# Impuestos Tax automation for Paraguayan taxpayers: scan comprobantes, classify them for IVA credit and IRP deductions, watch a live tax position, and get Formulario 120 and 515 pre-filled and ready to file yourself. Working name. See `docs/` for the specifications, `DECISIONS.md` for choices made along the way and the gaps that still need answers. > **Status: phase 8 of 8, feature complete.** The whole taxpayer path works: scan a > comprobante, confirm it, watch the position move, and take the resulting Formulario 120 or 515 from review to > approved to a PDF you file yourself in Marangatu. Staff have a console: look an account > up, work the ingestion error queue, read and export the audit log. It installs to a home > screen, keeps a capture taken with no signal and sends it later, and can send a push when > a deadline is close. It runs on SQLite on one box or on Postgres and S3 across as many > replicas as you like, and the whole suite is run against both. --- ## Quick start ```bash pnpm install cp apps/api/.env.example apps/api/.env cp apps/web/.env.example apps/web/.env pnpm db:migrate pnpm db:seed pnpm dev ``` The web app is on http://localhost:3005, the API on http://localhost:4000. `db:seed` prints the development sign in details for the four demo accounts. Two of those accounts reach the staff console at `/es/usuarios`, `/es/errores` and `/es/auditoria`: `staff@demo.local` can search accounts, work the error queue and read the audit log, and `superadmin@demo.local` can also change roles. Everyone else gets a plain "team only" page and a 403 from the API. The web port lives in `apps/web/.env` and `apps/api/.env` has to name the same one in `APP_PUBLIC_URL` and `BETTER_AUTH_URL`. Auth checks the request Origin, so a mismatch fails sign in with a 403 that looks nothing like a port problem. `localhost` and `127.0.0.1` count as different origins too. Or the whole thing in containers, with nothing installed but Docker: ```bash docker compose up ``` That builds both images, migrates, seeds and serves http://localhost:3000. Only the web port is published: the browser talks to one origin and `/api` is forwarded internally. ## Architecture ``` Browser ──► apps/web (Next.js, stateless) │ app/api/[...path]/route.ts ──► API_INTERNAL_URL ▼ apps/api (Hono on Node, stateless) ├── Better Auth (sessions in the database) ├── Kysely ──► SQLite or Postgres ├── StorageDriver ──► local disk or S3 compatible ├── Jobs (portable table and poller) └── Notifications (push, email, Telegram) ``` `apps/api` is the only process that touches the database or storage. `apps/web` renders UI, holds no secrets beyond `API_INTERNAL_URL`, and reaches the API only through the typed client in `packages/contracts`. Because the browser only ever sees the web origin, cookies are first party and there is no CORS configuration anywhere. | Path | What lives there | |---|---| | `apps/api` | HTTP, auth, database, jobs, storage, notifications | | `apps/web` | Every screen, PWA, no database access at all | | `packages/rules` | Tax math, form definitions, calendario. Pure, no I/O | | `packages/contracts` | Zod schemas and the typed API client | | `packages/i18n` | Message catalogs, `t()`, `formatGs`, date formatting | | `deploy/` | Compose stack and k8s manifests | | `docs/` | The specifications this is built from | Module boundaries are enforced by eslint, not convention: `packages/*` cannot import from `apps/*`, only `modules/pii` reaches the PII tables, the web app cannot import a database driver, and user facing strings cannot be written inline in JSX. ## Commands | Command | What it does | |---|---| | `pnpm dev` | Both apps in watch mode | | `pnpm test` | Vitest across the workspace | | `pnpm test:coverage` | The tax rules with coverage, which fails below 100% | | `pnpm test:e2e` | Playwright against a running stack (`E2E_BASE_URL` to point it) | | `pnpm typecheck` | `tsc --noEmit` in every package | | `pnpm lint` | eslint, including the module boundary and inline copy rules | | `pnpm db:migrate` | Auth tables, then our migrations | | `pnpm db:seed` | Demo accounts and their comprobantes, idempotent | | `pnpm db:reset` | Drops the local SQLite file and rebuilds it. Destructive, SQLite only | | `pnpm --filter @impuestos/api fixtures` | Redraws the scan fixtures under `/fixtures` | ## Configuration Every variable is documented in `apps/api/.env.example` and `apps/web/.env.example`, and validated with Zod at boot: a bad value stops the process with a message naming the variable and the problem. A test asserts `.env.example` and the schema never drift apart. The two that decide everything else: - **`DATABASE_URL`** picks the dialect. `sqlite:./data/app.db` or `postgres://...`. Nothing else selects it, and the same migrations run on both. - **`STORAGE_DRIVER`** picks the file backend: `local` or `s3`. `s3` additionally requires a bucket, a region and both keys, checked at boot. ## Deployment modes | Mode | Database | Storage | api replicas | Worker | |---|---|---|---|---| | Combined (one VPS) | SQLite | local volume | 1 | inline | | Split small | SQLite | shared volume | 1 | inline | | Scaled (k8s) | Postgres | S3 | N | 1+ dedicated, `JOBS_INLINE=false` | Both apps are stateless: no in process state that breaks with N replicas, no local writes outside the storage driver, `/healthz` and `/readyz` on both, and SIGTERM fails readiness first, then drains in flight requests for up to 25 seconds before closing the pool. Two things bound how far the combined mode scales, and both fail loudly rather than quietly corrupting: SQLite has a single writer, so the API refuses `JOBS_INLINE=false` and logs a scaling notice at boot; the local storage driver needs one shared volume across every replica, which it also says at boot. Scaling past one API replica means Postgres and S3. The k8s manifests assume both. Rate limiting is in memory and therefore per replica. At this scale that is deliberate; the limiter is behind an interface for when it is not. ### Running it on Kubernetes `deploy/k8s/` holds the manifests, and its README explains what each one is for. The order is namespace, config, secret, api, worker, web, ingress, hpa. Three things about the shape are worth knowing before you read them: **Migrations run as an initContainer on every API pod.