+### Troubleshooting
+
+**Getting 502 Bad Gateway errors?**
+
+The dev server must run on port 5000 for Codespaces forwarding:
+
+```bash
+# Run diagnostics
+bash scripts/diagnose-502.sh
+
+# Kill any existing server
+npm run kill
+
+# Start fresh
+npm run dev
+```
+
+For detailed troubleshooting, see [docs/502_ERROR_FIX.md](./docs/502_ERROR_FIX.md)
+
 ### Quick Start
 1. **Save Your Work** - Use **Save Project** button to persist your work to the database

+# 502 Bad Gateway Error Fix Guide
+
+## Problem Summary
+
+You're experiencing multiple related issues:
+
+1. **502 Bad Gateway errors** - Vite dev server not accessible
+2. **Port mismatch** - Server configured for port 5173, but Codespaces URL uses port 5000
+3. **CI/CD failures** - workspace dependencies causing `npm ci` to fail
+4. **Resource loading errors** - MIME type mismatches due to dev server being unreachable
+
+## Root Causes
+
+### 1. Port Mismatch (FIXED)
+- **Problem**: Vite was configured to run on port 5173, but your Codespaces forwarded URL expects port 5000
+- **Solution**: Updated `vite.config.ts` to use port 5000
+- **Status**: ✅ FIXED
+
+### 2. Workspace Dependencies Issue
+- **Problem**: `package.json` uses `"@github/spark": "workspace:*"` which `npm ci` doesn't support
+- **Impact**: CI/CD pipelines fail with `EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL` error
+- **Solutions**:
+  - **Option A**: Use `npm install` instead of `npm ci` (loses lockfile validation)
+  - **Option B**: Switch to `pnpm` (better workspace support)
+  - **Option C**: Remove workspace protocol and use version numbers (breaks local development)
+
+### 3. Server Not Running
+- **Problem**: Dev server may not be started or may have crashed
+- **Solution**: Ensure `npm run dev` is running in Codespaces terminal
+
+## Quick Fix Steps
+
+### Step 1: Restart the Dev Server
+```bash
+# Kill any existing processes on port 5000
+npm run kill
+
+# Start the dev server
+npm run dev
+```
+
+The server should now start on port 5000 and bind to `0.0.0.0` (accessible externally).
+
+### Step 2: Verify Port Forwarding
+1. Open the **Ports** panel in VS Code/Codespaces
+2. Verify that port **5000** is listed and forwarded
+3. If not listed, the server isn't running - check Step 1
+4. Click the globe icon to open the forwarded URL
+
+### Step 3: Fix CI/CD (Choose One Option)
+
+#### Option A: Use `npm install` (Quick Fix)
+Update `.github/workflows/ci.yml` to replace all `npm ci` with `npm install`.
+
+**Pros**: Works immediately with workspace dependencies
+**Cons**: Doesn't validate lockfile, potentially slower
+
+#### Option B: Switch to pnpm (Recommended)
+1. Add pnpm setup to workflows:
+```yaml
+- name: Setup pnpm
+  uses: pnpm/action-setup@v2
+  with:
+    version: 8
+
+- name: Setup Node.js
+  uses: actions/setup-node@v4
+  with:
+    node-version: ${{ env.NODE_VERSION }}
+    cache: 'pnpm'
+
+- name: Install dependencies
+  run: pnpm install
+```
+
+2. Update all `npm` commands to `pnpm`
+3. Commit `pnpm-lock.yaml` instead of `package-lock.json`
+
+**Pros**: Native workspace support, faster, more reliable
+**Cons**: Requires workflow updates
+
+#### Option C: Remove Workspace Protocol (Not Recommended)
+Change `package.json`:
+```json
+"@github/spark": "1.0.0"
+```
+
+**Pros**: Works with `npm ci`
+**Cons**: Breaks local monorepo setup, requires manual version syncing
+
+## Expected Results After Fix
+
+### Dev Server (Local/Codespaces)
+```
+  VITE v7.3.1  ready in 1234 ms
+
+  ➜  Local:   http://localhost:5000/
+  ➜  Network: http://0.0.0.0:5000/
+  ➜  press h + enter to show help
+```
+
+### Browser Console
+- No 502 errors
+- Vite client loads successfully
+- React app renders properly
+- HMR (Hot Module Replacement) works
+
+### CI/CD Pipeline
+- `npm install` (or `pnpm install`) succeeds
+- Build completes without errors
+- Tests run successfully
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Still Getting 502 Errors?
+
+1. **Check if server is running**:
+   ```bash
+   lsof -i :5000
+   # Should show node/vite process
+   ```
+
+2. **Check server logs**:
+   - Look for errors in terminal where `npm run dev` is running
+   - Common issues: port conflicts, missing dependencies, syntax errors
+
+3. **Verify network binding**:
+   - Ensure vite.config.ts has `host: '0.0.0.0'`
+   - Localhost-only binding (`127.0.0.1`) won't work in Codespaces
+
+4. **Check Codespaces port visibility**:
+   - In Ports panel, ensure port 5000 is set to "Public" or "Private to Organization"
+   - "Private" (local only) won't work from browser
+
+### MIME Type Errors?
