Technical guide

This section is for administrators, operators, integrators, and developers.

• Architecture explains the Laminas/Doctrine monolith and module boundaries.

• Runtime configuration explains host and environment selection.

• Backend modules maps the supporting modules that do not belong in the end-user guide.

• Database entity relationship diagram is the full generated schema reference. Focused diagrams explain the Chemical, Equipment, Room, and Run domains.

• Administration and permissions covers users, roles, permits, caches, logs, and OAuth clients.

• Mailing and reporting describe the two major backend subsystems.

• Git release workflow describes how features are selected for concurrent release branches without promoting everything on develop.

• Installation, operational queries, functional designs, development guidelines, OAuth, the exported data model, and the generated API reference are grouped beneath this guide in the navigation.

Technical behaviour is often host-specific. Confirm SOLODB_HOST and SOLODB_ENVIRONMENT before running commands or interpreting configuration.
