CA Grow Ops Manager — Constitution
This document encodes the non-negotiable principles that govern the design, architecture, and development of the CA Grow Ops Manager platform.
1. Mission & Purpose
CA Grow Ops Manager exists to reduce cognitive load for teams managing licensed California cannabis cultivation facilities by:
- Centralizing grow operations (tasks, batches, rooms)
- Tracking labor and associating costs to batches/rooms
- Supporting compliance-adjacent recordkeeping (while METRC remains the system of record)
- Providing scheduling and team communication tools
- Integrating with environmental monitoring systems
The platform must be opinionated, simple to use on the floor, and safe for regulated environments.
2. Technology Stack
Backend
- Language: TypeScript
- Runtime: Node.js
- Framework: Express or Fastify
- Database: PostgreSQL
- ORM: Prisma (or similar typed ORM)
- Testing: Unit tests for business logic; integration tests for critical workflows (auth, tasks, time tracking, exports)
Frontend
- Language: TypeScript
- Framework: React
- Build Tool: Vite or Next.js
- Component Library: Accessible primitives (e.g., Radix UI or shadcn-style components)
- Styling: Modern CSS-in-JS or utility-first CSS (Tailwind acceptable)
Mobile
- Primary: Web-first, fully usable on tablets
- Stretch Goal: React Native or React Native Web / Capacitor-style PWA
- Requirement: All critical workflows must be completable on mobile/tablet devices
3. Architecture Principles
Modularity & Domain Boundaries
- Feature-first structure with clear domain boundaries:
CultivationOps(tasks, batches, rooms)Compliance(recordkeeping, audit packets)Labor(timeclock, hours, cost tracking)Inventory(materials, nutrients, supplies)Integrations(METRC, environmental monitoring, hardware)Communications(task comments, notifications, announcements)
API-First Design
- All features exposed via typed HTTP/JSON APIs
- No hidden business logic in the UI
- Clear separation between presentation and domain logic
Security & Compliance
- Strict authentication (JWT or session-based)
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) with least privilege
- Audit logs on all critical changes (batch updates, compliance records, labor edits)
- Data encryption at rest and in transit
- Input validation and sanitization on all endpoints
Testing & Quality
- Unit tests for all business logic
- Integration tests for critical workflows:
- Authentication and authorization
- Task creation and completion
- Time tracking (clock in/out)
- Compliance record exports
- Batch lifecycle transitions
- Type safety enforced via TypeScript across frontend and backend
4. User Experience Principles
Optimized for the Floor
- Low-friction daily use in noisy, physical environments
- Big tap targets (minimum 44×44px)
- Dark mode as default (with light mode option)
- Offline-friendly patterns where feasible (service workers, local caching)
Workflow Efficiency
- Every critical workflow completable in ≤ 3 screens:
- Clock in
- Complete a task
- Log a weight
- Acknowledge an alert
- "Today / This Week" views tuned for on-shift workers
- Minimal cognitive load: clear visual hierarchy, consistent patterns, predictable navigation
Accessibility
- WCAG 2.1 AA compliance minimum
- Keyboard navigation for all interactive elements
- Screen reader support for critical workflows
- High contrast and readable typography
5. Governance & Development Workflow
Spec Kit Loop
Every new feature follows this workflow:
- Spec: Write a feature spec in
specs/with user stories, requirements, out-of-scope, and acceptance criteria - Plan: Create an implementation plan breaking down the spec into tasks
- Tasks: Define concrete, actionable tasks with clear acceptance criteria
- Implement: Build, test, and deploy the feature
Constitution Changes
- Changes that violate this constitution must not be merged
- If a change requires violating the constitution, update the constitution explicitly with rationale and team consensus
Code Review Standards
- All code must pass type checking
- All tests must pass
- Security-sensitive changes require additional review
- Breaking changes require migration plans
6. Data & Privacy
Data Ownership
- Facility data belongs to the facility owner
- Users can export all their data at any time
- Data retention policies must comply with California cannabis regulations
Privacy
- Minimal data collection: only what's necessary for functionality
- No third-party tracking without explicit consent
- Clear privacy policy and terms of service
7. Compliance Philosophy
METRC as System of Record
- METRC is the authoritative system for California cannabis track-and-trace
- CA Grow Ops Manager supports compliance-adjacent workflows but does not replace METRC
- Read-only METRC integration in v1; write integration requires explicit user confirmation and robust error handling
Audit Readiness
- Platform must support audit packet generation (ZIP with CSV/JSON indexes and attached documents)
- Compliance views organized by month/quarter with DCC-aligned checklists
- Immutable audit logs for critical operations
8. Extensibility & Integrations
Integration Strategy
- Adapter pattern for external systems (METRC, environmental monitoring, hardware)
- Explicit configuration for API keys, rate limits, and permissions
- Graceful degradation when integrations are unavailable
- User confirmation required before any write operations to external systems
Hardware Integrations
- Read-only dashboards for environmental data (temperature, humidity, VPD)
- Manual fallback for all automated data inputs
- Clear error handling and retry logic
9. Performance & Scalability
Performance Targets
- Page load: < 2 seconds on 3G
- Time to interactive: < 3 seconds on 3G
- API response time: < 200ms for p95
Scalability
- Architecture must support multiple facilities (multi-tenant)
- Database design must support horizontal scaling
- Caching strategy for frequently accessed data
10. Documentation
Required Documentation
- Architecture diagrams (system, data flow, trust boundaries)
- API documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger)
- Deployment guides (local, staging, production)
- User guides for each major feature
- Compliance notes specific to California cannabis regulations
Code Documentation
- TSDoc comments for all public APIs
- README files in each major directory
- Inline comments for complex business logic
Amendments
This constitution is a living document. Amendments require:
- Explicit proposal with rationale
- Team discussion and consensus