+
+These are usually secondary to 502 errors. Once the dev server is accessible:
+- Vite serves files with correct MIME types
+- `@vite/client` loads as JavaScript
+- `.css` files load as stylesheets
+- HMR works properly
+
+If MIME errors persist after fixing 502s, check:
+- `index.html` for incorrect `<link>` or `<script>` tags
+- Vite config for asset handling issues
+
+## Files Changed
+
+- ✅ `vite.config.ts` - Changed port from 5173 to 5000
+- ⏳ `.github/workflows/ci.yml` - Needs update for workspace dependencies
+- ⏳ `.github/workflows/e2e-tests.yml` - May need similar updates
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Immediate**: Restart dev server with `npm run dev`
+2. **Short-term**: Test and verify app loads in browser
+3. **Medium-term**: Fix CI/CD pipeline (choose Option A or B above)
+4. **Long-term**: Consider migrating fully to pnpm for better monorepo support

+# 502 Error Resolution - Changes Summary
+
+## Overview
+
+Fixed multiple 502 Bad Gateway errors and CI/CD failures caused by:
+1. Port mismatch between Vite config and Codespaces forwarding
+2. Workspace dependency protocol incompatibility with `npm ci`
+3. Documentation gaps for troubleshooting these issues
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### ✅ 1. Vite Configuration (`vite.config.ts`)
+
+**Changed:**
+```typescript
+server: {
+  host: '0.0.0.0',
+  port: 5000,        // Changed from 5173
+  strictPort: false,
+}
+```
+
+**Why:** Codespaces forwarded URLs expect port 5000, but Vite default is 5173.
+
+**Impact:** Dev server now accessible at correct forwarded URL.
+
+---
+
+### ✅ 2. CI/CD Workflows (`.github/workflows/*.yml`)
+
+**Changed in `ci.yml`:**
+- Lint job: `npm ci` → `npm install`
+- Test job: `npm ci` → `npm install`
+- Build job: `npm ci` → `npm install`
+- E2E Tests job: `npm ci` → `npm install`
+
+**Changed in `e2e-tests.yml`:**
+- Install step: `npm ci` → `npm install`
+
+**Why:** 
+- Package.json uses `"@github/spark": "workspace:*"`
+- `npm ci` doesn't support workspace protocol
+- CI/CD was failing with `EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL` error
+
+**Impact:** CI/CD pipelines now install successfully.
+
+**Trade-offs:**
+- ✅ Works with workspace dependencies
+- ⚠️ Doesn't validate lockfile (less strict)
+- ⚠️ Potentially slower than `npm ci`
+
+**Alternative (future):** Migrate to pnpm for better workspace support.
+
+---
+
+### ✅ 3. Diagnostic Script (`scripts/diagnose-502.sh`)
+
+**Created:** Comprehensive diagnostic tool that checks:
+1. Port 5000 availability
+2. Old port 5173 conflicts
+3. Vite config correctness
+4. Server binding configuration
+5. Node process status
+6. Workspace dependencies
+7. Module installation status
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+bash scripts/diagnose-502.sh
+```
+
+**Output:** Detailed diagnosis with specific recommendations.
+
+---
+
+### ✅ 4. Quick Fix Script (`scripts/fix-502.sh`)
+
+**Created:** Automated fix script that:
+1. Kills processes on port 5000
+2. Kills processes on port 5173 (old default)
+3. Verifies vite.config.ts
+4. Installs dependencies if needed
+5. Clears Vite cache
+6. Starts dev server
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+bash scripts/fix-502.sh
+```
+
+**Result:** One-command solution to most 502 issues.
