+### [2026-04-11 12:45] v1.3.0: Dockerization & Export Script
+**Purpose:** Upgraded the system architecture to support seamless dual-mode execution (Dockerized or Bare-Metal/Local). Extracted data and logic persistence layers to external volumes (`/data`, `/logs`). Added a dedicated production compiler.
+**Actions:**
+- `backend/database.py` and `users.py` now support `DATA_DIR` environment overrides.
+- Implemented `backend/logger.py` for standard Python rotating logs mapped to `/app/logs`.
+- Next.js configured for `standalone` output mode to strictly optimize containerized PWA size.
+- Orchestrated full environment with `docker-compose.yml`, using Caddy for local self-signed HTTPS termination.
+- Created `export_prod.sh` to extract a clean release bundle without AI/Dev files (using optimized `rsync`).
+**Modified Files:**
+- `backend/database.py`
+- `backend/routers/users.py`
+- `backend/logger.py` (New)
+- `backend/main.py`
+- `frontend/next.config.mjs`
+- `frontend/Dockerfile` (New)
+- `backend/Dockerfile` (New)
+- `docker-compose.yml` (New)
+- `Caddyfile` (New)
+- `export_prod.sh` (New)
+- `VERSION.json`

 ### [2026-04-11 12:35] v1.2.9: Automatic IDE Entry Points
 **Purpose:** Restored specific ID-based entry points (`GEMINI.md` and `CLAUDE.md`) as "Proxy Pointers" to ensure modern AI extensions (Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini IDE) naturally pick them up as system prompt injections.

-# AI Session State - HANDOVER
+# CURRENT AI WORKING SESSION
 
-**Status**: v1.2.6 Hotfixed & UX Polished. Persistent Gemini Context Created.
-**Current AI Agent**: Gemini (Antigravity)
-**Context**:
-- **Offline Auth**: LDAP users now have local password hash caching (v1.2.4).
-- **UI Affordance**: Added `ChevronDown` to selects and softened password dots.
-- **Icon Sync**: Unified iconography (Layers = Categories, Package = Item Types).
-- **Memory**: Created [GEMINI.md](../GEMINI.md) as the persistent entry point for this agent.
-- **Version**: Currently at **v1.2.6**. Commit log in `ARCHIVE_LOGS.md`.
+**Active AI:** Antigravity (Gemini)
+**Last Updated:** 2026-04-11
+**Current Version:** v1.3.0
+**Branch:** dev
 
-**Next Steps**:
-1.  **Phase 6: Advanced Audit Dashboard**. Current logs exist but could use a dedicated page with filtering.
-2.  Final testing of offline LDAP login (Basement simulation).
-3.  Verification of icon consistency in any new screens.
+### Current Status
+Finalized the system refactoring by implementing a complete, portable **Dockerization Architecture**. Introduced the `export_prod.sh` bundle compiler, centralized technical documentation into a Single Source Of Truth (`PROJECT_ARCHITECTURE.md`), and ensured exact reverse compatibility so that bare-metal development using `./start_server.sh` operates identically to previous versions.
+
+### Technical Context
+- **Persistence Mapping:** Local database (`inventory.db`) and `ldap_config.json` now persist through the environmental variable `DATA_DIR` (mapped to local `/data` volume).
+- **Log System:** Created `backend/logger.py` with Python's RotatingFileHandler. Streamed locally into `/logs`. 
+- **Standalone:** Next.js uses `output: standalone` configuration specifically to support the Node alpine dockerfile. Caddy replaces `local-ssl-proxy` only inside the Docker environment.
+
+### Next Steps / Blockers
+1. Testing actual AI flow in production mode (using the exported Production Bundle zip).
+2. Implementing the Advanced Audit log Dashboard inside the UI.
