Rule: Migrate Google AI Studio prototype to Domo App Platform Custom App (static dist deploy)

You are converting a project that began in Google AI Studio (often Cloud Run / preview oriented) into a Domo App Platform Custom App deployed as static assets via the Domo CLI. The required deployment contract is:

1. npm run build must produce a self-contained dist/ folder
2. cd dist && domo publish must work (Domo serves the app from a subpath, not from site root)
3. The app must load assets correctly and not break on refresh/navigation

Detect AI Studio origin

Treat the project as "AI Studio-origin" if you see any of:

• README mentions Google AI Studio / Gemini API / "Build" mode / Cloud Run
• cloudbuild.yaml, Dockerfile, or Cloud Run deploy instructions
• use of process.env.GEMINI_API_KEY or placeholders described as "provided by AI Studio"
• structure that runs via a server/container rather than static hosting

If detected, apply the steps below.

---

Primary objective

Make the project a conventional front-end that:

• runs locally with npm run dev
• produces production files with npm run build into dist/
• can be hosted from a non-root subpath (Domo App Platform)
• does NOT require any server runtime to render the UI

---

Step 1 — Ensure a standard build pipeline exists

Open package.json and ensure scripts exist and are correct for the chosen toolchain:

• If it is Vite:

  • dev: vite
  • build: vite build
  • preview: vite preview
  • Confirm output is dist/

• If it is CRA:

  • build outputs build/ by default (NOT acceptable for our contract)
  • Either: A) migrate to Vite (preferred for App Platform), OR B) update Domo publish docs/commands accordingly (only if user explicitly wants CRA)

Default to Vite if uncertain.

Acceptance criteria:

• npm install succeeds
• npm run build creates dist/ with index.html and assets/*

---

Step 2 — Fix base path so assets work in Domo (subpath hosting)

Domo App Platform does NOT host your app at /. It’s under a nested path. Therefore asset paths MUST be relative or explicitly configured.

• If Vite: set base to relative

  • in vite.config.*: base: './'

• If other bundler: ensure the equivalent "public path" is relative.

Acceptance criteria:

• Opening the built dist/index.html from a nested path still loads JS/CSS assets (no 404s).
• No hardcoded absolute asset paths like /assets/... unless you know the host root.

---

Step 3 — Make routing robust for static hosting

If the app uses React Router (or any client router):

• Prefer HashRouter for App Platform unless you know the platform provides SPA rewrites.
• If switching to HashRouter is too invasive, document that refresh on deep routes will 404 unless Domo is configured with a rewrite rule.

Default action:

• If router is present and no rewrite control is known: switch to HashRouter.

Acceptance criteria:

• Built app can navigate and refresh without server rewrites.

---

Step 4 — Environment variables and secrets: remove AI Studio-only assumptions

AI Studio can "magically" provide placeholders (e.g., Gemini API key) during its hosted run. In Domo App Platform, the browser cannot safely hold secrets.

Rules:

• Do NOT ship any raw API keys in client code.
• If the UI needs Gemini/LLM calls:
  • Prefer Domo AI APIs via domo.js if available/allowed, OR
  • Proxy through a backend (e.g., Domo Code Engine) that injects secrets server-side.
• Replace process.env.* patterns with toolchain-native env usage:
  • Vite: import.meta.env.VITE_*
• Add .env.example documenting required variables (non-secret only).

Acceptance criteria:

• No committed secrets.
• No runtime crashes from missing AI Studio env injection.

---

Step 5 — Domo deploy contract

Ensure the final developer workflow is:

• npm run build
• cd dist
• domo publish

If a Domo manifest/config file is required by the App Platform project (e.g., manifest.json), ensure it is located where Domo expects it OR copied into dist/ during build.

If the platform expects the manifest in the root but publishes dist/, implement one of:

• Copy required config/manifest into dist/ as part of build (postbuild script)
• Or adjust publish strategy if the user’s established standard differs

Default:

• Add a postbuild script to copy required app platform files into dist/ if they are missing there.

Acceptance criteria:

• dist/ contains everything needed to publish and run.
• domo publish from inside dist/ works without manual file copying.

---

Output requirements (what you must deliver as the assistant)

After applying changes, provide:

1. A short list of files changed
2. The exact commands to run locally
3. A "done checklist" confirming:
   • build produces dist/
   • assets load under subpath
   • routing works (hash router or documented rewrite need)
   • no secrets in client

Be decisive; implement changes rather than asking follow-up questions unless blocked by missing files.