** Two pods starting together is the normal case, not the exception, and it is safe: the migration takes a Postgres advisory lock on one pinned connection, so the second waits for the first and then finds nothing to do. **Exactly one poller per job, not one per replica.** The API Deployment sets `JOBS_INLINE=false` and the polling lives in its own worker Deployment. The worker is safe at any replica count on Postgres: claiming uses `FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED`, which `apps/api/src/modules/jobs/scale.test.ts` holds to a hundred jobs and two workers with no job claimed twice. **Only the web app is exposed.** The Ingress routes to the web Service and the API has no route in from outside. The browser talks to one origin and `/api` is forwarded inside the cluster, which is why there is no CORS configuration anywhere in this repository. Sizing: `DATABASE_POOL_MAX` is per pod. Multiply it by (api replicas + worker replicas) and keep the total under the Postgres `max_connections`, or the tenth pod to start is the one that cannot connect. ### What has not been run here The container images, the compose stack and the Kubernetes manifests have never been built or applied on the machine this was written on: there is no Docker daemon it can reach and no cluster. The manifests parse, their configuration is checked against the env schema by `apps/api/src/deploy.test.ts`, and the Dockerfiles are ordinary multi stage Node builds, but none of that is the same as having watched a pod come up. Treat the first deploy as the first real test of them. ## Installing it, offline and push `app/manifest.ts` and the icons in `apps/web/public` make the web app installable; the icons are generated from one SVG by `apps/web/scripts/generate-icons.mjs` and committed, so a build never needs a browser. The service worker (`apps/web/src/lib/service-worker.js`) caches the app shell and the `/offline` page and nothing else. No API response is cached: a tax figure that is quietly out of date is worse than one that is honestly missing. A scan taken with no network is stored whole in IndexedDB and sent when there is one. The chip in the shell says so and clears itself. Push needs VAPID keys on the API: ```bash npx web-push generate-vapid-keys ``` Put them in `apps/api/.env` as `PUSH_VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY` and `PUSH_VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY`, plus `PUSH_VAPID_SUBJECT` (an `https:` or `mailto:` URL) unless `APP_PUBLIC_URL` is already https. Without keys the offer is hidden everywhere; with keys and no usable subject, push switches itself off and logs why rather than taking the API down. ## Adding a locale 1. Add the code to `SUPPORTED_LOCALES` in `packages/i18n/src/locales.ts`. 2. Add one catalog file next to `es.ts` and `en.ts`, typed as `Record`, so the compiler lists anything you missed. That is the whole change. Routing, the switcher, the API's notification and error localization and the date formatting all read from that array. `formatGs` never localizes: money is always `Gs. 1.234.567`. Official form previews and PDFs stay Spanish in every locale, because they mirror DNIT forms. ## The tax rules Everything that decides a number lives in `packages/rules` and nothing there does I/O, so it is all directly testable. `docs/RULES.md` is authoritative for it and the module names follow that document's sections: `ruc.ts`, `calendario.ts`, `cdc.ts`, `classification.ts`, `f120.ts`, `f515.ts`, `projections.ts`. Three rules hold the package together: - **No floats in a money path.** Money is a branded `Pyg` of whole guaranies, percentages go through `percentOf`, which is integer arithmetic rounded half up, and `pyg()` throws on anything that is not a safe integer. - **Never guess a tax rule.** Anything `docs/RULES.md` does not state carries a `TODO-TAX-VERIFY` comment and a test that pins today's behaviour, so verifying it later is a red/green diff. `DECISIONS.md` has the register of all six. - **Data, not code.** The holiday table, the keyword to category map and the form definitions are plain data files. Extending them for a new year or a new keyword is not a code change. Coverage is enforced at 100%: `pnpm test:coverage` fails below it. ## Adding a form version Form definitions live in `packages/rules/src/forms` and every declaration stores the `rulesVersion` that produced it, so an old declaration always renders with the rules it was computed under. Add `f120.v2.ts` beside `f120.v1.ts`, bump `RULES_VERSION`, and leave the old definition in place: it is what old declarations still render through. ## Testing Vitest covers the rules package, the API services, and catalog parity. Playwright covers the golden paths against a running stack. The same suite runs against both dialects. With no `TEST_DATABASE_URL` it uses SQLite in memory; point that at a Postgres and every harness builds a database of its own inside it, which is how CI covers the claim that the product runs on either: ```bash TEST_DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:pass@localhost:5432/postgres pnpm test ``` Two tests only mean something on Postgres and skip themselves without it: the two-worker hundred-job claim test, and anything that depends on `FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED`. The S3 driver behaves the same way through `TEST_S3_ENDPOINT`. `pnpm test:e2e` does not start anything: bring the stack up first, then point it at the right origin. The suite signs in as the demo accounts and confirms, rejects and scans against their data, so it changes the state it runs in. Reset before a run, with the stack stopped, or the second run has a different bandeja than the first: ```bash pnpm db:reset ``` Then start the stack and run it: ```bash E2E_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3005 pnpm test:e2e ``` A dev server compiles each route the first time it is asked for, which is slow enough to push a sign in past the five seconds Playwright waits on a navigation. `e2e/global-setup.ts` asks for every screen once before the suite starts, so the cost is paid before the first test rather than by it. Against a heavily loaded dev server, one worker is still steadier than two: ```bash E2E_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3005 npx playwright test --workers=1 ```
