Week 7: GuardScript - Core Backend Development

1. Objectives

  • Kick off the main development phase of GuardScript.
  • Set up the backend prototype and the foundational system domains.
  • Build the first APIs so frontend integration could begin.

2. Weekly Tasks Breakdown

DayMain TaskDetailsStatus
MonArchitecture Review- Rechecked the overall architecture after the scope was finalized.
- Identified which backend areas needed to be prioritized first.		Completed
TueBackend Prototype Setup- Set up the backend in Node.js/Express.
- Prepared the controller, utility, and data layer structure for the main domains.		Completed
WedBasic Auth Implementation- Implemented registration, login, user profile handling, and token-based access.
- Built the authentication foundation for login/register integration.		Completed
ThuWorkspace and Project Foundation- Initialized workspace and project handling at the foundation level.
- Created the base structure for later management features.		Completed
FriInitial Integration Coordination- Aligned basic API contracts with the frontend side for login/register and early data access.
- Reviewed response shape to support early integration.		Completed

3. Outcomes

  • The backend gained a clear initial structure that could be expanded further.
  • A functional auth foundation was formed for login/register and dashboard integration.
  • Domain-based separation made later parallel development easier.

4. Issues & Solutions

  • Issue: The early phase required balancing structural decisions with the need to deliver APIs quickly for integration.
  • Solution: Prioritized foundational APIs first, then expanded into more complex modules.

5. Next Steps

  • Extend the API set for project, file, license, and team management.
  • Begin implementing protected script delivery and execution-related flows.
