9The `http.tsx` file is the main server that responds with an HTML stream.
10The HTML includes a `<script type="module">` tag that loads the `client.tsx` file to hydrate the app
11with client-side routing provided by React Router's declarative mode.

1# React Hono Val Town Project Starter Template
2
3This is a starter template for a full-stack app in a Val Town Project. The app itself is a simple persistent message board.
1# Frontend
2
3This template is a classic client-side-only React app.
4
5## `index.html`
9This HTML file imports `/frontend/style.css` from `/public/style.css` and `/frontend/favicon.svg` from `/frontend/favicon.svg`. Everything in `/frontend/` is mapped to `/public` by `/backend/index.ts`. This is just a convention. You could import & serve everything out of the same folder name.
10
11This HTML file has a `<div id="root"></div>`, which is where we mount the React app.
12
13This HTML file imports `/frontend/index.tsx` from `/public/index.tsx`, which is the **entrypoint** for all frontend JavaScript, including all the React. It is not a problem that it imports a file with a `.tsx` extension becaues browsers ignore file extensions. They only pay attention to content-types, which is great, because all these files will be returned as transpiled JS with the appropriate JS content type by [stevekrouse/utils/serve-public](https://www.val.town/x/stevekrouse/utils/branch/main/code/serve-public/README.md).)
14
15## `index.tsx`
16
17This file is the **entrypoint** for frontend JavaScript. It imports the React app from `/frontend/components/App.tsx` and mounts it on `<div id="root"></div>`.
18
19It also looks for *bootstrapped* JSON data at `window.__INITIAL_DATA`, and passes that only to the `<App />`.
25## `components/`
26
27This directory is where the React components are stored. They're pretty standard client-side React components.
12## Serving assets to the frontend
13
14This backend HTTP server is responsible for serving all static assets to the browser to render the app, including HTML, JavaScript (including all client-side React), CSS, and even the favicon SVG.
15
16In a normal server environment, you would likely use a middleware [like this one](https://hono.dev/docs/getting-started/nodejs#serve-static-files) to serve static files. Some frameworks or deployment platforms automatically make any content inside a `public/` folder public.
26## CRUD API Routes
27
28This app has two CRUD API routes: for reading and inserting into the messages table. They both speak JSON, which is standard. They import their functions from `/backend/database/queries.ts`. These routes are called from the React app to refresh and update data.
29
30## Errors
8## Migrations
9
10In `backend/database/migrations.ts`, this app creates a new SQLite table `reactHonoStarter_messages` to store messages.
11
12This "migration" runs once on every app startup because it's imported in `index.ts`. You can comment this line out for a slight (30ms) performance improvement on cold starts. It's left in so that users who fork this project will have the migration run correctly.

155- Current health goals and any medication reminders needed?
156
157Your goal is to collect this information naturally through conversation and store it as memories (as undated memories). Once you've gathered sufficient background information, you can conclude the intake process and transition to normal reactive chat.
158
159If the conversation is already past the intake stage, then analyze the message content and think about which memories might be worth creating based on the information provided.
