auth/me answers, with the account winning. FontScaleControl becomes a controlled component since the same value is now edited from the appbar and the drawer. Verified against the dev API: PATCH persists and is reflected by a subsequent /auth/me, out-of-range values are rejected 400, and an extra "role" field in the body is rejected 400.

Jorge Cuadros & Asociados — Platform
Internal platform for a Baja California insurance brokerage and property-services
firm: a single expedient joining each client's properties/services,
insurance policies, account statement, and the firm's checkbook.
It replaces a legacy PHP/Access app (see RESUME.md and PLAN.md for the full
history and rebuild rationale).
The UI is Spanish-first; the codebase and this document are in English.

/estado-cuenta, /banco (chequera), /catalogos, /usuarios, /login.
Prerequisites
- Node.js >= 20 and pnpm (
npm i -g pnpm) - Docker (for MySQL, or bring your own MySQL 8)
- Python 3 — only if you run the legacy data migration
Run it locally (development)
1. Install
pnpm install
pnpm blocks postinstall build scripts by default; the trusted ones
(argon2, prisma, @prisma/client, @prisma/engines, @nestjs/core) are
allowlisted in pnpm-workspace.yaml, so the native builds run automatically.
2. Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
Then edit .env. For the Docker MySQL below the defaults already line up;
just set a real SESSION_SECRET:
DATABASE_URL=mysql://jorgecuadros:jorgecuadros@localhost:3306/jorgecuadros
SESSION_SECRET=<any long random string>
WEB_ORIGIN=http://localhost:3000
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_ORIGIN=http://localhost:3001
The API loads DATABASE_URL, SESSION_SECRET, WEB_ORIGIN, and optional
PORT (default 3001). The web app only needs NEXT_PUBLIC_API_ORIGIN.
3. Start MySQL
docker compose up -d mysql
(Or point DATABASE_URL at an existing MySQL 8 instance.)
4. Create the schema + generate the Prisma client
The schema is managed with prisma db push (no migration history committed):
pnpm --filter @jorgecuadros/database exec prisma db push
pnpm --filter @jorgecuadros/database generate
5. Seed a sign-in user
node apps/api/scripts/seed-user.mjs
Idempotent (upsert by email). Defaults — override with SEED_EMAIL,
SEED_PASSWORD, SEED_NAME:
- email:
admin@jorgecuadros.local - password:
ChangeMe!2026 - role:
ADMIN
6. Run the apps (two terminals)
# API → http://localhost:3001
pnpm --filter @jorgecuadros/api start:dev
# Web → http://localhost:3000
pnpm --filter @jorgecuadros/web dev
Root shortcuts also exist: pnpm dev:api, pnpm dev:web.
7. Log in
Open http://localhost:3000, sign in with the seeded credentials. Sessions are cookie-based and last 8 hours.
Run it with Docker (full stack)
Builds MySQL + API + web from docker-compose.yml:
export SESSION_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
docker compose up --build
Web on http://localhost:3000, API on http://localhost:3001. SESSION_SECRET
is required (compose fails without it). After first boot, push the schema and
seed a user against the container DB:
docker compose exec api node apps/api/scripts/seed-user.mjs
Common commands
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| Install | pnpm install |
| Dev — API | pnpm dev:api |
| Dev — Web | pnpm dev:web |
| Build all | pnpm build |
| Generate Prisma client | pnpm prisma:generate |
| Push schema (dev) | pnpm --filter @jorgecuadros/database exec prisma db push |
| Prisma Studio | pnpm prisma:studio |
| API tests | pnpm --filter @jorgecuadros/api test |
| Lint (web / api) | pnpm --filter @jorgecuadros/web lint · ... /api lint |
| Seed admin user | node apps/api/scripts/seed-user.mjs |
Auth & roles
Session auth via Passport local strategy; passwords hashed with Argon2 (no
plaintext, unlike the legacy app). Roles gate the UI and API — e.g. managing
/catalogos and /usuarios requires the appropriate ability (ADMIN /
MANAGER). New users are created by an admin in /usuarios; the first admin
comes from the seed script above.
Legacy data migration (optional)
migration/ holds the one-off Python ETL that lifts data out of the old
Microsoft Access database into MySQL.
pip install -r migration/requirements.txt
python migration/run_all.py
⚠️
run_all.pytruncates and reloads all downstream tables. Never run an individualtransform_*.pyin isolation — it orphans dependent tables. Seemigration/RECONCILIATION.mdfor details.
Production notes
- Use
pnpm --filter @jorgecuadros/database exec prisma migrate deployif/when a committed migration history is adopted; today dev usesdb push. - Set a strong
SESSION_SECRETand a locked-downDATABASE_URL. - The API expects
WEB_ORIGINto match the browser origin for session cookies. - Documents are stored in MinIO in the deployed environment (see
RESUME.md).