+
+---
+
+### ✅ 5. Documentation
+
+**Created `docs/502_ERROR_FIX.md`:**
+- Comprehensive troubleshooting guide
+- Root cause analysis
+- Multiple solution approaches
+- Step-by-step fix instructions
+- Expected results after fixes
+- Advanced troubleshooting section
+
+**Created `docs/README.md`:**
+- Index of all documentation
+- Quick reference for common issues
+- Command cheat sheet
+- File change summary
+- Next steps guidance
+
+**Updated `README.md`:**
+- Added troubleshooting section
+- Quick fix commands
+- Link to detailed documentation
+
+---
+
+## Root Causes Explained
+
+### Issue 1: Port Mismatch
+
+**What happened:**
+- Vite configured to run on port 5173 (default)
+- Codespaces forwarded URL expects port 5000
+- Browser tries to connect to port 5000
+- No server listening → 502 Bad Gateway
+
+**The fix:**
+- Changed Vite port to 5000
+- Server already bound to 0.0.0.0 (correct for Codespaces)
+
+### Issue 2: Workspace Dependencies
+
+**What happened:**
+- package.json: `"@github/spark": "workspace:*"`
+- CI/CD runs: `npm ci`
+- npm ci validates lockfile strictly
+- Workspace protocol not in npm lockfile spec
+- Error: `EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL`
+
+**The fix:**
+- Changed to `npm install` (more lenient)
+- Still installs correctly, just doesn't validate lockfile
+
+**Better fix (future):**
+- Migrate to pnpm (native workspace support)
+- Or use version numbers instead of workspace protocol
+
+### Issue 3: MIME Type Errors
+
+**What happened:**
+- Secondary issue caused by 502 errors
+- When Vite unreachable, browser shows error page
+- Error page loaded as JS → MIME type mismatch
+
+**The fix:**
+- Fixed 502 errors (above)
+- MIME errors resolved automatically
+
+---
+
+## Testing the Fixes
+
+### Local/Codespaces Testing
+
+1. **Stop any running servers:**
+   ```bash
+   npm run kill
+   ```
+
+2. **Start dev server:**
+   ```bash
+   npm run dev
+   ```
+
+3. **Expected output:**
+   ```
+   VITE v7.3.1  ready in 1234 ms
+
+   ➜  Local:   http://localhost:5000/
+   ➜  Network: http://0.0.0.0:5000/
+   ```
+
+4. **Open Codespaces URL** (should end with `:5000`)
+
+5. **Verify in browser:**
+   - App loads without errors
+   - No 502 errors in console
+   - HMR (hot reload) works
+
+### CI/CD Testing
+
+1. **Push changes to repository**
+
+2. **GitHub Actions should:**
+   - Install dependencies successfully
+   - Pass linting
+   - Build successfully
+   - Run tests
+
+3. **Check workflow logs:**
+   - `npm install` should complete
+   - No `EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL` errors
+   - Build artifacts created
+
+---
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+### If You See 502 Errors
+
+```bash
+# One-command fix
+bash scripts/fix-502.sh
+
+# Or manually
+npm run kill
+npm run dev
+```
+
+### If CI/CD Fails
+
+**Check these:**
+1. `.github/workflows/ci.yml` uses `npm install` (not `npm ci`)
+2. `.github/workflows/e2e-tests.yml` uses `npm install`
+3. All workflow changes committed and pushed
+
+### If Port Issues Persist
+
+**Verify:**
+```bash
+# Should show port 5000
+grep "port:" vite.config.ts
+
+# Should show 0.0.0.0
+grep "host:" vite.config.ts
+
+# Should show Vite process
+lsof -i :5000
+```
+
+---
+
+## Future Improvements
+
+### Short-term
+- [ ] Add health check endpoint to verify server status
+- [ ] Add port conflict detection to startup script
+- [ ] Document Codespaces port forwarding setup
+
+### Medium-term
+- [ ] Migrate to pnpm for better workspace support
+- [ ] Add pre-commit hook to verify port config
+- [ ] Create Codespaces devcontainer.json with port forwarding
+
+### Long-term
+- [ ] Add automatic port detection/fallback
+- [ ] Create unified dev server manager
+- [ ] Add monitoring for dev environment health
+
+---
+
+## Rollback Instructions
+
+If changes cause issues:
+
+### Revert Vite Config
+```typescript
+// vite.config.ts
+server: {
+  host: '0.0.0.0',
+  port: 5173,  // Back to default
+  strictPort: false,
+}
+```
+
+### Revert CI/CD
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/*.yml
+- name: Install dependencies
+  run: npm ci  # Back to strict lockfile validation
+```
+
+**Note:** You'll need to fix workspace dependencies or regenerate lockfile.

+## File Changes Made
+
+| File | Change | Status |
+|------|--------|--------|
+| `vite.config.ts` | Port 5173 → 5000 | ✅ Fixed |
+| `.github/workflows/ci.yml` | `npm ci` → `npm install` (4 places) | ✅ Fixed |
+| `.github/workflows/e2e-tests.yml` | `npm ci` → `npm install` | ✅ Fixed |
+| `scripts/diagnose-502.sh` | Created diagnostic script | ✅ New |
+| `docs/502_ERROR_FIX.md` | Created comprehensive guide | ✅ New |
+
+## Next Steps After Fixes
+
+1. **Restart Development Server**
+   ```bash
+   npm run kill  # Kill existing processes
+   npm run dev   # Start fresh
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify in Browser**
+   - Open Codespaces forwarded URL for port 5000
+   - Should see React app load without errors
+   - Check browser console - no 502s
+
+3. **Test CI/CD**
+   - Push changes to trigger workflow
+   - Verify `npm install` succeeds
+   - Build should complete successfully
+
+4. **Long-term Improvements**
+   - Consider migrating to pnpm for better workspace support
+   - Add health check endpoint for monitoring
+   - Document port configuration for team
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If issues persist after applying fixes:
+
+1. **Check the diagnostic output**:
+   ```bash
+   bash scripts/diagnose-502.sh
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify Codespaces port forwarding**:
+   - Open Ports panel in VS Code
+   - Ensure port 5000 is forwarded
+   - Set visibility to Public or Private to Org
+
+3. **Check server logs**:
+   - Look for errors in terminal where dev server runs
+   - Common issues: missing deps, syntax errors, port conflicts
+
+4. **Clear Vite cache**:
+   ```bash
+   rm -rf node_modules/.vite
+   npm run dev
+   ```
+
+5. **Rebuild dependencies**:
+   ```bash
+   rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
+   npm install
+   npm run dev
+   ```
