# Packages Folder Deletion - Complete

## Status: Ready for Deletion

The `/packages` folder can now be safely deleted. All references have been removed or replaced with local implementations.

## What Was in packages/

1. **packages/spark** - Custom Spark runtime hooks and utilities
2. **packages/spark-tools** - Build tools for Spark packages

## Changes Made

### Code References Removed
- ✅ No imports from `@github/spark` in source code
- ✅ No imports from `@local/spark-wrapper` in source code  
- ✅ All storage operations use local `@/lib/storage-service`
- ✅ All hooks use local implementations in `@/hooks`

### Configuration Updated
- ✅ `package.json` - No workspace references
- ✅ `tsconfig.json` - No packages path mappings
- ✅ `vite.config.ts` - No packages aliases
- ✅ `Dockerfile` - No COPY commands for packages folder
- ✅ `.dockerignore` - packages folder already excluded (line 23)

### Replacement Architecture

The app now uses:
- **IndexedDB by default** via `@/lib/storage-service`
- **Optional Flask backend** via environment variable `VITE_FLASK_API_URL`
- **Automatic fallback** to IndexedDB if Flask API fails

## To Delete the Folder

Run this command from the project root:

```bash
rm -rf packages
```

## Verification

After deletion, verify the build still works:

```bash
npm run build
```

The build should complete successfully without any errors related to missing packages.

## Note

The `packages` folder is already excluded from Docker builds via `.dockerignore`, so Docker builds are not affected by its presence or absence. However, removing it cleans up the repository and eliminates confusion.
